Chapter 384: Chapter 358 Fire Support (Thanks 0113730527 and &O+ Update)

“Ah, being a mom is not easy. I remember everything my child likes super clearly too. My son loves little trains.” The boss chatters while packing the items. Dong Yi’s gaze suddenly stops at something – a soft, simulated bread charm. She grabs it and squeezes it, feeling its good texture.

“How much is this?”

“This one is 20. It’s an international export, burnt bread, and super popular right now. The knockoffs outside can’t even compare with this one. A lot of girls like it.”

Dong Yi puts the toy back and shakes her head, leaving with the ball.

Watching her retreating figure, the boss can’t help but mutter, “This girl is really thrifty…”

Yu Mingyi, with a blank expression, stands in front of the boss. The sharp gaze and tall, slender figure make the boss involuntarily gulp down saliva. Is this man here to demand protection fees?

“Do you still have these?” Yu Mingyi points to the charm Dong Yi looked at but didn’t buy.

“Yes…”

“Give me one — no, two.”

After buying the toy, Dong Yi heads straight to the hospital. She has asked Boss Qian, and Panpan is inside receiving an IV infusion.

She didn’t see Panpan at the engagement banquet and her heart is restless. After asking, she finds out that he’s indeed sick. She comes over just out of concern, but when she arrives at the hospital entrance, she’s afraid of running into Yu Mingyi, so she hesitates for a long time.

Unknowingly, the person she wants to see and is afraid to see is standing not far behind her, watching her from a distance.

In the end, Dong Yi enters the pediatric ward but doesn’t continue walking in. Instead, she goes to the registration area to ask the nurse.

“Is Yu Yibai being treated here?”

“You are…?”

“I’m a relative of his family. I want to give him this.” Dong Yi hands the bag to the nurse, containing not only the toy she bought for Panpan, but also carefully selected story books and some fruits.

“He’s right inside. Why don’t you go in and take a look? Deputy Director Yu is also here.”

This is the hospital where Eldest Sister-in-law works. Upon hearing that she’s a relative, the nurse immediately thinks of her relationship with Yu Zhaozhao. Panpan’s ward is right beside theirs, just a few meters away.

“I won’t go in. I have a cold, and I’m afraid of spreading it to the child.” Dong Yi doesn’t want to disturb Panpan’s life. His father wouldn’t want her to be seen by the child either…

She puts down her things and turns to leave, only to see Eldest Sister-in-law coming out of the ward. The nurse quickly calls out to her.

“Deputy Director Yu, a relative of yours is here!”

Eldest Sister-in-law looks at them. Dong Yi hurriedly turns to leave, but sees Yu Mingyi standing at the staircase entrance.

In that glance, time seems to freeze.

Dong Yi sees him and feels like her little secret has been exposed. Her heart starts beating faster, her face getting paler and paler. Fear wraps around her tightly. What to do now that she’s been seen…

Yu Mingyi didn’t expect his appearance to scare her like this. The way she looks at him also hurts him deeply. Is this how Da Yi should look at him?

Like a wounded little rabbit, she shrinks back in fear of him.

Previously, her gaze towards him had always been full of admiration. It was the kind of gaze that men couldn’t resist, incredibly pure. Later, it changed bit by bit. Yu Mingyi couldn’t describe her gaze now, but he knew he didn’t reject it and even… liked it.

To be precise, he liked it very much.

But now, everything seems terrible. She looks at him like a ferocious beast, trying to avoid him at all costs.

She’s been deliberately avoiding him at the wedding banquet, and now, when they’re only about ten meters apart, she has nowhere to hide. After being caught, all that’s left is her increasingly tense emotions.

It’s over now. He must hate her even more, thinking she approached him with a purpose.

There’s only one exit in this ward area. She turns around with nowhere to hide.

She can only watch Yu Mingyi slowly walk towards her, coming closer and closer…

“Second Brother, this girl must be Panpan’s doctor sister, right? He’s been crying and asking for Yi Yi today. He’d be so happy to see her… Ah!”

Eldest Sister-in-laws startled voice rings out. Yu Mingyi leaps forward and catches Dong Yi, who faints to the side.

Dong Yi’s anxiety intensifies as he gets closer and closer, and on top of being sick and weak, she can’t take the pressure. Her body gives in, and she falls down like a rag doll.

Yu Mingyi has scared Dong Yi into passing out.

“Da Yi! Are you OK?!” Yu Mingyi loses his composure as he holds Dong Yi in his arms.

But the girl in his arms lies still and peaceful, her eyes tightly closed, unresponsive.

Upon seeing this, Eldest Sister-in-law immediately calls for a stretcher to be sent to the emergency room. Hearing the commotion inside, Panpan runs out barefoot, disregarding his IV. Seeing his dad holding Yi Yi, whom he’s been thinking about for days, he gives an excited scream and runs towards them chubby-legged.

“Yi Yi!”

But Dong Yi doesn’t respond; she’s in Yu Mingyi’s arms, maintaining her passed-out pose.

Seeing that Yi Yi won’t respond to him, Panpan cries with all his might. Eldest Sister-in-law hurriedly embraces him, but Panpan doesn’t settle down, flailing hands and feet. While Yu Mingyi frantically runs to the emergency room carrying the fainted Dong Yi, Eldest Sister-in-law is left with her hands full, unable to calm down Little Panpan. She decides to use her trump card.

“Quick, dial this number, tell my family that something’s happened, and ask them to send backup!”

Xiao Qian and Yu Minglang arrive 15 minutes later.

Seeing them come, Eldest Sister-in-law waves frantically.

Quick, help me comfort Panpan. He’s been crying nonstop.”

Xiao Qian tries to take Panpan, but the child doesn’t stop crying.

With closed eyes and a raspy voice, he cries without tears, never giving up on making a racket.

This child has a stubborn and relentless disposition. Unlike other children who forget as soon as they see something, Panpan can focus on one thing for a long time if it catches his attention; if he doesn’t get the result he wants, he’ll keep going and can remember it for a long time.

A typical Virgo child…

As soon as Xiao Qian’s hand touches Panpan, he pulls away like an eel escaping from capture, slipping and twisting, refusing to be held.

This little guy…

Yu Minglang decides to step in after seeing Xiao Qian’s helpless expression.

He squats down and looks at the crying Panpan sitting on the ground, showing a vicious expression.

“Listen up, little brat! If you keep crying, I’m going to throw you on the road!”

As expected, Panpan stops crying and looks at him with teary eyes.

Yu Minglang looks at Xiao Qian triumphantly. See? When necessary, the right amount of viciousness is an essential means. There’s no reasoning with naughty children!

Yu Minglang’s parenting confidence doesn’t last longer than 30 seconds, for Panpan looks at him and continues to cry even harder.. It’s as if he’s telling Yu Minglang, “You stupid uncle, if you have the guts, hit me!”
