Chapter 372: Dear Little Xu Heng
Chapter 372
"Auntie Rong, could you break both bars in half and put them together as one for me to eat? I really want to eat them..."
He looked at Rong Dai pleadingly, his voice soft and tender.
Rong Dai\'s motherly heart melted at his words. How could she not give in?
"Alright, Xu Heng is so clever!"
If this was her own son, she would happily let him eat as much as he wanted!
But this child had a heart condition. She kept Xu Chuan\'s warnings firmly in mind.
"Thank you, Auntie Rong!"
Getting what he wanted, Little Xu Heng beamed gleefully, his eyes smiling into little crescent moons.
Little Xu Heng was such an obedient and considerate child. After playing with him for a while, Rong Dai realized there wasn\'t much for a child to play within the room.
This was a private hospital specializing in caring for pregnant women.
There were some toys for children to play with in the hospital, all expensive imported ones. She had sent the bodyguards at the door to buy building blocks and jigsaw puzzles.
Rong Dai was worried the floor might be dirty and make the child sick.
So she removed the mattress covers and bedsheets, changing them for clean ones for her and the child to play with the blocks and puzzles on the bed.
Watching Little Xu Heng eased the anguish that Rong Dai had kept suppressed within.
She would make sure to stay healthy so that the next time her little angel comes, she would be able to care for him properly.
Unknowingly, the two of them played for a long time until it was nearly evening and Xu Chuan and Lu Nianzhi had still not returned.
"Are you feeling hungry?"
Rong Dai gazed at his rosy red cheeks, feeling tenderhearted. She touched his soft little head impulsively and gently asked if he was hungry.
Little Xu Heng had played for a long time and enjoyed himself but he still missed his daddy in his heart.
He glanced outside at the darkening sky, his face crumpling into a little ball.
"I\'m a little hungry but I want to wait for Daddy to come back so we can eat together."
Rong Dai just smiled softly and stroked his head, not saying anything.
"If Auntie Rong is hungry, I can eat a little with you first."
After a short pause, he looked up brightly at Rong Dai.
Rong Dai gave a wry laugh, this child was so adorable and considerate!
"There\'s a restaurant here. Let Auntie change first and I\'ll accompany you there for something to eat. What can you not eat, you can tell Auntie."
At her words about eating at the restaurant, Little Xu Heng perked up immediately!
Daddy always said that food outside was unhygienic and would make him fall sick so he rarely ate out at restaurants.
The last time Daddy brought him to a restaurant was a very long time ago!
"I can\'t eat garlic, ginger, spring onions, chili peppers, MSG...that seems to be all."
Little Xu Heng earnestly counted off each item on his fingers.
Rong Dai was briefly taken aback as she recalled Xu Chuan\'s words.
This child\'s heart condition meant that at a public restaurant with many people, it was difficult to achieve the same standards of hygiene as cooking at home.
"Is there too many things Xu Heng can\'t eat, Auntie? Then...then just bread is okay."
Seeing her unable to respond, Little Xu Heng thought he was too difficult to care for.
When he was previously warded and his daddy could not come on time, the nurses said he was too pampered and difficult to manage.
But daddy does the same things at home!
When Rong Dai saw his guarded and self-blaming look, she felt a sudden pain in her heart. She patted him comfortingly and said with a smile, "No, Auntie can cook too."
"The food I cook is just as good as the restaurant. What would Xu Heng prefer to eat?"
