Chapter 1289 Yun Rui's sincere heart: I think you owe him a favor
Yan Wanqing's eyelashes trembled as the smell of disinfectant entered her nose. The white ceiling gradually became clear in her sight, and the liquid in the infusion tube was dripping down, splashing tiny drops of water on the glass joint.
She moved her fingers and was gently held down. The nurse stood by the bed with a clipboard in her hand. Her voice was as gentle as cotton: "Ms. Yan, are you awake? You've been in a coma for a week."
One week. Yan Wanqing stared at the bubbles rising in the infusion tube. In her mind were the intermittent scenes of arguments with her father, and the final perception of her falling heavily to the ground because of dizziness.
"Your family comes here every day." The nurse tucked in the corner of the quilt for her. "They were here just now and said they were going to buy you some porridge."
Yan Wanqing curled up her fingertips and dug her nails into her palms.
Family. The word melted like ice in her throat.
Who gave it to you?
As this question came to her mind, the door of the ward was pushed open and she quickly closed her eyes.
The footsteps stopped beside the bed, carrying with them a familiar scent of cedar—not the sandalwood scent that his father often used, but the scent of Gu Yunqian.
She felt someone placing a thermometer on her forehead, the warmth from the fingertips was light, like a feather brushing against her skin.
"Not awake yet?" Gu Yunqian's voice was very low, as if he was afraid of disturbing something.
"I just woke up not long ago. The doctor said I need to rest." It was Yan Taifeng's voice, with a flattery she had never heard before, "Yunqian, this time it's really thanks to you, otherwise..."
"It's my duty." Gu Yunqian interrupted him, "After all, Wanqing has worked under me for so long, she still has some human touch! If you are not in good health, don't force yourself when you call someone, otherwise your daughter will not be able to live for you even if she has nine lives."
Yan Wanqing's eyelashes trembled violently.
She could imagine her father's expression at the moment. His face must be full of smiles, just like the servants in ancient times who would benefit from the success of their father and his whole family, with a fawning look on their faces!
"Then this..."
"Let's talk about it when she gets better." Gu Yunqian's voice was emotionless. "I have something else to do. I'm leaving first."
The footsteps faded away, and the door of the ward was gently closed. Yan Wanqing opened her eyes and saw her father standing by the window, his back to her, his shoulders slightly shaking.
The sunlight shone through the glass onto his gray temples, and she suddenly realized that this always strong man had grown old without her noticing.
"Awake?" Yan Taifeng put away his previous flattery to Gu Yunqian, because he showed the charm of power on his daughter, "You are quite capable. You can actually lure Gu Yunqian's people to your home, and let me, as your father, take care of you by your bedside!"
"I've been unconscious for a week, and this is the first thing you want to say to me?" Yan Wanqing couldn't help but sneered in her heart.
If it weren’t for Gu Yunqian, she would have been burned to death at home!
"You have to understand that you are now dependent on me for support. If anything happens to me, Gu Yunqian will bury you tomorrow. Now that you are old, you should be more obedient. Otherwise, let my mother come to pick you up as soon as possible!"
"You... you unfilial daughter!" Yan Taifeng was so angry that he was shaking all over and raised his hand to hit her.
Yan Wanqing closed her eyes, but the slap never came. She opened her eyes and saw her father's hand suspended in mid-air, his fingertips trembling slightly.
At this moment, the door of the ward was pushed open, and the nurse ran in in a panic: "Stop making noise! You are disturbing other patients' rest!"
Yan Taifeng seemed to be splashed with cold water and woke up instantly. He looked at the mess in the ward, then at his daughter's red eyes, without showing any trace of guilt.
He said nothing more and almost ran away.
The nurse looked at Yan Taifeng's back, shook her head helplessly, then walked to Yan Wanqing's bedside and poured her a glass of water: "Miss Yan, drink some water to moisten your throat first."
Yan Wanqing took the water cup and drank it in small sips. The dryness in her throat eased a little, but the grievance in her heart became stronger and stronger.
"By the way, Miss Yan, the dean said he will come to see you later." said the nurse.
Not long after, Dean Lu Jinqi arrived.
Lu Jinqi is now a man in his fifties. He wears a pair of gold-rimmed glasses and looks very elegant.
"Ms. Yan, how do you feel?" Lu Jinqi asked with a smile while sitting on a chair beside the bed.
"Much better, thank you, Dean." Yan Wanqing replied softly.
"That's good." Lu Jinqi nodded, "Actually, you have to thank Yunqian for waking up so quickly this time.
He was the one who took you to the hospital that day, and he has been helping you with the hospital affairs, running around and taking care of everything. He still values you as his partner very much!"
Yan Wanqing was stunned. Could it be that the man who was so cold that day actually had such a warm side?
"Why... did he do this?" Yan Wanqing asked in confusion.
Lu Jinqi smiled and said, "I don't know about that. Maybe he thinks you owe him a favor."
Yan Wanqing didn't say anything else. She felt confused when she heard Lu Jinqi's words which were obviously hints. It turns out that some favors are not received in vain...
"You should have a good rest. I won't disturb you for now!" Lu Jinqi said, then curled the corners of his mouth and prepared to leave.
Yan Wanqing watched the other person leave and the moment the door closed, she couldn't help but let her thoughts run wild. As she was thinking, she fell into a deep sleep again.
In her dream, she saw herself standing in a vast expanse of white snow, and Qi Zhifang was standing not far away, smiling at her.
She wanted to walk over, but she couldn't move. At this moment, Yan Taifeng suddenly appeared, pulled her back, and kept saying, "Ignore her, come home with me."
She struggled, trying to break free from her father's hand, but his hand held her tightly like an iron clamp.
"Let me go! Let me go!" she screamed.
"Miss Yan, Miss Yan, wake up!"
Yan Wanqing suddenly opened her eyes and saw the nurse looking at her anxiously.
"I...what's wrong with me?" she asked in a daze.
"You were having a nightmare and kept saying 'let me go,'" the nurse said.
Yan Wanqing touched her forehead, which was covered with cold sweat. She recalled the dream she had just had, and felt a little nervous. The dream was too real, so real that it scared her.
She knew that this dream might be a reflection of her inner self: she longed for freedom, but was bound by family affection.
"By the way, Miss Yan, Mr. Gu called you just now. I told him that you were asleep, and he said he would call you back after you woke up." said the nurse.
Yan Wanqing's heart moved and she nodded: "Okay, I understand."
After the nurse left, the ward returned to silence.
Yan Wanqing looked out the window, with a myriad of thoughts in her mind.
She didn't know why Gu Yunqian called her, nor did she know how to face him.
At this moment, Qi Ruixiang, who was far away in a foreign country, was walking with Gu Yunxi along the Thames.
Gu Yunxi's mood improved a lot, and a long-lost smile appeared on her face. Qi Ruixiang looked at her smile and felt a little relieved.
He temporarily forgot about the turmoil in the country and also forgot about Yang Xiaotang, who had used all her connections and worked hard for him.
He didn't know that Yang Xiaotang was being locked up at home by his father, struggling for his words. He didn't know that a new storm was quietly brewing...
