Chapter 808: Chapter 808: If You Don’t Want To, No One’s Forcing You
Chi Yue looked at him in horror, her face gradually growing hot and red.
“Is it okay?” he asked again.
Chi Yue took a deep breath and held his hand, “Mianmian is still waiting for us at the hospital.”
“I’ll be quick.”
Chi Yue: “…”
Half an hour later, Chi Yue truly regretted believing his words. Despite his age, he still acted like a reckless youth.
Finally, an hour later, the two appeared in Fu Mianmian’s hospital room.
Zhan Qing and his family of three were still there. Fu Mianmian was awake and chatting with Zhan Mobai, both laughing from time to time.
The atmosphere between Zhan Qing and Lin Wanyun wasn’t as pleasant. One sat lazily by the bedside while the other sat upright on the sofa, smiling.
As soon as Chi Yue came in, Lin Wanyun breathed a sigh of relief and walked up to her, “Is everything taken care of?”
“Yes, all done.”
“Alright, then we’ll be leaving, we have some things to handle.”
Chi Yue nodded, “Thanks for your help, I’ll invite you for a meal next time.”
Lin Wanyun smiled, “Once Mianmian is discharged, I’ll visit your home.”
As they agreed, Lin Wanyun called Zhan Mobai, and just as they were about to leave, Zhan Qing stood up, maintaining his casual demeanor but quickly caught up with his wife and child in two or three steps.
As he passed by Fu Rongyin, he whispered in a voice only they could hear, “Had enough to eat and drink?”
Fu Rongyin glanced at him indifferently, the corner of his mouth carrying a barely discernible smile, with an expression of “If you can, you should,” which made Zhan Qing scowl.
He didn’t say anything and strode away.
Lin Wanyun took Zhan Mobai into the elevator, with Zhan Qing following closely behind.
As the elevator doors closed, Lin Wanyun said softly, “You don’t have to see us off, we’re just going back to the hotel.”
“I’ll see you off.”
Lin Wanyun politely declined, “No need, we’ll just take a cab.”
Zhan Qing looked at her with furrowed brows, “I can’t even see my own son off?”
Zhan Mobai’s attention had never been on his parents. When he heard Zhan Qing mention him, he lifted his eyelids but seeing that their attention wasn’t on him, he returned his gaze, continuing to think about his own matters.
In the past, every mention of the child allowed Zhan Qing to get by, but today it was clearly impossible.
“Zhan Qing, if you don’t want to, no one’s forcing you.”
Zhan Qing remained silent, his face tense, not knowing what he was thinking.
Lin Wanyun knew Zhan Qing had a bad temper and usually went along with him, but as time went on, she grew tired, especially with the agreement about to expire, she lost her patience.
But to her surprise, when they exited the elevator, Zhan Qing adjusted again. He stepped out ahead of them, “My car is parked outside, let’s go.”
Lin Wanyun hesitated in her steps, and Zhan Mobai stopped along with her, “Mommy?”
Lin Wanyun sighed silently, “Let’s go.”
The family of three didn’t communicate along the way, yet the atmosphere was oddly harmonious.
At the hotel, Zhan Mobai fell asleep.
After his last illness, his immune system wasn’t great, coupled with the weather, he slept relatively often.
Lin Wanyun wanted to carry him, but Zhan Qing moved faster.
Lin Wanyun tried to take Zhan Mobai in her arms but was glared back by Zhan Qing, “Lin Wanyun, do you want to make things difficult for me?”
Lin Wanyun retracted her half-extended hand, “Sorry, it’s a habit.”
As soon as she finished speaking, she noticed Zhan Qing’s face turn colder. Although she didn’t know why, she knew if she continued speaking, Zhan Qing would certainly lose his temper.
So, she had no choice but to lead Zhan Qing to the hotel room.
