At this time in the regular ward downstairs, Wan Yunting was leaning against the headboard of the hospital bed, while Huang Yuqing and Jiang Peipei were playing with Wan'er. The entire room was filled with the girl's playful laughter.
"Yunting, it's getting late, and we still have classes at school. We'll head back now. You should rest well and recover from your injuries."
Huang Yuqing saw that it was almost noon and stood up with a smile. "Peipei has classes in the afternoon, so I'll leave her here to take care of you."
"Who says I have classes in the afternoon? I have a basketball game to host at noon, so I'm leaving now too." Jiang Peipei quickly followed Huang Yuqing, her heart in a panic.
Huang Yuqing turned and glanced at her, whispering, "Don't you have something to say to Yunting?"
"We'll talk about it after he recovers."
Jiang Peipei smiled, then turned back to wave at Wan Yunting on the bed and said with a smile, "Then I'll be going back with Sister Yuqing. I'll come see you again when I have time."
Wan Yunting, who saw through everything, nodded and smiled. He also told Wan'er, "Say goodbye to the aunties quickly."
"Bye-bye..."
Wan'er adorably waved her small hands at Jiang Peipei and Huang Yuqing. The two women waved back with smiles, and as they reached the door, they opened it to go out, only to be met by Jiang Tongxin and Su Ke'er.
Huang Yuqing and Jiang Peipei's expressions were stunned. Their eyes fixed on Su Ke'er, whom they found somewhat familiar.
"Are you Yunting Ge's classmates?"
Su Ke'er's eyes widened as she scrutinized Huang Yuqing and Jiang Peipei. She had gone to Huadu University with Wan Yunting before. Although they hadn't interacted, she knew they seemed to be the man's classmates.
"I remember now, aren't you that..."
Suddenly, Huang Yuqing's eyes widened. She immediately recognized Su Ke'er.
"Ke'er?"
Wan Yunting heard Su Ke'er's voice at the door and called out.
"Excuse me, please let us through."
Upon hearing the man's voice, Su Ke'er immediately squeezed between Huang Yuqing and Jiang Peipei and entered the ward. She saw the man sitting up on the bed...
At this moment, Su Ke'er's large eyes immediately welled up with tears. She was overwhelmed with emotion, and her lips trembled, looking endearingly wronged and about to cry.
"Yunting Ge..."
Unable to hold back any longer, she immediately rushed forward and threw herself into Wan Yunting's arms, crying, "Wuwu, I missed you so much..."
Wan Yunting was stunned. He looked at Su Ke'er, who had just thrown herself into his arms, while Wan'er, standing by the bed, looked at him curiously with her big eyes...
Huang Yuqing and Jiang Peipei, who were still at the door, turned their heads and stared blankly at the scene. Then, they exchanged glances, inwardly wondering, "What is going on?"
"Are you two leaving?"
Jiang Tongxin at the door looked at them from side to side. Huang Yuqing and Jiang Peipei then came to their senses, nodded awkwardly, and left.
The two women quickly left the emergency department and then said confusedly, "What's going on with that Su Ke'er? When did she return to Huadu City? Why haven't we heard anything?"
Huang Yuqing waved her hand and said, "That's not what I'm concerned about. What I want to know is what is the relationship between Old Wan and that Su Ke'er now? Didn't they break up before?"
"How would I know."
Jiang Peipei's pretty face fell. Seeing Su Ke'er embrace the man just now, she felt unhappy. Pouting, she snorted, "Wan Yunting, that scoundrel, is a complete playboy. I can't be bothered with his messy affairs."
Seeing the girl stomp her feet and head towards the hospital entrance, Huang Yuqing was taken aback and quickly followed, saying, "Peipei, are you really going to confront Old Wan about it?"
"What else?"
Jiang Peipei turned and glanced at her, looking endearingly wronged and snorting, "I'll just consider what happened last time an accident and pretend it didn't happen."
Huang Yuqing shook her head and smiled, knowing she was just saying that. Her heart was full of Wan Yunting...
At this moment, in the ward.
"Ke'er..."
Wan Yunting, who had recovered, pulled Su Ke'er up. He looked at the girl with tear-streaked eyes, looking so pitiful. She quickly asked, "Yunting Ge, where are you injured? Is it serious? Let me see..."
"Ke'er, I'm fine..."
Wan Yunting stopped her, his brows furrowed. He asked, "When did you return to Huadu?"
"Just got back."
Su Ke'er sat by the bed, wiping the tears from her face. Her large eyes were still filled with glistening tears. She looked at Wan Yunting's slightly worried expression and said, "Yunting Ge, you don't want me to come back, do you?"
"No."
Wan Yunting smiled unnaturally and said, "I'm just surprised you came back so suddenly. Why didn't you contact me in advance?"
"I just wanted to give you a surprise," Su Ke'er said with a tearful smile.
No, this wasn't a surprise, it was a shock!
"Are you Sister Ke'er?"
