Chapter 210 Father Jian wakes up

"Explain what?"

"Of course, tell her that you had an important social engagement today, and when you learned she was at Wen Jing's, you dropped everything and rushed over," Mo Yi said excitedly. "I can see you've lost a lot tonight."

Losing a project to Zhou Liangqi, which could very well bring him back to life, is indeed a huge loss.

But what does it matter? Huo Qichen rubbed his forehead and said, "She won't care. She will just think I deserve it."

Mo Yi couldn't help but curl his lips, "Actually, you love her very much, right?"

"Love?" Huo Qi Chen chewed on the word.

He did not stay overnight at Mingyuan today. Jian Mo slept on the empty big bed. She woke up in the middle of the night and touched her side, feeling something cold. She sighed deeply in the dark night. At this moment, the cell phone on the bedside table rang.

She was startled and glanced at the note. It was Xu Ming. She sat up, her heart clenched, "Brother Ming."

There was a sound of rapid breathing coming from the other end, and he was so excited that he couldn't utter the first sentence for a long time.

Jian Mo just held her chest and waited until she heard him say, "Your father is awake."

In an instant, she began to feel hot all over. She wanted to say something, but couldn't utter a word. She raised her head and tears rolled down her cheeks. The long wait of four years was finally redeemed.

She took a deep breath and said, "I'll be right there."

When I got out of bed, I found my legs weak and I fell to the ground.

When she saw Wen Jing yesterday, she was actually very envious of Wen Yuan for having a father who supported her, while her own father was still lying in the hospital with his life or death unknown. She felt a huge sense of disparity.

But now it’s different, her father has woken up...she also has a father!

Jian Mo stumbled downstairs, waking up Ju Ma. She came out with her coat on, "Madam, what's wrong?"

Before she could respond, she opened the drawer and grabbed a random car key from the pile. "I have to go out, right now!"

"Now! It's too late. I'll have the driver come and take you."

But at this point, it would take a while for the driver to arrive. Jian Mo shook her head and walked quickly towards the garage, "I can do it myself."

The garage was filled with cars, all of which belonged to Huo Qichen. Most of them had only been driven a few times. Jian Mo randomly selected one and drove away from Mingyuan. The worried figure of Ju Ma in the rearview mirror was getting farther and farther away.

To keep her mind clear, she opened the car window and let the cold wind blow in.

As long as her father wakes up, she won't have to be controlled by others anymore.

The hospital was very deserted late at night. Jian Mo ran all the way to the ward, but did not dare to go in when she reached the door. Her heart was beating rapidly, and she stood on tiptoe to look in through the window. At this time, Jian's father still had tubes inserted into his body, half leaning on the hospital bed, and opened his mouth to talk to Xu Ming.

He seems to be in much better spirits.

Really woke up...

Jian Mo pushed open the door of the ward and looked at the scene in disbelief.

"……dad."

The two men heard the noise and looked towards her.

Father Jian looked Jian Mo up and down, his eyes filled with hot tears, and his vision gradually blurred.

Jian Mo stepped forward. Seeing that she was wearing pajamas, Xu Ming smiled and said, "Didn't I tell you not to be so anxious?"

She ignored him and walked to Father Jian's side, tears falling uncontrollably. She hit him lightly and said in a very aggrieved tone, "Stinky old man, you slept for so long!"

Father Jian grabbed her hand and said in disbelief, "Are you Xiao...Xiaomo?"

Jian Mo cried even harder, "You can't even recognize me!"

Father Jian shook his head vigorously and held her hand tightly, "I remember, how could I not remember, my daughter."

Jian Mo threw herself into his arms and vented all the grievances she had suffered over the past four years. "You're so mean. You let me endure these four years alone. Do you know how I've been through it?"

With a father, I can act spoiled and complain without restraint, as if I have found a backer.

Jian Mo had never felt so happy as at this moment.

Father Jian tolerated her, nodded continuously, and kept repeating: "I know, I've wronged you, Xiaomo. It's Dad's fault..."

Seeing this, Xu Ming walked out of the ward, closed the door for them, and considerately gave the father and daughter some time alone.

Jian Mo cried for a long time. When she had cried enough, she stood up and said, "Just take good care of yourself and don't worry about anything, okay? Stay by my side from now on."

Father Jian nodded. He reached out and wiped the tears from Jian Mo's face. He said earnestly, "During the four years I was in a coma, she and Xiao Zhou didn't make things difficult for you, did they?"

It was self-evident who she was referring to. Jian Mo was silent for a moment, then shook her head, "Don't worry, I'm already capable of standing on my own, and I've stopped associating with them."

Father Jian was a smart man and quickly guessed what was going on. He didn't blame her, but instead said with concern, "I heard from Xu Ming that you've already got a job as the director of the design department. Xiaomo, I'm happy for you to be successful in your favorite field, but living alone is still too tiring..."

Jian Mo understood what he meant. She pursed her lips, thinking that she would know it sooner or later, so she simply said, "Old Jian, I'm already married."

Father Jian stopped all his movements. He looked at her in disbelief, his eyes darkened, and he almost couldn't breathe.

Jian Mo hurriedly supported him and quickly added, "He, he is very good to me. If it weren't for him, I don't know how to take care of you."

Hearing this, Father Jian calmed down a bit. "It's true that a day in the mountains is a thousand years in the world. My daughter is already married in the blink of an eye."

Jian Mo concealed her sadness and helplessness.

"No wonder I always seemed to hear a strange man's voice talking to me when I was unconscious."

She responded with a wry smile: "Yes, so don't worry, I'm doing fine."

Father Jian didn't believe it. "Why would you come here alone in the middle of the night? Where is he?"

"He... he is on a business trip and will not be in Haicheng these days. As soon as he comes back, I will let him come to see you." Now that things have come to this, I have to tell this lie.

Father Jian was skeptical. He pulled Jian Mo to sit down and asked, "What's his character like?"

The first question stumped Jian Mo. Huo Qichen's character was not good at all. He would set traps worth billions for her to fall into.

"He is a nice person and treats me well." Jian Mo answered with a stiff upper lip.

"Tell me more about it."

"..." Jian Mo racked her brains and thought about it, and chose some daily trivial matters to talk about, which could not be considered as lying.

"Sounds like you have a good family background," Father Jian said thoughtfully. "Did you have any ceremony when you got married?"

Jian Mo rolled her eyes and said, "No, they said they would wait until you wake up. His grandfather has been thinking about it and wants to have a good talk with you."

This is not cheating.

Father Jian accepted it reluctantly. He wanted to ask more questions but was stopped by Jian Mo. "You just woke up, so get some rest first. There's still a lot of time. You can slowly understand it later. There's no rush, okay?"

As a last resort, Father Jian could only be forced to lie down and look at her helplessly, his eyes full of doting.
