Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Zhao Hao stood at the side, feeling very awkward. He was about to die of embarrassment.
He couldn’t believe Li Anran suddenly made such a move. He didn’t tell Ye Xingchen in advance!
Moreover, Ye Xingchen was actually willing to give him some of the few medicines he had at this time. This was already a great favor, but Li Anran actually wanted Ye Xingchen to help take care of her child?!
Zhao Hao, who was stuck in the middle, had not even thought about it when Ye Xingchen spoke coldly.
“That’s not appropriate, Sister Anran. I’ve never had a child before. How would
1 know how to take care of a child, especially a sick child like this?”
“Besides, it’s true that 1 have a heater at home, but you know that in this kind of weather, even if there’s a heater at home, it won’t last long. It’s not like you don’t know that the electricity supply is only for one or two hours a day.”
“And look, if your child is raised in my house and something happened, how can I give you an explanation? It’ll hurt our relationship.”
Even if Ye Xingchen allowed Zhao Hao to move in in the future, it was impossible for him to let Li Anran in.
To put it nicely, it was for the sake of the child.
However, would a mother who really loved her child leave her child to be taken care of by a stranger when her child was sick and had a fever?
Moreover, at this time, she had tossed a delicate child at two strangers who had no experience in taking care of children.
Wasn’t she afraid that they would kill and eat her child?
Besides, who knew if Li Anran was planning to move in with them in the name of taking care of the child!
Hearing Ye Xingchen’s words, Zhao Hao gradually reacted.
He frowned and pulled Li Anran’s arm as he whispered. “Little Ye has already helped us a lot. He’s already very kind. What are you saying? This medicine is so precious. Little Ye gave us so much without complaining. When we go back, let’s cover the kid with more blankets so that she won’t freeze!”
Li Anran broke free from Zhao Hao’s hand and stomped her foot. She sat at Ye Xingchen’s door and wiped her tears. “What do you know as a man? Little Treasure is only so old! She would die in such cold weather!”
She paused and said to Ye Xingchen, “Xingchen, 1 know that my request is somewhat inappropriate, but 1 have no choice but to beg you!”
“I know you’re kind-hearted, that’s why I’m shamelessly begging you like this.
1 beg you, for Little Treasure’s sake, and also for your Big Brother Zhao’s sake, let Little Treasure stay at your house for a while!”
“Don’t worry, I won’t disturb you for too long. I’m not such an insensible person!”
Zhao Hao, who was listening at the side, was anxious. He reached out and wanted to pull Li Anran up from the ground.
“What are you talking about? Little Ye doesn’t owe us anything! On the contrary, we owe Little Ye a lot!”
Ye Xingchen stuffed his arms into his coat pockets and leaned against the door.
This Li Anran was indeed not simple. In order to achieve her goal, she even brought out her backer, Zhao Hao. She was really taking advantage of Zhao Hao’s honest character. She was not afraid of angering Zhao Hao and being kicked aside.
“Sigh, I’m not a cold-blooded person. It’s just that Sister Anran, it’s really inappropriate for your Little Treasure to be in my house.”
“Look, there’s no one in my family who knows how to take care of children. Although Sijia is a doctor and can treat illnesses, she doesn’t know how to take care of children.”
“Besides, you know what it’s like outside now. 1 don’t dare to let anyone in.”
“It’s not like you don’t know how many people wanted to take my house for themselves. Sigh, so many people wanted to take my life. I was really afraid and didn’t dare to let anyone else in.”
“I believe you can understand me, right, Sister Anran? I believe that Brother Zhao will definitely understand me.”
Zhao Hao grabbed Li Anran’s arm and pulled her up from the ground. He was anxious and angry, and his face was red with anger.
“You! You better stop talking! Little Ye is already good enough to us. Who’s still willing to give us medicine now?! It’s not like you didn’t see how the others rejected me! Don’t make such an unreasonable request again!”
Li Anran was still holding the child in her arms. She bit her lips and felt wronged. She did not refute Zhao Hao. She just stared at Zhao Hao with tears in her eyes. “But, but he said that he didn’t dare to let anyone else in, yet he still let Lin Sijia stay in his house?”
“Lin Sijia is my girlfriend. What’s wrong with me letting her stay here?” Ye Xingchen found it funny. “Shouldn’t I?”
Zhao Hao was so ashamed that he almost dug a hole and buried himself. He pulled hard and moved Li Anran a few steps away. “I’m sorry, Little Ye. Don’t lower yourself to her level. I’m really grateful for what you did this time!”
Ye Xingchen stood upstairs and watched them pull each other. The corners of his lips curled up. “It’s okay, Big Brother Zhao. Don’t be so polite with me at this time. Neighbors still have to help each other.”
Zhao Hao dragged Li Anran back, and his low and angry voice reached Ye Xingchen’s ears through the communication device. “Let’s go! Don’t give them any more trouble! Little Ye has already been kind enough to us. Don’t push your luck!”
Li Anran walked away reluctantly. Ye Xingchen only laughed at the way she looked back three times with every step she took.
Returning to the living room on the sixth floor, Ye Xingchen unlocked the door and entered the living room with his coat. Just then, Lin Sijia came out of the kitchen with the dishes. “Done? You’re just in time. Dinner is ready. Come over and wash your hands.”
Ye Xingchen nodded and put his coat aside. He washed his hands and suddenly turned to look at Lin Sijia, who was standing in front of the dining table. “Did you hear that? What do you think?”
When Ye Xingchen went downstairs, she deliberately didn’t turn off the voice transmission equipment on this floor. Therefore, Lin Sijia, who was on the sixth floor, could clearly hear the conversation between Ye Xingchen and Zhao Hao.
“I feel that Li Anran has ulterior motives.”
Lin Sijia frowned. She had heard Li Anran’s question about why Lin Sijia could move in.
Just as she had expected, there were indeed many women who wanted to replace her. However, she did not expect that Li Anran, who had already attached herself to someone else, would actually have such thoughts.
“She also wants to move in. She wants to move in here in the name of her child.”
“Yes, this woman’s thoughts are not pure, but Zhao Hao is a good person. I wonder if Li Anran will go back and whisper some pillow talk to sow discord between Zhao Hao and me.”
Zhao Hao was someone Ye Xingchen wanted to rope in. He did not want his future plans to be disrupted by Li Anran.
Ye Xingchen thought to himself, I have to be more cautious of this woman..
