Ye Tianxin noticed the light was still on in the study, so she snuck up behind Xie Xuning and asked, “Dad, why are you still up?”
Xie Xuning couldn’t sleep. He was staring at Ye Linlang’s picture in a daze.
“Tianxin, I will be going abroad to attend a conference in half a month.”
Ye Tianxin thought Xie Xuning was worried about her grandmother’s surgery, so she replied, “Dad, just go and do your job. Uncle Qie and I will be in the hospital. There won’t be any problems.”
Xie Xuning’s palms were covered with tiny beads of cold sweat.
His mother-in-law’s operation was rather risky; he was deeply concerned that it might affect her future…
“Tianxin, I’m just really worried.”
Ye Tianxin sat beside him and responded with a yawn, “Dad, don’t worry. You have to believe in Dr. Xie. Besides, Dr. Xie has promised that she is capable of performing the surgery. I don’t see her as someone who would lie about something like that”
It’s wasn’t that Xie Xuning didn’t believe in Xie Yi, he just…missed Linglang.
“If anything goes wrong with the operation, how do I tell your mother in the future?”
If they couldn’t meet in this lifetime, would she blame him when they meet in the afterlife?
She would definitely blame him.
As a man, not only did he fail to protect his daughter, but also his mother-in-law!
How could he even face Linlang?
“Dad, I know you miss my mother. However, dad, you shouldn’t stay up so late. Go get some sleep, please. Destiny will surely reunite our family.”
Ye Tianxin’s insistence forced the initially reluctant Xie Xuning to go to rest obediently.
His daughter was the most important person in the world.
He had to listen to what his daughter said.
As Qie Wang said, his daughter was his entire life. He had to make sure she didn’t worry too much.
“Tianxin, you should go to bed earlier, too.”
“Alright.”
Ye Tianxin returned to her room. She checked the time on her phone and wondered if Li Qingcang was busy at the moment.
Just as Ye Tianxin was thinking about Li Qingcang, her cell phone rang.
As soon as Ye Tianxin saw the caller ID on her phone, she answered the call excitedly.
“Brother Li, I have some good news and bad news. Which one do you want to hear first?”
Hearing how energetic Ye Tianxin’s voice was, Li Qingcang felt all his tiredness disappear.
“The bad news.”
Ye Tianxin pretended to be depressed and mumbled, “The bad news is that Brother Yangzi and I did not pick up the doctor at the airport.”
“Didn’t she come?” Li Qingcang asked in a panic. Even from such a distance, he could imagine how disappointed Tianxin was.
Ye Tianxin did not answer Li Qingcang’s question directly and said, “The good news is that she came to the hospital by herself.”
Li Qingcang smiled heartedly and said, “You naughty little girl.”
Ye Tianxin grinned and replied, “Brother Li, I really hope she can cure my grandma.”
“She surely can do it. Yangzhi has posted all her medical records. If she was not so sure about the operation, she would definitely not take the risk. Tianxin, you have to have faith in her…”
Li Qingcang’s words eased Ye Tianxin’s tense heart.
“Brother Li, do you miss me?”
“Yes, I do.”
Ye Tianxin’s eyes suddenly turned red.
“I miss you too.”
“I will be back in 550 days.”
“Oh”, Ye Tian said in a heavy voice, “Brother Li, I think I have become so much braver when you’re not by my side.”
