CHAPTER 346: CHAPTER 346 SHE WON’T WAIT FOR HIM ANYMORE

After You Ran was harassed by Gu Qianlan once again, he sought out An Junxi, "Please show mercy and save me from this misery!"

An Junxi was counting down the days until Gu Yikun’s return every day. She didn’t want to see You Ran; Yi Ke had told her to stay at home. If he found out she went to see You Ran, he’d definitely be angry.

You Ran said over the phone, "If you don’t help me, I might actually die."

Wearing sunglasses and a hat, An Junxi sneakily arrived at the hospital. Seeing how thin You Ran had become, she finally felt compassion, "I’ll help you transfer hospitals. But I can’t be involved directly. Pretend you never saw me."

You Ran was grateful to the point of tears, "Jun Xi, if you still want to learn photography in the future, I promise to teach you everything without holding back."

Receiving such a valuable promise from You Ran made An Junxi feel that the risk was worthwhile.

She said, "I can cover all the costs. Do you have any friends who can help with the transfer procedures? If it’s my friends, Gu Qianlan will definitely know it was me."

You Ran made a call, "My friend will come soon. He’s been beaten up by Gu Qianlan before and now has a psychological shadow."

Not long after, An Junxi saw the friend, and she was stunned, "Tony, you know You Ran?"

Tony didn’t expect to see someone familiar here, "Miss An, what a coincidence."

He still remembered An Junxi. Two years ago, the young master of the Yin Family had taken her to the salon for styling. As a senior stylist, Tony’s memory and fashion sense were equally sharp. He remembered every style he’d worked on clearly.

Miss An’s style that day was very successful, and he remembered it vividly.

Seeing the two, An Junxi asked, "Are you... a couple?"

Tony wanted to say something, but You Ran couldn’t be bothered to explain, "Stop reminiscing and get to work!"

An Junxi and Tony helped You Ran transfer to another hospital, specifically, the Gu Family’s private hospital.

You Ran was anxious, "This place is too dangerous!"

An Junxi said, "The most dangerous place is the safest place. I’ve talked to the doctors and nurses who will take care of you; they won’t say anything. Just focus on recovering."

You Ran felt reassured, "Will your husband beat me up when he gets back?"

An Junxi didn’t deny the possibility, "I can’t visit you regularly. Tony will find time to check on you. Recover quietly and don’t let Gu Qianlan find out."

"Alright, you should go."

An Junxi said, "Don’t forget your promise to me. I’ll come to claim it in the future."

You Ran felt desolate, "You don’t care about my injuries at all. You only care about my promise to you."

An Junxi left the hospital and returned to the Gu Family. The next day, Gu Qianlan discovered that You Ran was no longer at the hospital and came to kick open An Junxi’s bedroom door, "An Junxi, was it you? Why do you have to oppose me!"

An Junxi was coaxing Ai Xi to sleep. At night, she couldn’t sleep alone, so she decided to sleep with the child.

Gu Qianlan’s kick startled Ai Xi awake, and the little one started crying. An Junxi held the child, patting her back, "Don’t be scared, Mommy’s here."

Upon hearing the noise, Liang Huiyun and her husband approached. Gu Kuangyong saw Ai Xi crying, her face turning purple. He grabbed Gu Qianlan’s ear and scolded, "Why did you have to scare the child so late at night? Come to my study!"

Gu Qianlan dared not let her parents know about You Ran. If they found out about her close relationship with a lesbian, they definitely would not let You Ran off.

She held back her grievances and endured the scolding until dawn. An Junxi couldn’t soothe her daughter, so she made a video call to Gu Yikun, "Baby, stop crying. Daddy won’t be happy if he sees you crying."

Little Ai Xi loved video calls. She held up the phone and called, "Papa."

Gu Yikun, in his private hospital office, used a white wall as a background. Seeing his daughter’s red eyes in the video, he asked worriedly, "Why is my little princess crying? Where’s Mommy?"

Smart little Ai Xi pouted and said, "Auntie wants to hit people."

Gu Yikun frowned and asked An Junxi, "Did Qianlan argue with you again?"

An Junxi took the phone closer and said, "Just a small issue. She just scared the child, and I can’t calm her down, which is why I called you."

Gu Yikun soothed his daughter, "Daddy will scold Auntie for you."

Ai Xi forgot about crying and used her chubby little hand to touch her daddy’s face on the screen, saying, "Daddy come back soon, and bring toys."

An Junxi and Gu Yikun both smiled. Gu Yikun wished he could fly back immediately to see his precious ones. He seriously said, "Daddy will bring toys."

An Junxi asked him, "When will you be back?"

Gu Yikun, with a troubled expression, said, "Maybe another twenty days"

The lawsuit was almost resolved, just waiting for the final closing arguments. Cheng Ye could handle it. Now, the main issue was Yue Xiaoyang’s injury.

Yue Xiaoyang agreed to treatment, but his condition was not optimistic. Gu Yikun feared that Xiaoyang might give up again. At this time, he dared not return to the country; otherwise, no one could persuade Yue Xiaoyang.

An Junxi calculated, "You’ve been in the United States for nearly a month," much longer than estimated.

Feeling guilty, Gu Yikun said, "Xi Xi, it’s been hard on you caring for our daughter at home. I miss you."

An Junxi also missed him. She knew how busy he was and empathetically said, "I know you’re the one working hardest. Take your time. Our daughter and I will be waiting at home."

Ai Xi mimicked her mom, "Waiting for Daddy."

Gu Yikun longed to hug his two treasures. An Junxi had their daughter blow a kiss to Daddy and said, "You go ahead and get busy. We’re going to sleep now."

Reluctantly ending the video call, Gu Yikun went to find a doctor. The doctor had devised a rehabilitation regimen for Yue Xiaoyang involving both physical therapy and acupuncture, "Mr. Yue has a 30% chance of recovery. If he has a strong will, I’ll add an exercise environment to the plan, increasing the chances."

Gu Yikun and Xie Yuchen didn’t give Yue Xiaoyang a choice, directly telling him, "This is your only path. We’ve made the decision for you."

Previously scolded by them, Yue Xiaoyang, now with a slight recovery in his spirit, said, "I’ll give it a try."

The rehabilitation process was painful, with two caretakers on hand. Each treatment session drained all of Yue Xiaoyang’s energy.

Xie Yuchen couldn’t bear to watch and privately told Gu Yikun, "Xiaoyang once said he couldn’t accept becoming weak and helpless. Now, each day is a struggle for him."

Gu Yikun opened a bottle of wine, "Who could accept it? If I were in his place, I’d also worry about not being able to take care of Jun Xi and our daughter."

Brought up in privileged families, they had always stood above others, never experiencing the cold stares of the world. They fully understood how devastating this blow was for Yue Xiaoyang.

After half a month of grueling treatment, Yue Xiaoyang moved from numbness to calmness, "You guys should return home. Don’t waste your time here."

Gu Yikun and Xie Yuchen were in no hurry to leave, "Just focus on taking care of yourself. Don’t nag us."

Yue Xiaoyang didn’t understand the reason for his suffering. Even if he had a chance to recover, she wouldn’t wait for him anymore.

Xiao Yu, will you be happy with Yu Zheng?
