After Becoming The Young Darling Of A Wealthy Family - Chapter 10
A tremor shook the depths of Cui Wangku’s heart, and she could no longer hold back her tears. The moment she lowered her head, tears and nosebleed streamed down together. She let out a sob: “I’m sorry, Auntie, I…”
“Alright now, don’t cry.”
Feng Ye pressed the call button for the doctor. Not daring to move Cui Wangku rashly, she could only use wet wipes to clean the bloodstains from her body, murmuring comfortingly: “It’s okay, Auntie doesn’t blame you. You are a good child.”
Wen Tingyin and Huo Yinli were stunned by the scene and didn’t dare to speak. The two of them stood completely still, only knowing that Cui Wangku was injured and bleeding, which looked so terrifying.
“Cui Wangku!”
Arriving even before the doctor was Cui Wangku’s mother. Her face was filled with anxiety, her hair was somewhat disheveled, and upon seeing Cui Wangku, she pulled the child directly into her embrace. Her lips quivered as she said with deep apology: “I’m so sorry, my child is disobedient and disturbed you. Did she break anything?”
By the end, Mother Cui’s tone became humble, looking at Feng Ye and Wen Si imploringly: “I am truly so sorry.”
“But Auntie, she is bleeding.”
Wen Tingyin reminded Mother Cui in a small voice, pointing at her own nose with a troubled expression: “It looks scary, you need to find a doctor.”
Huo Yinli also nodded: “Yeah, it must hurt.”
“I don’t hurt!”
Cui Wangku covered her nose, shaking her head vigorously, “It doesn’t hurt at all! Please don’t worry.”
Wen Ruanqing looked at the blood all over Cui Wangku’s hands. Pursing her lips, she lowered her head to look at her own hands, then hid inside Wen Si’s embrace out of fear, raising her hands to show Wen Si: “Dirty, dirty.”
Quick, find the big white aunties!
Every time she felt unwell, those aunties in big white coats would help check her body, even though it was painful sometimes.
Wen Si understood what Wen Ruanqing meant. She held Wen Ruanqing’s hand, lowered her head to kiss it, and then looked at Feng Ye, speaking in a warm tone: “Let the doctor handle Cui Wangku’s nosebleed first.”
Feng Ye understood Wen Si’s intention. With a light chuckle, she let the arriving doctor examine Cui Wangku first, while she asked Mother Cui to follow her outside.
“I’m so sorry, ma’am, my child is disobedient and always runs around, causing you trouble. If there’s anything she did wrong, I hope you can be magnanimous and not…”
Mother Cui’s subconscious reaction was to apologize. Thinking that Cui Wangku had done something wrong and they would have to pay compensation, she could only lower her head first to admit fault.
The more Feng Ye listened, the more she felt something was off. Interrupting the other woman, she spoke directly: “I am willing to bear all of Cui Wangku’s medical expenses. Don’t say anything more. I see that this child, Cui Wangku, shares a connection with me. My child is also sick, and doing this is a way to accumulate blessings for my own child.”
That bit of money was something Feng Ye and Wen Si could spend without a second thought.
But to Mother Cui, it was undoubtedly a dream. Covering her mouth to suppress her crying, she bowed repeatedly to Feng Ye: “I will write you an IOU. Thank you, thank you so much.”
Feng Ye smiled slightly, contacted her assistant to have them take charge of Cui Wangku’s matters, and then turned around to head straight back to the ward.
Before the hospital bed, the three children were watching Cui Wangku without blinking. Seeing the bleeding stop, they clapped their hands simultaneously with beaming faces; indeed, the world of children would cheer over such a small matter.
“Mom.”
Wen Tingyin hugged Wen Ruanqing, rubbing against her face, and looked up to ask: “When can Little Sister go home? I miss her.”
Hearing the words “go home,” Wen Ruanqing also raised her head instantly, looking at Feng Ye with anticipation, hoping she could leave the hospital the very next second.
Helplessly, Feng Ye sighed and said: “It will take a few days, dear.”
Wen Tingyin instantly wilted: “Alright then.”
Wen Ruanqing’s head also drooped as she leaned against Wen Tingyin’s chest, looking towards Huo Yinli, sniffling as she gave a sad “Mmh.”
Ugh, I want to go home.
Upon learning that Wen Ruanqing would not be going home for a few days, Huo Yinli kept thinking about giving her a gift, but having absolutely no experience in that area, she could only sit on the sofa in distress.
