Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
“Zhuang Ling, it turned out to be true when you said I might encounter a b.l.o.o.d.y disaster! Just this morning, I tripped as soon as I stepped out of my house. I want to treat you to a meal to help dissipate my bad luck.”
“Zhuang Ling, please do the fortune telling for me again. I want to have a meal with you too.”
“Zhuang Ling, who are they? Aren’t I your only little sweetheart? Did you lie to me?”
Zhuang Ling’s face cracked with awkwardness. Watching the girls flock around Xu Yi, who was being called “Zhuang Ling” by the crowd, he felt the urge to lash out, his fists clenching as he ground his teeth with barely suppressed rage.
Finding a gap, Xu Yi squeezed out and ran towards the university gate, with the group of girls chasing after him. Once Xu Yi had drawn them away, Rong Qi felt a sense of relief as the noise around her subsided. She watched Xu Yi’s retreating figure, then gave Zhuang Ling a meaningful look, a smile playing on her lips. She said, “Zhuang Ling, your reputation has suffered.”
Zhuang Ling was practically radiating an aura of restrained violence, eager to punch someone.
Soon after Rong Qi and Zhuang Ling got into the car, Ye Nanshen returned.
“How was the baby today?” Ye Nanshen wrapped his arm around Rong Qi, holding her hand.
Rong Qi leaned on Ye Nanshen and said, “No trouble, quite well-behaved.”
“That’s good to hear,” said Ye Nanshen as his eyes narrowed slightly, “Little Qi, don’t believe the promises President Zhang made to you; he’s unreliable. You don’t have to wear yourself out. Whether you teach or not doesn’t matter, Capital University doesn’t lack a professor like you.”
“I understand. I’ve made up my mind. Once their final exams are over, I’ll leave. After all, we still have a bet with Cla.s.s 1,” said Rong Qi.
“And that laboratory…” Ye Nanshen paused, knowing that was Rong Qi’s greatest temptation.
Rong Qi lowered her gaze and said, “I’ll consider it carefully.”
Changing the subject, she said, “What about those two patients you mentioned earlier? When will you take me to see them? I have some time now and can go have a look.”
“Not now, you have a baby in your belly; you can’t overexert yourself. Let them wait,” said Ye Nanshen.
“It’s fine now; I’ll just go have a look.” Rong Qi insisted.
“Let’s talk about it another day,” said Ye Nanshen as he closed his eyes, feigning sleep.
Rong Qi looked back at him, noticing the dark circles that had formed under his eyes these past few days.
“About that Duan family…” Ye Nanshen suddenly opened his bloodshot eyes, his voice cold as ice.
Rong Qi interrupted, “I’ve already settled the matter with the Duan family, it’s fine.”
Rong Qi sat up straight, allowing Ye Nanshen to rest his head on her shoulder to sleep.
The familiar scent of Rong Qi calmed Ye Nanshen’s irritation considerably.
After returning to Clearcreek Mansion, Rong Qi led Ye Nanshen upstairs to sleep. It seemed that only with her by his side could Ye Nanshen truly rest. He held her close, cautious not to touch her stomach, lying at an awkward angle that looked uncomfortable, but his breathing soon evened out.
Rong Qi texted Zhuang Ling, inquiring if anything had happened at the company lately.
However, Zhuang Ling replied, [Ever since Master Shen found out about your pregnancy, he’s been staring at the sachet you gave him every day and smiling. Master Shen has been suffering from insomnia recently.]
Rong Qi put away her phone, gently smoothed Ye Nanshen’s furrowed brow, kissed his face, and held him as she closed her eyes to sleep. Ye Nanshen’s eyelashes quivered slightly, and his Adam’s apple bobbed as he quietly adjusted his breathing, embracing Rong Qi as he too fell asleep.
At the city hospital, Rong Tianshi’s condition had improved a lot compared to before, but the doctors said it was very likely he would spend the rest of his life in bed.
Due to a lack of funds, Mrs. Rong Sr. had to move out of the neighboring room and stay with Rong Tianshi. She thought at least by staying with Rong Tianshi, she had a meal to eat..
