Chapter 168 I will think about it carefully
An Xiaoyue stared through the glass at Ji Yubai, who was laughing carefree in the intensive care unit.
She felt a tightness in her chest.
She was an only child, and Ji Yubai was an only son; An Xiaoyue couldn't help but think of their good fortune.
She clenched her fists and made a decision in her heart.
Just then, her phone vibrated in her bag.
It was Zhong Lingxi calling. She answered it.
"We're in the intensive care unit of the gastroenterology department. Take the elevator to the ninth floor and look for us."
The hospital was too big and had too many elevators, so An Xiaoyue could only tell Lingxi her location and ask her to come find her.
Fu Shengyang glanced at the person lying on the hospital bed receiving an IV drip. Everyone was worried about him, but he seemed indifferent.
He said angrily, "Don't let Ji Yubai see Attorney Zhong, otherwise he'll think he's gotten away with something, and he'll be so smug!"
An Xiaoyue smiled, realizing that Fu Shengyang and she were thinking the same thing.
After taking her graduation photos at school, Zhong Lingxi took a taxi directly over. Following the address given by An Xiaoyue and the directions on the hospital floor, she easily found An Xiaoyue.
After more than two months apart, Xiaoyue's pregnancy is already very obvious.
She wore a short-sleeved, knee-length dress, her two slender legs supporting her body.
Instantly, Zhong Lingxi's eyes welled up with tears; being a mother is truly not easy.
"Little Moon."
The fair-skinned beauty looked at her, and when she smiled, her eyes and brows showed a hint of joy.
"Lingxi." An Xiaoyue put her index finger to her lips, signaling her to be quiet.
Zhong Lingxi immediately fell silent, and asked her in confusion: What's wrong?
An Xiaoyue walked to a place where Ji Yubai couldn't see her. "Sheng Yang and I both think that we shouldn't let President Ji see how good you are now. We should take care of him after he's transferred to a regular ward."
Zhong Lingxi: "Why?"
An Xiaoyue: "He thinks it's great to be sick. Next time he wants to see you, he'll definitely pretend to be sick. You don't know, his parents stayed up all night last night. The two old folks are only getting some rest now. We only found out about his emergency treatment last night when President Ji's mother went to Fu Garden today."
Zhong Ling thought for a moment, then, convinced, "With his brains, this is really the only way he can see me. I'll do as you say. But..."
Zhong Lingxi raised a delicate eyebrow, shifting the gossip to An Xiaoyue, "What did you call the president?"
An Xiaoyue tilted her head to one side, not wanting to pay attention to her.
"Hmph~ You heard it all, why are you still asking?"
Lingxi, like everyone else, liked to tease her.
Zhong Lingxi held her hand, genuinely happy for Xiaoyue.
"I'm finally relieved that you're living as comfortably as before."
These words sounded so mature, and An Xiaoyue teased her, "You're not that old, yet you speak so sagely."
An Xiaoyue noticed that Lingxi had undergone obvious changes after not seeing her for more than two months.
She wore a light blue silk shirt, white loose-fitting suit trousers, and nude low-heeled shoes.
Her attire increasingly exudes the composure and elegance of a working woman.
The once energetic and impulsive Zhong Lingxi has become a reliable lawyer.
“You are slowly becoming the person you want to be, and as your best friend, I feel very proud.” An Xiaoyue felt honored.
Zhong Lingxi was touched, and seeing her abdomen, she felt a pang of heartache. "Pregnancy must be very hard."
An Xiaoyue grinned mischievously and reached out to pinch her cheek.
Caught off guard, Zhong Lingxi hissed in pain, gasped for breath, and forced back the tears in her eyes.
"Don't worry, I'm not having a hard time, it just looks a bit big."
Zhong Ling pouted, "You still have the energy to bully me? What a waste of my heartache and tears for you just now."
The two sisters laughed and joked for a while, their close relationship returning to normal.
Fu Shengyang remained seated until the two sisters finished catching up, at which point he came over to interrupt them.
"It's almost time, I'll go buy some lunch."
"I'll go, I'm not tired," Zhong Ling said happily. How could she let the CEO buy her food?
Zhong Lingxi spoke quickly without thinking, and An Xiaoyue smoothed things over by saying:
“I have something to tell you. Let him go. He knows your aunt and uncle’s tastes. Buy more of what they like to eat. They probably haven’t had a proper breakfast.”
Zhong Lingxi clenched her fingers shyly, having forgotten about Ji Yubai's parents.
"Wait for me here. I'll go to the ward to call your parents after I buy it," Fu Shengyang said before leaving.
Only then did An Xiaoyue have time to tell Zhong Lingxi in detail what Aunt Ji had said at Fu Garden that day.
After listening, Zhong Lingxi remained silent for a long time.
She's someone who comes when called and leaves when dismissed; she's someone else's precious treasure.
"The mother said those things because she cared too much."
Zhong Lingxi tilted her head and could see the monitoring instruments, the emergency cart, and a bunch of emergency equipment she couldn't name placed next to Ji Yubai's bed.
"Xiaoyue, I will think about it carefully."
Upon hearing this, alarm bells rang in An Xiaoyue's mind, and she suddenly thought of Fu Wantang and Jiang Mianzhi.
She quickly dissuaded Zhong Lingxi from her idea, "You should think about it, but you can't be soft-hearted. You can't choose to be with Ji Yubai just because you feel guilty. It's not fair to you or him."
Zhong Lingxi: "I know, I'm a lawyer, I'm never an emotional person, Xiaoyue, don't worry."
Having said all that, Zhong Lingxi said no more to An Xiaoyue.
Lingxi always considers things in a logical and methodical way, and she knows very well what she wants.
"What are your relationships with patient Ji Yubai?" The nurse approached with three intern nurses.
“Friend,” An Xiaoyue replied, “His parents are catching up on sleep in the hospital room. Is there anything I can help them with?”
The nurse informed us, "We are now transferring him to a regular ward."
The nurse looked at the two of them and pointed at Zhong Lingxi, saying, "Go to the ward and get ready."
"Okay." After confirming the ward, Zhong Lingxi obediently went to the ward.
An Xiaoyue asked the nurse, "What do I need to do?"
Nurse: "Just follow us."
An Xiaoyue nodded silently.
Zhong Lingxi rushed to the ward excitedly, but when she stood at the door, she was in a dilemma.
Ji Yubai's mother doesn't like her anyway. If she knocks on the door abruptly, will she get scolded?
She couldn't just not go in and inform Ji's parents.
Fine, she won't admit she's the person Ji Yubai likes; she'll just say she's Xiaoyue's friend who came to help.
"Boom, boom, boom~"
She knocked on the door very politely.
The person inside responded hastily, "Coming."
