Chapter 14 Lulu Falls Ill

  • Leng Ye noticed An Jingxi's expression and said to the waiter, "You can leave now. We will call you if we need anything."
  • An Jingxi felt touched. She knew that Leng Ye was trying to spare her embarrassment by asking the waiters to leave.
  • Apart from the first time they met when he acted strangely, he always empathized with her. Even when he was in a bad mood, he would still joke and make her happy.
  • If it weren't for her... she might have agreed to him a long time ago.
  • While An Jingxi was lost in thought, she noticed that Leng Ye was looking at her hesitantly. Unable to contain her curiosity, she asked him, "Do you have something to ask me?"
  • After a moment of hesitation, Leng Ye spoke up, "I'm still thinking about what we discussed on the Ferris wheel."
  • Indeed, she couldn't avoid this question.
  • An Jingxi didn't know how to respond. At this moment, all she could do was remain silent.
  • "I know you might not have made up your mind yet, and I won't pressure you, but I still want to ask you." Leng Ye paused for a moment. "Would you be willing to give it a try with me? If there's something wrong with me, I can change."
  • An Jingxi looked at him, who had once again become serious, and felt at a loss for words.
  • Why is Leng Ye, who has always been superior, so humble in front of me?
  • Why does Leng Ye, who has always been cold and heartless, show genuine smiles in front of her?
  • Why does Leng Ye, who has always been the one others consider, consider her in every way?
  • Why...
  • These questions kept echoing in her mind.
  • It's all because he likes you, even more than he likes himself.
  • The defenses in An Jingxi's heart were slowly crumbling.
  • "I..." An Jingxi was about to answer when her phone suddenly rang.
  • It was a call from Mi Ge. Could something have happened to Lulu?!
  • "Hello." An Jingxi immediately answered.
  • "Jingxi, where are you? Something happened!" Mi Ge's voice was filled with tears.
  • "What happened? Don't panic." The tense atmosphere made An Jingxi's heart race.
  • "Lulu suddenly had a stomachache. We're on our way to the children's hospital. Hurry up and come." Mi Ge said in a flustered tone before hanging up the phone.
  • Before hanging up, she faintly heard Lulu crying.
  • After listening, An Jingxi was stunned for a moment, and her phone fell to the ground with a loud thud.
  • "I'm sorry, I have something to do, so I'll leave now. Let's contact each other next time," An Jingxi picked up her phone and ran towards the door.
  • Before Leng Ye could react, she had already run away.
  • Seeing the coat and bag she left behind, Leng Ye immediately picked them up and chased after her, "Jingxi, you forgot your things."
  • "Thanks," An Jingxi didn't even look at him, she just took the items and got into a taxi.
  • "Is there something urgent? Do you want me to drive you?" Although Leng Ye was still confused, judging from her nervousness, it must be something important to her.
  • "No need to trouble you. I'll treat you to a meal another day. I'm leaving now, sorry," An Jingxi fastened her seatbelt and asked the driver to start the car.
  • Leng Ye watched the taxi drive away and couldn't help but start to speculate.
  • Who could make her so nervous? Could it be that man?
  • Leng Ye couldn't help but sigh.
  • When An Jingxi hurriedly arrived at the hospital, Lele had already been examined and Mi Ge was by An Le's bedside.
  • "What's going on? What happened to Lele?" An Jingxi quickly went up and touched An Le's forehead.
  • "I was wondering what was wrong with you?! You left my precious godson alone at home," Mi Ge complained as soon as she saw An Jingxi, "If Lele hadn't called me, I wouldn't have arrived in time. Who knows what would have happened to him!"
  • Listening to Mi Ge's complaints, tears streamed down An Jingxi's face, and all the worries along the way seemed to turn into tears.
  • She didn't expect Lele to be so considerate. Even though his stomach hurt, he didn't call her because she said she was working and busy.
  • But what was she doing? She was playing at the amusement park with another man.
  • I'm sorry, Lele. It's all Mommy's fault. Mommy was wrong.
  • Seeing An Jingxi crying, Mi Ge suddenly panicked and quickly handed her a tissue to comfort her, "Don't cry, everything is fine. The doctor said Lele can go home tomorrow."
  • "Thank you so much today, Xiao Mi," An Jingxi took the tissue and wiped her tears, her voice choked.
  • "What are you thanking me for? Just make it up to my godson, that's enough thanks for me," Mi Ge said, slightly frustrated, as she tapped An Jingxi's forehead.
  • "I know, when he wakes up, I will definitely make it up to him," An Jingxi held An Le's small hand and gently kissed it near her mouth.
  • "But... Lele told me that you didn't go home last night, and you weren't at the company either. What were you doing?" Mi Ge looked at her suspiciously.
  • Knowing that she couldn't escape Mi Ge's scrutiny, An Jingxi had no choice but to tell her everything.
  • "Oh my god, I didn't expect the CEO to be so capable. Should I start calling you Mrs. CEO from now on?" Mi Ge smirked and leaned closer to An Jingxi.
  • "What are you thinking?" An Jingxi sighed and furrowed her brows. "There's no possibility between us. He's the high and mighty President, the eligible bachelor that every wealthy girl wants to marry. And I'm just a somewhat famous designer."
  • An Jingxi paused for a moment. "And... now I have Deep and Lele with me, so I'm even more unworthy of him."
  • Listening to An Jingxi's words, Mi Ge furrowed her brows and lightly flicked her forehead.
  • "What are you thinking all day? You're unique, An Jingxi. Listen, everyone will meet their special someone, it's just that you haven't met yours yet. Who made you give up on yourself like this?"
  • "Only you would think like that. Do you remember that time when we went viral? Just two photos and people were cursing us like crazy." If it wasn't for Leng Ye taking down the trending topic, she would probably be pelted with rotten vegetables whenever she went out now.
  • Mi Ge quickly explained, "They don't understand. They sit behind their keyboards and judge others, thinking they're morally superior, but they're nothing."
  • "But they can't possibly understand me either. He genuinely treats me well, and I don't want him to be ridiculed behind his back," An Jingxi said, gazing at Anle with tenderness.
  • "I can't be selfish and let my two precious ones get hurt. I can't be that self-centered."
  • Mige looked at An Jingxi, her expression determined, showing that she couldn't change her mind.
  • However, An Jingxi had never seen An Jingxi behave this way towards anyone else, except for that person. Perhaps she could consider helping her for the sake of her happiness.
  • After a few days, An Jingxi entrusted Anle to Mige and hurriedly went to the company.
  • If it wasn't for an urgent matter that required her attention, she would never leave Anle again.
  • But it wasn't fair to keep troubling Mige like this. It seemed like it was time to find a nanny for Anle.
  • As An Jingxi walked towards the entrance of the company, she heard a continuous honking sound. She followed the sound and saw a black car.
  • The more An Jingxi looked, the more familiar it seemed.
  • At that moment, the car window rolled down, revealing a delicate profile.
