Actually, it's because someone couldn't outmaneuver their father-in-law =_=.
"Your father is very worried about you," Qin Yu suddenly said.
"..."
"When he and Yi Bei brought you here yesterday, he carried you into the operating room the whole time and then waited outside. He looked terrible, and his expression only softened after he heard that you were alright."
Later, when you were lying in the hospital bed, he sat beside you and stayed by your side. I specifically asked the nurse to arrange an empty bed for him to rest in, but he refused and wouldn't leave your side even for a moment.
"..." Ji Zhinan was stunned.
A sound came from the bathroom. Li Yuan brought out a basin of hot water, and Qin Yu cleverly changed the subject immediately.
"You have wounds, so you can't eat oily or spicy food. That's why I had someone buy you some congee with preserved egg and lean pork. Their food is very clean, so you don't need to worry about hygiene and safety. Remember to eat it while it's hot. You'll have a full body check-up this afternoon, and once we've confirmed that everything is fine, you can be discharged."
After saying that, Qin Yu turned to Li Yuan and nodded: "Mr. Warrens, I'll go take care of my work now. Just press the call button if you need anything."
"Mm," Li Yuan replied.
Qin Yu wisely left the ward, and thoughtfully closed the door behind him.
After all, it's inevitable that the father and daughter will be awkward when they first meet. It would be hypocritical for them to be all lovey-dovey on their first meeting.
Ji Zhinan has never been good at expressing her feelings, and even though she cares deeply for Li Yuan, she doesn't know how to act. Gu Yibei understands Ji Zhinan, which is why he reluctantly gave Li Yuan ample opportunities to express himself, thus strengthening the bond between father and daughter.
Li Yuan placed the bowl on the table and noticed the preserved egg and lean pork congee that Qin Yu had brought. He looked at Ji Zhinan with affection and asked gently, "Shall we wash our faces before we eat?"
"..." Ji Zhinan pursed her thin lips.
Li Yuan tacitly acknowledged her agreement, rolled up his shirt sleeves, and soaked a clean towel in hot water.
The hot water was still a bit too hot, and his long, handsome hands were red from the heat. Li Yuan seemed oblivious, and after wetting the towel, he wrung it out with both hands until it was dry before using the steaming hot towel to wipe Ji Zhinan's face.
Feeling the heat rising on his face, Ji Zhinan closed his eyes.
Li Yuan moved with extreme care, as if handling a precious and fragile treasure. Every movement was incredibly gentle; he had never shown such a serious expression even when signing contracts worth hundreds of millions.
After wiping Ji Zhinan's face, he washed the towel and wiped her hands.
After a quick clean-up, Li Yuan threw the towel into the basin, then carried the basin to the bathroom to empty the water.
Ji Zhinan watched his retreating figure.
"dad."
This was the first thing she said. Although her voice wasn't loud, Li Yuan heard it clearly.
"..." Li Yuan's body trembled, and he stiffly turned his head to meet Ji Zhinan's clear and beautiful eyes.
“Good boy…” His voice trembled and became hoarse, his reason desperately suppressing his excited heart.
No one could understand his feelings at that moment; his heart was pounding so hard it felt like it could jump out of his chest at any moment.
His daughter has accepted him!
After pouring out the water, Li Yuan quickly came out and sat by the hospital bed, opening the porridge that Qin Yu had brought.
Qin Yu bought it at the perfect time; the porridge was still steaming hot and a little too hot.
Li Yuan took a spoon, scooped up a spoonful of hot porridge, blew away the steam, and carefully brought it to her lips. Ji Zhinan obediently ate it.
With each bite Ji Zhinan took, Li Yuan's smile deepened.
