Chapter 422: Chapter 422 The Important Person to Me 2

Hospitalized? Ning Xixi’s delicate crescent brows furrowed.

Seeing her silence, Lu Qinghe aggressively pressed on like a machine gun, "I have to be busy with the company, and also take care of your father. As his daughter, you can’t even bother to visit him! What do you plan on doing now?"

Her gaze swept over Ji Yebai and Ning Xixi, scoffing, "A date? I want to ask if you have any conscience at all!"

"Enough!" Ji Yebai said coldly, his eyes flashing with a chill.

Lu Qinghe’s momentum weakened instantly, but still relied on her seniority to speak arrogantly, "Ji Yebai! What are you acting so haughty about! Without the Ji Family, who do you think you are? I really cannot stand kids who have been spoiled like you..."

"There are plenty who can’t stand this young master, what are you in comparison?" Ji Yebai’s lips curved into a chilly smirk, leaving Lu Qinghe choking and nearly half-dead with anger.

She snorted, "I have numerous affairs to attend to, not willing to stoop to your level, junior."

Ning Xixi delivered a coup de grâce, "So it’s not that you can’t stand him, but that you can’t get rid of him. It’s not that you don’t want to, you simply lack the ability to, right?!"

Lu Qinghe: "..."

How could this little wretch speak so viciously?

Having been tag-teamed by this couple, Lu Qinghe’s face turned ugly as she got into a black Bentley, her shoulders trembling with unresolved anger.

...

"Won a quarrel and still won’t gift this young master a smile?" Ji Yebai pinched her cheek, "Do you want to go shopping, or would you like to see a movie?"

Ning Xixi hesitated, "Ji Yebai, I want to visit my dad..."

Ji Yebai pondered for a moment, "I’ll accompany you."

He understood Ning Xixi’s unease; she had already lost her mother and subconsciously feared losing her father too.

...

Hospital.

VIP ward.

Ji Yebai knocked on the door, and came Ning Jingshen’s clear and distinct voice, "Come in."

Holding Ning Xixi’s slightly cold hand, Ji Yebai pushed open the door.

Inside the room, there was another tall figure standing; upon seeing Ji Yebai and Ning Xixi, he paused slightly.

Qiao Nancheng.

"Xixi... Yebai..." Ning Jingshen called out in surprise.

Ning Xixi placed his favorite lilies on the bedside table, "I came to check on you."

Ning Jingshen couldn’t help but be moved; as people aged, they understood the preciousness of family ties all the more.

He had many complaints and dissatisfactions with Ning Xixi, but in his heart, she was still his daughter.

"You’re here, why bring flowers..." Ning Jingshen murmured a few words, but still gestured to Qiao Nancheng to find a vase for the flowers.

Qiao Nancheng did as he was asked.

"I’m going to get some fresh air, you chat with your uncle for a bit," Ji Yebai patted Ning Xixi’s shoulder, giving her enough space.

This Demon could actually be so considerate, Ning Xixi was moved immensely.

"You take good care of yourself, be mindful of your health, money is endless but don’t wear yourself out..." Ning Xixi rambled on, Ning Jingshen listened until his eyes reddened, even using his sleeve to dab at his tears.

A daughter is indeed a father’s little cotton-padded jacket.

Seeing him cry made Ning Xixi feel awkward, "You... don’t cry, okay..."

In her eyes, her father was a tall and mighty figure, like an indestructible iron wall, and she had never expected to see him so vulnerable.

"Ning Xixi! What are you doing here, upsetting your dad?" The door was violently pushed open, and Lu Qinghe stormed in, full of discontent.
