Chapter 173: Meeting Uncle Guang with Tantan

Gu Chen nodded, 'Okay.'

Afterwards, he took his phone.

Time passed quickly, and before they knew it, the sun was about to set.

Seeing that it was about to get dark, Ji Pianran looked at Tantan, who was sitting on the girl's flat bed opposite, playing rock-paper-scissors with her, with some reluctance.

He said to Gu Chen in a light tone, 'It's getting dark, take the child and go home.'

It will be dark soon, and the road will be difficult to walk on, they should go home.

To be honest, Gu Chen didn't want to go back, the time the family of three spent together was really relaxing and enjoyable.

He really wanted to stay a little longer.

But soon it would be dinner time.

Tang Tang hadn't eaten yet, and if he didn't go back alone, it would be fine to find somewhere at the hospital to get by for the night.

But with his daughter, it would be bad to make her suffer along with him.

He shrugged, nodding helplessly, 'I know, I'll come see you again in the morning.'

Ji Pianran smiled, "Okay.'

'Tantan, we should go home now," Gu Chen looked at Tantan with patience.

The little one heard that it was time to go, and with a twist of her chubby little bottom, she climbed off the little girl's hospital bed and ran over with her little feet.

In the meantime, the little one has been fattened up by Gu Chen, and her skin has become white and tender. Her little mouth is pink, and she looks extremely cute.

She pounced onto Ji Pianran's bed and looked up at her.

Her little face, with a hint of baby fat, was full of seriousness.

'Mommy, are you coming back with us?'

She wanted both her parents to come home.

Ji Pianran reached out and affectionately stroked the top of her head, speaking softly.

'Tantan, can you be a little more patient? Tomorrow, tomorrow mommy can go home.'

In the afternoon, when the doctor came to check on her, she said that she had recovered very well and that if there were no complications, she could be discharged from the hospital tomorrow.

'Mommy is still sick right now, and she needs to cooperate with the tests in order to get better quickly. She can't go home until she gets better,' Gu Chen also coaxed her.

After listening to the two of them, the little one obediently nodded.

'Okay, then tomorrow mommy's husband and I will come and pick her up,'

'Oh yes, take these cherries back with you, so that we don't have to carry as much tomorrow.' Ji Pianran pointed to a large bag of cherries on her bedside table.

She couldn't eat again today, and she would be discharged from the hospital tomorrow, so she would have to take the cherries back with her anyway. It would be better for Gu Chen to take them back now, so that Tang Tang could have something to eat in the evening.

'Just leave them here, you can eat them in the morning,' Gu Chen laughed.

The cherries were really good, and he really wanted Ji Pianran to try them.

Ji Pianran gave a small smile.

'So, should I have breakfast or fruit in the morning?'

Gu Chen was so intent on getting Ji Pianran to try the cherries that he forgot that she really couldn't eat them.

He shook his head and giggled, 'Okay, I'll eat them at home tomorrow.'

Gu Chen carried Tang Tang in one arm and the cherries in the other.

As they left the hospital department, the sun had already set and the sky was aflame with sunset hues.

The slightly damp air carried a faint earthy smell, and Gu Chen seemed to smell vibrant life.

Tang Tang was in Gu Chen's arms, her two cute pigtails a little yellow from the setting sun.

She looked even cuter.

She nestled against Gu Chen's neck and said in a baby voice, 'Daddy, is it time to eat yet?'

'Yes, what would you like to eat, Tongtong? Do you want me to cook for you or do you want to eat out?'

Hearing that they could eat out, the little girl's eyes lit up instantly and her tone became excited.

'Daddy, meat buns.'

The meat buns that Daddy bought for her last time were really delicious.

She really, really wants to taste them again.

The little girl's expression of longing made Gu Chen unable to help but smile.

'Okay.'

At this moment, Uncle Guang, who had just finished work, walked in through the hospital doors. He looked up and saw Gu Chen again, and smiled warmly as he walked over to her.

'We meet again, what a coincidence. Your daughter...' As he spoke, Uncle Guang glanced over at Tang Tang in Gu Chen's arms.

At this glance, he instantly forgot what he was going to say.

The expression on his face was a little intriguing.

'This child is yours?'

She looks exactly like her when she was little. They are 60% similar, definitely.

This little face is just as cute and delicate.

Miss has been away from home for many years, and I don't know where she is now or if she is doing well.

Now that my husband's health is getting worse every day, if I don't find her soon, I'm afraid the two of them won't even get to meet for the last time.

Thinking about this, Uncle Guang is a little sad.

Gu Chen nods proudly, 'My daughter, isn't she beautiful?'

The little girl saw an uncle talking to her father and said, 'Hello, uncle,' in a sensible voice.

Her mother had told her that a good child would greet people.

She was a good child.

Uncle Guang had been in the Ji family for at least 20-odd years, and he had arrived when Ji Pianran was one year old.

It was really not an exaggeration to say that he had watched her grow up.

Seeing the little girl in front of him, he couldn't help but be reminded of some past events from decades ago. Back then, Ji Pianran was just like Tangtang now—saying hello to him like this made his heart melt.

Uncle Guang stroked her head, 'What uncle? You should be calling me grandpa.'

He then smiled at Gu Chen, "I dye my hair, it's already white, there's nothing I can do about it, I just want to look more energetic.'

Tangtang blinked, "But grandpa is so young~'

She is still young and doesn't know what it means to dye your hair. She just knows that white hair means grandpa and black hair means uncle.

The little girl's words made the two men laugh.

'How old are you?' Uncle Guang asked gently.

He had wanted to ask Gu Chen what his wife's name was, but that would have been a bit rude.

But after all, he didn't know the young man well, and he was afraid that if he asked so rashly, it would make the other person feel uncomfortable. So he had to turn his head and ask about Tang Tang again.

'Tangtang is almost three years old,' the little boy answered with a straight face, looking him in the eye.

'Oh, three years old,' Uncle Guang mused. If it really was Miss's child, it meant that she had only run away from home not long before she got pregnant.

She had left because she didn't want to get married, so how could she have gotten pregnant so soon after running away?

It seemed that the child had nothing to do with Miss.

But it didn't matter, why did they look so similar?

He was a little dazed.

'By the way, Uncle Guang, I bought a mobile phone, so please take note of the number,' Gu Chen said.

He had been asking for his contact information for several days, and since he now had a mobile phone, he naturally wanted to tell him.

Besides, the cordyceps had only sprouted a bud, so it was hard to say when it would be ready.

Leaving a contact information would be convenient for everyone.

'Haha, okay,' said Uncle Guang, as he fished his mobile phone out of his pocket.
