"Grandpa Doctor, is Teacher really okay now?"
After Ye Feng woke up, Li Mucheng didn't selfishly cling to him for her own satisfaction. Instead, she sensibly called in a team of experts to examine Ye Feng. A group of elderly doctors surrounded him, conducting a series of tests with various devices, almost scrutinizing every inch of his body.
This situation gave Ye Feng quite a scare. Imagine being suddenly surrounded by a group of old men, being observed like a lab rat—anyone would be frightened.
"Miss Li, I must say, Mr. Ye's physical condition is truly excellent. Based on the results of all the tests, aside from some weakness due to exhaustion, everything else is normal. He just needs to stay in the hospital for a while to recover, and then he can be discharged."
"Really? Thank you, Grandpa Doctor!"
"You're too kind, Miss Li. If there's nothing else, we'll take our leave now. We hope you can put in a good word for our department in front of President Li."
After sending off the experts, the worry on Li Mucheng's face completely disappeared. For her, as long as Ye Feng was okay, that was the best outcome.
Li Mucheng skipped over to Ye Feng's bedside and sat down, saying happily, "Teacher, did you hear that? The doctors said you're fine! That's such a relief!"
"Well, it's all thanks to you, Miss..."
Seeing Li Mucheng's smile fade, Ye Feng quickly corrected himself.
"I mean, it's all thanks to you, Mucheng."
"Hehe, it's what I should do."
As she spoke, Li Mucheng picked up Ye Feng's medical report and scanned it repeatedly, as if trying to find some specific details about his condition. When she saw a line that read "normal function," her face turned red, and she quietly giggled before putting the report down.
"Miss... ahem, Mucheng, what are you laughing about? Why do you look so strange?"
"Nothing! I just wanted to make sure your report was accurate!"
At that moment, the door to the hospital room suddenly opened, and a flustered Li Jing walked in. Seeing that Li Mucheng's mood had improved, he let out a long sigh of relief.
Li Jing had originally planned to hire a specialized medical team to monitor Ye Feng around the clock, but Li Mucheng insisted on staying by his side day and night, barely resting. She would only eat or drink a little before claiming she had no appetite and returning to the room. Li Jing was so worried that he even considered forcing her to leave, but thankfully, Ye Feng had woken up.
"Father..."
Li Mucheng softly addressed Li Jing. She had seen everything Li Jing had done since Ye Feng arrived at the hospital, so her attitude toward him had softened compared to her initial indifference.
"Mucheng, would you like to eat something? With Ye Feng?"
"No... together?"
Li Mucheng was about to refuse but stopped when she heard the second part of Li Jing's sentence. She turned to look at Ye Feng, who shook his head slightly, and immediately replied, "Teacher said it's okay!"
"Pfft! Mucheng, you... mmm!"
Ye Feng tried to correct her, but his mouth was quickly covered by Li Mucheng's hand.
"Then, Father, could you arrange for two light meals for me and Teacher?"
"Alright... I understand."
Li Jing nodded stiffly, suddenly looking much older. He had just heard Ye Feng call his daughter "Mucheng," and he could guess that it was likely at Li Mucheng's insistence.
As Li Jing left the room to arrange for the meals, he happened to run into Su Wanli, who was walking toward them.
"Old Li, why are you out so soon? I just heard that Ye Feng woke up. How is he?"
"He's doing well. It seems like there's nothing serious."
"That's good to hear. Then why do you look so troubled? Isn't everything settled?"
"Sigh..."
"Why are you sighing? What's going on?"
Su Wanli quickly picked up on something from Li Jing's tone—it was a familiar sentiment he had also felt with Yu Xin.
"Is it about Mucheng and Ye Feng?"
Li Jing didn't say much, just nodded faintly.
"I thought so. So, Old Li, what do you think?"
"What do I think? As long as Mucheng is happy, I won't interfere. I just don't want her to get hurt. But I trust Ye Feng, so there's no need to worry about that."
"Then why are you frowning? This is a good thing."
"I'm frowning because, on one hand, Mucheng has grown up and has her own thoughts. But more importantly, it's because of Ye Feng..."
"Ye Feng? What do you mean? Didn't you just say you trust him?"
"You don't understand. I mean, Mucheng has feelings for Ye Feng, but that doesn't mean Ye Feng feels the same way."
"Are you saying Ye Feng doesn't like Mucheng? How is that possible! Mucheng is so beautiful. You've even turned down matchmaking offers from influential families for her sake."
"But haven't you noticed that Ye Feng doesn't seem to care much about romantic relationships?"
"Well... I have noticed that..."
"Exactly. I'm not worried about Ye Feng treating Mucheng badly. I'm worried that Mucheng might get hurt because of him."
"That's true... Actually, my Yu Xin is somewhat similar to Mucheng in this regard. It's been worrying me too."
"What? Are you saying Yu Xin is..."
"Exactly. You know, Ye Feng was unconscious for three days, and it happened to be the day he was supposed to teach her. When I told her Ye Feng couldn't make it, she cried and threw a tantrum all day. It wasn't until I promised to make up the lesson that she calmed down."
Su Wanli sighed deeply as well. The two fathers were deeply concerned about their daughters' happiness.
"Haha, knowing that I'm not the only one feeling this way makes me feel better. Alright, Old Su, but let's make one thing clear: the kids should handle their own affairs. We, as parents, don't need to meddle, okay?"
"Don't worry, I'm not one to scheme. But from the way you talk, it seems like you're growing more and more satisfied with Ye Feng."
"Well, if you're not satisfied, you can always tell Yu Xin to let go."
Li Jing teased.
"No way. I think Ye Feng is much better than other men. I'd rather have Yu Xin be with him than let some outsider take advantage of her."
