Chapter 499: Never Lie To You (1)

Su Jifeng looked at Su He’s eyes, which were filled with the gaze of pleading and expectation, and his heart ached fiercely. The little girl that he had doted on for so many years, the little girl that he had never borne to let her suffer any harm or grievance, had now suffered such a great pain inflicted by some man. What’s more, she was putting on such a humble look in front of him!

“Okay. I will help you. This baby is yours. No one can take it away from you. Su Jifeng stroked Su He’s head and assured her in a gentle voice.

His gentle voice gave Su He a great sense of security. Su He lightly responded, though her hands that were hugging Su Jifeng’s waist did not loosen even a little bit.

Su Jifeng could see that Su He was feeling tired. His hand that was stroking Su He’s head subconsciously lightened a lot. He said softly, “Are you feeling tired? Get some sleep. Don’t worry about anything. I am here. Good girl. Everything will be solved when you wake up, Xiao Qi.”

Su Jifeng’s voice carried a hint of obvious coaxing and enchantment, which easily relaxed Su He.

The fact that Su He had just been in the emergency room and just nearly had a miscarriage, and had cried loudly without a care in the world, her body, which was already weak, was no longer able to hold on much longer. Su Jifeng’s low coaxing had collapsed the last bits of her fortress. She fell back into sleep soon.

Su Jifeng looked at his sister who was fast asleep in his arms. He recalled the scene when he saw Ye Yan at the entrance of the emergency room. A cold light flashed in his eyes.

When Su He woke up again, Su Jifeng was no longer in the ward. There were two other people standing beside her bed.

“Xiao He, you’re awake? Are you hungry?”

Su He was stunned. Her head, which was still a little confused, sobered up in a flash. “Li, and…”

She recalled that she had been sent to the hospital by them together. So it was clear as day that these two people standing in front of her had known her identity now, and had found out that she had been approaching them with ulterior motives since the beginning.

“General Manager, I…”

“You can just call me by my name.” Zhao Youlin opened her mouth and interrupted her. “In a few days, you would probably address me as your cousin-in-law too. Addressing me as general manager seems too distant.”

Just a few simple sentences had already expressed that Zhao Youlin had found out about her identity and learned about her relationship with Mu Tingfeng!

Su He’s expression changed slightly, not because of what Zhao Youlin said, but because of her ambiguous attitude toward her.

“I…”

Zhao Youlin took in Su He’s conflicted look. A smile flashed her eyes, though it disappeared instantly. The initial calmness returned to her eyes quickly. She interrupted Su He again and said in a low voice. “So many hours have passed. You must be hungry now, aren’t you?”

“Oh, actually I…”

*Growl. Su He was about to politely decline, but her stomach gave a timely protest, which sold its master out and turned to support Zhao Youlin.

Su He was speechless.

The smile within Zhao Youlin’s eyes emerged again. “Even if you are not hungry, you should at least think about the baby inside your stomach. You have to understand that you are not alone now. Adults are fine with skipping one or two meals, but babies could not stand hunger. This chicken soup had been especially boiled overnight by the cook at Tingfeng’s house. It’s the right time to drink it now.

Su He was stunned for a second. She turned her head to look at the sky outside, only to replace that the sunlight outside was just right. The sunlight was incredibly bright and illuminated the ward, signaling the vitality of life in the early morning with its unique way.

Early morning? Was it early in the morning already? Su He was shocked by this realization. She remembered that she had been taken to the hospital yesterday in the afternoon. When she woke up and talked to her brother, the sky was only just about to darken.

So basically, she had slept for more than ten hours? No wonder her head was so heavy, but she felt so hungry!

Su He had no reason to turn down Zhao Youlin. She obediently took over the white porridge and chicken soup she handed to her and ate one mouthful at a time, though her eyes still glanced at the two women from time to time. There were several times when it seemed like she was about to say something, but she stopped herself before she could say it out. She frowned as if she was thinking of how to take the initiative to say something and break off the somewhat stiff and heavy ambiance between them.

“So, have you guys eaten? Would you like to eat it together?” After hesitating for quite a long time, Su He finally plucked up her courage and asked them.

Upon hearing that, Li swallowed a mouthful of saliva with some difficulty. She was staring at the bowl of chicken soup Su He was holding with gleaming eyes. What she was thinking of was self-evident.

Zhao Youlin rolled her eyes at her in a speechless manner. Before they came, she had already eaten two big buns and a big bowl of porridge. How could she still be thinking about eating? She wondered how her small body could take in all this food!

Zhao Youlin let out a light cough in time to warn the foodie, who was staring intently at the chicken soup. Li stiffened. Then, she carefully and lingeringly withdrew her gaze from the chicken soup. Somehow, she just seemed a little… pitiful.

When Su He saw that, she asked hastily, “Li, have you not had breakfast yet? There is a lot of soup here. Would you like to share?”

Before Su He could finish her words, Zhao Youlin had already cut her off. “It’s fine. We have already eaten something before we came here. These are prepared specially for you and the baby. Drink it now.”

Although Li was a foodie, she was not so uncouth to the point that she would snatch away food from a pregnant woman. At the moment, she nodded concurrently and said in a low voice, “We have eaten before we came, Xiao He, go on and eat up. Don’t mind us.”

Su He did not know what to say.

Su He smiled awkwardly and continued to drink the soup in a small mouthful. She did not dare to look up at all to see the expressions on the faces of the two women.

Their attitudes made her heart, which was already feeling unsettling, grew even more perturbed.

It was true that she had approached Zhao Youlin and the others with the intention to take advantage of them in the beginning. However, after spending time together for so long, and the fact that they had been so nice to her, she was not a cold-blooded person, how could she not care about them?

After finishing the white porridge and chicken soup brought by Zhao Yulin, Su He sat on top of the hospital bed in a disciplined manner. She was acting like a child who had made a mistake and was waiting for her parents to punish her.

When Zhao Youlin saw her acting like this, she finally could not help but burst out laughing. Under Su He’s surprised gaze, she finally could no longer keep up a serious face. She restored her usual relaxed smile when she was with them. “Xiao He, now you look like a child. You have always been so austere most of the time, like a kid pretending to be an adult. It’s cute when you’re acting like that, but it is even cuter if you can soften up sometimes, like what you are doing right now!”

Having said that, it was as if she had thought of something, she suddenly heaved a sigh and said, “You are still a kid yourself. Yet you are now carrying a kid inside now.”

When Li, who was standing behind Zhao Youlin, heard her words, she subconsciously turned her head to look at Zhao Youlin’s face, which did not look much bigger than Xiao He.

When she thought about Zhao Youlin’s little boy, who was turning five years old. She could not help but mock her internally, ‘General Manager, you are the one to talk. You are actually not better than Xiao He, okay? No, to be precise, you are more over-the-top than she is!’
