When Qin Yuji descended the stairs, Chi Jingxuan was quietly talking to Ruan Xu, while Sister Rong was busily tidying and wiping things down nearby.
Seeing Qin Yuji, Chi Jingxuan turned to meet her, "Did Mom wake up?"
Qin Yuji shook her head.
As a look of concern surfaced on Chi Jingxuan's face, Qin Yuji let out an almost imperceptible sigh, took his hand, and said, "Let's go back, we can come over again after work."
Chi Jingxuan had initially thought Qin Yuji would stay until Yu Wanqing woke up before leaving. Now that she took the initiative to suggest going back, it truly eased his mind a great deal.
After going upstairs to greet Gu Mozhen and saying they would return in the afternoon, Chi Jingxuan descended the stairs, holding Qin Yuji's hand as they walked outside.
Before leaving, Qin Yuji turned to Ruan Xu and said, "Doctor Ruan, I have a few questions I'd like to ask you. Could you walk me out?"
"It would be my honor," replied Ruan Xu with a smile.
