Chapter 55 You Are Not Worthy of Ying Qingcang (2/2)
”How old were you?” Xin Qing choked with sobs.
”Perhaps five years old. I cannot remember clearly.” Ying Qingcang said with an air of indifference.
Xin Qing embraced him tightly and her fingers outlined each scar on his back, ”How young you were! It must be badly hurt.”
”Yes, it is!” Seeing she was about to drop tears, Ying Qingcang turned over on Xin Qing and kissed her, ”So you should console me now.” Then, his hands began drifting amorously on her.
”No...no, We...we will be heard.” Xin Qing covered her mouth and said in a lapsing tone.
Ying Qingcang pinched her softly, ”We won't. I have had her live downstairs. She will not hear us.”
”Young master...young master!”
Xin Qing heard Uncle Fu's calling vaguely and opened her eyes, finding that it was still dark. Ying Qingcang had got up to open the door.
”What's wrong, Uncle Fu?” Xin Qing shouted at the door.
Ying Qingcang entered very quickly and said, ”There is something wrong with Le Le.”
”Le Le?” After hearing it, Xin Qing put on clothes quickly and hurried downstairs, running into Monica who came out of the room. Seeing Xin Qing covered with various hickeys under her incomplete pyjamas, Monica furrowed her eyebrows and asked, ”What's wrong? What happened?”
”Miss Xin's dog seems ill,” Uncle Fu followed Xin Qing and answered. Ying Qingcang took up the car key and put a coat on Xin Qing, ”Let's go, go to the hospital.”
Xin Qing held convulsive Le Le in the arms and held back the tears, hurrying to the hospital with Ying Qingcang. Watching the car drive away, Monica walked to Uncle Fu and exclaimed, ”How nice Ah Cang is to Xin Qing! He has always had a loathing of small animals, and now he allows Xin Qing to keep a dog just because she likes it.”
Uncle Fu took a glance at her, tilted his head down slightly and said, ”Young Master lovers Miss Xin deeply. They are a good match.”
”Are they?” Monica tugged the corner of her lips and said, ”I can't see why they are matched.”
”Miss Monica, at least, I have never seen Young Master is as happy as now before. He grew up without love. You know what he has gone through. So why are you here to destroy his happiness?”
Seeing Monica fall into silence, the old man said with a sigh, ”I know you are the woman in England. If you are for the good of Young Master sincerely, you should send your best wishes to him and should not make him sad any more.”
”Uncle Fu!” Monica shouted loudly, ”As you say, Ah Cang would die without that woman! What's she got? Even you are on her side.”
”Don't you get it? I am not on the side of Xin Qing. I am on the side of Young Master.” After saying that, Uncle Fu turned around and left, leaving her alone.
Le Le got a sudden enteritidis and had to stay in the pet hospital to take some transfusion. When Xin Qing and Ying Qingcang returned home, it was almost dawn. Ying Qingcang cuddled Xin Qing and said, ”Sleep well. I will take days off for you. When you get up, I will let Ah Nan take you to see Le Le.”
Xin Qing huddled in his arms and closed her eyes, ”How about you? Will you have to work tomorrow?”
”I am okay. Sleep now!” Ying Qingcang kissed her and said.
Xin Qing slept till the noon of the next day. Ying Qingcang had gone to work early with Monica. Xin Qing made chicken porridge for Le Le and took some of its favorite tools and snacks, ready to go to the hospital. She was about to leave home when she received a call from Zhang Mi, asking why she took days off. Zhang Mi exclaimed to see Le Le after knowing it was ill.
At the gate of the pet hospital, Zhang Mi and Shi Qianqian had arrived earlier than Xin Qing since they lived not far off. Three of them came across an acquaintance the moment they entered the hospital.
”Miss Xin? Qian...Qianqian?” Jian Jie looked at the three girls coming in, surprised.
Shi Qianqian frowned and said nothing. Xin Qing uttered immediately, ”Miss Jian, why are you here?”
”This pet hospital is run by my brother.” She understood the moment she saw what Xin Qing was holding and said, ”Is your pet sick?”
Looking at Le Le anxiously, Xin Qing answered as she walked in, ”My dog is sick. It was sent here yesterday.”
In low spirit, Le Le was lying in a transfusion tank with its leg having an intravenous drip. Seeing Xin Qing coming, it wagged its tail hard, eager to stand up to lick her.
Xin Qing petted its head to signal it to lie down. Le Le was so obedient that it kept unmoved but just licked Xin Qing's hand with pleasure.
A young man with glasses came over and said, ”Sister, your friends?”
”This is my boss' fiancee!” Jian Jie pointed at the good-looking young man and introduced, ”This is my younger brother, Jian Bai, a veritable veterinarian!”
”Haha!” Jian Bai cackled, looked at Le Le, and comforted Xin Qing, ”It will be fine. You sent it here in time. It will recover soon after taking some infusions some days. I guess, it must eat something indigestible, which led to a sudden enteritidis. Now it is getting warmer, so please do not let your dog eat too much at night.”
Xin Qing was about to reply when Shi Qianqian's voice rang suddenly, ”Have I seen you before?”
