Chapter 845 - 888: At the Bottom of the Steps
In the end, they were really something. No one even bothered with her, let alone tried to comfort her!Now it was even worse. Her stomach was clearly starving, sitting in the living room, and she could even smell the fragrance of the food coming from the dining room!
Thinking about those delicious dishes, Ling Yueyue couldn’t help but swallow her saliva again!
Even though she was craving badly, Tiantian sitting at the dining table seemed completely oblivious to her mother’s suffering, eating while praising, "Wow, it’s so lavish! It tastes so good! Aunt Mu, your chef cooks so well, can I come often in the future to eat here?"
This was Tiantian’s first time eating here, and for a little foodie, as long as something was delicious, she couldn’t resist it! So, to win over this little foodie’s heart, just give her tasty food!
However, Tiantian didn’t know that as soon as she said this, she nearly angered Ling Yueyue on the living room sofa to death, constantly cursing the little ungrateful child inwardly!
Ruan Zhitong nodded eagerly, "Sure! If you want, you can come to eat every day!"
"That’s awesome! I want that one!" Tiantian jumped up happily from her chair, pointing to a dish far from her and asking the person next to her to get it for her, showing no politeness.
"I’ll get it for you!" Ruan Zhitong’s eyes gleamed as she reached out with chopsticks to place the dish she pointed at into her bowl.
"Thank you, Aunt Mu!" Tiantian beamed, thanking her, then buried her head and began to eat in big mouthfuls.
Watching them enjoy the meal, it seemed no one noticed she was sitting there! Even her own daughter entirely ignored the fact that she was still hungry.
To know how she was preparing for the close friend’s discharge from the hospital, she had only eaten some porridge in the morning before rushing over! Having been busy all morning, dealing with yuzu leaves and firecrackers, she was already hungry! Even though she had some fruit earlier, it wasn’t filling! So she was really starving now, and her stomach started growling, protesting rather impolitely.
Everyone pretty much ignored her, as if they had completely forgotten she existed!
And Tiantian and Ruan Zhitong, whether intentionally or not, kept making noise while eating and talking! Listening to the sounds of their dining, smelling the fragrance of the food, she unconsciously licked her lips! Just as she was contemplating whether to just rush over to eat, her mother’s voice came from the dining room, "Yueyue, come and eat a little! People rely on iron, food is steel, how can you do without food! Besides, Xiao Bai is just a little kid, no need to get angry with a child, lest people laugh at you!"
"...!" Seeing her mother finally spoke up, Ling Yueyue was moved to tears.
Thinking she was still angry, her mother continued, "Hurry over to eat! Been busy since morning, your stomach must be hungry by now! If you don’t come over, the food will all be finished by them!"
"...!" Ling Yueyue hesitated for a while longer, then stood up, pretending to grudgingly walk over to sit beside the dining table, puffing her cheeks, stubbornly saying, "I’m giving Auntie face, not holding it against you guys! Hmph...!" Saying that, she picked up chopsticks and began to eat.
At first, she could still pretend to be unwilling! But as soon as two bites of food went down, her appetite opened up, forgetting her stubborn face, she began to devour the food.
Ling Yueyue was truly Ye Anxin’s best friend, the two of them had identical eating postures and appearances, both seemed like they had been released from a hunger prison, head buried, frantically shoveling food into mouths with no manners at all.
Watching her like this, a subtle disdain flickered deep in Ruan Zhitong’s eyes.
Having been well-educated from a young age, she always sat properly, ate properly, and maintained the practice of not speaking while eating or sleeping! Usually seeing people with poor eating manners, she looked down upon them, thinking they lacked quality!
She never imagined she’d become the very person she despised most, having to pretend to gobble up food every day!
Although she inwardly scorned Ye Anxin and Ling Yueyue, Ruan Zhitong portrayed none of it on her face, maintaining an innocent smile!
After having lunch, Ling Yueyue and Ye Shan stayed a little while, and then left together, letting Ruan Zhitong get some rest.
After a whole day, from busy with discharge in the morning until now, Ruan Zhitong barely stopped, once everyone left, she collapsed on the bed, not wanting to move.
Mu Beiting sat down beside her, asked warmly, "Are you tired?"
Ye Anxin nodded, smiling, "Yes! It feels like home hasn’t been this lively in ages, though tired, I’m happy!"
Mu Beiting stroked her head with concern, "If you’re tired, get some rest! I’ll call you for dinner tonight!"
"Okay!" Ruan Zhitong nodded, holding Mu Beiting’s arm, playfully said, "What about you? Won’t you sleep with me?"
Mu Beiting shook his head, "No! Pete will bring some office work from the company for me later! I’ve been at the hospital with you, a lot has piled up at the office! In the coming days, I’ll be a bit busy!"
Upon hearing this, despite being unwilling, Ruan Zhitong remained gracious, expressing concern, "You’ve been taking care of me in the hospital these days, haven’t had much rest! No matter how much work there is, don’t overdo it! Otherwise, your body won’t be able to take it!"
"I know! I’m going out, you rest for a bit!" Mu Beiting nodded, stood up intending to leave and unexpectedly heard a baby’s cry from outside the room.
Upon hearing the cry, Ruan Zhitong immediately sat up from the bed, meeting Mu Beiting’s gaze! Before they could say anything, there was a knock on the door, followed by the nanny’s voice, "Sir, Ma’am, Miss woke up and keeps fussing, won’t drink milk! Must be missing Ma’am and Sir!"
As soon as the nanny finished her words, Mu Beiting walked over to open the door.
Indeed, little Chu Yi was being carried by the nanny, her cries incessantly coming from her little mouth, her face wet with tears.
Mu Beiting lovingly took little Chu Yi, expressionless, "Bring Miss to me, you go get her milk!"
"Yes!" The nanny nodded and left.
This time was different from before, once little Chu Yi was in Mu Beiting’s arms, she didn’t stop crying, instead cried even harder, no matter how much Mu Beiting held and soothed her.
Ruan Zhitong walked over, noticing Chu Yi’s small face had already been crying to a purplish-blue color, lovingly asked, "Honey, what’s wrong with Chu Yi? Why is she crying so hard even while you’re holding her?"
