Qi Bufan’s words were indeed reasonable.

Fang Yusheng listened to his accusation quietly and fell silent.

Just as Qi Bufan had said, he was not Qi Bufan and not the person involved. Naturally, he could not empathize with the person involved, nor could he understand Qi Bufan’s dilemma.

In Fang Yusheng’s world, if he liked someone, he would like that person. If he loved someone, he would not let go. Why would he have to take so many detours?

“So, you plan to reject her completely?”

After Fang Yusheng finished asking, he saw Qi Bufan’s eyelids lower. His long eyelashes covered a pair of complicated eyes. Qi Bufan looked down and sighed helplessly. “In a few years, when she grows up and meets someone she likes more, she will understand what I’m doing now.”

He knew that Dai Chukong was still young. Her love for him was mixed with too many complicated feelings. There must be respect, admiration, and infatuation mixed with her love. He did not believe that Dai Chukong liked him.

He thought that Dai Chukong had mixed up her feelings.

When she grew up, saw the world, met a new suitor, and fell in love with someone else, she would definitely understand how reckless and ignorant she was at that time. At that moment, she would also be grateful to herself.

Qi Bufan smiled bitterly. “I did the right thing, right, sir?”

Fang Yusheng said, “No use asking me this. The answer is in your heart.”

Qi Bufan did not say anything else.

In the middle of the night, Fang Yusheng stayed behind to accompany Qi Bufan. He stayed up until daybreak when the hospital changed shifts. When Wei Shuyi arrived, Fang Yusheng told him the news that Qi Bufan had woken up.

Wei Shuyi was puzzled. “He woke up by himself? Suddenly?”

“Yes.” Fang Yusheng did not intend to tell Wei Shuyi that Qi Bufan had been acting for the past few days and had actually woken up long ago.

Wei Shuyi narrowed his eyes and suddenly said, “Why do I feel that this brother is playing with us on purpose?”

You figured out the truth.

Fang Yusheng smiled awkwardly and went to the ward with Wei Shuyi.

Wei Shuyi asked Qi Bufan some questions, but Qi Bufan’s answers were normal. He looked quite healthy, as if the unconscious person from before was not him.

“Pretty good. The surgery was very successful.” Wei Shuyi finally heaved a sigh of relief.

He was quite worried that Qi Bufan would not wake up. He had worked for so many years, and other than that failed surgery back then, every surgery he had done had been successful. This was the first time he had seen a situation like Qi Bufan’s.

However, Qi Bufan was someone Fang Yusheng and Qiao Jiusheng were familiar with. Over the past few days, Wei Shuyi had been feeling a little pressured.

“Rest well in the next few months. Your heart is not like other places. Recovery and treatment are very important.”

“I know that.”

Qi Bufan thanked Wei Shuyi solemnly. He had heard from Lang Zhan about how dangerous his situation was back then. It was all thanks to Wei Shuyi and his surgical team that he was able to survive this time.

Wei Shuyi accepted Qi Bufan’s gratitude.

When he left, he bumped into Tong Jiao, who was coming to work.

Tong Jiao was wearing a nurse’s uniform. When she saw Wei Shuyi, she hurriedly greeted him respectfully. Wei Shuyi looked stylish, but his personality was actually very gentle. He stopped in his tracks and nodded at Tong Jiao before leaving.

The moment Wei Shuyi entered the room and saw Qi Bufan, who had already woken up, his eyes flashed with joy and excitement. “Uncle, you’re awake?” Tong Jiao walked over quickly and stopped beside the ward. She looked down at Qi Bufan.

Qi Bufan looked at the young lady.

He had been pretending to be asleep for the past few days, so he was not unfamiliar with Tong Jiao. When he saw this young lady, his heart was quite complicated. Previously, he had also said that he was pretending to be asleep. When Tong Jiao was taking care of him, she had stared at his face a lot. When she wiped his body, she had also touched his muscles a lot.

Qi Bufan still remembered the first time Tong Jiao touched his abs. He almost lost control.

Qi Bufan had not expected the young ladies today to be so bold and shameless.

“You are?” Qi Bufan pretended not to know Tong Jiao, or he would feel awkward.

Tong Jiao was about to explain when Fang Yusheng explained on her behalf. “This is Tong Jiao, a nurse. She’s been taking care of you while you were unconscious.” When Fang Yusheng said the word ‘take care’, his tone was obviously heavier.

Qi Bufan thought of something and his expression was a little unnatural.

“So you’re a nurse.” He pursed his lips at Tong Jiao and suppressed the unnatural feeling in his heart before saying to her, “Sorry to trouble you these days.”

Tong Jiao did not know that Qi Bufan was pretending to be asleep, so she naturally did not know that her act of secretly touching the uncle’s muscles had long been noticed by him. She smiled shyly like an innocent little girl. “This is my duty.”

Qi Bufan was not a talkative person and did not know what to say to her.

The three of them were in a deadlock when Dai Chukong entered.

She was carrying breakfast for Fang Yusheng. “Brother Fang, have some breakfast.” Dai Chukong had already eaten with Lang Zhan and knew that Fang Yusheng’s stomach was weak. Dai Chukong had brought him breakfast that was easy to digest.

Fang Yusheng was not a picky person. She brought over porridge, a plate of delicious side dishes, a plate of buns and went to the room next door to eat breakfast. Dai Chukong did not look at Tong Jiao much and only thought that she was a nurse who came to do ward rounds.

Dai Chukong said to Qi Bufan, “The doctor said you can have some porridge and vegetable juice now. What do you want to eat? I’ll get it for you.”

While talking to Qi Bufan, Dai Chukong tried her best to avoid addressing him.

She was really unwilling to call him Dad.

Qi Bufan said, “I want to drink some apple juice.”

“Drink that later. I made you porridge. It’s in the rice cooker in the small kitchen. It’ll be ready soon. You haven’t washed your face yet, right? I’ll get you some water to wash your face.” Dai Chukong had never taken care of Qi Bufan before, so she didn’t know where the wash basin was.

At this moment, another young girl’s voice sounded in the ward. “Let me do it. I’m the one doing all this. I’m more familiar with it than you.”

Upon hearing an unfamiliar female voice, Dai Chukong finally noticed Tong Jiao standing beside the bed.

Dai Chukong realized that Tong Jiao was a little delicate and cute. Her eyes were black like grapes. Dai Chukong felt inexplicably uncomfortable and felt a sense of danger that her territory was being coveted.

“Who are you?”

Tong Jiao smiled sweetly at Dai Chukong and said, “I’m Uncle’s professional private nurse.”

Upon hearing the word uncle, Dai Chukong frowned, and there was obvious displeasure on her face. “He’s not old.” Dai Chukong looked at Qi Bufan and protested silently. “He’s only 35 years old. He’s not old.”

She did not like hearing this girl call Qi Bufan an uncle. Wasn’t it popular nowadays to have paedophilic relationships?
