A child without a mother would be different even if he had someone else's love.
What she couldn't bear to see the most now was Qi Youxuan's lonely look.
"Will you marry Dad?" Qi Youxuan looked up and asked, still a little nervous.
"As long as I can, I will." Ruan Danchen didn't want to lie. If she really couldn't get married because of the Shen family, she would disappoint her child.
"Dad said that he would marry you when he was at Uncle's house. He will definitely do what he said," Qi Youxuan said. Although he and Qi Chenglin often complained about each other, he still trusted Qi Chenglin very much.
"Yes." Ruan Danchen nodded.
Qi Youxuan seemed to have put down a big stone in his heart, so he continued to eat the noodles.
Qi Chenglin came back at four in the afternoon. Qi Youxuan's cold symptoms were much better.
Seeing Qi Chenglin enter the door, Ruan Danchen said in surprise, "Why are you back so early?"
"I was afraid that you would be too tired at home alone," Qi Chenglin said.
"I'm not alone. Isn't Aunt Zheng with me?" Ruan Danchen took the black sheepskin coat he took off. "As for you, did you work hard at the company so that you could come back early?"
She was right. She even rejected a dinner invitation.
However, Qi Chenglin wouldn't admit it. He only said, "No, there wasn't much work today."
Ruan Danchen believed him for the time being.
"How is Youxuan?" Qi Chenglin asked.
"He's much better." Ruan Danchen put Qi Chenglin's coat on her arm and followed him back to the bedroom. After Qi Chenglin changed his clothes, she went to see Qi Youxuan.
Qi Youxuan was drinking the sugar white fungus and lotus seed soup that Ruan Danchen made for her while reading a comic book. It was quite comfortable and he looked much better.
Hearing the sound of the door opening, Qi Youxuan looked up and cried out in surprise, "Dad, you're back so early! Because you were worried about me? "
Qi Chenglin actually wanted to come back to help Ruan Danchen, but seeing the little guy's surprised expression and looking at him with a pair of big watery eyes, he couldn't bear to disappoint his son, so he just replied with a "Yeah."
"Dad, you're really embarrassing." Qi Youxuan saw Qi Chenglin's reaction and misunderstood.
Qi Chenglin: "…"
"Youxuan, what do you want to eat tonight?" Ruan Danchen asked.
"I want to eat Sweet and Sour Pork Ribs, Fried Prawns, Fried Chicken Wings, and Meat and Bone." As Qi Youxuan spoke of these, he could already picture the dishes in his mind. He could even smell the aroma. He couldn't help but swallow his saliva.
Qi Chenglin's eyelids twitched, and the corners of his mouth twitched. "It seems much better. In that case, go to school tomorrow. "
Qi Youxuan: "…"
"My head hurts." Qi Youxuan dropped the comic book and covered his head with his chubby hands.
Qi Chenglin: "…"
"Get up quickly." Qi Chenglin said, "Tonight, Little Yang will go to school and write down everything he learned today. Then, he will come and tell you. Take a good look and don't forget your homework."
Helpless, Qi Youxuan could only put down the bowl and reluctantly climb up from the small bed before carrying the bowl out again.
Of course, they didn't make all the dishes that Qi Youxuan had ordered for dinner. He was sick and couldn't eat so much hot food. Ruan Danchen only made sweet and sour pork ribs for him. The rest were all refreshing to relieve heat.
The next morning, Qi Youxuan woke up full of energy. In the end, Ruan Danchen caught a cold from him.
When she woke up, she felt weak all over. Qi Chenglin was still sleeping. She wanted to get up quietly, but who knew that her nose would itch and she would suddenly sneeze loudly, scaring Qi Chenglin awake.
Ruan Danchen felt that her nose was blocked. It was sore and itchy, and she couldn't help but sniff.
"What's wrong? Did you catch a cold? " Qi Chenglin sat up and rubbed his face. He sobered up a little and looked at Ruan Danchen, who was sitting by the bed and sniffling.
"I think so. My nose feels sore and my body feels warm," Ruan Danchen said. Her nose was so sore that she couldn't even open her eyes.
Qi Chenglin hurriedly touched her forehead and tested it. She didn't have a fever.
"Why don't you take the day off and not go?" Qi Chenglin said. He didn't expect that before the younger one had recovered, the older one was sick again.
"No need, it's just a small cold. I took the day off yesterday. It's not good if I don't go today," Ruan Danchen said. She hadn't been working for long, but she had already taken two days off.
Qi Chenglin couldn't force her, so he could only agree. He wanted to pay more attention to her health in the company.
He also asked Auntie Zheng to find the cold medicine and asked Ruan Danchen to take it with her.
When they went out, Ruan Danchen and Qi Youxuan each wore a mask. Ruan Danchen's mask was quite normal, but Qi Youxuan's mask was printed with a pig's nose. When he wore it on his face, he looked like a little pig.
Even Qi Chenglin couldn't help but smile when he saw it.
After sending the little fellow to Jixia Academy, Ruan Danchen sat in the front passenger seat. Qi Chenglin saw that she looked so uncomfortable that she couldn't even open her eyes and said, "We were originally scheduled to go to the north of the city for a field trip tomorrow. Why don't we reschedule it?"
"We've already agreed on it, and you're so busy. If we reschedule it, it'll mess up all your arrangements. I'm fine," Ruan Danchen said.
Qi Chenglin didn't have to go to the field trip in the north of the city personally. However, Ruan Danchen had just arrived in Qi Lin and didn't have a job on hand. It was inevitable that she would be criticized.
