When Wen Haotian walked out of the hospital, he heaved a sigh of relief. Darren had prescribed him some more medicine. Great! Soon he wouldn't have to take these pills anymore. Half of the problem had been solved. All that was left was to wait, wait for a year later...
Xiaorou, although it's a pity, after all, I gave you your life, so now... you're just giving it back!
When Wen Haotian got home, Su Rou wasn't back yet. Aunt Yue was preparing dinner, but the whole house was filled with the smell of Chinese herbal medicine. He frowned slightly. This smell was really unpleasant.
"Sir, you're back."
"Yeah. Is Xiaorou's medicine not ready yet?" Wen Haotian asked.
"Not yet." Aunt Yue replied. It would take a long time to boil.
"Okay."
Although Wen Haotian didn't like this smell and it always put him in a bad mood when he got home from work, thinking that Su Rou didn't have much time left, he just let it be.
"Call me when dinner is ready." Wen Haotian said.
"Sure."
...
When Su Rou got home, a smile curled up on her lips. "Aunt Yue, give me my medicine."
"Okay. It's just finished boiling." Aunt Yue said and then poured the medicine from the medicine pot into a bowl.
Su Rou took it, took a deep breath, and then gulped it down in one go. Immediately, she took out a piece of chocolate from her pocket and popped it into her mouth.
Seeing how brave she was, Aunt Yue couldn't help wrinkling her face. "Little Miss, why did you drink it so quickly?"
"Um... Aunt Yue, please tell them later that I won't be back for dinner today." Su Rou said.
"Ah?" Aunt Yue was a bit confused.
"I'm going out to play with my classmates. I won't be back tonight."
"Okay. I'll tell Sir later." Aunt Yue nodded.
"Okay. Thank you, Aunt Yue. I'm going out." Su Rou politely thanked her.
"Sure. Little Miss, please be safe." Aunt Yue had a good impression of this polite little miss.
Actually, Su Rou was going on a date with Su Yuze, which was why she said so. Wen Haotian, who was very suspicious, would surely call her later, right? Maybe he wouldn't even allow her to go out...
But whatever!
Su Rou walked out of the house. Su Yuze's car was parked outside.
"Did you drink all your medicine obediently?" Su Yuze asked.
"Yeah, I drank it all... It's so bitter." Su Rou said with a bitter face.
"Is it bitter? Let me try." Su Yuze pulled Su Rou's head down and kissed her small mouth. His tongue circled in her mouth. After a while, he let her go. "It's sweet."
"Because I just ate chocolate."
"Hehe..." Su Yuze helped her fasten the seat - belt. "Let's go. I'll take you to eat something delicious."
"Okay."
Su Yuze took Su Rou to the most luxurious restaurant. It wasn't a Western restaurant but a Chinese - style one. Su Yuze knew Su Rou's taste. After staying in the US for some time, she must miss the food in China. He didn't know how much pocket money Wen Haotian would give her.
Su Rou liked spicy food very much. Although the spiciness in the US was a bit different from that in China, she still ate very heartily.
"Doesn't Wen Haotian give you anything to eat?" Su Yuze propped his chin and watched her while she was eating. Why did it seem like she hadn't eaten for several days?
"Aunt Yue isn't very good at cooking Chinese food." So the Chinese food cooked in the Wen family was just barely edible.
"Eat more."
In the end, Su Rou was full. Seeing her satisfied look, Su Yuze also curled his lips slightly. "Do you want to watch a movie?" They could really experience a Hollywood blockbuster in the US.
"Okay."
The sky had already darkened. Su Rou and Su Yuze walked out hand in hand, looking like a sweet young couple.
At the same time, it was dinner time in the Wen family. Aunt Yue finished cooking dinner and put it on the table. Then she went upstairs to call Wen Haotian.
"Sir, dinner is ready."
Wen Haotian opened his eyes and sat up lazily. "Okay, got it."
"Also, Little Miss said she went out to play with her classmates and won't be back tonight." Aunt Yue continued.
"What?" Wen Haotian, who had been drowsy just now, immediately became alert when he heard this news. "When did she say that?"
Wen Haotian's expression was a bit terrifying, which made Aunt Yue a bit nervous. "Just, just now. Little Miss came back, drank her medicine, and then left."
Wen Haotian frowned slightly. He couldn't help but worry. What if Su Rou just ran away? That wouldn't do!
"I see. Next time, don't let Little Miss go out so late casually... It's too dangerous at night." Wen Haotian said.
"Okay, got it." Aunt Yue retreated suspiciously. Could Miss Wen Tong go out for days and nights without coming home? Was Sir being overly worried about Little Miss?
Wen Haotian got out of bed and immediately picked up his phone to call Su Rou.
The phone rang many times before it was answered. Without waiting for Su Rou to speak, Wen Haotian immediately interrogated her. "Xiaorou, where are you? Why aren't you coming home?"
Since Su Rou was watching a movie in the cinema, her voice was naturally very low. "Didn't I tell Aunt Yue that I won't be back tonight?"
"No, you have to come home... You just got here. It's very dangerous outside." After a while, Wen Haotian noticed that Su Rou's voice on the phone was very low. He couldn't help asking curiously, "Where are you? Why is your voice like this?"
"I'm watching a movie with my friend outside. I won't be back tonight. That's it." Su Rou was a bit impatient. She hated this kind of controlled life.
"Wait, Xiaorou..." Wen Haotian hurriedly called out to her.
Beep beep beep -
Wen Haotian held the phone, a bit hesitant. On the one hand, he knew he couldn't restrict Su Rou too much, otherwise, something might be noticed. On the other hand, he couldn't help worrying. What if Su Rou always wanted to run away?
No, Xiaorou still had to stay at home!
Just then, Yao Yu walked into the room. Seeing Wen Haotian holding the phone and about to dial a number with a serious expression, she asked, "What's wrong? Who are you calling?"
"Xiaorou."
"I just heard from Aunt Yue that Xiaorou said she was going out to play with her friends and wouldn't be back tonight. Why are you still calling?" Yao Yu frowned, not quite in agreement.
"I'm not at ease." He couldn't afford to take any risks with his life now.
"Haotian!" Yao Yu stepped forward and took the phone away from him. "Do you have to drive Xiaorou crazy?"
Wen Haotian took a few deep breaths. "I can't afford any mistakes now."
"I think you're going to drive Xiaorou away!"
Wen Haotian pondered for a while. Yao Yu wasn't completely wrong. Well, he'd better not put too much pressure on Xiaorou for the time being... However, he would never let her go!
