Forced Pampering: Haughty Husband, Please Restrain Yourself

Chapter 1197: Chapter 1211: Is He Sick?

”I said, Zhu Pengfei, why do you insist on me prescribing herbal medicine? If you keep this up, I’m going back right away.”

An Ran halted her steps, threateningly remarked.

”I don’t wish to either, but Shen Qi doesn’t allow me to visit her during her work hours. If she finds out that I specifically came to see her, she’ll definitely be upset, so please, just consider it as me accompanying you to see the doctor.”

Zhu Pengfei looked distressed, his hands clasped together.

An Ran shook her head helplessly; Shen Qi was too strong-willed, yet beneath that exterior was a fragile and sensitive heart.

Only Zhu Pengfei would be this careful in protecting her.

”Don’t worry, when the time comes, just say I asked you to come with me to see her.”

These past few days, An Ran had also wanted to check on Shen Qi’s work situation, considering she’s just a sophomore. She was concerned that Shen Qi might not adapt well.

”That’s really great, An Ran, I knew you...”

Zhu Pengfei’s words were unfinished as An Ran raised her hand to stop him, her eyes following the man who had just exited the herbal medicine department, carrying an inexplicable emotion.

”An Ran?” Zhu Pengfei called her softly.

”Sorry, you go see Shen Qi first, I have something to do.” An Ran said, already following the man towards the outer door.

The man wore a light blue T-shirt paired with dark dress pants, appearing well-dressed and energetic, but his complexion was not good.

Thinking that he had just come from the herbal medicine department, was he ill?

Why was he seeing the doctor alone? And chose Nan’an’s private hospital?

An Ran followed him leisurely, all the way to the parking lot.

Seeming to sense someone behind him, An Youcai turned his head and saw An Ran a few steps away.

”Ran,” as if doubting his own eyes, An Youcai raised a hand to rub his eyes, seeing the girl in the distance already with reddened eyes.

An Ran didn’t know why she followed him out. Since returning from Qingfeng Town, she had considered visiting An Youcai to ask him in person if she was indeed his biological daughter, why he abandoned mom.

Though her mother died when she was born, she knew from the Shen Family, from Old Mr. Shen and Aunt Xia, that her mother was such a kind, gentle woman.

She remembered the first time she saw her mother’s photo, the bond of blood drew her, instantly recognizing the woman with an incredibly soft smile in the picture was her mother.

Yet such a gentle and beautiful woman, a woman cherished by the Shen Family, was abandoned by her father, while she was expecting a child, making her unable to understand whether returning to city life was more important than his wife and child.

Or perhaps, in An Youcai’s eyes, he didn’t care about their life or death.

But if he didn’t care, why did he deceive Grandma Li and secretly take her out, only to bring her back to the An Family?

Did he have a guilty conscience? Or did he think by doing so, he would compensate for abandoning his wife and daughter?

She had eventually given up; finding An Youcai, what was the point? Asking him, what was the point? It wouldn’t change the current fact that she and An Youcai were already severed when Sun Xuehui sold that adoption agreement to Mu Xingfeng.

Just as Aunt Xia said, her father had already died.

But when she saw that familiar figure, she found herself uncontrollably following him out.

”Why are you in the hospital? Are you sick?”

An Youcai hurried a couple of steps, reaching An Ran, scrutinizing her, his eyes filled with worry, which to An Ran felt like a thorn in her throat.
