On the other end of the phone, Luo Jun's voice was full of laughter, but it was not just teasing.
When she heard his question, Chu Xiaochen realized that she hadn't even said a word of love to him for so long.
He helped her do things she wanted and didn't dare to ask for, things she wanted but couldn't ask for, and things she hadn't even thought of.
This man was very domineering, but also extremely gentle. How could she not like how he pampered her like this?
Lifting his gaze, squinting at the warm sun in the sky, Chu Xiaochen slowly uttered two words.
"like."
That man was like the sun in the sky. She might sometimes ignore his existence, but he never did. Regardless of whether she felt it or not, he was constantly giving her light and warmth.
Protect her, guard her.
On the other end of the phone, Luo Jun smiled happily.
Although he asked this question, he liked her straightforward answer.
"Mr. Luo." Han Qing carefully opened the door and walked in, "It's time."
"Okay." Luo Jun responded with a smile, "I'll be right away."
Knowing that he was going to have a meeting, Chu Xiaochen said hurriedly, "You're busy, I'll hang up now and call you later."
After hanging up the phone, she raised the corners of her lips and just took a few steps forward when her phone rang again.
Seeing the unfamiliar number that looked familiar, she hurriedly answered the call, "Mr. Qiao?"
"Are you done? I'll pick you up now?"
"Where are you? Shall I go find you?"
"I'm near XX College." Qiao Haoting said the name of her school.
"What a coincidence!" Chu Xiaochen laughed, "I happen to be nearby. Please tell me the specific location and I will go there."
"I'm right opposite the college. I got off the street and walked fifty meters forward. I got a black Volvo."
"Okay, I'll be there right away. Please wait for me for a while."
Chu Xiaochen trotted out of the school and crossed the overpass. Sure enough, not far forward, he saw a black Mercedes parked on the side of the road.
When she walked over, Qiao Haoting, who was sitting in the back seat, had already got out of the car. Looking at Chu Xiaochen walking down the overpass, he vaguely saw his young daughter again.
A pair of old eyes were covered with mist.
Chu Xiaochen stopped in front of him, "Mr. Qiao, I've been waiting for a long time."
Qiao Haoting narrowed his eyes, suppressed the emotions in his heart, and smiled gently, "As I said last time, you don't have to be so polite. From now on...just call me Grandpa Qiao."
Chu Xiaochen smiled and held his arm, "Then let's get in the car?"
Although this was the third time the two met, Chu Xiaochen felt very close to this old man and did not feel unfamiliar.
"good!"
Qiao Haoting smiled and patted her arm, and got into the car with her. The black Volvo immediately drove into the driveway.

…
Inside the hospital.
Gu Chi stood in the ward with a frown, and Qin Wanwan sat beside the hospital bed, her eyebrows also furrowed tightly.
On the hospital bed, Lu Wanrong leaned on the back of the bed with a pale face, staring out the window, seemingly in a trance.
"Sister-in-law, things are already like this, so don't be sad anymore." Qin Wanwan handed the porridge bowl in her hand to Lu Wanrong, "If you don't eat or drink like this, you will destroy your body.
Come, let’s have some porridge?”
Lu Wanrong turned around and glanced at Qin Wanwan with a pair of swollen eyes like peaches, "Wanwan, thank you, I... don't have any appetite."
