âBefore I was six years old, I almost never experienced fatherly love. It wasnât until I met him that I became a child with a father who loved me. I know his condition isnât serious, but Iâm just very scaredâ¦â Ji Yuanyuan said in a trembling voice.
Even though she was no longer a child, even though she was a medical student, she was still afraid.
Qin Mucheng lowered his head and kissed her forehead gently, âI understand. When I was young, there was a period of time when Grandpaâs health wasnât too good. At that time, I was the same as you. However, after so many years, Grandpa was still healthy. Uncle must also be able to turn misfortune into fortune.â
Hearing Qin Muchengâs words, Ji Yuanyuan felt much more at ease.
âUncle and Auntie havenât eaten yet, right? Letâs go pack some food first. Letâs go to my house. Iâll get Auntie Wu to start cooking now.â Qin Mucheng whispered.
Ji Yuanyuan hesitated for a moment before nodding.
When Qin Mucheng heard that, he immediately called home.
He didnât say who the takeaway was for but asked Auntie Wu to make some light dishes.
The results of the examination were not out yet, and the treatment plan had not been decided yet.
Ji Yuanyuan did not want everyone to know about it, so she did not let Qin Mucheng and his family know about it.
Qin Mucheng drove Ji Yuanyuan to the entrance of the Qin residence and waited for a while before Aunt Wu finished cooking.
The two of them carried the food to the hospital, where Ji Zixuan was there as well.
Aunt Wu didnât pack much food. Seeing this, Li Xu said, âAll of you, hurry up and go back. Iâll stay here tonight to accompany him. Donât worry.â
âWhy donât I accompany him?â Ji Zixuan hesitated. âYou can go home and sleep.â
When Li Xu heard this, she forced a smile and said, âItâs not like your dad canât move now. He doesnât need anyone to help him eat, drink, or pee. Iâm just accompanying him to talk. It wonât tire me out.â
Ji Zixuan thought for a while before giving up. âI have applied for a leave with Teacher Geng. I will come over tomorrow morning to accompany Dad for a checkup.â
âIâll come with Big Brother,â Ji Yuanyuan said.
âIâll pick you up tomorrow morning.â Qin Mucheng quickly said.
Li Xu waved her hand, âThereâs no need for so many people. We have hands and feet. Canât we even do a check-up? Since Zixuan had taken leave, then come over. Yuanyuan and Mucheng, donât come over. Weâll talk about it when the results are out.â
Ji Yuanyuan still wanted to say something, but Li Xuâs face darkened, âBe obedient! Donât delay class.â
Ji Yuanyuan swallowed her words. Li Xu looked at Qin Mucheng again, âAlthough itâs your own company, youâre at the bottom level now. You have to perform well. When you become the boss, your employees will respect you.â
Qin Mucheng had no choice but to agree, âThen, Auntie, Iâll come to see you after work tomorrow.â
Li Xu waved her hand, âThereâs no food for you here. Hurry up and go out to eat.â
Ji Yuanyuan and the other two had no choice but to leave.
Once they were out of the hospital, Ji Yuanyuan asked, âWhat did Sister Weiwei say? Is she angry?â
He shook his head, âNo, sheâs very worried about our father. She said that weâll talk about the engagement when he recovers.â
âItâs good that sheâs not angry. No one expected such a thing to happen.â Ji Yuanyuan whispered.
Ji Zixuan sighed and said, âYou two stay a little longer. Iâll go home first.â
âDo you want me to send you?â Qin Mucheng asked hurriedly.
He waved his hand, âI drove here.â
Only then did Qin Mucheng give up. He looked at Ji Yuanyuan after Ji Zixuan left, âWhat do you want to eat?â
Ji Yuanyuan was exhausted and did not want to eat anything.
âDonât you have an apartment near your company?â she asked in a low voice. âCan I go to your place for a while?â
After Qin Mucheng went to work, Cheng Shuqin felt sorry for him for always working overtime, so she bought him an apartment near the company.
After all, he was different from Qin Haowen.
No matter how late Qin Haowen worked, he still had a driver to send him home.
However, since Qin Mucheng started from the bottom, it was not appropriate for his identity to be exposed.
He had to work overtime until midnight and drive home by himself.
Cheng Shuqin was afraid it would be unsafe for him to drive at night, so she asked him to stay in the apartment during his overtime days.
âAlright, there seems to be some food in the fridge. Iâll make something for you.â Qin Mucheng touched her face with heartache.
Ji Yuanyuan leaned on Qin Muchengâs shoulder and exhaled slowly.
The two of them drove to Qin Muchengâs small apartment.
The apartment was a small two-story penthouse. The area was not big. The two floors added up to about 100 meters.
Living alone was just right.
After they entered, Qin Mucheng asked in a low voice, âDo you want to sleep for a while? When Iâm done, will I wake you up?â
âAlright.â Ji Yuanyuan nodded weakly.
Qin Mucheng led Yuanyuan up to the second floor and opened the door to one of the rooms. He whispered, âCall me if you need anything. I can hear you downstairs.â
Ji Yuanyuan did not say anything. She took a few steps forward and laid down on Qin Muchengâs bed.
Qin Mucheng could not help but laugh. He squatted down and took the slippers off Ji Yuanyuanâs feet.
He stood up again, intending to carry Ji Yuanyuan up and adjust her position.
However, when he was hugging her, Ji Yuanyuan suddenly moved.
He tilted forward and instantly fell onto Ji Yuanyuanâs body.
Ji Yuanyuan groaned under the pressure. Qin Mucheng asked with heartache, âHow are you?â
As he asked, he was about to get up from Ji Yuanyuanâs body.
However, Ji Yuanyuan suddenly reached out and hugged Qin Muchengâs body.
âBig Brother Mucheng, donât go!â Ji Yuanyuan muttered,
Qin Muchengâs entire body stiffened. He then used his hands to prop himself up, trying his best not to touch Ji Yuanyuan.
âIâm not hungry. Can you wait for me to fall asleep before going down?â Ji Yuanyuan did not seem to notice Qin Muchengâs uneasiness and asked softly.
Qin Mucheng did not dare to look down at her and only dared to look at her hair.
âI⦠Okay!â He wanted to reject her, but he couldnât help but say yes.
Only then did Ji Yuanyuan let go of him. Qin Mucheng saw this and carried her up. After adjusting her position, he lay down beside her.
He had just laid down when Ji Yuanyuan automatically burrowed into his arms and closed her eyes.
Qin Mucheng lowered his head and looked at her. He smiled bitterly.
This girl really did not treat him as a man.
Ji Yuanyuan opened her eyes again. Qin Mucheng quickly shifted his gaze away and asked softly, âWhatâs wrong?â
Ji Yuanyuan got up and held Qin Muchengâs hand. She laid it flat on the bed and used it as a pillow.
Then, she pulled Qin Muchengâs other hand to hugged her.
After adjusting her posture, Ji Yuanyuan sighed in satisfaction.
A moment later, she sniffed and asked lazily, âBig Brother Mucheng, thereâs your smell.â
Qin Mucheng sniffed in surprise, âWhatâs that smell?â
âI canât tell. Itâs fragrant and smells very good.â Ji Yuanyuan leaned closer to him and sniffed hard before saying.
Qin Muchengâs body froze again..
