Chapter 668 - Chapter 668 Chapter 668 Do you know what you are talking about

Chapter 668: Chapter 668 Do you know what you are talking about? Chapter 668: Chapter 668 Do you know what you are talking about? “…” Li Hanzhou was choked up, staring at her intently, “What?”

Qiao Yun repeated, “Make a wish.”

Li Hanzhou looked at her serious expression, his mind unusually slow to catch up.

The sudden suggestion from the youngster, was she hinting at something?

Or did she simply want him to make a wish?

In that instant, Li Hanzhou thought of many possibilities. He knew he had to say something now, or he might regret it for the rest of his life.

He cleared his throat gently and said with a tentative tone, “Any wish at all?”

Qiao Yun told him obediently, “As long as it’s not illegal, you can make any wish.”

Li Hanzhou, half leaning against the headboard, said half-jokingly and half-seriously, “Can I make a wish for you to like me, too?”

As soon as he said it, he frowned slightly, feeling like there was something morally coercive about his words.

He wanted to pursue Qiao Yun, desiring her willing heart, not one obliged out of gratitude.

But then he thought, Professor Qiao is a person of principles–who could morally coerce her?

After waiting for a while without an answer from Qiao Yun, who just gazed at him without blinking, like she was evaluating something.

Li Hanzhou’s heart, which was beating fiercely, began to sink as his rationale returned, and he chuckled, “Never mind, forget I said that, I’ll make another wish…”

“Thump thump.”

Just then, the door was knocked.

Li Hanzhou’s words were cut off halfway, and he nearly choked on his own saliva.

Taking a deep breath, he said, “Come in.”

Qiao Se pushed the door open gently, unaware of the awkward atmosphere in the ward, and said cheerfully, “Mr. Li, how are you feeling now? Is there anything that still feels uncomfortable?”

A flash of annoyance crossed Li Hanzhou’s eyes, but he quickly composed his expression and replied with composure and dignity, “No problem.”

“That’s good.” Qiao Se smiled, eyes crescent-shaped, “Your vital signs are all very stable now. You shouldn’t have this kind of problem again in the future.”

Hearing this, Qiao Yun’s heart settled completely.

His memory was entirely intact, that’s good.

Li Hanzhou’s lips curled into a smile as he spoke politely like a well-mannered junior, “I’ve troubled Professor Qiao these years, I’ve caused you inconvenience.”

Being treated respectfully by someone like Li Hanzhou made Qiao Se feel comfortable, his eyes even friendlier and kinder, “You saved Qiaoqiao first. I should thank you. If it weren’t for you, Qiaoqiao might still be who knows where.”

Li Hanzhou half-jokingly said, “If it wasn’t for Xiaoqiao, I wouldn’t be here either. Saving my life is a debt I can never repay… Perhaps, I should repay you with my person?”

Qiao Se laughed awkwardly, “Hahaha, Mr. Li, you really have a way with jokes.”

He squinted his eyes, inscrutable, This was a joke, right? It must be a joke.

If it wasn’t a joke, he would push Li Hanzhou back into the operating room right now and give him a comprehensive amnesia package.

Li Hanzhou said without changing his expression, “Xiaoqiao saved me, so from now on, my life is hers.”

Qiao Se: “…” In front of an elder, planning to run away with his family’s youngster, one would be struck by lightning.

Qiao Yun shook her head, “You saved me, and I saved you in return; it’s only right. We’re even now.”

Li Hanzhou’s mouth twitched, not wanting to be even with Qiao Yun at all.

Qiao Se remarked, “What goes around comes around.”

Li Hanzhou said meaningfully, “Xiaoqiao and I are fated.”

Remembering past events, he felt extremely grateful that it was he who had met Qiao Yun and from there, tied a bond of karma with her.

Although he had forgotten these things for over a decade, thankfully, he had now remembered them.

Xiaoqiao need not worry about being forgotten by him anymore.

“Looking at it now, it seems we are indeed fated.”

Qiao Se had come over to ask about Li Hanzhou’s condition, and now that he was sure everything was fine, he could go home to rest.

“I won’t disturb your rest anymore,” he said before turning to Qiao Yun, “Xiaoqiao, it’s late. You should go back as well. Whatever you want to say can wait until tomorrow.”

Qiao Yun, under the earnest gaze of Li Hanzhou, replied indifferently, “Wait a bit longer, Great-Uncle should rest early.”

“Alright, I’m leaving first.” Qiao Se didn’t think too much about it, assuming Qiao Yun was just curious about Li Hanzhou’s health.

Once Qiao Se had left.

The atmosphere of the room became exceptionally quiet, leaving only the sound of two people breathing.

It was as if the previous conversation had never happened. Li Hanzhou felt a bit restless, but before he could regret, he heard Qiao Yun say…

“Okay.”

Li Hanzhou was stunned, “What do you mean, okay?”

Qiao Yun’s face showed no emotional fluctuation, but her words were extraordinarily decisive, “Your wish, I can grant it. I will try to like you.”

She paused, worried that Li Hanzhou might not understand, she emphasized, “The kind of liking that leads to marriage.”

Li Hanzhou: “…!!?”

“What?” Li Hanzhou totally blanked out at that moment.

Was he hallucinating?

Otherwise, how could he hear Qiao Yun agreeing?

The kind of agreement that he was thinking of?

His pupils quivered slightly, his muscles tensed unconsciously, his voice came out hoarse, “Do you know what you are saying?”

Li Hanzhou thought that maybe Qiao Yun hadn’t understood his meaning; otherwise, how could she say something like okay?

After all, he had always thought that he had to prepare for a long battle, maybe even have to wait until Qiao Yun was twenty-five to succeed.

And now a pie had fallen from the sky, totally catching him off guard.

Qiao Yun wasn’t a pretentious person; now that she had made a decision, her words became straightforward, looking at Li Hanzhou with a you’re-so-silly gaze, “I know. I’m not dumb. You just made a wish to me, and I’ve agreed.”

Her words had barely finished when the next second, Li Hanzhou suddenly laid back on the bed, pulled the blanket over him, closed his eyes, and assumed a I’m-going-to-sleep posture.

Qiao Yun: ??????

Qiao Yun stood there dumbfounded, blinking and then blinking again.

After a few seconds of silence, she asked in disbelief, “What are you doing?”

Li Hanzhou didn’t open his eyes, his voice still a bit hoarse, “I might be dreaming. I need to wake up.”

The dream was too beautiful to be true.

Simply making a wish and Qiao Yun agreed to it.

If it was this easy, he would have made the wish a long time ago.

So he must still be dreaming, maybe everything before him was a trick played by some chip in his brain.

Qiao Yun watched the man with closed eyes, her beautiful eyes unknowingly tinted with a hint of amusement.

In front of her, Li Hanzhou was, as her brother described, like a dominant CEO, who hardly showed his emotions, making it difficult to see his real thoughts.

But now he seemed like a little kid who had unexpectedly received candy and didn’t know what to do with it.

A bit cute, and a bit pitiful – what was going on?

Seeing that he hadn’t opened his eyes after so long, Qiao Yun reached out to poke his arm lightly, speaking indifferently, “If you don’t open your eyes, I’ll leave.”

The next moment, Li Hanzhou’s eyes snapped open, meeting Qiao Yun’s slightly amused, shining black eyes.

He froze.

Li Hanzhou could feel his chest stir with excitement; he had to do something, otherwise his heartbeat might never settle.
