"But..." Mo Xiaolin was hesitant, asking, "Can you really keep your injury a secret?"
"Of course." ng Siyu said with certainty, confidently stating, "Xiao Yue is in Jing City, it for sure can’t be kept from her, but in Country F, it definitely can."
Tang Mingli and the rest should get the news, and given Tang Mingli’s protective nature towards his niece, he would surely agree.
So, this news won’t make it back to Country F no matter what.
Sure enough.
When Tang Mingli received the news, he ca to the hospital that very night.
"ng Siyu, I’m not trying to nag, but weren’t you supposed to be building Pinganda in Jin City? How co you’re ending up in the hospital instead? You’re visiting hospitals more and more frequently," Tang Mingli sized ng Siyu up. He had tanned quite a bit and had grown considerably thinner. Due to his injury, his complexion didn’t look great.
"If you didn’t want to co, you could have stayed away," ng Siyu raised an eyebrow. ng Jin and Mo Xiaolin had already voluntarily cleared the space for them, to save them elders the discomfort of sitting around.
Tang Mingli placed the things he brought beside him and sat down by the bed, saying, "If I don’t co and check on you for Xiao Yue, how can I be at ease?"
"Mingli, you mustn’t tell Xiao Yue about my injury," ng Siyu spoke of the most important matter. He said, "Xiao Yue would definitely worry if she knew."
Tang Mingli nodded in agreent, "Of course we won’t tell Xiao Yue. Are we supposed to have her rush back from abroad?"
"Speaking of which, you two haven’t seen each other for half a year..."
"I have seen her." ng Siyu lifted the corners of his mouth, the sheer joy of thinking about his wife made him forget the pain in his body.
"When did you go to Country F, and where exactly did you get injured?" Tang Mingli caught onto ng Siyu’s words.
ng Siyu kept his mouth shut.
Tang Mingli then changed the subject, "Siyu, to be honest, I was against you pursuing Xiao Yue at the beginning, but now..." Tang Mingli drew out his words, "seeing how you always keep Xiao Yue in your heart, I think it’s quite good."
ng Siyu glanced at him, "Tang Yue and I are legally husband and wife now."
"Okay, I know you are a legal couple, but, shouldn’t you explain what this is all about?" Tang Mingli examined his wounds and asked, "Your family isn’t short on money, when can you stop being so reckless?"
"Tang Yue is only twenty-one, it’s tough for her staying alone every day."
...
When Tang Mingli left, ng Siyu massaged his temples, never realizing when... Tang Mingli had beco so talkative?
If it wasn’t about how tough Xiao Yue had it, it was about his daughter Tuantuan.
Tang Mingli felt for Xiao Yue, which ng Siyu could understand. He also felt guilty towards Jiajia, not being able to be like a regular couple, always by her side.
But Tang Mingli couldn’t stop ntioning his daughter, his bragging attitude made ng Siyu want to kick him out.
Was he mocking him for not having a daughter yet?
When Tang Mingli got ho, Wei Jiajia had just put daughter Tuantuan to sleep. She asked, "How was it? ng Siyu is okay, right?"
"He’s fine, tough life, won’t die so easily." Tang Mingli watched his daughter’s sleeping face, softly leaning over to kiss her tender little cheek, the undying adoration in his eyes as he whispered, "Tuantuan, daddy’s back."
"Tang Mingli, Tuantuan’s asleep, can you not kiss her?" Wei Jiajia pulled Tang Mingli away, she had finally managed to coax the little ancestor to sleep, she didn’t want Tang Mingli’s kiss to wake her up.
"Darling, don’t worry, my greatest love is you, Tuantuan cos second," Tang Mingli leaned in, giving Wei Jiajia a kiss, praising her, "Wifey, you are the greatest contribution to our family."
"What about Anan?" Wei Jiajia put her hands on her hips, "So does Anan co last?"
Seeing Wei Jiajia about to get angry, Tang Mingli touched his nose and said, "Of course, I’ll be the last one. Anan will be the third. From now on, father and son will protect mother and child."
"That’s more like it." Wei Jiajia’s face broke into a smile, and knowing that ng Siyu was fine put her mind at ease.
...
In the dead of night, ng Jin and Mo Xiaolin rested in an empty sickroom next door, so if there were any changes in ng Siyu’s condition, they could be there imdiately.
These past days, ng Jin had a serious talk with An Chong, never realizing how exceptional his son was, better than he imagined. So things, however, are better kept secret, so ng Jin covered up for ng Siyu, claiming that ng Siyu encountered bad people in Jin City.
By the ti Tang Yue hurried to Jing City, it was already four o’clock in the early morning, and the breeze in early October was quite cool.
Tang Yue, who rushed back hastily, only had a thin trench coat draped over her, making her slender figure even more apparent.
"Take mine." Wu Xin took off his coat.
Tang Yue declined, saying, "Wu Xin, I can withstand this bit of wind. Let’s find a car and go straight ho."
After a mont’s thought, she changed her mind, "No, let’s go to the hospital."
She couldn’t explain why, but her intuition told her that Si Yu really was in trouble, at the First Hospital.
Sitting in the car, it indeed got warr.
The driver glanced at the rearview mirror several tis, only to be t with a chilling gaze from Wu Xin that deterred him from looking again.
Wu Xin, if not looked at carefully, could be mistaken for a boy, exuding a cold aura.
Upon reaching the hospital and paying the fee, Tang Yue stood in the lobby, but hesitated. Was she placing too much trust in her intuition?
What if Si Yu was at ho?
After a mont, Tang Yue approached the nurse’s desk to inquire about a patient nad ng Siyu.
"Sorry, we can’t disclose patient information at will," the nurse declined politely with a smile.
Desperately, Tang Yue said, "Nurse, I’m his spouse, just back from abroad, and I don’t know which ward he’s in."
Tang Yue’s appearance, haggard and with a touching soft-spoken voice, combined with her bright eyes full of pleading, made it hard to refuse her.
The nurse searched for a mont.
Tang Yue’s gaze was fixed on the nurse, hoping not to find ng Siyu’s na, yet fearing her intuition was off.
"There is one."
The nurse’s words caused Tang Yue’s heart to tighten, and she quickly asked, "What happened to him? Why is he hurt?"
"Apparently, he ran into so bad people. It was very dangerous at the ti, and he almost didn’t make it. Fortunately, he was rescued in ti," the nurse said with a smile, sharing what she knew. She had found the na sowhat familiar, and after checking the bed number, she recognized it as the patient who had been resuscitated, rumored to have had the misfortune of running into bad people.
Tang Yue couldn’t wait to rush to the ward.
It was already past five in the morning, and it wasn’t light yet when she said to Wu Xin, "Wu Xin, go find a place nearby to rest."
"I’ll take you to the ward entrance," Wu Xin insisted.
Ignoring her, Tang Yue strode to the ward and gently pushed the door open. The faint light by the bed clearly revealed it was ng Siyu.
Beneath the dim light, ng Siyu, lying on the hospital bed, did not look as tall as he usually did. Tears instantly stread down Tang Yue’s face. If she hadn’t insisted on coming back, he surely would have kept it from her.
