Hearing Song Yunxuan’s words, Shao Xue replied, “Since it’s important, shouldn’t you have stayed longer?”
“I’m not feeling well.”
Hearing that, Shao Xue felt nervous, asking, “What’s wrong? Are you ill?”
“Nope. It’s that…” Song Yunxuan paused and then smiled, continuing, “I’m pregnant.”
Song Yunxuan’s words instantly stunned Shao Xue.
Shao Xue did a double-take before asking, “You are pregnant? Is it Childe Chu’s baby?”
Shao Xue was happy for Song Yunxuan.
Song Yunxuan didn’t deny it. She slightly nodded at the other end of the phone, replying, “Yes.”
Shao Xue felt somewhat surprised, but she still said, “Congratulations, Yunxuan. Now the Chu Family can’t neglect you.”
Shao Xue had been worried that Song Yunxuan would be defeated by Shao Tianze in the fight after the Chu Family stopped helping her. But now she was relieved as Song Yunxuan was pregnant with Chu Mochen’s baby.
“Yeah.”
Song Yunxuan lowered her eyes and also felt lucky that she was pregnant with Chu Mochen’s baby.
But meanwhile, Song Yunxuan couldn’t help thinking of Yi and Miaomiao.
“Are Yi and Miaomiao going to school lately?”
“Recently, Gu Changle has been eager to see the two kids, but Shao Tianze refused her again and again. Her condition is beginning to stabilize these days, but there’s still no suitable organ for her. Thus she has been moody. Even if Shao Tianze has agreed to bring Yi and Miaomiao to see her, he just stalls it instead of letting the two kids meet Gu Changle.”
Hearing Shao Xue’s words, Song Yunxuan felt less worried.
“I want to see them. Can you arrange that for me?”
Maybe it was because Song Yunxuan was pregnant with Chu Mochen’s baby. She felt that she missed Yi and Miaomiao a lot more than before.
Hearing Song Yunxuan’s request, Shao Xue remained silent for a moment. Then she replied, “It might be a bit tricky.”
Though Shao Tianze cared about Gu Changle, he had also been treating Yi and Miaomiao well. Besides, in order to prevent the two kids from being hurt by Gu Changle, he deliberately got two nurses to take care of Yi and Miaomiao.
The nurses would tell Shao Tianze everything about Yi and Miaomiao, like how they were, where they went, and even what they had for lunch and supper.
Hearing that, Song Yunxuan frowned, asking, “Why?”
“There’s something you don’t know. Recently, Shao Tianze got two nurses to look after Yi and Miaomiao round the clock. They need to report Yi’s and Miaomiao’s diets and daily routines to Shao Tianze. It was easy for me to bring Yi and Miaomiao to see you in the past.”
“But now it’s not that easy to take them out of the Shao Family.”
Song Yunxuan understood Shao Xue’s words.
Though Song Yunxuan still wanted very much to see Yi and Miaomiao, she gave up the idea for now.
“Fine. I’ll wait and see if there’s another chance to see them.”
Shao Xue nodded, replying, “Okay. Once there’s a chance, I’ll let you know.”
Song Yunxuan said OK.
They had been speaking with each other for such a while on the phone, but Song Yunxuan still didn’t want to hang up.
Now Shao Xue was the only go-between that could help Song Yunxuan contact the two kids. Besides, Song Yunxuan could only see the two kids with Shao Xue’s help.
As for Song Yunxuan, it would be nice to hear the two kids’ voices on the phone even if she could not see them.
Sensing that Song Yunxuan still stayed on the line, Shao Xue seemed to understand how she felt, saying, “Hold on. Let me see if I can get Yi and Miaomiao to speak to you.”
“OK. Thank you, Shao Xue.”
“It’s nothing.”
Though Shao Xue knew Song Yunxuan called her mostly because of the two kids, she still wanted to try her best to help Song Yunxuan.
The reason was that Song Yunxuan was also helping Shao Xue.
Shao Xue wasn’t able to rival Shao Tianze.
Thus she could only pin her hope on Song Yunxuan and hoped that Song Yunxuan could help her get revenge.
Meanwhile, Shao Xue had to do something that was within her scope to let Song Yunxuan move forward without the worries behind.
Yi and Miaomiao’s safety was something Song Yunxuan was worried about.
Shao Xue wanted to help Song Yunxuan take good care of the two kids.
When Shao Xue walked out of the room, Yuncheng had already been enveloped in a curtain of darkness.
Outside the window, the moon hung in the sky.
Shao Xue felt that Yi and Miaomiao should be asleep at the moment. But in order to let Song Yunxuan see the two kids, Shao Xue still sneaked into Yi’s room.
Gu Yi was a light sleeper, so he had already woken up when hearing someone opening the door of the bedroom.
Thinking that the two nurses hired by his father would occasionally enter their bedroom at night and see if they were asleep, Gu Yi kept his eyes closed, ignoring the two nurses.
He thought the nurses would retreat from the bedroom after taking a look at him.
But out of his expectation, the person stayed by his bedside for a moment and nudged his shoulder after entering the bedroom, whispering, “Yi?”
Gu Yi instantly recognized that it was Shao Xue’s voice, so he immediately opened his eyes and called, “Auntie.”
