What are you waiting for?
She had prepared herself to explain everything to Mo Chen after he woke up. After all, she couldn't truly enjoy everything Mo Chen did for her without doing anything herself.
She didn't know what dating was, but she didn't dislike Mo Chen, and she felt that she might be able to accept him.
This was a feeling she had never had before.
However, it seemed that this idea couldn't be told to the Shen family yet. Mo Chen would have to figure it out himself.
Having made up her mind, Shen Yao resigned herself to the situation. After Shen Huaisang understood the situation and confirmed that Shen Yao was indeed alright, he then called Shen Dad and Shen Mom.
He should have contacted Shen Dad and them on the first night, but to avoid disrupting Shen Huaijin's engagement, he had held back.
However, the engagement was originally scheduled for seven days, and now it was time for them to return. They would likely see his message as soon as they landed.
At the same time, Shen Huaisang was prepared to face a "mixed doubles" scolding from his parents.
As expected, Shen Dad and Shen Mom disembarked from the plane with joyful expressions. Upon opening their phones and seeing the message, Shen Dad could barely stand.
"What's wrong? Old Shen, don't scare me!" Shen Mom quickly supported Shen Dad when he stumbled and nearly fell.
"Quick, quick, to the hospital." After regaining his footing, Shen Dad immediately ran out, not even bothering with his luggage.
The Shen family rushed out after him. Shen Dad grabbed Shen Dad's arm, "Dad, tell us what happened first!"
Shen Dad was almost dying of anxiety!
"Hurry to the hospital. Third Brother said Yao Yao was hospitalized," Shen Dad said, his voice trembling as he uttered these words.
"What!"
This time, everyone knew and understood why Shen Dad was so anxious.
The group immediately hailed two taxis and headed straight for the hospital's inpatient department, not even bothering to collect their luggage.
At this moment, who cared about luggage? They could always retrieve it later.
As soon as the Shen family got out of the taxis, they immediately headed for Shen Yao's hospital room.
It was only when they saw Shen Yao sitting there, eating an apple, that they finally relaxed.
"It's good that you're okay, it's good that you're okay!" Shen Mom walked over and hugged Shen Yao directly.
"Dad, Mom, you're back? Why are you all here?" Shen Yao looked at the seven of them, extremely surprised.
Shen Dad looked at Shen Yao, then patted her head. After confirming she was fine, he said, "Your third brother messaged saying you were in trouble and were in the hospital. We couldn't wait any longer."
Upon hearing this, Shen Yao vaguely understood why. It turned out that her third brother hadn't told them about her being in trouble. He probably knew they were returning today and couldn't keep it a secret any longer, so he told them.
"I'm fine, it's Mo Chen who's in trouble," Shen Yao said, looking at them.
Then she told them what had happened after they left, which made them feel like they couldn't stand steady.
Shen Yao had been working on gaining her family's favor for Mo Chen, which would make things easier for him in the future. It was a small return for him.
"This, this is too dangerous! How could that child Mo Chen dare!" Shen Mom was terrified. She was afraid. She really couldn't imagine what would have happened if that bullet had hit Yao Yao...
She couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat. However, she also felt sorry for Mo Chen. She didn't want Shen Yao to be injured, and similarly, she didn't want someone else's child to be injured because of her daughter.
"We must thank him properly," Shen Dad said seriously.
It had to be said that Shen Yao's effort to gain favor had been very effective. Even Shen Huaijin couldn't say anything insincere.
Shen Huaijin: At most, it will make your future pursuit of your wife smoother. (Mo Chen: Thank you, my second brother-in-law!)
Shen Huaijin and Shen Huaimin went to see Mo Chen next door, while Shen Dad and Shen Mom, with their hands itching, were preparing to discipline Shen Huaisang.
Ning Min, Jiang Qingqing, and the little chubby boy were gathered around Shen Yao's bed, chatting with her.
As expected, when Shen Huaisang arrived with food containers to deliver to Shen Yao, he was caught by Shen Dad and Shen Mom.
The two of them didn't hold back at all. The blows landed squarely on him, especially since the couple had also practiced martial arts with their daughter, making the hits even more terrifyingly painful.
"How could you? You didn't tell me your sister was in such a big incident!"
"You've gotten so bold, your wings have hardened, and you dare to hide anything from us!"
"It's also thanks to Yao Yao's good fortune and resilience, otherwise, I would have beaten you to death!"
"Beat you to death!"
...
After Shen Dad and Shen Mom were tired from hitting him, Shen Huaisang thought he had escaped. However, he was then caught by Shen Huaijin.
Shen Huaisang: I'm done for...
Even though Shen Huaisang looked much sturdier than Shen Huaijin, he was guilty now. Of course, he obediently endured the "brotherly education" from Shen Huaijin.
Finally, when Shen Huaisang sat on the stool, his face was bruised and swollen. If not for his buzz cut, his hair would have been completely pulled out.
Shen Huaisang: "I'll never dare again."
Shen Yao stayed in the hospital for another three days before she was finally discharged. And Mo Chen finally woke up at this time.
After the doctor's examination, the Shen family all crowded around.
Mo Chen was in a daze, but the coldness in his eyes had not yet subsided.
His expression was also indifferent as he looked at the Shen family, no longer showing the fawning and flattering demeanor he had before.
"Mo Chen."
Shen Yao's voice was like a hammer, shattering the ice.
"Sister Yao Yao." Mo Chen looked at Shen Yao in surprise, as if he hadn't noticed anyone else before.
Shen Yao smiled, "I'm fine, thank you."
Mo Chen was overjoyed by Shen Yao's "thank you." "It's good that Sister Yao Yao is fine."
Who knew how anxious he had been when he saw a gun pointed at her at that time?
That was why he had rushed forward without hesitation to take the bullet for Shen Yao.
Since Mo Chen had just woken up, no one stayed for too long. When they told Mo Chen that Shen Yao could be discharged and leave, Mo Chen's expression immediately turned somber.
"Okay, let Sister Yao Yao go back and rest, wait for..."
Wait for him to return!
Shen Yao was escorted back to the Shen family. Shen Dad and Shen Mom instructed Shen Yao not to run around.
Shen Yao readily agreed, as she would do what she needed to do anyway.
She didn't plan to run around at this time either. She intended to collect the spiritual energy she had depleted to be prepared for any eventualities.
Mo Chen should have been discharged long ago after consuming the spiritual spring water and the pills Shen Yao gave him. However, to avoid being discovered by anyone with ill intentions, he was made to stay for a full half month. By the time he was discharged, Shen Yao had also replenished her depleted spiritual energy.
