Priceless Baby’s Super Daddy

The next day, Xu Xiyan woke up early and cooked some nutritious porridge, just like she had done the day before. She also prepared some exquisite and appetizing side dishes. After packing the food, she made her way towards the barracks to find Ye Xun.

“Second senior, can you accompany me today?”

Ye Xun lay in bed, wrapped in a blanket as he pretended to be asleep. That’s right, he was being deliberate. He just didn’t want to accompany her to the hospital.

“Second senior!”

Xu Xiyan shouted several times but Ye Xun was still ignoring her. Xu Xiyan felt her blood boiling. She had no choice but to kick him, sending him and his blanket rolling off the bed and onto the floor.

Ker-thunk! Ye Xun fell to the ground and hit his head against the sharp corner of a table leg, pain flaring up in his head. “Little Xixi, you mother*cker! Would it kill you to treat me more gently?”

Xu Xiyan rolled her eyes. “Who told you to ignore me!? You deserve it!”

Ye Xun picked himself up from the ground and flung his blanket back onto his bed. His face had darkened as if a storm was coming. He seemed to have been greatly angered.

Xu Xiyan understood him well and knew that he tended to wake up on the wrong side of the bed. If someone was to offend him, he would show his attitude for the whole day.

She still needed his pass to enter the hospital later. Xu Xiyan cleared her throat and said, “Okay, second senior, I was wrong just now. I apologize, please don’t be angry.”

In order to please him, she helped find his clothes and brought them to him obediently. “My Lord, you have the heart of a lion and you should not mind the misdeeds of a mouse. They say a great person’s magnanimity is as vast as the sea. Oh, I pray you forgive me!”

“Hmph, not bad.” Ye Xun was the type of person who would give in to gentle persuasion but not forceful demands. Whenever Xu Xiyan offended him, all she needed to do was to soften her tone and show some affection toward him. It was guaranteed to work every time and it was considered easy to persuade him.

The two arrived at the hospital. Just like last time, Xu Xiyan stayed put nearby the ward and waited as Ye Xun took the food into the room.

Within a few minutes, Ye Xun returned. Xu Xiyan went up to him and asked, “How is he? Did he eat the food I made him?”

“No.” Ye Xun shook his head and told her bluntly, “He seemed to be gone. The ward is empty.”

“What? He’s gone?”

Xu Xiyan could not believe it. She ran into the ward to look. It was just like Ye Xun said; the ward was empty. Everything was neat and clean inside as if the room had been cleaned as a procedure after the patient was discharged.

Is he gone?

He had not recovered from his injuries yet. Where could he go?

Xu Xiyan became even anxious. Just then, a nurse passed by. She stopped the nurse and asked her, “Hello there, Miss. Could you tell me where the patient of this ward is?”

The nurse took a look at the ward number, then answered, “Oh, Mr. Huo has been discharged.”

“When did he leave? He still hasn’t recovered from his injuries!”

Xu Xiyan was becoming so anxious that she was about to burst into tears. She had no idea what was going on. Why didn’t Huo Yunshen say anything before he left?

“He was discharged from the hospital last night. I heard that he is returning to Zstan.” The nurse finished her words and left.

Xu Xiyan was dumbstruck on the spot. She could roughly guess that it was most likely because of Huo Yunshen’s mother; she had insisted that Huo Yunshen was to return to Zstan and he had no choice but to obey her.

What should she do now?

“Little Xixi, I think you should go back to base with me.” Ye Xun reached out to grab her wrist, wanting to take her back.

Xu Xiyan shook his hand off and looked at him seriously. “Second senior, lend me your phone. I want to buy a flight ticket. I must get a ticket for a flight today, or tomorrow at the latest. I want to return to Zstan.”

Ye Xun’s eyes went wide with disbelief. “Are you crazy?!”

Perhaps Xu Xiyan had really gone “mad.” From the moment she learned that Huo Yunshen had left without saying goodbye, her heart was taken away too.

She was worried because his injuries had not fully healed and every moment she was anxious about him. She couldn’t wait anymore, not even for another second. She wanted to see him right away.

At this time, in another ward on the same floor, Helian Qingyu woke up.

His adjutant went up to him and asked, “General, are you awake?”

“I’m not dead. Who saved me?”

Helian Qingyu confirmed that he was not dead. He recalled that he had been attacked near the bar and he was seriously injured. His mind faintly remembered a hazy impression of someone.

He was sure that it was a woman who had saved him.

Although he hadn’t looked at her face clearly, he remembered her voice.

“Sir, it was Nightfall, the commander of the JS First Squadron, who sent you to the hospital.”

“What about the girl?”

The adjutant was puzzled. He didn’t know any girl. “What girl, General?”

“The girl who saved my life. Who is she?”

The adjutant was even more confused. He shook his head. “I didn’t see any girl. I only know that it was Nightfall who saved you.”

Helian Qingyu furrowed his thick eyebrows. Was it because he had been injured and fallen unconscious? Was the girl he saw was only a hallucination?

Thinking back carefully, his memory of the girl was faint and blurry in his mind, but he remembered her bright eyes—they were more beautiful than the stars. He was sure of it.

“No, that’s not right. Go ask Nightfall again,” Helian Qingyu ordered.

“Yes, sir!” The adjutant obeyed and withdrew from the ward in a hurry, brushing past Xu Xiyan, who stood outside the door.

He had no idea that the girl his superior was looking for was not far in the distance, but just right under his nose.

…

Two days later, Xu Xiyan finally flew to Peijing. Ye Xun had also returned with her.

In order to keep some details of the terrorist attack in Estan country confidential, news articles about the incident only occupied a small area of the current affairs section of the newspapers in Peijing. Nobody knew who the two important people who got injured from the attack were.

As soon as she landed at Zstan, she raced back to Shengshi Yujing and avoided Ye Xun. Xu Xiyan went into Huo Yunshen’s apartment through the crystal closet door but found that he wasn’t there.

He still hasn’t recovered from his injuries, so maybe he is in the hospital, Xu Xiyan guessed.

In any case, she should get in touch with Huo Yunshen first.

Her old phone was broken. Xu Xiyan went to buy a new mobile phone but she had forgotten to bring her ID. They could not reissue a new SIM card for her so she could only buy a temporary one and use that for the time being.

Xu Xiyan felt a hint of excitement as she dialed Huo Yunshen’s number.

The call connected but no one answered.

Xu Xiyan began to feel a bit anxious. Could it be that Huo Yunshen had lost his mobile phone?

At the same time, at the Huo family mansion, Huo Yunshen was lying in bed in his own room. Faraway on a table, his phone rang. He wanted to get up to see who was calling.

Just then Chen Yunlu was entering his room with a tray of food and saw him trying to get up. She quickly put the tray down on a small table in front of him and came over and held him down. “Yunshen, don’t move. You might irritate your wounds. Lie down! Just lie down!”

“Mom, my phone is ringing. Please bring it to me,” Huo Yunshen said.

Chen Yunlu had guessed that he was definitely still not giving up on Jing Xi. He must’ve been waiting for her call.

Not wanting her son to be disturbed, Chen Yunlu walked over to his phone, picked it up and took a glance at it. She told him, “It’s an unknown number. Must be some random real estate broker.”

“Mom, just bring it to me.”

Not only did Chen Yunlu refuse to hand the phone over to him, but she had also taken the liberty of rejecting the call, and then confiscated his phone.

“No. From now on, until you’ve recovered from your wounds, I shall keep your phone. You will rest with peace of mind!”
