Chapter 27: Trouble at Dr. Fu's Side_2

Although he has been spoiled since childhood, Ling Yuxuan did not turn out bad and still has the expected manners.

He stood with his hands in his pockets, looking bossy as he watched the woman come out with her bag, but when he spoke, he sounded like a meek little wife, stammering.

"That... woman, thank you."

Ji Sang glanced at him indifferently, not saying a word. That kick from before had strained her stomach, and it was hurting a bit now.

The two of them had barely reached the door when the boss suddenly said,

"Handsome guy, you haven't paid for your internet time yet!"

Ling Yuxuan: ...

Ji Sang: ...

The young master started freaking out. It was the first time he faced such an awkward situation concerning money. How could he not feel wronged?

"I'm rich, I could buy a hundred of your run-down internet cafes in a single breath!"

The boss chuckled, clearly not believing Ling Yuxuan's words.

"Oh, then young master, please settle the internet fee. It's not much, just fifty yuan."

Ling Yuxuan's face stiffened. Of course, he knew fifty yuan wasn't much! But he couldn't use his card right now! And as for cash, he had never touched that stuff.

So there stood the rich young master, lips pursed straight, glancing at Ji Sang beside him.

"That... woman, could you help a person out to the end?"

Ji Sang frowned, enduring the pain as she stepped forward to scan the QR code, transferring one hundred yuan.

"The rest is compensation. Boss, your shop doesn't seem very regulated."

With that, Ji Sang promptly left.

Having been held up so long, she wasn't sure if she could finish cooking before Fu Yisi returned. Ji Sang did not drive herself; she was sent by the Fu Family's driver.

This time, reaching the street corner, Ji Sang saw a taxi, just about to hail it, when she noticed a child's head poking out from the green belt beside.

With a jolt of shock, ignoring the pain in her belly, she quickly went over and picked up the child, who was still squatting by the roadside. Luckily, the taxi driver also noticed the situation and slowed down.

Ji Sang knelt down, ready to give a word of caution when she saw the boy's face and froze.

"Xiao Zhi?"

Wasn't this the boy she met last time at the Third Hospital?

Xiao Zhi stared at Ji Sang for a long time, as if he finally remembered who she was, and his eyes lit up with a smile.

"Big sister, what are you doing here?"

Ji Sang looked around in all directions.

"Xiao Zhi, where are your parents?"

"Dad is at the hospital with mom and my sister, he said they can't be disturbed, so he asked me to stay here and play by myself."

"Here? Is your home here?"

The little boy shook his head and pointed in a direction.

"No, dad and I are staying in a hotel."

Following his direction, Ji Sang indeed saw a hotel.

"Then Xiao Zhi, how about we go to the hotel? It's very dangerous by the roadside."

Ji Sang coaxed the child to the hotel, asked the front desk to help call Xiao Zhi's father, and without waiting for long, Xiao Zhi's father returned.

This time seeing him closer than at the Third Hospital, Ji Sang saw his face more clearly and found it ever more familiar. But she couldn't remember where she had seen him.

Ji Sang detailed the situation to Xiao Zhi's father.

"Sir, your child is still young, it's too dangerous for him to stay alone at a hotel."

Even if he had to go to the hospital to accompany his wife and daughter, he should have arranged a safer place for his son, how could a hotel be appropriate?

Many times, kidnappings, and trafficking happen due to parents' negligence.

The man hurriedly agreed, his face full of fatigue.

"Miss, how about this, let me treat you to a meal."

"No need, it was no trouble."

Ji Sang waved her hand; she was in a hurry to get back and didn't stay long, but as she left the hotel, she couldn't help but look back at the father and son.

That man, where had she seen him before?

...

Once home, Ji Sang went straight to the kitchen. Before coming back today, she specifically asked Ye Lin about Fu Yisi's preferences. Perhaps due to being a doctor, Fu Yisi preferred lighter flavors, which was the opposite of hers.

But fortunately, Fu Yisi wasn't picky, which she had observed over the past few days.

However, these past few days, she really couldn't handle heavy flavors.

Then, she should cook something lighter.

Thinking this, Ji Sang tried to use less oil and salt while cooking. She tasted it midway and couldn't quite taste anything.

"Is this light enough?"

"Will Fu Yisi like it?"

"Should I add a bit more?"

"Then it wouldn't be light anymore, right? Fu Yisi wouldn't like it."

"No, why should I care whether he likes it or not?"

Thinking this, Ji Sang reached for the salt but paused just before pouring it.

"I can only eat lighter these days, so no, I won't add it."

And so, Ji Sang put down her hand.

By the time she served the food, her phone alarm went off. Ji Sang picked up her phone, about to ask Fu Yisi when he would return when she saw a message he had sent half an hour before:

Fu Yisi: Working overtime, won't be back tonight.

Immediately, Ji Sang thought of that troublesome patient and hurriedly sent a message back.

"Do you want me to bring you food?"

After sending it, she felt that Fu Yisi must be too busy to check his phone, but no sooner had she put it down, her phone received a message.

Fu Yisi: No need, if you're feeling unwell, eat well and rest well.

Ji Sang let it be.

In the evening, Ji Sang lay in bed with her laptop, intending to process information collected in the afternoon, but her mind kept drifting to Fu Yisi.

Did he eat dinner?

Is he still on duty this late?

Where is he sleeping?

As she pondered these things, she put the laptop aside, settled into bed to catch some sleep, and surprisingly, fell asleep.

The next day, Ji Sang woke up somewhat late, made a quick breakfast, and drove her repaired Volvo to the station. She was set to shoot a promotional video at the hospital tomorrow, and today she had to meet and communicate with the entire team.

The team was the station's top-notch lineup, and the meeting ran straight through to one in the afternoon. Just when the group was about to go for lunch, Lu Ming came over and called for Ji Sang and Song Xiu.

Just into the office, Lu Ming said outright,

"There's been an incident with Dr. Fu."
