Chapter 51

"Ruo Ruo, get up to eat dinner, mom made your favorite little cakes."

Ling Chujin sat at the bedside, her eyes full of distress, and gently called out.

By now night had already fallen, and in just a short while, she had aged considerably.

In her hands was the small cake that the little one had wanted more bites of just a little while ago, but was refused.

Looking at her daughter still lying there quietly on the bed, her heart was filled with lingering fear.

Originally the couple had wanted to directly take the child away, but it suddenly started pouring rain outside, even for an airplane, it was a bit risky.

Plus the doctor who had come along, after simply getting to know the situation, also felt that they should not move her for the time being.

He said that the child may have been frightened earlier, and without external injuries, sleeping soundly and waking up would actually be better. What needed attention was whether the child started crying halfway through her sleep.

So the whole afternoon, the couple stared at their daughter without even blinking their eyes, chatting with the child from time to time.

Letting the child know that mom and dad were by her side, she was safe now.

Knock knock.

There was a knock at the door, the couple looked back, it was Ji Mochen's agent, Brother Qin.

"Brother Qin, what's the matter?" Ji Mochen's voice was low.

"The show has announced a temporary hiatus, the Fan family and the Geng family took the children and are waiting outside, you see..."

"Ruo Ruo is still resting." Ji Mochen interrupted coldly, "And I don't have time to settle accounts with them right now, let them go back."

With a helpless sigh, Brother Qin wanted to say something, but could only reluctantly go out with a stiff scalp. At least, before Ruo Ruo woke up, the relationship between the two sides could not be too rigid.

Ji Mochen gave a cold snort as he turned and walked into the room, and it was at this moment that Ji Ruo Chu woke up.

The little one seemed to have been sleepy, her two little hands clenched into fists. After a long while, she finally opened her eyes with difficulty.

That kind of feeling, how to put it... it was like taking too long of an afternoon nap and waking up feeling exhausted and heavy all over. Seeing this, Ling Chujin immediately picked up the wrung towel to wipe her daughter's face, and wiped her hands too.

Feeling the warm towel gently wiping her cheeks little by little, Ji Ruo Chu gave up on opening her eyes which were stuck together, her little voice soft:

"Mommy?"

"It's mommy." Looking at her daughter's soft and cute appearance, Ling Chujin's heart melted into water. "My clever girl, you guessed right away that it was me."

"Humph~" The little one pouted. "Daddy is too rough!"

At this moment, Ji Mochen had just stepped into the room with one foot. Although his daughter had stabbed him in the back again, the smile on his face was extremely brilliant.

"My girl is awake!"

"Mm-hmm~"

Ji Ruo Chu was finally fully awake. She sat up in bed, although she had already guessed the situation, she still looked at Ling Chujin doubtfully and asked:

"How come mommy is here?"

After speaking, she pointed at the woman's somewhat red eyes: "Mommy cried?"

The couple's expressions froze for a moment, and after looking at their daughter's bright eyes, they finally said:

"Yes, mommy hasn't seen Ruo Ruo for a week, and then heard that Ruo Ruo fell into the water, I was too worried."

Saying so, Ling Chujin's eyes brimmed red again.

"Mommy don't be afraid." Ji Ruo Chu immediately hugged her neck, and patted her back comfortingly, "Ruo Ruo is fine, Ruo Ruo is not afraid."

Hearing their daughter's sensible words, the couple's noses soured.

"Daddy was scared too." Ji Mochen licked his lips as he leaned in, "I need Ruo Ruo to hug me too."

"......" Ji Ruo Chu was instantly choked, unable to restrain the disgusted expression on her face for a moment.

"Oh wow, my girl is disdaining me again!" The old father's heart was shattered, "I knew it, you and mommy are the closest, with mommy here, daddy is not needed anymore..."

Having no choice, Ji Ruo Chu still perfunctorily hugged the pitiful old father for a bit.

Thinking of what would become of this couple in the original world afterwards, to be honest, she felt bad for them too.

In the future... I should still be a little nicer to this old dad.

"Gulu gulu~"

A hollow rumbling sound broke the warm atmosphere in an instant, and the couple immediately busied themselves. Ling Chujin took the dishes from earlier to heat up, while Ji Mochen still wanted to brush his daughter's teeth himself, but was flatly rejected.

But this did not prevent him from sitting on a small stool without blinking as he watched his precious daughter brush her teeth. By the time Ji Ruo Chu finally finished her piping hot dinner, the Ji family's private doctor came to examine her again.

"The child is fine in every way. Pay attention tonight to see if she has nightmares or a fever; if not, then there is basically no problem."

The rain continued to drizzle outside, and the dangling hearts of the couple finally settled. Ji Ruo Chu had her big eyes wide open the whole time, looking back and forth between the doctor and her parents, extremely well-behaved.

"As long as she's alright." Ling Chujin hugged her daughter in her arms, unable to resist kissing her soft little cheek.

Ji Ruo Chu smiled sweetly, and just as she was about to say something, from the corner of her eye she noticed four little heads squeezed together by the window.

The four little ones had obviously seen her too, somewhat excitedly waving stealthily at her. Fan Jin and Geng Zhenzhen had red eyes, happy yet afraid when they saw their little sister look over.

Ji Ruo Chu blinked her eyes, smiling brightly as she waved back at her little friends: "Brother Fan Jin, Sister Zhen Zhen, Sister Zi Qing, Brother Xin Di, are you guys here to play with me?"

As soon as she said this, the people in the room instantly jerked their heads around. The children were given a shock, at a loss as for what to do, when Ji Ruo Chu had already crawled to the window hands and knees, carefully opening the window and saying to her little friends:

"It's raining outside, brothers and sisters come inside quickly~ you'll get sick if you get drenched!"

The few children's eyes lit up: they could go inside?

Then they seemed to think of something, looking towards Uncle Ji behind their little sister. Their dads had brought them over a few times before, but they were never allowed into the room, being told that little sister was resting.

"Daddy, mommy, can I invite my good friends in to play?" The little one turned her head, face full of innocence as she asked.

Can they?

Ji Mochen really wanted to say no, but in the end reluctantly nodded under his daughter's gaze: "Yes."

"Yay~!"

The few children outside were extremely delighted, immediately running into the room.

"But you can only play for a little while, okay?"

"Okay~!"

After getting her daughter's promise, Ji Mochen left with the doctor, leaving Ling Chujin to keep watch inside the room.

"Little sister Ruo Ruo! Are you hurt anywhere?" Fan Jin was very worried, his face full of guilt. "It's all because of me, I harmed you. Go on, hit me!"

Saying so, Fan Jin actually turned around, and only then did Ji Ruo Chu see that he had a soft vine tied behind his back.

"I tried it, this one hurts the most when hit, and takes no effort at all. Little sister, use this to hit me! Beat me to death!"

Ji Ruo Chu: ......There's no need to go that far.

At the side, Ling Chujin also couldn't help showing a smile, but did not say anything, just watching quietly.
