Chapter 167 True Partner

"My dad is in the hospital. He didn't tell me the details on the phone, but I have to go back right away."

Su Mi couldn't care about anything now.

He took out his cell phone and called his secretary, "Linda, please book a plane ticket for me right away..."

Before she could finish her words, her arm was suddenly grabbed. She looked up and saw Xiao Xuanjin staring at her. "I'll accompany you."

"Will you accompany me back?" Su Mi never thought that he would be willing to accompany her back to Jiangcheng.

"We are all family. Your relatives are naturally my relatives too."

Su Mi looked at Xiao Xuanjin's serious expression, tears welling in her eyes, "Xiao Xuanjin, thank you."

She didn't expect him to say this.

The honeymoon ended just like that.

They boarded the plane back to Jiangcheng together.

After arriving, the two rushed to the hospital without stopping.

Along the way, Su Mi was extremely anxious.

She didn't understand why her parents hid it from her and didn't tell her.

If it weren't for Gu Mucheng, she would still be kept in the dark.

She went directly to the ward that Gu Mucheng mentioned.

When I opened the door, I saw Su Boren lying on the bed.

Wei Rushuang was peeling an apple for him.

Seeing his parents, Su Mi burst into tears, "Daddy, Mommy."

The old couple turned around and were a little surprised to see their daughter suddenly appear.

"Baby, why are you back?"

"Yes, Qingqing, aren't you abroad?"

Su Mi walked over and asked anxiously, "Daddy, what happened to you? Why are you in the hospital?"

Wei Rushuang explained, "Your father has an old illness, high blood pressure, as you know. He's been overworked lately, and his body can't take it anymore. His blood pressure shot up, so he was admitted to the hospital. But it's not a big deal."

After hearing what Mommy said, Su Mi was still worried, "Why would you worry about it? Isn't everything in the company quite stable?"

Su Boren sighed and held his daughter's hand. "There's nothing wrong with the company. It's just that my health is failing. As people age, they always have all kinds of problems. Dad is fine."

"You said you were fine, but you were already in the hospital and you didn't even take more rest."

Facing his daughter's reproach, Su Boren listened obediently, "Okay, I'll listen to you. Daddy is just taking a rest."

Su Mi held his hand tightly, "And you too, you hid such things from me."

"I'm afraid you'll worry, and it's not a big deal."

"By the way, baby, why did you come back so suddenly? Did you leave Xiao Jin alone over there?"

Before entering the ward, Xiao Xuanjin said he had something to do, so he didn't come in with her.

"He... came back with me."

"What about the others?"

Just as he finished speaking, the door was pushed open and Xiao Xuanjin came in with a fruit basket, a bunch of nutritional supplement gift boxes, and a bouquet of flowers, his hands full.

"Mom and Dad." He called out smoothly.

Seeing her son-in-law, Wei Rushuang quickly greeted him and pulled a chair for him. "Xiao Jin, come and sit down. You're welcome. You don't need to bring so many things."

"Thank you, Mom. This is what I should do."

After putting the things down, he sat down.

Su Mi took a look at the things he had brought, and realized that he had already asked someone to prepare them in advance, and he just went downstairs to get them. No wonder he didn't come in with her.

Wei Rushuang saw that her daughter was in good spirits and her face was rounder, better than when she was at home. It was obvious that her son-in-law took good care of her.

Looking at his son-in-law, he became more and more satisfied. "Xiao Jin, you must have worked hard along the way."

"Mom, it's not hard. It's what I should do. We are all family."

Looking at Xiao Xuanjin's polite and considerate appearance, Su Mi couldn't help but want to praise him, but his parents were there now, so he thought he could only wait and talk about it in private.

Su Boren sat up and leaned against the pillow, looking at his daughter and son-in-law, and took the initiative to suggest, "Since you are back, why don't you stay in Jiangcheng for a while."

Su Mi had no objection. She also wanted to spend more time with her father, but she didn't know whether Xiao Xuanjin would agree. She couldn't help but look at Xiao Xuanjin.

Unexpectedly, he agreed immediately, "Of course."

Wei Rushuang asked out of concern, "By the way, how was your time out there?"

This honeymoon is not really a honeymoon.

Su Mi was about to evade the question when Xiao Xuanjin replied, "That's fine. I plan to make time to travel with her every year."

"That's good. Young people can't just be busy with work."

Su Mi found that Xiao Xuanjin was very good at chatting with the elders, and she almost had no chance to interrupt.

Wait until Daddy is tired and wants to rest.

Su Mi called her mother to go home and rest, and she would stay to look after her.

After Wei Rushuang returned, Su Mi sat by the bed and watched over her.

She secretly swore in her heart that she must work harder and try to take over the company as soon as possible so that she could share more of the burden for her father.

Seeing that her daddy was sleeping soundly, she walked out of the ward and to the door of the doctor's office.

Looking at the window on the door, I saw Xiao Xuanjin was also inside.

Is he also here to ask about Daddy's health?

She knocked on the door and the doctor called her in.

After coming in, Xiao Xuanjin looked back at her without saying a word.

Su Mi looked at the doctor, "Doctor, I want to ask about my father's condition."

The doctor knew her, Xiao Xuanjin, and their grand wedding of the century.

He spoke politely, "Miss Su, I've just told Mr. Xiao that your father's condition is common among people his age. In the future, you need to avoid stimulation, avoid overwork, maintain emotional stability, and take your medicine on time."

It is true.

Su Mi nodded, "I will."

In the future, I will urge him to take medicine and rest on time, and not let him be stimulated.

The doctor mentioned some more precautions, and Su Mi secretly took note of them.

After leaving the doctor's office, the two walked down the hallway. Xiao Xuanjin took the initiative to comfort her, "Don't worry, I will take care of your family with you."

Su Mi had never had the chance to thank Xiao Xuanjin, so she finally spoke, "Thank you for today."

Thank him for being willing to come back with her and for behaving so well in front of his parents, making his family feel at ease.

Daddy’s condition will not be affected if he sees that they are doing well.

I'm really grateful that he can help her without holding any grudges.

"Do you treat me as an outsider?" Xiao Xuanjin asked casually in response to her gratitude.

"Of course not."

"If it's not you, why are you being so polite to me?"

His words invisibly filled her heart's dry expectations for love.

Her hand hung at her side. After struggling for a few times, she finally mustered up the courage to reach into his palm and hold it. "Xiao Xuanjin, if you... do this, I will misunderstand..."

You know, theirs was a marriage by arrangement, there was really no need for him to go to this extent.

She felt that she owed him more and more.

"What's the misunderstanding?"

Xiao Xuanjin lowered her eyes and looked at their intertwined hands. This was the first time in such a long time that she took the initiative while she was awake.

It has been a long time since she took the initiative to approach him.

There were few people in the corridor at this time, and it was quiet.

Su Mi could clearly hear her own heartbeat, like a drum, "It's just a misunderstanding... We are really partners."

"When have we not been true partners?" Xiao Xuanjin smiled and rubbed her palm with his fingertips. "Wife, what nonsense are you talking about?"
