Neither Nangong Hao nor Gu Yi'an drank alcohol.
Several dishes were laid out on the table, along with a seaweed, lean pork, and egg soup.
Gu Yi'an knew that Nangong Hao had come to see his son.
After some hesitation, Nangong Hao finally spoke, "Ajin protected Changge, you don't need to feel guilty, it's what he should do. I saw that video, Ajin does care about Changge. I don't expect you to forgive him, but could you give him a chance to atone?"
In the past, Gu Yi'an would definitely have held a grudge.
He didn't believe that Nangong Jin could bring Changge happiness.
He couldn't forgive Nangong Jin for the hurt he had caused Changge.
He also saw the video from last night.
At the critical moment, Nangong Jin disregarded his own safety and vowed to protect Changge even at the cost of his life.
Without Nangong Jin, the consequences might have been unimaginable.
In total, he not only saved Changge, but also many other people, preventing the situation from worsening.
For this reason alone, he respected him as a true man, and finally saw his sense of responsibility.
After taking a sip of soup, Gu Yi'an spoke.
"I respect Changge and her choice. I won't say anything more."
"You don't object to them being together?"
"Don't say it too soon. I just feel sorry for my daughter and think that she has grown up and knows how to make choices. She should be able to distinguish between a good and a bad person. Changge is more mature and stable than before. I believe she knows what she wants and what kind of person is suitable for her."
“In the past, Ajin was willful. Now, he knows what responsibility is and won’t act recklessly anymore.”
"We are not them, so let's leave it to fate. We shouldn't interfere; let them choose for themselves. They are all adults and should know their limits. Too much interference from outsiders might influence their choices and their rationality."
Nangong Hao nodded, agreeing with Gu Yi'an's words.
"Regardless, I still want to apologize to you."
"Don't bring up the past anymore; it's too painful and makes it hard to move on."
Nangong Hao stopped talking and started eating.
He even picked up a teacup, using tea instead of wine, and toasted with Gu Yi'an.
Gu Yi'an had figured it out, and he was relieved.
...
After finishing his meal, Gu Yi'an went home.
He has surgery early tomorrow morning, so he needs to get a good rest tonight.
After parting ways with Gu Yi'an, Nangong Hao went to his son's hospital room.
Upon seeing her grandfather, Rui Rui called out "Grandpa" in her childish voice.
Nangong Hao picked him up and kissed his cheek.
"You've been here all day, go home and take a shower, okay?"
Rui Rui blinked her big eyes, looked at her grandfather, and asked, "Where's Daddy?"
“Dad still needs to be hospitalized and can’t go home. Grandpa will stay here with Dad. You all go back and rest. Come back to visit Dad tomorrow morning.”
“Dad’s hand will hurt when he gets a shot.”
“Dad is a man, he doesn’t feel pain, and he’s very brave.”
Rui Rui didn't speak, she just looked at her mother.
It was quite late, and her son should go home. Gu Changge said, "You and your grandparents go home. I'll stay here. I'm used to working the night shift."
Nangong Jin continued, "No, you all should go back and get some rest. I can manage on my own tonight, no need to stay with me. There are nurses here. If I need to do something, I can just press the call button. You really don't need to worry about me, these are just minor injuries."
Gu Changge: "These aren't just superficial wounds. There are two, and the wounds are quite deep; they both need stitches."
Su Rui: "Changge, let's take Rui Rui back. Let his dad keep him company. The two of them can chat for a while, and it will pass quickly. If he gets sleepy, he can sleep on the sofa. It's fine."
Nangong Jin chimed in, "Changge, you should go back. You have to go to work tomorrow, and the patients don't want to see Dr. Gu in a bad mental state."
After hesitating for a moment, Gu Changge nodded.
Afterwards, she, Nangong Jin's mother, and son went back first.
...
Gu Changge and her son lay in bed, she held him and coaxed him to sleep.
The little guy still had something to say.
"Mom, isn't Dad a hero? He's very amazing, isn't he?"
Gu Changge smiled and said, "Yes! He is not only a hero, but also very capable. He really is saving people."
"I want to save people like my dad does; I want to be a hero too."
"Yes! From now on, Rui Rui should study hard."
"I understand, I will try my best. I am the older brother, and I will protect my younger siblings."
"Mom believes you'll be a good older brother!"
"Okay, I'm going to sleep now. Goodnight, Mom, I love you!"
Goodnight, my sweetheart, Mommy loves you too!
As soon as she finished speaking, Gu Changge kissed her son's cheek.
She really loves the little one in her arms.
Fortunately, she came back early, otherwise she would have missed his growth period, otherwise she would have really regretted it.
...
When Nangong Jin needed to use the restroom, his father gently helped him up. His father even fetched water for him to wash his face and wipe his body. Nangong Jin was very touched!
When he wanted to drink water, his father poured it for him and even brought it to his lips.
His father is quite old, with gray hair, yet he still takes such good care of him despite the hardship. He feels quite guilty about it.
"Dad, I was so immature before. I always made you and Mom angry and caused you worry. I'm so sorry."
Nangong Hao smiled with relief and said, "Father and son, there's no need for such formalities! Now that you're more sensible, your mother and I can rest assured. I've talked to Yi'an, and he doesn't object to you being with Changge, but it depends on your behavior. You not only have to be good to Changge, but you also have to love her, protect her, and never make her sad or upset again."
Nangong Jin smiled, "I know, I won't make the same mistakes again. I will definitely treat Changge well, and I've decided to spend my whole life with her and love her forever. If there is an afterlife, I will still find her and never let her suffer any harm again, only making her happy every day."
After hesitating for a moment, Nangong Hao said, "I saw Zhou Hui at the hospital entrance and stopped her."
"That woman is really wicked. I guess she's jealous of Changge and wants to stir up trouble."
"Is she still going to keep pestering me?"
“Dad, I will handle it. I will never have anything to do with her again. We have nothing to do with each other anymore.”
"It's not enough for me to just trust you. You need to earn the trust of both Yi'an and Changge. You need to make Yi'an feel that entrusting her daughter to you is worthwhile. Don't let them down."
"I know, I understand. Dad, thank you for your guidance. You and Mom have worked so hard."
"Seeing you happy is what we really want."
"Um!"
...
While her father was in the bathroom, Nangong Jin sent Jiang Zhi a voice message on WeChat.
He would never see Zhou Hui again, would never get involved with her, and would never let her hurt Changge. He asked Jiang Zhi to deal with Zhou Hui.
Jiang Zhi: "I'll take care of it for you, but I won't hold back."
