The old man was wearing a black tai chi suit. His hair was silver at the temples. Although he was leaning on a walking stick, his gait was very sturdy.
"Mr. Elder Li?"
When he saw who it was, Lin Wan Bai's eyes widened.
He then saw the handsome man behind him and exclaimed, "Mr. Li?"
The people who came were the Li family's outer ancestor and grandson. Elder Li was walking at the front, laughing heartily, "Haha, little girl, we meet again!"
"Why are you …" Lin Wan Bai was stunned.
The Elder Li walked to the bedside with a walking stick, and his grandson Li Jiang Nan explained, "Grandfather and I had just flown over from Hong Kong, and initially, Grandfather wanted to find you to treat us to a meal. He heard that you were hospitalized after surgery, so he directly came here!"
Lin Wan Bai could tell that these two were travel worn, old and young, and at the same time, possessed astonishing abilities towards the Elder Li.
Huo Chang Yuan had already stood up from his chair and respectively shook hands with this grandparent and granddaughter. The only difference was, he had shook hands with Li Jiang Nan for a long time, and the latter had a hidden trace of envy deep in his eyes.
The other party was an elder, so he respectfully invited them, "Elder Li, please take a seat!"
Elder Li nodded at him and walked towards the sofa by the window.
There was no tea to be made in the hospital, only two cups of plain water at the water dispenser.
Elder Li did not mind, after taking a sip, he looked at Huo Chang Yuan who was seated beside him and said, "Hutong, you have the eyes of a woman! This little girl is not bad indeed! "
"Thank you, Elder Li!" Huo Chang Yuan's thin lips curled up.
Although he was mainly praising Lin Wan Bai, he could not hide the complacency in his expression.
Elder Li waved his hand and raised his eyebrows to say something, "No need to thank me! I really like this little girl. I like her so much that I want her to be my granddaughter-in-law! "
"Puff …"
Lin Wan Bai who was about to finish the last mouthful of soup directly spat out.
Realizing that she had lost control of herself, she wiped away the mess in a fluster. She did not know whether to laugh or cry and said, "Mr. Elder Li, don't joke with me!"
"Ha ha!" Elder Li laughed and slapped his thigh.
Lin Wan Bai noticed that Huo Chang Yuan's face had already darkened.
She placed the bowl of soup on the side and took the initiative to lighten the atmosphere, "Mr. Elder Li, how many days do you want to stay here?"
"This is still hard to say! Other than cooperating with the Hauptmann's, we will also stay here for a period of time! "
"Oh, this …"
Elder Li picked up his crutch and stood up, "It's getting late today, I just got off the plane, so I wanted to find a hotel to rest. Little girl, you rest well in the hospital, I'll come see you again when I have time!"
"Mr. Elder Li, Mr. Li, take care!" she said quickly.
The grandfather-grandchild pair were also in a hurry. Lin Wan Bai had just finished performing surgery, and was still unable to get off the bed. It was Huo Chang Yuan who had gone to send the two of them off.
In the evening, after the doctor had finished his rounds, there was only one bedside lamp left.
Lin Wan Bai felt that the two of them were fated to be in the hospital. Last time, he was lying in the hospital with injuries all over, and she was taking care of him by the side.
After Huo Chang Yuan removed the suit jacket, the sleeves of his shirt were rolled up to his elbows. Under the orange light, his bronze-coloured skin looked even more charming, afraid that he would squeeze near her.
Seeing her bright eyes staring at the ceiling, his fingers caressed the back of her eyes. "You're not sleepy?"
"Maybe a little too much sleep during the day." Lin Wan Bai snickered.
"Then sleep after you're tired." Huo Chang Yuan bit his lips.
Lin Wan Bai nodded, and looked up at the ceiling once again, thinking of the guests inside the ward today, he could not help but mutter to himself, "Mr. Elder Li is really a strange old man!"
She had only met the other party a short two times, and it was also for Huo Chang Yuan's sake, so she didn't think that they would have any other interactions. She didn't expect that after the other party came from Hong Kong to the Ice City, he would actually first want to see her, and he even personally came to the hospital …
Such an action really made her feel flattered.
Huo Chang Yuan squinted, "Are you still thinking about being the grandson of others?"
