After leaving NTU, You Tong stopped by the supermarket and bought some simple toiletries. She planned to take them with her when she went to Guangzhou. She would set off the day after tomorrow. She had prepared all the things that needed to be prepared. She lowered her head and looked at the bags in her hand.
The bag was filled with bits and pieces and a lot of things. She probably needed to bring a travel bag. She did have a travel bag. She bought it four years ago when she was in college and she still keeps it.
It's just that it's still in Hauge's residence.
She looked at the time. Although it was a bit late, she probably wouldn't have time to go there and pick it up tomorrow. After thinking about it, You Tong decided to take a detour back to Hauge's home first. At worst, she would take a taxi when she returned to Jinling Century. She thought to herself
.
It took two buses to arrive. She carried two bags of things, got off the bus, and walked towards the residential building with some difficulty.
Because there were no seats on the bus just now, she kept standing and carrying things. Her arms were a little sore from exhaustion and her shoulders could not be straightened very well, so she unconsciously lowered her head slightly when walking until she was very close.
She suddenly noticed a car parked in front of her and a person standing next to the car.
The familiar figure made her hesitate slightly. She tightened her grip on the bag in her hand, slowed down her pace, even stopped, and then she had the idea of turning around and leaving. She regretted it in her heart. She really shouldn't have come back here.
But before she could turn around, the man beside the car had already walked towards her. Liyuan Terminal settled in front of her and asked in a deep voice, "Why did you come back so late? Where have you been?!"
Li Yuanhang's tone was very low, but there was concern hidden in his tone.
It's just that You Tong couldn't understand the meaning of his words. She only remembered that on the night of Rong's 50th anniversary celebration, he insisted on dancing with her. This made her feel bored unconsciously. She lowered her eyes slightly and her attitude was cold.
He replied, "Supermarket."
Li Yuanhang could naturally feel her coldness. He narrowed his eyes slightly, a trace of light flashed across his clear pupils, and a touch of hurt emotions slipped through his eyes.
You Tong held the bag in both hands and moved his feet, obviously intending to leave, but Li Yuanhang suddenly spoke again, "Aunt Wan said you have an exam and she wants to meet you."
Hearing this, You Tong was startled. He hadn't seen his mother for a long time, and his thoughts moved unconsciously.
But facing Li Yuanhang, she still felt a little hesitant. After thinking about it, she asked softly, "Where can we meet?!"
"I'll take you there." Li Yuanhang said without answering her question.
You Tong frowned slightly and refused, "No, please tell me the address and I'll take the bus there." She didn't know whether she said this because of her rejection of Li Yuanhang, or because she suddenly remembered Rong Yuchi's words in her mind.
If so.
"It's very late now. It's not convenient for a girl like you to take the bus." Li Yuanhang also insisted that she take his car.
"There's nothing unsafe. I just came back by bus!" You Tong couldn't help but argue. What's wrong with taking the bus? Does everyone have to drive a brand-name car?! Although his words were not arrogant, they still made her feel uncomfortable.
.
Li Yuanhang frowned slightly, "Okay, I don't want to argue with you, it's getting late, let's go."
You Tong couldn't help but feel annoyed, but still didn't want to take his car. He walked to the side of the road, stopped a taxi with his hand, bent down and got in, then turned to Li Yuanhang and said, "Just lead the way, thank you."
The knot between Li Yuanhang's brows tightened slightly, and the corners of his lips moved, wanting to say something, but in the end he swallowed his words, then got into the car and led the way.
You Tong sat in the taxi and whispered to the driver, "Master, please follow the car in front."
"Okay!" the driver agreed readily.
The taxi moved forward slowly, following Li Yuanhang's car all the way to the hospital.
Hospital?!
You Tong was suddenly startled, why are you here?! Could it be your mother...
"Aunt Wan is fine, but my father is still in the hospital." Li Yuanhang said in a deep voice, stopping her random thoughts.
However, You Tong's worry did not ease much. He pursed his lips and asked with difficulty, "Uncle Li's health is not well yet..."
Li Yuanhang's expression was slightly stagnant, and he said quietly, "The first operation was not very successful. I will have a second operation tomorrow morning... The doctor said the success rate is only 50%."
You Tong's expression changed when he heard this, how could this happen?! Could Uncle Li...
"Let's go up." Li Yuanhang pressed the elevator button, and You Tong followed in anxiously.

Upstairs, in a separate ward, Li Hongtao was sitting leaning on the bedside. Zhao Wanhua was helping him peel apples. Li Hongtao frequently looked at the clock on the wall and murmured, "Why haven't you come back from the voyage? He should
You’re not confusing me, are you?!”
Zhao Wanhua stopped peeling, raised her head, and said softly, "Don't be impatient. The doctor said you can't be anxious at all because of your current physical condition. Besides, don't you understand Yuanhang's character? When did he lie to you?"
He said he would bring someone he likes to see you, and he will definitely bring him, so let’s wait a little longer, ah.”
Li Hongtao sighed, shook his head and said, "If it were before, I wouldn't be so anxious, but who knows if I can survive the operating table tomorrow. If I don't see my future daughter-in-law tonight, I'm afraid I won't be able to rest in peace."
ah!"
"Hong Tao, don't talk nonsense!" Zhao Wanhua put down the apple and fruit knife and turned to shake his hand.
Li Yuanhang held her hand and shook his head silently.
At this moment, there were light footsteps at the door of the ward, and then the door was knocked twice and then pushed open.
Li Hongtao and Zhao Wanhua turned around almost at the same time. Li Yuanhang's handsome face came into view first, and behind him, You Tong's expression was a little dazed. It was obvious that she was still immersed in the news of Li Hongtao's serious illness.
"Xiaotong?! Why are you here?!" Zhao Wanhua whispered.
Her words made You Tong freeze on the spot. He subconsciously turned to look at Li Yuanhang and asked, "What's going on?!"
Li Yuanhang calmly stood in front of Li Hongtao and Zhao Wanhua, and said seriously, "Dad, Aunt Wan, the person I like is Xiaotong, and I want to marry her."
"What?!" The three people were surprised at the same time.
You Tong looked at Li Yuanhang as if he were looking at a monster. What was he talking about?!