Seeing this, the family butler walked over to inquire: “Young Mistress, have you encountered something unpleasant?”
With a frowning face, Huo Yinli told the other person her thoughts: “What should I give to the little sister next door? She just got discharged from the hospital, I want her to be happy.”
The butler thought for a moment: “Give her toys?”
Huo Yinli rejected it immediately: “She has them.”
“Flowers?”
“She will stuff them into her mouth.”
“Then would small cookies be okay?”
Hearing this, Huo Yinli’s eyes lit up. She snapped her gaze to the butler: “That works! Does the chef at home know how to make baby cookies? I want to learn.”
The butler was somewhat astonished: “You want to make them yourself?”
Huo Yinli took it completely for granted: “Yes, of course.”
As she spoke, she walked toward the kitchen: “Chef Auntie, I want to learn how to make cookies.”
The butler was stunned, not expecting Huo Yinli to be so dedicated, but quickly snapped out of it and followed her inside: “…Please be careful.”
Bursting with energy, Huo Yinli only wanted to learn how to make cookies quickly; she wanted to give Wen Ruanqing a… surprise!
Wen Ruanqing, who was about to receive a surprise, was discharged from the hospital ahead of schedule! Sitting in the car, she could not help but swing her legs in excitement: “Mmh!”
Holding Wen Ruanqing, Wen Si smiled and said: “Look how happy you are.”
Wen Ruanqing chuckled secretly, sitting obediently in her safety seat, looking ahead with a face full of anticipation. She was going home!
Hehehe.
“When we get back, Sister will take you to play with Sister Xiao Li.”
Wen Tingyin extended a finger for Wen Ruanqing to hold. For the past two days, Huo Yinli hadn’t been to the hospital because of her classes, so she didn’t know Wen Ruanqing was coming home yet either. Thus, Wen Tingyin planned to go straight to her house to tell her.
Wen Ruanqing nodded, turning to smile at Wen Tingyin.
So, the moment she stepped out of the car, Wen Tingyin carried Wen Ruanqing and walked toward Huo Yinli’s house. Feng Ye looked at the two of them between tears and laughter, gesturing for the nanny to follow them while she and Wen Si went home first.
“Little Sister, stand down for a moment.”
With great effort, Wen Tingyin carried Wen Ruanqing to the front door of Huo Yinli’s house. She put Wen Ruanqing down, took a breath, and then stood on her tiptoes to ring the doorbell: “Ding-dong.”
Standing beside Wen Tingyin, Wen Ruanqing also mimicked: “Ding-dong.”
“Ding-dong—”
When the doorbell rang, Huo Yinli was in the middle of making cookies. Flour was all over her face, and her little expression was incomparably serious. Hearing the doorbell, she told the butler to open the door.
When the butler opened the door and saw the two little toddlers standing at the entrance, he blinked, turned back to the kitchen, and said to Huo Yinli: “Young Mistress, it seems the two young ladies from next door have come to look for you.”
Huo Yinli’s hand kneading the dough paused. She looked at the butler in disbelief—was she back today? Then wouldn’t she be unable to present the gift in time?
Huo Yinli went blank for a few seconds, but quickly composed herself. She jumped down from the small stool; her hands still had flour on them, but there was no time to wash them clean now. She planned to go find Wen Ruanqing and Wen Tingyin first: “Did Little Sister get discharged early?”
Wen Tingyin nodded: “Yes! Huh, why is your face all white?”
Wen Ruanqing tilted her head up to look at Huo Yinli, happily shaking Wen Tingyin’s hand: “Sister!”
“Little Sister.”
Huo Yinli put both hands behind her back, feeling somewhat put out: “I am making small cookies.”
Wen Tingyin cried out in surprise: “Small cookies? Are they made yet?”
“No.” Huo Yinli lowered her head in disappointment, “I haven’t succeeded yet.”
“Ah…” Wen Tingyin thought for a moment and proposed a suggestion: “Then let’s make them together! I haven’t made them either.”
Huo Yinli considered it, then nodded in agreement: “Okay. Originally I was making them for Little Sister to eat, but it’s too late now.”
She walked in front of Wen Ruanqing. Just as she was about to speak, she saw Wen Ruanqing curl her lips into a smile at her, and then raise both hands, saying loudly: “Hug.”
Hurry up and hug me.
Fafa.
