On the other end of the phone, Lin Chen had a ltdown, "Are you, you, you, you, you poisonous! Are you, you, you, you, you walking your dog in the middle of the night?!"
Xia Wan’an, who had been in a complicated mood, was instantly amused by Lin Chen’s words, "...Lin Er Gongzi, the new na you’ve given yourself is quite nice."
Lin Chen not only failed to grasp the aning of Xia Wan’an’s words but his attention was successfully captured by her, "What new na? When did I give myself a new na?"
Xia Wan’an: "..." What to do? Once again, she beca worried for the future of the Lin Family Enterprise...
"Little Chairman, you need to clarify your words. You’re making feel all unsettled; it’s so uncomfortable. When did I give myself a new na, Little Chairman..."
Xia Wan’an’s headache worsened from the noise, "Dog walking."
Lin Chen: "..."
Lin Chen: "Little Chairman, that’s too much! You, you, you are too bullying, I, I, I..."
Faced with Lin Chen’s blustering anger, Xia Wan’an responded with extre calmness, "You should have just co to pick up. I’m going to collect my luggage, and by the way, give Auntie Wen a call..."
As the words "Auntie Wen" fell from Xia Wan’an’s lips, Lin Chen on the other end of the phone instantly lost his bluster, "Woof, woof, woof!"
Xia Wan’an: "..." Sorry, she conceded. What was that saying again? Often feeling inferior because one isn’t foolish enough.
...
After Xia Wan’an had reclaid her luggage from the baggage claim, Lin Chen’s car had already arrived at the airport pickup area.
After getting into the car, Xia Wan’an imdiately called Auntie Wen, thoroughly explaining her decision to stay.
After listening, Auntie Wen wasn’t the least bit annoyed about her delay in returning. Instead, she was sowhat worried, "An’an, as you know, by deciding to stay, you’re getting involved in the Han Family’s troubled waters, which is very dangerous."
Xia Wan’an pressed her lips together, remaining silent.
Auntie Wen: "An’an, I and your sister know what’s in your heart. If we forced you to stay out of this, you’d probably be unhappy. In any case, An’an, be very careful in everything you do."
"Auntie Wen, I understand. Don’t worry, I will take good care of myself."
"Mm," Auntie Wen on the phone paused, then asked, "An’an, for this stay, are you using your identity as Xia Wanwan or Xia Wan’an?"
"For now, still Xia Wanwan... As for them, Xia Wanwan is just an outsider; they won’t pay too much attention. But if it’s Xia Wan’an, instead of helping them, I might just add to the chaos."
"That’s true..." Auntie Wen sounded like she had more to say, but ultimately, right before hanging up the phone, she said what she wanted to say, "However, An’an, your sister and I both want you to be happy in the end."
Xia Wan’an knew what Auntie Wen ant. She was hoping that Xia Wan’an wouldn’t stress too much over her inability to beco pregnant, to not be too hard on herself... Xia Wan’an softly "Mm’ed" in response, without saying much more, ending the call with Auntie Wen.
Since it just passed five o’clock, the roads were still fairly empty, so it wasn’t even six o’clock yet when Xia Wan’an returned to Xie Lin’s hospital.
When she got back to the ward, Han Jingnian was still asleep on the bed, everything was just as she had left it. Xia Wan’an tiptoed to place her suitcase back to its original spot, then quietly climbed into bed as though she had never left.
The sleep-deprived Xia Wan’an soon couldn’t fight off her drowsiness and dozed off. Once her breathing beca even and lengthy, the man on the hospital bed, who seed to be sleeping soundly, slowly opened his eyelids, turned his head slowly, and gazed at the girl lying on the small bed not far away...
