Dr. Su, let's have a love affair

Su Xiaoxiao originally wanted to take a half-month vacation and go to several ancient water towns in the south of the Yangtze River for her honeymoon with Ji Xingyuan.

However, now that she was pregnant, she didn't want to go through the trouble, so the two canceled their honeymoon plans.

Decided to make up for it later.

Two days after their wedding, the two returned to the Ji family's old house every day to have dinner and get together with the whole family.

She also gradually became familiar with these non-local members of the Ji family.

Ji Xingyuan has two older brothers. The eldest brother returned from studying abroad at a top university several years ago and has been doing scientific research in China. His identity and work content need to be kept confidential.

My sister-in-law is an associate professor at a university.

Both husband and wife are serious and scholarly.

The second brother works in the art field. The Chang family travels around the world and he married a foreign wife with blonde hair and blue eyes who also works in the art field.

Both the husband and wife have strong artistic talent and are quite famous in the art world.

The children of Ji Yutang's other four siblings have also settled both at home and abroad. They are all very outstanding and have different personalities.

However, after two or three days of getting along and observing.

Su Xiaoxiao could still see that among the dozen or so grandchildren, Grandma Ji Xingyuan seemed to love Ji Xingyuan the most, who was neither the eldest nor the youngest.

Because of his love for her, he seemed to love the new granddaughter-in-law the most among all his granddaughters-in-law.

On the second night after our wedding, after dinner at the old house, we were on our way back to Jiangnanli.

Sitting in the car, Su Xiaoxiao couldn't help but ask Ji Xingyuan curiously: "Husband, grandma has so many grandchildren, why does she seem to like you the most?"

"Maybe it's because your husband is the most handsome one." Ji Xingyuan raised the corner of his lips and replied jokingly.

"I'm asking you seriously."

"Okay, let's be serious, husband." Ji Xingyuan stopped joking, his eyes suddenly becoming distant. "Maybe it's because I'm the only grandson who has ever made grandma feel lost and found."

"Lost and found again? What does that mean? Did grandma ever lose you?"

"When I was ten, my father was retaliated against by his business rivals. They sent someone to kidnap me and secretly hid me in a small county town. That was the most turbulent year for my family."

"You actually encountered such a thing, what happened next?"

Su Xiaoxiao widened her clear and bright eyes and looked up at him with worry and expectation.

Ji Xingyuan turned around and smiled tenderly and warmly.

"Later, I managed to escape thanks to my cleverness. And... I also met the most important person in my life."

Ji Xingyuan spoke with some emotion, controlling the steering wheel calmly and gracefully with one hand, while reaching out with the other hand to squeeze Su Xiaoxiao's soft hand.

It happened nineteen years ago, but when he recalls it now, it is still vivid in his mind.

He also felt extremely fortunate in his heart.

After many years and two missed opportunities, he finally fulfilled his promise and brought the lovely and kind little girl back home.

She became his wife and stayed with him all his life.

"You met the most important person in your life. Who is it?" Su Xiaoxiao was very curious and also felt jealous.

It seems that she really has no memory of him when he was young.

A hint of disappointment flashed across Ji Xingyuan's eyes, but it disappeared in an instant. He replied in an extremely gentle voice, "A five-year-old girl."

"A five-year-old girl?"

"Yes, a very cute, kind-hearted, idealistic and smart little girl."

Since he had brought up this topic with Su Xiaoxiao today, Ji Xingyuan decided to let things take their course.

He told her the whole story of their acquaintance when they were young, from beginning to end.

**

When he was ten years old, Ji Xingyuan was kidnapped and smuggled to a small county town several hours' drive away from Haicheng.

Later, he managed to sneak out and passed by a dilapidated orphanage nearby, tired and hungry.

I saw a little girl with two ponytails standing alone under the fence on one side of the orphanage, holding on to the iron railings with both hands.

Staring outside blankly.

The yard was fenced on all sides, and the railings were too high for the little girl's petite stature.

The little girl stood there, like a lonely, imprisoned bird in a cage.

Ji Xingyuan, who had just experienced being imprisoned, immediately felt pity for the little girl. He walked over with concern and curiosity, standing at a distance of iron railings between them.

"Little sister, do you want to come out?"

The little girl didn't answer, looked at him confusedly, and then nodded.

"Then let me help you!"

When the little girl heard Ji Xingyuan's words, she pouted slightly.

He said in a childish voice, "But the gate is locked. The director said we can't run around, or we'll be taken away by bad guys."

"You don't have to run around. When I get home, I'll have my parents talk to your dean and have you live with me. My house is big, and my parents are very nice."

"Really? Then your parents can become my parents?"

The little girl didn't think too much about it. She just felt happy that finally someone was willing to be her father or mother.

"Yes, yes!"

"That's great, thank you, big brother! Big brother, what's your name?"

"My name is Ji Xingyuan."

"Big brother's name is a bit complicated, I'm afraid I can't remember it. Can I call you A Yuan? A Yuan is easier to remember." The little girl looked frank.

Ji Xingyuan smiled and said, "Okay, then you can call me A Yuan. What's your name?"

"My name is Zhou Xiaotong, and I have the same last name as the dean's mother."

"Oh." The girl has the same surname as the dean, which means that the dean doesn't even know the surnames of the little girl's parents. What a poor little girl.

Ji Xingyuan couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

Although he was only ten years old at the time, he was born into a wealthy family and had broader horizons than his peers from ordinary families.

He can be said to be mature beyond his years.

"A Yuan, your hand is broken. Let me get you a Band-Aid. I know where the director's mother keeps the Band-Aid."

Ji Xingyuan held the iron railing with both hands. When Zhou Xiaotong looked down, he found red marks on his wrists, and the skin was broken in some places.

I hurried to get him a Band-Aid.

"Hey, no need to take it..."

Ji Xingyuan wanted to say that this injury was nothing, but Zhou Xiaotong had already turned around and trotted away, swinging her lively twin ponytails like a cute little rabbit.

He had no choice but to stand there and wait for her to come over.

After a while, she came over trotting, panting slightly, her little face red.

Moreover, both little hands were holding things.

"A Yuan, I got two Band-Aids that the director's mom didn't see. I also got these two candies that I've been hiding for days and haven't been willing to eat. Here they are."

"Thank you, Xiaotong. You can have the candy. I don't want any."

Ji Xingyuan was deeply moved, and this feeling of being moved stayed with him for many years.

"The candy is so delicious, why don't you eat it, Yuan? Are you worried that I won't have any? Otherwise, let's each have one."

Zhou Xiaotong then distributed them, put one in Ji Xingyuan's hand, and kept one for herself.

Then, he tore off a Band-Aid and put it on Ji Xingyuan.

"I can do it myself."

"I know how to put this on. I helped other kids do it a few days ago."

Zhou Xiaotong insisted on putting a Band-Aid on Ji Xingyuan, so Ji Xingyuan had no choice but to let her do it.

She placed one on each of his wrists where the skin was broken, applying it gently and carefully, as if she was afraid of hurting him.

After sticking it on, she breathed a sigh of relief and smiled happily.

Then raise your little head.

With an innocent look on her face, she said to Ji Xingyuan, "Ah Yuan, I want to be a doctor when I grow up. That way, if you get hurt or sick again in the future, I can treat you."

"You want to become a doctor so that you can treat me in the future?"

Ji Xingyuan widened his eyes, somewhat shocked by Zhou Xiaotong's frank and childish words.
