Shi Nianyao: …
After all that talk, was he still worried about her meeting up with Mo Xicheng?
Shi Nianyao was speechless. She looked up at her big brother and saw that he had a determined expression on his face. It didn’t look negotiable. She knew at once that if she didn’t let their family chauffeur drive her, Shi Xun would not let her out of the house.
She had no choice but to agree, “Alright, in any case it’s dark and I really don’t feel like driving.”
The man nodded and called the butler so that he would arrange for the chauffeur to drive her.
Shi Nianyao stood aside and watched as he made the arrangements. Putting her arms around his, she looked at him and started, “Big Brother.”
Shi Xun gave her a look that said everything: “Uh huh?”
Shi Nianyao insisted, “Mo Xicheng and I are just dating like any other couple. Don’t you think you’re overreacting? Even if we go on a date at night, it doesn’t necessarily mean that we’re being intimate.”
Shi Xun immediately replied without batting an eye, “If you’re meeting at such a late hour and you’re being intimate, then I think I ought to be taking him to the hospital for a health check.”
Shi Nianyao: …!!
The normally nimble and talkative Shi Nianyao found herself rendered speechless when up against Shi Xun.
This was simply…
Shi Nianyao pouted, raised her hand and made a stabbing gesture at him. Then she turned around and walked out.
After the car carrying Shi Nianyao had driven away from the villa, Tian Tian walked out of their bedroom. Looking at Shi Xun, she couldn’t help but smile and say, “Yao Yao is a big girl, you should let her be.”
Shi Xun answered, “She’s a big girl but to me, she’s still not thinking straight. She likes someone and goes all out for him without thinking too much. What if she got hurt? If we don’t manage to sort his mother out, I don’t think they should be together! It’s not as though you don’t know how much trouble a mother-in-law can create in the household.”
Tian Tian warned him, “But you have to be cautious about keeping such a short leash on her. At some point things may backfire. Who knows? One day you may receive some sort of shocking news.”
Shi Xun said optimistically, “With me watching over her and not letting Mo Xicheng have his way, what big surprises can they cause? At least, they can’t possibly run off and register their marriage in secret, right?”
On that note, he turned and went back to the bedroom.
Tian Tian thought about what he said and agreed it made sense, although knowing her sister-in-law well enough, it wouldn’t be beyond her.
At this point, of course the both of them had completely no idea there was more truth to this than they realized.
–
It was already 8.30 p.m. by the time Shi Nianyao arrived at the hospital.
It was dark, night had fallen.
She got out of the car and instructed the chauffeur to wait at the parking lot while she went up to the ward alone.
Looking into the ward from the outside, she could see that Yao Lili was alone. She was sobbing quietly, looking very lost, like a child who had done something awfully wrong and was now repentant.
Shi Nianyao observed the scene for a while before she pushed open the door and walked in.
When Yao Lili heard the door open, she looked up. Upon seeing Shi Nianyao, her expression lit up in pleasant surprise. Although right afterwards, there was a flash of malice.
However she acted exceptionally excited and emotional as she greeted the girl, “Ms. Shi you’re here, please take a seat.”
Shi Nianyao smiled at her and greeted her politely, “Auntie Yao.”
She walked to the sofa on the side and sat down, keeping a distance from the woman in case she tried any tricks. She eyed the woman cautiously.
