Chapter 222 - Baby, Call Me Brother
Chapter 222: Baby, Call Me Brother
When Chu Luo returned to her apartment, Li Yan wasn’t back yet.
She asked Phoenix to teleport her to the hospital.
She came early today and called Professor Tang.
Professor Tang asked her to go to the special ward area behind the Inpatient Department.
Chu Luo hung up the phone and walked back.
Just as she walked into the courtyard outside the hospitalization department, she saw Sun Tianhao striding over.
Sun Tianhao had his hands in his pockets and was wearing a pair of jeans and a dark blue short-sleeved t-shirt. His legs were long to begin with, and perhaps because he had undergone training, he had a straight back. He looked very imposing.
However, that tense face could make one annoyed.
“Follow. I’ll take you there.”
These words made it sound as if Chu Luo didn’t know where the special ward area was.
Well, she really didn’t know.
However…
“There’s an indicator over there. You didn’t have to specifically come out to pick me up.”
Sun Tianhao looked at her face for a few seconds. In the end, he turned around and left without saying anything.
Chu Luo followed.
Sun Tianhao slowed down and suddenly said, “When my grandfather recovers…” He originally wanted to say that he would definitely compete with her, but after looking at her petite body, he suddenly couldn’t speak.
“What?” Chu Luo looked at Sun Tianhao, who had stopped talking halfway.
Sun Tianhao looked ahead and pursed his lips.
Chu Luo: “…”
Why was this person so annoying?
At that moment, Sun Tianhao’s phone suddenly rang. He took it out to answer the call. It was unknown what the other party said, but she heard him say in a displeased tone, “I said not to come over. Why are you here?”
After two seconds, he said, “I’m in the courtyard at the Inpatient Department. If you want to come, hurry up.”
After saying that, he hung up the phone and said to Chu Luo, “Two people want to see my grandfather.”
Chu Luo nodded.
The two of them waited for a while before a young man and a young woman walked over.
The two of them looked to be about the same age as Sun Tianhao. The man had a crew cut and his skin color was healthy. He looked righteous and gave a good impression.
The woman had a ponytail and was quite good-looking. She looked like someone with a carefree personality. However, as soon as she walked over, her gaze was fixed on Chu Luo. Her eyes were filled with vigilance.
“Tianhao, who is this beauty?”
The man looked at Chu Luo, surprise flashing across his eyes. After asking, he subconsciously glanced at the woman walking beside him.
Sun Tianhao didn’t answer him immediately. Instead, he introduced the two of them to Chu Luo. “These two are my childhood friends. His name is Yang Bin, and she is Yang Lu. They are siblings.”
After saying that, he introduced Chu Luo to the two of them. “She’s Chu Luo.”
Chu Luo nodded at the two of them and turned around to walk back.
Sun Tianhao followed.
Yang Bin quickly strode over and pulled him back. He asked in a low voice, “Tianhao, when did you meet such a beauty? Why haven’t we heard about this?”
Yang Lu also walked over and frowned. “Brother Tianhao, it’s not good for you to bring a random girl to the hospital.”
Sun Tianhao was displeased to hear this. “What do you mean by a random girl? Chu Luo is very important to me and my family.”
This was their family’s benefactor. Later on, Doctor Tang had even specially explained to them that he actually wouldn’t have been able to save Old Master at all. That was why he had asked Chu Luo to do it. Later on, they also watched the video. Sun Tianhao kept watching. His grandfather had indeed experienced several life-and-death situations.
However, Sun Tianhao’s words had a different meaning to the siblings.
Yang Lu’s expression turned even uglier.
Yang Bin knew that his sister liked Sun Tianhao, so he walked over and put his arm on Sun Tianhao’s shoulder. As the two of them walked behind, he said in dissatisfaction, “Tianhao, you’re not being a good pal. You didn’t tell us that you had a girlfriend and even hid it so well.”
When Sun Tianhao heard those words, he stopped in his tracks and said to him with a strange expression, “She’s not my girlfriend.”
“She’s not? You have yet to successfully woo her?”
“Since Brother Tianhao hasn’t gotten an answer from Chu Luo, it’s not good for you to bring her to visit Grandpa Sun!”
Sun Tianhao looked at the siblings with a baffled look. “What are you guys talking about?”
After saying that, he shook off Yang Bin’s arm and strode back with a straight face.
Looking at Sun Tianhao’s back, Yang Lu was about to cry.
Seeing her like this, Yang Bin quickly comforted her. “Sister, don’t be anxious. Maybe we misunderstood Tianhao. Didn’t he not admit it?”
“He didn’t admit it because he hasn’t successfully wooed her yet.” Yang Lu was so angry that she was about to stomp her feet. She turned around and walked back.
Yang Bin quickly grabbed her arm. “Lulu, what are you doing?”
“Why should I still stay here when he already has a girlfriend? Am I supposed to watch him treat other girls well?!”
