Chapter 675: Chapter 675: A Specially Prepared New Room
Although Xiaoyi was reluctant, she understood and didn’t say anything more. She just nodded and said, “Then I’ll wait for brother to come back! Xiaoyi will also study hard like brother!”
Rong Ling: “Doctor Fan said that while brother is abroad, he can help take care of you. So, do you want to stay with Doctor Fan or with Aunt Li?”
Xiaoyi thought for a moment, “I can stay with either, but I’m afraid of troubling them.”
Rong Ling said, “That’s not something you should worry about. This is a favor brother owes them, and in the future, he will repay them.”
Xiaoyi said, “Can I stay with Aunt Li?”
Perhaps it was Li Yufei’s gentleness that reminded her of the feeling of her mother.
When Xiaoyi first met Li Yufei, she was a bit afraid in her heart, always feeling that this beautiful aunt gave off a cold aura, was meticulous in her work, like a queen on high.
But when Li Yufei took the initiative to talk to her, gently caring for her, she felt an inexplicable sense of fulfillment!
When she was very young, her mother abandoned her and left home.
But she didn’t blame her mother.
Because she saw with her own eyes her father drunkenly beating her mother. Her mother ran away from home and married another man, so she couldn’t take her to that new home, and she ended up living with her brother.
But she actually craved motherly love very much.
Xiaoyi had a slight “mother complex,” having an inexplicable fondness and reliance on older women, whether gentle big sisters or aunts, caused by a lack of security and motherly love since childhood.
The next day.
Rong Ling accompanied Xiaoyi to the hospital to schedule surgery.
A week later, the surgery proceeded smoothly.
After staying in the hospital for three days, Xiaoyi went home.
The doctor said the surgery was very successful. Although corneal transplant surgery isn’t too difficult, recovery requires a bit of time, about two months.
Fortunately, by the time she recovers almost completely, it will be just in time for school to start.
However, she might not be able to complete the assignments for this holiday.
Rong Ling contacted the teacher, explained the special situation, and the teacher approved, saying that Xiaoyi could slowly make up the homework after she recovers.
Xiaoyi was overjoyed!
No homework, what a blast!
Although these assignments would have to be made up afterward, and during the recovery, she can’t use her phone or watch TV, she felt very happy thinking she wouldn’t have to wear those vision aids in the future!
After that—
Rong Ling packed his luggage slightly.
All procedures were already completed.
Professor Lu asked him to pack his luggage.
Princeton University starts fairly early, in mid-August.
So next month, he’d have to go abroad early and coordinate with the host family upon arrival in the United States.
That morning.
He went to the company to handle resignation procedures.
Rong Ling’s resignation procedures were directly submitted to the executive office for approval as the HR department didn’t dare to give special approval.
Li Yufei personally approved his resignation and even credited two months’ salary to his account.
After packing everything, Rong Ling went to the executive office to collect his resignation papers.
Li Yufei had a board meeting that afternoon and said to him without looking up, “Sit for a while.”
She was still busy preparing the meeting agenda.
Today’s meeting had a lot of content, and some items required her personal review.
After finishing briefly, Li Yufei got up and sat down opposite Rong Ling on the sofa: “When are you going abroad?”
Rong Ling: “Possibly by the end of the month.”
Li Yufei: “Have you booked the ticket?”
Rong Ling: “Professor Lu said he would help me book it.”
Li Yufei nodded.
Rong Ling said, “Yesterday I asked Xiaoyi, she said she prefers you over Doctor Fan.”
Li Yufei couldn’t help but smile, “Really?”
Rong Ling: “She never had a mother. She said you are very gentle and she likes you a lot. Can you help me take care of her for a while?”
Li Yufei: “Of course.”
He opened his mouth, pondered for a moment: “If you’re willing to help take care of Xiaoyi, how much living expenses should I send you each month?”
Li Yufei raised her eyebrows: “How much does Xiaoyi spend in a month?”
She actually didn’t care about so-called living expenses; after all, providing for one more Xiaoyi was nothing. With her resources, she sponsored the tuition of hundreds of college students each year for free.
But since Rong Ling raised the topic, she didn’t refuse, just that she had no concept of the necessary expenses for raising a child.
Rong Ling said, “Xiaoyi spends very little usually, but she’s quite malnourished, so she needs more nutrition.”
Pause, he said: “I’ll send her ten thousand each month for her expenses.”
Li Yufei: “Alright.”
Rong Ling: “Yufei, thank you.”
He suddenly called her by name.
Li Yufei’s expression was slightly startled; suddenly, she realized he had resigned. From this moment on, they were no longer in a superior-subordinate relationship, calling her by name was natural.
Li Yufei said, “Don’t mention it. Rest assured, I will take good care of your sister.”
Rong Ling stood up, and Li Yufei stood up as well.
Li Yufei: “Before you go abroad, bring Xiaoyi over. I’ll have a room prepared for her.”
Rong Ling: “Alright.”
A week later.
Rong Ling packed Xiaoyi’s luggage and took her to the Li Family.
Li Yufei had already arranged for someone to prepare a room for Xiaoyi.
The entire bedroom faced south with a spacious living balcony, an en-suite bathroom, study, and a roughly twenty-square-meter walk-in closet, with a nanny available for care 24 hours a day.
Standing at the entrance of the Li Family, Xiaoyi was still a little nervous facing such a large luxurious house, everything was unfamiliar.
Junjun came downstairs, saw Xiaoyi, and raised an eyebrow: “Xiaoyi.”
He walked over and extended his hand to her: “Mom has prepared a room for you, let me show you around.”
Xiaoyi timidly nodded, took his hand.
The two little ones went upstairs hand in hand.
Rong Ling and Li Yufei followed behind.
Li Yufei arranged for Xiaoyi’s room right next to Junjun’s room.
Xiaoyi stood at the door as Junjun gently pushed it open, revealing a warm and dreamy bedroom.
The cabinet was new, the bed was new too.
A white solid wood canopy bed, snow-white lace curtains, giving off a French princess vibe.
A designated study desk and a custom full wall of bookshelves filled with reference books and various extracurricular books.
Xiaoyi glanced around, hardly daring to believe that such a beautiful room was specially prepared for her by Li Yufei.
She couldn’t help feeling a bit overwhelmed.
Xiaoyi: “So beautiful…”
Only a princess could live in such a luxurious room!
Junjun said: “My room is next door.”
Xiaoyi was curious: “I haven’t visited your room yet!”
Junjun grabbed her hand: “I’ll take you to see it!”
Xiaoyi nodded.
The two little ones ran to the room next door together.
