In fact, Yu Minglang asked Uncle Liu to bring up the topic of remarriage at the right time. If the atmosphere was good, he would try to probe Professor Liuâs thoughts and give hints that remarriage would be good for the child.
However, seeing Professor Liu lying on the bed looking frail, with the infusion plaster on her hand not yet torn off, Uncle Liu couldnât bring himself to say it. He feels that he doesnât have the qualifications to talk about fixing the broken family and causing her so much suffering.
âWhat did Gangdan ask you to do?â
âNothing⦠You just focus on getting better, donât worry. Iâll take care of our son for 3 days, and I wonât let him be in any danger.â After finishing, he left the room hastily as if someone was chasing him. As the door closed, they both felt depressed but helpless.
Yu Minglang wanted Xiao Qian to go with him, but she couldnât leave as the teacher was still in the hospital, and she had to stay overnight to keep her company.
âWhat time will you be heading into the mountains tomorrow morning?â Xiao Qian asked.
â6 oâclock, I need to get into the mountains and then set up the exam venue.â
The exam venue was in the mountains, and all the set-ups had to be checked one by one. It could be torturous to people, but safety had to be ensured to the maximum. The radio station would broadcast this special reality show recruitment event in its entirety.
The broadcast not only ensured viewership for the radio station but also served as a form of promotion for Ming Langâs company. His mental prowess was always amazing.
It was too early, there was no time for any mischief. Xiao Qian thought for a moment and asked again.
âWill you have time after the assessment?â It would be nice to have 2 or 3 hours, she wanted to spend more time with Xiao Qiang.
âNo, after the assessment, I have to take the qualified ones back to the company, and then itâs formal on-the-job training for them. Itâs going to be non-stop.â Yu Minglang answered through gritted teeth.
Why did time have to be so mischievous? When he returned to the company with the newcomers, he would have to deal with the shareholders again.
It was so difficult just to get a bite of meat, who did he offend?
Seeing Uncle Liu walk out of the inpatient department, Yu Minglang knew that he had to part with Xiao Qian. He was reluctant but had no choice, so he took the opportunity to take a few more glances at his beloved girl while Uncle Liu was still not close by.
âWhatâs wrong with Xiao Qian?â Uncle Liu came over and noticed that Xiao Qianâs expression was off.
It seemed like she was uncomfortable?
Yu Minglang glanced at Xiao Qian and said very seriously, âSheâs not feeling well outside. Female comrades always have various troubles.â
Xiao Qian really wanted to spit at him. The discomfort she had as a female comrade was because he had no shame⦠Bah!
This time they separated, it was estimated that they would not see each other again for a long time. Xiao Qian watched Yu Minglang leave with longing eyes, while Yu Minglang kept looking back with every step he took.
Little did they know that they would actually see each other again soon. There were always unexpected surprises waiting for them not far away. Life was always full of miracles, but thatâs another story.
Generally, Boss Qian wouldnât serve others, but if it was to keep her sick benefactorâs bed, she would make an exception.
It was late at night, and after Xiao Qian sent her last message to Yu Minglang, she set her alarm, turned off her phone, and went to bed. Professor Liu was already asleep in the other bed.
She and Xiao Qiang had spent more than three hours texting each other with no substantial content, just like all men and women in love, saying sweet nothings that made each other happy.
Xiao Qian got out of bed and covered her teacher with a blanket before going back to her own bed to sleep.
When Professor Liu woke up the next morning, Xiao Qian had already brought breakfast back.
âIâll go through the discharge procedures in a while. I have some business in the afternoon,â Professor Liu said while eating breakfast with Xiao Qian.
âIâve already called my class adviser, and your project will be put on hold for two days. You should rest and recuperate in the hospital during this time. Iâve asked the doctor, and you canât be overworked right now.â
âItâs not necessary. I know about my body.â
âYou know but still fainted? Heart disease is not a small matter. Stay here two more days for observation and a full-body check-up. If you go back now, thereâs no one at home anyway. Liu Li is taken into the mountains by Master.â
âReally took the child?â Professor Liu didnât think he was serious.
This old man has changed a lot. Itâs not something he would do; she thought he was just talking.
âYes, Minglang called me this morning. He will keep an eye on Master and Liu Li all the time, and he wonât let Liu Li be in danger. Teacher, people can change. Master has changed too. Why donât you give him a chance?â
âWhy do you always side with that old man when youâre my student?â Professor Liu glared at Xiao Qian.
âLook at you, your temper is so bad. Itâs no wonder you havenât made many friends over these years. You still need me to take care of you when youâre sickâ¦â
Professor Liuâs life seemed pathetic, as no one was there to keep her company.
âIf you donât want to stay, go back to school. Stop meddling in other peopleâs family affairs!â
Professor Liu had a big temper, and everyone was afraid of her, but Xiao Qian wasnât. This was called being spoiled.
âHow is it your family affair? Iâm also doing it for my fiancéâs safety!â
âWhat does it have to do with Yu Gangdan?â
âMy Gangdan is still in Masterâs hands. If heâs not in good condition, my Gangdan will be crushed. With a harmonious family, he can focus on the company. Look at how well Master is doing, even taking care of the child.â
Xiao Qian pushed the porridge into Professor Liuâs view, with the sticky porridge reflecting a scheming light.
âWho else will take care of his child if not him? Donât mention him in front of me! Iâll be discharged in a while. I have an appointment with a patient at noon.â Under Xiao Qianâs gaze, Professor Liu drank the bowl of plain porridge.
After eating, Professor Liu tidied up and was about to go through the discharge procedures when she saw Xiao Qian staring at her phone.
âSteel Cannon, what are you looking at? Waiting for a call?â
âNo, Iâm looking at the time. Itâs almost an hour.â Xiao Qian had been looking and felt that it was about time.
âAn hour of what?â Professor Liu didnât understand what she was talking about.
âThe medicine is about to take effect⦠Teacher, are you sleepy?â Xiao Qian asked with a smile.
As soon as Xiao Qian said it, Professor Liu really felt sleepy. Her eyelids were sticking together, making her feel like she had been staying up for a long time and could not open her eyes.
âA little bitâ¦â Strange, why was she so sleepy?
âWhy donât you lie down and rest for a while? Iâll go through the discharge procedures and come to wake you up when theyâre done.â
âAlright.â Professor Liu was really sleepy, and she thought she might not have gotten enough rest the night before.
Seeing the teacher lie down and fall asleep, Xiao Qian put away her phone, covered Professor Liu with a blanket, and looked very considerate and well-behaved.
âTeacher, a well-intentioned lie can be forgiven, so youâll forgive me for drugging you, right? If not, thereâs nothing I can do. The doctor said you need to rest for two more days.â
So, everything is for the teacherâs own good. Xiao Qian prayed silently, hoping that the hot-tempered teacher wouldnât wake up and slap her face all over. After all⦠she needed face too!
