Chapter 377 Leaving again?
Chapter 377 Leaving again?
Seeing that they were all so shocked that they were speechless, Doctor Lou said, "I'll just say she is Xiao Xi. She grew up under my nose, and I definitely won't be wrong."
Gu Huaijing's plan to return to City A was put on hold.
At night, he couldn't sleep all night.
He still remembered glancing at Lu Ruoxing's file during the day, and the name in the mother's column was "Qiao Shi".
So what exactly did Ning Xi go through in the past two years?
As long as we find her, we can find out everything else.
Next to the pillow is a small sachet made by Ning Xi herself. It has been left there for so long that it has lost its original fragrance.
But Gu Huaijing still held it tightly in his palm, hoping that God would bless him once and give him an answer quickly.
Inside the Hilton Hotel, Ning Xi was also tossing and turning.
In addition to being puzzled as to why Dr. Lou had identified the wrong person, she was more worried about her daughter's condition.
If we can’t find a miracle doctor, what should we do about the child’s condition? Do we really have to take the risk of having lifelong sequelae and have surgery?
Lu Ruoxing came out to relax these days, and the little guy was so happy. Once the operation was done, it was very likely that he would not be able to experience this kind of fun for the rest of his life.
Looking at the child's adorable face, Ning Xi couldn't help but feel a deep sense of heartache in her eyes.
Lu Ruoxing stretched out her little hands and hugged her, "Mom, it's time for us to go to bed. We have to pick up Dad tomorrow."
Ning Xi pulled the quilt with one hand and held her in her arms with the other, suppressing her depressed mood.
"it is good."
Soon, Lu Ruoxing, who was tired from playing, fell asleep in her arms.
Ning Xi also slowly closed her eyes.
Yes, Lu Xiu sent a message today saying that the matter has been dealt with and he will take the earliest flight here tomorrow.
Since this concerns the child's health, she must discuss it with Lu Xiu.
In the morning, Ning Xi got up early and took her children to pick up the airport.
The airport in City S was bustling with people and was noisy for a while.
Lu Ruoxing had sharp eyes. She caught a glimpse of the familiar figure from a distance among the crowd and waved, "Dad, we are here——"
Lu Xiu walked over quickly carrying his suitcase.
He has been busy with company affairs recently, and Ning Xi's replies in text messages and phone calls were very vague. He was worried that something might have happened, so he rushed back.
Lu Ruoxing trotted forward and threw herself into his arms, "Dad, I've missed you so much these days!"
My restless mood finally got better.
Lu Xiu picked her up with one hand and said, "Have you been listening to your mother these days?"
"Ruoxing, good boy. Daddy just got off the plane. Can mommy hold you?"
"No, no. I've been very good these past few days. I just want daddy to hug me."
"Little brat." Lu Xiu was amused by her cute appearance. He reached out and touched the tip of her nose. His eyes fell gently on Ning Xi again. "It won't tire me to hug you. But you, have you become so thin in just a few days?"
"Really?" Ning touched his chin, not caring too much, "Maybe it's because of the unfamiliar climate."
Even if the two had a conflict on the phone, they should not be too unfamiliar in front of the children.
Ning Xi naturally understood that this was Lu Xiu's way of tolerating her.
So when Lu Xiu checked into the hotel, Ning Xi arranged everything very well and took the initiative to help him pack his luggage.
While the child was in the bathroom, Lu Xiu gently hugged her from behind: "I forgot to ask you just now."
Ning Xi was startled and whispered, "...what?"
"Is Ruoxing the only one who misses me?" Lu Xiu rested his chin on Ning Xi's shoulder, his hands placed on his waist very tactfully, his voice a little muffled, "Xiao Xi, what about you?"
Ning Xi's ears suddenly felt hot: "The child is still here..."
Before he finished speaking, the bathroom door showed signs of opening, and Lu Xiu let go of his hand at the right time.
He originally thought that he would be more or less angry when he saw Ning Xi, after all, she left so abruptly without saying goodbye.
But the moment I really saw her, all that anger was gone with the wind.
The past two years of getting along have made his feelings for Ning Xi even deeper.
After washing her hands, Lu Ruoxing came out skipping and jumping, and the family of three went to the restaurant they had made a reservation at.
At the dinner table, Lu Ruoxing chatted about what she had seen and heard in the past few days, from Nanyu Street to Feisheng Newspaper Office. Every place in S City was very new to her.
When talking about the Tribulus Clinic, she looked up and asked, "Dad, do you know who Xiaoxi is?"
Lu Xiu paused while picking up the food. He quickly concealed his abnormal expression and said calmly, "I haven't heard of it. What's the matter?"
"Yesterday my mother took me to the clinic, and an old man kept calling her Xiaoxi. My mother said he recognized the wrong person, but he kept calling her that. It was so strange."
After hearing this, Lu Xiu's heart was immediately alarmed. Could it be that Ning Xi met someone she knew? !
But his expression remained calm and he slowly looked towards Ning Xi.
"I was just about to tell you about this. Yesterday I finally found out the address of the clinic, but when I went there, Miss Ning wasn't there. An old doctor insisted that I was the director of the clinic." Ning Xi sighed helplessly, with a hint of confusion in her tone, "Lu Xiu, do you think there are really strangers in the world who look exactly like you?"
At this point, Lu Xiu's heart was in his throat.
I'm afraid if he had been a step later, he wouldn't be able to sit here and have dinner with Ning Xi.
He took a sip of soup and spoke in a nonchalant tone.
"I can't say they are exactly alike, but with so many people in the world, there are bound to be a few who look alike. Maybe the other person just made a mistake."
Ning Xi thought about it and it seemed to be the case, but she also felt something was strange.
Not only did others mistake her for someone else, she also had an indescribable sense of familiarity with many people and things in City S.
She pondered for a moment and asked one more question: "Have I been here before?"
"Didn't I tell you? You used to study and live in H City, and that's where we met." Lu Xiu scooped her a bowl of fresh soup and calmly changed the subject, "Okay, don't think too much, let's eat first."
Although Ning Xi didn't dwell on this topic anymore, the moment Lu Xiu lowered his eyes, he had already made up his mind.
To avoid any further complications, we must bring the person back as soon as possible.
After eating and drinking, Lu Ruoxing fell asleep in Ning Xi's arms on the way back to the hotel.
Lu Xiu said softly: "Xiao Shi, since you haven't found that miracle doctor, what are you going to do next?"
Ning Xi thought for a moment: "I want to find a chance to ask again. The doctor yesterday confused me. I don't know where Miss Ning went."
"Let me go ask them tomorrow, otherwise they will pester you again if you go." Lu Xiu moved closer, stretched out his hand to tuck Ning Xi's soft hair behind her ears, and said slowly, "I also hope that Ruoxing's illness can get better soon. However, if we really can't find that miracle doctor, we..."
Ning Xi pursed her lips.
"If we can't find it, let's take Ruoxing back. We can't keep dragging it on here."
"Okay." After getting a satisfactory answer, Lu Xiu smiled gently.
