Chapter 890 - 871: When Will You Come Again
Qi Yufei, with his short little legs, was sitting on the swing in the courtyard. Little Treasure, the chow chow, was pushing the swing with its head, and the little guy was enjoying the service.
"Sister, will you guys stay here to play with me forever?" It was clear that Qi Yufei really liked Lou Xi, and just the thought of her leaving made him unhappy.
Moreover, Qin Mobai had just said that he would take Lou Xi away soon!
"Of course not." Qin Mobai answered for Lou Xi, directly shattering Qi Yufei’s hopes.
Lou Xi felt that Qin Mobai and Qi Yufei were about to start bickering again, and she couldn’t understand why Qin Mobai had such a bone to pick with a child.
"Then... when will you come back again?"
"I don’t know."
"I asked my sister, so why do you always answer for her? I wasn’t asking you."
"Because my answer is Lou Xi’s answer."
Well then, Qi Yufei was completely hopeless. He knew that this old man, Qin Mobai, had an unusual possessiveness over Lou Xi, and he, even when he grew up, would never have a chance to be with her.
There was absolutely nothing he could do about it.
Feeling despondent about life, Qi Yufei thought it might be better to just stick with his own dog.
"Short legs, where’s your dad?" Qin Mobai held Lou Xi close as he started chatting casually with the little guy.
"Stop calling me short legs. Once I grow up, I won’t be short legs anymore. By then, I’ll definitely be taller than you!" Qi Yufei shook his short little legs defiantly and said, "My dad... I’ve never seen him since I was born. I’ve always lived with my mom."
Qi Yufei said it nonchalantly, as if he didn’t care about the topic of his father.
But Lou Xi and Qin Mobai understood that Qi Yufei was growing up in a single-parent family, and as for the whereabouts of his father, Qi Yufei didn’t know.
The innkeeper managed such a big guesthouse all by herself while also taking care of her child. It really was tough for her.
Knowing Qi Yufei was in a single-parent family, Lou Xi’s concern and affection for him deepened even more.
"Many people stay at the guesthouse every month, but you’re my favorite, sister, so I hope you stay a while longer," Qi Yufei blinked, "Little Treasure, push faster!"
Little Treasure heard Qi Yufei’s command and really pushed the swing with its head, fulfilling its little master’s request.
The swing went higher, and Qi Yufei laughed joyfully.
But for some reason, Lou Xi’s right eyelid kept twitching.
Suddenly, Lou Xi saw the smile on Qi Yufei’s little face freeze, the rosy cheeks turning pale, and his hands released the swing.
"Baby—" Lou Xi suddenly broke free from Qin Mobai’s arm and ran towards Qi Yufei.
Before Qi Yufei could fall off the swing, Lou Xi caught him.
"Baby!" Lou Xi looked at Qi Yufei’s pale face. He seemed to be feeling very unwell, unable to catch his breath.
Qin Mobai came over, seeing Qi Yufei having an attack, "I’ll call an ambulance. You go inside and get the innkeeper."
Lou Xi immediately laid Qi Yufei on the ground and ran into the guesthouse, while the chow chow howled by Qi Yufei’s side.
Lou Xi ran into the guesthouse and saw the innkeeper at the reception desk, "Innkeeper, the baby was on the swing just now and fainted. His face is pale, and he can’t breathe!"
As soon as the innkeeper heard what Lou Xi said, she immediately got up from her chair and rushed out.
