Chapter 458: Chapter 432: Gritting Teeth (Thanks to Love Across the Shore for the Heshibi +2 updates)

In fact, Yu Minglang asked Uncle Liu to bring up the topic of remarriage at the right time. If the atmosphere was good, he would try to probe Professor Liu’s thoughts and give hints that remarriage would be good for the child.

However, seeing Professor Liu lying on the bed looking frail, with the infusion plaster on her hand not yet torn off, Uncle Liu couldn’t bring himself to say it. He feels that he doesn’t have the qualifications to talk about fixing the broken family and causing her so much suffering.

“What did Gangdan ask you to do?”

“Nothing… You just focus on getting better, don’t worry. I’ll take care of our son for 3 days, and I won’t let him be in any danger.” After finishing, he left the room hastily as if someone was chasing him. As the door closed, they both felt depressed but helpless.

Yu Minglang wanted Xiao Qian to go with him, but she couldn’t leave as the teacher was still in the hospital, and she had to stay overnight to keep her company.

“What time will you be heading into the mountains tomorrow morning?” Xiao Qian asked.

“6 o’clock, I need to get into the mountains and then set up the exam venue.”

The exam venue was in the mountains, and all the set-ups had to be checked one by one. It could be torturous to people, but safety had to be ensured to the maximum. The radio station would broadcast this special reality show recruitment event in its entirety.

The broadcast not only ensured viewership for the radio station but also served as a form of promotion for Ming Lang’s company. His mental prowess was always amazing.

It was too early, there was no time for any mischief. Xiao Qian thought for a moment and asked again.

“Will you have time after the assessment?” It would be nice to have 2 or 3 hours, she wanted to spend more time with Xiao Qiang.

“No, after the assessment, I have to take the qualified ones back to the company, and then it’s formal on-the-job training for them. It’s going to be non-stop.” Yu Minglang answered through gritted teeth.

Why did time have to be so mischievous? When he returned to the company with the newcomers, he would have to deal with the shareholders again.

It was so difficult just to get a bite of meat, who did he offend?

Seeing Uncle Liu walk out of the inpatient department, Yu Minglang knew that he had to part with Xiao Qian. He was reluctant but had no choice, so he took the opportunity to take a few more glances at his beloved girl while Uncle Liu was still not close by.

“What’s wrong with Xiao Qian?” Uncle Liu came over and noticed that Xiao Qian’s expression was off.

It seemed like she was uncomfortable?

Yu Minglang glanced at Xiao Qian and said very seriously, “She’s not feeling well outside. Female comrades always have various troubles.”

Xiao Qian really wanted to spit at him. The discomfort she had as a female comrade was because he had no shame… Bah!

This time they separated, it was estimated that they would not see each other again for a long time. Xiao Qian watched Yu Minglang leave with longing eyes, while Yu Minglang kept looking back with every step he took.

Little did they know that they would actually see each other again soon. There were always unexpected surprises waiting for them not far away. Life was always full of miracles, but that’s another story.

Generally, Boss Qian wouldn’t serve others, but if it was to keep her sick benefactor’s bed, she would make an exception.

It was late at night, and after Xiao Qian sent her last message to Yu Minglang, she set her alarm, turned off her phone, and went to bed. Professor Liu was already asleep in the other bed.

She and Xiao Qiang had spent more than three hours texting each other with no substantial content, just like all men and women in love, saying sweet nothings that made each other happy.

Xiao Qian got out of bed and covered her teacher with a blanket before going back to her own bed to sleep.

When Professor Liu woke up the next morning, Xiao Qian had already brought breakfast back.

“I’ll go through the discharge procedures in a while. I have some business in the afternoon,” Professor Liu said while eating breakfast with Xiao Qian.

“I’ve already called my class adviser, and your project will be put on hold for two days. You should rest and recuperate in the hospital during this time. I’ve asked the doctor, and you can’t be overworked right now.”

“It’s not necessary. I know about my body.”

“You know but still fainted? Heart disease is not a small matter. Stay here two more days for observation and a full-body check-up. If you go back now, there’s no one at home anyway. Liu Li is taken into the mountains by Master.”

“Really took the child?” Professor Liu didn’t think he was serious.

This old man has changed a lot. It’s not something he would do; she thought he was just talking.

“Yes, Minglang called me this morning. He will keep an eye on Master and Liu Li all the time, and he won’t let Liu Li be in danger. Teacher, people can change. Master has changed too. Why don’t you give him a chance?”

“Why do you always side with that old man when you’re my student?” Professor Liu glared at Xiao Qian.

“Look at you, your temper is so bad. It’s no wonder you haven’t made many friends over these years. You still need me to take care of you when you’re sick…”

Professor Liu’s life seemed pathetic, as no one was there to keep her company.

“If you don’t want to stay, go back to school. Stop meddling in other people’s family affairs!”

Professor Liu had a big temper, and everyone was afraid of her, but Xiao Qian wasn’t. This was called being spoiled.

“How is it your family affair? I’m also doing it for my fiancé’s safety!”

“What does it have to do with Yu Gangdan?”

“My Gangdan is still in Master’s hands. If he’s not in good condition, my Gangdan will be crushed. With a harmonious family, he can focus on the company. Look at how well Master is doing, even taking care of the child.”

Xiao Qian pushed the porridge into Professor Liu’s view, with the sticky porridge reflecting a scheming light.

“Who else will take care of his child if not him? Don’t mention him in front of me! I’ll be discharged in a while. I have an appointment with a patient at noon.” Under Xiao Qian’s gaze, Professor Liu drank the bowl of plain porridge.

After eating, Professor Liu tidied up and was about to go through the discharge procedures when she saw Xiao Qian staring at her phone.

“Steel Cannon, what are you looking at? Waiting for a call?”

“No, I’m looking at the time. It’s almost an hour.” Xiao Qian had been looking and felt that it was about time.

“An hour of what?” Professor Liu didn’t understand what she was talking about.

“The medicine is about to take effect… Teacher, are you sleepy?” Xiao Qian asked with a smile.

As soon as Xiao Qian said it, Professor Liu really felt sleepy. Her eyelids were sticking together, making her feel like she had been staying up for a long time and could not open her eyes.

“A little bit…” Strange, why was she so sleepy?

“Why don’t you lie down and rest for a while? I’ll go through the discharge procedures and come to wake you up when they’re done.”

“Alright.” Professor Liu was really sleepy, and she thought she might not have gotten enough rest the night before.

Seeing the teacher lie down and fall asleep, Xiao Qian put away her phone, covered Professor Liu with a blanket, and looked very considerate and well-behaved.

“Teacher, a well-intentioned lie can be forgiven, so you’ll forgive me for drugging you, right? If not, there’s nothing I can do. The doctor said you need to rest for two more days.”

So, everything is for the teacher’s own good. Xiao Qian prayed silently, hoping that the hot-tempered teacher wouldn’t wake up and slap her face all over. After all… she needed face too!
