Chapter 576: Chapter 576: Even Jealous of Her Daughter

Li Huan’s eyes widened, struggling to comprehend for a long while.

He truly admires the Gong siblings’ way of thinking.

They always assume ulterior motives when someone treats them kindly.

His eyes showed a glimmer of water, blinking twice, and stood upright immediately.

“You’re my patient.”

“You, you should rest, and tell Third Young Master to quickly promote me.”

“I’m leaving, leaving now.”

Li Huan turned around and took two steps, crashing into the door with a thud.

He cursed under his breath and left quickly.

Ren Xiya eyed the disappearing figure and raised her eyebrows with a smile.

Li Huan’s personality is quite amusing, akin to a show-off.

He can make patients relax the fastest, even she feels at ease around him.

This also causes everyone to overlook his looks.

He has nothing to do with handsome but is purely attractive.

Very attractive, mature yet sunny.

With the white coat, his aura is remarkable.

He clearly is a child carefully groomed by his family.

In families like his, even if the family is no longer what it was, the rules are suffocating.

Ren Xiya took a deep breath, tossed the IV bag behind her waist and the cake on the table into the trash can.

She drank a mouthful of hot water and went to sleep.

…

Lin Zhiyi and Gong Chen only got home at dawn.

After showering, she fell asleep on the bed, the man behind her naturally snuggled closer.

Half-asleep, she pushed him twice: “I’m exhausted.”

“Warming your bed.” The man whispered in her ear.

“Mm.”

Lin Zhiyi slept soundly in his arms, no longer fearing cold hands and feet in winter.

Perhaps due to improved sleep quality, she woke up early the next day.

She not only made breakfast but also prepared some food for Ren Xiya, and brewed a pot of brown sugar water.

When Liao Yi came out of the guest room, she stretched lazily.

“Zhiyi, why are you up so early?”

“I have an appointment with the designer to measure dimensions at the studio today, then I have to visit Miss Ren,” Lin Zhiyi explained as she busied herself.

Liao Yi reached out and took the plate from her hands: “I’ll do it, you take a break.”

Soon, breakfast was served.

Gong Chen also came out of the children’s room holding a human-shaped pendant.

Xingxing reached out for Lin Zhiyi to pick her up.

Lin Zhiyi took her and kissed her cheek.

“Mom’s taking you today.”

Gong Chen interrupted: “You have things to do, it’s inconvenient, I can take care of the child.”

Liao Yi put down the bowl and shook her head.

“No need, Xingxing and I already agreed to go to the art museum today, you guys just focus on your work, since I’ve taken money, I’ll definitely take care of Xingxing.”

Lin Zhiyi hesitated.

Since returning to Jing City, her time with Xingxing has noticeably decreased, worried Xingxing might feel sad.

But Xingxing considerately touched Lin Zhiyi’s cheek.

“Mom, didn’t you say you wanted to realize your dreams? I support you.”

Hearing this, Lin Zhiyi seemed to see Xingxing from her past life leaning in her arms.

Until her death, Xingxing always encouraged her not to give up her dreams.

In this life, every time Xingxing sees her designing jewelry, regardless of quality, she is the biggest supporter.

Sometimes, Lin Zhiyi feels that whether in the past or this life, Xingxing seems to be here to save her.

“Thank you, Xingxing.”

Lin Zhiyi kissed Xingxing’s cheek several times.

Xingxing giggled endlessly.

“I support you too, Designer Lin.”

Gong Chen handed milk to the mother and daughter, looking at Lin Zhiyi eagerly, implying something.

Lin Zhiyi glared at him, noticed Liao Yi and Xingxing watching them, and raised the milk to cover.

Liao Yi stifled a laugh: “Don’t worry, nobody knows me, strolling around with Xingxing is unlikely to draw attention.”

That’s actually true.

Gong Chen nodded: “It’s almost the end of the year, I’ll give you a bonus.”

“Thank you, Third Young Master!”

After breakfast, Gong Chen called over bodyguards to protect Liao Yi and Xingxing covertly.

He then took Lin Zhiyi to the hospital.

…

At the hospital.

When getting off, Lin Zhiyi hadn’t even stepped out when Gong Chen pulled her back.

