Song Qingchen paused and said calmly, “Stay there and don’t move. I’ll be right there.”
“Okay! Be safe on the way!”
Lin Jiannan returned to the study room and took off her coat to cover Xu Wanwan. She held her chin and looked at her. “Hey, I was finally with Dr. Song. Why are you sick? I was going to treat you to a meal.”
Half an hour later, song Qingchen rushed over from the research institute.
He brought Xu Wanwan to the nearby hospital for a check-up. He confirmed that it was a cold and fever. If he wanted to reduce the fever quickly, he had to give her an injection.
Sitting on the hospital bench, Xu Wanwan had an IV in her hand. The cold liquid was drilling into her flesh. She was so cold that she frowned.
“Wanwan, bear with it. You Won’t feel so bad after the injection.”Lin Jiannan sat at the side and could not help but hold her hand to comfort her.
Xu Wanwan shook her head and said calmly, “You don’t have to worry. I’m fine.”
“You’ve already had a fever for a few days. Why did you wait until now to come to the hospital?”Song Qingchen, who had been standing by the side, couldn’t help but frown. “A high fever of 40 degrees can easily cause accidents.”
“Does Li Jingran know about this?”
A hint of panic appeared in Xu Wanwan’s eyes. “I don’t want Li Jingran to know that I’m sick. Can you not tell him?”
“Why? Did you quarrel with Big CEO Li?”
“I didn’t quarrel.”Xu Wanwan shook her head. “Uncle Li is seriously ill, and Li Jingran doesn’t know about it. I’m afraid that he will find out the truth and delay his work.”
Song Qingchen’s frown deepened. “You haven’t told Li Jingran about old master Li’s serious illness?”
“No.”
“How can you hold on by yourself?”Song Qingchen said in a deep voice. “You’re sick and need someone to take care of you.”
“I’m really fine. It’s just a small cold. I’ll be fine after a while.”Xu Wanwan was very tired, but she still forced a smile.
It was already night time after the injection. She took Dr. Song’s car home. After thanking him, she went upstairs to her room and fell asleep.
Li Jingran, who was far away overseas, had no idea at all. He did not know that old master Li was seriously ill, nor did he know that Xu Wanwan had a fever.
Another three days passed. Xu Wanwan received injections for a few days in a row, and her condition gradually improved.
That day, the teacher of the tutoring class took a day off because she had something to do. For the time being, she could not find a substitute, so Xu Wanwan had to find time to teach the children.
In class, she wore a white shirt and drew three cartoon characters on the blackboard. She smiled and looked at the children below. “There are three people on the blackboard. One is a father, the other is a mother, and the other is a baby.”
“Everyone wants a father and mother, so in this class, I want everyone to draw their own family members, okay?”
A curious child below asked, “Teacher, I am the baby of Father and mother. What is the relationship between father and mother?”
Xu Wanwan was amused by this innocent question.
She thought for a moment and answered, “Father and mother are husband and wife. Father is mother’s husband, and mother is father’s wife. They love each other, so they gave birth to the baby.”
“Teacher, do you have a husband?”The little boy tilted his head and asked in a childish voice.
Xu Wanwan replied gently, “I guess so.”
“Wow! Then teacher also has a baby?”
“A baby…”Xu Wanwan facepalmed. For a moment, she did not know how to explain to these kids, “The baby hasn’t been born yet.”
She was afraid that these kids would ask about this again, so she quickly said, “Everyone, don’t waste any more time. The kids who finish their work first will be rewarded.”
When the kids below heard this, it was as if they were injected with stimulants. Instantly, they were filled with fighting spirit and focused on painting.
Xu Wanwan quietly leaned against the podium and looked out of the window.
The withered yellow leaves had not yet sprouted. The scenery was lonely, and everything seemed a little lonely.
A hint of loneliness flashed across her face.
The two-month deadline was almost up.
These two months had been spent in anticipation, and time actually passed so quickly.
But what would Li Jingran face when he returned?
Xu Wanwan closed her eyes, not daring to think.
At this moment, her back was facing the window. She did not know that the man standing outside the window had been looking at her.
Li Jingran leaned against the corridor outside the tutoring class. He was tall and had long legs. His high-class custom-made suit complemented his perfect figure, and his entire body exuded a powerful aura.
The group of parents who were sitting outside the corridor were all staring at him.
They were either married women or the elders of their children. It was rare for them to see such a tall and handsome man in real life, so they couldn’t help but sigh.
“TSK, which family’s child’s parent is that man?”
“He looks very young. He shouldn’t be able to have children at such a young age, right? Could it be that some big celebrity has come here?”
“I look like a celebrity too. No, he’s even prettier than the celebrities on TV!”
In class, Xu Wanwan composed herself and smiled at the children below. “It’s time. has everyone finished?”
A chorus of voices came from below. “We’ve finished!”
“Teacher, I’m the first one to finish!”Some of the children had already taken the initiative to stand up, waiting for rewards and praise.
“No, I’m the first one to complete it!”
“I’m the first one, but none of them are!”
A few of the children’s faces turned red as they quarreled. They had to decide who would win.
Xu Wanwan smiled leniently. She took out a big bag from behind her and distributed all kinds of gifts in the bag.
“Teacher, why does everyone have gifts?”
“Because you all did a great job.”Xu Wanwan stood on the podium and smiled gently.
The group of children below jumped up in joy. Each of them rushed into the arms of their parents with the gifts in their hands.
“Mommy, teacher Xu is so good. He prepared such a good gift for us.”The Little Boy rushed out of the classroom and threw himself into his mother’s arms. He raised the cartoon toy in his hand and proudly shared it.
The boy’s mother asked, “Did you thank teacher Xu?”
“Of course, thank you. I’m a polite child.”
The boy jumped happily and accidentally stepped on a foot. Then, he looked up timidly.
Li Jingran’s face darkened for a moment.
“Sir, I’m sorry.”The boy’s mother looked at Li Jingran apologetically and quickly said to her son, “Quickly apologize to this uncle.”
“Uncle, I’m sorry.”
Li Jingran didn’t like children. He just looked at him coldly and then looked away.
Xu Wanwan had just finished packing the things at hand. Just as she walked out of the door, she turned and bumped into the man’s strong and broad chest.
A familiar scent of hormones came from the tip of her nose. She couldn’t help but be stunned. When she looked up and saw the man’s familiar face, her eyes immediately turned red.
“Li Jingran… When did you come back?”
The girl in front of him was like a frightened little white rabbit. Li Jingran’s heart softened. He raised his hand to hug her shoulder and said in a low voice, “Did you miss me?”
