Chapter 1722: Chapter 1722: Truly Speechless

A few days after sending her daughter to school, the reward for Luo Qiao’s last assistance in handling a case also arrived. Besides the bonus, medal, and certificate, she was also promoted at the hospital to Vice President Luo, in charge of performance, finance, and personnel.

The hospital originally wanted her to handle both sides, including the department, but Luo Qiao declined. Running back and forth between the school and hospital over the past few years was indeed quite tiring, and holding onto positions wasn’t great either, as opportunities should be given to other colleagues for development.

However, the higher-ups did say that in case of a tricky surgery, she would still have to step in. Luo Qiao agreed with a smile and also suggested scheduling one surgery every week since not performing surgeries for a long time might make her skills rusty.

Luo Qiao made this choice with consideration, as she wants to dedicate more time to teaching and the lab in the future.

Ever since she stopped working in the department, the biggest benefit is that she can start and finish work at normal hours.

This week, both daughters returned home, and Rong Daniang and Luo Qiao busied themselves preparing a table full of dishes they love.

Yanyan returned and hugged Luo Qiao’s shoulders: "Mom, I’m back. Did you miss me?"

Luo Qiao rubbed her daughter’s face with her head: "Guess?"

Yanyan kissed Luo Qiao’s cheek: "I guess you probably didn’t miss me at all."

After mother and daughter finished with their affectionate gestures, Yanyan said: "Mom, next week I need to ride a bike from home to school. The campus is too big, and it’s quite inconvenient without a bike."

Luo Qiao, while frying meatballs, said: "Okay, how are you getting along with your classmates these days?"

Yanyan washed her hands, reached out to grab a meatball, and popped it into her mouth: "It’s alright, except for Cai Meiyu from the lower bunk across from me. The other classmates are quite okay."

Luo Qiao glanced at her daughter: "What’s wrong with that classmate?"

Yanyan frowned: "She seems to have a problem with her mind. She always wants to compete with me, trying to beat me in everything. I have no idea what she’s up to, even when I’m just getting food in the cafeteria she wants to compete. It’s really speechless."

Luo Qiao thought for a moment: "I guess it’s because your college entrance exam results were better than hers, she’s somewhat unconvinced, so she wants to compete with you in everything."

Yanyan ate another meatball and wiped her hands: "That possibility isn’t ruled out, I’ll inquire next week at school. If it’s true, isn’t she exhausted?"

Luo Qiao said lightly: "Right now, she probably won’t feel tired, but who knows about the future."

Both mother and daughter laughed.

They heard Lu Yichen’s voice from outside: "What are you two laughing about?"

Yanyan dashed over: "Dad, did you miss your precious daughter?"

Lu Yichen caught the dashing daughter: "Both your mom and I think it was quite peaceful at home this week."

Yanyan pouted: "What do you mean? Are you saying we’re too noisy when we’re home?"

The voice of Rong Daniang came from behind: "Silly girl, your mom and dad aren’t disliking you, they just felt a bit unused to not having you around. They talk about you both even when eating, really showing heartfelt parental love."

Yanyan was touched by these words, hugged Lu Yichen tightly, and acted spoiled: "Dad."

Lu Yichen patted his daughter’s back: "You are the treasures of your dad and mom, how could we not miss you? If it weren’t for me stopping her, your mom would’ve delivered food to you."

She indeed believes this, after all, when she was with grandpa, if grandpa hadn’t forbidden them to deliver things multiple times, her mom probably would have gone over every few days. Even though grandpa said not to go, she still went twice.

At this moment, they heard Yueyue’s voice: "Dad, Mom, I’m back."