Though Gu Yi was little, he was clear about who truly cared about him and his younger sister.
Since his auntie entered the Shao Family, she had been nice to him and his younger sister.
So Gu Yi liked her very much.
Seeing that Yi moved a little and opened his eyes, Shao Xue smiled, asking, “Did I wake you?”
Gu Yi sat up slowly and then pulled himself upright on the bed, shaking his head cutely and answering, “Nope. I was awake, actually.”
“OK. By the way, there’s something I need you to do.” Shao Xue looked at Gu Yi smilingly, saying.
Gu Yi felt somewhat confused, wondering, “What is it, auntie?”
Shao Xue took out the phone hidden in her pocket and handed it to Gu Yi, replying, “I need you to take a call.”
Seeing the phone handed over by Shao Xue, Gu Yi took it, puzzled.
Then Shao Xue whispered to him, “Keep your voice down while you are on the phone in case the nurses may hear it.”
Gu Yi nodded to signify that he understood.
Then he put the phone close to his ear.
Song Yunxuan, who was at the other end of the phone, also heard what was going on. When hearing that Gu Yi took the phone, she greeted him, “Yi.”
Hearing Song Yunxuan’s voice, Gu Yi was a bit stunned.
He had a strange sense of kinship with the woman at the other end, but he also felt puzzled and confused.
Thus he remained silent for such a while.
Shao Xue who was watching him answer the phone wondered, “What happened? She hung up the phone?”
Hearing that, Gu Yi gently replied, “No.”
“Then speak to Yunxuan. She’s been missing you.”
“Okay.”
Gu Yi replied.
Calming himself down, he spoke to the person at the other end, “Is there anything you want to say to me?”
Hearing that it was Gu Yi’s voice, Song Yunxuan felt relieved, saying smilingly, “Can’t I call you if there isn’t anything important?”
“You can.”
Gu Yi answered Song Yunxuan primly.
Hearing that Gu Yi answered her like a grownup, Song Yunxuan smiled, saying, “I’ve been missing you, so I’m calling to see if you are doing OK.”
Gu Yi was a quiet boy, so he wasn’t used to saying warm words.
But Gu Yi could understand and hide many things in his heart.
Song Yunxuan knew Gu Yi very well.
So while speaking with Gu Yi on the phone, Song Yunxuan asked him how he and Miaomiao had been doing lately.
Gu Yi answered Song Yunxuan truthfully.
Though they were just talking about minor things and Song Yunxuan just asked him casually, she still felt satisfied.
Gu Changge was the one who gave birth to the two kids.
The mother and children formed a close attachment. Song Yunxuan missed the two kids a lot as she hadn’t contacted them for a while.
Therefore, Song Yunxuan was relieved even though she could only hear the two kids’ voices when she had a chance to contact them.
Song Yunxuan knew well about the Shao Family’s current situation and knew that there were two nurses who had been supervising the two kids.
Thus Song Yunxuan didn’t speak much. After speaking for a couple of minutes, Song Yunxuan said, “Go to sleep, Yi. Good night.”
“Okay, you too. Good night.”
Gu Yi said meekly.
Song Yunxuan was happy to hear that.
Hearing that Song Yunxuan and Gu Yi said goodnight to each other, Shao Xue knew that they were about to hang up.
Just at that moment, Gu Yi suddenly said, “Sister Yunxuan.”
Hearing that, Song Yunxuan responded, “Yes?”
“I’ll take good care of Miaomiao.”
The words instantly stunned Song Yunxuan. Shao Xue, who was listening to him by his bedside, also felt surprised.
For some unaccountable reason, Gu Yi suddenly said that to Song Yunxuan.
But it touched Song Yunxuan’s heart.
Song Yunxuan was stupefied and had mixed feelings.
Meanwhile, Gu Yi had handed the phone to Shao Xue.
Shao Xue took the phone and stroked Gu Yi’s head, telling him to sleep early. Then she left the bedroom.
Then Shao Xue slipped into Miaomiao’s bedroom.
Unlike Gu Yi, Miaomiao had already fallen asleep.
Shao Xue walked over and prepared to wake up Miaomiao.
Just at the moment, Song Yunxuan said, “Don’t wake her up.”
“But you can’t speak to Miaomiao while she’s asleep.”
“Start a video call. Just let me see her.”
Song Yunxuan said softly.
Since Miaomiao was asleep, there was no need to wake her up.
Song Yunxuan would be happy if she could just take a look at her child.
Shao Xue did as Song Yunxuan told her and pointed her phone’s camera at Miaomiao.
At the other end of the phone, Song Yunxuan reached out and wanted to stroke Miaomiao’s head on seeing her sleeping soundly with a toy bear Winnie in her arms.
Song Yunxuan wanted to peck on Miaomiao’s cheek and say goodnight to her.
However, the distance between Song Yunxuan and Miaomiao was more than a screen.
Gu Changge had died.
Gu Changge left the two kids to be raised by Shao Tianze.
While Shao Tianze was alive, he would not let anyone else get custody of the kids.
Thus if Song Yunxuan wanted to see and live with the two kids earlier, she would have to eradicate Shao Tianze as soon as possible.
