His daughter was indeed considerate.
Coincidentally, Aunt Wu’s chicken soup noodles were ready and served to Qin Haowen.
Qin Haowen picked up his chopsticks and finished the bowl of noodles very quickly.
The next day, Ji Yuanyuan woke up at around seven o’clock.
When she went downstairs, Aunt Wu and Xiao Qi had already prepared breakfast.
Freshly made wontons, stewed sticky porridge, noodles cooked with chicken soup, and fried dough sticks…
There was one serving on the dining table and another in the thermos.
Aunt Wu had just served Ji Yuanyuan breakfast when Qin Haowen came down.
The two of them finished their breakfast quietly. Then, they took the breakfast for Cheng Shuqin and Qin Mucheng and headed to the hospital.
When they arrived at the entrance of the hospital, the two of them realized that Qin Junshan had already woken up.
He was talking to Qin Mucheng when he said something that made Qin Junshan laugh.
However, Ji Yuanyuan felt that this laughter was a little strange.
She hurriedly walked in and shouted, “Grandpa?”
Only then did Qin Junshan realize Ji Yuanyuan and Qin Haowen had arrived. He smiled and said, “Yuanyuan… You… come…”
When he spoke, the corners of his mouth were slanted, and he looked like he was having a hard time.
Ji Yuanyuan’s heart sank.
Qin Junshan’s side effects were quite serious.
However, she did not show it on her face, as if she did not see Qin Junshan’s abnormality.
She went forward and placed the lunch box on the table. She asked him, “Grandpa, what do you want for breakfast? There are wontons, buns, fried dough sticks, noodles, porridge…”
Qin Junshan seemed to have a good att.i.tude, “Have some… Porridge, no… no appet.i.te…”
He seemed to have easily accepted his change, and his emotions did not change much.
Ji Yuanyuan opened all the lunchboxes, took the porridge and spoon, and went to the front of the bed.
Qin Mucheng got up and brought the bed up.
“Let me do it!” He reached out to take the porridge from Ji Yuanyuan’s hand.
“It’s alright, I’ll do it.” Ji Yuanyuan dodged. “You and Mom should go and have breakfast. Eat it while it’s hot.”
Qin Mucheng wanted to say something more, but before he could, Qin Haowen came over, “Let me do it. Mucheng, go eat. After you eat, send Yuanyuan to school.”
Qin Mucheng nodded and went to the sofa.
“Why don’t I take a day off today?” Ji Yuanyuan discussed with Qin Mucheng.
Qin Mucheng shook his head, “I’ll take care of Grandpa. You can go to school.” Qin Mucheng knew Ji Yuanyuan had been rather busy recently.
The laboratory was inseparable from people. She was studying while staring at the data in the laboratory.
“No need, you guys… Go do your work.” Qin Junshan said with difficulty.
Qin Haowen scooped some porridge and brought it to his mouth, “Father, open your mouth.”
Qm Junshan quickly opened his mouth, and Qin Haowen sent the porridge in. Both of them tried very hard, but the porridge still spilled out and fell on Qin Junshan’s hospital gown.
Seeing this, Qin Haowen quickly took a tissue to wipe.
After wiping, Qin Haowen was about to continue feeding when he suddenly realized Qin Junshan was staring blankly at the tissue in his hand.
Qin Haowen’s heart ached.
His father had been strong all his life, but now he had to be served in everything. He must be distraught.
However, in order to comfort them and not let them suffer, he could only pretend that he did not care.
Qin Haowen threw the tissue in his hand into the trash can beside him and scooped a spoonful of porridge into Qin Junshan’s mouth.
However, this time, the porridge in the spoon was only one-third of the previous time.
Qin Junshan opened his mouth cooperatively. This time, the porridge did not spill out.
Qin Haowen heaved a sigh of relief.
After dinner, Qin Mucheng sent Ji Yuanyuan to school.
At the hospital, the news of Qin Junshan’s hospitalization had somehow leaked out, and there was an endless stream of visitors.
Qin Haowen and Qin Mucheng had no choice but to discharge the old man and return home to recuperate.
Other than Doctor Xu, Qin Haowen also hired a male nurse to take care of the old man’s daily needs.
The weather gradually turned cold, and the old man’s health was getting better day by day.
He could not even stand up when he was just discharged from the hospital.
By the time Christmas came, he would be able to walk on crutches.
Ji Yuanyuan also had good news. Wu Qiuyun’s experiment could finally come to an end.
Are you free tonight? I’ll treat you to barbecue!” At 5:30 pm, Ji Yuanyuan had just packed her things and was about to go home when Cao Xiaorui appeared at the entrance of the laboratory.
Yes, the serious senior had a very girly name, Cao Xiaorui.
Although the two of them had been together for more than half a semester, they did not meet often because their work and rest were staggered.
Ji Yuanyuan could not reject such a half-baked relationship.
She hesitated for a moment before saying, “I’ll ask my husband. He might have already come to pick me up.”
Cao Xiaorui nodded and said matter-of-factly, “It’s okay. If your husband comes, it’ll still be enough to eat.”
Cao Xiaorui’s train of thought stunned Ji Yuanyuan.
She smiled awkwardly and called Qin Mucheng.
Qin Mucheng answered the call quickly, but his voice was very low, “I’m sorry I was delayed by something. Wait in the laboratory for a while. I’ll pick you up ’ now.”
“Are you in a meeting?” Ji Yuanyuan probed.
“Yes, I forgot the time just now. I didn’t do it on purpose…”
It’s fine. You can continue. It just so happens that Senior Sister wants to treat me to a meal.” Ji Yuanyuan hurriedly interrupted Qin Mucheng.
If it was a meeting, there would be many people.
She did not want others to see Qin Mucheng like this. If word got out, it would definitely be very unpleasant to hear.
Something like Little President Qin is afraid of his wife? Little President Qin is humble…
If the news spread to the company that they were working with, it would not be good for Shenghe.
“Alright, call me when you’re done. I’ll pick you up!” Qin Mucheng hesitated for
a moment before agreeing to Ji Yuanyuan’s request.
Ji Yuanyuan hummed and hung up the phone.
Qin Mucheng put away his phone and was about to continue the meeting when a manager from the investment department said jokingly, “I’ve long heard that Little President Qin is especially good to his wife.”
The atmosphere at the meeting instantly became relaxed.
“President Qin and Little President Qin are both good men.”
“I heard that Mr. and Mrs. Qin are childhood sweethearts. It was rare to see such a firm love these days!”
Qin Mucheng did not feel embarra.s.sed when he heard their words. Instead, a faint smile appeared on his face.
After everyone finished speaking, he coughed lightly, “Alright, let’s continue the meeting.”
Ji Yuanyuan was six to seven months pregnant and her stomach was already as big as a balloon.
Therefore, Cao Xiaorui didn’t dare to let her work. She gave her an address and asked her to go there first.
Ji Yuanyuan did not try to force herself. She did not decline and went over directly.
When she went over, she realized that Wu Qiuyun was also there..
