This young man looks quite young, but he seems to be a little slow on the uptake.
Gu Yibei's smile was somewhat awkward, and he didn't know what to say for a moment, creating an awkward atmosphere in the air.
For the first time, Young Master Gu felt that smiling was truly exhausting, especially when he felt the murderous glare from his father-in-law beside him; his smile was about to crumble.
"Nan Nan has only been awake for a short time and is still very weak. What if you, a grown man, hurt her by being so reckless?"
Li Yuan said these words with a sour tone, and then righteously slapped away Gu Yibei's hand that was touching Ji Zhinan's head.
Gu Yibei: "..."
Li Yuan looked at Gu Yibei with a forced smile: "Young Master Gu, my daughter has just gone through all this and is very weak. You should be able to understand how much I love my daughter, right?"
"..." Since his father-in-law had said that, even if Young Master Gu was right, he was no longer in the right. He was forced to force a smile: "Yes... I understand..."
What else can I say? Fight my father-in-law to the bitter end?
Let's just forget about it. After all, he's my wife's father. We haven't even gotten the marriage certificate yet, so I don't have the confidence to argue with my father-in-law.
Seeing that Gu Yibei was somewhat sensible, Li Yuan's expression softened considerably, but he still looked at Gu Yibei with disdain: "It's good that Young Master Gu understands."
"Hehe, hehe..."
Without a marriage certificate, Gu Yibei was clearly lacking in confidence and dared not openly confront his handsome father-in-law. He could only cleverly try to start a conversation with his wife.
"Qin Yu has already given the instructions. We'll have a full check-up later, and once we're sure there are no problems, we can be discharged."
He gazed at Ji Zhinan with tender eyes and smiled at her: "The New Year is just around the corner. My mother has been thinking about you. I haven't told her about this yet. I'll call her when I get back."
As soon as he finished speaking, Gu Yibei felt the gaze behind him become even more piercing...
Ji Zhinan was unaware of the subtle power struggle between the two men. When Gu Yibei mentioned Madam Gu, she said, "It's early morning in Y country now. I'll call my mother in a bit."
After all, Madam Gu doted on Ji Zhinan like her own daughter, and Ji Zhinan respected her as if she were her own mother.
"Cough cough!" Li Yuan coughed loudly, stood up and said, "Let's get the check-up done first, we can talk about it after we're discharged."
He leaned down slightly to look at his beloved daughter, and before Gu Yibei could speak, he said first, "Daddy will go with you."
Gu Yibei, who was just about to say he wanted to accompany his wife for a full-body checkup, was speechless.
Ji Zhinan subconsciously looked up at Gu Yibei, who was frozen in place. Li Yuan followed her gaze and said with a half-smile, "I'm accompanying my daughter for a check-up. Young Master Gu shouldn't mind, right?"
"..." Gu Yibei choked, meeting his father-in-law's incredibly "loving" gaze. He forced a smile and answered.
"Of course not, we are all family. Dad, it's only right that you accompany Nan Nan to the check-up. You just recognized Nan Nan, you should spend more time together."
Gu Yibei's "Dad" came out exceptionally smoothly. Li Yuan frowned. Although he was somewhat displeased, he didn't openly refute Gu Yibei for his daughter's sake.
In any case, before I showed up, it was always this brat who took care of his precious daughter.
Even so, he just didn't really like this guy surnamed Gu.