This bitter tone …
Lin Wan Bai glanced at him, he could not help but laugh. Indeed, he managed to capture one of the grudges!
Afraid that it might affect her blade, she carefully turned her body, and then poked the hard muscles on his chest. She said in amusement, "Hey, Elder Li is just joking, you're really serious!"
Huo Chang Yuan coldly snorted.
Seeing that, Lin Wan Bai immediately changed the topic, "Fine, I don't miss him, I miss Dou Dou a bit!"
Who would have thought that he would be whispering in his ear, "You're not allowed to think about other men in my arms!"
Lin Wan Bai's mouth twitched, he was simply unable to retort, "How is this another man, it's our son …"
"Not even a son!" Huo Chang Yuan said.
"…" All right.
If he wasn't so tyrannical, then it wouldn't be him!
Lin Wan Bai simply closed his eyes.
The next morning, the nurse came and hung two bags of medicine on the IV rack. She leaned against the headboard with the needle in her hand.
When the ward's door was knocked, Lin Wan Bai raised his head and looked over.
The first thing he saw was a large bouquet of fresh lilies, and then a handsome face.
"Mr. Li?" Lin Wan Bai was surprised.
Li Jiang Nan walked in with a bouquet of flowers, "Miss Lin!"
"Why are you here again?" Lin Wan Bai asked in surprise, realizing that she seemed to be a little out of place, she immediately asked in a gentle tone, "Uh, what I mean is, what are you here for?"
"I'm fine. I just want to see you again!" Li Jiang Nan did not mind, after smiling as he replied, he held out the lily in his hand and said, "This flower is for you, do you like it?"
"It looks pretty good …" Lin Wan Bai used another answer.
"Then I'll help you stick it in a vase!" Li Jiang Nan laughed like the sun outside the window, warming the entire ward, "When I went to the flower shop, I felt that the perfume lily was the most suitable for you. The lily symbolized purity, and the flower fragrance wasn't fake at all.
Lin Wan Bai smiled bashfully.
"Honestly speaking, ever since you left Hong Kong, I have been shocked by what you have done for the Hutong! I've told you before, I've never seen a girl like you before. You're really different from all the other girls! "Ever since we parted at the Hong Kong airport that day, I couldn't help but think of you, thinking that you are the girl I've been looking for all my life …"
The more Lin Wan Bai heard, the more he felt that something was not right, and he awkwardly interrupted, "Mr. Li, forget about Elder Li, don't joke with me!"
"Miss Lin, please believe me, I am not joking!" However, Li Jiang Nan walked to the bedside with a serious face, "I really have feelings for you, and I am already unable to control myself. You said that I would meet a good girl, that's right, I have met her!"
"Cough, cough!" Lin Wan Bai was so shocked that he started to cough violently.
He did not expect the other party to suddenly confess that he thought Elder Li's words were a joke, so he just smiled along. He did not expect him to hold back with such a big move …
She looked past him to the closed bathroom door, her spine chilled.
Before the door to the ward was pushed open, she told Huo Chang Yuan to go back to work at the company. She was fine by herself, but after being persuaded repeatedly by her, he finally agreed.
Lin Wan Bai licked his lips, and tried his best to blink, "Mr. Li, let's not talk about this anymore, do you want to eat some fruits?"
That should be obvious enough...
But unexpectedly, Li Jiang Nan did not understand, and was still trapped in the vortex of confession. "Miss Lin, what I told you just now, was a decision that I made after thinking for a long time.
Lin Wan Bai was currently holding onto the back of his hand with a needle stuck in his body, unable to move. Otherwise, he would jump down from the sickbed and cover his mouth.
Please, stop it!
"Mr. Li, cough, I already have a boyfriend!" She helplessly raised his hand and showed him the diamond ring on his ring finger. "That's not right. To be exact, it should be my fiance. He has already proposed to me a long time ago. Our relationship is very good …"
"I know that!" Li Jiang Nan frowned, his expression did not waver at all, and said word by word with determination, "But I believe in this single sentence, there is no wall that can't be broken, there is only a hoe that doesn't work hard!"
Suddenly, with a "bang", the bathroom door was forcefully pushed open.
