Soon, Gu Ruochu and Huo Nanchen arrived at the hospital. Cheng Xi was in the VIP ward on the third floor. When they entered the ward, they saw a gentleman dressed in a sharp suit feeding Cheng Xi.
"President Huo, Young Madam." The man took a few steps back expressionlessly.
"Daddy!" Cheng Xi's eyes lit up when he saw Huo Nanchen.
Cheng Xi almost fell as he scrambled towards Huo Nanchen. He held onto Huo Nanchen's leg and raised his head towards him as he whispered, "Daddy, where did everyone go? Why did you leave me here alone?"
Originally, Cheng Xi was happy because his mother and his grandparents were by his side at the hospital.
However, when he woke up, everyone had left. Some unfamiliar, strange men were attending to him.
But after seeing Huo Nanchen, Cheng Xi felt at ease again.
"Don't run around. You should take care of your shoulder." Huo Nanchen looked at the cast on Cheng Xi's hand and felt sorry for him. "Grandpa and grandma have some matters to attend to, so I decided to come and keep you company."
Cheng Xi nodded and did not ask any more questions.
His gaze then fell on Gu Ruochu, who was standing behind Huo Nanchen. He looked at her with a mixture of curiosity and shyness. "Hello, Big Sister."
"Hello." Gu Ruochu was charmed by Cheng Xi's reaction. She took out the airplane toy she had bought and patted his head as she gave it to him. "I bought this for you."
"Thank you." Cheng Xi's voice was tender and polite. He took the toy and held it in his arms. "Big Sister, you're so beautiful. You're the most beautiful lady I've ever seen."
The smile on Gu Ruochu's face widened when she heard Cheng Xi's praise.
"You're so sweet."
Children at Cheng Xi's age were usually mischievous. Most of them were naughty and vulgar.
However, Cheng Xi was different. He was very likable.
'Big Sister?'
Huo Nanchen's brows twitched when he heard Cheng Xi address Gu Ruochu as his sister.
Huo Nanchen thought it was strange. Cheng Xi called him daddy, but he was addressing his wife as his sister.
"Cheng Xi, this is your aunt."
Huo Nanchen picked up Cheng Xi, who severely shook his head. "No, Daddy. This is clearly my sister. How could she be my aunt?"
"She's Daddy's wife. Is calling her your sister appropriate?" Huo Nanchen corrected Cheng Xi patiently.
Gu Ruochu was speechless.
She watched closely as Huo Nanchen interacted with the child. It was the first time she had seen him so patient and gentle.
Gu Ruochu patted Cheng Xi tenderly and chuckled, "You can call me whatever you want. It's up to you to decide."
"Okay, Aunt," Cheng Xi replied affectionately.
Gu Ruochu smiled at Cheng Xi. The child was good at charming her.
A huge grin also appeared on Huo Nanchen's thin lips.
"..."
When Ning Tangxi came out of Zhang Yuan's ward, she walked along the hospital corridor and answered her phone in a low voice. "What's the matter?"
"Madam Ning, President Huo and his wife are in Country M. They are in Cheng Xi's ward and are playing with him as we speak."
"Gu Ruochu?" Ning Tangxi furrowed her brows. Her hatred for Gu Ruochu had increased rapidly over the last few days.
"Yes."
Ning Tangxi was in shock. Gu Ruochu seemed to be involved in every aspect of her life. She had already stolen Huo Nanchen from her, and she was the reason why her parents had gotten into a huge fight.
Ning Tangxi's anger began to rise.
The hatred in her heart was like a fatal poison, and her anger towards Gu Ruochu was almost at the point of destroying her rationality.
"Let her enjoy her time with Huo Nanchen," Ning Tangxi laughed coldly. "I've already said that their relationship will come to an end. Unfortunately, Gu Ruochu doesn't seem to believe me!"
"Madam Ning?"
"Don't bother me anymore." Ning Tangxi hung up the phone and returned to Zhang Yuan's ward.
