Chapter 380: The Little Cloud Crybaby

~7 min read 1,392 words

"Alright, listen to Nan Nan," Li Xiue patted Zhou Ruo Ran on the shoulder and said softly in her ear.

The words Zhou Ruo Ran still wanted to say were swallowed back down just like that.

"How do you feel now? Does it hurt?" Xie Yuanyuan said, tears already welling up in her eyes.

As for Jiang Yunduo, she didn't say a word; upon entering the room and seeing her condition, she started to cry.

Well, swept up by them, Big Aunt couldn't hold it together either. During the three days Nan Nan was in a coma, she had tried her best to hold on. She was happy that she had woken up today, but the anxious emotions hadn't passed yet, and now she felt even more heartache.

Whose child suffers such a serious injury without their parents feeling heartache?

An Yinan couldn't close her ears right now, otherwise, she would have wanted to pretend not to hear it to find some peace.

"Honestly, with you all acting like this, I'd think I wasn't going to get better," An Yinan couldn't hold back anymore.

If she didn't speak up, the whole room full of people would burst into tears, and people outside might think she had "passed away."

Didn't you see that even the strong Qiu Hua had tears swirling in her eyes just now?

"Pah, pah, pah, don't talk nonsense," Big Aunt hurriedly wiped away her tears and then looked at An Yinan with disapproval.

An Yinan smiled, "Talking is fine, but no crying. You can't force a patient to comfort you all."

"Did you hear that, little Yun Duo?"

Specifically called out, Jiang Yunduo, whose eyes were already red, hurriedly nodded and even let out a hiccup from crying.

It made everyone in the room break into laughter through their tears.

"How is the store?" An Yinan looked at Zhao Qiu Hua.

"The store is fine. I've already promoted Wu Xia as we discussed in our meeting."

"She goes to a different store every day. Now that there is someone managing, the staff's service attitude has improved a bit."

"However, that person looked for me once, asking if the notice in the store could be taken down. She wanted to apologize to you in person, but I turned her away."

Zhao Qiu Hua talked about the situation in the stores over the past few days. Actually, during the few days of the holiday, the 3rd Store was doing okay, but the 1st Store and 2nd Store were already swamped.

There were four old employees before, excluding the one who was dismissed.

Now there is one at the 1st Store, and another was transferred to the 2nd Store.

Only the 3rd Store, which has more people and a larger space, needs more attention.

What's more, given the previous situation, Wu Xia is more attentive to the 3rd Store.

"Keep it up for a week; those who need to know will know by then," An Yinan said.

Zhao Qiu Hua noted this down, thinking of talking to Wu Xia when she went back.

"There is quite a bit of money in the accounts, so we went and deposited it all. We'll deal with it when you get better," Li Xiue said.

An Yinan didn't have the heart to open branch stores right now; the main thing was to manage the existing stores well. She couldn't keep thinking about expanding and end up losing her base.

"Alright, when I'm discharged, we'll distribute the dividends!" An Yinan said.

Actually, she had planned to start distributing dividends after returning from the holiday.

Currently, housing prices are very low, and the stores don't need so much reserve capital. Once the money is distributed, the sisters can look at houses.

But with her injury, the time for dividends would have to be pushed back.

"I've been writing down the school notes diligently. When you go back, I'll give them to you," Jiang Yunduo said.

An Yinan just couldn't reach out, otherwise, she would really want to pinch her cheeks.

"Why are you all here?" Liu Xicai looked at the doorway as three tall men walked into the ward.

"Aunt."

"Big Aunt."

"Mom."

Three people, three forms of address.

Beibei, Yun Qi, and Yun Bi had arrived.

"Did your dad tell you?" Liu Xicai asked Yun Bi.

Everyone had been afraid of worrying the old lady, so no one told the family.

"No, it was after Beibei got home and didn't see Nan Nan, and heard that you weren't home either, that he became suspicious," Yun Qi said.

Seeing them arrive, the girls all gave up their spots, letting the three men walk to the front.

"Are you trying to celebrate the Dragon Boat Festival early?" Although Yun Qi felt heartache, he didn't want the atmosphere to be so oppressive, so he made a joke.

But no one in the room laughed.

"An Erge, your joke is too cold," An Yinan couldn't help but retort.

Yun Qi rubbed his nose. Fine, she could still retort, so it seemed she was alright.

Beibei's heartache was not hidden at all, "Sister."

Beibei was very tall now, already over 1.8 meters, dressed in a crisp outfit; it was hard to imagine what he used to be like.

Seeing Beibei, she realized with a start how fast time had passed.

"Then how did you know I was here?" An Yinan was very curious.

There were only a few people who knew she was here.

It couldn't be anyone Beibei knew. The easiest to trick was probably Big Aunt, but Big Aunt hadn't been home, so that could be ruled out.

"Did you trick Big Aunt?" An Yinan was a bit surprised.

Beibei shook his head, "It wasn't exactly tricking; it was a meeting of minds."

One was willing to deceive, and the other was willing to be deceived, that's all.

"Fine, I'm fine. Aren't I perfectly okay now?" An Yinan was just tied up, otherwise, she would have done a spin no matter what.

Beibei reached out and touched his sister's face. The two siblings hadn't seen each other for several months. Sister had her own affairs, and he was moving toward his own goals. The last time they met was when he went to deliver food when the clothing store opened.

In a flash, so much time had passed.

"Sister, protect yourself well." Beibei did not say anything else, only gently exhorted her.

If anything happened to his sister, he would go mad!

In his heart, no one could compare to his sister.

"Okay." An Yinan wanted to smile, but she could not make the expression; that expression looked somewhat distorted.

Beibei looked deeply at his sister; he had never doubted his own path.

But he was afraid that before he could hold up this sky, his sister would be gone.

How could An Yinan not know, but there were some things she could not turn a blind eye to.

Yun Bi had not spoken since he arrived; he was naturally a man of few words, and he could see Nan Nan's exhaustion.

"Let's go, she is tired," Yun Bi suggested.

From these few words, his concern could be seen.

"Nan Nan, we are leaving; we will come to see you again in a few days." Everyone left one after another.

The room returned to quiet.

"Sleep for a while, I will keep watch," Liu Xicai said gently.

In her previous life, how she had wished for someone to gently ask her, "Does it hurt?" when she was sick or injured.

Then, even if she were in agonizing pain, she would still smile.

In this life, such a person had appeared.

She closed her eyes.

An Yinan stayed in the hospital for a month before she agreed to be discharged, and An Yinan's recovery speed surprised many people; it was Yun Fei who gave the order that An Yinan's situation must be kept confidential.

"Is there still no news from Chen Xun?" Liu Xicai asked while carrying some things.

It had been mentioned before, but An Yinan said Chen Xun was on a mission; let alone telling him anything, they could not even make contact.

An Yinan shook her head, "None."

This mission had been going on for several months, and not even a single piece of paper had been seen.
