Wen Xiaochu said, "So what do you plan to do with that child? Do you plan to officially adopt her?" Xia Yangyang nodded, "I will adopt her, treat her like my own child. Once she is a bit better, I’ll start the adoption procedures." Wen Xiaochu was silent for a moment, "That sounds good, Xia Ye will have a companion, and Xingxing has always been very close to Xia Ye." Wen Quan, nearby, seemed to have caught onto a keyword from the conversation. He suddenly looked up from eating his burger. Wen Quan said, "Where is Yinxing, is she here too? Can I see her?" Xia Yangyang was slightly surprised. Wen Xiaochu explained, "This boy of mine stayed at your house before, became friends with your son and Xingxing, they got along well. Even while we were in Japan, he kept talking about how the first thing he wanted to do when we returned to China was to visit Xingxing in Beijing. But because of some delays, we couldn’t make it, and he has been upset with me these past few days. We didn’t expect Xingxing to be here." Xia Yangyang felt that fate worked in mysterious ways. She realized she already knew the child well. Xia Yangyang said earnestly to Wen Quan, "Xingxing is sick now and hospitalized. Once she’s better, you can play with her, okay?" Wen Quan looked very worried, "What’s wrong with Xingxing? Can I visit her?" Xia Yangyang said, "In a couple of days, okay? Right now, she needs quiet and rest." "Alright." Wen Quan looked rather disappointed. Xia Yangyang suddenly remembered she saw Wen Xiaochu at the hospital entrance, so she asked, "What are you doing at the hospital, are you sick?" Before Wen Xiaochu could speak, Wen Quan chimed in, "My mom is starting work here next week!" Wen Xiaochu said, "I used to work at Jingci Hospital, but now I’ve been transferred here. I’m in the cardiac surgery department." Xia Yangyang said, "I remember in high school, when the teacher asked us to fill out our aspirations, you said you wanted to be a cardiac surgeon. I never thought you would actually achieve your dream, Xiao Chu. I really envy you for creating the life you wanted, step by step, while I can’t even remember anything." Wen Xiaochu felt a bit distressed hearing Xia Yangyang’s words. But now was not the time to explain further. Xia Yangyang still had to deliver dinner to Xingxing. They chatted for a while, then she bought some fries and left. Original content can be found at novᴇlfire.net When Xia Yangyang arrived. Gu Qichen had also picked Xia Ye up from school. Xia Yangyang went in with the fries. Unfortunately, Xingxing had fallen asleep again. She opened the fries for herself, ate a bit, and then offered them to Gu Qichen, "Are you hungry? Want some?" Gu Qichen shook his head, "Let’s go back to Gu Garden tonight." They hadn’t been back in a while. Actually, Xia Yangyang knew that when she was ill, both Gu Mingzhu and the old man had visited her. The old man really seemed much older now. She felt sorry for letting him travel all the way. And Gu Mingzhu was genuinely worried about her. There were caregivers looking after Xingxing. So that night, the three of them drove to Gu Garden. Gu Garden was still brightly lit. There weren’t many people in Gu Garden. But because Gu Mingzhu liked the brightness. So whenever Gu Mingzhu was at home, even if there was no one in the room, every room in Gu Garden was always a scene of dazzling lights.
