After marrying a scientific research tycoon, I retired early and won

"Look at you..."

Tongtong walked straight past Zhou Zhixi, ignoring Zhou Zhixi's surprised look, and hugged Ji Ning without hesitation.

“Ahhh…” Tongtong hugged Ji Ning’s legs tightly and looked up at her.

Her pink apple-like face was soft and chubby, and she blinked her bright eyes, as if accusing Ji Ning of why she came back so late.

Ji Ning squatted down, eyes full of apology, and gently pinched Tongtong's cheek, "Tongtong, it's my fault. I forgot to tell you when I went out."

She apologized sincerely, but only to Tongtong.

"Plop!" Zhou's mother was startled, and the only bag of things left in her hand fell down.

Zhou Zhixi was also stunned.

Because Tongtong used to not understand what they said and couldn't express his emotions.

But now Tongtong is clearly expressing her grievances and dissatisfaction.

...No...It's impossible, it's just a coincidence.

Zhou Zhixi thought to herself, but her neck stretched forward and her eyes couldn't help looking forward to it.

After Ji Ning finished speaking, Tongtong hugged her and really stopped making trouble. Her little face was pressed against her shoulder. She seemed tired of crying and was panting like a calf.

It seems to be saying: You must keep your word.

Zhou Zhixi stood there, motionless, her nails digging deeply into her palms, hot tears streaming down her face.

Mother Zhou sighed, "I was afraid that you couldn't concentrate on your work, so I didn't tell you these things. Tongtong would make a fuss every now and then. But every time you came back, Butler Li and I would clean up the house. So it wasn't because of Ji Ning at all."

"..."

"These days, Ji Ning has been working hard to accompany her every day, talking and drawing with her, and her voice has become hoarse. She also has to read books at night. I took her out to relax. What's wrong?"

"..."

Seeing that Zhou Zhixi didn't say anything, but her face had already turned blue and white, Zhou's mother didn't intend to let her go, "Will you apologize to Tongtong like she did? You and I won't. We will only tell Tongtong to get better soon. We all stand on our own point of view, but forget about Tongtong..."

Zhou Zhixi remained silent.

My mother is worthy of being a professor of Chinese. She knows how to hit the nail on the head with every word.

That night, she couldn't sleep.

I lay in bed with my empty eyes open all night long until dawn.

So what does her success in the first half of her life have to do with Tongtong?

When Tongtong opened her eyes, the first thing she saw was this world. She wanted to embrace this world, but her genetic defect blocked her beautiful wish.

All she saw was an indifferent father and an out-of-control mother...

After not sleeping all night, Zhou Zhixi went downstairs with red and swollen eyes.

Downstairs, Tongtong had already gotten up, holding a paintbrush in his hand, and painting intently.

The little face is colorful, like a little cat.

Zhou Zhixi looked at her with deep eyes. If she had seen Tongtong like this in the past, she would have definitely said in a harsh tone, "Tongtong, you shouldn't make yourself so dirty."

But Ji Ning didn't do that. She just held the book in one hand and looked at the painting she had drawn from time to time.

Of course she was angry with Zhou Zhixi, but she was also a person who saw things through. She agreed with Zhou's mother that she would take care of the family for one month, and that was one month.

If you give up halfway, all the previous results of Tongtong will be wasted.

Zhou Zhixi was thinking about Tongtong last night, but now she saw Ji Ning tutoring Tongtong, she was still a little confused.

I can't figure out why Ji Ning is so devoted to Tongtong, is it to integrate into this family, or because...

Like her brother?

Zhou Zhixi's misty eyes immediately brightened up, and she clenched her left fist and pounded it on the palm of her right hand.

it is as expected!

After all, Zhou Jingmo is a pretty good-looking guy, except for his unpleasant mouth.

When she was in school before, she would find some candies and chocolates in her drawer out of nowhere. When those girls saw that Zhou Jingmo had no complaints, they would give all the good things to her.

At this time, Butler Li found Zhou Zhixi, "Miss."

"Shh-"

Zhou Zhixi put her finger on her lips and looked at Butler Zhou with some resentment. Then she looked downstairs and found that the two, one big and one small, had no reaction. Her expression then looked fine.

Butler Li looked at the eldest lady's clothes and was still wondering how she could hide it. She was going to work. The young lady and the young lady were in the living room on the first floor, which was the only way to the front door. How could she get around them?

My doubts grew even more when I saw Zhou Zhixi push herself up from the railing of the small balcony on the second floor and jump down skillfully.

"Big……"

Butler Li opened his mouth into an "O" and quickly ran to the railing to take a look.

In the field of vision, Zhou Zhixi seemed to have sprained her ankle. Her walking posture was a bit unnatural. She supported her waist with her hands and limped to work.

Butler Li: "..."

The Zhou family is really strong-willed throughout their lives.

…………

Zhou Zhixi just arrived at the hospital, "Hello, Doctor Zhou!"

"Hello, Dr. Zhou!"

Although the young nurses greeted her as usual, there was always something strange in their eyes. They glanced behind them while talking to her.

Zhou Zhixi looked calm on the surface, but she already knew what they were hinting at.

After taking two more steps forward, a woman's voice was heard, which was so sweet that it sounded like fever. Zhou Zhixi's brows couldn't stop twitching.

"Brother, your handwriting is really good, but why can't I understand these words? You need to teach me."

When she raised her eyes, she saw Chai Shijie, with his head lowered and his face pleasant, talking and laughing with Nurse Lu.

Sensing the stuffiness in the air, Chai Shijie immediately raised his head, restrained the smile on his face, and put his hands in the pockets of his white coat, looking a little embarrassed.

Lu Yan still had a smile on her face and looked at her with her head tilted, looking very arrogant.

Zhou Zhixi didn't even bother to glance at her, and said lightly, "Nurse Lu, you can't understand what I wrote even though it's so well-written. Are you illiterate?"

Lu Yan's smile suddenly froze.

Chai Shijie frowned, "Zhixi, don't talk like that. People don't understand. What if the patient is delayed?"

The corners of Lu Yan's mouth rose again, looking so fearless.

Chai Shijie pulled Zhou Zhixi aside, lowered his head, and whispered, "Zhixi, how have you thought about the thing I told you before?"

After saying that, he lowered his eyes and said, "You know, I don't mind, but it's very difficult for my mother. She has always wanted to have a grandson, and Tongtong is in this situation, so..."

Zhou Zhixi was startled, then bit her lip and said, "Tongtong is better now."

Chai Shijie looked unhappy.

He felt that this was her excuse. It had been several years, and besides, hadn't the doctor said there was no way?

Zhou Zhixi was a little annoyed, "If you don't believe me, you can go and see for yourself. How long has it been since you last saw Tongtong?"

Since sending Tongtong to her parents' house, Chai Shijie would come once a month at first, but now it is estimated that he has not come for half a year.

Chai Shijie sighed, "I have just been promoted to deputy director, and I have a lot of things to do. I thought you would understand."

"But you have time to talk to the nurse..."
