Chapter 120: We Are Family
Zhao Xiaotang pursed his lips and chuckled, and teased: "Don't say that you seem to be going to save Xiao Nuan from the sea of suffering." Her relationship with Hong Lie may be much better than we imagined. ”
She tilted her head and recalled: "I remember the last time we met, Hong Lie was gentle to Xiao Nuan! The appearance is sunny and handsome, the demeanor is generous and decent, the key is that he is still very gentlemanly, and he smiles at everyone." Tsk, especially the way he looked at Xiao Nuan, now that he thinks about it, he still feels sweet!
She said, looked Huo Liting up and down a few times, and pursed her lips in disgust: "Look at you again, it's like someone owes you 80 billion all day long." You seem to be sincere in picking up people, and you are going to break up other people's happy families. ”
Huo Liting's face turned pale, and his deep eyes immediately turned red.
Zhao Xiaotang hurriedly raised his hand on guard: "Eh, the doctor said that the PIP in your body has not been metabolized yet! Calm down, calm down!"
Huo Liting's eyes flashed in front of him when he accidentally injured Xiao Nuan when he became ill that day, and his body stiffened.
The hand hanging by his side slowly clenched into a fist, and he lowered his eyes and said in a deep voice: "Don't worry, I won't disturb her." But son, I have to bring it back. ”
Oh, it's not that you value other people's mothers and sons can't even be separated, this cunning old fox!
Zhao Xiaotang slandered in his heart, but he didn't debunk it on his face: "Okay, as long as you control yourself, whatever you say is what you say." ”
Seeing that he was imperative, Li Lei smiled and joked: "Mr. Huo, if you can be trusted, why don't you take me with you! Although my skills may still be inferior to yours, can I give you a hand and help you in other aspects?"
Huo Liting raised his eyebrows and looked at him seriously: "If you want, that's my honor, I can't ask for it." ”
Li Lei straightened up: "Mr. Huo, in fact, you don't have to be so polite. I know that over the years, you have actually helped me and Xiaotang, as well as my grandparents a lot, both openly and secretly. Let's not talk about the investment in medical care, let's just say that the small media company I founded with my friends is also the major shareholder behind the scenes, right?"
Huo Liting's eyebrows frowned imperceptibly, and then he hooked his lips and smiled lightly: "How do you know?"
Li Lei touched his nose and said complacently: "Don't forget, my side business with Xiao Nuan is a hacker, although my skills are not as good as yours, but it is not difficult to find this thing." ”
Seeing that the two of them were praising each other in business, and they had a winning posture, Zhao Xiaotang was a little anxious: "I will also go with you." ”
"No, I can't. Li Lei vetoed without thinking about it: "It's not a trip, what are you doing with it!"
"Then you should be on a trip!"
Zhao Xiaotang raised his chin and said disapprehensively: "What, if you are allowed to see Xiao Nuan for the first time, I am not allowed to see her for the first time?"
Seeing that she was angry, Li Lei's tone softened: "I didn't mean that." The situation over there is unknown now, and there may be danger. ”
"I'm not afraid!" Zhao Xiaotang said categorically: "For Xiao Nuan, I'm not afraid of any danger! Besides, isn't there still the omnipotent President Huo Da?"
The tail of her eyes was slightly raised, and she looked at Huo Liting and said provocatively: "Mr. Huo, if you can't even protect me, I don't think you want to bring Xiao Nuan back from Qingbai Country." ”
"What are you talking about!" Li Lei's face changed, and he winked at Zhao Xiaotang.
With their human and financial resources, wanting to go to Qingbai Country to find Xiao Nuan is tantamount to looking for a needle in a haystack.
So this one must and can only be Huo Liting's home field.
Annoy him, let alone go to Qingbai, I'm afraid they won't even be able to get out of Jincheng.
He looked in a good mood today, talking and laughing, but in the end, the name of this living Yama did not come for nothing.
Reading Li Lei's eyes, Zhao Xiaotang's eyes shrank obviously, but he still stubbornly picked Huo Liting.
