Chapter 363 Returning Home
"You're a well-known workaholic, suddenly canceling everything and disappearing for months without a trace is unprecedented. Of course, I need to find out what happened. Especially since I heard it was all for a woman!" Lan Tian chuckled softly as he spoke from the driver's seat, glancing back in the rearview mirror.
"I thought you didn't care about my affairs," Lu Jinye chuckled.
"Are you still angry with me?" Lan Tianyi raised an eyebrow. "How could I not care about you? In my heart, you've always been the most important person!"
When Wen Ni slightly woke up...
What I overheard was this ambiguous conversation!
Her heart skipped a beat, and she decided to continue pretending to be asleep.
“I was shot time and time again, teetering on the brink of life and death, and you resolutely abandoned me time and time again, secretly leaving. At that time, I was no longer the number one in your heart.” From Lu Jinye’s voice, it was not hard to hear that he still had a knot in his heart that he could not let go of.
Who is this female pilot?
Was she Lu Jinye's white moonlight when he was young?
Wen Ni's mind was a bit of a mess, and she couldn't sort it out.
He clearly said he had never liked anyone, so was he lying to her?
"And what about her? Didn't she abandon you too?" Lan Tian's voice was indifferent. "She left you to go to the battlefield where life and death are at stake. This shows that you will never be the first priority in her heart. This is also the main reason why I have always disapproved of you dating a soldier."
“Of course she’s different from you.” Lu Jinye’s throat tightened, his cold tone softening. “If it weren’t for the mission, she would never have left without a word. Nor would she have disappeared from my life so suddenly and silently, like you all did!”
After these words were spoken, the air fell into a brief silence.
"So that's how it is."
After a long pause, Lan Tian said with a hint of realization and deep helplessness, "So you weren't blaming me for not being there for you, but for leaving without explanation every time... Now that I think about it, it was indeed my negligence in communicating with you."
Listening to their conversation, Wen Ni felt a strange and inexplicable melancholy welling up inside her.
Lu Jinye seems to be quite resentful about this woman's sudden departure back then.
Indeed, such an outstanding air force pilot.
Who wouldn't love it?
Unlike her, who only manages to hurt herself all over.
"Now that I think about it, before we came here, I was wondering what kind of girl could be liked by someone as outstanding as my son? Now it seems that my son is actually marrying above his station!"
"Pfft...cough cough cough!!"
Wen Ni, who was lying on Lu Jinye's lap lost in thought, couldn't catch her breath when she heard the words "[my son]", and started coughing violently with her eyes closed.
Lu Jinye quickly gripped her hand, his face filled with concern as he helped her up. "You're awake? What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"
"I bet she's fine. I guess she just overheard us talking and accidentally choked on her own saliva, right, little girl?" Lan Tian laughed even more exaggeratedly.
"Cough cough, you...you know I'm not asleep?" Wen Ni's ears turned slightly red, and she leaned weakly against Lu Jinye's chest, her mind a jumble of thoughts!
"Of course I didn't know if you were asleep or not. I was just bluffing." Lan Tian winked mischievously, a smile still playing on her lips. "I just didn't expect the little girl to admit it so quickly!"
"..."
Wen Nichun was taken aback by her identity and temporarily lowered her guard.
"Mom, don't joke about her." Lu Jinye's expression was serious, and he tightened his grip on Wen Ni's arm. "She's still carrying such serious injuries!"
Upon hearing this, Lan Tian clicked his tongue twice and chuckled, "What, is your son feeling sorry for you?"
“…” Lu Jinye turned his face away and remained silent.
"Comrade Colonel, please don't misunderstand, we don't have that kind of relationship," Wen Ni tried to explain.
"Not now, and not in the future, right?" Lan Tian raised an eyebrow and chuckled, glancing at her son's sour face. She cleared her throat and then shrugged seriously. "Alright, alright, I won't joke with you anymore~ Little Wen Ni, you should rest well, we'll be at the hospital soon!"
“…Mmm.” Wen Ni responded, her heart pounding even harder.
His gaze wandered somewhat helplessly.
Finally, the focus was on Lan Tian's profile, which was mature, beautiful, and captivatingly elegant!
It turns out that Lu Jinye's appearance was inherited from his mother; they were seven or eight parts similar in beauty.
She must have had a brain fart just now.
I can't believe they were in that kind of relationship...
As I thought about it, my eyelids grew heavy again.
Wen Ni was extremely exhausted. The flight was only half an hour long, but she kept falling asleep repeatedly.
But every time she woke up, she could feel Lu Jinye's warm hand and his steady, strong heartbeat...
"Lu Jinye, what if I really die and you can't find me in Myanmar?" she asked him in her delirium.
He tightened his grip on her arm, saying, "I never thought I wouldn't be able to find you. If I can't, I'll keep looking!"
"Fool," she muttered reproachfully.
He didn't say anything, but she could feel his heart beating faster and faster.
"...Thank you, Lu Jinye."
It was he who gave her, who was always prepared to die on every mission, the hope of coming back alive for the first time!
Outside the plane window, the night sky over China had never been so clear and bright...
The helicopter flew directly to the rooftop helipad of the military hospital.
Dean Cheng Gong had arranged for people to wait for him well in advance.
As soon as Wen Ni arrived, she was immediately carried into the operating room on a stretcher!
Who were those people who were just carried in?
"How could Elder Cheng come to the hospital in the middle of the night to personally oversee the surgery?"
A group of doctors and nurses on duty gathered in the office, whispering among themselves.
Dr. Su Li, wearing gold-rimmed glasses and with short, brown-gray hair, walked in, rubbing her temples wearily. "What are you talking about?"
He was recently transferred to the General Hospital of the Military Region for further studies.
"Dr. Su Li, you've just returned, so you might not know, but operating room number 30 just received a female patient who was airlifted in by helicopter. She has gunshot and stab wounds all over her body. Most importantly, it alarmed Dean Cheng, who rushed over in the middle of the night to personally oversee the operation!"
“Really?” Su Li raised an eyebrow.
"Want to know who she really is?" Dr. Zhou, sitting in the corner, mysteriously twirled his pen.
All the doctors turned around in a flash!
"Dr. Zhou, you're the most well-informed! Tell me what you know!"
"Hmph! The reason this woman was able to alarm Dean Cheng is because she is none other than one of Dean Cheng's former students! The pioneer of multiple virus research projects! Our senior sister!"
"What!?"
Everyone looked on in surprise.
Su Li paused, quite intrigued!
He had always been curious about the first student he accepted as an exception after his success—that legendary medical student who had cracked the code for multiple types of viruses! He never expected to run into him today!
"This senior sister is no ordinary person! She's from the military region!" Dr. Zhou continued talking, peering intently at the tall man wearing a hat and mask who had been waiting outside the operating room. "See that person? That must be... an undercover soldier sent by the military!"
"Wow! Plainclothes soldiers! That sounds really impressive! So, we still have a chance~" The nurses' hearts fluttered with excitement.
Dr. Zhou shook his head, picked up a file, and tapped them on the head. "Are you desperate? Maybe you're an ugly monster when you take off your hat and mask?"
"Pshaw! In our line of work, how can you judge a book by its cover? A good physique is everything! Hehehe!"
They were making jokes and gossip there.
Su Li couldn't take her eyes off that figure!
Others might not recognize his figure, but how could he not recognize him!
Damn it... isn't this Lu Jinye who disappeared for several months?
So, the first student of Professor Cheng in the operating room was someone he knew! ? ?
"..." Su Li's CPU burned out.
