Chapter 249 Aggravation of Illness_1
“Wow, Hello KT looks even prettier now.” Tongtong grabbed the jade pendant from Xu Fan’s hands and happily hugged it to her chest.
“Haha, does Tongtong like the gift daddy gave her?” Xu Fan stroked Tongtong’s little head, looking at the excited little girl with doting eyes.
“Like it, like it…” Tongtong nodded with joy, her eyes brimming with excitement.
“Right, daddy, Tongtong has some good news to tell you too.” Holding the jade pendant, Tongtong burrowed into Xu Fan’s embrace like a little bear and said adorably.
“Oh? Good news? What good news does Tongtong have for daddy?” Xu Fan asked with interest.
“Daddy, daddy, the neighborhood is holding a children’s sports event tomorrow, and it’s something where both mommies and daddies participate. But mommy has to work, so Tongtong will go with daddy,” Tongtong said with a tinge of yearning.
“Oh? A sports event? Can such little kids even take part in a sports event?” Xu Fan questioned.
“Of course! It was personally announced by the homeowners’ committee. All the other kids in the neighborhood will participate with their parents, and there’s a reward if you get first place!” Tongtong looked at Xu Fan, full of longing.
“But daddy hasn’t trained the War Wolf’s puppies for two days, and I might not have time tomorrow,” Xu Fan said, the corner of his mouth twitching, teasing Tongtong a little.
When Tongtong heard Xu Fan say he might not have time, her little face fell immediately, looking at Xu Fan with an aggrieved expression, her big eyes filling with a layer of mist, on the verge of tears.
“Whimper… poor Tongtong, neither mommy nor daddy will accompany Tongtong,” Tongtong waved her little hands, looking heartbroken as she squirmed in Xu Fan’s embrace.
Seeing that the little girl was about to cry, Xu Fan quickly held Tongtong in his arms, caressed her little head affectionately, and cooed, “Baby don’t cry, daddy will go with you.”
No sooner had Xu Fan finished speaking, Tongtong immediately stopped crying, hugged Xu Fan’s arm tightly and crisply said, “Daddy promised promisy, you can’t go back on it!”
With her clever demeanor, there was no sign of her earlier sadness.
“You little rascal…” Xu Fan gently pinched Tongtong’s smooth little cheeks.
“I knew daddy is the best to me.” Tongtong affectionately wrapped her arms around Xu Fan’s neck.
“Alas, who asked to have such a little monster like you,” Xu Fan said with a slight smile, holding Tongtong in his embrace.
Xu Fan played with Tongtong on the sofa for a while, by which time the domestic helper Li Yueqin had already prepared Tongtong’s baby meal.
Xu Yixue and Ye Xiaoning got up very early, so they did not wake Tongtong when they got up to eat. They hired the professional domestic helper, Li Yueqin, who could also cook for Tongtong, and she made a balanced baby meal tailored for Tongtong’s growth.
“Tongtong, it’s time for dinner.” After tidying up the dining room, Li Yueqin brought out the baby meal.
“Let’s go, Tongtong, time to eat.” Xu Fan picked up Tongtong and went to the dining table. Seeing a small bib for Tongtong hanging nearby, Xu Fan gently tied the bib around Tongtong.
Sitting like a proud little princess, Tongtong patiently enjoyed Xu Fan’s care, her face radiating satisfaction.
Li Yueqin made Tongtong a bowl of egg custard, a piece of bread, a cup of milk, and a bowl of vegetable salad. Although there were various items, each was served in a small amount.
Usually, Tongtong feeds herself with her own little spoon, but since Xu Fan had arrived, he certainly couldn’t just watch Tongtong do it all by herself. He took on the role of a waiter, picked up the bowl and chopsticks, and began to feed Tongtong, bite by bite.
“Tongtong, your dad is really good to you,” Li Yueqin said emotionally upon seeing Xu Fan’s tender actions.
“Haha, of course! Tongtong’s daddy is the best daddy in the world!” Tongtong proudly said to Li Yueqin.
“My girl really understands,” Xu Fan said with a relieved smile, continuing to feed Tongtong without stopping.
It took a full twenty minutes for the meal to be finished, and only then did the little girl pat her round belly and say, “Daddy, Tongtong is full.”
Xu Fan took out a napkin to wipe Tongtong’s mouth, then picked her up.
Li Yueqin saw that Xu Fan had finished eating and came over to start clearing the table. Just then, Xu Fan’s phone rang.
With one hand holding Tongtong and the other answering the phone, Xu Fan picked up the call.
“Hello, is this Xiao Xu? I’m Lin Yaoshi, the owner of Zhi Shen Tang!” a vigorous voice came through the phone.
On hearing that it was Boss Lin, Xu Fan had seen Lin Yaoshi at the auction the day before through his Sea of Consciousness. However, he didn’t get to greet Elder Lin because Xu Fan had to rush for the Blood Bodhi.
Xu Fan hadn’t expected Elder Lin to call him today.
Xu Fan had promised to treat someone for Elder Lin within two days, and he didn’t expect a call after just one day.
“Elder Lin, this is Xu Fan,” Xu Fan replied over the phone.
“Xu my friend, I didn’t want to call you, but my friend went out with me last night and caught a bit of a cold, which has made his condition much worse. If you’re available now, could you come over and take a look? I’m worried that if we delay further, his life might be in danger,” Elder Lin spoke with an underlying tone of concern.
“Mm, I understand. I’m free this morning, so I’ll set off now. Please send me his location, and I’ll be right there,” Xu Fan said after hearing that the patient’s condition had worsened.
After all, as the condition got worse, the treatment would only become more difficult. Since he promised, it was better to treat him as soon as possible.
“My friend is at Phoenix Manor in the southern suburbs of Zhonghai City. Where are you? Shall I send a car to pick you up?”
“No need, I’ll go directly. Phoenix Manor, I’ve got it,” Xu Fan said decisively.
“Alright, then I’ll head to Phoenix Manor as well, and we’ll meet there!” Elder Lin also spoke hastily.
“Okay!” Xu Fan said, and then hung up the phone.
Lifting the little Tongtong in his arms, Xu Fan asked her, “Baby, how about Daddy takes you out to play?”
The moment Tongtong heard they were going out, her eyes gleamed with excitement, and she waved her little hands saying, “Yes, yes! Tongtong loves going out to play, it’s so boring staying inside all day.”
“Haha, then let’s go!” Xu Fan picked up Tongtong, perched her on his neck, instructed Li Yueqin, the housekeeper at Xu Yixue’s home, and then grabbed his car keys before heading out the door.
