Chapter 53: Chapter 53: The Child Will Become an Idiot upon Awakening
Ji Muye’s gaze had been fixed on the two children the whole time. Seeing the solemnity on Lu Xining’s face, worry and tension ebbed and flowed deep within him.
He was not annoyed by the sarcasm in Lu Xining’s words. With concern in his eyes, he asked her, “Are Xiao Chao and Xiao Ze alright?”
Lu Xining looked at him as he grasped her hand. The warm touch came from his palm. She lowered her eyes and spoke abruptly.
“If you keep blocking me, there will be trouble.”
The man’s dark eyes narrowed, his gaze falling onto the helicopter.
This was a plane specially used by ZN Laboratory to transport patients.
It had many privileges.
Lu Xining’s ability to mobilize this helicopter had taken him by surprise.
Ji Muye’s grip on her wrist was light, but he did not loosen his hold following her words.
He spoke in a deep voice, “I’m the father of the children. You can’t exclude me every time, Xining. I love the two children as much as you do.”
Ji Muye took a step forward, looking down at her, “Either leave the children, or I’ll go with you.”
In the night, the sound of the helicopter was very loud.
Lu Xining hesitated for a few seconds but eventually decided to go to the ZN Laboratory with Ji Muye for the children’s sake.

Before boarding, she looked back at Monkey in the moonlight.
He nodded.
Ji Muye took all of this in, a cold gleam crossing his profound eyes. His lips pressed tightly together as he held Ji Ze close to his chest.
The black car behind the Maybach.
Liu Xixi, seeing the child in Lu Xining’s arms, felt a surge of anger well up inside her: what a bunch of useless people!
Lu Xining, holding Ji Chao, sat beside him. Right before the cabin door closed, Liu Xixi, crying, ran over.
She deliberately didn’t wear a coat, trying to influence Ji Muye’s emotions with her frailty and weakness.
Little did she know, in her half-night white dress and pale face, she looked like a ghastly spirit crawled out of hell.
Far from pitiable.
Lu Xining, watching Liu Xixi fall to the ground, said quietly to the man beside her, “Your Xixi has fallen. Aren’t you going to help her up?”
Ji Muye gave her a brief, indifferent look, “You clearly don’t want me to help her. Why say such things that make both of us uncomfortable?”
Lu Xining: “…”
Ji Muye pulled over a blanket and covered Ji Chao and Ji Ze.
Because they were holding the children, it also inadvertently brought the distance between them much closer.
The cool masculine scent approached her.
Lu Xining’s body stiffened slightly, she subtly shifted to the side, but the man saw her every tiny move.
His eyes darkened, his black gaze was like the pitch-black night outside the window, making his handsome face even more striking.
Ji Muye’s eyes settled on her tired eyes, the words on the tip of his tongue swallowed back down. Silent genes slowly moved through the cabin interior.
The helicopter left the ground.
The people below grew smaller and smaller.
Lu Xining stole a glance at the man closing his eyes beside her. Holding Ji Chao tightly in her arms, she too closed her eyes to rest.
Having rushed back to Jingzhou from Country C during the day and now flying to ZN Laboratory, the previous night’s surgery and today’s travel deepened the exhaustion under her eyes.
Lu Xining couldn’t help but close her eyes and fall asleep.
But her hand
always held her son tightly.
The helicopter quickly transported them to the nearest airport, where ZN Laboratory’s medical plane was already waiting.
Time ticked by.
Until it was nearly dawn at the laboratory in Country C.
The unconscious Ji Chao and Ji Ze slowly awoke, nestled in the arms of Lu Xining and Ji Muye, their spirits drooping, and their bodies lacking strength.
The assistant had already received the message from Monkey.
The medical team and a stretcher rushed over in haste.
“Miss Lu, Professor Lu has received your message and sent us to pick up the two young friends. Rest assured, we will do our utmost.”
Lu Xining nodded, placed Ji Chao on the bed to her left, and Ji Ze was put on another bed by Ji Muye.
The two children were quickly taken in for examination.
The assistant glanced at the man, then said to Lu Xining in front of him, “Miss Lu, the professor would like to see you in his office.”
Lu Xining nodded and followed her out.
Ji Muye remained outside the examination room.
Lu Xining, now changed into her clothes, personally examined the two children.
Everyone was familiar with Ji Chao and Ji Ze.
After all, the children had just left here not long ago, and unexpectedly, they were back so soon.
“Professor Lu, we have the children’s medication data!”
“It’s the latest dementia drug developed in America.”
Hearing this, her beautiful face was instantly covered with frost.
Lu Xining looked at the data in her hands, crumpling the paper unconsciously.
Ji Muye watched Lu Xining return from another direction, her complexion poor, the dark circles under her eyes seemingly more severe.
At that moment, the door of the examination room opened from the inside.
Someone came out and told him the results of the children’s examinations.
“It’s the American dementia drug…”
“Even a trace amount could harm the children’s brains.”
“If the children had been brought in any later, they would have woken up mentally disabled.”
Ji Muye’s dark pupils abruptly froze, the gloom in his eyes growing dense.
He glanced at Lu Xining by his side, no surprise in his eyes, clearly already aware of the children’s condition.
Ji Chao and Ji Ze were taken to a private room.
Lu Xining sat by the bed, her eyes filled with pain and regret. After staying with them for a while, she called Ji Muye out.
She handed over the recording of Han Lijuan to Ji Muye to listen to.
Upon hearing that this incident was related to the Liu Family and Liu Xixi, her long eyelashes cast a faint shadow in the bright lights above.
Ji Muye’s voice was cool and detached, “I will have someone look into this.”
Lu Xining sent the recording directly to his email, without speaking ill of the Liu Family or Liu Xixi.
Her expression was indifferent, seemingly unsurprised by any decision Ji Muye might make, and without expectation.
“There’s a rest room next door. You can go and rest.”
Lu Xining passed by him, and he grasped her arm, his voice low and magnetic, but slightly husky.
“Where are you going?”
“Back to the room.”
“You go rest. I’ll stay with the kids.”
“…”
In the end, both of them stayed in the room with the children.
She leaned on the sofa in the room to rest, eyes closed, while the man sat in the attendant’s chair by the bed, his face expressionless.
After a long while, Ji Muye looked back.
The woman reclining on the sofa had fallen into a deep sleep.
He got up, walked over to her, lifted her gently, laid her flat on the sofa, and covered her with a blanket from nearby.
Lu Xining furrowed her brow slightly, shifted a little, and fell asleep again.
Ji Muye’s gaze was downcast. He stood by the sofa in silence, watching her for a long time, all his emotions hidden beneath his lashes.
After a moment, he slowly squatted down…
When Lu Xining opened her eyes, Ji Muye was nowhere to be seen.
She checked on Ji Chao and Ji Ze, their complexions had recovered, and they should wake up shortly.
Lu Xining glanced at her watch; it was almost lunchtime.
She waited a while for Ji Muye’s return but, seeing no sign of him, decided to go back to the rest room upstairs to change her clothes before coming down again.
Lu Xining contacted her assistant to come over, only to receive some unexpected news.
