Chapter 805: Chapter 805: The Carefree Little One

Zhu Qianying had been sleeping soundly, but the moment she heard her daughter was sick, she sprang out of bed without any hesitation, ******** and headed straight out.

Yan Bo couldn’t help but admire the greatness of a mother’s love. A person who normally needed to daze for a good ten minutes upon waking was instantly fully alert at the mention of her daughter’s illness. As a father, he was diligent, yet he admitted he couldn’t reach her level of responsiveness.

"Mom, what’s wrong with Xiao Xiao?"

"She’s been coughing continuously, and since waking up, she refuses to go back to sleep. Right now, baby boy is soothing her."

When it came to comforting Xiao Xiao, neither Yan Bo nor the elderly Mrs. Yan felt they could match baby boy.

Zhu Qianying slightly furrowed her brow, "It might be because dinner was too greasy, which caused her to have excessive internal heat."

Although Xiao Xiao and baby boy were not picky eaters, Chen Jing usually planned their meals at home, which were then prepared by the Chef. The meals were nutritious and well-suited for the children’s bodies, and this was a main reason the two little ones seldom fell ill.

"Do we have any medicine?"

When the elder Mrs. Yan went out, handling things big and small was mostly Yan Bo’s responsibility, so there certainly wouldn’t be any children’s medicine in her luggage.

Luckily, Zhu Qianying, already a mother of two children, was, contrary to the elder Mrs. Yan, extremely attentive in these matters.

Even though their Family Doctor, Du Xuan, was always on call, she still kept a stock of children’s medicine at home — for internal heat, indigestion, fever, colds, coughs — a whole bunch stored at home.

This time, when going out, she only packed her own luggage, but as Yan Bo was packing for himself and the two children, he also considered the fact that his children were still young, and packed the small Medicine Box Zhu Qianying had prepared at home into the Luggage.

Now hearing his mother ask, he promptly replied, "Yes, I brought over the Medicine Box Qianying had prepared at home."

Saying this, he turned and ran back to the Bedroom, quickly returning with a small Medicine Box.

The three of them entered the bedroom, where Xiao Xiao, nestled in baby boy’s arms on the big bed, saw Mommy and Daddy and began to call out with a pitiable face.

"Mommy... Daddy... cough, cough, cough..."

Zhu Qianying and Yan Bo hurriedly climbed onto the bed. Yan Bo tenderly held the Little Baby in his arms, while Zhu Qianying leaned in and asked, "Baby, where does it hurt? Point it out to Mommy."

The little girl coughed a few more times and then pointed to her throat.

Zhu Qianying reached out to hold her chin, "Baby, open your mouth wide for Mommy!"

Although the little girl had a pained face, she cooperated fully, opening her mouth and calling out a few times.

"Mommy, little sister was coughing badly earlier... Is she alright?"

Baby boy was very concerned about his little sister and furrowed his brow as he conveyed his worry to Zhu Qianying.

"Her tonsils are a bit red; it seems like internal heat led to inflammation. We have medicine, and she’ll be fine after taking some."

Of course, Zhu Qianying couldn’t be certain it would be effective, but that was the only way to reassure baby boy. Otherwise, given how much baby boy treasured his sister, he’d be willing to stay up all night by her side.

"Xiao Xiao, don’t be scared, Mommy will find some medicine for you, and you’ll be fine after you take it!"

Baby boy had complete faith in Mommy, because whenever he occasionally fell ill as a child, Mommy would also get medicine from the Medicine Box, and after taking it, he’d be fine, hardly ever needing to go to the doctor.

Xiao Xiao pursed her lips and nodded, leaning weakly in Yan Bo’s arms.

Zhu Qianying took out a heat-clearing and anti-inflammatory sachet from the Medicine Box, mixed it with warm water into half a cup, and gave it to Xiao Xiao to drink. Then she took out half a tablespoon of the Lung Moisturizing Cough Syrup and gave it to Xiao Xiao to drink.

Little Baby thought all medicine would be bitter, but this sweet stuff that went into her mouth brought a smile to her originally grimaced face. She smacked her lips twice, looked up at Zhu Qianying, and said with a smile, "Sweet, sweet..."

Everyone’s tense hearts relaxed quite a bit at the little girl’s laughter.

This little girl, you could tell she was a carefree character.

"Mom, let Little Baby sleep with us tonight," Zhu Qianying said as she held Little Baby in her arms, looking up to consult The two old men’s opinions.

Madam Yan felt she did not have as much experience taking care of children as Zhu Qianying and hesitated, "But you have to go to work tomorrow."

"It’s okay, Little Baby took her medicine, she’ll sleep in a while too."

With Zhu Qianying having said this, Madam Yan could only nod. "Alright, that’s fine, then it’s up to both of you."

Hearing she would sleep with Daddy and Mommy, Little Baby wrapped her arms around Zhu Qianying’s neck and rested her head on her shoulder.

When the baby boy heard his sister would sleep with Daddy and Mommy, he slid off the bed too, "I want to sleep with Daddy and Mommy as well!"

The baby boy hadn’t slept with Zhu Qianying and the others for a long time, and his request to sleep together this time was mostly because he was worried about Little Baby.

Yan Bo looked at Zhu Qianying and saw she didn’t object, then he patted his son’s head and said, "Okay, we’ll all sleep together."

The bed in Yan Bo and Zhu Qianying’s bedroom was king-sized. The little boy and Little Baby conscientiously climbed to the middle of the bed, and Zhu Qianying and Yan Bo took one side each.

After taking her medicine, Little Baby’s coughing had significantly lessened. Initially, she lay in Zhu Qianying’s arms, babbling something inaudibly—probably some sort of complaint or coquetry. After about half an hour of muttering, her coughing was mostly gone, and the babbling stopped too.

The little boy and Yan Bo hadn’t slept yet, and now that Little Baby’s voice was gone, they peered over to look.

"Sister fell asleep, right?"

The little boy asked softly, leaning in close to Little Baby to examine her carefully.

Little Baby lay on her side in Zhu Qianying’s arms, her little hand grasping Zhu Qianying’s pajamas, her eyes closed, and her small nose moving with her breathing—it seemed she was indeed asleep.

"Alright, little boy, go to sleep now, and don’t disturb Mommy and your sister."

Yan Bo, who also peered over, naturally saw his daughter sleeping soundly and rubbed his son’s head. He held him as he turned over, covering him with the blanket.

The little girl hadn’t coughed all night, but Zhu Qianying still didn’t sleep very peacefully; when she woke up in the morning, Little Baby was still asleep. She carefully moved the little girl into Yan Bo’s arms and got out of bed herself.

Yan Bo asked her in a hushed voice why she was going to work as they had originally agreed Yan Bo would take her to work.

"I will have the driver take me. When Little Baby wakes up, check if she’s still not feeling well. If so, take her to see the doctor. I will come back early today."

Zhu Qianying was a dedicated professional who wouldn’t let family matters delay her work.

Otherwise, with her background, she would not have made it to her current position.

She arrived at Du Zhong’s studio half an hour earlier than the day before, carrying some snacks in her hands. They were made early by the chef in large quantities, so Zhu Qianying brought some over, thinking of sharing them with the people in the studio.

The studio was staffed by foreigners who rarely got to taste such authentic Chinese-style snacks, and they quickly divided up the delicious treats among themselves.

Du Zhong was quick and grabbed a few pieces first, now sitting in the office, slowly savoring them.
