Ye Nanqing turned to look at Ji Fuling, his thin lips parted slightly, "Gu Liao specializes in allergy and has been studying this abroad for the past few years. Have him examine Tiantian and see if her allergy symptoms can be improved through treatment."

"Um."

Ji Fuling nodded and was about to pick up the little girl.

Aunt Ding, who had gone to get the medicine, just returned. "Third Miss, let me take Tian Tian there. You were busy all night and must be very tired. You can rest here for a while."

Upon hearing this, Ji Tiantian immediately said sensibly, "Mommy, you should rest well. Tiantian will go with Grandma Ding."

As she spoke, the little girl opened her arms and nestled into Aunt Ding's embrace.

Ye Nanqing glanced at Gu Liao, who had his hands in his pockets, and asked, "Aren't you going?"

"Go, go, go right now. I dare not disobey Master Ye's orders."

Gu Liao made a joke, then turned and walked out, leading the way for Aunt Ding.

As the room quieted down, Ji Fuling leaned against the headboard and felt quite sleepy.

I didn't sleep well last night, and then I was taken to the outskirts of the city early this morning, followed by my little girl being admitted to the hospital.

After all this, it's impossible not to feel tired.

Seeing that she was clearly drowsy but was still forcing herself to stay awake, Ye Nanqing said, "If you're tired, take a nap. The examination won't be over so quickly."

Upon hearing this, Ji Fuling closed her eyes, but instead of lying down, she leaned against the headboard, hugged her arms, and fell asleep.

Ye Nanqing sat on the edge of the bed without moving, his deep black eyes fixed on her.

She looks very docile when she's asleep, unlike her usual aloofness; she has a kind of endearing, innocent charm.

Her face drew his gaze, which lingered unconsciously on his face...

"Third Master, something's wrong with you!"

A moment later, Gu Liao's voice suddenly came from the doorway.

Ye Nanqing then came to his senses, shifting his gaze from Ji Fuling's face to Gu Liao, who had returned.

The tender gaze from a moment ago instantly turned indifferent.

He stood up and walked towards the door, deliberately lowering his voice, "Finished the checkup?"

Gu Liao could tell at a glance that Ye Nanqing was afraid of waking Ji Fuling, and also didn't want him to see Ji Fuling's sleeping face.

He was quite tactful and took a few steps back, speaking from the corridor, "It's not over yet. There are assistants with us for the inspection, so it won't be a problem if I leave."

"So what are you doing here?"

Ye Nanqing's tone was indifferent, conveying a sense of coldness.

"Tell me first, what's going on with you? I've only been abroad for a few years, and you've suddenly changed your ways and started showing interest in women?!"

Gu Liao's face showed a shocked expression, as if all his previous understanding had collapsed.

Ye Nanqing looked at him coldly, "Your parents don't know you're working at this hospital, do they?"

Gu Liao: "..."

threaten!

This is a blatant threat!

If his parents found out he had returned to China, they would definitely use all sorts of means to force him to go back and inherit the family business.

But he had no interest in business; he only wanted to be a doctor who saved lives and healed the sick!

"What exactly is it? Just say it."

Ye Nanqing's patience gradually ran out, and his tone began to become impatient.

Remembering his earlier threat, Gu Liao dared not be glib anymore and quickly said, "Okay, actually I just wanted to ask you if you want me to do a paternity test for you and that little girl."

"I genuinely think her features resemble yours. What if she really is your daughter?"

Ye Nanqing's brows furrowed, and his tone suddenly turned serious, "You want to go to Congo to mine with Mu Xinghe?"

Upon hearing this, Gu Liao immediately backed down and waved his hands repeatedly, saying, "No, no, no! Let Mu Xinghe handle the mining himself."

"Just pretend I didn't say anything earlier. I'm going to check on how the little girl's checkup is going..."

Before he could finish speaking, Gu Liao had already turned and run away.

Are you kidding me?

If we don't run now, are we just going to be packed up and thrown onto a plane, spending our days and nights toiling away with shovels in the black soil?

Ye Nanqing really has the means to get him to mine in the Congo!

After chasing Gu Liao away, Ye Nanqing silently turned and went back to the ward, closing the door behind him.

On the hospital bed, the woman who had been sleeping while leaning against the headboard had somehow slumped onto the pillow.

Sunlight streamed in through the window, casting a soft glow on her and making her sleeping face appear even more beautiful and serene.

Ye Nanqing stood by the bed, looking down at the quiet woman on the bed, his eyes unfathomable.

What kind of brains do Mu Xinghe and Gu Liao have?

He and Ji Fuling had only known each other for a short time, and even if he wanted to, he couldn't possibly have children as old as Tian Tian, ​​Zi Han, and Zi Mo.

Seeing that Ji Fuling curled up slightly, Ye Nanqing reached out and pulled the blanket over her gently.

Ji Fuling wasn't sleeping deeply; she woke up abruptly as soon as the blanket was pulled over her.

When she opened her eyes and saw Ye Nanqing so close, her heart skipped a beat, and she stammered, "How long have I been asleep?"

Ji Fuling had no idea how alluring she looked at that moment, with her eyes still half-closed and her voice soft and sweet.

Ye Nanqing didn't speak, but only looked down at her, a deep, indescribable feeling surging in his eyes.

Ji Fuling felt uneasy under his gaze and quickly sat up in bed. "It seems like it's been quite a while. I'll go check on Tian Tian..."

As she spoke, she hurriedly got out of bed, but unexpectedly tripped over the blanket and fell forward without warning.

Just as she was about to fall flat on her face, a strong and powerful hand reached out and caught her.

Ji Fuling crashed into the man's strong chest.

Even through her clothes, she could feel Ye Nanqing's burning body temperature, and her breath was filled with his cool, refreshing scent.

She tried her best to calm herself and was about to pull away from his embrace when his large hands held her tightly around the waist.

Immediately afterwards, his magnetic and alluring voice came from above, "You're the one who pounced on me."

Ji Fuling: "..."

After a few seconds of silence, she raised her head in Ye Nanqing's arms, somewhat embarrassed and annoyed, and retorted, "What do you mean by taking the initiative?! I just tripped by accident!"

Ye Nanqing didn't argue with her about this. He suddenly raised his hand and pinched her delicate chin, his eyes growing increasingly dark.

Sensing the danger in his eyes, Ji Fuling instinctively struggled, saying, "You can let go of me now."

Ye Nanqing tightened his grip, holding her waist firmly to prevent her from breaking free. His deep gaze fell on her red lips, and his voice was low and suggestive, "May I kiss you?"

Ji Fuling was startled and before she could react, he had already pulled her down onto the bed behind her.

The sudden feeling of weightlessness made her instinctively want to grab onto something, and she ended up hugging Ye Nanqing's strong waist.

"No... um..."

As Ji Fuling lay on the bed, she was about to protest when the man leaned down and kissed her lips, silencing her before she could utter a single word.
