Ru's departure led to a wave of questions that were thrown at Xu Mey while Jie enjoyed his soup on the side. And when Xu Mey explained the details of how she met Ru, it left everyone dumbstruck.

"Little Mey, why didn't you tell us sooner?" Wu Wang felt guilty for glaring at Ru earlier. Knowing that Ru was the one who saved Xu Mey all those years ago was enough to make each one of them feel guilty and gratitude towards Ru.

"We needed to thank that person," He Jian added along with Wu Wang.

All of them heard a scoff and turned their eyes towards Jie. "Like she cares about a thank you. She'd rather shove it in my face for the rest of our life." He was grumbling under his breath but for their curiosity, he changed his words to, "Baby, come and have some breakfast."

Sharing the breakfast together Xu Mey walked out of the room to let Jie rest peacefully. Oddly, there was a certain person in the room who hadn't even moved a muscle since Ru entered or left the room and that person was none other than our Dr. Yang Ziyi.

When she finally came out of the room in a daze, Xu Mey nudged her lightly and asked, "Are you okay?"

Being startled awake, Yang Ziyi took a moment to adjust her emotions before she squealed like a schoolgirl. "OMG! OMG! How can anyone be okay after seeing that gorgeous piece of a male god? I'm still swooning here." It didn't take long for Xu Mey to realize that she was talking about Ru and the thought made her giggle as well. "Do you know him? His number? Anything?"

Wu Wang slapped the back of her head and scowled, "What are you? Male Hungry now?"

"There is no such thing as male hungry!" Yang Ziyi retorted.

"The look on your face says otherwise." Wu Wang pointed out the obvious but Yang Ziyi chose to not pay any attention to him as she turned back to Xu Mey.

"I heard he is Jie bro's friend. How are you so calm?" Xu Mey frowned at her question and Yang Ziyi had to explain, "Trust me, sis. With that face, that man is more like an enchanter who can even bend a straight man. You better keep an eye out for that."

Xu Mey almost choked on air as she coughed. "Are you serious? Stop thinking weird things." Inwardly Xu Mey was like, 'Sensei didn't even fancy me when I had a huge crush on him. How can Ah-Jie be better?'

Well, if our Xu Mey knew that Ru was a girl, she might have really puked blood by now.

Suddenly Xu Mey's gaze fell on Xiamu walking down the corridor towards her with her father by his side. Both of them were talking about something but Xu Mey's focus was on other stuff. For instance, for the first time, she noticed the similarities between them.

Xiamu had the same height as her father, his eyes might be black like hers but they were phoenix shaped like her father, he had those small habits like her father as well... Like he would occasionally frown in an adorable way.

Xu Mey found the sight of them together to be heartwarming. And instantly, all her doubts were gone. All that left behind was determination.

Her father needed a son to lean on. And she was going to give that son back to him!

Xu Mey met Xiamu and Xu Cheng halfway and it made Xu Cheng scowl, "Meymey, why are you out of bed? Can you please take care of your health?"

Before she could placate her father, another one chimed in an identical way, "You shouldn't be out like this. Pregnant women are sensitive to weather, what if some complications arise. Why are you being so careless?"

Xu Mey wanted to gape at Xiamu in disbelief but her heart betrayed her. She felt really giddy inside when she heard Xiamu scolding her. She thought, 'Ah, so this is the feeling of being scolded by my younger brother. It's interesting.'

Seeing her grinning all by herself both the men before her frowned in confusion. "Why are you smiling? Is your health a joke now? Or are we funny?" Xiamu questioned as he rubbed his tired eyes. He hadn't been out of the hospital since he brought Xu Mey and Jie. He didn't wish to leave at all.

Without saying anything, Xu Mey held the hands of both her father and Xiamu before dragging them to an empty room.

"Meymey, what's wrong?" Xu Cheng asked with worry.

Xu Mey didn't reply, she turned to Xiamu and wrapped her arms around his muscular body. "Thank you for saving me, my Ah-Jie and our little bundle of joy. I was thinking about how to repay you." Xiamu felt hurt by being treated as an outsider since she talked about repaying his kindness. But the next instant he was left stunned to his spot. "But now I know, I just have to hug my little brother for protecting his sister and her family."
