It was seven o'clock when Mu Qiqi came to the hospital. She brought the chicken soup Su Zipei cooked for him along.
Rong Junhan was in the ward. When she saw Mu Qiqi, she pretended to talk to Shen Jianchuan casually. "I will go to the hospital kitchen to make you some food.
In fact, Rong Junhan loathed Mu Qiqi after the incident at Shen Mansion. She left because she wanted to get the clothes for Mu Tangxue.
Shen Jianchuan nodded but his gaze stayed on Mu Qiqi.
After Rong Junhan left, Mu Qiqi slowly relaxed. She asked, "Father, are you alright?"
Shen Jianchuan could sense Mu Qiqi's care from her eyes. He nodded his head lightly and uttered a simple answer. "Very... good."
"Does Aunt Rong make things difficult for you?"
Shen Jianchuan shook his head after listening to Mu Qiqi's question.
"Great." Mu Qiqi was not convinced with Shen Jianchuan's answer. But she did not understand her father well enough, so she was still unsure if her father had been bewitched by Rong Junhan.
Shen Jianchuan was satisfied as long as he could see his daughter. So, no matter how difficult the rehabilitation was, he would overcome the difficulties bravely.
Shen Jianchuan studied his daughter. She looked very much like Su Ziqing when she was young. But when he saw the tattoo on her earlobe, he asked, "The tattoo looked like a person's name, isn't it?"
Mu Qiqi was surprised when her father guessed it right. Then, she quickly calmed herself down and said, "Yes. It is the name of the person who saved me. I got this tattoo on my ear to show my gratitude toward him and to remind myself to live a good life."
Shen Jianchuan looked sorry for his daughter when he heard her answer.
"It is all my fault."
"No, it isn't. It has nothing to do with you." Mu Qiqi smiled. "If you really think that you are sorry, then you should hurry up and recover. Okay?"
Shen Jianchuan drank the chicken soup prepared by his daughter with satisfaction. Then, he listened to Mu Qiqi recounting the incident that happened in Shen Mansion.
But since he could not converse normally like people always did, the father and daughter did not talk for long.
An hour later, Mu Qiqi left the hospital.
Then, Rong Junhan entered the ward with dinner. "Has Qiqi left already?"
Shen Jianchuan nodded.
"Qiqi needs to be educated."
Shen Jianchuan did not respond.
He knew what happened in Shen Mansion. Grandpa Shen and Qiqi had told him earlier. He did not know if Qiqi needed to be educated yet, but he was very clear about Rong Junhan's wickedness.
She always tried to get chances to bully Qiqi. Because she looked like her mother, Su Ziqing. They were too similar.
After dinner, Shen Jianchuan saw the face he was familiar with again.
When Rong Junhan saw that it was "Mu Qiqi", she asked, "Why do you come back here?"
"I dropped something. So, I came to look for it."