Huo Liting's gaze swept over his face, and the corners of his mouth were faintly hooked: "Don't worry, you are Xiao Nuan's best friend, and you really care about her, I won't hurt you." However, Miss Zhao, can you go not in me, but in him. ”
His eyes looked straight at Li Lei, and Zhao Xiaotang's face turned red all of a sudden: "What does it have to do with him whether I go or not, as long as you agree, then I'll go back and prepare first." ”
"Eh, what do you mean by that?" Li Lei frowned, looking aggrieved: "What do you mean that it has nothing to do with me, if you don't give your strength, you won't be able to become the oil bottle for me and Mr. Huo?"
"You're the oil bottle! Your whole family ......."
Zhao Xiaotang's words almost rushed out of her mouth, but fortunately she swallowed it back in time and changed her words: "I'm too lazy to pay attention to you." Mr. Huo, please inform me immediately after arranging the itinerary. ”
In the latter sentence, she looked at Huo Liting and said.
Huo Liting said indifferently: "Okay." You guys take care of what you're doing, and I should be on my way soon. ”
Zhao Xiaotang nodded: "Don't worry, I will never be a drag oil bottle!"
When the words fell, she glanced at Li Lei coldly, turned around and left.
Li Lei was stunned in place, his mind full of question marks.
Who am I?
Where am I?
What's the matter with me?
After a long time, he came back to his senses and bowed his head towards Huo Liting: "Mr. Huo, please let me know when the time comes, goodbye!"
When the words fell, the others had already fled outside the ward.
The door was closed.
Huo Liting looked at the dense IP address on the data, and there was a rolling undercurrent in his deep eyes.
Xiao Nuan, I will definitely find you!
This time, you don't want to run away again!
......
Qingbai Country, Imperial Palace.
In the bathroom of the dormitory, Xiao Nuan sat on the toilet lid, and his slender ten fingers skillfully operated on the microcomputer.
As lines of code are entered, the network signal labeled "×" in the bottom right corner of the screen finally shows a full bar.
Xiao Nuan's expression relaxed, and before he could switch interfaces, he heard a knock on the door.
"Ma'am, are you alright? You've been in there for a long time, are you sick to your stomach?" said Shari worriedly through the door.
"I'm fine, I'm just reading a book, just saw the key place. Right away, I'll be out soon. ”
Xiao Nuan's face sank, and while agreeing, he operated on the keyboard faster with both hands.
The monotonous black interface finally switched to color, and Xiao Nuan's eyes lit up.
She opened the web page quickly, but her fingertips trembled the moment the cursor jumped into the search bar.
But it was only for a second, and she still firmly typed the words "Huo Liting" into it.
The page began to load, and she bit her lip and her heart beat irrepressibly faster.
She took a deep breath, trying to calm herself.
In a moment, the page was loaded with the keyword "Huo Liting".
There is a lot of news, but most of them are not the latest news, and there is not a single word about Huo Liting's illness, hospitalization, rescue, etc.
How so?
Xiao Nuan frowned.
Outside the door, Sha Li's urging voice sounded again: "Madam, are you okay? Are your legs numb? Do you need a slave to come in and help you?"
"No, no, I'll be right out. Xiao Nuan hurriedly replied and casually pressed the toilet switch.
Disguised by the sound of rushing water, she closed the computer, hid it in the mezzanine of the locker, and then took a random book in the cabinet before pulling her clothes and going out.
Seeing her come out, Sha Li let out a long sigh of relief and said respectfully, "Madam, your breakfast is ready, please here." ”
"Good. Xiao Nuan nodded with a smile and followed her to the balcony of the dormitory.
These days, her meals are here.
To be able to bask in the sunshine and see the blue sea and the sky high in the sky that she once thought was heaven, and the flowers.
But now, her state of mind is completely different.
The cake is delicate, the bread is fluffy, and the jam is sweet......
Xiao Nuan sighed, but what flashed in front of her was the bowl of chicken porridge and the cup of soy-flavored soy milk carefully cooked by her grandparents......
"Madame, don't you like this?" Seeing that she was still unmoving, Shari said with concern, "What do you want to eat?
