CHAPTER 300: CHAPTER 300: FALLING ASLEEP TO HIS VOICE

Yue Wenwen pretended to be nonchalant as she turned around and left, then caught a bus, only to see those two people also got on.

Yue Wenwen looked at the two sitting a bit away from her, thinking that she really was oblivious before!

These two people were following her every day, and she hadn’t even noticed!

But if her sister hadn’t mentioned it today, she wouldn’t have noticed either; she’d just think they happened to take the same bus!

After arriving at her residence by bus, Yue Wenwen got off and specially looked around to see where those two were. But she didn’t see them, huh? Where did they go?

Feeling puzzled, Yue Wenwen went upstairs.

The encounter with these two people stimulated her, and Yue Wenwen now felt particularly energetic, not tired at all. After returning to her single apartment, she immediately called Hua Xiaochun.

This single apartment was rented by Yue Wenwen after graduation, not too close nor too far from the hospital.

Too close, the rent was too expensive, she couldn’t afford it. Too far, it was inconvenient for work, so she settled in between.

Ever since the incident with Gu Zhiyuan happened, Yue Wenwen’s relationship with her family was completely severed; she didn’t take a penny from them, and usually didn’t keep in touch.

It’s not that Yue Wenwen didn’t want to keep in touch, but whenever she called home, her mother never answered, her father initially did, but after the Yue Family’s business declined, he started to blame Yue Wenwen and stopped taking her calls.

Now the only one in the Yue Family still in contact with Yue Wenwen is Yue Wenjie.

But Yue Wenjie is a bookworm, only knows how to bury his head in books, so he’s not clear about the family business and all these matters.

The call went through, but no one answered. This time, Hua Xiaochun was busy right after starting work.

When she finished and saw Yue Wenwen’s missed call, Hua Xiaochun thought Yue Wenwen must be asleep by then, so she didn’t call back.

As a result, Yue Wenwen waited and waited; she was so tired that she could only curse Hua Xiaochun in her heart before sleep overcame her.

Xiao Li returned home and freshened up. She was clearly tired, yet couldn’t fall asleep.

She’s alone at home now; Qin Xiao and the child aren’t there, and everything feels empty.

Lying on the bed, Xiao Li sent a message to Qin Xiao, telling him she was home and going to sleep.

When Qin Xiao saw the message, he called her back.

Upon seeing his call, Xiao Li smiled happily, "Uncle, you’re not busy now?"

"Hmm, not busy now, only going to inspect the equipment later. Are you tired?" Qin Xiao asked softly.

Xiao Li whined, "Tired! But you’re not here, and I can’t sleep."

Qin Xiao chuckled lightly, "Same here, didn’t sleep well last night.

Nini, I’ll talk while you listen, close your eyes and don’t speak, listen to my voice and fall asleep, as if I’m right beside you, okay?"

"Okay..." Xiao Li responded as she closed her eyes.

She drifted to sleep with Qin Xiao’s voice as a lullaby.

When assured Xiao Li was asleep, Qin Xiao hung up the call, checked the time, and set off to Woer Company to inspect the equipment.

Slept soundly; when Xiao Li woke up again, it was completely dark outside.

Getting up, Xiao Li went downstairs. When Aunt Wu saw her coming down, she said, "Madam, would you like dinner now?"

Xiao Li nodded, "Yes."

Sitting at the dining table, Xiao Li suddenly felt it was a bit too large.

Xiao Li took out her phone and sent a message to Qin Xiao. Seeing he hadn’t replied, she sent Mianmian a video.

In the video, Mianmian and others were also eating, "Mommy."

Xiao Li responded, and greeted Qin’s father and mother in the video with "Dad, Mom."

"Mianmian, you all are eating too! Just right, I’m about to eat as well, was just thinking it’s boring to eat alone, now seeing you all eat together, I can eat more heartily."

"Where’s Daddy?" Mianmian asked.

"On a business trip!"

Aunt Wu brought the food over, Xiao Li picked it up, and ate together through the video with Qin’s father and the kids.

After dinner, Xiao Li kept chatting with the kids, until Qin Xiao’s video came through, and she ended the chat with the kids to chat with Qin Xiao.

The two chatted all the way till it was one in the morning for Qin Xiao, Xiao Li had to enforce stopping, otherwise, Qin Xiao would keep chatting!

It was one in the morning for Qin Xiao, while it was still early for Xiao Li, only eight o’clock. Having slept too much during the day, she couldn’t sleep at night, and since Qin Xiao wasn’t there, Xiao Li felt especially bored.

Last night on hospital duty, though busy, time passed well; now being idle tonight, she felt worse, missing Qin Xiao painfully.

In the single apartment, Yue Wenwen was angrily cursing, "Hua Xiaochun, what do you mean by this? Why aren’t you answering my calls or calling back?"

Hua Xiaochun rubbed her nose, "I was making rounds when you called. Afterward, I saw it was late, and thought you’d be asleep, so I didn’t call back, afraid of disturbing you!"

"Humph, do you know I had something to tell you, waited for your call until it was really late!" Yue Wenwen fumed.

"What is it? Tell me now!" Hua Xiaochun pulled her to sit beside her.

Yue Wenwen initially wanted to hold off a bit more, but she’d been holding it in since this morning, itching to say it, and just went with the flow.

"Xiachun, did you know my sister originally had people protect me..."

Yue Wenwen recounted the events from this morning, and Hua Xiaochun listened, her eyebrows slightly furrowed.

When Yue Wenwen finished, Hua Xiaochun laughed slightly, "Before I told you, you surely didn’t realize someone was following you, huh!"

Hua Xiaochun nodded in agreement, "Sure enough, didn’t notice."

The next day, Hua Xiaochun and Yue Wenwen went to work at the hospital together. When they met Xiao Li at the inpatient department elevator on the first floor, Hua Xiaochun said to Yue Wenwen, "Wenwen, you go up first! I’ll say a few words to Doctor Xiao."

"What are you talking about? Can’t I hear?" Yue Wenwen asked perplexedly.

Hua Xiaochun smiled and ushered her into the elevator, "Just a quick chat, will only take a moment, you go ahead up!"

Once the elevator doors closed, Hua Xiaochun then looked at Xiao Li, "Doctor Xiao, may we talk privately?"

Xiao Li raised her eyebrows, she roughly guessed what Hua Xiaochun wanted to say.

"Doctor Xiao, yesterday Wenwen told me about you sending people to protect her, she thought they were originally there, but I know they’re new. Is that right?

Did something happen?"

Hua Xiaochun, unlike Yue Wenwen, knew the protectors certainly weren’t there before.

If they were sent earlier, why didn’t Xiao Li mention it before? Why mention it now?

Moreover, during this morning’s bus ride, Yue Wenwen pointed those two out to him, he was sure he hadn’t seen them before!

Xiao Li nodded, "Something happened."
