Three days later, after combining self-healing with hospital treatment, Yu He was finally able to get out of bed and move around. This recovery speed impressed Qi Nan; few patients could recover so quickly.
She stayed in the hospital for another week. Her surgical wound was finally stitched, and she had no major daily life restrictions. She could go home to continue her recovery, but Qin Beiting was still worried and insisted she stay for another week.
Every day was filled with eating, sleeping, and then eating again. It was a struggle to get out of bed even to go to the bathroom, but Qin Beiting wouldn't let her touch the ground, insisting on carrying her everywhere, as if he wanted to turn her into a complete invalid.
Back when Yu He was pregnant with the two little ones, she hadn't received such good treatment. After more than half a month, Yu He had gained three jin.
On this day, Qi Nan came for his routine check-up. After the examination, Yu He couldn't help but say, "As I said, right? I'm basically fine now and just need to rest well at home. Please discharge me. If I stay any longer, I'll become useless and fat."
"A little chubbier is good, you'll have more meat. You were too thin before, and you felt bony when I held you," Qin Beiting said from the side.
Yu He glared at him and continued speaking to Qi Nan, "Please process the discharge papers now. I want to leave by noon. Tomorrow is New Year's Day, and I don't want to spend it in the hospital. You should also get off work early and go on a date with a beautiful woman."
"Single dogs aren't meant for dates. But yes, you can be discharged. Miss Yu's medical skills are superior to mine, and she understands her own body better than I do. Brother Ting, you don't need to worry too much."
"Some light exercise after going home will also benefit your recovery," Qi Nan said, though his gaze shifted to Qin Beiting, seeking his approval.
"Go ahead," Qin Beiting reluctantly agreed.
He secretly wished he could keep Yu He completely dependent on him, making her unable to leave his side and always stay with him.
But the young lady didn't want to be that kind of person.
The two little ones were informed that their mommy could be discharged at noon and insisted that Aunt Wen bring them to the hospital to pick up their mother.
"Mommy, this is my discharge gift for you. I learned to make this heart-shaped steak from Aunt Wen. Aunt Wen said eating it will make you healthy, prevent future illnesses, and ensure a long life."
As soon as Duo Duo saw Yu He, she eagerly handed over the small lunchbox she had brought.
Yu He happily accepted it and opened it. Inside was a steak that was barely recognizable as heart-shaped. One side was burnt, the other side was undercooked, and it was still oozing blood.
Despite its appearance, Yu He was delighted. "Thank you, my darling. Mommy loves it."
"Mommy, I made a gift for you too," Yue Yue also handed his small lunchbox to Yu He.
Yu He set Duo Duo's lunchbox aside and opened Yue Yue's. Inside were golden-yellow sweet pea cakes. "Thank you, my darling Yue Yue."
Saying this, she kissed each of their faces.
"Mommy, eat mine first. I added ketchup when I fried it, so it's very delicious," Duo Duo picked up her lunchbox and brought it to Yu He.
"Eat mine first. Yours is dark cuisine, it won't taste good," Yue Yue countered.
Yu He smiled. "Mommy just ate and isn't hungry right now. Mommy will take them home and eat them later, okay?"
Duo Duo nodded and put the lid back on her lunchbox. "Then Mommy must remember to eat mine first. Brother Fan said whoever Mommy eats from first loves them more."
"Eat mine first!" Yue Yue also put his lunchbox away and corrected, "Qin Duofan's seniority is lower than yours, why do you call him brother?"
Duo Duo didn't understand seniority. "But he's older than me! What's wrong with calling him brother?"
Yue Yue: "With your intelligence, it's a miracle that the steak you made is edible."
Duo Duo angrily raised her fist. "Yu Chenyue, if you insult my intelligence again, I'll punch you!"
Yue Yue immediately shut up and stopped teasing. After all, her punches were indeed hard.
Yu He was amused and exasperated. "Mommy will eat both, one bite from each. Mommy loves you both the most, okay?"
"Then can you bite mine a little more than哥哥's? I want you to love me a little more than哥哥," Duo Duo used her fingers to indicate a small amount.
Yu He's heart melted. "Then you have to whisper, don't let your brother hear."
Duo Duo suddenly reacted and quickly covered Yue Yue's ears. "Brother, you didn't hear anything just now."
"..."
Yue Yue couldn't quite understand why he had such a foolish sister.
Never mind, they came from the same womb. If he didn't indulge her a little, no one else would.
Qin Beiting, who had finished packing their things, watched the interaction between the mother and her children. Something was touched in his heart, especially the smile on Yu He's face. It was the most beautiful smile she had worn since being hospitalized. The glow of maternal love also made her appear even more captivating.
"I want to eat too," Qin Beiting stepped forward and said.
"Daddy, I made pea cakes for you too. I asked Aunt Wen to bring them. Aunt Wen, quickly bring me the pea cakes I made for Daddy," Duo Duo said sweetly, calling out towards the door of the ward.
Aunt Wen heard the voice and quickly entered with a lunchbox. "Seventh Master, this is what the child made for you."
As Qin Beiting was about to take it, Yue Yue said from the side, "He's not staying in the hospital, why should he eat?"
"..."
A leather jacket is truly not as warm as a little padded jacket!
Yu He had noticed for a while that Yue Yue seemed to have a prejudice against Qin Beiting.
Unlike Duo Duo, Yue Yue was not as attached to Qin Beiting. He didn't ask about his father's identity when he was young, nor did he always talk about finding his father like Duo Duo did.
Even now, upon meeting his biological father, his attitude was indifferent.
However, she had no intention of forcing them together. This was a matter between father and son, and Qin Beiting would have to resolve it himself.
"Let's eat it when we get home. I don't want to stay here for another second."
Outside the inpatient department, a Rolls-Royce was already waiting. The driver quickly opened the rear door as they came down.
Once in the car, the driver respectfully asked, "Seventh Master, where should we go?"
"Yu Xianyi Clinic," Yu He said first. Seeing that the driver wasn't Chen Dong, she turned to ask Qin Beiting, "Did Chen Dong resign?"
During her hospitalization, she hadn't seen him at all. In the past, he was Qin Beiting's personal assistant and handled many of his private matters.
"Mommy, Uncle Chen was punished by Daddy to dig for ore in Africa," Duo Duo said.
Yu He looked at Qin Beiting with some surprise. "Why would you send someone so far away?"
Qin Beiting coughed. "A rare mineral source was discovered in Africa. He wanted to earn merit and applied to go himself."
After speaking, he asked Duo Duo, "Who told you he was in Africa?"
"Uncle Chen posts 'Currently mining in Africa, do not disturb!' on his Moments every day. Daddy, aren't you scrolling through Moments?" Duo Duo said.
What was so good about scrolling through Moments? It was a waste of time.
"Baby, look, there's still internet there, which means the environment isn't too bad," Qin Beiting said.
Yu He: "..."
You're his boss, you have the final say.
