Chapter 797: Anxious

Although Shu Pan wasn’t working, she didn’t feel bored at all because Xiaobao took up most of her time.
Occasionally, Ye Xiaomeng would bring her daughter over for a play date. Her daughter’s name was He Shiyu, nickname Beibei.
The two kids really made people laugh when they were together, doing all sorts of amusing things.
The two little fellows who couldn’t even stand steadily had started competing with each other. Every time Shu Pan saw Beibei and picked her up, she would see her Xiaobao’s tender lips purse into a straight line. He would look extremely wronged and on the verge of tears. He would then stagger over to Shu Pan, hug her thigh, and look up to her with his big watery eyes. This look of his could get him anything.
When that happened, the adults would be laughing hysterically but the two little fellows were completely clueless.
Happy times like that passed quickly. Shu Pan spent every day contented, without any boredom or worry. She watched Joy read and Xiaobao learning to walk, speak, stumble, fall and get up again. Every little progress they made was a happy and proud moment for her as a parent.
There was nothing more satisfying than watching her kids grow.
Gu Shaoting had also tried to work less. He was busy at the beginning of the year, but now when things were getting on track, he was less busy and would try to leave work before lunchtime. Unless there was something urgent, he would spend the rest of the day with his wife and children.
After all, a person’s childhood was short and companionship was the best gift to a child.
…
One day, Shu Pan took Xiaobao to Ye Xiaomeng’s house for a play date. Since Ye Xiaomeng came to their place for play dates most of the time, Shu Pan realized that she hadn’t left the house for a while and decided to go over this time.
She packed Xiaobao’s things and asked the chauffeur to send them there.
Before she had Xiaobao, she would take a taxi wherever she went, but taking a taxi was inconvenient now with a child, so Gu Shaoting hired a chauffeur.
When they arrived at Ye Xiaomeng’s house, Beibei was extremely happy. Xiaobao was also dancing with joy. He rarely left the house, so he was curious about everything.
The two kids quickly got busy playing. When it was almost noon, Shu Pan’s phone suddenly rang. The caller ID showed that it was Gu Shaoting.
Why did he call her out of the blue?
Shu Pan immediately pressed the answer button and said without hesitation, “Hello?”
It was noisy on the other end of the phone. There seemed to be many people. Shu Pan recognized a familiar voice among the crowd. It was Auntie Li’s voice and she was saying, “They’ve gone in. I’m so anxious.”
“Hey, nurse, what’s going on inside?”
Did Shu Pan hear the word “nurse”? Was someone ill?
Shu Pan frowned as she heard nothing back on the phone. Her heart jumped into her throat as she said again, “Hello?”
There was still no response. Shu Pan had no choice but to speak again. “Shaoting? What’s wrong?”
She was getting anxious too.
“What do you mean by not optimistic?” Auntie Li’s voice sounded again. Shu Pan couldn’t hear her clearly as she seemed far away but Auntie Li’s words were really frightening.
Shu Pan’s heart tightened again. “Shaoting, please say something.”
Gu Shaoting finally responded curtly, “I’m here.”
“What’s going on?” Shu Pan asked anxiously. The snippets of conversation she heard over the phone was really scary.
Ye Xiaomeng saw Shu Pan’s anxious expression and knew that something was wrong, so she volunteered to look after Xiaobao.
