The Cunning CEO's Contract Wife

Chapter 377 It’s not your fault

Huang Xiaolu looked down at Niannian, who looked uncomfortable in her arms, gritted her teeth, helped her hold the thermometer, and turned to go downstairs to pay the bill.

"Give me the child, I'll hold him for you."

A young nurse stood in front of the deer and reached out her hand.

Xiao Lu was taken aback. She felt that the person in front of her looked somewhat familiar, but she couldn't remember who it was.

She glanced at the time, a hint of conflict flashing in her eyes.

"Don't worry, I'll be waiting for you here."

Without a word, the nurse took Niannian from Xiaolu's arms and urged her to hurry up and pay the fee. Her voice sounded a little hoarse.

Xiao Lu, having never had a child of her own, could only suppress her doubts upon hearing this, and turned to run downstairs, completely unaware of the triumphant smile in the nurse's eyes behind her.

Seeing that the little deer's figure had completely disappeared, the "little nurse" who was holding Niannian pulled off the mask on her face.

"You silly girl, blame that little deer for being so stupid."

"It's ridiculous that someone would entrust you to the care of a complete stranger in such an unfamiliar place."

Ye Chuchu reached out and pinched Niannian's cheek, her eyes crinkling into a smile. She then roughly picked her up and turned to leave.

When Xiaolu finally managed to sort things out and go upstairs, she found the waiting room completely empty.

"Every year?"

Xiao Lu's heart, which had not yet calmed down, started pounding again, and she cried out in a panicked voice in the waiting room.

"Nian Nian? Nian Nian, where are you? Is there a doctor here?"

It was already the middle of the night, and when Xiaolu shouted like that, all the doctors in the break room came out looking annoyed.

"Patient, this is a hospital. Please don't make a lot of noise, okay?"

"Besides you, there are many other patients here. You have really influenced a lot of people."

The little deer's eyes were red, and she stammered as she tried to explain.

"A nurse just helped me hold my baby, but now they're gone, boohoo..."

After hearing Xiaolu's tearful explanation, everyone roughly understood. They exchanged glances, a hint of wariness appearing in their eyes.

There are only a few people on duty each night.

They can assure you that all of their doctors were together just now, so how could they possibly come out to help hold other people's babies?

"Do you have CCTV here? I'm looking for my child, sob sob, I have to find her!"

Tears streamed down Xiaolu's face as she cried and dialed Lin Ran's number on her phone.

Originally, she didn't want to cause trouble, but now that such a big thing has happened, how could she dare to keep it from Lin Ran?

"There are surveillance cameras. Come with us."

Faced with such a serious incident, the doctors immediately became serious. They split into two groups: one group took Xiaolu to the monitoring room, while the other group went to the entrance to see if they could stop the person.

Ye Chuchu may not have known that the hospital had surveillance cameras, or she may not have cared at all whether she was being filmed or not. The entire process of her taking off her mask was recorded.

As Xiao Lu watched Ye Chuchu carrying Niannian away on the screen, her legs went weak, and she collapsed to the ground.

"You know her? The child should be alright, right?"

The nurse beside her breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing the little deer's appearance, but at the same time became worried about the child.

If they knew each other, then whatever happened would have nothing to do with the hospital. But seeing Xiaolu looking like she was about to collapse, they felt sorry for her.

"Sorry, I'm leaving first."

Xiao Lu silently wiped away her tears and told Lin Ran the news.

Ultimately, Niannian was taken away because of her negligence, and she bears inescapable responsibility.

No matter what, she has to bring Nian Nian back intact.

On the other side, Lin Ran kept urging the driver to drive faster. At the same time, her phone beeped with two message notifications. After reading them, her face turned even paler.

One of the messages was from Xiaolu: "It was Ye Chuchu who took Niannian away."

The other one was sent to her by Ye Chuchu.

“Your wretched girl is in my hands. If you want her to live, she’ll have to come to the warehouse near Redstone Mountain alone.”

"Don't call the police, and don't try to tell Brother Jingchen about this. You know I'm ruthless, and I might do something crazy."

The driver glanced at Lin Ran's face in the rearview mirror and immediately panicked.

"I said, is there something urgent that you need to go to the hospital? You don't look well. Are you sure you're okay?"

Lin Ran took a few deep breaths to calm herself down a bit. She stared at her phone for a long time, her hands clenching tightly until the veins on the back of her hands bulged.

Seeing that she was unwilling to talk, the driver silently shut his mouth as well, but drove faster, and soon arrived at their destination.

Outside the hospital, Xiao Lu had been standing there waiting for a long time. When she saw Lin Ran coming over, the tears she had been holding back for so long fell again.

"Ranran, I'm sorry, I'm so sorry, it's all my fault."

Lin Ran sighed helplessly as she looked at her. She knew that none of this had anything to do with Xiao Lu.

Ye Chuchu was the one who started it all, so of course she wouldn't throw a tantrum.

She took a deep breath, suppressed her frustration, and reached out to hug the little deer.

"Okay, don't worry."

Since Ye Chuchu took Niannian away like this, it means that Niannian is still very useful to her, at least for the time being, she will not be in danger.

“But Niannian is still so young, and she still has a fever. If I had called you earlier, none of this would have happened.”

Xiao Lu's face was always flushed red, and her unease grew stronger.

"No, Ye Chuchu really wants me. You should go back. I'll handle these things."

"Don't tell anyone about this, okay?"

After a pause, Lin Ran continued to give instructions, still somewhat worried.

Ye Chuchu was right. She knew her very well, so she knew that if Nian Nian found out about this and others found out, she would probably be in real danger...

"But Ranran, are you really sure you'll be alright?"

Seeing Lin Ran's expression, Xiao Lu instantly understood what was going on, and her voice trembled slightly as she spoke.

But seeing her determined gaze, he suddenly sighed deeply and nodded solemnly.

"Don't worry, I will take good care of Sui Sui. I won't make the same mistake again."

Knowing there was no point in staying, Xiaolu could only leave the hospital by car, looking back every few steps.