“Don’t forget that we’re here to see Grandpa Sun. If you really go back after coming all the way here, won’t you feel embarrassed?”
“I…”
Yang Lu was really sad, but upon hearing Yang Bin say that, she could only follow him and chase after Sun Tianhao.
The special ward area had small courtyards, with one patient to one courtyard. The environment in the courtyard was quiet and suited for patients’ recuperation.
When Chu Luo arrived, Professor Tang was standing outside the door talking with the masters of the Sun family.
When he saw Chu Luo coming over, he said to her, “Little Chu, come over quickly.”
Chu Luo walked over and greeted the masters of the Sun family before looking at Professor Tang.
Professor Tang said, “I’ll take you to see Old Master Sun first.”
Chu Luo nodded.
The group of them walked in together.
Old Master Sun lived in the ward downstairs. As Professor Tang walked, he told her about Old Master Sun’s health and various indicators for the past few hours.
Soon, they arrived outside Old Master Sun’s room. Chu Luo said to the masters of the Sun family behind her, “You guys wait outside.”
The masters of the Sun family didn’t say anything and stopped.
Chu Luo and Professor Tang walked in.
At this moment, Old Master Sun was still covered in tubes. There were two professional senior nurses taking care of him in the room.
Chu Luo asked the two nurses a few questions before walking to Old Master Sun’s side and looking at the instrument display beside him.
Then, she lifted Old Master Sun’s eyelids to take a look.
“There’s a little too much blood clot in Old Master Sun’s body.”
Professor Tang nodded and said, “We can only wait for his body to dissolve that by itself.”
“No.” Chu Luo frowned. “He must have suffered many hidden injuries when he was young.”
The door wasn’t tightly closed. When the masters of the Sun family heard this, Eldest Master Sun quickly replied, “That’s right. Our father suffered many internal injuries when he was young. After he got older, we specifically found an old Chinese doctor to help him recuperate. Later on, his health improved.”
Chu Luo nodded and asked, “Are there silver needles here?”
“Yes, I’ll get them for you.”
Professor Tang brought over a set of silver needles. Chu Luo gestured to one of the nurses. “Pull his blanket up to his navel.”
After the nurse lifted the blanket, Chu Luo lifted his hospital gown and pressed a few acupoints. She quickly inserted the silver needles.
At this moment, everyone subconsciously held their breaths and didn’t dare to speak.
When Sun Tianhao, who came in from behind, saw his father and uncles standing outside the door, he walked over and stood behind them.
Although he didn’t know what was going on in the room, he didn’t dare to speak.
At this moment, two sets of footsteps came from behind.
“Tianhao…”
“Shh, don’t speak.”
After shushing them, Sun Tianhao turned around and stared at the door.
Yang Bin and Yang Lu looked at each other. Seeing that the parents of the Sun family were here, they didn’t dare to continue asking and could only stand there and wait.
After about an hour, the door was opened. The heads of the Sun family moved to the side and Chu Luo walked out alone.
When she came out, she was still holding her phone and obviously texting.
Yang Bin and Yang Lu’s eyes widened.
After Chu Luo came out, she said, “You can go in.”
She then walked out. Li Yan had called her just now, but she hadn’t answered. She was about to go out to return his call.
After saying that, Chu Luo strode out.
Yang Bin and Yang Lu looked at Chu Luo walking out and then at the Sun family members walking in. They were a little stunned.
Yang Bin said to Yang Lu, who was standing there, “Let’s go in and see Grandpa Sun.”
Yang Lu glanced at the door and nodded before walking towards Old Master Sun’s ward with him.
Chu Luo walked out of the door and walked to a corner of the courtyard to call Li Yan.
The call went through quickly.
Chu Luo called out to him sweetly, “Li…”
Li Yan interrupted her before she could finish. “Baby, call me Brother.”
Chu Luo: “…”
A magnetic chuckle came from the other end of the line. “My current identity is only your man. Li Yan is on a business trip in another country.”
When Chu Luo heard this, her face turned a little red. She responded with an “Mm,” but she felt a little awkward calling him “Brother.” Hence, she called out, “Yan.”
The other party actually stopped talking. Just as Chu Luo was feeling strange, Li Yan said in a hoarse voice, “Luoluo, I’ll come and pick you up later.”
When Chu Luo heard this, the corners of her lips couldn’t help but curl up. She nodded.
At this moment, she heard footsteps behind her. She tilted her head and saw that it was Yang Lu. She said to Li Yan, “Call me when you arrive.”
She then thought of what he had said in the morning and added, “I’m hungry.”
Li Yan chuckled. “I brought you a few pastries that you like.”
Chu Luo nodded happily. “I’ll hang up first.”
“Okay.”
After hanging up the phone, Chu Luo stopped smiling and turned to look at Yang Lu.
Yang Lu’s expression was very strange, as if she had found evidence of Chu Luo’s affair. She was furious. “You actually called another man and even sounded so intimate!”
