Although Ji Nian had been prepared for a long time, but the moment Lu Tingyu admitted, his mind was still blank.

He avoided Lu Tingyu's sight uncomfortably, his Adam's apple rolled slightly, "Mr. Lu, stop joking."

Lu Tingyu stared at him, "Do you think I'm joking?"

Looking at Lu Tingyu, Ji Nian could only see sincerity and solemnity in his eyes, without any frivolity.

Ji Nian still can't believe that Lu Tingyu really likes him, but only this reason can justify Lu Tingyu's abnormal behavior during this period.

Ji Nian's mind was in a mess, he lowered his eyes, his eyelashes trembled slightly, "Mr. Lu, I have a child, and I was divorced."

"I don't mind." Lu Tingyu didn't hesitate.

It was as if a stone had been thrown into the bottom of my heart, causing slight waves.

Before Ji Nian could speak, Lu Tingyu said again: "I have always treated An An as my own daughter."

Ji Nian clenched his fists slightly, and couldn't help asking: "Mr. Lu, what do you like about me?"

Lu Tingyu thought for a while, "Independent, strong, caring, responsible, these are the qualities I see in you."

Ji Nian never thought that this could be his advantage. If possible, he also wanted to be less independent and strong, and wanted someone to rely on and talk to.

Lu Tingyu took Ji Nian's expression into his eyes, and said slowly: "I didn't say it before, because I was worried about scaring you."

Ji Nian was indeed frightened, and he was so frightened that he couldn't figure it out. Who would have thought that a high-ranking person like Lu Tingyu would actually fall in love with a waiter, and this kind of plot that could only happen in novels and TV dramas would actually appear in his life.

Till now, Ji Nian still can't believe it.

Seeing that Ji Nian hadn't recovered from this situation, Lu Tingyu smiled slightly, and said slowly, "You can think about it slowly, I won't force you."

Ji Nian didn't even know when Lu Tingyu left, until An An's immature voice rang in his ears, which brought him back to his thoughts.

An An's big round eyes looked at him curiously, "Dad, what's the matter with you?"

Ji Nian's brain was in a mess, he collected his thoughts, forced a smile, "It's okay."

His expression was obviously not as relaxed as his tone. Ji Nian sat on the hospital bed, looked at An An holding the Barbie doll that Lu Tingyu gave him today, and said hesitantly: "An An, what do you think of Uncle Lu?"

An An said without thinking, "Uncle Lu is fine."

Ji Nian asked again: "Then do you like Uncle Lu?"

An An nodded vigorously, "I like Uncle Lu the most besides Dad!"

Ji Nian's throat felt a little dry, "Why?"

"Uncle Lu is good to An An." An An blinked and fluttered, "Uncle Lu always buys me gifts and tells me stories. When the sister nurse gave me injections, Uncle Lu told me not to be afraid. I'm eating candy."

Ji Nian can tell that An An really likes Lu Tingyu, and the child is always very sensitive to people who really treat him well, which also shows that Lu Tingyu is usually very good to An An.

Ji Nian didn't ask any more questions, but the dullness occupying his chest became heavier.

At this time, Sister Miao came over and asked, "Mr. Ji, what did Boss Lu just tell you? Why did I hear "like" and "consider" or something."

Ji Nian was a little absent-minded, and didn't notice the abnormal and eager hospitality on Sister Miao's expression, so he said perfunctorily, "It's nothing, just chatting casually."

Sister Miao asked persistently, "Does Mr. Lu like you?"

Hearing the word "like", Ji Nian's expression suddenly seemed to be burned. He stood up and said with some guilt: "Sister Miao, you are thinking too much. I'll go and see An An's medical expenses first."

After finishing speaking, Ji Nian took out his medical insurance card and went to the front desk as if fleeing.

Sister Miao looked thoughtful, as if she was thinking about something important.

That night, Ji Nian suffered from insomnia.

He looked at the ceiling in the dark night, his mind kept replaying Lu Tingyu's confession today, and his heart was in a mess.

He regretted making his words so clear, but he could no longer accept Lu Tingyu's kindness in vain.

The next night, Lu Tingyu came to the hospital to visit An An as usual, but there was no sign of Ji Nian in the ward.

Lu Tingyu looked at the only adult in the ward—Sister Miao, and asked where Ji Nian was going.

Sister Miao said with a smile: "Mr. Lu, Mr. Ji went to work and hasn't come back yet."

Lu Tingyu glanced at the wristwatch, and frowned, "The time hasn't come back yet?"

"Mr. Ji said that he will work overtime today, so it may be late."

Before Lu Tingyu could say anything else, Sister Miao quickly poured him a glass of water, with a smile on her face, "Boss Lu, drink some water."

Lu Tingyu glanced at Sister Miao, "Thank you."

Sister Miao repeatedly said no thanks, and when Lu Tingyu sat on the bedside to talk to An An, she walked to the corner, secretly took out his mobile phone from her pocket, took a photo of Lu Tingyu's handsome profile, and secretly sent it to a certain number.

Lu Tingyu stayed here for three hours, and in the early morning, Ji Nian still hadn't come back.

Lu Tingyu's expressionless face gradually turned dull, and he vaguely felt that something was wrong.

But he wasn't sure if Ji Nian was avoiding him.

But Lu Tingyu quickly confirmed it, because Ji Nian left work very late for several days.

Lu Tingyu called Manager Zhu, and the reply was that Ji Nian wanted to make more money and asked to work overtime.

