“Old Yu, don’t be so angry. She doesn’t represent our family. Let’s discuss it again.” Father Li tried to hold Father Yu back but was pushed away. Father Yu exchanged glances with Mother Yu, and they both left one after the other.
After a while, Xiao Qian and Yu Minglang also came out.
Xiao Qian reassured Li Zhen not to worry and not to be hasty no matter what his parents said. She also asked him to cooperate with her in doing something, ensuring him that within three days, Aunt would definitely come to her for help. Li Zhen agreed to cooperate.
“Xiao Qian, about this situation…” Father Li, who couldn’t persuade Father Yu to stay, could only speak to Xiao Qian with difficulty.
Xiao Qian gave him a slight smile, “In our line of work, we believe that forceful persuasion can’t achieve sweet results. Since Aunt doesn’t trust me, I suggest you seek help from another doctor.”
“That’s right, we’re not begging for business. Xiao Qian is very busy too.” Yu Minglang added, maintaining the same smile as Xiao Qian. Both their expressions and gazes were in sync.
They both looked sly, as if wearing that word on their faces: Cunning.
Yu Minglang took Xiao Qian away with him, and Uncle was so furious that he pointed at Aunt’s nose, unable to speak for a long time.
“Why are you so angry? I’m doing this for my son’s sake too…” Aunt felt confused and scared.
Elder Brother’s stance just now made her feel an inexplicable fear. She began to realize that she had lost a powerful support.
Furthermore, her husband’s attitude made her increasingly uneasy. Previously, she thought her husband only threatened her when he talked about divorce.
But today, Father Li’s reaction and her own brother’s reaction let Aunt gradually understand that her current position was precarious.
When she tried to talk to Father Li again, he waved his hand tiredly, indicating that he didn’t want to talk to her anymore. Aunt followed him, wanting to see her son.
Father Li turned coldly, “If you don’t want your son to see you upset and his condition to worsen, don’t go in.”
“He won’t… He’ll miss me. I’ve always been thinking about him.”
“You heard what Xiao Qian said, your son’s problem is caused by psychological issues, and the first thing he did when he woke up was to apologize to Xiao Qian because of your actions! You are less sensible than a child; I’m very disappointed in you.”
After Father Li finished talking and entered the room, Aunt was greatly shocked. She staggered back and almost couldn’t stand still.
Could it be that her son had become like this because of her?
No… Aunt stood there for several seconds, and she began to deny this possibility desperately. She took out her phone with trembling hands and found that she couldn’t even dial the numbers steadily.
She called Professor Liu first, but the line was busy, so she tried to call others. She wiped her blurry eyes and realized it was tears – she was crying?
She couldn’t believe that in this world, besides Chen Xiaoqian, there wouldn’t be someone who could cure her son. There must be someone, there must be!
Yu Minglang and Xiao Qian walked out of the hospital. Xiao Qian reached out to push the door but was pulled back by Yu Minglang, who took her hand and pushed the door with his other hand.
Usually, holding hands felt reassuring. Today, it felt a little uneasy.
“Did you… hear my conversation with Li Zhen earlier?” Xiao Qian asked Yu Minglang.
“I saw it,” Yu Minglang emphasized the word “saw.”
Xiao Qian quickly guessed, “You mean, there’s only video surveillance without audio, so you read our lips?”
That wasn’t so bad since only he knew, and Yu Minglang would probably think she was just tricking people again, not taking it seriously.
“However, I found out a secret about you,” Yu Minglang’s words made Xiao Qian shudder.
Yu Minglang whispered softly into her ear, “Little alcoholic, huh?”
So it was about that. Xiao Qian let out a sigh of relief.
“I don’t like drinking. I’m not an alcoholic.” She replied seriously.
“Drinking half a catty alone?”
Xiao Qian turned her face away, not looking at his teasing gaze, “It’s for work, all for my patients.”
That was true. There had to be an outlet for venting, right?
She treated people every day, encountering the darkest aspects of society and the lack of humanity. The world described by patients with mental illnesses was always distorted. So, to maintain an objective mindset to analyze the truth, her heart could not be emotionless.
“Next time, big brother will drink with you,” Yu Minglang affectionately scratched her little nose.
Xiao Qian snorted, thinking if his alcohol tolerance was really that good, how did Xiao Wei come about in their past life?
“Not convinced?” Yu Minglang saw her disdainful expression and itchiness crept into his heart.
If it wasn’t for rushing back, he would find a place to get her tipsy now, and then this and that… Last time wasn’t enough, and he didn’t have time to think about it these few days. But when he had some free time, he couldn’t help but think of her.
“Convinced, hehe.”
The “hehe” exposed Xiao Qian’s perfunctory attitude, and Yu Minglang wanted to pull her to a secluded place and bite her a few times, but he couldn’t. He had already seen their car parked by the side of the road, waiting for Xiao Qian.
“Go ahead, I have to go back.” Yu Minglang patted Xiao Qian on the shoulder.
“Why so soon?” She thought they would at least have dinner together before heading back.
“Yeah, I just came out during lunchtime. I only have time to take a quick look before going back.”
“Eat something on the way; it’s not good to be on an empty stomach.”
Yu Minglang felt warmth in his heart as he saw her concern, and he felt a sense of belonging to home spread in his heart.
“Qian Bao, I love you.”
“What?”
Xiao Qian didn’t hear him, as a truck delivering ingredients to the hospital passed by, muffling his voice. Yu Minglang, who usually had keen reflexes, didn’t know what was wrong with him. He kept looking at her expectantly even as the truck approached. Xiao Qian quickly pulled him to the side of the road just as the truck stopped nearby.
“What did you say?” Xiao Qian turned back and asked Yu Minglang.
Yu Minglang didn’t know why he suddenly said those words, but the love in his heart overflowed, and he wanted to say it to her. He also wanted to hear her say it back, which would surely make him feel fulfilled.
But poor Xiao Qiang blurted out his confession at the worst timing – when the truck was coming, so she didn’t hear and naturally wouldn’t respond.
Yu Minglang looked up at the sky speechlessly. Xiao Qian didn’t know what Xiao Qiang had gone through in those brief seconds. She just saw his extremely frustrated face, then suddenly reached out and held her shoulder, straightening her and staring seriously into her eyes.
“Qian Bao, I LOVE YOU!”
In the crisp coldness of early spring, the dark green truck shielded the couple from view, as well as the small frustrations of a man who had been overwhelmed by love.
Yu Minglang let her go, pointed at her, and looked serious, as if he had more to say.
Xiao Qian looked at him like an innocent little girl in love, and Yu Minglang waved his hand at her a couple of times, finally settling on pushing her slipping glasses back into place.
“Wait till next time we meet, I’ll ‘deal with’ you!”
“…” Scared of you!
