Mr. CEO Has a Crush on Me-Chapter 1376: Youyou’s Longing

Lu Wanwan quickly followed him into the elevator.

"There’s nothing major on my end, Arthur will help me handle certain things," Gu Annan explained. "As for some of the permissions due to the wedding, my parents are planning to return to Manchester soon, within these few days. If anything important arises at Gu Corporation, my father can handle it."

Lu Wanwan looked at him, her urgency and tension slightly eased.

Upon hearing about Xie Liancheng’s sudden collapse, her heart was particularly pained and anxious.

After all, this was her real father, one of the few relatives she had left.

Having a terminal illness was like a ticking time bomb, and those so-called three years weren’t guaranteed by any doctor.

Any small incident along the way could lead to that dreadful outcome.

"Don’t worry, the medical facilities there are world-class, and the doctors consulting him are the best in the United States. Dr. Song is also in the United States and will do his utmost to save him. This is all we can do," he said softly, word by word.

Lu Wanwan buried her head into his chest, leaning closely against him, hugging tightly.

"I know, I’m just a little scared."

Afraid of witnessing a loved one’s passing, especially dreading the hospital, it was too distressing.

Whether it was her mother or grandmother, they were pains she couldn’t forget.

Although she and Xie Liancheng had only recently reunited, she had long been aware of his health condition.

But she really wanted to learn more about this person in his final days.

When it was time to board the plane, Lu Wanwan suddenly remembered, "It’s Friday, when Momo and Youyou finish school."

"I’ve already arranged for Mu Xing to pick them up," Gu Annan draped a blanket over her, "Don’t forget you’re pregnant, get some rest now, and try to sleep on the plane."

Lu Wanwan held a cup of hot water and nodded earnestly, "I know. I’ll sleep now and try to rest as much as possible, so I’ll have the energy when I arrive."

She took a deep breath, wrapped the blanket snugly around herself, leaned against Gu Annan, and closed her eyes.

Sleep, I have to fall asleep quickly.

It was school pick-up time again, and Momo looked at the text message, eyes full of worry.

Grandfather was sick, and he really wanted to go see him.

But Daddy and Mommy had already left, and he couldn’t sneak over there by himself, could he?

Should he do this or not?

The small figure sped downstairs.

Looking up, Momo saw his sister with a beaming smile, eyes curved into crescents.

"Great, brother! Finally, the time when Daddy and Mommy come to pick us up has arrived."

Youyou always hoped they could pick her up, so it would prove she was a child loved by her parents.

Momo sighed, forget it, I’ll just stay with sister this time.

"Umm... it’s like this." Momo hesitated to tell her the truth.

Since kindergarten, because they didn’t have a Daddy, they never experienced being picked up by both Daddy and Mommy together.

And Mommy, due to her busy work, also couldn’t personally pick them up often.

After arriving here, being sent to the United Kingdom, they still couldn’t be with Daddy and Mommy.

That’s why Youyou’s wish was rarely realized.

"Come on, come on!" She eagerly urged her brother, pulling Mengmeng with her other hand towards the school gate, "Daddy and Mommy will definitely take us to eat something delicious."

Momo watched her cheerful and excited silhouette and sighed.

"What’s happened again?" Shen Lingfeng descended slowly from the stairs.
