Chapter 409 - 402: Warmth
When Wu Chengzu returned home, it was almost ten o’clock. As soon as he entered, he keenly noticed there was a stranger in the house, and a sharp cold light immediately appeared in his eyes.
"Mmm~"
A soft moan from a woman came from the sofa, catching his attention. He changed his shoes and slowly approached the sofa.
When he saw the person on the sofa, Wu Chengzu’s deep eyes suddenly brightened.
Bai Yiran was curled up like a kitten on the sofa, seemingly uncomfortable, adjusting her position from time to time.
Seeing this scene, Wu Chengzu felt as if his heart was being gently stroked by a soft little hand, warm and comfortable.
Seemingly sensing someone’s gaze, Bai Yiran suddenly woke up and looked up to see Wu Chengzu standing in front of the sofa.
"I’m sorry, I startled you," Wu Chengzu said in a gentle voice, with a smile on his face.
"Oh..." Bai Yiran felt a bit awkward; she had been so sleepy earlier that she didn’t know when she had fallen asleep. "Where did you go? Jingjing has been sick, and we couldn’t reach you. You’re not a responsible father at all."
Upon hearing that his daughter was sick, Wu Chengzu immediately turned and went into Wu Jingjing’s room.
Inside the room, Wu Jingjing was already asleep, looking unwell. A fever-reducing patch was on her forehead, and medicine from the hospital was set on the bedside table.
"Jingjing has a severe cold with fever. Unable to contact you, they reached out to me. She’s already been to the hospital for an IV. These are the medicines prescribed by the doctor. I’ve written down how to take them. Remember to give them to her on time."
Wu Chengzu looked at Wu Jingjing with concern, quietly listening to Bai Yiran speak.
"You must remember, you are not alone now; you have a child. If you have work to do, plan ahead for Jingjing, or you could hire a nanny; it’s better than leaving Jingjing at home alone."
Wu Chengzu’s eyes fell on Bai Yiran. Listening to her scolding and lectures, he felt an unprecedented warmth rise in his heart.
"Since you’re back, I’ll leave now." Bai Yiran didn’t want to stay any longer; she wanted to return soon to comfort Leng Yichen.
Suddenly, she found that men being petty could indeed be a frightening thing...
Bai Yiran glanced at the time and couldn’t help frowning; it was already so late.
"Let me take you home then. It’s late, and it’s not safe for a woman alone," Wu Chengzu said.
Bai Yiran shot him a glance, thinking to herself, "You know it’s late? If it weren’t for you, I should be enjoying a romantic evening with Leng Yichen by now."
Just as she was about to decline Wu Chengzu’s offer, Bai Yiran’s phone rang; it was a call from Leng Yichen.
"Hello!" Bai Yiran quickly answered the call. Leng Yichen hadn’t been picking up her calls all evening, and now that he was calling, she naturally wanted to answer.
"I’m downstairs. Come down," Leng Yichen’s voice was cold, still sounding angry.
"Oh, okay!"
Hanging up the phone, Bai Yiran said to Wu Chengzu, "My husband is here to pick me up, just downstairs."
Wu Chengzu’s brow furrowed imperceptibly, but he still smiled, "Okay, then I’ll walk you downstairs."
Bai Yiran initially wanted to refuse, but Wu Chengzu had already changed his shoes and was standing at the door.
The two went downstairs, and sure enough, Leng Yichen’s car was waiting there, headlights blazing.
Leng Yichen stood in the light’s shadow, his figure tall and straight, but his expression was unclear.
As they approached, his stern face became visible.
Seeing Bai Yiran and Wu Chengzu behind her, Leng Yichen’s face darkened even more. He stepped forward and pulled Bai Yiran into his arms.