Wan'er, who was standing by the bed, finally recognized Su Ke'er after watching for a long time.
"Wan'er, you still remember me."
Seeing that Wan'er remembered her, Su Ke'er was extremely happy. She walked over, squatted down, and held Wan'er's hand, saying with a smile, "Do you miss your sister?"
"Yes."
Wan'er said in a milky voice, "Wan'er missed you so much before, but you stopped coming to play with Wan'er. Sister Ke'er, don't you like Wan'er anymore?"
Hearing this, Su Ke'er felt a pang of sadness. She hugged Wan'er and said gently, "I'm sorry, Wan'er. Sister Ke'er had some family matters, so I had to go back. But don't worry, Wan'er. Sister Ke'er is back now, and I'll come to play with you from now on, okay?"
"Really? Then you can't lie to me." Wan'er was happy. It seemed she preferred Su Ke'er.
However, Wan Yunting, sitting on the bed, was getting worried. He hadn't expected Su Ke'er to return so suddenly.
Originally, because of Fang Yanxi, Wan Yunting had planned to go to Shenzhen to find Su Ke'er and clarify their current relationship. But now that she was back, it was a good opportunity to explain things to Su Ke'er.
Just then, Fang Yanxi, carrying a thermos, arrived from home. She saw Jiang Tongxin leaning at the ward door, looking at Wan Yunting and Su Ke'er inside. "Director Jiang, is there something you need?"
Jiang Tongxin turned her head and saw Fang Yanxi. She shook her head slightly. "Nothing."
"Oh."
Fang Yanxi looked at her strangely, then walked to the door. However, when she looked inside and saw Su Ke'er, her expression immediately froze.
Su Ke'er turned her head and saw Fang Yanxi standing at the door. Her expression suddenly became stunned. Their eyes met...
For a moment, it felt as if the air in the ward had fallen silent. Wan Yunting, sitting on the bed, looked at Fang Yanxi at the door, then at Su Ke'er squatting by the bed holding Wan'er's hand. At this moment, his mind was about to explode.
Fang Yanxi couldn't have come at a better or worse time.
And Su Ke'er, couldn't she have returned to Huadu City a few days later?
"Ahem..."
Seeing that the two women had been staring at each other for almost a minute, Wan Yunting, full of awkwardness and tension, coughed twice and put on a smiling face. He said to Fang Yanxi at the door, "Yanxi, you're here..."
The two of them then snapped back to reality. Fang Yanxi's pretty face was cold. She naturally walked over and placed the thermos in her hand on the small table beside the bed, saying, "This is lunch made by my mom for you. Eat it later."
"Auntie made it? Then it must be delicious..."
Wan Yunting smiled awkwardly. His heart racing, he didn't even know what he was saying.
"Auntie Yanxi, I want to eat too."
At this moment, Wan'er broke free from Su Ke'er's hand and ran towards Fang Yanxi.
Fang Yanxi bent down and scooped her up. Her pretty face turned gentle, and she smiled, saying, "Then what do you want to eat? Auntie Yanxi will take you out to eat."
"I want to eat a hamburger," Wan'er said happily, hooking her small hands around Fang Yanxi's neck.
"Okay, I'll take you to eat it later," Fang Yanxi nodded and smiled.
Su Ke'er, who had stood up, looked at the affectionate scene between Wan'er and Fang Yanxi, feeling inexplicably uncomfortable.
"Auntie Yanxi, can we take Sister Ke'er with us to eat?" Wan'er pointed at Su Ke'er with her little finger and asked cutely.
Fang Yanxi's pretty face froze. Her eyes looked directly at Su Ke'er in front of her. She was also stunned and couldn't help but feel awkward.
"Wan'er, don't eat hamburgers. Your second aunt will be here to take you home for dinner soon," Wan Yunting said from his bed, quickly breaking the awkward atmosphere.
"No, Third Uncle, I just want to eat a hamburger," Wan'er said with a pout in Fang Yanxi's arms.
"It's okay, Auntie Yanxi will take you out for a hamburger," Fang Yanxi turned with Wan'er in her arms, ignoring Wan Yunting.
"Ke'er, I need to talk to you. Come out for a bit."
Jiang Tongxin, who had been standing at the door without leaving, suddenly broke the awkward and oppressive atmosphere in the ward and called out to Su Ke'er.
"Oh."
Su Ke'er also reacted. She looked at Fang Yanxi awkwardly and said to Wan Yunting on the bed, "Um, Yunting Ge, I'll come to see you again later..."
"Go ahead."
Wan Yunting smiled awkwardly and nodded. Watching Su Ke'er leave, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"Sister Jiang..."
Su Ke'er came out. Jiang Tongxin glared coldly at Wan Yunting and Fang Yanxi inside. She hadn't left earlier because she was worried Fang Yanxi might bully Su Ke'er.
"Let's go."
Jiang Tongxin then pulled Su Ke'er away. As she turned back, she cast a lingering glance at Wan Yunting inside...
