Chapter 30: Meeting in the Hospital

Bo Shaoxiu hugged Nan Yao to his chest again after hearing her words. He rested his chin on top of her head, though his brown orbs could not help but stare at the slender woman making her way out of the hospital’s main lobby.

Her shoulders were hunched and her head remained down as she hugged her body tightly. She looked like she was crying.

Bo Shaoxiu tightened his jaw as a tight burst of pain grew in his heart. Why would the girl that he had once treasured have such a promiscuous life?

She was supposed to be the one birthing his children. Bo Shaoxiu still felt the dull hatred for her ignite when he thought about that scene from four years ago. However, where would the hate come from if there was not love? He was unable to forgive, yet could never forget her.

He had the urge to chase after her, especially after seeing the way she looked. She looked so alone.

Bo Shaoxiu forced himself to look away from that slender figure, as he tightened his embrace on Nan Yao’s shoulders.

Nan Yao gasped in pain from his hold. She looked up from his embrace. “Brother Shaoxiu, let’s go in for the check-up!”

Bo Shaoxiu looked down at Nan Yao’s lower abdomen and felt the gnawing guilt eat away at his heart. Nan Yao was the person that was the most loyal and treated him the best.

He could not let her down.

Nan Zhi turned back to look at the two intimate figures that were leaving the lobby after she had run out of the hospital. She schooled her expression back to normal and scoffed to herself.

Although Nan Yao was gentle and caring, she had always been petty and suspicious. If Bo Shaoxiu treated her any differently, there would definitely be some hiccups in the two’s lives in the future.

Nan Zhi did not have a single good memory towards Nan Weiye, Ding Shuman, Nan Yao and even for Bo Shaoxiu. Any inkling of a remotely positive impression had been shredded to pieces four years ago.

After she had left for abroad, her mother had gotten into an emergency for her illness. She approached Nan Weiye to borrow some money. He had originally agreed, but when she called him again to confirm the details, he had switched off his phone and she had never been able to contact him after.

He did not help when he could, even though he was spending her maternal grandfather and her mother’s money. Nan Zhi did not need this scum in her life. She would never forgive him.

…

Xiaojie had come out for a stroll and to get some sun, not expecting to see the scene of Nan Zhi being ‘bullied’ by Nan Yao. Xiaojie had also thought that Nan Zhi had cried from her downtrodden posture, and his pair of small straight eyebrows were furrowed together.

He was still too young now. He was only three years old, and he was sick as well. He could not stay by Pretty Zhizhi all the time to protect her.

If only he could find a strong backup for Pretty Zhizhi to rely on before he recovered.

He must find a man that was more handsome and taller than the one that had just bullied his mommy!

Auntie Zhou took Xiaojie around the garden. She looked to Xiaojie in confusion since he looked like he had the weight of the world on his tiny shoulders, asking him gently, “Young Master Xiaojie, are you missing your mommy?”

Compared to other children his age, Xiaojie was both taller and more mature than them. He was intelligent and considerate, especially when it concerned his Pretty Zhizhi.

His exquisite and child-like face would have a serious and cold expression whenever he was deep in thought, or when he was unhappy. Even Auntie Zhou felt a little fearful of him at these times.

This was probably a natural aura that he was born with.

Xiaojie shook his head slowly, then asked Auntie Zhou with his eyebrows furrowed, “Grandma Zhou, do you know who is the most handsome and tallest person in Ning City?”

Auntie Zhou was speechless.

Xiaojie thought for a while with his head tilted, as he considered Auntie Zhou’s lack of response, before he pouted with narcissism, “It is indeed rather hard to find someone more handsome than Brother Jie!”

Auntie Zhou asked, “Young Master Xiaojie, why do you want to look for the most handsome and tallest person?”

Naturally, Xiaojie would not tell Auntie Zhou that he wanted to find someone for Pretty Zhizhi to rely on! His heart would literally bleed if he were to place any random man next to Pretty Zhizhi.

However, he had no choice but to share his Pretty Zhizhi, since he could not protect her properly right now. He was still recovering.

Xiaojie’s little eyebrows twisted in concentration as his black orbs looked around. He suddenly saw a cool uncle that was standing under an old tree, talking to a doctor wearing a white gown.

Oh! It was the cool uncle that he saw at the entrance of the hotel the other day!

He was wearing a black silk shirt with a V-cut, revealing his prominent collarbones and firm chest slightly. Suit pants covered his tall legs that were the same shade as his shirt. He was dressed completely in black and looked extremely cool.

Perfect.
