Return of the Antagonistic Lady Boss

Chapter 458 - 432: Gnashing One’s Teeth

Actually, Yu Minglang wanted Mr. Liu to bring up the matter of remarriage at an appropriate time. If the conversation went well, he should try to gauge Mr. Liu’s opinion and hint that remarrying would be beneficial for the child.

However, seeing Mr. Liu lying in bed looking exhausted, with the infusion patch still on her hand, Mr. Liu couldn’t bring himself to say anything. He felt he had no right to speak on certain matters, as he caused the breakup of the family and made her suffer so much.

"What did Gangdan ask you to do?"

"Nothing... You should focus on getting better, don’t worry. I’ll take care of the son for three days, I won’t let him be in any danger." He quickly left the room, as if someone was chasing him, closing the door in a hurry. Both felt a sense of melancholy but were helpless.

Yu Minglang wanted Qian to leave with him, but Qian couldn’t go. Her teacher was still lying there, and she needed to stay overnight to look after her.

"Tomorrow morning... what time are you entering the mountain?" Qian asked.

"Six o’clock. I have to head into the mountain to set up the testing venue."

The testing venue was in the mountains; all arrangements had to be checked thoroughly. It could be quite a torment, but safety must be maximized. The radio station would broadcast the special reality show recruitment event.

Broadcasting it not only gives the radio station the viewership rating but also serves as a promotion for Minglang’s company. His mental acuity is always so astonishing.

Six o’clock was too early, no time for shenanigans. Qian pondered for a moment and then asked.

"After the assessment, will you have any time?" Even two or three hours would be enough; she wanted to spend more time with Xiaoqiang.

"No, after the assessment, I have to take the qualified ones back to the company, and then the formal induction training starts. It’s all nonstop work." Yu Minglang replied with gritted teeth.

Why does time have to be so mischievous? When he returns to the company with the newcomers, he’ll also have to deal with those shareholders.

It’s so difficult to eat some meat; who did I offend to deserve this!

Seeing Mr. Liu coming out of the hospital ward, Yu Minglang knew he had to part ways with Qian. Reluctant, yet powerless, he could only take a few more looks at his beloved girl before Mr. Liu got too close.

"What’s wrong with Qian?" Mr. Liu came over and noticed something off about Qian’s expression.

Seemed like she wasn’t feeling well?

Yu Minglang looked at Qian and said seriously, "Feeling unwell outside, you know how women are, always a variety of troubles."

Qian really wanted to spit at him; women’s discomfort? That’s just you being shameless... Ugh!

With this separation, it would probably be a long time before they met again. Qian watched Yu Minglang deeply, while Yu Minglang took three steps and turned his head back repeatedly.

However, neither of them would have expected that they would meet again soon. Some unexpected surprises were waiting nearby for them, life is always full of miracles, but that’s a story for later.

Usually, Qian would not do the job of taking care of someone, but if it’s for her sick mentor, well, that’s a different matter.

Late into the night, after sending the last text message to Yu Minglang, Qian set the alarm and turned off her phone. Mr. Liu was already asleep on another bed.

She and Xiaoqiang had been exchanging aimless text messages for over three hours, saying all sorts of random things. Just like any couple in love, they indulge in sweet nothings despite the lack of substance.

Qian got out of bed to cover her teacher with a blanket and then returned to her own bed to sleep.

The next day, when Mr. Liu woke up, Qian had already brought breakfast.

"I’ll go handle the discharge paperwork later; I have something in the afternoon." Mr. Liu sat face to face with Qian, talking while eating breakfast.

"I called my class tutor; your project is paused for two days. You should rest well in the hospital during these two days. I asked the doctor, and you can’t over-exert yourself now."

"No need, I know my own body."

"You know your body, but you still fainted? Heart disease is no small matter. You need to be observed for a couple of days and undergo a comprehensive health check while at it. If you go back now, there’s no one at home, and Liu Li has been taken into the mountains by the master."

"Really took the kid there?" Mr. Liu hadn’t expected he was serious about it.

This old man has changed quite a bit, which is unlike something he would usually do. He thought the old man was just all talk.

"Yeah, Minglang called me in the morning. He will keep an eye on the master and Liu Li at all times and won’t let Liu Li be in danger. Teacher, people really do change; even the master changed. Don’t you want to give him a chance?"

"If you don’t want to get your credits early, just keep being the old man’s spokesperson in front of me! You’re my student, why are you always siding with that old man?" Mr. Liu glared at Qian.

"You see, with a temper like that, no wonder you haven’t made many friends all these years. Even when you’re sick, I have to take care of you..."

Ending up with no one to accompany at the hospital, the professor’s life is pretty pitiful.

"If you don’t want to stay, hurry back to school. Stop always interfering in other people’s family matters!"

Mr. Liu has a fierce temper, and everyone fears her, but Qian isn’t afraid; this is called spoiling courtesy.

"Why are they your family matters? I’m also concerned about my fiancé’s safety!"

"What relation is there with Yu Gangdan?"

"Gangdan at my house is still in the master’s hands. If the master isn’t in good shape, my Gangdan could become shattered eggs. The family at peace ensures he feels secure at the company. Teacher, look at how well the master did, knowing he had to take the child."

Qian pushed the porridge in front of Mr. Liu, a thick porridge reflecting the light of an intrigue.

"He should take care of his own kid, who else would take care of him? Don’t mention him to me again! I’m being discharged later, and I’ve arranged to meet a patient at noon." Under Qian’s gaze, Mr. Liu drank the bowl of white porridge.

After eating, Mr. Liu tidied up slightly and was about to go handle the discharge procedures when she noticed Qian was fixated on her phone.

"Little Cannonball, what are you looking at, waiting for a call?"

"No, I’m checking the time, almost an hour has passed." Qian checked again, feeling it was about right.

"What one hour?" Mr. Liu didn’t understand what she was referring to.

"The medicine is about to take effect... Teacher, do you feel sleepy?" Qian asked with a smile.

Once Qian mentioned it, Mr. Liu did feel sleepy. Her eyelids were sticky and felt like she hadn’t slept well in ages, unable to keep her eyes open.

"A bit..." How strange, why was she this sleepy?

"Then just lie down and rest for a while; I’ll handle the discharge paperwork and call you once it’s done."

"Alright." Mr. Liu was indeed sleepy, thinking she perhaps didn’t rest well last night.

Seeing the teacher lay down and sleep, Qian put away her phone, covered Mr. Liu with the blanket thoughtfully, and was particularly obedient.

"Teacher, kind-hearted lies can be forgiven, so you will forgive me for drugging you, right? Even if you don’t, there’s nothing to be done; the doctor said you need a couple more days of rest."

So, it’s all for the teacher’s own good. Qian silently prayed, hoping the bad-tempered teacher wouldn’t wake up and beat her up badly, because... she has some pride too!
