Chapter 260: Chapter 260 – My Dad Wants to Meet You_1

Ye Xingguang thought about the time. Ye Junqi would be fast asleep by now. If she called him and he did not answer, it would only disappoint her father. So, she opted not to take out her phone and said, “Dad, I’ll call him tomorrow. He’s asleep now.”

“Call him.” Song Chuanqi insisted.

Ye Xingguang was helpless. Her father probably thought that Ye Junqi completely adored her. She blamed herself for painting a false picture for her parents due to her acting skills when she called them. Now, if she calls and Ye Junqi doesn’t respond, wouldn’t it be a slap to her face?

She hesitated for a while, trying to dodge the situation. But her father kept urging her to call. With no option left, she dialed his number, hoping that he would be supportive. She didn’t want to be embarrassed.

In fact, at this time, she wished he was by her side. The call he made to her earlier gave her support and a sense of security.

Ye Xingguang, not holding much hope, dialed the number. Surprisingly, he answered instantly.

Ye Xingguang was taken aback: “You haven’t slept yet?”

“Hmm.” His deep voice, especially tender tonight.

Through the phone, Ye Xingguang heard the sound of footsteps. She couldn’t guess what he was doing up so late at night. Nervously, without any confidence, she asked, “Can you come to City T? My father wants to see you.”

Afterwards, her heart felt like it was placed on fire, with zero confidence.

On the other end of the phone, he didn’t immediately agree but just said, “Wait a moment.”

Wait for what, Ye Xingguang didn’t know. Was he hesitating?

To not disappoint her father, Ye Xingguang said again, “I… I kind of miss you.”

She had no choice but to resort to flirting. She wondered how much of an effect her tactic would have on him. Suddenly heard a low laughter from the other end of the phone, making her feel embarrassed.

Frustrated, she asked, “Why are you laughing? Are you coming or not?”

“I am coming.” As he affirmed, the door to the sickroom was gently pushed open from the outside.

The action was gentle, as if he was afraid to disturb the people in the room.

Ye Xingguang, thinking it was a nurse, looked up at the door.

The light from the corridor outside the room, which radiated in due to the opened door, allowed her to see a tall figure on the phone, gently pacing in while whispering: “I am here.”

Ye Xingguang froze, thinking that she must be dreaming. After the man came in and closed the door to the sickroom, the outside light faded away, illuminating the man who was approaching her under the dim light, looking like an unreal hallucination.

Ye Junqi was the first one to hang up the phone.

He came in a hurry, walked around the sickbed to her, put his warm hands on her shoulder, and respectfully looked at his future father-in-law lying on the bed, “Dad, sorry for being late.”

Song Chuanqi, weak and laying on the hospital bed, nodded in satisfaction seeing the man his daughter fancied.

Ye Xingguang suddenly snapped out of her delusion, her voice full of emotion, “How did you get here?”

Ye Junqi lowered his head, “Didn’t you call me to come?”

Ye Xingguang:

It’s true that she called him, but she didn’t expect him to respond so quickly. Did he teleport?

Of course, that’s impossible. So, was he already on his way when she called him?

The thought warmed her heart, but thinking about her father’s condition, her eyes welled up with tears. Almost instinctively leaning into him, his solid chest was like a mountain, providing a sense of security that lifted her spirits.
