âI know youâre busy at the company because of Dadâs accident. Itâs fine here You can go and do your work.â After Ji Yuanyuan finished speaking, she picked up her chopsticks and started eating the noodles.
Qin Mucheng and Ji Zixuan looked at her with complicated expressions. After a few bites, Ji Yuanyuan noticed the strange looks in their eyes. âWhatâs wrong?â she asked curiously.
âWhich Dad are you talking about?â Qin Mucheng asked.
âYour father, some time ago⦠Didnât he have a stroke?â At first, Ji Yuanyuan was still full of confidence. However, when she saw Qin Muchengâs expression, her tone gradually became uncertain.
Could it be that there was really something wrong with her memory? âYuanyuan, what nonsense are you spouting!â Ji Zixuan opened his mouth âUncle Qin, heâ¦â
As his son, Qin Mucheng, would definitely feel uncomfortable hearing Ji Yuanyuanâs words.
However, before he could finish speaking, Qin Mucheng raised his hand and signaled him to stop.
He could only shut his mouth, but his heart was filled with anxiety and doubt. Her head was injured, and her memory had problems. She couldnât possibly have something that had never happened out of thin air, right?
He thought that he would at most lose a portion of his memory, but now it seemed that things were more troublesome.
Ji Yuanyuan put down his chopsticks cautiously. âIsnât it?â
She looked up and saw Qin Mucheng staring at her. She felt a little shy.
She lowered her head and looked at the noodles in front of her uncomfortably. Qin Mucheng sighed silently in his heart. He reached out to pick up the chopsticks and passed them to Ji Yuanyuan. âLetâs eat first. Weâll talk after we finish eating.â
It was already past seven in the evening. She must be hungry.
When Qin Mucheng passed the chopsticks to Ji Yuanyuan, his hand inevitably touched hers.
The moment their fingers touched, Ji Yuanyuanâs face turned red.
Ji Zixuan stared at Ji Yuanyuan with a grave expression.
It was very quiet in the ward when they were eating.
The three of them had their own thoughts, and no one spoke. After dinner, he packed up the boxes and went outside to throw the trash. Qin Mucheng looked at his watch. It was already eight oâclock.
âAre you tired?â he asked in a low voice as he saw Ji Yuanyuanâs tired expression.
It s alright.â Ji Yuanyuan secretly looked up at Qin Mucheng and quickly lowered her head.
Looking closely, you could see that her ears were red.
Qin Muchengâs hand, which was about to reach out, stopped.
Although they had been married for many years, at that moment, they still felt like they had just fallen in love.
âDO you want to watch TV for a while? Or play with your phone?â Qin Mucheng asked considerately.
âThe phone.â Ji Yuanyuan hesitated for a moment before making his choice. Qin Mucheng stood up, took out her phone from Ji Yuanyuanâs bag, and handed it to him.
Just as she handed it over, Qin Muchengâs phone in his pocket rang.
It was Cheng Shuqin.
After Ji Yuanyuan finished his first check-up, he had already given his family a hug.
âHowâs Yuanyuan feeling?â Cheng Shuqin asked wrriedly.
âItâs alright.â Qin Mucheng glanced at Ji Yuanyuan before turning around and leaving the room.
âHowâs Tangtang?â he asked when he was outside the ward.
She was still arguing with her mother in the morning.
âShe cried for a while just now. Now that sheâs coaxed, she wants to talk to you for a while.â
After she finished speaking, Cheng Shuqinâs voice became distant. She must have passed the phone to Tangtang. âItâs Daddy. Do you want to talk to Daddy?â The next second, Qin Mucheng heard his daughterâs crisp voice. âWhen are you coming back?â
âIâll be back at this time tomorrow. Be good at home and listen to Grandpa and Grandma, okay?â
âYes, I know. Iâll definitely be obedient. That⦠Are you coming back by yourself tomorrow?â
The child was a little scheming, but not much.
She must have wanted to ask her mother when she was coming home, but she still remembered that she was at odds with her mother and was waiting for Ji Yuanyuan to coax her, so she was too embarrassed to ask directly.
Qin Muchengâs mood was almost immediately cured by his daughter.
âNo, Daddy will go home with Mommy tomorrow,â he said in a gentler voice.
âOh, I donât want to know.â Tangtang returned the phone to Cheng Shuqin
âGrandma, you can talk to Daddy. Iâm going to watch cartoons.â
Cheng Shuqin took the phone from him. Qin Mucheng could not help but say, âGirls are indeed two-faced from a young age.â.
âNonsense,â Cheng Shuqin laughed.
âBut, Momâ¦â Qin Mucheng sounded hesitant.
He was afraid that if he told them, his parents would be so worried that they wouldnât be able to sleep well at night.
However, he was afraid that if she didnât say anything, his parents and grandfather wouldnât be able to accept it when she returned home tomorrow. âWhat?â Cheng Shuqin became nervous again when she heard Qin Muchengâs hesitation.
âAlthough Yuanyuan is fine, she hit her head, and her memory is a little chaotic.â
After listening to Qin Mucheng nervously, Cheng Shuqin heaved a sigh of relief. âYou scared me to death. I thought it was something big. What was the big deal about having a memory disorder? As long as she is fine.â
Qin Mucheng was silent for a few seconds. âOkay, then you should rest early.â After hanging up the phone, Qin Mucheng turned around and realized that Ji Zixuan was standing not far away.
He stood by the window with his head lowered, looking dispirited. No one knew what he was thinking.
He did not look like Ji Zixuan but more like Ji Ziâang.
Ji Zixuan looked up at Qin Mucheng, probably because he heard no sound.
âI havenât told my family about Yuanyuanâs injury.â
At first, she was too flustered to remember. Later, he found out that Yuanyuan was fine.
Ziâang had just gotten engaged, so he was happy.
If he told him now, he would definitely blame himself.
He had finally walked out of the shadow of the past with incredible difficulty.
He could not let him have a shadow of his feelings again.
Qin Mucheng nodded. âLetâs observe her for two days first. If Yuanyuan recovers very soon, we donât have to tell Dad and Mom. If it doesnât get better, Iâll have to trouble Dad and Mom to come back.â
Ji Zixuan nodded and hesitated. âShall I go to the hotel tonight?â
âYes, Iâll keep watch.â
The two of them reached a consensus, and Ji Zixuan peeked through the glass.
She saw Ji Yuanyuan holding her phone and frowning. No one knew what she was thinking.
Ji Zixuan left in relief.
Qin Mucheng adjusted his mood outside the door before entering the ward.
Ji Yuanyuan raised her head and looked over. Her brows were furrowed. âI tried
a few commonly used passwords. Why are they all wrong?â
Qin Muchengâs expression remained the same. â0112, try this.â
Ji Yuanyuan lowered her head in doubt and entered the number on her phone.
She widened her eyes. âWhatâs this number?â
âItâs our daughterâs birthday.â
âWhat? We have a child?â
