Upon hearing this, Ye Mohan was immediately stunned.
He quickly realized what was happening and chuckled, saying, "Dad, that's not true. You have quite the imagination. Xue'er has been my only love in my entire life."
"Really?" Gong Beize was skeptical.
Ye Mohan nodded solemnly and seriously, "Really."
Gong Beize finally breathed a sigh of relief. "Could you be more careful with your words next time? Don't spout nonsense like 'I understand how you feel.' Wait until you actually have a daughter before saying that, so people don't misunderstand!"
Upon hearing this, Ye Mohan realized that this was where the problem lay.
He then said, "Dad, I'm talking about my sister. My parents passed away when I was very young, and my sister and I depended on each other and grew up under the care of our grandfather. And recently, we've encountered the same situation."
Thinking of this, Ye Mohan also deeply understood how Nangong Ci felt back then.
Upon hearing this, Gong Beize immediately frowned.
He had heard about Ye Mohan's family situation before, but now that he heard it, he no longer had the same indifferent attitude as before.
After all, in his eyes before, Ye Mohan was just an outstanding young man, but now that young man is his son-in-law, the feelings are naturally different.
After a moment of silence, Gong Beize said to Ye Mohan, "You've had a tough time all these years. If you and Xiaoxue get married in the future, we'll treat you like our own son, if you don't mind."
Ye Mohan felt a warmth spread through his body, as if the blood flowing through his heart had warmed up for the first time in many years.
"How could that be? I couldn't be happier."
...
the next day.
Jian Yixue got up early in the morning to prepare a medicinal meal, and woke up Dongfang Tinglan as soon as it was light to go out together.
When she arrived at the ward, Gong Beize was peeling an apple for Ye Mohan. Jian Yixue was somewhat incredulous when she saw this.
Didn't Dad have some issues with Ye Mohan before?
How come things seem to have changed so much in just one night?
Suddenly, Jian Yixue looked at Dongfang Tinglan and asked, "Mom, am I seeing things? Is Dad peeling an apple for Mo Han?"
Upon seeing this, Dongfang Tinglan smiled knowingly.
"You're not mistaken, your dad is indeed peeling an apple for Mo Han."
The commotion at the door was quickly heard by Gong Beize.
After all, Jian Yixue and the other person were speaking quite loudly, so it would be difficult for him to pretend he couldn't hear them.
Ye Mohan's eyes suddenly softened as he looked at Jian Yixue and said, "Xue'er, you've come."
A hint of unease flashed across Gong Beize's face, but he turned to look at them. "You've arrived."
Then, Jian Yixue and the other person went inside.
Jian Yixue walked straight to Ye Mohan's bedside and asked, "How are you feeling? Is anything bothering you?"
Ye Mohan shook her head gently and said, "No, everything is fine."
"That's good." Jian Yixue breathed a sigh of relief, then placed the insulated box on the bedside table. "I've prepared some medicinal food for you, eat some to replenish your nutrition."
Seeing this, Dongfang Tinglan tugged at Gong Beize's sleeve, whose skin was aching, and whispered, "Let's go out. Your daughter has cooked breakfast for you outside."
Upon hearing this, Gong Beize was overjoyed and nodded quickly.
"Okay, let's go out to eat."
Gong Beize stood up, then suddenly noticed the apple in his hand. He glanced at Ye Mohan, realizing that Ye Mohan probably wouldn't eat it now.
He then took a bite himself and followed Dongfang Tinglan out of the ward.
As the ward door closed, Ye Mohan's gaze toward Jian Yixue became increasingly tender and doting.
"Xue'er, come here."
Upon hearing this, Jian Yixue, who was serving porridge to Ye Mohan, glanced at him and said, "Wait a moment, I'll serve you a bowl of porridge."
Upon hearing this, Ye Mohan pulled Jian Yixue over, startling her so much that she had no choice but to put down what she was holding and let him pull her to lie down on the bed.
Ye Mohan nestled his head against Jian Yixue's neck, rubbing against her, the air thick with the ambiguous scent of longing.
"Xue'er, I miss you so much."
Jian Yixue felt as if she had been electrocuted, and her neck was tingling. Thinking of her parents who were just a door away, she immediately spoke.
"Stop fooling around, Mom and Dad are outside."
"I'm not making a fuss, Xue'er." Ye Mohan's low, slightly sexy voice rang out, as he continued to do whatever he wanted to Jian Yixue's neck.
"Okay, okay, you're not making a fuss. You've already hugged me, shouldn't you let go of me now? The porridge will get cold, and I got up early this morning to make it especially for you." Jian Yixue thought for a moment and came up with the perfect reason.
As expected, Ye Mohan released Jian Yixue's hand as soon as he heard this. "Okay, then drink the medicinal food first, and we'll hug again later."
Hearing that she had made it herself, how could he bear to let her achievement go to waste?
Jian Yixue sat up, ladled out a bowl of porridge, and sat down by the bed to feed him.
Ye Mohan drank three bowls in a row before he was satisfied. If Xue'er hadn't stopped him, fearing that he would have indigestion from eating too much, he wouldn't have wanted to waste Xue'er's efforts at all.
"Alright, that's about enough." After feeding the last spoonful, Jian Yixue put the bowl away.
After finishing everything, Ye Mohan hugged Jian Yixue in his arms again.
Jian Yixue couldn't refuse him, so she had no choice but to agree.
Since she was pregnant anyway, there was nothing he could do, so Jian Yixue wasn't too worried.
Ye Mohan, holding Jian Yixue, chatted casually, "How did Xue'er know where I was?"
Upon hearing this, Jian Yixue understood what he meant.
"I had a nightmare and felt uneasy, so I secretly drove out by myself." Jian Yixue said this with a hint of guilt.
The sound became much quieter.
Hearing this, Ye Mohan frowned but did not interrupt Jian Yixue.
Not hearing Ye Mohan's voice, Jian Yixue felt much relieved and continued speaking.
"Later, I couldn't stop worrying about you, so I asked Lin Yi to check on your whereabouts. Then Lin Yi sent me a message, and Ye Yi also found me. We went together to the place where you had the accident."
“I saw sparks flying in the sky and the helicopter crash with my own eyes. I was terrified, but I knew you would keep your word and that you would be waiting for me somewhere to save you.”
I forced myself to calm down and led the people into the mountains...
Jian Yixue told Ye Mohan everything.
That experience that made her feel panicked, scared, and suffocated.
After hearing this, Ye Mohan hugged Jian Yixue even tighter. "I'm sorry, it's my fault for making you worry."
“It’s all in the past. I don’t blame you. I know you have your responsibilities and obligations as a soldier.”
I just want you to know that you shouldn't act so recklessly next time. If something happens to you, how will my baby and I cope?
I've finally been given a second chance at life, but I haven't yet given you children, haven't enjoyed a few happy years together, and haven't grown old with you. If something really happens to you, what's the point of my second life?
