R70 Chapter 12

Yunzhu, You Don’t Have to Resist Me So Much

Wu Yunzhu looked coldly at Xie Yun, her tone unwavering. “Xie Yun, Jianhua is the child you adopted, not mine. If you want to save him, figure it out yourself. Don’t try to morally blackmail me here.”

Xie Yun’s face instantly turned deathly pale. He opened his mouth as if to say something more, but Wu Yunzhu had already forcefully closed the door.

“Bang!“

The door slammed shut heavily. Xie Yun stood outside, the young Jianhua still unconscious in his arms, breathing rapidly.

His tears finally couldn’t help but fall, his voice trembling: “Yunzhu, are you really this heartless? Jianhua is just a child…”

Wu Yunzhu leaned against the door, listening to Xie Yun’s crying, but her heart didn’t waver in the slightest.

In her previous life, when she had knelt in the snow holding Xiaojun, desperately begging him, what had she received?

She had received cold mockery from him and Cheng Yaoyao, and even…

Wu Yunzhu trembled with rage, barely able to suppress the fury in her heart that made her want to kill him!

Just then, a series of hurried footsteps suddenly came from outside the door, followed by a familiar voice. “Xie Yun, what are you doing here?”

It was Yuan Ye.

Wu Yunzhu’s heart jumped. She hadn’t expected Yuan Ye to appear at this moment.

She hesitated, selfishly not wanting Yuan Ye to get involved in this matter, so she opened the door.

Outside, Yuan Ye was looking coldly at Xie Yun, his eyes carrying a hint of warning.

Seeing Yuan Ye, Xie Yun’s expression became even more unpleasant, but he still said stubbornly, “Team Leader Yuan, Jianhua is sick. I just wanted to ask Yunzhu for help…”

Yuan Ye didn’t acknowledge Xie Yun, but instead turned to look at Wu Yunzhu, his tone gentle. “Yunzhu, are you alright?”

Wu Yunzhu shook her head and said quietly, “I’m fine, it’s just that he keeps pestering me.”

Yuan Ye nodded, then looked at Xie Yun, his tone icy. “Xie Yun, if Jianhua is sick, take him to the hospital. Don’t disturb Yunzhu here. She’s not your family’s nanny—she has no obligation to help you take care of your child.”

Xie Yun’s face turned from red to white. He gritted his teeth, his voice filled with unwillingness. “Team Leader Yuan, this is a family matter between Yunzhu and me. Aren’t you overstepping?”

Yuan Ye gave a cold laugh, his eyes sharp as knives. “A family matter? The child in your arms wasn’t even born by Yunzhu—how is this a family matter!”

Xie Yun was intimidated by Yuan Ye’s presence and didn’t dare speak further.

“If you don’t hurry to the hospital, I estimate the child in your arms won’t be burning hot anymore, but ice cold.”

Yunzhu’s eyes were pitch black as she looked at him, making Xie Yun feel chilled to the bone, but he also knew she was speaking the truth.

Xie Yun looked down at little Jianhua in his arms, and finally gritted his teeth and turned to leave quickly.

Watching Xie Yun’s figure disappear at the alley entrance, Wu Yunzhu finally breathed a sigh of relief.

She turned to look at Yuan Ye and said softly, “Thank you, Team Leader Yuan.”

Yuan Ye shook his head, looking at the people around them, his tone somewhat restrained.

“No need to thank me. I’m just glad you’re alright.”

Wu Yunzhu looked at Yuan Ye and, after hesitating, still asked, “Work isn’t over yet at this time—how did you happen to be here?”

Yuan Ye smiled, his tone relaxed. “I just happened to be passing by. I heard a commotion here and came to check.”

Wu Yunzhu didn’t ask further. She knew Yuan Ye’s appearance was definitely not a coincidence.

But she didn’t point it out, just said softly, “Come in and sit for a while. I’ll pour you some tea.”

