Chapter 1462: Great to Have You (22)
Mu Wansheng had completely changed her opinion of Tang Yucheng’s wife. She had even begun feeling repulsed by her.
Mu Wansheng murmured, “You…”
Before she could even finish speaking, she felt a hot bowl of noodles being splashed against herself, causing Tang Mianmian to bawl loudly.
“Brother…”
Mu Wansheng immediately stood up and wiped the hot noodles off of Tang Mianmian.
Mu Wansheng had never lashed out at him in such an angry manner before.
However, she could no longer tolerate it any further. She barked in a piercing yet hoarse voice, “If you’re angry, just take it out on me. Why do you have to splash the noodles onto Mianmian? Was I wrong to have said that?”
Mu Wansheng was exasperated and anxious, for Tang Mianmian would not stop crying.
Tang Yucheng had no idea what had gotten into himself either. He would often regret his actions after lashing out at her. He was shocked speechless, staring at the Tang Mianmian whose face had been scalded.
Heartbroken and dejected, she stormed out of the ward with Snowman and Tang Mianmian. Tang Kangcheng’s wife hurriedly stopped her and tried to play the nice guy by saying, “Sis-in-law, don’t get angry. Brother didn’t do it on purpose.”
“Let go of me,” she snapped, trying to struggle.
However, she refused to let Mu Wansheng go and instead said, “Sis-in-law, simmer down. Brother is going to be discharged soon. Let’s go home together, alright?”
“I want to go out and take a breather. Let go of me.”
“What if we can’t find you?”
“Go home first if you can’t find me.”
Tang Yucheng’s wife snatched Snowman’s leash away from Mu Wansheng, thinking that she won’t be able to go anywhere without Snowman. To her astonishment, Mu Wansheng was as stubborn as a mule, and she strode away with Tang Mianmian in her arms.
By the time she’d chased after Mu Wansheng, the latter had already boarded the elevator.
Fuming with anger, Mu Wansheng paced back and forth around the hospital. After loitering around for a while, she sat down at a random spot with Tang Mianmian in her arms.
She felt that life was tough, exhausting, and upsetting for her lately.
It was nothing like what she wanted at all.
She married him only because she thought he was a kind man who would treat her well and take care of her.
But what happened?
He even had the guts to splash hot food onto our daughter. What’s going to happen in the future?
I can bear with it, but Mianmian is innocent.
Mu Wansheng took a deep breath and decided to head home to have a good chat with him. If he were to promise to continue being the well-tempered man whom she knew, she would be willing to continue living with him. However, if he were to refuse to change and become worse instead, she would go on to divorce him. She would rather live on the streets than let her daughter get hurt.
Having made up her mind, Mu Wansheng returned to the hospital ward while trying to remember the route that she had taken.
Although she had been very careful with her steps, it was still rather difficult to get around without a guide dog. Hence, she entered the wrong elevator, which resulted in a chain mistake.
She entered the wrong ward and got lost.
After much painstaking efforts, she finally found her way back to the building that Tang Yucheng’s ward was in. Although she was on the same floor, she was in a different ward section.
Mu Wansheng looked for the room according to her memory and pushed the door open.
The room was dead silent.
Have they all left?
All of a sudden, Mu Wansheng heard a sudden noise coming from the bed. She closed the door and carried her daughter into the room. She called softly, “Yucheng, shall we go home and talk things over?”
The man on the bed remained silent and continued to stare at her and Tang Mianmian.
Mu Wansheng sat on the bed and grabbed the man’s hand. “I know you haven’t been able to get over the unfortunate incident that happened to you, and I know that you’ve been feeling terrible, but so have I. Forget how you’ve been lashing out at me a lot more than usual lately, but you really crossed the line today. You know how much my daughter means to me. How could you splash the hot food onto her face? She means as much to me as my life does.”
Noticing that he still wasn’t speaking, Mu Wansheng wondered, Is he asleep?
Didn’t we agree to go home after having lunch?
Did he decide to wait for me and Mianmian before going home?
She reckoned that that must have been the case.
In order to prevent making a mistake, she even went outside the ward and asked the other visitors for the number of the ward that she was in. She felt relieved after hearing that she had gotten the correct ward.
However, she could not find Snowman at all, and she later deduced that it must have been taken away by her sister-in-law.
There were no sounds in the room except those made by Tang Mianmian.
All of a sudden, Tang Mianmian began giggling, as if someone had been teasing her.
“Mianmian, why are you giggling? Are you that happy?”
Tang Mianmian was incapable of speech and hence could only express her emotions through her laughter.
“Your daughter is really pretty,” said Fan Shixin, who finally broke his silence.
Mu Wansheng sprung up from her seat and asked, “What… what… what are you doing here?”
“This is my ward, what do you think I’m doing here?”
Frightened beyond words, Mu Wansheng frantically carried her daughter and tried to run away. Fan Shixin quickly yelled to stop her in her tracks. “Do you need my help?”
She stopped and answered, “N… No.”
“I want to help you.”
“Why? Why do you want to help me?” Mu Wansheng asked.
“Because your daughter is pretty.”
Mu Wansheng began to feel sad all of a sudden. She recalled the various times that Tang Yucheng mentioned that Tang Mianmian resembled her greatly, especially when it came to her eyes.
“Alright… then. Could you help me look after my daughter for a while?”
Babysitting is an easy task for me, Fan Shixin thought.
However…
“Aren’t you afraid that I might abduct your daughter and sell her?”
“You won’t, I trust you.”
Fan Shixin was momentarily stunned. Why does she sound like she knows me personally?
Needless to say, he had no idea how at ease Mu Wansheng felt to have him babysit her daughter. She knew that he definitely wouldn’t abduct her.
“If you really trust me, you can let her stay here. I’ll tell you my personal identification number and mobile number.”
She decided not to turn him down, lest he found her to be peculiar.
His mobile number was still the same one as before.
“When are you coming back to pick her up?”
“Soon. Um…” She handed him her mobile phone and continued, “Save your mobile number under the quick-dial digit ‘2.’ I’ll call you later.”
“Sure. What’s your name?”
“Happy.”
Mu Wansheng exited. She was initially reluctant to accept his help. However, she decided that it would be safer to leave Tang Mianmian in his care.
In fact, it was indeed much safer to do so. After she left the ward, Fan Shixin immediately called Xiao Bai to send a babysitter over to the hospital.
