When Xia Weilan stood up in the hall, Mo Beichen had already driven away.
"Mrs. Young Master, take your time. It's still early," said Aunt Tian as she brought out a bowl of soup from the kitchen. "Sir told me early this morning to let you drink this before going to the company. It's good for replenishing blood and qi."
Only then did Xia Weilan remember that her period was due in the next couple of days. She was slightly stunned and thought that she must be overthinking. How could Mo Beichen notice such a thing?
After breakfast, Xia Weilan called Ruili.
"Ruili, how's Nan Fengyan's condition? Should I hire a nurse for you? You must be so tired," she said.
"I can handle it. It's my responsibility," replied Ruili. There was the sound of running water on her end, as if she was fetching water.
"Take care of yourself then. Don't exhaust yourself. My husband and I will come to visit you guys tonight."
"Okay. You guys are busy. By the way, how's it going for you at the company?" Ruili had been too busy these days to know anything about Xia Weilan's situation at the company.
"Everything's going smoothly." As Xia Weilan spoke, she walked out and saw a car waiting there. The driver was standing respectfully, waiting for her.
"That's good. You've got a lot on your plate these days, while I'm quite free. I've almost sorted out the family matters, so I don't have much to do now."
"Yeah, I've been really busy recently. The company is shooting an advertisement and also dealing with the negotiation with a foreign company." Xia Weilan had been stretched thin lately.
"With Brother Mo by your side, you can rest assured." Just as Ruili had finished fetching the water and was turning off the tap with one hand, a deep male voice suddenly came from behind.
"As long as you're willing, I can be your guardian too."
"Aah!" Ruili was startled and almost dropped her phone. Fortunately, she was quick - witted and caught it in time. She turned around, still a bit shaken. In the corridor behind her, Nan Fengyan was sitting in a wheelchair, his deep eyes fixed on her.
He was wearing a blue - striped hospital gown. There were still water droplets on his neatly groomed black hair, obviously just out of the shower. His foot was wrapped in a bandage, but he didn't look the least bit embarrassed. Instead, there was a sense of wild abandon about him. He exuded an irresistible charm as he stared at her affectionately.
Ruili was at a loss for words. The word "seductive" flashed through her mind.
To be honest, Nan Fengyan really had an air of unruly freedom, and he had the capital to be the playboy that everyone talked about.
"What's wrong, Ruili? Are you okay?" Xia Weilan asked nervously from the other end.
Ruili was awakened by Xia Weilan's voice. She glared at Nan Fengyan and quickly brought the phone back to her ear.
"It's nothing. Nan Fengyan just suddenly showed up and scared me."
Xia Weilan was silent for a moment and then said, "Okay, you go ahead with your business. I'll come to see you tonight."
"Why did you come out?" Ruili put away her phone and looked at Nan Fengyan with a frown.
"You took so long to fetch water. Of course I had to come out and see what was going on!" Nan Fengyan shrugged helplessly. The affectionate look in his eyes disappeared, and he looked at her casually.
"I'm done. Let's go." Ruili picked up the thermos and walked out.
But Nan Fengyan followed her to the door of the ward and showed no sign of going in.
Ruili put down the things and turned around, looking at Nan Fengyan in confusion.
"What's up?"
"The room is too stuffy. I want to go to the park outside to get some fresh air." Nan Fengyan raised his eyebrows, as if making an invitation, and explained, "I'm not a homebody. I don't want to become a dull and listless person after this month."
Ruili remembered Nan Fengyan's usual love for excitement. She walked over and pushed his wheelchair towards the elevator.
"Nan Fengyan, why can't you just stay still!"
Ruili could already imagine what this month was going to be like for her. Nan Fengyan was really good at causing trouble.
While Ruili was pressing the elevator button, Nan Fengyan looked at her profile with a faint smile on his lips.
He knew he had to put in some effort to win her heart. And there was no way a date should always be in a hospital ward.
The nurses passing by couldn't help but get star - struck when they saw the interaction between the two.
"Such a handsome man already has a girlfriend. Sigh."
"Well, that's normal, isn't it?"
The two single nurses looked at each other and then went back to work.
At Ouyang Group, Ouyang Mingqi's originally elegant and noble expression changed instantly as he entered his office.
"Sir, Nan Fengyan is hospitalized due to his injury this time, and Mo Beichen has been investigating everywhere..."
Before Secretary Liu could finish his words, Ouyang Mingqi waved his hand to interrupt him.
"Just tell me if all the nearby surveillance cameras have been taken care of. There should be no omissions. If you mess this up, you might as well leave the capital."
Secretary Liu almost lost his balance. He quickly assured, "Sir, I've really taken care of everything. I even sent someone to check the area carefully. All the surveillance cameras have been dealt with."
Ouyang Mingqi's expression softened a bit. But he was still extremely annoyed when he thought that after all he had done, Mo Beichen hadn't even suffered a scratch.
That night, his car was smashed by Xia Ruolin's people. He had dinner in a nearby restaurant and waited for Secretary Liu to pick him up. To his surprise, as soon as he walked out of the restaurant, he saw Mo Beichen's car parked there boldly.
At that time, Secretary Liu was dealing with the car issue nearby, and he was alone. So he vented all his anger on Mo Beichen's car.
He rushed over in a few steps and kicked the car without hesitation. But he still felt unsatisfied.
Ouyang Mingqi remembered what Xia Ruolin had said: only success matters.
At this thought, Ouyang Mingqi gritted his teeth. If Mo Beichen was dead, there would be no one to compete with him, and he would become the king of the capital.
So he didn't hesitate to take action himself and tampered with Mo Beichen's car.
"Send someone to keep a close eye on Mo Beichen's movements. Don't let him find out anything. Do you understand?" Ouyang Mingqi said hatefully.
"Yes, sir." Secretary Liu didn't even dare to raise his head. He felt that Ouyang Mingqi was in an unusually bad mood today, probably because his car had been smashed the previous night.
That night, in the orthopedic VIP ward of the largest hospital in the capital, as soon as Nan Fengyan saw Mo Beichen and his wife come in, his eyes lit up and he immediately shouted, "You're finally here. Come and play mahjong with me quickly. Four people are just right!"
Ruili was tidying up the dishes and chopsticks beside. Hearing this, she subconsciously replied, "I don't know how to play."
"I do. I'll teach you," Nan Fengyan winked at Ruili. Ruili had no choice but to clear a table and set up the mahjong.
Xia Weilan and Mo Beichen looked at each other and sat down.
"It seems you're having a great time in the hospital," said Xia Weilan.
Mo Beichen looked around and found that the originally dull ward now not only had fresh flowers but also a lot of daily items. At first glance, it looked more like Nan Fengyan's villa.
