Mother’s Assistance

Translator: Henyee Translations | Editor: Henyee Translations

The more Su Rong looked at Yan Xiu, the more she liked him. She felt that her daughter, Shen Xi, had good taste.

“Auntie.” Yan Xiu seemed a little uneasy about Su Rong’s sudden enthusiasm.

Just now, Su Rong had clearly walked into the ward with a calm expression. She was only as gentle to Shen Xi, but when she came out, she seemed to have become a different person. Yan Xiu was instantly at a loss and didn’t know what to do.

On the other hand, Shen Xi, who was in the ward, heard her mother’s words clearly. Her ears and cheeks turned completely red. She wished she could become an ostrich and deceive herself.

Su Rong patted Yan Xiu’s shoulder. “How long have you known Shen Xi?”

She guessed in her heart and asked.

“It won’t take long.” Yan Xiu shook his head and finally found an opportunity to

speak.

He glanced at the ward. “Auntie, if there’s nothing else, I’ll leave first.”

After all, in Yan Xiu’s opinion, since Su Rong was here, Shen Xi should have

nothing to do with him.

However, the unfamiliarity in his words stunned Su Rong. She frowned slightly and looked at Yan Xiu’s oblivious face, gradually reacting.

Could it be that… she had thought wrongly?

Then, she recalled that Yan Xiu had said that he had not known Shen Xi for

long…

Su Rong took a deep breath and suddenly felt that she might have mistaken

him for Xiao Xi’s boyfriend.

■Tm sorry, I suddenly remembered that I still have something to tell Xiao Xi.” Su Rong nodded at Yan Xiu and turned to look for her daughter.

When she entered, she didn’t forget to close the door of the ward. After taking two steps in, she saw Shen Xi listening to their conversation.

“Xiao Xi, isn’t that your boyfriend outside?” Su Rong pointed outside the door.

When Shen Xi saw her mother enter, she immediately nodded in embarrassment. “No!”

She wanted to explain to Su Rong, but she was afraid that Yan Xiu would hear her conversation outside, so she had no choice but to lower her voice, afraid that there would be a scene of social death.

When Su Rong heard her daughter’s words and expressions, she understood everything.

Good lord, she thought that the two of them were at least a couple. In the end, looking at Shen Xi now, she probably hadn’t even expressed her feelings.

“So the reason you kept running out recently is to see him?” Su Rong immediately thought of her daughter’s strange behavior.

Shen Xi had never liked to go outside in the past. Last month, it was especially frequent, so Su Rong noticed it.

At this point, Shen Xi could only admit, ‘Yes.

“…Sigh.” Su Rong finally couldn’t help but sigh.

Her daughter was good in every way and she would let her do whatever she wanted. It was just that she was too reserved.

“I understand. Rest well in the hospital.” Su Rong left after saying this.

She went straight to Yan Xiu. “Yan Xiu, right? Auntie Su still has something to do tonight. I’m afraid I can’t take care of Xiao Xi here personally.” “Xiao Xi doesn’t have many friends. Seeing that you two seem to be on good terms, can I trouble you tonight…”

Su Rong looked at Yan Xiu and made a request.

The bodyguard beside her lowered his head and didn’t speak. He ignored his Madam’s lie and swallowed the truth that was on the tip of his tongue.

If going home to do beauty treatments and sleep was considered busy, then Su Rong was indeed quite busy.

Su Rong said this without any psychological pressure. Her main goal was to create more opportunities for her daughter to interact with Yan Xiu.

How could they improve their relationship if they didn’t interact? How could she confess, fall in love, and get married if they didn’t get along? She was still hoping that she could have a grandson or granddaughter in the future.

“This…” Yan Xiu hesitated.

He didn’t expect Su Rong to make such a request of him at all, and his original plan to leave was stuck.

Although he was indeed free.

Seeing his hesitation, Su Rong could tell that there was a chance. “Xiao Xi has been weak since she was young, and her father is always busy with work and doesn’t take care of her much…”

“Alright.” Yan Xiu agreed quickly.

He had never been good at dealing with this, so when he heard Su Rong, he nodded in agreement and attempted to skip this part,

Su Rong originally wanted to make Yan Xiu feel compassion first, but in the end, she accidentally accomplished her main goal.

She hoped that her daughter would cherish her help.

Su Rong cheered for Shen Xi in her heart while she left with the bodyguards. Hence, only Yan Xiu and Shen Xi were left in the hospital. Seeing that Su Rong had messed up his plan to leave, Yan Xiu didn’t intend to stay in the cold corridor to freeze anymore, so he could only push open the door of Shen Xi’s room again.

“I’m sorry to disturb you tonight,” Yan Xiu said.

He sat on the empty bed beside her, planning to use this place as his resting place later.

Shen Xi hurriedly waved her hand. “No, it’s fine!”

She stammered and didn’t know what to say to Yan Xiu.

Although Shen Xi wanted Yan Xiu to stay and take care of her, after Su Rong really helped her do this, Shen Xi didn’t know how to interact with Yan Xiu. Moreover, they were in the same room. Staying together for the entire night… just the image of that scene appeared in her mind, and Shen Xi couldn’t stop the thoughts running through her mind.

The room was silent.

This silence was a little too much, but Yan Xiu subconsciously stared at the cell phone in his hand and sent a message to the few people in his contact list, explaining that he couldn’t go back.

Shen Xi couldn’t hide her thoughts and kept secretly looking at Yan Xiu.

■•H-how about you go back first, Yan Xiu? I can get my family to come again. You still have to go to the design studio tomorrow… Your energy will be affected.”

In the end, she took the initiative to break the atmosphere. Thinking that she was embarrassed to trouble Yan Xiu, she felt that she might have disturbed his arrangements.

Yan Xiu shook his head. “I’ve already promised Auntie Su.”

“Moreover, the studio will not be open for business tomorrow. If you let others come over at this time, it’ll disturb your rest.” He flipped his cell phone and showed Shen Xi the time on the screen.

He valued promises. At the same time, because he’d attended the banquet tonight, he’d planned to close the studio tomorrow to rest.

He was the boss, so he definitely had the final say on whether the business was open or not. He was not afraid of losing customers.

Shen Xi glanced at the time. It was 11.30 pm. It was indeed very late.

Normally speaking, when she was at home, she would sleep at 11 pm at the latest.

“I’m sorry…” Shen Xi subconsciously apologized again, thinking that she had not considered these things.

Yan Xiu frowned and suddenly looked up at her. Then, he spoke slowly, his voice extremely faint.

“There’s no need to apologize.” Yan Xiu didn’t understand why she said that. However, after hearing Yan Xiu’s words, Shen Xi didn’t know what to say. She sat on the bed almost cautiously, wondering if she should go to the bathroom herself to ease the awkwardness. But that couldn’t really solve the problem.

In the end, after being silent for a long time, Shen Xi finally realized that relying on herself would probably only silence the atmosphere tonight. Hence, she took out her phone and started asking for external help. [What should I do now that I’m in the same room as the person I like? I’m waiting online urgently.]

This news was sent to Ruan Ying and the others by Shen Xi. At the same time, she was feeling nervous and uneasy.

If Su Rong saw her daughter like this, she would probably show that “I expected better from you” expression again..
