CHAPTER 397
The weekend pans they agreed on had to be cancelled. First of all, Bai Renxiang had issues concerning her company bugging her. They were all together at Li Fengjin's house. Just chatting kike normal when Ye Chaoxiang's phone rang.
"Hello, mum. Good morning," Ye Chaoxiang greeted with a smile. It had been about three weeks since he had talked to his mother.
"Son, you have to come home," Mrs Ye did not even bother exchanging pleasantries.
Ye Chaoxiang's brows furrowed and his smile dropped. He sat up straight on the couch. His sudden drastic change gained the attention of everyone.
"Mum, what is the matter?"
"I... Please, come home, son. It is Lee Ai. She is..."
"Mum, what is wrong with Lee Ai?" Ye Chaoxiang abruptly stood up from the couch.
"She is... She is unwell. Little Ai is sick. Badly sick for a week without any response. I'm scared son," Mrs Ye broke down on the phone.
"WHAT?!" Ye Chaoxiang roared. "For a week? Why the hell did you not tell me?"
Sensing things might be bad, Li Fengjin and Yang Chen walked toward their angry friend.
"We thought it was just one of her high fever or cold or something. We followed everything you told us to and even called a doctor over to check on her. But she is not responding to the treatment. So your mother called you. We are sorry for the delay," Mr Ye took over the explanation from his crying wife.
"But dad... Oh, God! Take care of her. I am coming back there right now..."
"Damn it!" Ye Chaoxiang cursed out loud.
"Chaoxiang, what happened?" Li Fengjin asked.
"I need to go travel back home and now," he said.
"Huh?" Ning Xiaozhi looked shocked.
"Lee Ai has been sick for a week and she is not responding to treatment. I need to go right now."
"Oh no!" Bai Renxiang and everyone else were blown.
This news was bad and too unexpected. A week? That is a lot of time and for the child to not respond to any treatment, was another thing.
"Xiaozhi, I'm sorry about cancelling our other plans. But this is urgent," Ye Chaoxiang apologised.
"You are still thinking about us now. Hurry up and fly back to treat Little Ai," Ning Xiaozhi scolded him.
"I'm sorry. Thank you. Uhm, take care of yourself. Fengjin, Chen, please take care of her in my absence."
"No problem. Come on, let me drive you back home is that you can grab some things," Yang Chen offered to help.
"No. There is no need. I am going straight to the airport because there is nothing I need to take with me. I gotta go," Ye Chaoxiang dashed out of the house with Li Fengjin following suit.
"Yimo!"
"Yes, boss," an average-looking man rushed to his boss at the sound of his name.
"Drive Chaoxiang to the airport. Be as fast as you can but be careful," Li Fengjin ordered.
"Yes, boss," Yimo nodded.
"Chaoxiang, you can't drive like that. Let, Yimo take you to the airport and return your car, will you?"
Ye Chaoxiang just waved as he almost jumped into the car since Yimo had already opened the door for him. Before Li Fengjin could say Jack Robbinson, the car had driven out of the compound after a loud drifting sound of screeching wheels.
Li Fengjin shook his head. This was one of the reasons he like his driver. He knew how we'll follow orders. Seeing that they had left, he prayed for his lollipop to be alright before he went back into the mansion.
"Did he drive by himself?" Ning Xiaozhi asked with worry.
"No," Li Fengjin shook his head. "I asked my driver to take him to the airport."
"Sigh. Thank God," she sighed in relief.
"Poor Lee Ai. And she is such an angel," Yi Changying shook her head.
"She is. I hope Ye Chaoxiang can handle this just kike he used to," Yang Chen rubbed his palm together.
"Wait she gets this sick all the time?" Bai Renxiang asked.
"Yes. But not like this. I mean, she is kind of a sickly child but Chaoxiang has been able to keep her health from degrading," Li Fengjin answered.
"According to what he discovered, little Ai gets sick more often than children her age. But I doubt if something like this has ever happened since she was last discharged," Yang Chen added.
"Mummy, does that mean that little Ai will not recover?" Bai Xiaojin asked.
"Oh no, baby. She will recover as far as your uncle Chaoxiang treats her. She will be fine," Bai Renxiang caressed his hair.
"I have never seen Chaoxiang this worried. I don't want anything too serious to happen to that girl. I bet he will break," Ning Xiaozhi voiced out her thoughts.
"Those two share a wonderful bond. He will not take it well if things end up pretty bad. But he will come around with your help, Xiaozhi," Li Fengjin assured her.
"Yeah. From what I know, both of you are his life source. Also, Chaoxiang is very skilled in the medical field. He can take good care of little Ai's ailment," Yang Chen said.
"I believe he will," Ning Xiaozhi nodded.
Li Fengjin and Yang Chen smiled at her. It was not a normal smile. Ning Xiaozhi could feel that there was a meaning behind it.
"Why are you guys smiling at me like that?" She asked.
"Well, it is because we are just happy that our friend found a fantastic girlfriend, right Fengjin?"
"Right. And aunt and uncle Ye we're worried no one would marry him because he has a daughter," Li Fengjin chucked.
"What? Why would no one want to marry such a handsome, hardworking, caring guy? If no one will, then I definitely would. Plus, his daughter is so adorable. How can no one want such an angel?" Ning Xiaozhi waves her hands?
Li Fengjin: "Sounds like uncle and aunt will not have to worry much."
Yang Chen: "Chaoxiang has found his wife."
