Chapter 405: Chapter 405: Missing

"Grandpa, it’s Xiaoqiao! I came back safe and sound..."

"Grandpa, I’m sorry for making you worried and frightened all these years!"

"Grandpa, could you please get better soon? Xiaoqiao really wants to talk to you..."

Xiaoqiao felt her grandpa’s fingers move and asked Mu WuXie excitedly, "Is Grandpa waking up?"

After observing for a while, Mu WuXie saw the elderly man open his eyes very slowly, his murky pupils focusing immediately after sweeping over Xiaoqiao in front of the hospital bed.

Grandpa Gong’s expression was extremely excited, and he breathed heavily, as if he wanted to speak.

Mu WuXie helped him remove his oxygen mask.

"Xiaoqiao... Xiaoqiao..."

Hearing her grandpa’s voice, Xiaoqiao immediately responded excitedly, "It’s me! Grandpa! I’m Xiaoqiao!"

Grandpa Gong’s expression was serene yet tinged with a hint of sorrow, "Am I about to die..."

"Grandpa, what nonsense are you talking about! You’re not going to die!"

"Grandpa Gong, it really is Xiaoqiao who has come back! Feel her hand!"

Grandpa Gong slowly placed his hand in Xiaoqiao’s, his powerless palm tightening slightly. Then, with tears welling up in his eyes and overwhelmed with emotion, he almost couldn’t speak, "Xiaoqiao, it’s really you, my girl!"

"Grandpa, I’m sorry for not coming to see you for so long!"

Grandpa Gong asked something, but Xiaoqiao didn’t catch it. She leaned in closer and heard him asking if she would leave again, and he tried hard to reassure her that the police warrant had been canceled, and that with him around, he would never let Gu Hangshen bully her.

Xiaoqiao nodded repeatedly, "I understand, Grandpa! Don’t talk anymore! Rest well! You must get better quickly! I promise I’ll never disappear again, and I’ll give you all my phone numbers, even my cell number! You can call me anytime!"

The reason Xiaoqiao agreed so readily was because she had already thought that Gu Hangshen only told her to leave City A, without forbidding her from contacting Grandpa.

If Grandpa missed her and wanted to see her, once Grandpa’s health improved, she could definitely bring him over to Japan to meet.

After hearing Xiaoqiao’s promise, assured that she wouldn’t disappear without a word again, Grandpa Gong finally relaxed and nodded, but he still couldn’t bear to close his eyes.

Mu WuXie stood behind Xiaoqiao, guiding her with his fingers on her back to ensure that Xiaoqiao could "look" at Grandpa Gong from the correct angle.

To spare the old man any worry, it was better not to let him know about her blindness for now.

—

After staying with Grandpa Gong for a while, until the old man fell asleep, Xiaoqiao reluctantly left the hospital room.

A young nurse rushed over to find Mu WuXie, apparently there was a critical patient, and Mu WuXie glanced at her worriedly before quickly saying goodbye and departing.

Xiaoqiao had only taken a few steps out when she was suddenly smothered by a soft embrace and pushed back several steps against the door.

"You heartless thing, you left for so many years without a word, do you have any idea how much I missed you, jerk!"

"Uh, Nana..."

Leng Jing appeared very composed, while several men present twitched their mouths silently upon hearing Han Yingnai’s words.

"Nana! I’m sorry... Alright, no more crying, how can you not have grown up even a little bit after three years..."

"I don’t care, I’m going wherever you go from now on! I’m sticking with you!" Nana said, clinging to her waist without letting go.
