Chapter 897: Chapter 839: Things from the Past
When the two were having dinner, neither of them seemed to bring up the ambiguous scene from before.
To Liu Hun, it was just a momentary impulse, since it’s over, there’s no need to overthink it.
The human simulation technology that Li Dandan developed, after dinner, Liu Hun made a call to Han San, asking him to return home when he had time.
A night without words passed, and early the next morning, Liu Hun had just finished washing up and was planning to go downstairs for some physical activity, when he saw Li Dandan carrying a suitcase.
“Are you going somewhere?” Liu Hun asked Li Dandan with some confusion.
Upon hearing this, Li Dandan’s face immediately showed a hint of somberness, forcing a smile and nodding to Liu Hun, saying, “I have to go home for a while, my mom is sick.”
At the time of hiring, Liu Hun had looked over Li Dandan’s resume and knew that her family was in a small county under Huaihai Province, not far from the Provincial City.
“Let me take you home, just right, there’s nothing much going on these days, and maybe I can even help out; after all, I am a doctor.” Liu Hun said with a smile.
While Li Dandan was still hesitating, Liu Hun walked upstairs and said to Li Dandan, “I’ll go change an outfit, wait for me a moment.”
Watching Liu Hun’s departing figure, a complex look arose in Li Dandan’s eyes.
The scene from last night lingered vividly in her mind even now, it was the first time Li Dandan felt something for a man, but she knew that someone like Liu Hun couldn’t be tied down by her alone.
This time, aside from visiting her mother, she also planned to carefully think about the upcoming matters.
But she hadn’t expected Liu Hun to insist on taking her home, to this, Li Dandan felt a sense of helplessness.
Soon, Liu Hun changed his clothes, then came downstairs to directly help her put the suitcase in the trunk.
“Director Liu, you really don’t need to take me home, I can go back myself.” Getting in the car, Li Dandan hesitated for a moment, then spoke to Liu Hun.
“I’m just bored, perfect time to go out for a little trip and visit someone.” As he said this, there was a hint of sadness in Liu Hun’s eyes.
Li Dandan’s home was in Tonghuai County of Huaihai Province; it was the place where he had grown up in his previous life; now, after being in Huaihai Province for so long, Liu Hun hadn’t visited to pay his respects to the old man not because he didn’t want to, but because he didn’t dare.
The death of the old man was a significant trauma in his heart; no matter how strong a person appears on the outside, there is always a vulnerable side, and Liu Hun was no exception.
“Liu… Director Liu, do you also have relatives or friends in Tonghuai County?” Feeling the sadness in Liu Hun’s eyes, Li Dandan’s beautiful eyes revealed a slight hint of curiosity.
“Yes, but he has passed away a long time ago; I’ve been to Huaihai Province for quite a while now, it’s a good time to pay respect while taking you back.” Liu Hun said softly, putting away his earlier sadness.
Although he spoke lightly, as a girl, her mind was naturally more delicate, and she could sense that the person must have been very important to Liu Hun.
“Besides, you don’t have to call me Director Liu anymore, just call me by my name or Liu Hun when we’re outside; constantly calling me by that title feels a bit weird for me.” Liu Hun said, and then seriously drove the car.
The atmosphere instantly became awkward, neither of them spoke a word.
Tonghuai County wasn’t far from the Provincial City, but not too close either, it took them half a day to arrive.
“Liu Hun, why don’t I accompany you to pay your respects first?” After reaching Tonghuai County, Li Dandan finally mustered the courage to say to Liu Hun, “My mom’s illness is not serious.”
“No need, the dead are already gone, early or late doesn’t make much difference, let’s go to the hospital first.” Liu Hun smiled, not caring much.
Seeing Liu Hun say so, Li Dandan couldn’t insist further and nodded.
When the car reached Tonghuai County People’s Hospital, as soon as they entered the ward, Li Dandan rushed towards a hospital bed.
“Mom, are you alright?” She hurriedly asked, standing by the bedside of a middle-aged woman, showing concern.
“Mom’s fine, you know it’s just an old problem; your dad must have told you, I’ve warned him to let you focus on work and not worry about these matters.” The middle-aged woman glanced at the middle-aged man beside her, but her eyes still bore a look of joy.
Watching the family of three in the ward, Liu Hun couldn’t help but freeze his eyes, family bonds are the most precious thing in this world.
Though in this life he had parents and a sister, the only kin from his previous life had long departed; once upon a time, the old man had spoiled him like so.
“Xiao Dan, who is this?” After a moment, Li Dandan’s father noticed Liu Hun standing at the ward door, his eyes carried a hint of surprise.
“Hello, Uncle, my name is Liu Hun, just call me Liu Hun, I’m Xiao Dan’s colleague.” Liu Hun said, bringing the fruit basket inside.
“Oh, a colleague of Xiao Dan, come in and sit down, I’ve heard your company is a big one, must be amazing to get in there.” Li Dandan’s father accepted the fruit basket, smilingly responding to Liu Hun; although his eyes kept sizing him up.