Ever since Ruan Danchen was in the city, Qi Chenglin had already made up his mind to let Ruan Danchen handle this business. No matter which company Ruan Danchen was in, the business would follow her wherever she was.
However, if Ruan Danchen went to the north of the city, it was impossible for him not to follow her. In Qi Chenglin's opinion, it was either both of them going or neither of them going.
However, if they didn't go, Ruan Danchen's name would be on the list. He reckoned that Ruan Danchen wouldn't be able to handle herself in the office.
Ruan Danchen sniffled again and sucked on a throat lozenge. She turned around and asked him, "Actually, you don't have to go personally."
Qi Chenglin glanced at her and reached out with his thin and elegant hand to hold her hand. "Usually, the two of us are rarely alone together. This is the only time we can be together. Most of the time, we're separated by Youxuan, who's a huge light bulb. It's difficult to find a time for the two of us. That's why I wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to be alone with you. "
"…" However, Ruan Danchen was thinking that he felt that Youxuan's light bulb was too wattage. This was a business trip with so many colleagues. How much wattage would it have to be?
Not only was the wattage large, but there were also many light bulbs.
At noon, Ruan Danchen sneaked into Qi Chenglin's office when no one was looking.
Because she had a cold and had no appetite, Qi Chenglin specially ordered some light dishes for her. Ruan Danchen looked at the table full of vegetables and said, "Is this enough for you?"
"If I'm hungry, I'll get someone to buy more," Qi Chenglin said as he handed over the chopsticks.
After lunch, Qi Chenglin timed it so that Ruan Danchen could take her medicine. Then, he let her rest in his office for a while. It was indeed easy to feel sleepy after taking cold medicine. Ruan Danchen was in a daze and soon fell asleep.
However, before she fell asleep, she specially set an alarm. When it was almost the end of the lunch break, she woke up and went out of the office. However, she didn't expect to run into a group of people from the secretarial office who had just come back from lunch. When they saw Ruan Danchen coming out of the general manager's office, they were shocked.
Fortunately, Jiang Yuan reacted quickly. He took a stack of documents and handed them to Ruan Danchen. He also said, "I'm sorry to ask you to come up to work during the lunch break."
"It's okay." Ruan Danchen quickly used this as a stepping stone.
Sure enough, the few people in the secretarial office stopped looking surprised and returned to the office.
Ruan Danchen gave Jiang Yuan a grateful smile. Jiang Yuan smiled and nodded. Ruan Danchen also returned to the design department.
Not long after work in the afternoon, Manager Zou came in from outside.
He clapped his hands twice to attract the attention of the staff. He said, "About the business trip to the north of the city with the general manager tomorrow, I'll say something about the field trip. The general manager said that he would choose three designers. I'll announce the list. "
Everyone pricked up their ears and wanted to fight for this opportunity.
Since Qi Chenglin said it last time, the people in the office had secretly tried to please Manager Zou.
"This time, your Sister Du will lead the team, followed by Chen Siyu and Ruan Danchen," Manager Zou said.
The others who were not chosen frowned. They had no objections to Sister Du and Chen Siyu, but Ruan Danchen had just come to Qi Lin. Even if she was a good friend of the wife of the president, there was no need to do this, right?
"Manager Zou, why can a newcomer like Ruan Danchen take on such a big job?" Yao Jingfei asked first when no one else said anything. "Manager, is it because she is close to the wife of the president that you want to please her?"
Manager Zou raised his eyebrows and pursed his lips. "You are the daughter of the director. Do you see me trying to please you? Why is it that everywhere has something to do with you? The others haven't said anything, but you are a designer's assistant. Why are you stirring up trouble? If you think it's unfair, hurry up and resign. Don't mess up the atmosphere in our department! "
Yao Jingfei blushed at Manager Zou's words. She heard him say, "You said that Danchen had no work to do and you complained. Now that Danchen has work to do, you still want to complain. Do you want to fire her so that you can stop complaining?"
Yao Jingfei's face was livid. She felt that Manager Zou was always targeting her.
"Let me say this too. Our department doesn't keep idlers. I have been thinking about arranging a job for Danchen. This is a good opportunity. We can't let her do nothing, right? Moreover, the design work this time was not done by Danchen alone. She was done with Sister Du and Chen Siyu. I can also take a look at Danchen's ability. If she can't do it, we might have to change her halfway. Not just for Danchen, but for all of you, "Manager Zou said.
With that said, no one had any more objections.
This was just a small episode. On Friday, Ruan Danchen, Sister Du, and Chen Siyu all came with a small bag of luggage.
When they went out in the morning, Qi Youxuan saw the luggage the two of them left at the entrance and suddenly had a bad feeling.
"Dad, are you planning to elope with Auntie Ruan?" Qi Youxuan grabbed Ruan Danchen's clothes tightly and refused to let go. He was afraid that the two of them would leave him behind without saying a word.
That wouldn't do. He already lost his mother. He couldn't lose his father too.
He still remembered a time when he was at his grandmother's house, watching a movie with her. That movie was about a young lady who was abducted and sold into a family in a remote mountainous area to become a daughter-in-law. At first, she tried to escape but failed. Later on, she became pregnant with the man's child.
That woman used the time she was pregnant to start planning her escape. After she gave birth to the child, she secretly ran away.
At that time, she quietly prepared her luggage. Qi Youxuan felt that it was the same as today.
The corner of Qi Chenglin's eyes twitched. "What kind of nonsense are you watching on TV again?"
Qi Youxuan pouted and didn't say anything. He just pulled Ruan Danchen in. "If you guys elope, can you bring me along? I definitely won't give you any trouble. I'll just eat less in the future. "
