Su Yan said casually, "Mother, don't worry, I know what I'm doing."

Seeing that she didn't mention Jingmao at all, Li Juan felt a little conflicted.

To be honest, she was quite satisfied with Xiao Jiang; she felt that only Xiao Jiang and her daughter were a good match.

Why did the two of them break up when they were doing so well? She didn't dare say this aloud, afraid of hurting her daughter's feelings.

"I'm telling you, you have to be home by 10 p.m., or else... or I'll lock the door and not let you in!" Li Juan warned deliberately in a fierce tone.

Su Yan was both amused and exasperated. "Mom, I'm almost 19 years old. Why do you still treat me like a little kid? There's even a curfew when I come home."

"I don't care, you're still a college student, or a big kid. You have to act like a college student, understand?"

"Okay, okay, I'll do as you say, alright?"

Only then did Li Juan leave the kitchen, satisfied.

Su Yan shook her head helplessly, then picked up her phone and dialed Su Yu's number. After the call connected, she asked, "Brother, did you do something to Jing Mao?"

Su Yu asked in surprise, "How did you know I attacked him?"

"He just called me out of the blue and asked me to have dinner at a Western restaurant. As a result, my mom warned me to be home by 10 p.m. or she'd lock the door and not let me in," she said, speechless.

Su Yu laughed; this was exactly the kind of thing his mother would do.

"Jingmao's company was suddenly investigated, and he doesn't know what happened yet, so he wants to get in touch with Guo Ziming through you to resolve this crisis."

Jingmao's company has been investigated before, and he himself knows that it cannot withstand a thorough investigation, so every time it is investigated, he spends a lot of money to settle the matter.

However, this sudden investigation yielded no results whatsoever. He tried to settle things with money, but the other party reprimanded him for bribing them.

Jingmao quickly realized that the people who came this time were different from those who came before, so he hurriedly contacted Su Yan.

He believed that as long as he got his hands on Su Yan, Guo Ziming would definitely try to smooth things over for his company because of Su Yan.

"No wonder," Su Yan asked curiously, "Why didn't he seek help from his powerful backer?"

"They say he has a powerful backer, so why use that connection unless it's absolutely necessary?"

Jingmao's powerful backer probably warned him not to contact him unless things reached a critical point.

Su Yan raised an eyebrow. "Alright, then I'll meet him myself. Today is the Lantern Festival, are you going home for dinner?"

Su Yu paused for a moment and said, "Let's not go back. I took a week off for the New Year, and it's time for others to take theirs. Otherwise, if I keep going home, it won't have a good impact in the long run."

He is a man who knows his own limitations.

During this period, he went home almost every day. The people in the unit understood his longing for home after five years of missions, but it had been two or three months in a row, which was about enough.

Su Yan understood him. "Okay, then I'll bring you some dumplings."

"Okay." Su Yu thought for a moment, "What about Nianyu and Jinghe?"

"Nianyu was taken out by Xiaolei to set off firecrackers. Sister Jinghe is at the hospital. I'll bring her dumplings later and pick her up for the Lantern Festival."

"Who are you sending dumplings to? Ye Feixu? And Jiang Moumou?" Su Yu asked deliberately.

Su Yan rolled her eyes. "Mind your own business."

"I have to say, you're really something. You've already forgiven Jiang Jingxing in your heart, so why are you still keeping him hanging on?"

"You don't understand. If you let a man have you too easily, he won't cherish you. Besides, who said I forgave her? Don't talk nonsense," she said irritably.

Su Yu didn't want to argue with her too much. "I don't know about others, but you can feel whether Jiang Jingxing cherishes you or not. Bystanders can see it even more clearly. Anyway, you decide for yourself."

Even though Jiang Jingxing made countless mistakes, the one thing he never changed about Su Yan was his heart.

He hopes that his future brother-in-law will be Jiang Jingxing.

But if the two are destined to be apart, at least Su Yan's standards for her future partner cannot be worse than his.

"I'm hanging up, I'm busy."

Su Yan pouted and put her phone aside.

Thinking about what Su Yu said, she also wondered if she was being too dramatic.

Well then, let's just take it one step at a time.

She pushed aside the jumbled thoughts in her head, packed five servings of dumplings, and took the bus to the hospital.

...

An hour later.

Military hospital.

Su Yan first went to Zhong Jinghe's ward to say hello and tell her to pack her things for going home, and then went upstairs to find Jiang Jingxing.

Ye Feixu is here now, giving him acupuncture.

For the past two weeks, she and Guo Ziming haven't met.

She deliberately avoided him and reduced the number of times she came to the hospital.

She didn't know if the other person was also avoiding her, but the two of them never bumped into each other by accident.

"Senior brothers, I've brought you dumplings."

She came in, glanced at Jiang Jingxing, and placed the dumplings on the bedside table.

She originally planned to give it to Jiang Jingxing and invite Ye Feixu to celebrate the Lantern Festival together at the courtyard house, but he refused.

So she packed five boxes of dumplings, which should be enough for two grown men.

Ye Feixu had just finished inserting the last needle and straightened up. Seeing the dumplings on the table, he said, "Let's open them. I'm a little hungry."

Su Yan responded and unpacked the contents, placing them on the table.

After washing his hands, Ye Feixu came out, picked up some dumplings, and sat down to eat them. There was also a medical book on the table, which he was engrossed in reading.

He was a man of few words, and Jiang Jingxing was not much of a talker either. When the two of them got together, they could go for three or four days without saying a word to each other, each doing their own thing.

She also opened a portion of dumplings for Jiang Jingxing, saying, "Eat them while they're hot; they don't taste as good when they're cold."

Jiang Jingxing was immediately delighted.

Looking at his bright smile, Su Yan couldn't help but think of Happy Puppy.

They are easily satisfied; a smile is enough to make them happy all day long.

A smile involuntarily curved her lips.

"What are you laughing at?" Jiang Jingxing asked, staring at her.

Ye Feixu also looked up at her.

Su Yan coughed lightly and said, "It's nothing. By the way, Senior Brother, haven't you heard from Master yet?"

Ye Feixu adjusted his glasses and said calmly, "Master will be back today or tomorrow. He called me this morning."

"Okay." She couldn't help but ask curiously, "Do you know where Master went? Even Senior Brother doesn't know."

“He was taken away by people from the medical organization,” Ye Feixu said. “I don’t know exactly what he’s doing inside.”

He wasn't a gossipy or inquisitive person, nor was Xie Jin.

Guo Ziming probably knows, but there's an awkward situation between the two right now.

She wouldn't call him just to satisfy her curiosity.

She glanced at the time. "Alright, you two eat. I need to take my sister-in-law home now, or we'll miss the bus."

"Have you taken your driving test?" Jiang Jingxing asked her quickly.

Su Yan tilted her head and said seriously, "No, but I can drive now, and my skills are pretty good."

Jiang Jingxing: "..."

Ye Feixu: "..."
