Just as Liang Huizhen opened her mouth, Xu Zhenning's voice sounded behind her: "Uncle, Second Aunt, how is my father doing?"

"Is Zhen Ning here?" Xu Ruiling saw Xu Zhen Ning sitting in a wheelchair and her attention was diverted.

Xu Zhenning looked at the ward, with worry on her face: "The doctor said Dad has a gastric ulcer. Is it serious?"

"Don't worry, we are here. It hasn't been long since you finished the operation. Go back and rest." Xu Jingwen's face softened when he saw how filial she was.

Xu Zhenning's eyes fell on Liang Huizhen: "Auntie——"

Liang Huizhen had a cold face, without even looking at Xu Zhenning, she pushed open the ward door and went in, closing the door tightly.

Xu Ruiling looked at her eldest brother in confusion: "What's going on, sister-in-law?"

Xu Jingwen also noticed the instant change in his wife's mood, but he couldn't explain the reason. He said to Xu Ruiling: "Send Zhen Ning back to the ward first."

"Okay." Xu Ruiling nodded, looking at the thin-faced Xu Zhenning, and thinking of Bai Xiao flying to Las Vegas, she couldn't help but frown.

——————————

Xu Zhenning was pushed back to her ward, and Xu Ruiling comforted her a few words. After Xu Ruiling left, her tense nerves relaxed.

She just saw that Liang Huizhen didn't reveal everything. On the one hand, she was secretly lucky, but on the other hand, she was even more uneasy. If Xu Jingyan hadn't suddenly vomited blood and fainted that night, who knows what would have happened now, and Liang

Huizhen hesitated to say anything, fearing that it would further irritate the sick Xu Jingyan.

Xu Zhenning had lived for twenty-nine years and had never felt so uneasy. She could see that it was a certainty that the Xu family wanted to recognize Bai Xiao.

Otherwise, after Xu Jingyan's accident, why would he call and try every means to get Bai Xiao to come to the capital? Isn't it just to see Xu Jingyan who fell ill?

If Bai Xiao comes back, then who does Xu Zhenning mean to her?

The door to the ward suddenly opened with a creak. Xu Zhenning was startled and turned around suddenly: "Who?"

When she used the faint light to see clearly the person walking in, Xu Zhenning couldn't help shouting: "Mom, are you awake?"

…

Xia Lan's head was hit in a car accident and she needed many stitches. As a result, her hair was shaved and wrapped in gauze, which made her look a bit ferocious.

"Mom!" Xu Zhenning cried with joy, like a helpless duckweed who had found support.

Xia Lan's face was pale and expressionless. She went over and gave Xu Zhenning a hard slap in the face: "Who asked you to tell your father those things on your own? Do you think you haven't caused enough trouble? Don't you?

Aren't you willing to force yourself out of the Xu family?"

"I didn't..." Xu Zhenning covered her face and cried bitterly: "My eldest aunt said she wanted to tell her family what she heard. I was afraid, so -"

"So you are messing up your own position and not bringing it upon yourself?"

Xu Zhenning cried, feeling aggrieved: "If the doctor hadn't said you would be in a coma, I wouldn't have said those words to Dad."

Xia Lan closed her eyes and took a deep breath. She blamed Xu Zhenning for this, but she also blamed herself for panicking at the time. When Liang Huizhen heard about it, if she could have been calmer, she would have refused to admit it and just said it was Xu Zhenning's nonsense.

Badao, then the matter would not have reached this level.

"Mom, what should we do now?" Xu Zhenning wiped away her tears and said in a panic: "Auntie knows everything, and she even told dad."

"I suddenly regretted my decision back then. Why did I give birth to you?"

The situation?"

Xu Zhenning panicked. She didn't know what Xia Lan meant when she said this. She sobbed softly: "Mom, I know I was wrong."

"It's too late now that I know I was wrong."

Xu Zhenning shook her head. She had already lost one leg and could not lose more: "Mom——"

"Change your clothes and follow me back to the compound."

Xu Zhenning didn't understand what Xia Lan meant.

If you want to say it, it only works if someone wants to listen."

"Mom, what do you mean-"

Xia Lan glanced at her and said, "Come with me to see your grandpa and explain the matter from beginning to end in front of him."

——————————

Bai Xiao has been in Las Vegas for a week. Yu Shaoting is busy with work and socializing, but no matter how late he is busy every day, he will go home.

In the first two days, Yu Jingxi hugged the quilt and euphemistically called it: chatting with the lonely expectant mother before going to bed.

Later, I discovered that Yu Shaoting only came back at midnight every day, and the little guy gradually became more courageous. On the third night, he just stayed next to Bai Xiao and did not go back to the room.

Every time Yu Shaoting returned to the room, Bai Xiao would wake up and see his figure in a daze, as if he felt at ease, so he closed his eyes and slept until dawn.

On the morning of the eighth day, Bai Xiao opened her eyes, reached out and touched the side, and touched the warm man's body.

She turned around and faced Yu Shaoting. He was still sleeping with his eyes closed, and there was green stubble on his chin. He was probably tired from the past few days and slept deeply.

