Chapter 506 Mutual Warnings
Chapter 506 Mutual Warnings
She had just woken up, and her husband immediately spoke to her; this was a devastating blow to any woman. If Cao Youyou couldn't handle it, and something else happened…
Sure enough, Cao Youyou looked at Chi Moqing in disbelief, and after a long while, she asked tremblingly, "What...what did you just say? The...the baby...is gone?"
Chi Moqing nodded: "You were two months pregnant, but by the time you were brought to the hospital, it was too late to save the pregnancy."
"Husband." Yan Zuozuo tugged at his sleeve, trying to get him to speak more tactfully.
Cao Youyou's expression was complicated, and her weak complexion looked even paler.
She shook her head and muttered to herself, as if she had suffered a severe blow.
Yan Zuozuo said anxiously, "Youyou, don't be too sad. This was just an accident. I know I didn't handle this well. Tell me what you want, and I'll try my best to satisfy you."
"You'll satisfy me?" Cao Youyou stared at her blankly, then suddenly laughed.
Chi Moqing narrowed his cold eyes and walked to his wife's side.
“My child… my child is gone…” she cried uncontrollably.
Her body was already weak, and she had just lost her child. Yan Zuozuo was very worried that something might happen to her. She wanted to comfort her but didn't know what to say, so she could only wait quietly on the side.
It took Cao Youyou a long time to stop crying, and she sat there with a blank stare.
Yan Zuozuo moved her lips, but said nothing. She really wanted to call He Cangyuan and ask him to come and take care of Cao Youyou. But what if the child wasn't his?
"Yan Zuozuo..."
Hearing Cao Youyou call her, Yan Zuozuo quickly went over and said, "I'm here, what are you saying?"
"Could you meet with Mr. He...?"
Yan Zuozuo's heart tightened; even at a time like this, she was still thinking about this. This showed He Cangyuan's importance to Cao Youyou. "I understand, I will meet with him. But, what do you want me to do?"
Things have turned out this way, the child is gone. Although it has little to do with her, she is still somewhat involved, and she will try her best to make amends.
Cao Youyou took a deep breath, her voice still choked with sobs, "I just want you to tell him that you no longer hate him, so that he won't blame himself so much and can live a good life. Please, Miss Yan."
"I understand. I will go see him once you feel better."
"No, let me arrange it. Just make time for you. I don't want Mr. He to overthink things," Cao Youyou poked him and murmured.
"Just let me know when you've made the arrangements. Um..." Yan Zuozuo's face flashed with apology. "If you need anything, just let me know. I'm so sorry about what happened today."
Cao Youyou closed her eyes: "Don't say anything more, this matter... can't be blamed on anyone else..."
Yan Zuozuo was at a loss for words. She had originally wanted to stay and take care of Cao Youyou, but Cao Youyou refused. She figured Cao Youyou must have seen her sadness, so she arranged for a special nurse for her.
On the way back, Yan Zuozuo was preoccupied. Chi Moqing reached out and hugged her, "Wife, this matter has little to do with you. You are pregnant now, and bad moods will affect the baby. Let He Cangyuan and Youyou resolve their own issues. This is not something outsiders can interfere with."
Speaking of He Cangyuan, Yan Zuozuo hesitated for a moment, "Honey, I didn't tell you about this before, will you be angry?"
Chi Moqing smiled and said, "I'm only worried about my wife's feelings."
"Then...do you think I should forgive him?"
"My wife already has the answer in her heart, so I naturally support her."
Yan Zuozuo smiled slightly; it was this tacit understanding that meant they didn't need to say anything, their hearts were in sync.
She rested her head on his shoulder: "Honey, thank you."
Chi Moqing smiled and tightened his grip on her.
"Not bad, the color and taste of the coffee are very authentic. Shili has a real talent for brewing coffee." Bai Ningxuan slowly put down the coffee in his hand, his face full of praise.
Tong Shili was a little embarrassed by the praise, as she had never been praised before. "It's all thanks to Mr. Bai's excellent teaching. Compared to your skills, I'm still far behind."
"It's already very good." Bai Ningxuan put down his coffee. "Brewing coffee is not just a technical skill, but also an art. The coffee tastes different depending on your mood. If Shili could calm down, I believe this cup of coffee would taste even better."
Tong Shili lowered her eyes and remained silent.
"Hehe, try the coffee I just brewed, see if it's any different." With that, Bai Ningxuan pushed the coffee he had just brewed in front of her.
Tong Shili paused, picked up the coffee, really wanting to taste it, but suddenly remembered that it was Bai Ningxuan's cup. If she used it, wouldn't that be... an indirect kiss?
Her heart suddenly raced, and she instinctively put down the cup in her hand.
Bai Ningxuan frowned: "What's the problem?"
"No."
"Then why are you so panicked?"
Tong Shili's face fell, and just as she was about to speak, she saw a familiar figure walk in. The person walked straight in and sat down to one side without any ceremony.
A sense of foreboding crossed Tong Shili's mind, and she frowned.
"You don't mind if I come to eat with you, do you?" Yi Fanxi asked Bai Ningxuan.
"I don't mind." Before Bai Ningxuan could speak, Tong Shili spoke first, "Miss Julie has prepared something delicious for you to eat when you get back. Is it inconvenient for Young Master Yi to be here?"
