I'm In Love With the Guy I Grew Up With-Chapter 733: Consecutive Plots 2
Even though Ning Jingshen had hurt her countless times, the moment she truly saw him in an accident, the bond of blood momentarily transcended the hatred.
He’s alive, and she can detest him as she pleases.
But if he were to die, she would no longer have a father...
Ji Yebai realized the seriousness of her lost composure and grasped Ning Xixi’s shoulders sternly, "Xixi, calm down! Stop letting your imagination run wild, go put on your coat, wait for me, and let me handle it, alright?"
Ning Xixi was in a daze, and Ji Yebai had to repeat himself before she went upstairs, listlessly grabbing a coat.
When she came downstairs, Ji Yebai had finished his phone call and looked even more somber.
According to the information he received, the car involved in the accident was indeed Ning Jingshen’s...
He couldn’t find out the specifics, only that Ning Jingshen had been taken to Ren’ai Hospital.
He took Ning Xixi’s little hand firmly and cupped her small face, his gaze deep like the stars in the universe, flickering on and off, vast and boundless.
"We’ll go see him together."
Ning Xixi nodded hastily, holding back the tears threatening to spill from her eyes.
The incident happened so suddenly that Ji Yebai was unsettled, afraid to drive himself, and instead called for a driver to ensure safety.
"To Ren’ai Hospital."
On the way, he held Ning Xixi tight in his arms.
The tiny girl shivered ceaselessly in his embrace, head bowed; she bit the back of her own hand to stop herself from making any sound.
This stubborn and persistent Ning Xixi always reminded him of the stray cats in the streets and alleys, who, even in their last breath, had their own pride and dignity.
Quietly, he took her hand away from her mouth, his long distinct fingers scratching her chin like coaxing a child, "If you want to bite, bite me, not yourself!"
Ning Xixi’s voice was tinged with a whiny cry, "Mmm..."
...
Ren’ai Hospital.
When Ning Xixi got out of the car, her legs were trembling, feeling weak.
Ji Yebai directly scooped her up and carried her across his arms at a rapid pace. After asking the nurse for Ning Jingshen’s ward number, he took her to the elevator.
Today the hospital was extraordinarily crowded, the elevator was so packed that there was no room to move. Seeing the pale-faced and red-eyed little girl in his arms, Ji Yebai felt a pang in his heart and instead carried her into the nearby emergency staircase.
Ning Xixi tugged on his shirt, surprised, "But it’s on the 16th floor..."
"You’re questioning my strength?" His tone left no room for argument. 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝓮𝒘𝙚𝙗𝒏𝙤𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝒐𝙢
"It will be tiring..." Ning Xixi whispered.
Ji Yebai was already carrying her up rapidly, and he scolded:
"Idiot! No matter how tired, I will carry you up there!"
...
Many people were waiting outside Ning Jingshen’s ward, Ning Xixi vaguely recognized some relatives from the Ning Family, high-level executives from Ning Corporation, and Gong Xiu, leaning against the wall with half-closed phoenix eyes.
Ji Yebai put her down and asked Gong Xiu, "How’s the situation?"
Gong Xiu shook his head, "I just arrived, not quite sure. But... from what I heard from the doctors, it doesn’t seem very optimistic..."
As they spoke, a figure with an imposing presence appeared in front of the elevator, the crisp sound of high heels approached from afar, and the people nearby whispered amongst themselves:
"Mrs. Ning is here."
"President Lu is here."
Lu Qinghe stood still, looked around, and when she saw Ning Xixi, she shrieked as if she had seen the murderer of her father: "You unfilial daughter, how dare you show your face here?"
