"You didn't eat properly, vomited everything you ate. I was worried you will feel sick,'' He stroked her hair.
''I do feel a bit weak but it should be food poisoning or something like that. I didn't eat properly yesterday, maybe that's why I threw up after having a bit,'' She blinked.
Later after she threw up, the doctor had performed a few tests under Jun Zixuan's freezing gaze. She sighed at the thought of it.
''We will know when the blood test report is out,'' he leaned closer to her and pressed a soft kiss on her forehead.
Yu Mei looked at him before she nodded, ''But I am sure it's nothing serious. I am not a sickly person for you to worry like this,'' She ruffled his hair, ''Go take a shower first. I will get our food arranged and later, we will get the reports.''
Jun Zixuan nodded as he looked at her. He passed her the phone before walking inside the bathroom after getting his clothes from the bags on the couch.
Looking at his retreating back, Yu Mei sighed in relief. She did not know what she would have done if he continued being stubborn.
She sighed again. The worries that she had placed in the back of her head came rising again and her thoughts drifted off to Han Family. Do they know? Even if they do, they should not have heard the conversation between her and Han Jingyi right? While Han Jingyi was blatantly admitting everything but she had only whispered a few sensitive things like how she had killed some of those mercenaries. So, they should not have heard anything about that.
But do they know…that she was their daughter? Were they aware of it or the live recording was just a bluff?
Many things occupied her thoughts. On one hand, there was a tinge of anticipation in her heart but at the same time, she did not want them to know, knowing that her brother did not want to go back to the family and neither did she want a line between them.
After having their breakfast together, Yu Mei went to get dressed properly. She was supposed to be discharged in some time and she could not wait to get rid of the hospital gown.
Jun Zixuan went out of the room to make a call while Yu Mei was getting changed.
"Chief,'' A doctor called out as he made his way towards Jun Zixuan.
Since this was the military hospital, the people here addressed Jun Zixuan as such.
Jun Zixuan tilted his head to the side. He hung up the call noticing that it was Yu Mei's attending doctor, ''Is everything fine?" He asked, noticing the reports in her hand.
''Chief, it is actually…'' The doctor sighed.
Jun Zixuan frowned.
…
Later in the day by the time Jun Zixuan and Yu Mei were back to Ren Mansion, Yu Mei noticed some people going in and out of a room on the upper floor, ''What's going on?" She asked the man who held her hand and led her to the couch.
''Some renovation,'' Jun Zixuan answered, ''You want to eat something?" He asked her.
''Ice cream would do,'' She softly said, stroking the cast on her neck, ''Is Mia back yet?''
''No, perhaps she needs space. But I will send someone to look for her,'' Jun Zixuan stroked her hair adjusting the sleeve of her dress before he smiled.
Yu Mei looked at him with a weird gaze, ''Why are you smiling?"
''I can't?"
''Uh… you can,'' That smile was ultimately deadly to women, ''Just smile for me and to me only.''
"Who else do you think I am smiling for?" He raised an eyebrow.
She blinked. ''Cough… What I mean is… You have been smiling all our way back to Ren Mansion…'' And this mysterious smile of his was making her curious.
Jun Zixuan paused, ''That's because…''
"Master,'' Steward Gu walked towards them, ''Apologies for interrupting but…'' he hesitated.
''Yes?" Both Jun Zixuan and Yu Mei glanced at him questioningly.
"Master Han and Madam Han are outside.''
Already having expected this, Jun Zixuan nodded at Steward Gu who turned bowed and left to welcome them inside.
Yu Mei's expressions shifted slightly and she slumped on the couch.
Jun Zixuan stroked her hair, ''Don't worry, it will be fine.''
''I feel nervous,'' she grabbed his palm quietly, ''And I don't know how to…act and what to say.''
''You just have to be yourself. The rest will be fine,'' Jun Zixuan said, "I will be there. Don't worry.''
…
''I am fine… I am not hurt…'' Yu Mei coaxed the woman who was clinging to her hand, bawling her eyes out. That's not what Yu Mei thought she would say or do when she heard that her biological parents were here but then, her life itself was into all sorts of unexpected things so she should have known better than assuming or expecting anything.
''Why is there a cast then?" Han Suyin paused, looked at the cast on her neck quietly for some time as she sobbed softly but soon her eyes started tearing up again as she cried.
Yu Mei was caught between laughter and tears but she felt a warmth enveloping her heart because of the care in her eyes, ''Maybe this is where I got my crybaby traits from,'' She softly said as she hugged Han Suyin, stroking her back.
Jun Zixuan leaned back on the desk on the study, a soft smile playing on his lips at her words. He was the one who called her a crybaby most of the time.
Han Jing sat on the single couch, looking at the mother and daughter duo quietly.
After some time, Han Suyin finally calmed down.
Jun Zixuan picked up the box of tissues from the drawer before he walked towards them, handing her some tissues.
Han Suyin smiled at him before taking a few tissues, feeling a little embarrassed for crying like that. It was her first time meeting her daughter and son-in-law as a mother but she lost her calm.
She was certain that she had not cried this much in years as much as she cried just in the past 48 hours but everything that she came to know had taken a toll on her mind and she could not hold it in despite trying to.