Yuan Ye nodded and followed Wu Yunzhu into the courtyard.

The two sat in the courtyard. Wu Yunzhu poured Yuan Ye a cup of tea, and the atmosphere became somewhat silent.

Yuan Ye picked up the teacup, took a light sip, then spoke, “Yunzhu, you don’t need to worry about Xie Yun’s matters. If you don’t want to go back with him, no one can force you.”

Although Wu Yunzhu was happy, she still remained silent for a moment, then said quietly, “Actually… I don’t need you to do so much for me.”

She didn’t want to involve Yuan Ye just yet.

Her great revenge was still unavenged—she really couldn’t settle down and be with Yuan Ye.

“Yunzhu, perhaps you don’t have to resist me so much.”

Yuan Ye’s voice, tinged with bitterness, rang out. Wu Yunzhu’s heart jumped sharply. She lowered her head, her fingers unconsciously rubbing the edge of the teacup.

“Team Leader Yuan, I…” Actually, it’s not that I’m resisting you.

Wu Yunzhu opened her mouth but said nothing.

Yuan Ye just smiled, stood up and said, “It’s getting late. I should head back. Rest well, and if you need anything, come find me anytime.”

Wu Yunzhu nodded and saw Yuan Ye to the door.

Watching his tall figure gradually disappear at the alley entrance, she suddenly felt an unprecedented sense of security in her heart.

On the other side, Xie Yun held Jianhua and hurried toward the hospital with quick steps.

The child in his arms remained unconscious, his face flushed, breathing rapidly, his small body frighteningly hot.

Xie Yun’s heart felt like it was being squeezed tightly by an invisible hand, each step feeling like walking on knife points.

“Jianhua, hang in there. Dad will get you to the hospital right away…”

Xie Yun’s voice trembled. After all, this was his first child—to say he wasn’t panicking would be a lie.

People came and went on the street, but Xie Yun felt as if he was in another world.

All he could hear was Jianhua’s weak breathing; all he could see was the direction of the hospital.

His steps grew faster and faster, almost running, sweat sliding down his forehead and soaking his collar.

Finally, the hospital gates appeared before him. Xie Yun almost rushed in, heading straight for the emergency room.

His voice was hoarse and urgent. “Doctor! Doctor! Please save my son!”

Several nurses came running at the sound. Seeing the unconscious child in Xie Yun’s arms, they immediately realized the severity of the situation.

They quickly took Jianhua, placed him on a stretcher, and rushed toward the emergency room.

Xie Yun followed behind, his steps unsteady, his eyes panicked.

His clothes were already soaked with sweat, his disheveled hair plastered to his face.

He wanted to follow them in, but was stopped by a nurse at the door.

“Family members please wait outside. The doctors will do everything they can.”

The nurse’s voice was calm and professional, but it made Xie Yun’s heart tighten even more.

He stood at the emergency room door, his hands hanging limply at his sides, his eyes staring vacantly at that tightly closed door.

The hospital’s noisy sounds filled his ears, but his world seemed to contain only the silence behind that door.

Time passed minute by minute. Xie Yun’s heart felt like it was being gnawed by countless ants.

He kept pacing back and forth, his fingers unconsciously clenching and releasing, his nails digging deep into his palms, yet he felt no pain.

“Jianhua, you must hold on… Dad can’t lose you…”

Xie Yun’s voice was so low it was almost inaudible. He leaned against the wall, his body slowly sliding down until he finally crouched on the floor.

After what seemed like an eternity, the emergency room door finally opened.

The doctor came out, his face tired but wearing an expression of relief.

“The child is out of danger now. It was acute pneumonia. Fortunately, you brought him in time.”

The doctor’s voice was like heavenly music, finally allowing Xie Yun’s heart to settle.

He staggered to his feet, his voice hoarse. “Thank you, doctor, thank you…”

The doctor nodded, then said, “The child needs to stay in the hospital for observation for a few days. Go complete the admission procedures.”
