Jiang Tingzhou gave his answer quickly, and it was the same as what Gong Yanli had thought.
He said, "Alright, just wait to drink your wife's wedding wine."
At this time, Xiaoxiao had already taken children's fever-reducing medicine upstairs, and her temperature had been brought under control.
Although St. Hee Hospital is a private hospital, it does not prescribe medication for children indiscriminately, and will not proactively administer intravenous drips unless the temperature is not too high.
After Xiaoxiao fell asleep, Xu Wan glanced at her watch and said to Gu Qing, "Thank you for tonight. You should go back and rest early. I'll take a nap in the ward for a while too, since I have to go to work tomorrow."
"I'm not sleepy." Gu Qing looked at Xiao Xiao, who was fast asleep on the bed, and said in a low voice, "I'm off tomorrow, you go to sleep, I'll stay here with her."
“She won’t wake up.” Xu Wan stood up from the chair. “I’ll take you downstairs.”
Since Xu Wan had already said that, Gu Qing couldn't insist on staying any longer.
He stood up and said, "No need, you stay and keep Xiaoxiao company. She might worry if she wakes up and can't see you. I can go downstairs by myself."
Even though Gu Qing said that, Xu Wan still insisted on seeing the man to the elevator.
-
Gu Qing took the elevator downstairs.
As he left the inpatient department and reached the entrance to the ground-level parking lot, a black Mercedes-Benz van drove in from outside the gate.
Gu Qing didn't pay attention at first, until the van came to a stop and the back door opened but no one got out. It wasn't until the driver walked around from the driver's seat and set up a professional board that someone slowly got out of the car.
The night was dimly lit, and with the help of the not-so-bright lights in the parking lot, Gu Qing could make out who it was.
It's Ryan.
Given his identity, his presence here at this time is definitely not a surprise.
Just then, another person walked over from a distance.
It was Gong Yanli, whom he and Xu Wan had just met.
"I told you you'd have to come," Gong Yanli said as they walked. "I bet that guy is still upstairs. We don't have security cameras in our ward, so we can't see what a man and a woman doing alone in the ward."
Gu Qingli and the other person were not very close.
Fortunately, the night was too quiet, and he could hear everything Gong Yanli said without much effort.
After getting out of the car, Ryan paused for a few seconds before saying, "I didn't come to see her; I'm not feeling well."
"...Okay, go register yourself."
Clearly, Miyahiko was also helpless.
Gu Qing had some doubts before. If even an outsider like him could guess that Ryan was Jiang Tingzhou, Xu Wanhe must know it too.
Why didn't the two of them reconcile?
He now guessed a bit; it was probably Jiang Tingzhou's health problem, and he didn't want to delay Xu Wan.
Miyanoko left first.
Jiang Tingzhou sat there alone in his wheelchair, seemingly struggling with his thoughts.
Gu Qing watched for a long time. Just as Jiang Tingzhou's wheelchair moved a little towards the inpatient department, he stepped out of the shadows and blocked the man's way.
Upon seeing this, Jiang Tingzhou's driver immediately got out of the car and ran over to protect him.
"No need, I know them."
Jiang Tingzhou gestured for the driver to stop and turn back into the car.
Since Gu Qing was already there, he didn't bother to hide anything and said directly, "President Jiang, it's been a long time."
Jiang Tingzhou wasn't surprised. "Thank you, President Gu, for helping Wanwan today..."
"President Jiang, by what right do you call her Wanwan?" Gu Qing interrupted Jiang Tingzhou directly. "You are the least qualified person to call her so intimately."
Jiang Tingzhou assumed that Xu Wan had told Gu Qing everything that had happened between them.
He didn't speak, and Gu Qing continued, "President Jiang, you've been missing for so many years. My junior sister rejected everyone's advances and kept waiting for you to come back. Xiao Xiao has been in poor health since she was a child. When Xiao Xiao was sick, she took care of her day and night and had to work the rest of the time. She became incredibly thin during those years, but she still refused my help. She has worked so hard as a single mother, all thanks to you!"
Gu Qing spoke each word clearly, leaving Jiang Tingzhou with no power to refute her.
Gu Qing took a few steps forward and stood in front of Jiang Tingzhou. He continued, "After all these years, because of my perseverance, her attitude towards me finally changed somewhat, but then you came back. Not only did you come back, but you didn't even tell her. You just watched her suffer so much without doing anything. Since that's the case..." He lowered his voice and said, "Can you please let her go? I promise to take good care of her and not let her suffer any more grievances."
