Ji Yuanyuan looked up at her watch. It was already past eleven. Usually, Cheng Shuqin and Qin Haowen would be asleep at this time.
She could only give up, “Alright then.”
“Are you hungry? Do you want to eat something?” Qin Mucheng held Ji Yuanyuan’s hand and asked carefully.
Ji Yuanyuan shook his head, “I’m not eating. Rest early. Do you have a meeting tomorrow?”
Qin Mucheng led Ji Yuanyuan upstairs, “There is a meeting, but it starts at 10 a.m.”
When they pa.s.sed by the second floor, the two of them subconsciously lightened their footsteps.
When they returned to the room on the third floor, Ji Yuanyuan went to take a shower while Qin Mucheng waited at the door with a towel.
“How was your day? How did Zi’ang react?” Qin Mucheng asked as he stood at the door.
Ji Yuanyuan closed her eyes and rubbed the foam on his head, “It’s alright. He was quite cooperative at Teacher Cai’s house. However, he was a little depressed after coming out. I did not know if he would still go next time.” “What happened? Did something happen?” Qin Mucheng asked curiously.
Since he was very cooperative before, why did he stop cooperating after leaving Teacher Cai’s house?
“My second brother just doesn’t know what to do now. He wants a definite answer. However, neither Professor Cai nor Doctor Han could give him a definite answer.” Ji Yuanyuan sighed.
She turned on the tap and washed all the foam off her body.
She wrapped herself in a towel and came out of the bathroom, “Oh right, give Shao Xiuqi a call tomorrow. Teacher Cai gave him a prescription to boil Chinese medicine every day to soak Second Brother’s knees. When the time comes, get the kitchen to help cook it every day and send it to his room.”
“No problem. I’ll call him tomorrow morning.” Qin Mucheng took a towel from the rack beside him and carefully wiped the water droplets off Ji Yuanyuan’s head.
“You go to sleep first. I can do it myself.” Ji Yuanyuan was afraid of disturbing Qin Mucheng’s rest, so she grabbed the towel and said.
“I’m not sleepy yet.” Qin Mucheng did not let go.
Ji Yuanyuan hesitated for a moment before letting go.
“Also, have you thought about the school?” Qin Mucheng asked again.
Ji Yuanyuan was a little hesitant, but after hesitating for a few seconds, she still said, “I’ve thought about it. I’ll continue to study. There’s definitely no harm in reading more.”
Qin Mucheng could not help but laugh, “That’s right. You should strive to wait until Tangtang goes to kindergarten. You’re the mother with the highest education in the cla.s.s. Let Tangtang be proud for once.”
“No way! Your daughter has only been born for a few months, and you’re already so full?” Ji Yuanyuan said helplessly.
Qin Mucheng was a little surprised, “What do you mean?”
“Uh… I missed a word. I mean, it’s full of pride.” Ji Yuanyuan explained awkwardly.
Qin Mucheng did not suspect anything and chuckled, “I’m not encouraging you. If I say this, you might be more enthusiastic about learning.”
“That’s true.” Ji Yuanyuan heaved a sigh of relief.
By the time Ji Yuanyuan finished packing, it was already midnight.
The husband and wife were not in the mood to do anything else and quickly fell asleep.
The next day, Ji Yuanyuan took advantage of her lunch break to go to the inters.p.a.ce and prepare the medicine.
It was a week’s worth of supplies. She placed it in the trunk and planned to send it to Ji Zi’ang after work.
However, after Li Xu found out, she took the initiative to take on this job.
After all, it had been five or six days since Ji Zi’ang moved out, but she had not gone to visit him yet.
She wondered how Ji Zi’ang was doing there.
Ji Yuanyuan knew Li Xu’s worries and did not stop her.
After work, she sent the herbs to her mother’s house.
She would leave the rest to her parents.
After Li Xu and Zhang Kun took the medicine, they drove to the hotel where Ji Zi’ang was staying without eating dinner.
It would take at least an hour and a half to get there from home.
Send it over early so that the hotel’s kitchen staff can still use the medicine tonight.
However, Li Xu was a little hesitant when they arrived at the hotel.
She grabbed Zhang Kun’s arm and whispered, “Why don’t we not go see him, lest he feels uncomfortable seeing us.”
Although they were not related by blood, he was still the child he had raised for more than 20 years.
She understood him and knew how he felt.
He had not adjusted his emotions yet. He was not afraid of facing them. He was just worried that he would vent his negative emotions in front of them.
As parents, since they cannot share the burden for their children, they should not cause trouble for their children.
Zhang Kun hesitated for a moment before agreeing, “Alright, then leave it at the front desk.”
The two of them carried the bag of Chinese medicine and went to the front desk.
“h.e.l.lo, do you have a guest here named Ji Zi’ang?” Li Xu asked.
The young lady at the front desk asked politely, “May I ask who you are…”
“We’re his parents. We’re here to give him something. It’s not convenient for us to go over. Can we leave it with you? When we leave, can you send it to his room?” Li Xu probed.
The young lady at the front desk was in a dilemma.
Logically speaking, Mr. Ji was the boss’s friend and should have been given special treatment.
However, the ident.i.ty of this couple was unknown. What if…
“How about I help you contact Mr. Ji first?”
“No need, no need…” Li Xu hurriedly refused.
“Are you Uncle and Auntie?” A male voice suddenly came from behind.
The young lady at the front desk immediately shouted respectfully, “Boss, these two are Mr. Ji’s parents.”
Li Xu and Zhang Kun turned around in surprise. When they saw the man in front of them, the two of them quickly reacted.
This person was probably the Shao Xiuqi that Yuanyuan had mentioned.
“h.e.l.lo, Mr. Shao. We’re Ji Zi’ang’s parents. I heard from Yuanyuan that it’s all thanks to you taking care of him during this period of time.” Zhang Kun politely extended his hand towards Shao Xiuqi.
Shao Xiuqi also extended his hand and shook Zhang Kun’s hand. He smiled and said, “Uncle, Auntie, you don’t have to be so polite with me. Mucheng’s brother is my brother. We’re all family.”
Pausing for a moment, he looked at Zhang Kun’s hand and said, “Are you here to deliver something to Second Brother? Follow me, I’ll bring you there…” With that, he turned around and was about to leave.
Zhang Kun hurriedly said, “We won’t be going over. We’ll have to trouble your hotel staff to send the things over.”
“Why didn’t you come after coming all the way here?” Shao Xiuqi asked suspiciously.
“Zi’ang doesn’t want to see anyone now. I heard that he’s in a good mood living here, so we won’t disturb him.” Zhang Kun forced a smile.
Shao Xiuqi nodded. After a moment of silence, he said to the front desk, “Call someone over.”
The receptionist immediately picked up the walkie-talkie beside her.
A moment later, a beautiful girl in work clothes ran over.
“Boss..1
