Chapter 181 The Call for Help
"So why did you apologize to me if it wasn't what you said? Shuyan, I've never blamed you." Yunzhi tilted her head slightly, smiling as she looked at Cheng Shuyan.
The light from the crystal chandelier above shone on Yunzhi's face.
The light made the smile on her face even more dazzling and bright.
Cheng Shuyan opened his mouth, a surge of bitterness welling up in his heart.
Since you don't blame me, why don't you want to see me?
His throat felt like it was stuffed with cotton, and he couldn't utter a single word. Cheng Shuyan lowered his eyes and looked at Yunzhi's bare feet exposed to the air. After standing up, he knelt on the ground and, like a loyal knight, cupped Yunzhi's face in his hands and carefully placed it on his thighs.
Yunzhi froze, as if something had exploded in her mind, and for a moment she let him do as he pleased.
“Mr. Cheng…” Wang Ma was carrying a bowl of ginger soup when she came out of the kitchen and saw this scene. She gasped and almost threw the ginger soup away, but her years of professional training made her hold back.
Upon hearing the sound, Yunzhi blushed and abruptly pulled her foot back.
"I... I forgot to wear slippers. I'll go upstairs and put on some slippers." The warmth of Cheng Shuyan's body still seemed to linger on her feet.
Yunzhi went upstairs without looking back.
With a bang, the door slammed shut. She leaned against the cold door, panting heavily. It wasn't until five minutes later that the feeling of her heart racing and almost dying subsided. She covered her burning cheeks with both hands.
The image of Cheng Shuyan kneeling on one knee lingers in my mind.
Just then, Yunzhi's phone, which was on the bedside table, suddenly rang.
She staggered to the bedside, and when she saw the familiar number on her phone screen, she frowned. Why would Ye Chengyan call her in the middle of the night?
Yunzhi stared at the flickering screen for a long time before finally answering just before the other end was about to hang up. Pretending to be woken up, she yawned and sleepily asked, "Hello?"
The person on the other end of the phone was silent for two seconds.
"Excuse me, Miss Yun, I disturbed your sleep."
"Mr. Ye? Is there something you need?" Yunzhi's voice was full of doubt.
Since the last time Ye Chengyan brought Yu Baisu to apologize, it ended badly, and they haven't shown any mercy. Yunzhi has been avoiding Cheng Shuyan lately and has no time to deal with Ye Chengyan and Yu Baisu, so she has temporarily put them out of her mind.
She thought that if she didn't contact Ye Chengyan first, Ye Chengyan wouldn't contact her first either.
The person on the other end of the phone sighed softly.
"I'm sorry, Miss Yun, for bothering you so late at night. Xiao Ze is sick and keeps calling your name. I really can't help it. I will personally come to apologize tomorrow." Ye Chengyan's low, hoarse voice was filled with exhaustion, clearly indicating that he had been through a lot.
"No need for apologies, it's not a big deal. But isn't Miss Yu with Ye Ze?"
You have to understand that in the previous life, when Ye Ze was sick, he would yell at her, throw things around, and tell her to get out. Only when Yu Baisu came would he calm down and even obediently take his medicine.
Yunzhi knew that Yeze was doing it on purpose, but at that time she had no choice. Even though she knew that Yeze was doing it on purpose, she could only go along with him. After all, he was her child, and she couldn't just watch Yeze not take his medicine properly.
Because of this, Ye Chengyan has said many times that he is not good at taking care of children, and is even worse than Yu Baisu.
Now that she, the idle person, is gone, isn't Yu Baisu still here?
Silence fell again on the other end of the phone.
"Yes, but for some reason, Ozawa is very hostile towards her and won't let her get close at all."
Upon hearing this, Yunzhi almost burst out laughing.
Her eyes darted around, mimicking what Yu Baisu had said in her previous life, "Oh, why is that? But children are very perceptive. They know perfectly well who is good to them. I'm sorry, Mr. Ye, I didn't mean to say that Miss Yu was bad to Ye Ze. Please don't misunderstand."
In his previous life, Yu Baisu did it on purpose.
But Ye Chengyan still listened to her advice.
For a long time afterward, Ye Chengyan would often say that she didn't love Ye Ze enough, wasn't patient enough with Ye Ze, and was inferior to Yu Baisu in every way.
But how much more love could she possibly have for Ye Ze?
She loved without limits, and almost lost her life in the process.
Children are indeed sensitive; they know who treats them well and who doesn't.
But unfortunately, Ye Ze is an ingrate.
Not letting him eat junk food is bad for him, while letting him eat junk food is good for him. Compared to her, a housewife who is confined to her family all day and has no social life, the gentle and beautiful Yu Baisu is obviously more suitable for Ye Ze's choice of a mother.
Ye Chengyan did not respond to her words.
Yunzhi didn't mind; she was simply repaying Yu Baisu's kindness.
"Could you please say a few words to Xiaoze?"
"Okay." Yunzhi was in a great mood and naturally didn't hold back her words.
Ye Chengyan breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that Yunzhi did not refuse.
He was truly driven to desperation by Ye Ze, which led to his impolite act of calling Yun Zhi in the middle of the night. He also didn't know how Yu Baisu managed to take care of the child; the nanny was the only one to notice the child's high fever in the middle of the night.
Could it really be as Yunzhi said?
Yu Baisu is only nice to the child on the surface, but in reality she often ignores Xiao Ze behind his back, which is why Xiao Ze rejects her so much.
Yunzhi's words took root in Ye Chengyan's heart just like in his previous life, only the person corresponding to them had changed.
Ye Chengyan stepped into Ye Ze's bedroom.
Yu Baisu, who was sitting by Ye Ze's bed, walked over anxiously, grabbing his sleeve with one hand.
“Ayan, what should we do? Xiaoze still won’t take his medicine and keeps calling Miss Yun’s name. Ayan, how about I invite Miss Yun over now? If she’s angry about what happened last time and doesn’t want to come, then I’ll kneel down and apologize to her until she forgives me.”
Yu Baisu's sincere voice reached Yunzhi's ears through the microphone.
Yunzhi glanced at the lightning and thunder outside the window and couldn't help but roll her eyes.
Yu Baisu dared to say this because she was certain that Ye Chengyan wouldn't let her risk coming over so late at night.
Moreover, Yu Baisu made it sound like she was being petty, that it wasn't a big deal, and that she had to kneel down and apologize before she could be forgiven.
Seeing the genuine concern on Yu Baisu's face, Ye Chengyan's initial dissatisfaction with her gradually dissipated. Perhaps he had misunderstood Yu Baisu.
"No need, I called Miss Yun and asked her to say a few words to Xiao Ze." Ye Chengyan patted Yu Baisu's hand reassuringly, indicating that she shouldn't worry.
Yu Baisu's smile froze for a moment, but she quickly recovered.
Ye Chengyan failed to notice the fleeting jealousy in Yu Baisu's eyes.
Yu Baisu glanced at Ye Chengyan's phone and breathed a sigh of relief. "That's really great. With Miss Yun here, Xiaoze will definitely take his medicine obediently."
