Qiao Nuan still felt an incredible sense of absurdity when she walked into the elevator.
She could not help but ask her son in her arms, “Qiao Ning, did Mommy hear wrongly just now? Did that Gu guy just say that I think too highly of myself?!”
Qiao Ning patted Qiao Nuan’s chest to help her calm down. He comforted her like a bit of an adult, “Don’t be angry, Mommy. Mr. Gu is an adult who doesn’t mean what he says. He didn’t mean to make you angry.”
“Mr. Gu has always been weird. How could he not mean to make me angry?”
Qiao Nuan was not comforted. She still looked angry. “Qiao Ning, why are you speaking up for Mr. Gu? Have you been bought after spending a day with him?”
“I wasn’t. I love Mommy the most.” Qiao Ning quickly went up to plant a kiss on Qiao Nuan’s cheek. “Mr. Gu likes Mommy. That’s why he keeps making Mommy angry. He wasn’t doing it on purpose. He’s just childish and doesn’t know how to express his love.”
Qiao Nuan almost choked on her own saliva. She coughed a few times and looked at Qiao Ning in shock. “Qiao Ning, what nonsense are you talking about? How could Mr. Gu Cheng like me?”
“I’m not talking nonsense.” Qiao Ning puffed up his cheeks. He seemed very unhappy over his mother’s distrust. “When we first met this morning, Mr. Gu asked me if I wanted him to be a father. He must have wanted to rope me so I could help him pursue my mother!”
Although this conclusion was ridiculous and funny, Qiao Nuan felt that her son was simply eccentric when she saw his serious and analytical look.
Qiao Nuan didn’t know whether to laugh or cry as she ruffled Qiao Ning’s little curly hair. Qiao Nuan said helplessly, “Your mother isn’t a heartthrob. Don’t come into contact with a man and think that he’s interested in me.”
Qiao Ning was unconvinced and asked in confusion, “If he doesn’t like mother, why would he want to be my father?”
Qiao Nuan didn’t know why and could only give a partial reply, “Maybe that Gu Cheng guy has a problem and likes to be someone else’s father. Or maybe because you’re too cute, he wants to steal you away from mother.”
“No, I can’t be taken away!” Qiao Ning hugged Qiao Nuan’s neck nervously. “I want to be with Mommy for the rest of my life. I definitely can’t be separated from you.”
“Okay, okay, Mommy was just joking.” Seeing that Qiao Ning seemed to be frightened, Qiao Nuan quickly hugged him and comforted him gently. “You’re Mommy’s most important baby. How could Mommy let someone take you away?”
Qiao Nuan had never known that Qiao Ning’s heart was so sensitive. A simple joke had made him become particularly clingy.
The next day, Qiao Nuan wanted to keep Qiao Ning at the hotel, but Qiao Ning refused to keep Gu An company no matter what. Instead, he clung tightly to Qiao Nuan.
Qiao Ning squirmed in Qiao Nuan’s arms, acting coquettishly. “Mommy, you promised me yesterday that you would never leave me.”
Qiao Nuan had no choice but to agree. “Okay, okay. Today, Mommy will bring you to the hospital, but you have to be good, okay?”
“Don’t worry, Mommy. I’ll definitely be the most obedient child in the world!”
When Lawyer Wang saw Qiao Ning, he even gave him a red packet. Qiao Ning was immediately taken in by this old man who was always smiling.
After Su He’s injury, he stayed in the Gu family’s private hospital. Qiao Nuan had just brought Qiao Ning here two days ago, so Qiao Ning was quite familiar with the journey to the private hospital.
When he saw the hospital entrance, Qiao Ning immediately got excited. “Mommy, did you come to look for Mr. Huo today? Are you going to make Mr. Huo my dad?”
Lawyer Wang’s face was full of gossip as he looked at Qiao Ning with interest. “Qiao Ning, Tell me in detail about this Mr. Huo. Is he chasing your Mommy?”
Qiao Ning wasn’t lost at all. He immediately got excited and prepared to introduce her favorite Mr. Huo to Lawyer Wang.
Qiao Nuan quickly covered Qiao Ning’s mouth and changed the topic. “Lawyer Wang, don’t listen to Qiao Ning’s nonsense. We’re already here. Hurry up and go in.”
Lawyer Wang and Qiao Ning both had regretful expressions on their faces. Qiao Nuan rolled her eyes. Now, they could not exchange gossip. Let’s see how depressed the two of them would be.
Qiao Nuan was worried that if she had another conflict with Su He, she would not control her temper and do something in the hospital. She did not want Qiao Ning to see her violent side all the time, so before she went to see Su He, Qiao Nuan entrusted Qiao Ning to the hospital director, Liang Jing.
Liang Jing thought that Qiao Nuan was here to observe Old Master Gu’s condition. “Junior Uncle, the prescription you gave Old Master Gu was quite useful. Old Master Gu’s physical and mental condition has improved significantly…”
“Stop right there.” Qiao Nuan raised a hand to interrupt Liang Jing’s incessant chattering. “I’m here to visit other patients today, so it’s inconvenient for me to bring Qiao Ning over. Help me take care of him for a while first.”
“As a martial nephew, I’m more than willing to help you solve your problems!” Liang Jing solemnly took Qiao Ning away from Qiao Nuan’s arms. “Don’t worry, Junior Uncle. I’ll definitely take good care of Junior Brother.”
Qiao Nuan and Lawyer Wang arrived at Su He’s ward. Just as they were about to knock on the door, they heard voices in the room.
“Brother Su He, how did you get beaten up to this point?”
