Chapter 986: Someone Else’s Son-in-law

Translator: Atlas Studios  Editor: Atlas Studios

Su Shengjing was a little angry when he saw Rong Si. Usually, if someone had been reprimanded, they would be embarrassed to show up before the person who had reprimanded them. Whereas, this boy swaggered in as if nothing had happened.

How thick-skinned!

Why hadn’t I realized before that this boy is such a person?

With An Yuan and Little Jiu around, Su Shengjing could not get angry, so he could only endure it. However, no matter what, he would not let this kid spend the night here!

Hence, after Su Jiu fell asleep, he started to chase Rong Si away. “Why are you still here? Aren’t you going back to rest?”

“I’ll be going first.” Rong Si nodded and took a deep look at Su Jiu on the bed. After nodding at An Yuan, he turned around and walked out of the ward.

Looking at his upright and handsome back, An Yuan could not help but smile.

Sigh, if such a handsome boy could become my son-in-law, wouldn’t it be especially glorious? Would anyone else’s son-in-law be able to compare?

When Su Shengjing saw her staring at Rong Si’s back, his face darkened. “What are you looking at?”

An Yuan quickly came back to her senses. “Nothing.”

“Did you just stare at the kid? I saw everything. What, you like him, too?”

An Yuan’s mouth twitched. “I quite like him. If he becomes my son-in-law, I have no objections.”

She spoke bluntly.

Su Shengjing’s expression turned even uglier. “That won’t do. This is too rash. We haven’t even confirmed what kind of person he is.”

“Haven’t we? He was the one who saved Little Jiu’s life. He was willing to put himself in danger for her. Isn’t that proof enough of his character?”

Su Shengjing glanced at Su Jiu, who was lying on the bed. Not wanting to wake her up, he lowered his voice and said, “Alright, let’s not talk about this for now. Anyway, I can’t accept him as my son-in-law yet. We’ll talk about it later.”

Rong Si walked out of the ward but did not leave immediately. Instead, he walked to the safe exit and leaned against the wall. He waited until Su Shengjing and An Yuan came out of the ward and entered the lounge next door before walking out and stopping at the door of Su Jiu’s ward.

Auntie Zhang had stayed with Su Jiu in the ward, tucking her in as if she were her own child.

Seeing that Su Jiu seemed to be asleep, she lay down on the sofa to rest.

Time passed. As the night deepened, it began to quiet around them. Only the occasional cricket chirp could be heard.

The corridor was empty. The incandescent light on the ceiling glowed softly. Rong Si stood outside the ward for a moment, watching Su Jiu, then sat down in the lounge chair by the door.

He wanted to stay with her a little longer. He would leave later.

Suddenly, he heard a click, and the door to the ward opened. A small head poked out.

When she saw him sitting by the door, Su Jiu’s eyes lit up. She wanted to call out to him, but she realized that Auntie Zhang was still in the ward. She quickly swallowed her words and walked out of the ward quietly.

When Rong Si turned and saw her, he was stunned.

I thought she was asleep.

He stood up immediately and saw that she was wearing a thin hospital gown. Without a word, he reached out and pulled her into his arms, enveloping her with his warmth. “Why are you awake?” he whispered.

Su Jiu wrapped her arms around his waist and looked up at him. She giggled. “Actually, I wasn’t asleep. I was just pretending!”
