Chapter 129: Chapter 111: This One Needle Could Lead to One Corpse and Two Lives
Ke Dancheng was a bit reluctant, but he still gave the sandwich he had planned to eat himself to the little greedy cat.
His container also had some pan-fried fish crisps, which he gave to Xiao Juzi as well.
’Sigh, in the end, the food he’d saved from Mrs. Bao was all given back to her son!’
’What kind of damn cycle is this!’
Seeing Xiao Juzi eat with such relish, Ling Yunyun’s mouth started to water, and she found herself craving some too.
She couldn’t help but ask, "Is it good?"
Xiao Juzi nodded. "My mommy’s cooking is the best! Auntie, do you want to try some?"
Ling Yunyun wanted to try.
She took a piece of the fish crisp from Xiao Juzi’s little hand and carefully put it in her mouth.
She didn’t feel nauseous.
She tried chewing it. A satisfying CRUNCH echoed as her mouth filled with a savory, crispy flavor. Even the bones were delicious!
Ling Yunyun was amazed and couldn’t help but start chewing faster.
Seeing her expression light up, Xiao Juzi seemed to catch her enthusiasm and said with a cherubic smile, "See? I wasn’t lying!"
Seeing that his aunt could finally eat something, Ke Dancheng froze for a moment, then excitedly held out the entire container to Ling Yunyun. He even broke off half of the sandwich for her.
"Auntie, try this!"
Ling Yunyun took a bite. She could eat the sandwich, too!
Nearby, Lin Zhenxiang was baffled.
’She didn’t think her own cooking was that bad, so why was it that Mrs. Luo couldn’t stomach her food?’
Noticing Ling Yunyun devouring the food as if she were starving, Xiao Juzi looked at the rest of the sandwich in his hand, hesitated for a moment, and then generously offered it to her.
"Auntie, you can have this too~"
Feeling rather pathetic, Ling Yunyun took the sandwich and mumbled a "thank you" in embarrassment.
Seeing that her appetite had improved so much, Lin Zhenxiang seized the opportunity to curry favor. She held up her thermal lunch box and said to Ling Yunyun:
"Mrs. Luo, if that’s not enough, I have more here!"
Ling Yunyun looked horrified, as if she’d just heard a ghost story. She quickly waved her hands in refusal.
"No, no! Just thinking about the smell of that fish soup makes my stomach turn!"
Lin Zhenxiang froze, unable to understand.
’What was wrong with the food she brought?’
’Was it really not as good as the leftovers from some kid’s sandwich?’
Ling Yunyun drank some water that Ke Dancheng poured for her, feeling instantly refreshed in body and mind. She hadn’t felt this at ease in over two months, not since getting pregnant.
’I feel like I don’t even need this nutrient IV anymore.’
Ling Yunyun said, "Dancheng, go ask Dean Wen for me if they can remove this IV tube."
"Okay."
Before leaving, Ke Dancheng told Xiao Juzi not to run off and to wait here obediently for his mother to arrive.
Even after the little guy agreed, he was still uneasy and asked his aunt to keep a close eye on Xiao Juzi.
Dean Wen followed Ke Dancheng to the hospital room and was surprised to see Ling Yunyun in such high spirits.
Hearing that she had managed to eat something again, Dean Wen couldn’t help but be impressed with Lin Zhenxiang. He assumed Ling Yunyun had eaten the food Lin Zhenxiang brought.
Seeing that the adults were too busy to pay him any mind, Xiao Juzi waved to Ling Yunyun.
"Bye-bye, Auntie! I’m going to find my mommy~"
Ke Dancheng stopped him. "I told your mom you were here. She’ll be here any minute."
"This child..." Dean Wen trailed off, lost in thought as he looked at Xiao Juzi’s ears and tail.
Just then, a chilling voice called out from outside the door.
"Xiao... Ju... zi!"
Like a startled little animal, Xiao Juzi was so scared his fur stood on end.
The moment Shu Yao appeared, he made a preemptive move to charm her. He threw his small arms around his mother’s leg, wagging his tail and putting on a cute act to get on her good side.
"Hee hee, Mommy~"
Shu Yao picked him up with one hand and gave his bottom a smack with the other.
’If you don’t listen and run around, you deserve a spanking!’
Ling Yunyun’s heart ached for him, but in her position, she had no right to defend the child.
Qin Songlin arrived soon after.
Even though he wore a mask that covered most of his face, Dean Wen recognized him at a glance.
"Your Maj—" Cut off by a glare from the Emperor, Dean Wen immediately changed his tune. "We haven’t seen each other since graduation, have we, old classmate!"
"Old Wen!" Qin Songlin played along. "Hahaha, it has been a long time! I can’t believe I’d run into you here!"
Shu Yao glanced at the two of them, seriously suspecting they took everyone else for fools.
’They were both wearing white coats and were at Imperial Hospital at the same time. They were obviously colleagues who worked together.’
’What’s this nonsense about not seeing each other since graduation? And what’s with pretending to have a chance encounter when you work in the same place?’
"Sis—" Qin Songlin almost let Shu Yao’s hidden identity slip, but he caught himself just in time and pleaded on Xiao Juzi’s behalf. "It’s good that the little guy is found! You don’t have to hit him anymore~"
