Addiction sets in at night; even the abstinent older man has fallen for it.

Seeing Xia Guiying's complicated expression, Ling Jieyu asked tentatively, "Aunt Xia, if Mu Tiantian is determined to be with Fu Zhengting, will you still allow her to acknowledge her ancestors?"

Without thinking, Xia Guiying blurted out, "I will never let my daughter be with Fu Zhenlong's son."

How can they be together when they have such a huge grudge and conflict?

She couldn't believe that in her daughter's heart, family members were less important than a man.

Right now, the most important thing is to build a relationship with my daughter.

She added, "Recognizing one's ancestors is definitely necessary. Tian Tian and I have just recognized each other, and I don't want to force her to make a choice. Who knows, Fu Zhengting might not wake up."

She cursed in her heart again and again, wishing she were dead, that there would be no more trouble if she were dead.

Ling Jieyu sensed Xia Guiying's deep hostility towards Fu Zhengting.

He needs to start thinking about the possibility of his elders wanting him to marry Mu Tiantian.

Perhaps he could reach a consensus with Mu Tiantian that he needs a marriage of convenience to stop his parents from pressuring him to get married.

"We'll know in two days, just in time for the paternity test results to come out."

Xia Guiying nodded, suddenly feeling that two days had been a very long time.

If only paternity test results could be obtained immediately.

Let's wait patiently and spend these next few days with our daughter.

"Aunt Xia, if there's nothing else, I'll be going now." Ling Jieyu started to leave.

Xia Guiying couldn't help but chime in, "Ayu, even if we don't let you marry Tiantian, you should still think about your marriage. You're already 32 years old..."

A 32-year-old man is in his prime; it's the time to enjoy happiness.

What's so great about getting married? There's so much trouble involved.

And he's also controlled by a woman, unable to go wherever he wants freely.

He has no desire to enter the grave of marriage.

Ling Jieyu certainly didn't dare say these words to his face, so he could only silently complain in his heart.

Although his parents had a harmonious relationship, he never longed for marriage.

He wasn't envious at all as his friends got married or engaged.

He can have many relationships, but he won't get married easily.

He feels a physical aversion to childbirth, and he wants to hit people whenever he hears children making noise.

Raising a child is incredibly troublesome; if it's a boy, you also have to worry about him finding a wife.

Just like how his father always urges him to get married, he doesn't know what his father is thinking. His father doesn't seem to mind, but after hearing it so many times, he feels tired for his father.

Having more children means worrying about potential infighting over inheritance.

Unless a woman truly comes along who makes him want to start a family.

He didn't refute it, but replied perfunctorily, "Aunt Xia, I'll consider it."

Xia Guiying knew Ling Jieyu was just being perfunctory. She watched him enter the elevator and smiled helplessly.

Young people today have changed their mindset; more and more of them don't want to get married.

Actually, she also misses the carefree single life she had before getting married.

I can sleep in whenever I want, without having to deal with so many people or experiencing family conflicts.

Marriage can lead to arguments, disappointment in men, and emotional exhaustion. Even when two people are together, they may still feel lonely.

The only good thing is that I have a beautiful and adorable baby daughter!

Life cannot be perfect; there are always trade-offs. If you want children, you have to give up your freedom; if you want freedom, you can't enjoy the warmth of your children.

Now that her beloved daughter has finally been found, she will not regret getting married.

She went to see the attending physician, hoping the doctor could examine her father-in-law and see if she could take him home so she could bring Tian Tian home as soon as possible and have a hot meal together as a family.

The attending physician was both surprised and delighted to hear that the patient had woken up, and followed Xia Guiying to the ward.

Seeing the old man, who was on the verge of death that morning, suddenly become as normal as ever, holding Mu Tiantian's hand and talking to her, he couldn't help but joke, "This is simply a medical miracle."

Having practiced medicine for many years, he once experienced an even more bizarre event.

An elderly person had already been taken to the morgue, but when the family was about to take them for cremation, they suddenly woke up.

Therefore, some people have an incredibly strong vitality.

However, such examples are few and far between.

He was very happy for the family that the old man was able to wake up so energetically.

Qin Dongyang happily replied, "Doctor, I told you, my dad will automatically get better once my precious daughter comes back."

Xia Guiying chimed in, "Ruohan's return is the best treatment for the elderly."

Grandpa Qin said, half-jokingly and half-seriously, "If I can't see my beloved granddaughter, death won't take me away! Not a chance!"

He spoke with humor and wit, which amused the attending physician.

Qin Dongyang and Xia Guiying laughed along.

The atmosphere in the ward instantly became very relaxed and harmonious.

Although Mu Tiantian couldn't laugh, she forced a smile to keep the atmosphere from cooling down.

"Dad, even though you've come back from the brink of death, just to be on the safe side, we still need to have Dr. Liu examine you," Xia Guiying reminded him.

Only then did Grandpa Qin have no choice but to release Mu Tiantian's hand.

Mu Tiantian stepped back and stood next to Xia Guiying.

The attending physician began to examine Grandpa Qin carefully.

While examining him, he asked, "Sir, do you feel unwell anywhere?"

"Apart from a slight pain in my feet and head, I'm fine. I think I could kill a cow." Old Master Qin liked to joke when he was in a good mood.

"Your foot and head pain are caused by a fall. The fall isn't serious, and you'll be fully recovered in about two weeks of hospitalization. The most important thing is to stay happy. Now that your wish has been fulfilled and your worries have been resolved, you'll recover quickly," the attending physician explained professionally after the examination.

Qin Dongyang and Xia Guiying both breathed a sigh of relief.

Taking this opportunity, Xia Guiying asked, "Dr. Liu, could you pick up the elderly person and take them home this afternoon?"

After careful consideration, the attending physician rejected Xia Guiying's idea. "The elderly patient has just woken up and her body has not yet recovered. She needs a short period of adjustment. I suggest that she be observed for at least three days. If her condition is good by then, she can be discharged from the hospital."

Xia Guiying felt that the doctor was right; elderly people couldn't withstand too much stress.

She didn't want her father-in-law to die from the stress of finding his daughter.

Qin Dongyang didn't want to take any risks, so he accepted the doctor's suggestion, "Let's see again in three days."

The attending physician gave some dietary advice and then left.

Hearing the doctor mention diet, Grandpa Qin felt a little hungry.

Qin Dongyang saw through his father's thoughts and asked with a knowing smile, "Dad, are you hungry?"

Grandpa Qin smiled so much that the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes narrowed into several layers. "I'm hungry. Dad really wants to have a big meal right now."

I've never been in such a good mood. I wish I could invite all my friends to a fancy restaurant to celebrate my granddaughter's return.

Unfortunately, my health doesn't allow it now.

In order to recover quickly, I must take good care of my health.