Xiao Nuan came back to his senses and shook his head abruptly: "No, that's it!"
As she spoke, she picked up the cake and began to eat it slowly.
The sweet, soft cake melted in her mouth, and the interface of the outdated news flashed through her mind.
Why can't she find any news about Huo Liting's hospitalization on the Internet?
Did the Huo family block the news, or was it his own handiwork?
With the current power structure of the Huo family, he should be the only one who can suppress the media and block the news.
Perhaps, no news is good news!
If something happens to him, the entire Jincheng should change color, and it is impossible to be so quiet.
Thinking of this, Xiao Nuan's hanging heart settled down, and the speed of the meal became faster.
After she had taken her last sip of milk, she heard a loud and hearty voice at the temple gate.
"Nuan Nuan, how do you feel about getting up so early today?"
He was dressed in a gray casual suit, which made his figure long and straight, and walked into the hall in a few steps.
There was a warm smile on her wheat-colored cheeks, and the corners of her eyes and eyebrows were full of tenderness and care.
Xiao Nuan put down the cup and got up slowly: "Very good!"
Without commanding, Sha Li had already consciously saluted Hong Lie and retreated silently.
Hong Lie looked Xiao Nuan up and down a few times, and personally confirmed that her complexion was indeed much better than a few days ago, and then he calmed down: "Well, it's really much better." The Queen Mother is personally preparing for Yuntian's birthday banquet, do you want to go with me to see it?"
Since she woke up to the present, Xiao Nuan has not even left the palace gate, her eyes lit up for a moment, and suddenly dimmed: "Time flies so fast." If you don't mention it, I almost forgot that it will be Yuntian's fifth birthday in a few days. ”
Hearing the guilt in her tone, Hong Lie smiled with relief: "It's not that you forgot, it's that the queen mother is too anxious." It's not time yet, and when the time comes, you will naturally remember. Let's go, let's go and have a look?"
"Okay, then you wait for me. ”
Xiao Nuan nodded, turned around and went to the cloakroom to change into a long dress.
The gradient design from white to blue sets off her red lips and white teeth, and her eyebrows are picturesque. Her long black hair was draped over her shoulders like a glorious silk strip, swaying with her steps.
Hong Lie looked at it, his eyes were full of fascination and appreciation: "Nuan Nuan, you look so good in this dress, just like a mermaid princess out of the water." ”
Xiao Nuan chuckled and teased: "You don't seem to have said that my clothes are not good-looking, right? These are all sent by you, I suspect that you are afraid of slapping yourself in the face." ”
Is she implying that she always dresses her up the way she wants?
Hong Lie's heart sank, but his face burst into laughter: "I praised myself so tactfully, you can see that he is really worthy of being the smartest doctor in our Qingbai Country." ”
Xiao Nuan smiled lightly and diverted the topic: "Didn't you say that you went to see the banquet preparations? Let's go!"
Hong Lie straightened his body and raised his arm gentlemanly.
Xiao Nuan smiled helplessly, and pulled it up with kindness.
......
The magnificent palace banquet hall is full of people.
Queen Tita commanded her servants to clean and decorate the splendid palace.
"You, move that vase a little further to the left. ”
"Yes, yes, yes. ”
"You, replace that pot of orchids, the leaves are too few, not green enough, and replace them with the best. ”
......
On a separate stage in one corner of the ballroom, an ivory-white piano stands quietly.
As the little guy in the suit sat on the piano bench, a beautiful song slowly flowed through the spacious hall.
The servants had surprised expressions on their faces, and they listened intently as they went about their business.
After all, everyone here knows that their little Wang Sun is a genius, and the piano has long reached the standard of a master.
Queen Tita was silent, and even though she had heard Yuntian play the piano countless times, she still squinted happily and enjoyed the beautiful note.
Yuntian played briskly like a game until he saw a man and a woman entering through the doorway.
The sound of the piano stopped abruptly.
He slipped off the stool and fired directly at Xiao Nuan like a small cannonball: "Mommy." ”
"Baby!"
