355 Would Their Relationship Be Better Than the Present? (1/2)

Xuxu raised her head and looked at him, visibly startled. ”You are here so early.”

Jiang Zhuoheng walked towards her and answered, ”Yes, but I need to return to the office shortly.”

He walked up to her and handed over the food. ”Your breakfast. Eat up, quick.”

”You shouldn't have rushed over since you're so busy. Aren't you tired of getting caught in the morning hour traffic jam?” Xuxu chided him out of concern. She then stretched out her hands to receive the bag.

She opened the bag and peered inside. It was steamed dumplings and pig liver wild vegetable porridge.

”Did Huanhuan run a fever yesterday night?” Jiang Zhuoheng shifted his gaze to the bed and observed Huanhuan who was still sound asleep.

Xuxu replied, ”No, she didn't. But whenever her temperature would start to spike up, I dabbed her forehead with a damp cloth. Her temperature didn't rise after that. The doctor also said that if her fever is kept at bay, she can be discharged.”

As Jiang Zhuoheng listened on, he got worried. ”The orphanage is located far away, and as what Matron Huang mentioned yesterday, some of the children at the orphanage have yet to be vaccinated against chicken pox. So, it's not yet safe for Huanhuan to return until she's made a full recovery.”

He pondered for a moment and said, ”How about… let me bring her home? There will be people at home to take care of her.”

”It's alright.” Xuxu shook her head and answered cheerfully. ”Yan Rusheng allowed me to bring Huanhuan home.”

Jiang Zhuoheng was stunned for a moment and vacillated, ”Was that why you were so overjoyed earlier?”

Although he was unsure if her elation was due to that, somehow he had a hunch that it wasn't far off.

Xuxu pressed her lips together and remained silent, seeming to agree tacitly.

Jiang Zhuoheng lowered his head and curled his lips bitterly.

”So Yan Rusheng, how could I ever compete with you?”

In her heart, one of them had already emerged a winner.

Little Huanhuan's condition was stable for the entire morning, with no signs of the fever spiking up. And so, Xuxu was able to bring her home when afternoon rolled around.
