"Report to the Commander! Wang Tao, an officer from the Cadre Department of the 3rd Regiment of the 12th Division of the 718th Army, has come with Captain Lu's family to report!"
"Thank you for your hard work along the way!"
Fan Yingguang nodded to the two of them and his eyes fell on Shao Jingque who was standing next to Wang Tao.
Shao Jingque also greeted him politely:
"Hello, Chief!"
At first glance, I found that this little girl was very beautiful. Even though she was covered in dust, it could not hide her exquisite appearance. There was a faint smile on the corners of her rosy mouth, and her big eyes were clear and transparent, accepting Fan Yingguang's gaze with clarity and openness.
Her graceful and elegant temperament made Fan Yingguang nod secretly. He didn't expect that Lu Zhan, a taciturn man, had such a good eye for choosing a wife!
He had previously heard Political Commissar Liu say that Lu Zhan's family member was a singer in the art troupe, named Shao Jingque. He had felt a little skeptical, as he always felt that artists were somewhat pampered and might not be able to endure the hardships of being a military family member.
Until now, Shao Jingque only took three days to stand in front of him, exhausted, without complaining about the hardship or tiredness. He stood there neither humble nor arrogant, which immediately changed Fan Yingguang's preconceived notion.
"You've all had a hard time traveling all this way! So, Wang Tao, take Xiao Shao to the military district guesthouse and settle him down. I'll arrange for you to go to the hospital this afternoon."
Shao Jingque became anxious when she heard this. She had come all the way to Henan Province just to see Lu Zhan, but who knew she would have to wait until the afternoon? She blurted out:
"Comrade Chief, can I go to the hospital to see Lu Zhan now?"
Fan Yingguang didn't expect that she was so brave and refuted his arrangement to her face. He looked at her with some admiration. After all, not to mention ordinary people, even most of the soldiers in the army would be easily frightened in front of him. Unexpectedly, Shao Jingque was quite calm.
But before he could open his mouth, Fan Shengnan beside him spoke:
"Captain Lu just had brain surgery two days ago and is currently in the intensive care unit for post-operative observation. If there are no problems, he will be transferred to the general ward this afternoon. You won't be able to see him if you go there now."
For some reason, Fan Yingguang felt a little nervous when he heard Fan Shengnan speak, and he quickly introduced the two of them:
"By the way, Xiao Shao, this is my daughter Fan Shengnan, who is also Lu Zhan's attending physician. She knows Lu Zhan's condition best, and you won't go wrong if you follow her instructions."
When Shao Jingque heard that the short-haired female officer in front of him was Lu Zhan's attending physician, his eyes suddenly lit up and he immediately expressed his gratitude:
"Thank you, Dr. Fan. How did Lu Zhan's surgery go?"
Fan Shengnan replied indifferently:
"You're welcome. It's a doctor's duty to cure illnesses and save lives. Besides, his brain surgery wasn't performed by me. The chief neurosurgeon at our military hospital was the lead surgeon. I was just assisting."
"Captain Lu's surgery went smoothly. He has been in the sterile intensive care unit for three days without any postoperative complications. He is expected to be transferred to a regular ward this afternoon. However, the recovery time after brain surgery is relatively long, so he will still need to be hospitalized. During this time, we must pay attention to controlling his emotions and not letting him get too excited."
Shao Jingque listened carefully and nodded frequently:
"I understand. I will pay special attention to the points Dr. Fan mentioned. Is there anything I should pay special attention to in terms of diet?"
Fan Shengnan glanced at her a little longer, and unexpectedly, she was quite attentive:
"Just eat a light diet."
Seeing that Fan Shengnan was speaking normally, Fan Yingguang was relieved:
"Alright, you've all been exhausted from the journey. Go back to the guesthouse and get some rest. I'll have someone take you to the military hospital this afternoon."
The military hospital is some distance away from the headquarters. It takes nearly half an hour to get there by car, and at least two hours to walk there. Fan Yingguang plans to arrange a jeep from the headquarters to take them there.
Unexpectedly, before Shao Jingque could reply, Fan Shengnan spoke first:
"I have to go back to the hospital this afternoon, so I can pick them up on the way."
Fan Yingguang was a little surprised. Fan Shengnan has never been such an enthusiastic person. He couldn't help but speculate in his heart, wondering what his daughter was up to.
But Fan Shengnan's eyes were clear and her expression was selfless, so he couldn't say much. He could only nod in agreement.
"Okay then, you guys can go to the hospital in Shengnan's car this afternoon!"
Shao Jingque thanked her repeatedly with gratitude, but Fan Shengnan's expression remained indifferent from beginning to end:
"I'll be waiting for you at the entrance of the guesthouse at one o'clock in the afternoon."
Wang Tao first took Shao Jingque to the guesthouse.
Shao Jingque had not eaten well or slept well during the three days on the road. This was a good opportunity for him to take advantage of this break to wash up, rest for a while, and change into clean clothes.
After all, she and Lu Zhan hadn't seen each other for a long time, and she wanted to appear in front of Lu Zhan looking pretty and refreshed.
As soon as the two of them left the office, Fan Yingguang frowned at Fan Shengnan:
"How come I didn't notice that you became so helpful?"
Fan Shengnan cleared the blood pressure monitor on the table that was used to measure Fan Yingguang's blood pressure and replied calmly:
"I've always enjoyed helping others. Otherwise, why would I become a doctor?"
Fan Yingguang pretended to put on a stern face:
"Don't be so smooth-talking! You've already seen that Lu Zhan has a fiancée, and she came all the way here to take care of him. This shows that the couple has a very good relationship. Don't cause trouble for me!"
Fan Shengnan stopped what she was doing and looked up at him:
"Captain Fan, you worry too much!"
After saying that, she picked up her things, turned around and left, even ignoring Fan Yingguang who called her to stay and have lunch together.
Fan Yingguang sighed as he looked at his daughter's back. Although Fan Shengnan pretended to be free and easy on the surface, he knew that his daughter actually knew that if she didn't have someone in her heart, how could she still be single at this age?
Although he didn't know why Fan Shengnan fell in love with Lu Zhan, he knew his daughter best. Only when things related to Lu Zhan could his "cold-hearted" daughter's emotions fluctuate. He only hoped that this time, she would see the sweet and happy relationship between Lu Zhan and his wife with her own eyes and let go of her obsession...
Fan Shengnan had a stern face and walked forward quickly with her head down.
This stinky old man is always on guard against her, just like a temple is on guard against rats stealing incense oil. Could it be that in his eyes, his daughter is the kind of person who disregards propriety and morality and steals someone else's fiancé?
Besides, she heard Lu Zhan say it himself that he didn't have a fiancée at all!
Although we still don’t know the origin of Shao Jingque who suddenly appeared, but when we meet Lu Zhan in the afternoon, won’t everything be clear?
Fan Shengnan has always been decisive and walked like a man, taking fast and big steps. After a while, she met Shao Jingque again at the edge of the military training ground.
Seeing Shao Jingque also saw her and waved at her with a smile, Fan Shengnan frowned slightly, but finally slowed down and walked over:
"Why are you here alone?"
