Chapter 457 Speak for Him
Su Qian slept soundly and when he woke up it was already noon.
She sat up and looked at the blanket covering her body, knowing that it was Jinanci who covered her with it.
She rubbed her aching temples, threw off the blanket, got out of bed and went to the bathroom to wash up.
After coming out, she saw only a pair of men's slippers left at the door, and she knew that Jinan had left for work.
I walked into the kitchen and saw two plates on the marble countertop.
One contained a fried egg, and the other contained a slice of toasted bread sprinkled with sugar.
A sticky note was stuck on the countertop.
It says: The milk is in the refrigerator, heat it up if you want to drink it. I have to go to Lincheng on a business trip today, for about a week.
Su Qian picked up the bread slice and took a bite. It was sweet, but a little sour in her heart.
For the next week, there was no contact between the two, no text messages or phone calls.
Jinanci is as busy as a top, attending meetings, consulting, and technical discussions, and he doesn't rest until around nine o'clock every night.
The same goes for Su Qian. She keeps herself busy and devotes herself to work so that she doesn't have to think about an impossible man all the time.
The week is over quickly.
That day, just after Ji Nanci got off the plane, he received a call from Mrs. Ji, asking them to return to the old house for dinner in the evening.
Since the marriage was still going on, the two had to cooperate well, so he called Su Qian instead.
Su Qian was a little surprised when he received the call. "You, are back?"
"Well, we just got off the plane and grandma asked us to go back for dinner in the evening."
Su Qian put down the document in his hand and said, "Okay, what time?"
"Five o'clock."
Su Qian looked at the time and it was already four o'clock in the afternoon. "I'll pick you up at the airport. Let's go back to the old house together."
"Okay, I'll wait for you then."
After hanging up the phone, Su Qian lowered her eyes and said, "Then I'll wait for you." How great it would be if she really waited for him.
She took a deep breath, closed the document, took her car keys and bag, left the company, and drove to the airport.
Because there was no traffic jam, she got a call from Jinan Ci half an hour later.
Glancing at the man with bruises on his face, Su Qian felt distressed. "Didn't you get enough rest?"
Jinan closed his eyes and nodded, "I'm busy analyzing cases and attending consultations from morning till night. I'm a little tired."
"Go to bed early tonight, or take a day off tomorrow."
Jinan sighed and said, "I have an operation tomorrow and I need to perform it myself."
Su Qian turned the steering wheel to the right, "Why don't you go home and take over the Ji Group?"
"I don't like it. Although being a doctor is hard and involves certain risks, I enjoy it." Jinanci chuckled, "I am very persistent in the career I like."
Su Qian tightened her grip on the steering wheel. This sentence seemed to be saying that I am also persistent towards the person I like.
She took a deep breath, a self-deprecating arc appearing at the corner of her mouth.
Yes, Ji Nanci is affectionate, so she likes him more.
She wouldn't like someone who was heartless and disloyal.
But it's really a pity that there is someone living in his heart, a position that she can never reach.
Neither of them spoke until they reached the old house.
After getting off the car, Su Qian took Ji Nanci's arm and said, "Let's work together well in the remaining three months."
Looking at those slender fingers, Ji Nanci did not shake them off, and the two of them walked in together.
The old man and the old lady smiled happily when they saw the visitor.
"Come here, Xiao Qian. Grandma will peel an apple for you."
Su Qian put down her hand, walked to the sofa and sat next to the old lady, "Thank you, grandma."
Ji Nanci picked the person up and said, "Go wash your hands."
Su Qian stuck out her tongue, "Okay, got it."
She quickly ran into the bathroom to wash her hands. Ji Nanci leaned against the door frame and said, "My grandpa and grandma like you very much."
"Well, I'll come and see them when I have time this week. My grandparents passed away early, so I feel very close to them when I see them." Su Qian wiped her hands with a disposable tissue and walked past him.
Ji Nanci watched her walk past him and grabbed her arm, "Have we met somewhere before?"
Su Qian didn't want to be hypocritical, she shook her head, "No, that blind date was the first time we met."
Jinan frowned, he always felt that he had seen her somewhere.
After washing his hands, he walked into the living room and watched Su Qian peeling apples for the old lady with a fruit knife.
"Xiao Qian is such a good boy. It was obviously grandma who wanted to peel the apples for you, but you peeled them for grandma instead."
The old lady was so happy that she couldn't stop smiling.
Su Qian curled her lips slightly and continued peeling the apples.
Her hands were not big, but the apple was quite big, so she looked a little strained holding it.
At this time, Ji Nanci stretched out his hand, "Let me do it."
He took the apple and the fruit knife, sat on the sofa opposite him and peeled the apple gracefully. The peel slowly fell to the ground until there was a snap, and a complete apple peel fell off.
He cut the apple into two, giving half to the old lady and the other half to Su Qian.
The old lady sighed and said, "I am really blessed by Xiao Qian. This is the first time I have eaten apples peeled by Nan Ci. His hands are so exquisite. They are the hands used for surgery."
Ji Nanci smiled gently, "Grandma always makes fun of me. I'm usually busy, so I don't come back often, and you don't always eat apples."
The old lady took a bite of the apple and said, "Okay, okay, you are the most polite!"
Su Qian looked at the apple in her hand and took a bite. It was especially sweet. Although she didn't like apples very much, she thought this apple was delicious.
After a while, Ji's father and mother came back from the company, and the family gathered and prepared to have dinner.
During this time, Father Ji looked at Ji Nanci and asked, "When are you going to hold your wedding?"
Ji Nanci paused holding his chopsticks, and just as he was about to say something, Su Qian spoke first, "There's no rush for that. Nanci and I are both very busy lately."
"Busy, busy, busy. Make some money from the hospital and come back to take over Ji's." Ji's father looked unhappy. He had always been upset that Ji Nanci refused to take over Ji's.
Ji Nanci put down his chopsticks and said, "I love medicine, curing diseases and saving lives is my mission. It's good enough as long as I have enough money to spend."
"This is outrageous! I'm already this old, and I still have to manage such a big company. Do you want to tire me to death?" Father Ji smashed the chopsticks on Ji Nanci's face, "You're married now, do you want your wife to live a poor life with you? Xiao Qian can take over the company, what about you?"
Ji Nanci gritted his teeth, stood up and left.
Su Qian stood up quickly and said, "Mom, Dad, Grandpa and Grandma, I want to say that it's a good thing that Nan Ci has a career he likes. His achievements in the medical field are obvious to all, and I believe he will not give up the company, but I hope you can understand him." After that, she ran out.
Watching the man's stubborn back walking towards the hollow gate.
Su Qian started the car and followed. She rolled down the window and said, "Nan Ci, get in the car."
Jinan paused, remained silent for a while, and then got into the car.
Su Qian parked the car by the sea, rolled down the windows, and the fishy and salty sea breeze blew past.
Jinan lit a cigarette, took two puffs, and then placed his fingertips on the car window frame. The white smoke drifted away with the sea breeze.
"I practice medicine, am I wrong?"