Bai Xiao stretched out her hand to touch his face, but was afraid of waking her up. When she took her hand back, she accidentally touched the child sleeping on the other side of her with her elbow.

Yu Jingxi rubbed his eyes, his face wrinkled, and he stretched. Bai Xiao quickly patted his chest gently, but Yu Jingxi opened his eyes: "Xiao Bai..."

"Are you awake?" Bai Xiao smoothed the hair from his forehead and asked him softly: "Do you want to sleep a little longer?"

Yu Jingxi turned his head, looked at the window, rubbed his eyes vigorously a few times, and sat up: "I'm not going to sleep anymore." He said and looked to the other side of the bed.

"Why hasn't dad left today?" In the past few days, he hadn't seen Yu Shaoting when he woke up.

Bai Xiao made a 'shush' gesture: "Your dad has been working too hard these days. Don't disturb him. Let's get up first and make breakfast before calling him."

Yu Jingxi nodded in cooperation and did not reach out to touch the sleeping man.

Bai Xiao let him get down first, and then he got up gently. For fear of disturbing Yu Shaoting, he even went to the private bathroom to brush his teeth and wash his face.

…

Yu Shaoting woke up and found that he was the only one on the bed. He went to the bathroom to take a shower, put on his home clothes and went downstairs.

When he saw Bai Xiao coming out of the kitchen with a plate, he felt inexplicably good: "Where's Anna?"

Anna is the Filipino maid in the family.

"I gave her a day off." Bai Xiao put down the plate, stretched out her hand, and turned over the collar of his T-shirt: "You sit down for a while, she'll be fine soon."

There was a height difference between the two. Yu Shaoting looked down at her without saying a word, but when she turned to go back to the kitchen, he pulled her over and kissed her.

Bai Xiao was shaken by his sudden movement and subconsciously held his waist.

After kissing him passively for a while, her cheeks turned red and she pushed him away slightly: "I'm making soup."

Yu Shaoting hugged her without letting go, resting his chin on her neck, deliberately rubbing her delicate skin, and asked her in a low voice: "Why do you get up so early?"

There was stubble on his chin again. Bai Xiao was ticklish and laughed: "Do you think everyone is like you and rests so late?"

With that said, she pulled away his hand: "I'm going to take a look at the soup."

As soon as Bai Xiao entered the kitchen, he saw that Yu Jingxi had made a small bench from somewhere and was standing on the bench, stirring the soup with a small spoon.

"Dad, are you awake?" Yu Jingxi turned his head, his big black eyes were particularly pleasing.

Bai Xiao was afraid that he would stain his clothes, so he specially tied an apron for him. Seeing that he was too close to the pot of hot soup, he asked him to come down: "Be careful of getting burned."

"It's okay, I'll just keep an eye on it, and you can do your work." After the little guy finished speaking, he lowered his head to stir the pot of soup.

Bai Xiao watched for a while to make sure he wouldn't spill the soup, then walked to the sink to clean it up.

Yu Jingxi turned his head and glanced at Bai Xiao, who had her back turned to him. Seeing that she wasn't looking at him, he secretly scooped up a spoonful of soup, blew on it, took another sip, rolled his eyes, and smiled triumphantly. As a result, he turned his head

, I saw Yu Shaoting leaning against the door with his hands folded across his chest at some point: "Dad, why did you come in?"

"I just tried the saltiness of the soup and found it just right. I plan to tell Xiaobai."

When Bai Xiao heard this, he turned around and saw that Yu Shaoting had already come in. He went over to turn off the fire, glanced sideways at Yu Jingxi, and said to Bai Xiao: "You just cooked so much soup?"

"What?" Bai Xiao didn't understand.

Yu Shaoting took a soup bowl and poured the soup out of the pot. Bai Xiao discovered that the soup in a large pot turned into a small bowl.

She didn't think about Yu Jingxi for a moment: "How could this happen?"

Yu Jingxi held a small spoon and her eyes flickered: "I want to pee and go to the bathroom."

Bai Xiao was about to check if the bottom of the pot was leaking. Yu Shaoting held her in his arms: "I told you, that kid is just a white-eyed wolf."

"..." When he said this, she immediately understood what was going on.

"You are so stupid that even if you are sold later, you will still count the money for him."

"That's what I do willingly. The worst thing is, you can buy me back when the time comes, Mr. Yu."

Her voice tended to be soft and gentle like that of a Jiangnan woman, especially when she called him "Mr. Yu", she had a special interest and a hint of coquettish anger.

Yu Shaoting took her shoulder and looked at her with a half-smile: "Willingly? Why don't you ask me if I am willing to buy you back?"

"Don't want to?"

Yu Shaoting pursed his thin lips and smiled without saying a word.

Bai Xiao took the initiative to rest her head on his shoulder, put her hands against his shoulder blades, and hugged him: "What kind of beauty does Mr. Yu want to buy?"

Yu Shaoting hugged her back. From the strength of his hug, she clearly felt that he cared about her. She pressed against his chest, listened to his steady heartbeat, and his magnetic voice brushed against her ears.