Xiao Nuan squatted and opened his arms, scooped him into his arms at once, and hugged him tightly: "I haven't heard the baby play the piano for a few days, and the baby's piano skills are amazing again." ”
Yun Tian giggled and put his head on Xiao Nuan's forehead affectionately: "Grandma Queen said that music can help people relax and make patients recover quickly, Yun Tian wants Mommy to get better soon." ”
Xiao Nuan's heart instantly softened into a puddle of water: "No wonder Mommy woke up completely fine today, it turned out to be all the credit of Yuntian Baby!"
Yun Tian raised his head and shook it seriously: "Not only Yun Tian, but also the blessings of the queen and grandmother, as well as the care of Daddy, and the strength of Mommy's own heart, this is the result of our family's concerted efforts and joint efforts." ”
The sound of the piano stopped, and Queen Tida woke up from her intoxication, saw Xiao Nuan and Hong Lie coming, and slowly greeted her.
Hearing Yuntian's words, she immediately echoed with relief: "What the baby said is right, as long as the family is neat and tidy, everything will be fine." ”
Xiao Nuan smiled gently and respectfully saluted Queen Tida: "This is all the credit of the queen's careful teaching. ”
She looked around at the decorations around her, and bowed deeply to the queen: "The queen mother has bothered to work for Yuntian. ”
Queen Thida smiled kindly: "I'm glad to be able to organize a birthday party for my grandson." ”
Her eyes moved to Yun Tian, who was lying in Xiao Nuan's arms, and opened her hands: "Yuntian baby, Mommy's body is just right, come, grandma hugs it, okay?"
Yun Tian shook his head, and said solemnly like a little adult: "Grandma, no." I'm not a three- or four-year-old kid anymore, and I don't need to be hugged anymore. ”
He turned his head and kissed Xiao Nuan's face, and said with some reluctance and some firmness: "Mommy, please put me down!"
The three of them looked at him seriously and laughed in unison.
"Okay, Mommy will try to control herself in the future and don't hug our little man. Xiao Nuan rubbed the soft hair on his head and lowered him to the ground.
"Yes. ”
Yun Tian nodded heavily, then saluted politely to them, and obediently went to play by himself.
Queen Tita looked at the fleshy little figure, and her face was full of love.
Xiao Nuan looked at it, a forbearance flashed in her eyes, and then looked at the specifications of this birthday banquet, she felt more and more empty: "Queen Mother, you are so cherished and favored, look at him proudly." ”
Queen Tita turned her head happily: "Yuntian is the eldest grandson of our Qingbai Kingdom, and this is as it should be. Besides, you and Ah Lie have always kept a low profile, and they don't let me do it every year. It's rare for you to relax this time, I have to make Yuntian lively. ”
"Oh, by the way, your father is also very supportive of this banquet, and he said that he will announce a big event at the banquet!" she winked at them, her eyes full of suggestive light.
Xiao Nuan's heart instantly rose a little worried.
Hong Lie laughed out loud: "Really, then my father and I thought of it together." At this birthday party, I also want to surprise everyone. ”
Queen Tida's eyes lit up, and she subconsciously looked at Xiao Nuan's belly: "What surprise?"
Hong Lie smiled: "Queen Mother, it's not a surprise to say it." When the time comes, you'll know. ”
The queen's gaze turned ambiguously on the two of them, and she didn't ask too much, and happily discussed the specific details of the banquet with them: "On the day of the birthday banquet, I want to invite Yuntian's favorite band to come over and play, do you think it's okay?"
"Okay! Yuntian will be very happy then. Hong Lie responded enthusiastically: "I think we can add ......"
Watching them discuss eagerly, their faces were full of excitement and anticipation, and even the faces of the busy servants were rare and relaxed......
Xiao Nuan's eyes flashed with a hint of imperceptible loneliness, she raised her hand and pressed the position of her heart, and said softly: "Queen Mother, Ah Lie, I feel a little bored, I'll go back first." Thank you guys!"
