Becoming The Bigshot's Only Love After Breaking Her Engagement-Chapter 611: The CEO’s Pursuit Turns into a Crematory of Heartbreak
Xie Mingyu was about to make a snide comment at Shangxue, but before he could open his mouth, Yanyan suddenly vomited again.
"Yanyan?"
Xie Mingyu was so frightened that he rushed over and held Yanyan, using a tissue to wipe his mouth.
Shangxue said, "Don’t hold him horizontally, hold him upright and pat his back."
"Oh, okay." Surprisingly, Xie Mingyu obediently followed her instructions.
Shangxue quickly asked someone to get water and fed Yanyan a few sips.
But now, Yanyan was vomiting everything he was fed, as soon as he drank, he vomited again.
Xie Mingyu was so anxious his eyes turned red, and he couldn’t stop his tears from falling: "Shangxue, what should we do? Why does he keep vomiting? Has Ye Ningwan left? Hurry, get someone to call her back."
Shangxue said, "Even if Miss Ye is here, it won’t help. A child’s illness needs a process. Don’t worry, give him to me, and don’t feed him anything right now. Once he’s done vomiting, he won’t vomit anymore."
"What kind of logic is that? He’s emptying his stomach, isn’t that uncomfortable?" Xie Mingyu said anxiously.
Shangxue said, "It’s not like you haven’t vomited before; eating while vomiting feels worse. Calm down, you’re just too anxious. Hand him over to me, don’t worry, he’ll be fine."
Seeing the determination in Shangxue’s eyes, Xie Mingyu’s restless heart gradually calmed down. With Shangxue around, he felt much more at ease.
After handing Yanyan over to Shangxue, he quickly asked the maid to prepare clean clothes for Yanyan to change into.
The clothes he just changed into earlier were already soiled with vomit.
But when he turned his head, seeing Cheng Yue still there, he couldn’t help but frown and ask, "Why are you still here?"
Cheng Yue felt awkward.
Shangxue also raised her head and said to Cheng Yue, "Cheng Yue, you should go back first!"
"Okay, I’m leaving now. If anything comes up, just call me." Cheng Yue nodded and left the place.
Xie Mingyu sneered with disdain.
When the maid brought fresh clothes, ready to change Yanyan, Shangxue said, "Don’t change him for now; constantly changing clothes is not good for his body. Just change the clean pad."
"Pad? What’s that?" Xie Mingyu asked, puzzled.
Shangxue sighed, "A clean towel will do too."
Xie Mingyu immediately asked someone to fetch a new towel but, still persistent, asked what a pad was.
Shangxue had to explain it to him.
It was only then that Xie Mingyu realized there was such a thing.
"I used them before too?"
"Of course, when young master was ill, we always used them. It’s just that the young master didn’t know, and I wouldn’t let you see those dirty things," Shangxue said.
Xie Mingyu promptly sent someone to buy new ones.
He’s been in good health these past few years; those things were thrown away long ago.
Shangxue placed the sleeping Yanyan on the bed, felt his head, which was still a bit hot, and asked Xie Mingyu to bring a warm towel to wipe Yanyan’s body and reduce the fever physically.
"Miss Ye’s medicine is quite effective; he’s not as feverish as before. Physical cooling methods are better," Shangxue explained.
Xie Mingyu asked with surprise, "You know medicine too now?"
"No, but after taking care of you for so long and being with Yanyan for a few years, I’ve gained experience."
"Experience is good, then Yanyan will definitely be fine!" Xie Mingyu asked expectantly.
Shangxue looked at him speechlessly, "Of course he’ll be fine. What, are you hoping Yanyan will have something wrong?"
"How could I? Seeing him in pain hurts me," said Xie Mingyu.
As he spoke, his eyes turned red again.
Shangxue was startled.
She knew Xie Mingyu had been in poor health since childhood, had taken countless medicines, and endured much suffering.
Back when Ye Ningwan used needles on him, it was so painful, but he never uttered a sound or shed a tear.
Yet now he was crying?
"You don’t need to worry; Yanyan will be fine," Shangxue said.
Xie Mingyu wiped his eyes, choking with emotion: "How can I not worry? He’s so small and has to endure this; just seeing it makes me upset."
Shangxue wanted to say, you endured more than this when you were small.
But thinking it over, she didn’t say it out loud.
Avoid saying it and seeming like she feels sorry for him.
Shangxue applied physical cooling to Yanyan, and it worked well.
By midnight, Yanyan’s temperature wasn’t as high anymore, he hadn’t vomited again, and was sleeping much more peacefully.
Seeing that Xie Mingyu was getting drowsy, Shangxue persuaded him, "You should go back and rest. I’ll take care of things here."
"How can that be? How can I let you take care of him alone?" Xie Mingyu immediately refused.
Shangxue said, "It’s not just me; there are maids too. Don’t worry, we’ll take good care of Yanyan."
Xie Mingyu was indeed tired, tears were about to fall from his eyes.
After hearing Shangxue say this, he hesitated, debating whether to take a rest.
Just as he stood up, he recalled what Ye Ningwan had told him, to take this opportunity seriously. Otherwise, there might never be another chance.
Thus, he sat back down and told the maids, "You go rest; we’ll take care of things here."
The maid looked surprised, as if doubting his ability to take care of anyone.
Xie Mingyu said angrily, "When I say rest, I mean it. We’re Yanyan’s biological parents; can’t we take care of him?"
Shangxue said, "It’s better if you get some rest. You’ve never been in good health; if you get exhausted, it’ll be even more troublesome."
At that point, she’d have to care for two.
Xie Mingyu frowned, "What, do you see me as that frail, unable even to care for my own son?"
Isn’t that true?
Shangxue thought quietly but dared not say it out loud.
"You’re overthinking things. I just meant you should go rest."
"I’m not resting. With Yanyan like this, how can I be at ease? I want to stay here and take care of him," Xie Mingyu said firmly.
Shangxue had no choice but to say, "Alright, do as you wish. Wen, you go rest."
"Okay, Miss Shangxue."
The maid obediently left.
Seeing that the maid listened to Shangxue so well and not to him, Xie Mingyu couldn’t help but mutter, "It seems you’re the one who trained them. They only listen to you and not to me."
"Mr. Xie is dissatisfied? If you’re not satisfied, you can replace everyone I’ve trained," Shangxue said coldly.
Xie Mingyu was actually trying to compliment Shangxue, who had taught well. Even after leaving for a few years, she still held influence.
He didn’t think Shangxue would misunderstand and think he was questioning her, even getting angry.
"I’m not dissatisfied; you’re just imagining things."
"Even if you won’t leave, you should lie down for a bit. The two of us shouldn’t both be watching him." Shangxue didn’t want to argue further, so she changed the subject.
Xie Mingyu saw this as a chance to prove himself.
"Shangxue, you lie down for a while. I’ll watch over Yanyan."
"How could that be?"
"Why not? I’m a man; my body is definitely stronger than yours. You go rest first," Xie Mingyu said confidently.
Shangxue gave a wry smile, "Mr. Xie, are you sure your body is stronger than mine?"
Was he joking with her or trying to play the hero?
"You just don’t believe in me." Xie Mingyu said angrily.
Seeing he was serious, Shangxue didn’t dare dispute further.
"Alright, I’ll rest first. You watch over Yanyan."
With that, she lay down beside Yanyan to sleep.
