Chapter 1768: Chapter 1761: Will You Be My Dad?

Just as Qiu Yingrong anticipated, when she opened the ward door, the figures of Lu Tianxing and the others appeared in her view.

”Good morning, Miss Qiu.”

Upon seeing Qiu Yingrong, Lu Tianxing smiled, nodding in greeting.

Bai Zhiqing and Lin Qianru also smiled as they greeted Qiu Yingrong.

”Hello, Mr. Lu, Miss Bai, Miss Lin, please come in.”

Upon hearing Lu Tianxing’s words, Qiu Yingrong immediately motioned Lu Tianxing, Bai Zhiqing, and Lin Qianru to enter.

”Sis, I won’t come in. I have some matters to attend to,” Qiu Tianrui said softly at the door. Given Lu Tianxing’s attitude and displayed strength towards Sun Yaoyang today, he must inform his grandfather.

”Alright then, Tianrui, go ahead and take care of your business.”

Qiu Yingrong nodded without much thought and led Lu Tianxing into the ward.

”Mommy, mommy, is the uncle who saved me here? Where is he?”

As soon as Qiu Yingrong led Lu Tianxing into the room, Lingling’s voice rang out, followed by her jumping off the bed, excitedly waving her arms.

Seeing her daughter’s demeanor, Qiu Yingrong smiled gently, ”Lingling, look, this uncle is the one who saved you yesterday.”

While speaking, Qiu Yingrong pointed at Lu Tianxing, who was following her inside.

Hearing her mother’s words, Lingling instinctively looked at Lu Tianxing, her eyes shining brightly, ”Uncle, Uncle...!”

At that moment, Lingling resembled a joyful little sprite, making anyone who saw her want to hold her tightly.

Seeing Lingling wave her arms, Lu Tianxing smiled faintly and hurried to the bedside, gently embracing her, ”Lingling, why are you calling Uncle? How are you feeling today? Is your health better now?”

”Uncle, I feel much better. But mommy forced Lingling to take medicine this morning, it was so bitter, I didn’t want to take it, so mommy threatened to spank me. Uncle, can you protect Lingling?” Lingling said with a small frown.

”Really?”

Lu Tianxing smiled, ”But Lingling, taking your medication will help you recover faster, you know?”

”Yes, I know. Uncle, thank you for saving me yesterday.” Lingling nodded earnestly.

Standing by, Qiu Yingrong watched the interaction between Lu Tianxing and her daughter, her eyes reflecting undisguised amazement. Lingling was her daughter, and she knew her daughter’s personality too well.

Though lively around her, Lingling was always cautious in front of outsiders, lacking the courage to even greet strangers, exceptionally introverted.

But now, her daughter met Lu Tianxing only for the second time—no, the first time she was unconscious, so technically, this was their first meeting, yet she showed no signs of unease or fear that one typically associated with strangers. Instead, she behaved like she was with her, relaxed—no, her daughter’s reliance on Lu Tianxing seemed to surpass that on her.

”Sister Ying Rong, is this your daughter? She’s such a lovely girl.”

Bai Zhiqing and Lin Qianru approached Qiu Yingrong, watching Lingling play with Lu Tianxing, faces tinged with envy, wondering if their future children with Lu Tianxing would be just as adorable.

”Zhiqing, you’re jesting. She’s not lovely at all, just a mischief-maker, causing trouble all day,”

Qiu Yingrong smiled at Bai Zhiqing, ”But you two, Miss Bai and Miss Lin, are so beautiful, and having Mr. Lu as such a handsome husband, your future children will surely be handsome boys and pretty girls, envied by all.”

Upon hearing Qiu Yingrong’s words, Bai Zhiqing and Lin Qianru’s faces broke into radiant smiles, as a subtle, unexpected feeling flickered within them, their gaze momentarily resting on Lu Tianxing with an indistinct undertone.

”Uncle, are you married?”

Lingling clung to Lu Tianxing’s neck, her small face displaying confusion.

”How did you know?”

Surprised by the question, Lu Tianxing paused for a moment.

Upon hearing Lu Tianxing’s response, Lingling’s face fell, like a reprimanded student, her head lowered, ”Oh, you’re married, Uncle. I was hoping you could be my dad and marry my mommy.”

Lu Tianxing, hearing Lingling’s words, felt exasperated, wondering if children were becoming so mature these days.

”Lingling, what are you saying? If you keep talking nonsense, I’ll spank you.” At that moment, Qiu Yingrong broke off from talking with Bai Zhiqing and Lin Qianru. Hearing her daughter’s words to Lu Tianxing, a blush crept onto her face; she sternly looked at Lingling.

Seeing her mother’s stern expression, Lingling immediately burrowed into Lu Tianxing’s arms like a mouse encountering a cat, murmuring softly, ”I’m not talking nonsense, I’m not talking nonsense. I want Uncle to be my dad. He’s so tall, he can surely protect mommy and Lingling, so nobody can bully mommy, and he can chase off the bad guy who upset mommy last time.”

Qiu Yingrong’s body trembled slightly upon hearing these words, an intense pang emerged within her; she never expected Lingling to express such thoughts.

Listening to Lingling, and noticing Qiu Yingrong’s pained appearance, Lu Tianxing sighed internally, feeling a mix of sympathy and understanding. Despite Qiu Yingrong being a daughter of the Qiu Family, she was still a widow, and widows often faced all sorts of troubles; harassment was not at all surprising.

Qiu Yingrong took a deep breath, attempting to steady her thoughts while looking apologetically at Lu Tianxing, ”Mr. Lu, I’m sorry, after Lingling was born, her father passed away. So Lingling has always yearned for a father’s presence. And you saved her, that’s why she said those things; please don’t mind.”

”It’s fine, Miss Qiu, don’t worry about it, it’s just child’s play, I won’t take it to heart,” Lu Tianxing shook his head.

”Mommy, can Uncle be my dad?” Just then, Lingling raised her head cautiously from Lu Tianxing’s embrace.

”Lingling, you...”

Qiu Yingrong’s face turned visibly sour again.
