Finally hearing her speak, Yuan Xiaoxuan heaved a sigh of relief and said, "I thought auntie couldn't talk. Auntie, why did you fall just now?"
Yin Shulan replied with a sob, "I wasn't looking at the road."
The little one patted her hand seriously with his own and said, "Then you have to watch the road when you walk in the future. Otherwise, it will hurt a lot when you fall."
"Okay, grandma remembers," she said softly.
"Grandma?" Yuan Xiaoxu tilted his head. "Why is auntie grandma?"
"Because I..." Just as Yin Shulan was about to speak, she heard Xu Zixi's voice, "I'm back!"
The girl with a high ponytail and in a sports suit ran back out of breath. Her beautiful face was slightly flushed from running. Her eyebrows were flying with a wild charm, and there was a vibrant energy on her body, which was completely different from the gentle and delicate appearance she had years ago.
Xu Zixi squatted down, took out hydrogen peroxide, cotton swabs, gauze, and medicine powder from the bag, and began to treat Yin Shulan's wound with her head down. The stinging pain caused by the hydrogen peroxide flushing the damaged skin tissue made her tremble involuntarily. Xu Zixi looked up and her voice softened unconsciously.
"It will hurt a bit. Bear with it."
For some reason, Xu Zixi felt that this scene was strangely similar to the one when she treated Yan Yincheng's wound in the zoo. Shaking her head and smiling, she thought that it must be because someone had always been flirting with her with sweet words last night, making her associate everything with him.
After helping to clean the wound, sprinkle the medicine powder, and wrap the gauze. Xu Zixi helped Yin Shulan up and said,
"Please check your physical condition. Can you walk by yourself? If not, I can help you get home."
Yin Shulan tried to move and found that she could walk. She turned back to Xu Zixi and said, "Don't bother. I can walk by myself."
Xu Zixi heaved a sigh of relief. "That's good. After you get home, if you still feel any discomfort in your body, you must go to the hospital for a full - body check - up and take an X - ray."
Yin Shulan said hoarsely, "Okay, thank you."
Xu Zixi stroked the heads of the two little ones and said with a smile, "Boys, say goodbye to auntie. We're going home."
Yuan Xiaoxu grabbed the corner of Xu Zixi's clothes and said, "Mummy, it's not auntie. It's grandma."
Xu Zixi looked at Yin Shulan in confusion. Yin Shulan didn't want to expose herself at this time, so she quickly pointed at Grandma Wang and said, "I heard the kids call this lady Grandma Wang. I'm about the same age as her."
Xu Zixi said with a smile, "Then, boys, say goodbye to the beautiful grandma."
The two little ones waved their hands. "Goodbye, beautiful grandma! We're going home!"
Yin Shulan let out an almost inaudible sigh, waved to the two little ones, and her eyes were glued to them, reluctant to leave. Maybe feeling her emotions, the two little ones turned back to look at her after walking a short distance and inexplicably felt reluctant too.
Outside a flower shop in the center of Haicheng City, a black Maybach with all 9s on its license plate was parked there, attracting many passers - by's attention.
Inside the car, Yan Yincheng received a call from A Biao. "Third Master, the old madam appeared in the small garden outside our community this morning. She met Miss Yuan who went out for a run and the two young masters. She accidentally fell, but Miss Yuan helped her treat the wound."
Yan Yincheng tightened his grip on the phone. "Did she say anything when she met Zixi?"
"The old madam just thanked Miss Yuan, but she cried a lot when she saw the two young masters."
Yan Yincheng was silent for a while and then said, "Okay, I see."
At this time, Wei Shu came out of the flower shop holding a bunch of bright sunflowers and got in the car. "Third Master, the flowers for the old madam are ready. We can set off."
A moment later, the car drove away and headed towards the Haicheng International Hotel.
In the presidential suite on the top floor of the Haicheng International Hotel, hearing the sound of the door opening, Xie Shi turned around and saw her friend limping in from outside.
She quickly put down the clothes in her hand and rushed up. "What's wrong with you? How did you get injured after going out?"
The emotions that had been deliberately suppressed in her heart could no longer be contained at the moment of seeing her friend. She hugged Xie Shi tightly and cried out unrestrainedly.
Xie Shi sighed helplessly and patted her on the back one by one, coaxing, "Okay, tell me whatever grievances you've suffered. With me here, I won't let anyone bully you."
After Yin Shulan vented her emotions, she finally felt a little more comfortable in her heart. Gradually stopping her tears, she let go of Xie Shi and said,
"I saw them."
"Really? You went out before dawn. I thought this time it would be a fruitless trip, but I didn't expect it to be so smooth?" Xie Shi was surprised and then frowned. "Why did you get injured just to see someone? Did the children's mother not want you to see the children and push you?"
Yin Shulan shook her head. "I was just careless."
She pulled Xie Shi to sit on the chair and told her in detail all that had happened in the morning.
"… It was she who helped me treat the wound."
As she said, she carefully rolled up her trouser leg. Sure enough, the wound on her knee had been bandaged, and it could be seen that the person who bandaged it was quite careful.
Xie Shi said, "She's a good girl. And it seems that the two children have also been well - educated by her. You can rest assured now, right?"
Yin Shulan frowned slightly and sighed. "I am relieved. I'm just worried about A Cheng. You know that child's temper. Which girl can stand him?"
"By the way, A Cheng called me this morning and said he was coming. If you don't want him to know you're here, I'll make another appointment with him."
Yin Shulan said, "There's no need to hide it from him. His father should have told him already."
Knowing that her son was coming, although she knew he couldn't see, Yin Shulan still changed into a new set of clothes and powdered her face to cover the traces of crying.
Half an hour later, the doorbell rang. Xie Shi winked at Yin Shulan and got up to open the door.
Sure enough, it was Yan Yincheng outside the door, followed by Wei Shu.
"Aunt Shi," Yan Yincheng nodded slightly. "I'm here to see mother."
Xie Shi raised her eyebrows in surprise. "I thought you came here so early specifically to see me. It turns out you're here to see your mother. She's inside. Go in."
Yan Yincheng nodded. Led by Wei Shu, he walked past Xie Shi into the room.
Yin Shulan was sitting on the sofa. Looking up, she watched her son walking towards her with steady steps. Her eyes couldn't help but get hot again, and she wanted to cry.
The tall man who could already take on responsibilities stopped in front of her, took the bouquet of flowers and the gift from Wei Shu, and held them out in front of him. After a pause, he said,
"Mom, long time no see."
