"Aren't you leaving yet?!"
Lu Nianzhi's attitude was still unfriendly. She handed the documents to Rong Dai, then shot Xu Chuan a hateful glance.
Rong Dai took the documents and placed them on the cabinet next to her. Her gaze fell upon little Xu Heng.
"If Mr. Xu doesn't mind, I can look after the child here for a while."
"You know what Nianzhi is upset about. Bringing the child over would not be conducive to your conversation."
Looking closely, the child was only about five percent similar to Xu Chuan. His other features must have come from his mother.
Xu Chuan hesitated, while Lu Nianzhi had already walked far away. He immediately squatted down and gently said to little Xu Heng, "Heng Heng, Daddy needs to talk to Aunt Lu. This is Aunt Rong."
"Can you stay with Aunt Rong to keep her company? Daddy will be back very soon."
Seeing how gently Xu Chuan spoke to his child, seeking the little one's opinion, Rong Dai couldn't help but imagine Huo Shao Ting interacting lovingly with their future child one day.
Little Xu Heng thought seriously for a few seconds. He looked up at Rong Dai with his big watery eyes, sizing her up.
Rong Dai immediately showed a motherly smile and gently said, "Your name is Heng Heng, right?"
Little Xu Heng nodded, tilting his head as he looked at her.
"Aunt Rong has lots of tasty treats. If you'd like, I can share them with you, Heng Heng."
Rong Dai bent over slightly, a captivating smile on her beautiful face.
Instead of immediately agreeing, little Xu Heng asked Xu Chuan, "Daddy, can Heng Heng have some chocolate?"
Xu Chuan hesitated before telling him, "Yes, but just one piece. You already had one yesterday, remember?"
"Too much is bad for your teeth. Don't you recall who was crying from a toothache last time?"
Although anxious, Xu Chuan patiently spoke to his son.
"Okay then, Heng Heng would like to keep Aunt Rong company!"
Having gotten permission, little Xu Heng's face lit up happily. He let go of Xu Chuan's hand and planted a kiss on his father's cheek.
"Daddy, do your best to placate Aunt Lu!"
"Although she's a bit scary, Aunt Lu is very pretty. Pretty ladies will look bad if they stay angry."
After the kiss, little Xu Heng took the initiative to grab Rong Dai's hand, standing like a little adult as he advised Xu Chuan earnestly.
Xu Chuan nodded solemnly, "Daddy will."
"Then come back soon to get me."
Little Xu Heng nodded back.
Xu Chuan finally stood up and looked apologetically at Rong Dai. "I'm sorry to trouble you, Mrs. Huo."
Rong Dai smiled faintly, holding little Xu Heng's soft little hand. Her heart was overflowing with tenderness.
"It's no trouble. I love little kids."
"Heng Heng is a bit allergic to flowers. His heart is weak too, so intense exercise isn't suitable."
Xu Chuan looked at her gratefully before thoughtfully reminding her. He took out a small box of pills from his pocket and handed it to her.
Watching Xu Chuan run off quickly after Lu Nianzhi, Rong Dai glanced down at the medicine box and child beside her.
If not for what happened, Xu seemed to be a decent man after all. At least he was obviously an outstanding father, judging by how he treated his son.
"Let's go in, Heng Heng."
Rong Dai looked tenderly at little Xu Heng, her voice exceptionally gentle.
Little Xu Heng was very happy. He entered her hospital room, looking around curiously with his big eyes.
