Defrosting The Cold Young Master-Chapter 1926 - 1930: Acting Cute

After hanging up the phone, she stood up, "I need to go back and check."

"Go ahead," Gu Junzhu glanced at Yun Jue: "Once Ah Jue wakes up, I’ll have someone watch him and head back right away."

"No need," Ye Xingbei said, "You stay with Ah Jue, it’s fine with just me at home."

"Alright, we’ll see," Gu Junzhu neither agreed nor disagreed.

Ye Xingbei hurriedly left the hospital and returned to the small building.

Xiao Shumiao was hugging a pillow, pouting on the sofa, looking very unhappy.

Seeing her walk into the living room, he immediately spread his arms and cried out: "Mom!"

His voice was thick with tears.

Seeing his pitiful expression, Ye Xingbei felt a deep ache, walked over, sat next to him, and looked down: "Let mom see, where did you get hurt?"

"Here and here!" Xiao Shumiao pointed to show her.

His knees were bruised, and there was a bruise on his palm.

Fortunately, there was no broken skin or bleeding.

Ye Xingbei’s heart ached as she said, "Why weren’t you more careful? It must hurt a lot from the fall?"

She suddenly understood why Gu Junzhu looked so dark and upset when he saw the injuries on Yun Jue by the river.

She felt heartache seeing Yun Jue’s injuries too, but it was a little removed.

Seeing the bruises on Xiao Shumiao’s knees and palms now hurt her more than seeing the bloody cuts on Yun Jue.

Even though Gu Junzhu is only a few years older than Yun Jue, he’s always cherished Yun Jue like a son.

The place Yun Jue occupies in Gu Junzhu’s heart is like the place Xiao Shumiao occupies in hers.

A parent’s heart aches for their child.

She now truly understood how Gu Junzhu felt seeing the bloody cuts on Yun Jue.

Xiao Shumiao snuggled in her arms, clinging to her waist, and said, "When I woke up, I couldn’t find you, so I went downstairs to look for you, ran too fast, and fell..."

"Alright, alright, don’t cry now, let mommy blow on it, it’ll stop hurting!" Ye Xingbei held him and comforted him softly.

Xiao Shumiao asked, "Mom, where’s dad? Why didn’t he come back with you?"

Ye Xingbei explained, "Your little cousin got hurt, and dad is at the hospital with your little cousin."

For things like this, there’s no need to lie, Ye Xingbei told the truth.

Xiao Shumiao quickly asked, "How did my little cousin get hurt? Did he fall like Xiao Shu?"

Lingyue also looked at her with concern.

"No," Ye Xingbei said, "Your little cousin saw someone fall into the water, and he jumped into the river to save them. The river current was too strong and pushed him onto the rocks, causing him to get cut."

"Wow! That’s so dangerous!" Xiao Shumiao’s eyes widened, "My little cousin is so brave!"

"Yes," Ye Xingbei pinched his little nose, "Your little cousin didn’t cry, so can Xiao Shu also not cry?"

Xiao Shumiao snuggled into her arms, embarrassed.

Lingyue asked with concern, "Is Ah Jue ok, did he get seriously hurt?"

"Not seriously," Ye Xingbei said, "They’re just surface wounds, he’ll recover soon."

Xiao Shumiao looked outside and asked, "Mom, does that mean dad has to stay with little cousin tonight and can’t come home?"

Ye Xingbei nodded, "Probably."

"Then I want to sleep with mom tonight," Xiao Shumiao said, rubbing against her and acting spoiled, "It’s been so long since I slept with mom."

Ye Xingbei smiled and rubbed his little head, "Okay, you can sleep with mom tonight."
