Eternal Love: The Billionaire's Relentless Pursuit-Chapter 568 - 561: Her Hatred (Part 5)

After the funeral of her grandmother, Bai Yiran slept for three full days, only waking up to feed Xiao Xi or have meals, and spent the rest of the time sleeping in bed.

Sister Liu was very worried about Bai Yiran’s state, but she was helpless, only able to make delicious meals every day to supplement Bai Yiran’s nutrition.

During this period, Bai Yiran visibly lost weight.

Her grandmother passed away suddenly and quickly, without giving Bai Yiran time to mentally prepare. The last thing she said to Bai Yiran was that she wanted to see Xiao Xi and Xiao Lang, but in the end, she never saw the children.

Leng Yichen knew that Bai Yiran needed time to accept and process this matter.

Xiao Xi was still so young, without any concept of death. However, Xiao Lang had one. He knew that the great-grandmother who played with him every day, who took him to kindergarten, and took meticulous care of him would never come back.

Several times, Leng Yichen and Sister Liu found Xiao Lang hiding under the blanket secretly crying. He said he missed his great-grandmother but didn’t dare cry in front of Bai Yiran because he didn’t want to see Bai Yiran sad and upset.

Every time this happened, Leng Yichen would hug Xiao Lang, praising him as a sensible child, beyond which he could do nothing.

The passing of the grandmother was a considerable pain for everyone in this family.

Finally, in the morning of the fourth day, Bai Yiran got up early. Appearing neatly dressed at the dining table, she said, "Sister Liu, pour me a glass of milk."

Actually, Bai Yiran wanted to drink coffee, but her breastfeeding period hadn’t ended.

Leng Yichen came out of the gym and saw Bai Yiran drinking milk at the dining table, his eyes lit up. He walked over and gently ruffled Bai Yiran’s neatly combed hair, "Up early."

"What are you doing? You’ve messed up my hair!" Bai Yiran glared at Leng Yichen discontentedly, put down her cup, and returned to the dressing table in the bedroom to fix her hair.

Leng Yichen followed her in, his eyes closely watching Bai Yiran, a smile spreading across his lips.

Today, Bai Yiran had styled her hair into a neat ponytail, making her look particularly fresh and capable.

In front of the dressing table, Bai Yiran was fixing her hair. Suddenly, her waist tightened, and Leng Yichen’s sweaty body leaned in. He hugged Bai Yiran from behind, resting his chin on her shoulder, quietly watching her comb her hair. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝔀𝓮𝒃𝙣𝓸𝒗𝒆𝒍.𝙘𝒐𝒎

"Are you going out?" Leng Yichen asked.

Usually, when Bai Yiran was at home, she wore loose home clothes to make it easier to feed Xiao Xi.

However, today she had rarely put on a suit and tied her hair up, looking like she was going out.

"Yes." Bai Yiran nodded, looking at Leng Yichen in the mirror, "I’m going to the company today."

"Company? Whose company?"

"Whose company could it be? Yao Zhiqing’s company, that’s where I work." Bai Yiran said with a smile.

"What are you going there for?" Leng Yichen’s brow lightly furrowed, his heart vaguely guessing Bai Yiran’s intentions.

Bai Yiran glanced at Leng Yichen, "I want to go back and ask the HR department about returning to work early. I want to go back to work."

Just as expected! Leng Yichen stared at Bai Yiran, his expression indescribable, neither good nor bad.

"I disagree." Leng Yichen’s tone was calm, without fluctuation, merely stating his thoughts.

He disagreed.

"Why?" Bai Yiran had already fixed her hair, turned to look at Leng Yichen. "I’m going to mould if I stay home any longer."

"Xiao Xi is still so young. How can she be away from her mother?" Leng Yichen tightened his grip around Bai Yiran’s waist, pressing her body entirely against his, his eyes piercingly gazing at her.
