”Miss Qi, Boss Ye is waiting for you inside!”

”My dad?”

”When Boss Ye called you, there were no longer any signs of life. He was afraid that you would be anxious, so he did not dare to speak the truth!”

Qi Miao was stunned for a long time before being able to react. Although she had been mentally prepared for a month ago, when she asked the doctor in the sanatorium on the phone, he told her that her father's body was showing signs of collapse. But she was still hoping for a miracle to happen.

The tears that had been flowing down his face had suddenly disappeared. His eyes were sore, and his heart felt as if it was being held by someone.

She shouldn't have run away so willfully. She didn't even accompany her father on his final journey.

Sitting stiffly in the car, he forgot to get in.

Ye Dongmo opened the car door from outside and handed his hand over to her, ”Get down!”

Qi Miao moved her legs mechanically like a marionette, allowing him to hold onto her as she walked towards the funeral parlor.

Hanging on the wall in the middle of the auditorium were photographs of her father as a young man, her father from childhood.

His smile was like the warm winter sun.

A crystal coffin was placed under the photo. The person lying inside was no different from the person in the sanatorium, except that they no longer had the tubes and glue that served as medical equipment.

first uncle and first aunt were also there. They looked at Qi Miao and sighed, but did not speak.

But from that glance, Qi Miao could feel their discontent. She pursed her lips and called out without any confidence, ”Uncle, Aunt!”

Qi Zhiyuan and his wife also nodded, but their gazes landed on the hand Ye Dongmo was holding onto.

Qi Miao suddenly realized something and quickly withdrew.

Ye Dongmo lowered his head slightly, and whispered into her ear.

”The aftermath will be arranged according to the customs of the Lin City. If you have any other ideas, you can tell me. I will arrange it!”

Qi Miao shook her head, she had already left, so she still believed that it was for others to see.

Besides, she still hadn't completely accepted the fact that her father had already left her. She had a feeling that the person in the crystal coffin was just like the past ten years, only sleeping, but still breathing.

Just then, Qi Zhiyuan spoke out, ”Miaomiao, your father is my own little brother, he is part of the future, I think it is better to do something big and ask some professionals to do it.”

Qi Miao pursed her lips without saying a word, walked a few steps, and arrived in front of the crystal coffin. Separated by the cold glass cover, she placed her hand on her father's face, ”Daddy, Miaomiao is late!”

Previously, when he was lying on the sickbed, although she couldn't speak or open her eyes to look at him, as long as she could breathe, she felt that her life was still dependent on him. But now?

What's the use of excess? Can you give Dad back to her?

”Do as I say!”

After saying these four words, Qi Miao no longer spoke, and only knelt in front of her father's coffin silently, doing what a filial daughter should do.

Qi Miao had never paid attention to her thoughts, but this time, she did not say the word ”follow the instructions” in any way, which made it clear to him that he could not ignore her opinion.

As such, everything else had been handled simply.

After two days and two nights, Qi Miao had not eaten a single grain of rice, but she would occasionally drink some water. She didn't close her eyes for even a moment. She was afraid that she would never have the chance to see her father's true appearance again. When she missed him, she could only look at the pictures.

In the past two days, Ye Dongmo had always been there, but had never communicated with him at all.

Many people came to offer their condolences. Most of them were old friends of Papa Qi, as well as students. There were also some medical celebrities.

Qi Miao was muddle-headed, and her actions were all mechanical.

No tears, no words, kneeling in front of the coffin. When someone came to offer her condolences and bow and say goodbye, she kowtowed in return.
