“Did you have a fortuitous encounter? You said he didn’t want you to compensate for hitting his car and damaging a taillight. Has he taken a liking to you?” Zhao Xiaoxiao wanted to ask Song Ruyi what had happened when she and her daughter went out earlier.

Now that Song Ruyi seemed more willing to explain, Zhao Xiaoxiao naturally had to ask.

She had always felt that Song Ruyi was a good woman who had no choice but to be a single mother. A wise man with a good eye should quickly bring her home.

Wanwan was also a considerate and sensible child. If the man helped Song Ruyi raise Wanwan, she would definitely be filial to him in the future.

If their financial conditions were okay, once Wanwan was older, they could still have another child that belonged to them.

How good would their life be?

Song Ruyi was speechless. “Sister Xiaoxiao, don’t joke with me.”

After having Wanwan, Song Ruyi did not think about getting married again.

She only wanted to give all her love to Wanwan.

This was to make up for the debt that she would never be able to return Wanwan’s biological father to her.

“Why am I joking with you? I’m being serious with you. You’re only 25 years old. Don’t tell me you’re going to be a widow with your child for the rest of your life. In this day and age, no one sets up a memorial for a widowed woman.”

Zhao Xiaoxiao pursed her lips. Nowadays, society was more humane. No one still encouraged women to remain widowed.

Song Ruyi smiled. “It’s enough that I have Wanwan. I don’t want others to disturb our lives anymore.”

Zhao Xiaoxiao knew that Song Ruyi really doted on her daughter, thus it would not be easy to ask her to think more for herself. She had given all her love to her daughter, and it seemed that motherly love was more important than self-love.

As such, Zhao Xiaoxiao could only slowly talk to Song Ruyi about it so that she would slowly understand that a woman still needed to know how to love herself more.

“Alright, it’s enough that you have Wanwan. I won’t talk about this anymore. If you’re treating that person to dinner tonight, will you bring Wanwan there?”

“No, I’ll bring her back later and hand her over to my little cousin.” Song Ruyi was reminded that she still had to call her cousin.

Seeing that she had plans, Zhao Xiaoxiao did not take the initiative to take care of Wanwan.

“That’s good too. When Wanwan wakes up later, you can take her away.” After saying that, Zhao Xiaoxiao went to do her own things.

“Okay, thank you, Sister Xiaoxiao.”

“You’re welcome.” Zhao Xiaoxiao deliberately pulled a long face. It was not like they had just met, so there was no need to be so polite.

Song Ruyi quickly called her cousin, Chen Jing. Chen Jing was on the night shift last night. When Song Ruyi’s call came in, she was still dozing off.

When Song Ruyi heard Chen Jing’s sleepy voice, she was also a little speechless. “Oh my god, you’re still sleeping?”

“Oh my god, Big Sister, I was on the night shift last night. The flu has been rampant recently. Yesterday, many children went to the hospital to have their blood drawn. You have no idea. Just as I was just about to lie down last night, the doorbell rang. In the second half of the night, I didn’t have time to rest at all. I’m going crazy.”

Chen Jing complained.

Moreover, her mother had forced her to go on a blind date tonight. She was afraid that she would fall asleep during the blind date and be criticized by her mother. Of course, she had to catch up on her sleep.

Otherwise, her mother would say that she was insincere again.

“Thank you for your hard work,” Song Ruyi said.

All along, she had always believed that people who worked in the hospital, regardless of whether they were men or women, were not people. They were gods.

Men were gods, and women were goddesses.

Being a doctor was incomprehensible to Song Ruyi. She had never imagined majoring in medicine in her life.

“That’s not necessary. I like what I choose, so there’s nothing to complain about,” Chen Jing said with a chuckle.

She would only complain so openly in front of Song Ruyi. When she returned to work, she would naturally be on guard. She was not afraid of any hardships.

The two sisters had a good relationship because they were only born a few months apart. Song Ruyi was born in the spring while she was born in the summer during the summer holiday.

Every year, Chen Jing had the opportunity to stay at home and ask her parents to help her celebrate a grand birthday.

This was what Song Ruyi envied the most when she was young. Since she was born in April, it was not easy for her birthday to coincide with the weekends, unless she was extremely lucky that year.

When Song Ruyi was six, her parents divorced. She was raised by her mother, who was a white-robed angel. She had always lived in the dormitory provided by her mother’s unit, and the financial situation of her family had never been as good as Chen Jing’s.

Even when Song Ruyi’s birthday coincided with the weekends, her mother usually did not have time to celebrate her birthday because of work.

“Why are you looking for me, Big Sister? Tell me,” Chen Jing took the initiative to ask.

Song Ruyi felt a little embarrassed.

Even so, she was left with no choice today.

“Well, I have something to do tonight. I have to meet someone for dinner and talk about something. It’s not convenient to bring Wanwan with me. I’ll leave her with you for two hours, okay?”

Song Ruyi planned to finish the dinner in two hours at most.

Even if Lu Jingnan wanted to eat hotpot, two hours should be enough.

Chen Jing agreed readily. She had finished her night shift and would be on leave. Right now, she was afraid of being on leave alone. That worried old mother of hers was too anxious about her marriage.

Every time she took leave, there would certainly be a full schedule of blind dates for her.

“That’s great. Hurry up and send her over. I’ll get up right away to take a shower. At night, I’ll let Wanwan sleep with me, so you can rest well too. Anyway, I’m on leave tomorrow and the day after. I’ll help you take care of her for two days.”

Chen Jing was overjoyed.

Song Ruyi was very grateful. Although she rarely asked Chen Jing to help her take care of Wanwan, she always agreed whenever she asked her.

Her mother was dead, but her aunt, youngest aunt, and two uncles on her mother’s side treated her very well.

When Song Ruyi was in the emergency bay for confinement, her youngest aunt watched over her, and her two aunts took turns to take care of her.

It was these relatives who accompanied her through the most difficult days. At that time, her mother’s funeral was also handled by them.

Otherwise, she would be at a loss on her own.

“Thank you. Ask Wanwan later if she wants to stay with you for two days. I can’t decide for her now. I’ll go to the supermarket to buy some ingredients for you later. What do you want to eat?”

“That’s not necessary. I’ll bring Wanwan out to have fun. I’ll eat whatever she wants to eat later, so don’t worry about it.”

“Didn’t Auntie arrange a blind date for you? Will it affect…”

Song Ruyi was worried that Wanwan would affect Chen Jing’s blind date if she went over. Little did she know that Chen Jing was eager for her blind date to be affected.

“No, no. Big Sister, please, don’t bring up my sad matters. I’m up. Hurry up and send the little darling over.”

Chen Jing hung up the phone right after she finished talking.

After Song Ruyi had made the necessary arrangements, she went to the attic to see if her daughter had woken up yet.
