"Dad!" Ji Niandong interrupted him helplessly, "Lin Ji Yang is acting with me. The entertainment industry is just , it was just a casual remark. Do you really think he has a crush on your daughter? And Doctor Zhu, what relationship could I have with her? Didn’t I tell you, it was the investor’s son who happens to be my fan. They happen to know Doctor Zhu, so they asked her to help look after me a bit!"
"That investor, is it really just because his son is your fan?" Ji Guoqiang asked pointedly.
Ji Niandong sighed helplessly, "Dad, what exactly are you trying to say? Or do you also think your daughter is that kind of person?"
"I used to believe that woman, and never expected..."
Ji Niandong’s expression changed, and seeing this, Ji Guoqiang stopped speaking. Just as he was about to speak again, he heard her say, "Since you have nothing else, I’ll be leaving now. I’ll see you next time!"
"Tong..." He couldn’t call out before seeing his daughter’s silhouette disappear by the door.
This child, still cares so much!
But, who asked him to be so incapable!
As Ji Niandong walked out, she exhaled heavily, as if this was always the dynamic with her father, though they rarely discussed this topic.
What happened today?!
Shaking her head, as long as his health improves, that’s all that matters!
As she walked out of the hospital’s main doors, she spotted a black Bentley parked not far away. Ji Niandong’s mood improved unconsciously. It was her happiest place at that moment, and her steps became lighter as she approached.
Li Yi timely stepped out and opened the car door to greet her, and Ji Niandong rushed into Lu Beichen’s embrace as she entered.
She seemed very happy, and Lu Beichen gently asked, "Is father-in-law alright now?"
"Yes! So I’m very happy!" She looked up at him, "But what makes me even happier isn’t this!"
The little woman’s face radiated happiness, her cheeks flushed like peaches, making anyone’s mood lift upon seeing her, "Then what’s the reason?"
"Because... of what I just told you!" She tilted her head, appearing even more mischievous.
When they first met, she was polite! She was very cautious when interacting with him, extremely shy!
Now, she was radiant! Naturally herself in his company, awfully playful!
Regardless of how she was, she always left people unsatiated, and the longer they spent together, the more their hearts fluttered!
Lu Beichen hugged her tighter and coaxed like a child, "What did you just say to me?"
Ji Niandong turned her face away, "I said it when getting out of the car, didn’t Little Uncle hear it?"
"Did Madam really speak?" Li Yi couldn’t help but interject, "Boss said you seemed to say something, but I was standing right next to you and didn’t hear a thing. Boss surely couldn’t either!"
"He didn’t hear it!" Ji Niandong giggled in his embrace, "Kind words aren’t repeated, if he didn’t hear, so be it!"
"Really won’t say it?" Lu Beichen asked softly.
"I won’t, really won’t! Little Uncle, don’t tickle me, it really itches!" Her laughter grew louder.
Li Yi couldn’t help but laugh while driving, let alone Lu Beichen!
Hugging her tighter, he asked earnestly, "What were you just saying?"
"Doesn’t Little Uncle know everything? How is it that you don’t know what I said?" She leaned against his chest, listening to his heartbeat, feeling utterly grounded.
"Little Uncle, I love you!" She repeated just loud enough for herself to hear.
Lu Beichen lowered his head and raised an eyebrow, "What are you whispering again?"
Lu Beichen shook his head, raised his hand to gently tousle her hair, truly a child!
