Chapter 334: Chapter 334: Afraid that He’ll Croak in the Hospital Room

Bring journalists at this time?

Lu Xining turned her head to glance in the direction of the ward, her pupils flashing with doubt.

Except for the time when the research facility just made its official announcement, she had arranged a press conference once, and for the rest of the time, she had made it clear in advance that she refused any media visits and interviews.

It’s likely that the journalists have come for Ji Muye this time, but how did those people find out he was with her?

"Cancel the interview."

"Call a few more bodyguards over to guard the entrance, strengthen the patrols, and absolutely do not allow anyone to sneak in."

In the initial phase of material selection for the research facility, considering the privacy required in the later stages of experiments, all the glass was made one-way: people inside could see out clearly, but those outside couldn’t see in.

Drone signal jammers had even been installed inside the facility.

As long as those people don’t run inside, there’s no need to worry about other aspects.

Lu Xining reviewed the events from last night to this morning; all the traces in the back mountains had been cleaned up thoroughly, and even if someone managed to come out through the hidden path by the cliff, they would be stopped by the bodyguards stationed there.

This was not a concern.

As for the clothes of Ji Muye and Ma Sai, they were burned after the surgery was over.

She’d had the lineage of every person at the domestic research facility investigated for three generations, making sure they were all clean without any mixed affiliations, so there were no concerns about confidentiality.

"Okay, Professor Lu."

Since starting from C country, the female assistant had been by Lu Xining’s side and was very efficient in handling matters.

While she contacted the security personnel to come over, she also kept close behind Lu Xining as they moved forward.

"Prepare new phones and SIM cards for them."

Lu Xining thought of Ji Muye, who had no means of communication on him at the time, and instructed her assistant to arrange a new phone and SIM card for him so that he could contact his two sons.

"All persons entering the research facility hereafter must undergo strict identity checks."

The assistant noted down her instructions one by one without inquiring too much into the reasons. From the moment she knew the person in the ward was her boss’s ex-husband, she admired her boss’s magnanimity.

Even abroad, there weren’t many ex-wives who could do so much for their ex-husbands.

Although it was all for the sake of the children.

No sooner had Lu Xining returned to her office than she received a call from Shang Lvxing, inviting her to attend a banquet in Beicheng next month, where the Shang Family, Zhuang Family, Xi Family, and other high-society families of Beicheng would be present.

Nowadays, just the mention of banquets gave Lu Xining a bit of a headache.

"I’m aware, I’ll try my best to make time for it."

Lu Xining stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, gazing at the deep greenery outside, with myriad thoughts in her eyes.

She felt like she was standing on an isolated island, surrounded by endless ocean, when suddenly, ships approached from afar, their passengers wearing masks of smiles, saying they would take her away.

Whether they were foxes or tigers, one would only know after boarding.

Lu Xining took out her wallet from her bag, where in a compartment, there was a photo of her and her mother together.

It was her full-month celebration photo.

A lady born to enjoy wealth and splendor, wearing a simple and unadorned qipao, cradling a newborn.

Upon closer inspection, the newly born Lu Nuonuo looked exactly like her when she was a child.

And her current appearance was about seventy to eighty percent similar to Chu Yan.

"Mom, soon, everything will come to an end."

"I will give you and Grandpa a satisfactory resolution."

The coldness and determination in her eyes reflected on the window; her icy pupils held no warmth.

Inside the single-patient ward.

Ji Muye, besides waking up and seeing Lu Xining once on the first day, had not seen her again in the following two days.

He turned his head to look at the black cellphone on the bedside table, which she gave him to keep in touch with their twin sons, feeling like he was nothing more than a tool she used to placate the twins’ emotions.

Having not seen his daughter for a while, Ji Muye also missed her terribly.

Suddenly, the door to the hospital room was pushed open from outside.

The man’s gaze was drawn over, and he was momentarily surprised to see a delicate and exquisite Little Dumpling peeking into the room from outside. Her eyes lit up visibly when she saw him.

"Uncle!"

The clear voice of a child chased away the silence in the room.

Lu Nuonuo had just come from the airport, still wearing her little fox fur coat, looking pink and tender, like an adorable and charming little sprite.

She couldn’t wait to find her mother at the research base.

But the assistant auntie said that her mother was conducting an experiment and couldn’t see her now; she had to wait for a few hours.

However, her stepfather was here too, so Lu Nuonuo decided to come and play with him for a while.

But the assistant auntie did not say that her stepfather was cosplaying, right?

Having just attended a Halloween event abroad a few days ago, upon seeing Ji Muye wrapped up like a Mummy, Lu Nuonuo’s clear and bright eyes were filled with curiosity.

"Uncle, are you dressing up as a Mummy?"

Ji Muye, unable to explain: "..."

The female assistant who brought the child over heard her straightforward words and sneaked another glance at the man’s current state, barely stifling a twitch at the corner of her mouth.

Once inside the room, the warmth made Lu Nuonuo’s little face glow, turning her into a rosy-cheeked apple.

The female assistant helped Little Dumpling take off her coat and scarf and left after giving her a couple of reminders.

In the quiet and warm hospital room, Lu Nuonuo looked somewhat troubled as she considered the height of the hospital bed—whose frustrations could understand the troubles of this little radish head?

Little Dumpling: Not tall enough! So frustrating!

Amused by his daughter’s spirited facial expression, Ji Muye spoke delightfully, "Nuonuo, take a rest."

After trying several times and still unable to climb onto the hospital bed, Lu Nuonuo looked determinedly across the room, her gaze landing on an armchair not far away, and immediately called the bodyguard uncle over to help.

Five minutes later, the armchair was moved next to the hospital bed.

Lu Nuonuo took off her shoes, stood on the sofa, and was just the right height to get close and look at Ji Muye’s face, frowning slightly when she saw the scar on his cheek.

"Uncle, does it hurt?"

"It’s alright, not very painful."

"Nuonuo will blow on it, hoo hoo, and it won’t hurt anymore."

These past days, Ji Muye had been resting in bed, unable to move, and his wounds had to be dressed every day.

Just removing these bandages was a painful torment.

But before this, he had never felt it was too unbearable. Now, hearing his daughter’s concerned words, a warm current slowly welled up in the man’s heart.

Ji Muye’s lips curved slightly: "Nuonuo is such a good girl."

Didn’t Lu Xining say the kids were coming back on the 3rd?

How come they’re back half a week early?

A possibility flashed in Ji Muye’s mind, but then he thought it wasn’t likely.

In the time that followed.

Lu Nuonuo was feeding him water and food, terrified that he might perish right there in the hospital room.

And later, while coaxing him to sleep, she managed to lull herself to sleep as well.

When Lu Xining finished her work and came in, she saw the sleepy Little Dumpling lying sweetly next to Ji Muye.
