novelUnable to Get the Man She Loved
| ← Ch.1115 | Ch.1117 → |
"The hurdle that Old Gu isn't able to overcome in his heart is Yun Liuli's father!"
"Which father wouldn't hope to see his daughter live in bliss?" Lin Nuan couldn't help but speak up for Yun Liuli."Even my Lin father, who isn't my birth father, said that nothing else matters so long as I'm happy. Do you feel that Xiao Liuli's father would hope to see his precious daughter unable to get the man she loves because of him?"
Fu Huai'an was never one who interfered in his pals' relationship matters, but since Lin Nuan asked, and since Fu Huai'an indeed felt that Yun Liuli and Gu Qingcheng were very suitable for each other, he nodded and caressed Lin Nuan's shoulders."Okay... later, I'll talk to Old Gu about it!"
Fu Huai'an lifted Lin Nuan up horizontally, frowning."You're much thinner these days. Is it because work is too tiring?"
"How is that the case? I grew much fatter after giving birth and am merely controlling my portion sizes now so that I look thinner and better on camera!" Lin Nuan smiled at Fu Huai'an.
"I think you looked the best a while ago!"
Fu Huai'an placed Lin Nuan on the bed and threatened in a low voice, "If I find out that Mrs. Fu is dieting again, I'll use another method to help you lose weight! You hear me?"
Lin Nuan's ears turned red. She bit her lip and punched Fu Huai'an's shoulder.
...
After staying in the hospital for over a week, the blood clot in Yun Liuli's skull had gradually dissipated. It wasn't big to begin with... so it had almost completely disappeared now.
But Yun Liuli's memory got stuck at seven years old. She would wake up every morning and ask Gu Qingcheng why her dad wasn't back yet.
That was until today. Yun Liuli no longer had the patience to continue staying in the hospital.
She negotiated with Gu Qingcheng."Uncle Qingcheng, can I return home? Even if Daddy isn't around... it'd be better at home than in the hospital!"
Gu Qingcheng gazed at Yun Liuli and was thinking of what to say to coax the young lady. That was when he saw her eyes redden, seemingly close to tears."I don't want to stay in the hospital any longer. I don't like the smell, and I don't feel free here!"
Gu Qingcheng was willing to indulge and spoil the "seven-year-old" Yun Liuli. He sat by Yun Liuli's bed, a gentle smile in his dark eyes."Why don't you go back to Uncle Qingcheng's home? I'm worried that there's nobody to take care of you at home..."
"Then, if I go to Uncle Qingcheng's home, will Uncle Qingcheng leave me all alone at home? Like Daddy... leave me alone in the care of the nanny?" Yun Liuli asked in a small voice.
"No, I won't..." Gu Qingcheng pinched Yun Liuli's petite face and laughed lightly."Uncle Qingcheng will be by your side all the while! Until you're fully recovered, I won't let you be alone!"
Once, when her father passed away, Gu Qingcheng said the same thing to Yun Liuli! He said that he would always be by her side...
But later, he still abandoned her! He even wanted to send her overseas!
Thinking of this, Yun Liuli's nose started to sting, and tears started falling down.
Gu Qingcheng looked nervous."What's the matter?"
Yun Liuli shook her head and hugged Gu Qingcheng's arm with both hands."Uncle Qingcheng is better than my dad! I like Uncle Qingcheng the best! Uncle Qingcheng... then promise me, you must never leave me alone! Regardless of what happens!"
Gu Qingcheng did hear from the psychiatrist that Yun Liuli had lacked a sense of security since she was young!
He nodded and placed a hand on Yun Liuli's shoulder, pulling the young lady into his arms."Okay... Uncle Qingcheng promises you. You must also promise Uncle Qingcheng that you'll get well soon!"
It was clearly the same mature and calm voice, but Yun Liuli detected an unusual gentleness.
She closed her eyes and greedily squirmed into Gu Qingcheng's arms, enjoying the intimacy a lot.
At noon, Bai Jinyu and his girlfriend, Xu Wanwan, helped discharge her from the hospital. Yun Liuli and Gu Qingcheng packed up and returned to the Cloud Top Condominium.
According to logic, based on Yun Liuli's current condition, she wasn't fit for discharge yet!
However, Yun Liuli strongly requested it. Besides, she wasn't vomiting out what she ate anymore, and neither was her head hurting. She just needed an injection that helped to disperse the blood clot...
This wasn't a problem. They just had to take the medication back with them and let the caretaker help her with the injection.
Bai Jinyu instructed that if she felt unwell, she ought to return to the hospital immediately. She also needed to return to the hospital three days later for a CT scan to check on her condition. If she was in good condition, she could continue to recuperate at home. Otherwise, she needed to be hospitalized!
Gu Qingcheng, who usually spoke very little, asked Bai Jinyu in detail about the things to take note of when they got home. He also asked Bai Jinyu to help arrange a female doctor who could stay at their place. It would be best if it was a doctor from a private hospital of fairly good standards, and, of course, money wasn't an issue. The main thing was for Yun Liuli to feel comfortable.
Bai Jinyu felt thirsty after answering the many questions Gu Qingcheng asked, feeling that Gu Qingcheng was becoming more and more attentive towards Yun Liuli. He raised his teacup and took a big gulp before saying, "Say, why are you going through so much trouble? Why don't you just let Xiao Liuli stay in the hospital, it's convenient and safe!"
"She's not willing to stay in the hospital, so let's not force her!"
Bai Jinyu raised an eyebrow."Tsk tsk tsk tsk... you weren't so attentive towards Xiao Liuli in the past. She used to chase after you, and you used to dodge away from her! What's happening now?"
From the way Bai Jinyu was winking at him, Gu Qingcheng knew that Bai Jinyu wasn't going to say something good. He couldn't be bothered to bicker with Bai Jinyu, so he merely said, "Help make the arrangements quickly. It's best if the family doctor can come over tonight!"
Bai Jinyu was speechless.
Seeing Gu Qingcheng exit his office, Xu Wanwan, who was holding a cup of brown sugar longan tea and sitting on the sofa, laughed out loud despite her menstrual pain."I think Xiao Liuli's romance is about to blossom!"
"Focus on drinking your brown sugar tea instead of worrying about others. Why hasn't your menstrual pain problem gotten better? Every time your period comes, you're as pale as a sheet!" Bai Jinyu walked over and touched Xu Wanwan's porcelain mug. Sensing that the water temperature was a little cold, he added some hot water to it.
Bai Jinyu specially brewed this brown sugar longan tea for Xu Wanwan in his office. Previously, Xu Wanwan's menstrual pains would cause her so much pain that she slumped over the toilet and vomited. Now, under Bai Jinyu's meticulous care, her condition was actually much better than before.
Xu Wanwan reached out to receive the porcelain mug Bai Jinyu handed her. The heat pack she was hugging was taken away by Bai Jinyu to make it warmer too. She smiled and said, "They say the problem goes away after giving birth. Why don't we have a child to cure my menstrual pain, Professor Bai?"
"Okay! After your period is over... I'll strive to let you conceive!" Bai Jinyu bent over and placed the warmed up heat pack over Xu Wanwan's tummy."Let's go on leave tomorrow and register our marriage. We can plan for the wedding afterward. Let's strive to settle the wedding before your tummy bulges up! If you feel that's too tight of a deadline... let's hold the wedding after you give birth. Whatever it is, I'll leave it up to you! It's a once in a lifetime affair, so I won't let you have any regrets about it!"
