Chapter 1120: Relationships Needed to be Warmed As Well

The Old Madam froze for a second, before she asked in disbelief, “Are you mistaken?”

Dr Wei never liked it when people questioned her specialty, so she furrowed her eyebrows and said, “Old Madam, I shouldn’t say too much as it is the patient’s privacy, but I’m warning you because you said that her boyfriend is your grandson. However, she can still have a child through surrogacy.”

The Old Madam’s expression wasn’t too good. “Surrogacy meaning to borrow another woman’s womb?”

“Yes.”

The Old Madam remained silent for a while before she waved her hand. “Since it’s her privacy, don’t tell others about this anymore, even if you meet with someone you’re close with.”

Dr Wei never thought that the Old Madam’s attitude would be like this. After all, she hashe only said it out of goodwill!

“If you have something on, I won’t stay anymore.” The Old Madam called the butler over to send the guest out.

Dr Wei never thought that her saying the truth would make the Old Madam unhappy instead. She stopped saying anything else as she followed the butler out.The butler went back in after sending Dr Wei to the door. Dr Wei was about to get on her car when a crisp voice called her. “Dr Wei.”

Dr Wei glanced at Yi Ran, who was walking towards her. Yi Ran was smiling brightly and pleasantly, gaining a good impression from others easily. “Xiaoran, is there something you need?”

Yi Ran walked in front of Dr Wei, biting her lip softly. “Dr Wei, when I walked by the room earlier, I heard your conversation with the Old Madam accidentally. Did you say that Sister Yanran cannot get pregnant?”

At the thought of the Old Madam’s unhappy expression, Dr Wei hurriedly looked around. Seeing that no one was around, she said sadly, “Xiaoran, the Old Madam likes you the most. Since you heard it, I won’t hide it from you. The situation is just like you heard. I only reminded the Old Madam out of goodwill and didn’t expect to make her unhappy.”

Yi Ran nodded in deep thought. “Dr Wei must have been in a difficult position. However, the Old Madam is right. It’s better not to say this to anyone else as it might affect your reputation.”

Dr Wei nodded. “Yes, yes of course.”

Yi Ran sent Dr Wei to her car, only returning to the manor after the car disappeared from her view.

When Yi Ran went in, the Old Madam had already called Xiao Yi and Xia Yanran over.The three of them were chatting. There was nothing unusual about the Old Madam’s expression, while Xia Yanran was smiling brightly and politely as well.

However, after observing Xia Yanran in more detail, Yi Ran noticed that Xia Yanran’s eyes were still slightly red. She had probably cried in private.

Not being able to have children would be the hardest blow to any woman. From how she looked, she probably hadn’t told Brother Xiao Yi about this!

Yi Ran sighed softly, thinking that Sister Yanran was really pitiful! However, Brother Xiao Yi was the more pitiful one. He was so charismatic, was he really going to be a childless person with Sister Yi Ran?

Yi Ran silently glanced at Xiao Yi and Xia Yanran. They were sitting very closely together, Xiao Yi’s hand holding Xia Yanran’s tightly. Yi Ran had learn psychology, so she knew what it meant when a man held a woman’s hand tightly in front of their seniors.

The woman was very important to the man!

Xia Yanran originally thought that the Old Madam would be strict and unfriendly, but after spending some time together, the Old Madam was a lot friendlier than she had thought.

They chatted for a while before they ate lunch together.

The Old Madam wanted to speak to Xiao Yi privately, so they went to her study.Xia Yanran was watching television in the living room when Yi Ran sat next to her and passed her a cup of red date tea. “Dr Wei from the Royal Hospital gave this to the Old Madam so help her regain some life. I saw that Sister Yanran’s face doesn’t look too good, do you want to try a cup?”

Dr Wei from the Royal Hospital?

Xia Yanran’s heart couldn’t help but skip a beat. If she didn’t remember wrongly, the doctor who did her checkup yesterday had a surname ‘Wei’ as well.

Could it be so coincidental that it was the same doctor?

Seeing Xia Yanran blank out, Yi Ran blinked her bright eyes. “Sister Yanran, what’s wrong?”

Xia Yanran shook her head. “Oh, I’m fine.”

Judging from Xia Yanran’s reaction, Yi Ran was sure that Dr Wei wasn’t llying.

Yi Ran smiled brightly. “Sister Yi Ran, you should try this tea! It’s good for women.”

…

After Xiao Yi came out from the Old Madam’s study, Xia Yanran stood up.If Dr Wei was the one who did her checkup yesterday, she might have told the Old Madam about her condition after seeing her. Did the Old Madam call Xiao Yi in to tell him this?

Xia Yanran felt extremely uneasy, feeling like she was a criminal awiaitng her sentence. She stared straight at Xiao Yi, who walked towards her with large strides. He caressed her head. “The Old Madam said that you’re very good and told me to love you properly in the future.”

Xia Yanran’s heightened heart eased immediately.

The Old Madam then called Xia Yanran into the room alone, taking out a set of jewelery. “I wanted to give this to Xiao Yi’s Aunt at first, but since she’s no longer here and Xiao Yi is her only family, treat this as my meeting gift to you! I don’t have much longer to live anyway. In life, you’re bound to meet some problems, but don’t afraid and don’t give up, there will be a day where everything will work out.”

From her words, Xia Yanran vaguely guessed that the Old Madam knew about it, but since the Old Madam didn’t say anything, she never mentioned it either.

…

After they left the Old Madam’s manor, Xia Yanran and Xiao Yi went to the hotel to take their luggage before they rushed to the airport.

After they parted that day, Xiao Yi put all of his attention into his work. However, he would call or message Xia Yanran everyday.At Peace City, the workers there were slowly able to handle the construction sites themselves, so Xiao Yi and Tang Chao returned to their company office at B City to work on more projects.

When they got busy, they lost track of their days. Xiao Yi had always been a person who was able to take hardships, so in order to pull in more projects and get a proper footing in B City, he couldn’t help but break his ban on drinking as he had to wine and dine with his partners.

Seeing Xiao Yi work so hard, Tang Chao felt that it was strange. To be honest, Brother Xiao should relax slightly now that the company was doing better. However, he didn’t. One day, when Xiao Yi had drank too much, Tang Chao used the chance to ask him about it. He heard from Xiao Yi that he wanted to list the company and become one of the top corporations in the country.

When Tang Chao heard Xiao Yi’s ambitions, he didn’t think it was impossible to reach. Instead, his passion and blood boiled within him.

On this day, Tang Chao and Xiao Yi had just finished a meal with the construction agency’s leader. They walked out of the clubhouse as Tang Chao elbowed Xiao Yi. “Brother Xiao, your career is important, but you cannot ignore your relationship too. How long has it been since you parted with Sister-in-law in the Capital?”

With Tang Chao’s reminder, Xiao Yi finally remembered that Xia Yanran was either in a meeting or a business trip when he called her recently. She rarely replied to his messages either. He put all of his attention on work, but ignored that he needed to put some attention on his relationship as well.

He hit his head, slightly drowsy as he said, “It’s almost been two months.”
