Chapter 163: : Hero

In the morning, the first rays of sunlight pierced through the thin, pale blue curtains, like golden grains of sand falling on the soft bed.

The entire room was filled with a warm and peaceful atmosphere.

Ling Yao slowly opened her eyes, lazily sat up from the bed, yawned, got out of bed, and walked towards the bathroom.

After quickly tidying up, Ling Yao changed clothes and left the room.

When she reached downstairs, she saw Ling Xuemei’s busy figure in the kitchen from afar.

Ling Yao couldn’t help but smile slightly. She walked into the kitchen and called out softly, “Mom!”

Hearing the voice, Ling Xuemei turned around. Seeing Ling Yao, a gentle smile bloomed on her face,

 “Breakfast will be ready soon. Go to the dining room and wait for a while.”

For her, preparing every meal for her family was a kind of enjoyment. So, even after coming to the Ji family, she still liked to do it herself for every meal.

Ling Yao didn’t leave. She picked up a clean plate nearby and handed it to her mother,

 “Mom, I noticed you look especially beautiful today.”

Hearing this, Ling Xuemei thought about last night and blushed slightly, “I’ll do it myself.

Go out, don’t cause trouble here.” She was so embarrassed. It was all Yanting’s fault. He hadn’t shown any restraint all night, making her sore all over.

Ling Yao was pushed out of the kitchen by Ling Xuemei.

Ji Yanting came downstairs from upstairs, radiant. Seeing this scene, he smiled, “What are you two doing?”

Seeing the two most important people in his life so early in the morning made him feel particularly good. Especially last night, he was very satisfied.

“Good morning, Dad!” Ling Yao smiled and greeted Ji Yanting.

Ling Xuemei glared at Ji Yanting with a playful frown. It was all your fault.

“Good morning, Yaoyao!” Ji Yanting smiled and walked to Ling Xuemei’s side, putting his arm around her slender waist.

 He rubbed his cheek affectionately against her neck, “Wife, what delicious food did you make today? It smells so good!”

“Oh, my daughter is here. Can you be a little more serious?” Ling Xuemei blushed, shyly pushed Ji Yanting away, gave him a hard pinch on his waist, and turned to go back into the kitchen.

Ji Yanting didn’t get angry at all. He followed Ling Xuemei into the kitchen with a playful smile, “Wife, let me help you.”

“No, get out of here. Don’t cause trouble.” Ling Xuemei rolled her eyes at Ji Yanting, picked up a plate, opened the lid of the pot, and took out the steamed snacks inside to put on the plate. But she accidentally burned herself.

“Ouch!” She cried out in pain.

Ji Yanting quickly reached out to take the plate and put it aside.

At the same time, he pulled Ling Xuemei’s hand and put it to his mouth, gently blowing on it, “I’ll do this kind of rough work from now on. Does it still hurt? Should I run some water on it?”

Ling Xuemei blushed and shook her head, “It doesn’t hurt anymore. Let go, my daughter is outside.”

Ling Yao watched her parents in the kitchen, a faint smile playing on her lips. How wonderful! I hope Mom and Dad will always be this happy!

At this moment, the phone in the living room rang.

Ling Yao stood up, walked to the living room, and picked up the phone.

“Hello! Is Ling Yao there?” A voice came from the other end, it was Liu Wenshan.

“It’s me.”

“Ling Yao, are you free to come to the hospital today? A patient wants you to take a look at them.” Liu Wenshan said.

“Okay, I’ll be there at ten.” Ling Yao happened to be going to the hospital anyway.

When she arrived at the hospital, Liu Wenshan was already waiting for her.

Seeing Ling Yao come over, Liu Wenshan quickly greeted her, “Ling Yao, let’s talk as we walk.”

Ling Yao nodded and walked inside with Liu Wenshan side by side.

“It’s like this. A patient came to the hospital this morning. He’s badly injured. The patient’s identity is very special, so I wanted to ask you to take a look at him.”

“Okay.”

Ling Yao followed Liu Wenshan to the ward and found that it was next to Gu Qingan’s.

Gu Qingan had recovered a lot after a few days of rest. He was walking slowly with a cane.

Seeing a familiar figure walking past the door, he quickly walked over with his cane, confirming that he hadn’t mistaken it, and shouted, “Ling Yao!”

Ling Yao didn’t even pause. She followed Liu Wenshan into the next ward. She had no relationship with Gu Qingan anymore.

She didn’t want to have anything to do with him.

Entering the ward, she saw a man wrapped in bandages from head to toe. He was lying quietly in bed.

“He’s a narcotics police officer. He was unfortunately exposed during a mission and was brutally treated by the drug dealers.

When he was rescued, he was disfigured and in a terrible state.”

Liu Wenshan shook his head and sighed as he told Ling Yao.

Ling Yao stepped forward, walked to the bedside, and leaned closer to carefully examine the patient’s condition.

 Not only was his body covered in bandages, but his face was also covered with thick gauze.

Through the faint traces of blood that seeped out, one could imagine that his face had also suffered very serious injuries.

She took a pill from her pocket and put it in the patient’s mouth. He was a hero. She couldn’t just watch him die.

“Ling Yao, can he be saved?” Liu Wenshan asked.

Ling Yao was about to respond.

At this moment, a nurse walked in.

Seeing Ling Yao, Yang Qiuhong immediately recognized her. She walked over and asked sharply, “What are you doing in the hospital?”

Ling Yao ignored her. She placed her finger on the man’s wrist and focused on taking his pulse to diagnose his condition.

Seeing this, Yang Qiuhong continued to ask, “Aren’t you already married to Captain Lu? Why are you acting so ambiguous with this man? Is he your lover?”

After hearing these words, Liu Wenshan’s originally calm face turned dark, as if covered in frost. He was about to scold Yang Qiuhong.

Then, a crisp and loud sound came, “Slap!”

Ling Yao raised her hand and slapped Yang Qiuhong without hesitation. Her movements were swift and decisive, without any hesitation.

“Watch your mouth! If you dare to slander me again, I’ll make sure you never speak again!” Ling Yao’s tone was cold, with a chilling sense of pressure.

Yang Qiuhong was caught off guard. She covered her burning cheek and glared at Ling Yao with astonishment and resentment,

“You dare to hit me? Okay, you’ll regret this!

I’m going to go back and tell Captain Lu that you’re cheating on him and having an affair!

 Let’s see if he still wants a woman like you who doesn’t know how to be faithful!”

“Shut your mouth!” Liu Wenshan finally couldn’t take it anymore and roared.

Only then did Yang Qiuhong notice that Liu Wenshan was there.

“What’s your relationship with her? Are you one of her lovers too?”

 Liu Wenshan had just been transferred back to the capital from another city, so Yang Qiuhong didn’t know this new leader of the hospital.

Liu Wenshan trembled with anger. His finger almost poked Yang Qiuhong’s nose,

“A nurse like you, with no professional ethics, who just talks nonsense, we don’t need you in this hospital.

 Get your things and leave now. Don’t let me see you again.”

“Who do you think you are? What right do you have to fire me? Do you know who my husband is?”

Yang Qiuhong wasn’t fazed at all. Her husband was a captain. Even the hospital director would give her some face.
