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 less about anything now.

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

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."

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

She didn't expect him to say this.

The honeymoon ended like this.

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 kept it a secret and didn't tell her.

If it weren't for Gu Muqing, 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.

When Su Mi saw her parents, tears welled up in her eyes, "Daddy, Mommy."

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

"Baby, why are you back?"

"Yes, my dear, 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. You know it too. He has been working too hard recently. His body can't take it. His blood pressure has risen sharply. That's why he was admitted to the hospital. But it's not a big problem."

After hearing what her mother said, Su Mi was still worried, "Why would you worry so much? Isn't everything in the company pretty stable?"

Su Boren sighed and held his daughter's hand. "The company is fine. It's my health that's failing. As people age, they will always have all kinds of problems. Dad is fine."

"You said you were fine, but you're already in the hospital and you don't even know how to get more rest."

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

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

"I'm just worried that you might worry. Besides, it's not a big deal."

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

Before entering the ward, Xiao Xuanjin said he had something else 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 gift boxes, and a bouquet of flowers in his hands, his hands were full.

"Mom and Dad." He called out smoothly.

Seeing her son-in-law, Wei Rushuang immediately 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 taken and realized that he had already asked someone to prepare them in advance and he had just gone 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 her son-in-law, she became more and more satisfied. "Xiao Jin, you must have had a hard time along the way."

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

Looking at Xiao Xuanjin's polite and considerate appearance, Su Mi couldn't help but want to compliment 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 glance at Xiao Xuanjin.

Unexpectedly, he agreed immediately, "Of course."

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

This honeymoon is not really a honeymoon.

Su Mi was about to evade the question, but Xiao Xuanjin had already answered, "Very good. I plan to make time to travel with her every year in the future."

"That's good. Young people can't just focus on work."

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

Wait until daddy is tired and wants to rest.

Su Mi asked her mother to go home and rest, and she would stay to watch over the baby.

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 with her father.

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

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

Is he also here to inquire 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 and Xiao Xuanjin, and knew about their grand wedding of the century.

He spoke very politely, "Miss Su, I have just told Mr. Xiao that your father's condition is common to most people of his age. In the future, you must be careful not to get too excited, not overwork, keep your mood stable, and take medicine on time."

It is indeed so.

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 also mentioned some precautions, and Su Mi secretly took note of them.

After leaving the doctor's office, the two of them 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 a chance to thank Xiao Xuanjin, so he spoke up now, "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 won’t be affected when he sees that they are getting along well.

I'm really grateful that he was willing to 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 you're not, why are you being so polite to me?"

His words invisibly filled her heart with hopeless expectations for love.

With her hands hanging at her side, she struggled for a while before finally mustering up the courage to reach into his palm and hold it, "Xiao Xuanjin, if you... do this, I will misunderstand..."

You know, theirs is a marriage by agreement, there's really no need for him to go this far.

She felt she owed him more and more.

"What's the misunderstanding?"

Xiao Xuanjin lowered her eyes and glanced at the two people's intertwined hands. This was the first time in such a long time that she took the initiative while she was awake.

It's been a long time since I saw her approach him on her own initiative.

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

Su Mi could clearly hear her own heartbeat, like the sound of a drum, "It was a misunderstanding... that we were a real couple."

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