    Single-minded?

    “Recovering well, there are no problems.” The middle-aged male doctor with a kind face nodded to Fang Jinglun with satisfaction, “It seems that your kid has been quite obedient since he was discharged from the hospital and has not caused any trouble for me. Otherwise, if there is something wrong with this wound, Director Fang and the dean will have to tear me apart.”

    “Uncle Qin, what are you talking about? When have I ever caused trouble for you? Don’t talk nonsense in front of my girlfriend to ruin my image!”

    “No? You were injured in a fight when you were a child. You came to me quietly and asked me to bandage you. You also threatened me not to tell your parents, otherwise they would fire me. Do you think your threats were really effective? I saw you crying pitifully every time you were taught a lesson, so I helped you hide it.”

    “Yo? It turns out our little bully can still cry!”

    “Don’t listen to old man Qin’s nonsense!” Zuo Ning took the opportunity to tease her, and Fang Jinglun hugged her and walked out. When he reached the door, he suddenly turned around and said, “Old man, I forgot to ask you just now. Can I do some bed exercises now?”

    Doctor Qin glanced at Zuo Ning meaningfully and said with a suppressed smile: “Of course, the wounds have healed. No matter how severe it is, there won’t be any problems. However, I advise you to take it easy and don’t have problems at a young age. Otherwise, I’m afraid that Director Fang will put how to treat kidney deficiency on the agenda.”

    “Fang Jinglun!” Zuo Ning, who had just been in the mood to tease others, suddenly turned red and dragged Fang Jinglun outside without looking back. “Are you going to die? Why are you asking this?”

    “Isn’t this very important?” Fang Jinglun pointed to his eyes, “Look, there are four big words written here: dissatisfaction. Every time I want to talk to you, you say you are worried about my wound and push me away. I will choke to death.”

    “Then don’t ask so directly? I’m still there.”

    “What are you afraid of? That person inside is a doctor. Have you never heard that when a patient arrives at the hospital, he cannot treat the doctor as a human being? So just now, it was just the two of us, and we could say anything.”

    “…”

    It has been four months since Zuo Ning’s ankle surgery. The edema has finally completely subsided and she can move normally. However, even though she has been to the hospital, Fang Jinglun still drags her to the orthopedic department for a thorough review.

    This hospital was not the one where she had surgery before, but it was owned by Fang. Fang Jinglun was familiar with the hospital and quickly found the most reliable orthopedic doctor for her.

    The two came out of the building and were about to go to the open-air parking lot nearby, but they happened to bump into Fang Jinglun’s mother.

    After looking at the two of them with a smile, Fang’s mother finally cast her eyes on Zuo Ning: “Ning Ning, can I talk to you?”

    Fang Jinglun immediately opened his arms to protect Zuo Ning behind him: “Mom, I’ll talk to you about whatever you want to talk about. Don’t cause trouble to her.”

    Mother Fang lowered her head helplessly and smiled: “You kid, have you watched too many TV series? Do you think I will slap your mother or give her a check to let her leave you?”

    Fang Jinglun naturally knew that his mother would not do such a thing, but he still continued to stand in front of Zuo Ning like an old hen protecting her cubs: “I have told you many times, it is me who fell in love with her and couldn’t help myself, it was me who couldn’t live without her, and it was me who insisted on clinging to her. It has nothing to do with her.”

    “I know, that’s why I want to have a good talk with her.”

    Zuo Ning pulled Jinglun’s arm down and said with a smile, “I believe Auntie has no ill intentions.”

    The place where the two of them talked was in an open-air garden tea room on the top floor of the hospital. As soon as they sat down, their mother asked, “Do you like economics?”

    Zuo Ning was prepared for Fang’s mother to talk to her straight to the point, but she asked this in the first sentence, which made Zuo Ning stunned for a moment, and then nodded.

    Fang’s mother still stared at Zuo Ning’s expression seriously, and after a while she sighed again: “You should know that I asked Jinglun to go back with me last time just because I didn’t want him to continue to entangle with you.”

    “Yeah.”

    “I believe that Jinglun’s father and I are already very liberal parents in the world. Except for the dispute with him when he went to college, we rarely interfered with him in other matters. Even when he returned to China and just wanted to be an ordinary psychiatrist in a mental hospital, we didn’t object.

    Therefore, we have always been in favor of you being together with he, but there are some things that we really cannot accept.Ning Ning, I know you young people have your own way of making friends. You are an adult. I have no right to say anything about your private life, but Jinglun is my son. I can’t just watch him and you continue to be so unclear.”

    “I understand, Auntie.”

    “But my son, who has never grown up since he was a child, has really changed my mind now. Last time I asked him to go back, I thought he would continue to quarrel with us endlessly like before, but he didn’t.

    He quit his job and returned home to learn how to manage the company from his father and uncles. He shared the family’s worries at work and took care of his elders wholeheartedly. He did not retaliate even when scolded and was very considerate. He’s changes surprised everyone in his family.”

    Zuo Ning never knew what Fang Jinglun was like in those days when he returned home. Now that Fang’s mother said this, even she felt very surprised.

    “You didn’t expect it, right? That fiery-tempered Fang Jinglun would actually become mature and steady.” Fang’s mother chuckled and took a sip of tea, looking at Zuo Ning thoughtfully, “He told me that all these changes are because of you.”

    “Me?”

    “He said that because of you, he no longer acts impulsively, and knows how to consider others more and understand the difficulties of others. And because of you, he cherishes everything he has more, and cherishes his family who support and care for him. Most of his growth over the years has been influenced by you.”

    Zuo Ning smiled bitterly and shook his head: “He is exaggerating.”

    “No, I believe it, both his father and I believe it. We have always wanted him to change and grow in the direction we expected, but the fact is that we have never done it. So from this perspective, we should thank you, thank you for letting us see such an excellent Fang Jinglun after his transformation.

    Ningning, when Jinglun was hospitalized, I saw your concern and care for him. I believe that everything you did was sincere. If you really like him, then live a good life with him, okay?

    I don’t want to pursue the matter between you and other he men too much. Today’s society is so enlightened, and I won’t criticize you harshly with those old-fashioned dogmas. But I hope that from now on, you and he will be loyal to each other wholeheartedly. I only ask for so much, okay?”

    Zuo Ning felt mixed feelings in his heart, including guilt, shame, hesitation, entanglement, and loss…

    But facing such sincere eyes from Fang’s mother, she still nodded.
