Chapter 985: A Slap On His Face

Mother Zhou was also stunned. Then, she went forward and patted Zhou Sileng on the back. She coaxed him in a low voice, “Sileng, grandma is going to call daddy now. You have to sleep well. When you wake up, daddy will appear in front of you…”

Zhou Sileng, who was sleeping, nodded his head in a daze.

Mother Zhou walked out.

Because the door of the ward was not tightly shut, Bai Qi could hear Mother Zhou’s phone call. The phone rang twice before it was picked up. “Hello…”

Mother Zhou immediately froze. She glanced at the phone number. It was the right number. Why was it a girl’s voice? “Hi, hello. Who is this? I’m looking for Zhou Yao.”

“Looking for General Zhou. General Zhou is sleeping beside me. Do you want me to wake him up?” The girl’s voice was very sweet.

Mother Zhou immediately furrowed her brows and said unhappily, “Sleeping? Who are you? I’m Zhou Yao’s mother.”

The girl startled, and her voice became gentle and respectful. “Aunt Zhou, Hello, I’m Yang Lin…”

The Yang and Zhou families were aristocratic families. Of course, Mother Zhou knew Chief Yang’s only daughter. Mother Zhou’s expression was unnatural as she smiled. “Oh, so it’s Yang Lin…”

Bai Qi did not listen to the rest of the phone call. She lowered her gaze to look at Little Sileng on the hospital bed. The little guy was still mumbling, “Daddy… Daddy…”

Bai Qi’s entire face was deathly pale. She clenched her fists tightly, and even when she pinched her nails into her palms. She did not feel any pain. She was almost unable to breathe.

“Sileng, Daddy… will come very soon…” She could only console the little guy in a pale and powerless manner.

…

Time passed very quickly. In the blink of an eye, it was already night time. Mother Zhou said, “Ms. Bai, it’s getting late. You should go back and rest. I’ll stay here to take care of Sileng.”

Bai Qi shook her head. She looked at Ms. Zhou and said, “Auntie, you should go back first. Tonight, Sileng will be staying in the hospital. You can go back and make some porridge for Sileng. Later, when he wakes up, feed him.”

Mother Zhou patted her head and said, “That’s right. How could I have forgotten about this? I was only worried about Sileng. I’m really old, and my head isn’t good anymore. Then, Ms. Bai, I’ll go back first. It’s been hard on you to stay here for a while.”

“Mmm, okay.” Bai Qi nodded.

Mother Zhou left.

Because of his high fever, Zhou Sileng’s lips were very dry. Bai Qi poured some warm water and used a small spoon to moisten his lips. The little guy stuck out his little tongue and licked his lips.

Bai Qi looked at his cute appearance and revealed a smile.

At this moment, the sound of hurried footsteps sounded in her ears. The ward door was pushed open with force, and the cold and fresh air from outside poured in.

There was another person beside Bai Qi. The man’s low and hoarse voice sounded, “What’s wrong with Sileng?”

The smile on Bai Qi’s face instantly disappeared. She pursed her red lips and did not speak.

At this moment, her vision went dark. The man standing next to her immediately bent down. The man’s rough and broad hands held Zhou Sileng’s small face. He bent down and used his cheek to touch Zhou Sileng’s forehead.

It was no longer hot.

Zhou Yao’s tensed face relaxed and he let out a breath.

Standing up straight, Zhou Yao looked down at Bai Qi and said indifferently, “Ms. Bai, thank you for coming. Now that I’m here, you can go back.”

“If I go back, are you sure you won’t leave Sileng alone in the hospital?”

The woman’s tone was very normal, but Zhou Yao could hear the sarcasm in her words. His expression was not pleasant to begin with, and now it completely darkened. “What do you mean?”

“You know what I mean.” Bai Qi suddenly stood up and looked at the man in front of her coldly, “It’s night now. What does nighttime mean to you, General Zhou? You have so many women around you. What if one of them calls you and you leave Sileng here alone?”

Zhou Yao didn’t say anything, but his gaze on Bai Qi’s face suddenly became gloomy and sharp, like a small whirlpool that was about to drag Bai Qi into it.

In the past, Bai Qi might have been afraid of him, but now, Bai Qi only curled the corners of her lips and continued, “Oh, I remember now. You’ve already slept with a woman in the afternoon. Perhaps you don’t have enough energy, so you won’t be able to sleep with another woman at night.”

Zhou Yao stared at her. Compared to her fierce words, the man just smiled unrulily and said, “Ms. Bai, why do I detect a hint of jealousy in your words? Are you blaming me for not sleeping with you…”

Before he could finish his sentence, Bai Qi reached out and slapped him.

The crisp sound of the slap was heard, and Zhou Yao’s face turned sideways.

He did not expect this woman to have the guts to hit him. In the past, she was very afraid of him and avoided him like snakes and scorpions. But now she had slapped him, where did she get the courage?

Zhou Yao turned his head and stared at her coldly and sinisterly.

Bai Qi was not afraid of him. Her entire body was trembling. As long as she thought about how little Sileng was thinking about this daddy, and how this daddy was melting in a sweet place, she felt like her whole body was on fire.

How could he do this?

How did he become like this?

The two of them looked at each other coldly and did not give in to each other. The smell of gunpowder was thick in the air. At this moment, Mother Zhou’s voice sounded, “Ms. Bai, I’m back…”

Ms. Zhou was stunned when she saw the two of them standing in the ward. Then, she looked at Zhou Yao with a serious expression. “You’re aware enough to come to the hospital? I thought you had forgotten about this son of yours.”

Zhou Yao was in a terrible mood. His temper was bad to begin with. This woman had successfully angered him. He would not hit a woman, so he only wanted to kick things.

The patience and self-control that he had accumulated over the past four years were easily broken down before this woman.

Now that he was criticized by his own mother, he immediately frowned at Mother Zhou in displeasure. “Mom!”

Mother Zhou smacked her lips. “Fine, I won’t care about you anymore. Ms. Bai, you’ve worked hard.”

Bai Qi shook her head, her face pale. “I’m fine… I’m going to the bathroom.”

She walked out of the ward.

…

Bai Qi stood by the window in the corridor and felt the wind for quite a while. The cold winter wind was like a knife on her face, but only this cold wind could calm her down and make her more rational.

Ten minutes later, she turned around and returned to the ward.

When she opened the ward door, she was immediately shocked. There was no one else in the ward, and Little Sileng had disappeared.

Bai Qi’s pupils dilated, and she immediately ran to the nurse’s desk. “Excuse me, where is the little boy in the ward? Isn’t he receiving an infusion there? Why is he missing?”

“Miss, don’t be nervous. The infusion is over. The little boy’s father insisted on him being discharged from the hospital, and he has already taken the little boy away.”

What?

Bai Qi turned around and ran.

She hailed a taxi and headed straight for the Zhou family villa. Along the way, her hands and feet were cold. What did that man mean? He did it on purpose, didn’t he? He didn’t want her to see Sileng?

Bai Qi couldn’t calm down. When she reached the villa, she rang the doorbell.

The maid quickly opened the door. She rushed into the living room. At this time, Mother Zhou came out to welcome her. Bai Qi immediately asked nervously, “Auntie, where is Sileng?”
