<h4>Chapter 1455: Chapter 1468</h4>


    Wei Yu did note out with An Ruoxi; he stayed in the ward.


    An Ruoxi covered her face and ran out quickly, not caring whether the person behind her followed. She wished there was a crack in the ground to hide in and felt regret for losing control once more.


    Clearly, it was a gentle trap, yet she was captivated!


    No!


    He’s not the gentle type; there is only a contract and interests between them. He’s only doing this to act!


    Yes, that’s definitely it.


    But...


    But mom wouldn’t think that way. They are surely going to separate in the future, so how would she exin to mom then...


    Suddenly realizing that she had thought everything too simply.


    An Ruoxi squatted for a while at an empty stairwell before realizing she had hurriedly left, only leaving Wei Yu and her mom in the ward.


    That guy won’t talk nonsense to her mom, right?


    An Ruoxi worriedly prepared to go back, took a step forward, and then hesitated.


    She hadn’t thought of how to exin yet.


    But, is it really okay to leave him in the room?


    What if he says something inappropriate...


    No, it’s better to go back and check. An Ruoxi quickly walked towards the ward.


    As she arrived at the door, she happened to see Wei Yuing out of the room. He held the door handle and indicated something to the person inside, his smile faint but courteous.


    An Ruoxi slowed her pace and came up to him, asking, "What did you say to my mom?"


    Her sharp gaze fixed upon him, Wei Yu’s quickly restrained smile reappeared. He dotingly reached out to touch her hair, his movements gentle, his gaze soft, making An Ruoxi somewhat dazed, even giving rise to an illusion.


    But his words hit her like a hammer, waking her up.


    "If we’re going to act, we need to do it thoroughly. On the other hand, what were you rushing out for? Aren’t you afraid I’d say something I shouldn’t to your mom?"


    An Ruoxi took a deep breath, feeling amused at her earlier illusion. She mimicked Wei Yu’s frivolous manner, raised her chin, and replied, "If you said something inappropriate, I’d have to assume Mr. Ji’s intelligence is in question."


    The term "Mr. Ji" instantly widened the gap between them. Wei Yu’s handsome brows furrowed slightly; he nced at her lightly and left with a sentence, "I’m going to see my father, then wait downstairs for you, giving you ten minutes."


    An Ruoxi stared at his departing back, her hand trembling and pointing in mid-air, unable to think of a more fitting insult for him.


    She had many things she wanted to say; ten minutes weren’t enough!


    An Ruoxi pursed her lips in silent protest, then boldly entered the ward.


    An Sufang was lying in bed; her gaze fell outside the window, mind pondering Wei Yu’s words, uncertain whether to feel joy or sorrow.


    Even when An Ruoxi sat by her bed, she didn’t notice.


    "Mom," An Ruoxi reached out and grasped An Sufang’s hand.


    An Sufang returned to her senses, looking at her already grown-up daughter, a knowing smile on her lips, "He’s a good boy. My daughter has a good eye."


    "Huh?" An Ruoxi was taken aback, not understanding her mom’s words.


    "No, it should be that my daughter is charming," An Sufang reversed her grip, holding her daughter’s hand in her palm, her mouth naturally curving into a genuine smile.


    Every time she came, An Ruoxi felt her mom was putting on a brave face.


    "Mom, are you scared?"


    She was terrified, scared of the hospital’s disinfectant smell, afraid of waiting alone at the cold, bleak doors of the operating room.


    An Ruoxi felt the warmth from her mom’s palm spreading throughout her body. Seeing her mom’s calm demeanor now, her anxious heart also eased.


    An Sufang shook her head, "As long as you are okay, I fear nothing."


    "Mom, I have something I want to tell you." After a while, An Ruoxi mustered up the courage, intending toe clean about her and Wei Yu.


    Of course, not everything; she wouldn’t tell her mom about the contract, nor that they’d part ways after a year.


    An Sufang patted her hand, saying, "I already know."


    "...You already know?"


    An Sufang nodded, "Was that your new boyfriend just now?"


    An Ruoxi nodded woodenly, assuming that based on the contract, they were in that kind of rtionship, right?


    "He told me everything. Ah, my Ruoxi is really grown up now."


    Did Wei Yu tell her mom about the contract?


    An Ruoxi’s heart skipped a beat. She looked at An Sufang nervously, "Mom, what else did he tell you?"


    "Look at you, all scared. Is mom someone who doesn’t understand? Mom doesn’t oppose you dating, as long as he treats you well and is sincere, mom is at ease."


    "..." An Ruoxi was stunned.


    "But what exactly does he do? He said he’d sponsor your schooling?"


    "..."


    An Ruoxi was utterly dumbfounded; Wei Yu hadn’t told her mom about the contract, and instead said they’re dating...


    "Well, mom, that’s his intention, yes." Someone responded sheepishly.


    "It’s actually good for you to go to school. It’s mom’s fault for burdening you; now there’s an opportunity, mom doesn’t want you to miss it."


    "But..." An Ruoxi wanted to say more but was stopped by An Sufang.


    "I know what you’re worried about. I’m fine and can take care of myself, but we must repay his sponsorship money regardless of whether you can be together in the future."


    An Sufang’s voice was gentle, soft, like thread hanging, but to An Ruoxi, it sounded resolute, as if she was speaking to her daughter and to herself.


    An Ruoxi understood what her mom was insisting on. She nodded and slowly buried her head in her mom’s embrace, like she used to as a child, greedily inhaling her mom’s scent.


    "Silly girl, no matter how old you get, still acting spoiled in mom’s arms."


    "No matter how old, I’m your daughter; you can’t shake me off in this lifetime." She said, snuggling in her mom’s embrace.


    It’s been so long since she’s gotten this close to her mom...


    It seems very long, long enough to forget when shest held her mom like this.


    It seems her mom has be thinner...


    "Mom, you must eat well; look, you’ve lost weight." An Ruoxi said, distressed, touching her mom’s stomach.


    "Alright, listening to my girl, I’ll eat well." An Sufang gently stroked An Ruoxi’s hair, the other hand patting as she did to lull her to sleep when she was young.


    Her eyes softened fully; she gazed out the window again, no longer bewildered and lost, as the promise from that young man echoed in her mind. She believed her daughter’s spring...


    Has arrived.


    Meanwhile, in Ji Da’s ward.


    When Wei Yu arrived, the assistant was pacing outside the door. Seeing Wei Yu approach, he paused in surprise, "Second Young Master, you’re here."
