Chapter 549: Chapter 542: Outbreak in Full Force (Part 1)

Cheng Shishi’s final journey ended amidst the cries of Cheng Gang and Xia Lian. Bai Yiran stood quietly at the back, watching their tears, yet unable to move forward.

Because she knew that as soon as she moved forward, it would surely prompt a strong reaction from Xia Lian, making Shishi’s departure uneasy.

To ensure Cheng Shishi’s final journey could be taken smoothly, Bai Yiran chose to stand in a place where Xia Lian wouldn’t be provoked.

Throughout the whole event, Leng Yichen held Bai Yiran’s hand, providing her with comfort and strength.

Bai Yiran thought, how fortunate she was to have Leng Yichen by her side this whole time; otherwise, she wouldn’t have been able to hold on.

During the day, she had to deal with the matters of Cheng Shishi’s funeral, and at night she had to smile at her grandmother as if nothing was wrong.

This was a torture for Bai Yiran; she began to suffer from insomnia, spending every evening on the treadmill.

Since she was still producing milk, she couldn’t run, only walk quickly.

Even so, she could spend two to three whole hours on the treadmill, only becoming tired enough to feel sleepy.

Then, she had to gather her spirits again the next morning to face everything.

Leng Yichen had no solution for Bai Yiran’s state. As she was breastfeeding, he couldn’t give her sleeping pills. After consulting Qiao Jie, Qiao Jie said that exercise could relieve Bai Yiran’s stress and serve as a method of self-healing. Leng Yichen could only let Bai Yiran exhaust her body and ensure she rested more during the day, taking over everything he could.

But even with this, the weight Bai Yiran gained from giving birth melted away at a shocking rate within these few days.

Despite the pain, life had to go on; time was the best remedy for dissolving sorrow.

In the blink of an eye, Xiao Xi was already three months old, a particularly adorable time. Her glistening big eyes seemed to be able to speak, and she loved to laugh. Just a slight tease made her chuckle heartily.

Because of Xiao Xi, Bai Yiran seemed to have become brighter. Every day she did almost nothing but accompany Xiao Xi and Xiao Lang.

Yao Zhiqing called more than once to inquire if Bai Yiran could end her maternity leave early, but Bai Yiran didn’t give a direct answer.

In the past, Bai Yiran might have pushed herself into a workaholic state and returned to work as soon as possible.

However, ever since Cheng Shishi’s incident, Bai Yiran felt resistant to going back to work at Yao Zhiqing’s company because Wu Chengzu’s company was downstairs, and returning would inevitably mean encountering Wu Chengzu.

Bai Yiran didn’t want to do this; she felt it would be a betrayal to Cheng Shishi.

During this period, her uncle and aunt essentially stopped associating with Bai Yiran. Even when her grandmother occasionally missed them and asked them to visit, they merely made excuses and avoided coming to Bai Yiran’s home.

Whenever this happened, her grandmother would curse her uncle’s family for being heartless, uncaring about her as their old mother!

But Bai Yiran knew the truth. Her uncle and aunt were merely avoiding - avoiding her grandmother’s inquiries about Cheng Shishi and avoiding Bai Yiran, their niece.

Leng Liewei grew more fond of Xiao Xi, frequently finding various reasons to visit the house and see Xiao Xi. Recently, he even set up a baby playground for Xiao Xi in the garden of the Leng Mansion, clamoring for Bai Yiran to bring Xiao Xi over to explore.

Helplessly, Bai Yiran had to take Xiao Xi to the Leng Mansion.

Upon entering, she saw Luna, looking as though she had swallowed a fly, but Bai Yiran ignored her and carried Xiao Xi inside.