“Designer Lin, did you forget something?”

Upon hearing the title, Lin Zhiyi realized.

“Third Young Master, you’re even jealous of your daughter.”

“Is that wrong?”

Gong Chen’s voice was low and magnetic, every word infused with warmth.

Lin Zhiyi looked at the hands wrapped around her waist, turned to see the man’s face approaching.

In front, Chen Jin showed a face long accustomed to this, looking straight ahead.

Lin Zhiyi bit her lip, kissed him quickly, and dashed out of the car.

In the car, Gong Chen watched the departing figure.

“Have someone follow Zhiyi.”

“Yes.”

Lin Zhiyi reached the hospital room door, just in time to meet Li Huan doing rounds.

The two entered together.

Ren Xiya had long risen, standing by the window in a daze.

Anyone would see her emotions were off.

Lin Zhiyi was about to ask Li Huan what happened, but Li Huan was staring straight at the trash can.

She followed his gaze, seeing a fully packaged sliced cake inside, along with an IV bag.

Instantly, she understood.

She worriedly looked at Li Huan, who was acting nonchalant.

“Miss Ren, lie down for an examination.”

It shouldn’t be nothing, his tone got serious.

Ren Xiya turned around, her eyes dark, taking a long time to speak slowly.

“I… my mom was taken.”

After speaking, Ren Xiya fainted.

Li Huan reacted swiftly, reaching out to hold the falling Ren Xiya.

When Lin Zhiyi went forward to help, she saw the cell phone screen on the window sill still lit.

She picked up the phone to check, it was a text from an unknown number.

Inside was a photo of Ren Xiya’s mother, with two tall and sturdy men standing beside her.

Although only their necks downward were captured, from the subtle similarities between the two.

They were the twin bodyguards by Old Mr. Gong’s side.

Ren Xue ended up in their hands, escape was impossible.

She handed the phone to Li Huan.

Li Huan frowned: “I’ll notify…”

Lin Zhiyi grabbed his arm: “Huanhuan, wait, don’t alarm the snake just yet. The text below mentioned letting Miss Ren consider carefully. Her mother is everything to her, we can’t afford anything happening.”

Li Huan stared at Lin Zhiyi for a few seconds, then nodded.

“Alright, I’ll check her wounds first.”

Lin Zhiyi responded and stepped aside.

Other doctors and nurses watched Li Huan at work.

A few minutes later, Li Huan instructed the nurses on care and left the room.

Lin Zhiyi stood by the table, preparing breakfast.

While pouring brown sugar water, she distinctly felt the door opening behind her.

A pair of eyes surveyed the room.

After a while, the room door closed, Lin Zhiyi finally exhaled.

Setting down the thermos, Li Huan quietly came through the door.

Lin Zhiyi asked immediately: “Did you see clearly?”

Li Huan nodded: “It was the head nurse. She was standing here while doing rounds, no wonder…”

As he spoke, he glanced at Ren Xiya lying on the bed.

“First Miss, stop pretending to faint, they’re gone.”

Ren Xiya opened her eyes and moved her neck.

“Li Huan, don’t touch randomly next time.”

She tidied the patient gown at her chest.

“I… I…”

Li Huan stammered for ages without saying a word outright.

He wasn’t doing it on purpose, she just fell at an awkward angle.

Great, now he couldn’t even deny not wanting to sleep with her.

Ren Xiya paid it no mind and continued: “Didn’t expect you two to respond quickly and cooperate so well.”

Lin Zhiyi sighed: “We’re used to it, always keeping an extra eye on things. But mainly because of you, fainting is one thing, flipping the bird is excessive, hard not to notice.”

Ren Xiya glanced at Li Huan: “He probably didn’t notice, his focus was likely on my chest.”

Lin Zhiyi: “…”

Li Huan: “…”

Whoever wants this Director Li can have him.

Not serving this First Miss!

Lin Zhiyi chuckled awkwardly, speaking to ease the atmosphere: “Your mom is now in Mr. Gong’s hands, what’s your next plan?”

“He wants me to kneel and beg him,” Ren Xiya sneered, “Then I’ll kneel.”
