Chapter 408 - 401: Visiting the Sick
On the other end of the line, Leng Yichen was silent. Bai Yiran had no idea what he was thinking.
"So, I’ll go check on Wu Jingjing first, and then we can go out afterward."
Bai Yiran continued.
"Bai Yiran, you really have the leisure to take care of other people’s children!"
"I..."
Before Bai Yiran could finish speaking, Leng Yichen had already coldly hung up the phone.
He’s angry...
Bai Yiran thought gloomily, looking at the fancy wrapped chocolate beside her, feeling like she wanted to cry but had no tears.
All she could do was quickly check on Wu Jingjing’s condition and then go to Leng Yichen as soon as possible to coax him well.
Soon, Bai Yiran received the address Wu Jingjing sent and the password to the front door.
Bai Yiran sighed inwardly. This child truly didn’t see her as an outsider!
Wu Chengzu’s home was very close to where Bai Yiran worked, so she could basically walk there.
When she arrived, Bai Yiran used the password Wu Jingjing gave her to open the door and enter the house.
The interior decoration was very low-key. Perhaps hearing the noise, a weak voice came from inside, "Is that Sister Yi Ran?"
"Yes."
Bai Yiran followed the voice to Wu Jingjing’s room, only to see the child’s pale face, shaking all over, looking quite serious. Bai Yiran quickly stepped forward, reaching out to touch Wu Jingjing’s forehead. She had a fever.
"Jingjing, can you move? Shall we go to the hospital?"
Wu Jingjing shook her head, "No, I don’t want to go to the hospital..."
Bai Yiran looked at her, "You can’t go on like this; you must go to the hospital!"
Saying this, without allowing any objections, Bai Yiran pulled Wu Jingjing up. She was so weak that Bai Yiran didn’t exert much effort in lifting her.
At the hospital, the doctor said Wu Jingjing had a severe cold and it was best for her to stay in the hospital for IV treatment.
Even though Wu Jingjing was very resistant to the needle, under Bai Yiran’s persuasion and coercion, she had no choice but to comply.
Watching the medicine drip down for Wu Jingjing, Bai Yiran couldn’t help but look at the time, estimating it would take quite a while.
Not knowing when she could leave, Bai Yiran felt a sense of melancholy.
During this time, Bai Yiran had tried to contact Wu Chengzu, but the man’s phone was still off.
Bai Yiran couldn’t help but complain in her heart. Never had she seen such a father. Going off without a word, leaving the child alone at home – If she hadn’t come over, would he have let Wu Jingjing stay sick by herself at home?
Leng Yichen’s calls also went unanswered. Bai Yiran figured he was still angry and not taking her calls.
Bai Yiran felt she was truly innocent. She wanted to go out on a sweet Valentine’s Day with Leng Yichen, too, but how could she leave Wu Jingjing like this?
"Sigh..." Bai Yiran couldn’t help but sigh.
"Sister Yi Ran, do you hate me?" Wu Jingjing asked softly.
Bai Yiran’s heart sank. Wu Jingjing’s experiences were different from other children; she was quite sensitive and fragile, "No, why would you ask that?"
"Nine out of ten times I call you, you don’t pick up. I thought you hated me..." Wu Jingjing murmured, lowering her head, "I really like you, Sister Yi Ran. I don’t want you to dislike me."
Bai Yiran gently smoothed Wu Jingjing’s hair, "I don’t dislike you; it’s just that my work is quite busy."
What should Bai Yiran say? That her husband doesn’t like her father, so she needs to keep her distance?
Such words would likely be incomprehensible to Wu Jingjing.
By the time Wu Jingjing finished the IV, it was almost eight o’clock. Bai Yiran took her home, helping her onto the bed.
Wu Chengzu still hadn’t returned. Thinking Wu Jingjing must be hungry, Bai Yiran went to the kitchen to make her some porridge. Opening the fridge, it was indeed empty.
