Chapter 407 - 400: Sick
This morning, Bai Yiran was destined not to escape Leng Yichen’s morning exercise, and she almost arrived late at the company.
Bai Yiran couldn’t help but suspect that recently, Leng Yichen, this man, often made a fuss over her in the morning. Was it deliberate to make her late so that the company would fire her?
Sure enough, men are all dark-hearted!
Bai Yiran sat at her desk, thinking angrily.
Leng Yichen said he would take Bai Yiran out to celebrate Valentine’s Day in the evening. He must have made enough preparations to make up for standing her up on Christmas.
This should be Bai Yiran and Leng Yichen’s first Valentine’s Day together. Bai Yiran felt that she should give Leng Yichen something.
At noon, she gave up her lunch break to DIY a chocolate by hand, made exactly to her taste. Leng Yichen wasn’t very fond of sweets, so Bai Yiran had ulterior motives making this chocolate. Ostensibly it was for Leng Yichen, but she’d be the one eating it in the end.
The entire afternoon, Bai Yiran was full of anticipation for her first Valentine’s Day with Leng Yichen, wondering what kind of surprise this man would give her.
The time before getting off work seemed to drag on particularly long. Bai Yiran’s mind had already flown away, and her eyes kept glancing at the clock, hoping the last few minutes would pass quickly.
Just then, her phone rang. Bai Yiran glanced at the caller ID. It was Wu Jingjing....
During the New Year, Wu Jingjing had called Bai Yiran several times, but Bai Yiran didn’t answer. Aside from the fact that Leng Yichen didn’t like Wu Chengzu, Bai Yiran, being a married woman, always felt that Wu Jingjing was intentionally or unintentionally connecting her with Wu Chengzu, which troubled Bai Yiran.
Since Bai Yiran didn’t answer the call, the phone kept ringing, and Wu Jingjing seemed unwilling to hang up.
Sigh...
Bai Yiran sighed and finally answered the call, "Jingjing, what’s up?"
"Sister Yi Ran..." On the phone, Wu Jingjing’s voice was weak, and she sounded not well.
"What’s wrong with you? Why do you sound like that?"
A bout of coughing came through the phone, and then Wu Jingjing weakly said, "I think I’m sick. It’s so uncomfortable. Can you come to see me?"
"Where’s your dad?" Wu Jingjing was sick, and instead of looking for her father, she contacted Bai Yiran, which seemed somewhat inappropriate.
"I can’t reach my dad, I don’t know where he went..." There was grievance in Wu Jingjing’s voice, and in the next second, she started crying.
Listening to Wu Jingjing’s tearful cries, Bai Yiran felt a pang of heartache. This child was pitiful, being sick and unable to reach her father.
"Sister Yi Ran, I’m so uncomfortable and so hungry..."
Hearing what Wu Jingjing said on the phone, she was indeed very pitiful and needed someone to care for her. But today was Valentine’s Day, and she had already agreed with Leng Yichen. She didn’t want to give it up just like that.
After a series of internal struggles, Bai Yiran sighed and said, "Jingjing, send me your address, and I’ll come to see you."
The child was already like this, how could she really just ignore her? Bai Yiran really couldn’t do it.
After hanging up, Bai Yiran first tried to contact Wu Chengzu, but the phone was off and indeed unreachable.
Helpless, Bai Yiran could only call Leng Yichen.
"Hey, are you ready? I’ll come to pick you up." Leng Yichen’s voice was gentle.
"Um... can we go a bit later?"
"What’s wrong?"
"Wu Jingjing is sick and can’t reach Wu Chengzu, and she couldn’t find anyone else, so she reached out to me. I want to go and have a look, the child is young and I don’t want anything to happen."
There was silence on the other end of the phone, and Bai Yiran quietly waited for his response.
