Chapter 140: One hundred forty Dajing Jiezhi_1 Chapter 140: One hundred forty Dajing Jiezhi_1 If she kept on talking, she figured she could come up with even more twisted thoughts.

It made her even more embarrassed to show her face.

Gu Chen licked his lips and decided to change the subject.

“It’s getting late, let’s go have dinner, what do you feel like eating?”

Ji Pianran was in no mood to think about what to eat.

As long as that mortifying topic was dropped.

Anything would do!

Right now, she really just wanted to leave.

She swallowed her saliva, her moist eyes full of panic.

Hastily nodding her head, she said softly, “Okay.”

After speaking, she walked away briskly.

If she didn’t leave now, she truly wouldn’t have the face to see anyone!

Gu Chen followed Ji Pianran with Tangtang in his arms.

Looking at her retreating figure, he couldn’t help but find it somewhat amusing.

This wife of his, truly incomparable!

If you said she was clever, sometimes she was so silly it was endearing!

Not much smarter than a child.

But if you said she was foolish, there would be moments when her mind was frighteningly full of ideas.

Why was she so contrary?

And contrarily so adorable?

…

At the hospital entrance, five or six doctors in white coats stood.

They were the most formidable directors of their respective departments, each accompanied by several nurses.

“When is Mr. Ji going to arrive anyway? I didn’t wear a sweater today!”

A nurse complained, hugging her arms with a face full of dissatisfaction.

Seeing this, another nurse hurriedly whispered, “Pipe down! Just wait, this is the Dean’s friend, a real big shot, mind you don’t get scolded!”

“Ah, I’m really freezing here,” the other nurse shivered, looking helpless.

As they were speaking, an ambulance with its red lights flashing drove up in front of them.

Seeing this, the doctors and nurses immediately quickened their pace to greet it.

The moment the ambulance stopped, doctors hurried aboard and carefully lifted an elderly patient with graying hair from inside.

The old man had his eyes closed, as if he had fallen into a coma.

Also descending from the vehicle was a young man.

He appeared to be about seventeen or eighteen years old, dressed in tasteful clothing that clearly came with a hefty price tag.

His short hair was clean and fluffy, and his oval face boasted a pair of standard almond eyes.

His expression was grave, seemingly worried about the person on the stretcher.

Accompanying him was a middle-aged man in a suit; he appeared to be up in years as well but maintained a decent posture.

The doctor smiled at the young man.

He politely comforted him, “Ji Chu, we’ll do our utmost, your father’s condition is chronic, rest assured, he’ll be alright, don’t worry too much.”

Upon hearing this, the young man named Ji Chu nodded.

He glanced expressionlessly at the middle-aged man in the suit beside him.

And then said, “Uncle Quan, let’s go in.”

“Mm!”

Uncle Quan agreed and moved to the stretcher, helping the doctors and nurses push it toward the interior of the hospital.

At this moment, Ji Pianran, flustered, had reached the hospital entrance. She walked with her head down and without paying attention, she bumped into the young man called Ji Chu.

In the flickering moment they brushed past one another, Ji Chu’s brows twitched slightly, and his heart involuntarily tightened.

The next second, his already wide eyes were searching for the woman who had just brushed past him.

Unfortunately.

There were just too many people, and Ji Pianran had already vanished into the crowd.

He swallowed hard.

Sister?

Could it be that his sister was here?

In that momentary distraction, Ji Chu unintentionally fell behind.

Just as he was about to leave, he turned around and accidentally collided with Gu Chen, who was pursuing his wife with a child in his arms.

Gu Chen really hadn’t intended it.

It was just that his wife was moving too quickly.

She was quite agile alone, but, of course, carrying a child would slow him down.

There, I’ve bumped into someone again by accident.

Gu Chen hurriedly smiled and apologized, “Sorry about that, bro.”

Ji Chu nodded, “No problem.”

After speaking, he walked straight toward the elevator without turning his head back.

…

Ten minutes later, Ji Pianran and Gu Chen entered a noodle shop that seemed to smell good.

Gu Chen ordered two large bowls of beef noodles.

Only then did they find an empty table to sit down at.

Because of the incident just now, Ji Pianran felt somewhat uncomfortable.

Seeing Gu Chen, her heart couldn’t help but beat faster.

She simply kept her head down, trying to appear as normal as possible.

The noodle restaurant was crowded, bustling, and noisy.

A few acquaintances sat together, enjoying their noodles while chatting about everything under the sun.

Behind them, someone was on the phone, speaking loudly.

The decibels were almost like shouting,

as if they wanted to make sure everyone knew they had a phone.

Gu Chen originally wanted to ask him to speak a bit quieter since his shouting on the phone was on a completely different level from those chatting.

They were talking, but he was outright yelling!

Way too noisy!

Just as he turned around, the person finished their phone call with a “goodbye.”

Gu Chen only saw the person’s back.

And a hand with a big gold ring.

He pursed his lips, what else could he do? The person had already shut up, so he said nothing.

As he turned back around,

the little one in his arms stirred.

Then sleepily opened her eyes.

It was unclear whether she was woken by the noise or by Gu Chen’s turn.

She looked at Gu Chen, opened her little mouth, and called out softly and tenderly,

“Daddy…”

Seeing her daughter awake, Ji Pianran quickly handed over the half-filled glass of water, looking at the little one in Gu Chen’s arms with concern.

“Give Tangtang some water to drink, she hasn’t had any all morning.”

Gu Chen took the glass, unscrewed it, and held it to Tangtang’s mouth.

The moment the little girl opened her mouth, before even two sips of water were drunk, the rim of the cup turned milky white.

Ji Pianran saw the whitened rim of the cup and was immediately startled.

“What’s going on?”

Why had the child’s saliva turned white?

What on earth was the matter?

As a mother, Ji Pianran was naturally concerned about her child, so she stood up and walked over to Gu Chen to check what was wrong with Tangtang’s mouth.

Seeing her look so anxious, Gu Chen smiled.

“It’s nothing. She ate a White Rabbit candy before sleeping. She must have fallen asleep with the candy still in her mouth, soaked by saliva, so that’s why it’s white.”

After finishing, he couldn’t help but express his amazement.

“What a little glutton, even asleep the candy didn’t fall out of her mouth!”

Hearing this, Ji Pianran finally relaxed.

So it was because of the candy.

Her eyes blinked, as if recalling something, and her facial expression became serious.

“You gave her candy again.”

Eating too much candy can ruin one’s teeth, especially a child’s teeth, which need extra care.

Seeing his wife upset, Gu Chen quickly thought of something.

“Didn’t she have a blood test? She needs to replenish her sugar levels, or she could get hypoglycemia, which would make it very uncomfortable for her, right?”

That excuse was indeed perfect.

Ji Pianran immediately let go of her anger.

After all, she genuinely adored her child.

She blinked her eyes, touched Tangtang’s face with her hand, her gaze extremely tender.

“Drink more water. When the noodles come, Mommy will feed you.”

Thinking of her daughter’s blood test, Ji Pianran couldn’t help but feel heartache.

At this moment, the family of three, each taking turns speaking, attracted the curiosity of the person with the big gold ring.