"She'll be here in a bit, just in time to see you and let you know she's safe." Yi Fanxi raised the corners of his mouth. "Would you like to talk to me?"
Bai Ningxuan nodded, then looked at Tong Shili, "I have some business to discuss with him, please wait a moment."
Tong Shili frowned as she watched Bai Ningxuan and Yi Fanxi leave. What could Yi Fanxi possibly talk about with Bai Ningxuan? If she told him about her relationship with Master J, how would Bai Ningxuan view her?
In the study, Yi Fanxi stared at the leisurely man before him, his eyes sharp as an eagle's. Bai Ningxuan had always been a man who hid himself very well; even he often couldn't see through him.
"You like Tong Shili?" Yi Fanxi asked bluntly.
Bai Ningxuan's smile deepened: "She's a very individualistic woman, but inside she lives a perpetually insecure girl. It's quite interesting."
"Yes or no." He wasn't there to listen to him beat around the bush.
Bai Ningxuan paused, a meaningful smile on his face, "That's the question I should be asking you: Are you serious about Miss? If so, stay away from other women!"
If Yi Fanxi dares to wrong Miss Zhu Xi, he will absolutely not show any mercy.
Yi Fanxi narrowed his eyes: "You approached her because of Juliet?"
Bai Ningxuan waved his finger in front of him: "You're too nervous. If this continues, I'll start to suspect that you actually like Tong Shili." He glanced at Yi Fanxi, then suddenly said seriously, "Let's get straight to the point. What are your thoughts on Tong Shili?"
“Family ties, family.” Yi Fanxi stared straight at him. “It’s your turn.”
"Family is the best. If there were other feelings involved, we brothers would probably have to fall out and become rivals again." Bai Ningxuan smiled slightly. "I have to admit, she is very attractive to me."
Yi Fanxi looked at him quietly, as if assessing the credibility of his words, "How much do you know about her?"
"It won't be less than yours."
Yi Fanxi's deep eyes seemed thoughtful. Now it seems that Bai Ningxuan actually knew Tong Shili's identity? Given his hatred for Master J, didn't he have any intention of using Tong Shili?
Seeing Yi Fanxi's expression change slightly, Bai Ningxuan spoke more confidently, "Since she is the woman I have chosen, I have my own ways to make her completely belong to me. As for those things beyond my control, I will handle them."
"That's good." Yi Fanxi smiled. "It's been a long time since I've had your cooking. You don't mind cooking for me today, do you?"
He recalled that the last time he tasted Bai Ningxuan's cooking was before graduation. In the blink of an eye, several years have passed. Time flies.
"Of course, it would be my honor to serve my future son-in-law." Bai Ningxuan smiled, got up to pour some wine, and said, "Shall we celebrate?"
"Celebrating is of course fine, but let me make this clear beforehand. It would be best if you were serious about Tong Shili, but if I ever find out that you have other intentions, don't blame me for not showing any mercy."
Bai Ningxuan laughed heartily: "That's what I wanted to say too. Treat Miss Judy well. Cheers!"
When the two came downstairs, Juliet was already there. She was sitting in the living room chatting with Tong Shili, and she seemed very interested, her thoughts written all over her face. Tong Shili, on the other hand, had no expression, and seemed uninterested in Juliet's conversation.
"Fanfan." As soon as Julie saw Yi Fanxi, she pounced on him like a cat seeing dried fish.
A rare gentle look appeared on Yi Fanxi's face: "They're here. Mr. Bai is cooking for us today, we're in for a treat."
Upon hearing this, Judy's eyes lit up immediately. "Really? Xuanxuan, I absolutely adore you! I want to learn from you and be your helper."
Bai Ningxuan slapped his forehead, looking like he wanted to die. "I say, Miss, please spare me. For everyone's sake, you should just stay quietly by Young Master Yi's side and behave yourself."
"What the hell?" Julie stomped her foot angrily and looked at Yi Fanxi with a wronged expression. "You can prove to me that my cooking skills have improved a lot recently."
Yi Fanxi chuckled softly, affectionately patting her head as if teasing a little pet. "You've indeed made great progress. You steamed the vegetables on top of the rice together, saying that's how the teacher taught the rice bowl recipe. But it's cooked through."
Upon hearing this, Bai Ningxuan couldn't help but burst into laughter, while Judy was practically in tears. They were all bad people, how dare they bully her!
On the sofa, watching their cheerful interaction, Tong Shili felt a sense of suffocation. This environment was not suitable for her; she should leave first.
Just then, her phone rang. She glanced down at the unfamiliar number, and her heart skipped a beat.
She clenched her fist and said, "I have to go now, you guys eat."
"Hey? Let's eat together, Shili. Aren't you with my Xuanxuan? You'll be my sister-in-law from now on, right? Stay and eat." As she spoke, she pinched Bai Ningxuan hard. "Say something, you idiot."
A dark, unfathomable light flashed in Bai Ningxuan's eyes, but when he looked up, his face was full of smiles. "Stay and eat with us. It'll be more lively with more people."
When Tong Shili met Bai Ningxuan's sincere gaze, her heart softened. After a moment's hesitation, she abruptly ended the call. "Is there anything I can help you with?"
"Ah, my Xuanxuan's words carry weight. No need for help, let him handle his own business. Let's continue chatting." Zhu Xi continued her endless chatter while holding a fashion magazine, while Tong Shili's heart was in her throat, still thinking about the caller ID from earlier.