Hong Lie saw that her expression was slightly gloomy, and immediately said with concern: "It doesn't matter to you, right? Forget it, I'll send you." ”
He turned his head to look at the queen, and before the words could be spoken, the queen had already raised her hand and waved: "Go, go, take good care of Nuan Nuan, just leave it to me here." ”
Hong Lie helped Xiao Nuan, and the two respectfully saluted the queen before turning around and exiting the banquet hall.
In the garden outside the ballroom.
Hong Lie held Xiao Nuan's hand and said nervously, "How do you feel?" Do you want me to call a doctor to come and check you again?"
Xiao Nuan shook his head and pulled him to sit down: "I'm fine, you don't have to worry so much." Maybe I haven't been out for too long, and there are people inside, and I feel a little depressed, but now it's much better. ”
Hong Lie confirmed that her eyebrows were indeed stretched, and then he breathed a sigh of relief and teased: "Our domineering female president of TN, Dr. Xiao, who is used to seeing the world, is also afraid of people now?"
Xiao Nuan glared at him helplessly, and said, "Over there in country Z, how is it now?"
Hong Lie regretted it a little, why didn't he have anything to do and make it up by himself.
But it was only for a moment, and he smiled with relief: "Don't worry, I've already selected the best professional manager, and with Ada over there to help lead the way, everything you want to do will go according to schedule." ”
A hint of hesitation flashed in Xiao Nuan's eyes.
But before she could speak, Hong Lie preemptively blamed himself: "It's all my fault." I shouldn't have agreed to let you go back in the first place. I don't know anything about the situation over there, so I can only let you get hurt so much because you still have to fight outside and can't do anything to help. ”
He held her hand tightly, his eyes were gentle and firm: "Nuan Nuan, I've already thought about it." I will take my grandparents and grandparents over so that the people you love can be by your side. Didn't you say before that you wanted to form a medical team? When the time comes, let your grandparents lead the team, plus Xiaotang and the two senior brothers. As long as they pull some more in, it will be a big team. As for Li Lei, he can come over and manage our network, and I believe he will be able to help in this regard. ”
He paused, and without waiting for Xiao Nuan to speak, he continued: "As for the Chinese herbal medicine base you mentioned before, I have also arranged for someone to study there, and I believe that the results will be received soon......
He gushed on and on, taking into account all her plans and concerns.
But after speaking, he still asked very respectfully: "Nuan Nuan, apart from these, do you have any other worries? You believe me, I can solve it for you." ”
It's already everything, what else can be said?
Xiao Nuan was very moved, but she couldn't help but feel a little lost in her heart.
She shook her head lightly, and raised the corners of her lips to hide her bitterness: "No, you have arranged it well." But I still feel that I have to follow up on the vaccine and make sure that everything is okay before I give it to them, okay?"
That's it, it's still necessary to contact that side.
Hong Lie frowned, hesitated for a moment, and nodded: "Okay." But you promise me, don't make yourself too hard, okay?"
Xiao Nuan nodded: "Okay." ”
She raised her hand and rubbed her temples: "Ah Lie, I feel a little tired, I want to go back and rest." ”
"Okay, I'll send you. ”
Hong Lie thoughtfully helped her get up, sent her all the way to the dormitory, and watched her lie down before turning to leave.
While walking, he didn't forget to instruct Sha Li: "Let them all cook Z national dishes for lunch, and all the ones that Mrs. likes every day, plus a few light soups." ”
Shari replied respectfully: "Yes, Your Highness." ”
Xiao Nuan poked his head out of the bed, looked at his nervous appearance, and sighed softly.
The sound of footsteps and conversation faded away, and it was not until it was completely inaudible that Xiao Nuan turned over and sat up from the bed.
She took out the mobile phone with no signal at all, opened it, took out a new card and inserted it, and reassembled it to turn it on.
After a slow load, the screen finally jumps from black to color, but the various indicators at the top of the screen are still loading.
Xiao Nuan looked at the flickering signal and rubbed her hands a little nervously.
When she realized her small actions, she couldn't help but hook her lips and smile bitterly at herself: "Heh, it turns out that some people really can't be deceived." ”
The phone signal was loaded, and Xiao Nuan immediately clicked on the dialing interface.
But before she could enter the number, the phone vibrated abruptly in her hand......