Now with the support from Lugang Hospital and Ji Nian's two jobs, he has more than enough money. There is only one reason for his abnormal behavior, and Ji Nian is deliberately avoiding him.

Thinking of this, Lu Tingyu's jaw tightened, and the emotions in his eyes were like calm lake water suddenly stirred up turbulent emotions.

"Xiao Ji?"

The chef called Ji Nian several times through the window. He came back to his senses and said quickly, "Excuse me, what did you just say?"

The chef smiled and handed him the plate in his hand, "It's time to deliver the food."

Ji Nian responded in a low voice, looking uninspired, the chef asked concerned: "What's wrong with you, are you absent-minded?"

Ji Nian shook his head lightly.

The chef reminded: "I heard that Mr. Lu is here tonight, so be careful not to make mistakes."

I don't know who made a joke: "Boss Lu likes Xiao Ji so much, how could he punish him."

Ji Nian's fingertips seemed to be stabbed by a weak electric current, he raised his head suddenly, only heard the phrase "Mr. Lu is here", his heart beat a little fast, "Mr. Lu is here too?"

"Yeah, I just met Xiao Chen in the corridor when delivering food."

Seeing that Ji Nian's expression was not right, the chef joked with a smile: "Why do you react like this, isn't it normal for Mr. Lu to come to our clubhouse for dinner?"

If it was changed to before, Ji Nian didn't think there was any problem, but after what happened last time, Ji Nian still hasn't figured out how to face Lu Tingyu.

Just when Xiao Chen came to serve the food, Ji Nian hesitated for a moment, and called him to stop, "Xiao Chen, can you deliver the food to room 320 for me tonight?"

"Me?" Xiao Chen was a little excited, "Are you serious?"

Ji Nian nodded, he gestured to cover his stomach, and wrinkled his face with despicable acting skills and said, "I'm not feeling well today, please help me see it."

Xiao Chen couldn't wish for it, and suddenly thought of something, and said hesitantly: "Then the tip I received tonight..."

Ji Nian immediately said, "It's all yours."

Only then did Xiao Chen dispel his worries, and said with a smile: "No problem, I'll go now."

Pushing glasses to change glasses in the private room, chatting extensively, but Lu Tingyu's eyes kept staring at the door, the glass was in front of him

I don't know how long it took, the door of the box was pushed open from the outside, and the familiar work clothes came into view, but the face that came in was extremely strange.

Lu Tingyu's face was slightly gloomy, and he watched the strange waiter carefully bring the dishes to the table, and the name tag on his chest was also a name he had never heard of before.

Lu Tingyu suddenly said: "Isn't Ji Nian in charge of this box?"

Xiao Chen looked around, confirmed that Lu Tingyu was talking to him, and responded: "Mr. Lu, Ji Nian feels sick to his stomach, so let me help deliver some food."

Lu Tingyu's hand holding the wine glass paused, and unconsciously tightened a bit.

After Xiao Chen delivered the meal, he exited the box. He went back downstairs and ran into Ji Nian at the door of the bathroom.

Xiao Chen didn't have a deep friendship with Ji Nian at first, but because Ji Nian gave him the opportunity to deliver food in Room 302 today, he cared a little more: "Jinian, is your stomach feeling better?"

Ji Nian nodded, and heard Xiao Chen say: "Thank you tonight, I just received a few hundred tips."

Ji Nian forced a smile, and said "You're welcome", and after Xiao Chen left, he walked towards the kitchen with a heavy heart.

A pair of shiny and expensive leather shoes came into view unexpectedly.

Ji Nian raised his head, and Lu Tingyu walked towards him.

His back was slightly stiff, and his expression was replaced unnaturally, "Mr. Lu."

Lu Tingyu said, "I haven't seen you in the hospital for the past few days. I heard that you have been working overtime recently."

Before Ji Nian could speak, Lu Tingyu suddenly said, "Jinian, are you hiding from me?"

Ji Nian didn't look directly at him, but could still feel Lu Tingyu's scorching gaze resting on his face, and whispered: "No, it's just that the clubhouse is too busy, I don't have much time to go back."

Lu Tingyu sighed, the complex emotions contained in it sounded unbearable, "It's been a week, can I know your answer?"

Ji Nian's hands were curled up and placed on his lower abdomen, with a tangled expression.

Lu Tingyu looked at him quietly.

Ji Nian was silent for a long time, and mustered up the courage to speak: "Mr. Lu, I'm sorry, but I can't accept your kindness."

Lu Tingyu's expression didn't seem to change at all, but there was an undercurrent of emotion in his eyes.

Ji Nian's voice became lower and lower, "And our identities are not suitable."

Ji Nian has seen too many news about inappropriate families and households. He has self-knowledge, even if he is with Lu Tingyu, it won't last long.

"Mr. Lu, thank you for taking care of me and An An during this time." Ji Nian said sincerely: "The medical expenses you paid for me last time, and the gifts you gave An An, I will pay you every month in the future. It will be paid to you in installments."

Lu Tingyu didn't speak all the time, the atmosphere became solemn and oppressive invisibly, making people a little breathless.

Ji Nian didn't know how to face Lu Tingyu, he nodded at Lu Tingyu, turned and left holding the tray.

Lu Tingyu's dark pupils reflected Ji Nian's back. He closed his eyes, raised his head slowly, and his Adam's apple twitched forbearance.

Although he had already guessed that Ji Nian would not accept him so easily, but after he was really rejected by Ji Nian, the restlessness, annoyance, and anger of heart palpitations still couldn't be controlled and squeezed into his chest.

Looks like it's time for some serious medicine.
