In the past three months, he had been carefully taking care of her hair, her body, every inch of her skin as per Ning Anmiao's request.
Now, it was finally time for everything to return to its rightful owner.
He suppressed the urge to walk over and just stood at the door, constantly gazing at Ning Anmiao.
His gaze was earnest and intense.
He stood there for a long time. He hardly felt the soreness in his legs. Listening to the even breathing sound in the room, he pondered for a long time.
Finally, he took a gamble. He stepped forward, gently raised his hand, and carefully let it fall, tucking the hair covering her face behind her ear.
It was as if he was handling a fragile treasure, slow and cautious.
People are greedy.
Seeing that she didn't wake up and was sleeping soundly, Lu Yan had an even bolder thought. He gently probed with his fingertips, wanting to touch her hand.
Just then, the girl in the bed suddenly turned over.
It startled Lu Yan so much that he took several steps back and almost bumped into the chair beside him. His mind was in a mess. Without hesitation, he quickly walked to the door and rushed out.
He was like a thief stealing something.
Quietly, he left quickly, as if he had never been there.
One night passed.
Because the medicine she took before going to bed had the effect of calming the nerves and helping sleep, Ning Anmiao had a very satisfying sleep that night. When she opened her eyes, she saw her mother bustling around the bed.
The air was filled with the aroma of breakfast.
She grinned, and her voice was soft like a coo: "Mom, you're so good to me."
Bai Jiaying couldn't help but laugh when she heard this: "You're my only precious daughter. If I don't treat you well, who else should I treat well?"
"Get up quickly and have breakfast when you're awake. If it gets cold and you eat it, you'll have a stomachache again."
"Okay." Ning Anmiao happily squinted her eyes into slits.
She felt as if she had had a serious illness.
After recovering, everything had returned to the very beginning, to the way it used to be.
She was still the most beloved daughter of the Ning family. She was still that fearless Ning Anmiao who could do anything she wanted.
That Ning Anmiao who was unafraid of difficulties and had a lively look in her eyes.

In the office of Xinghe Capital.
Lu Yan was sitting on the office chair, looking focused. His features were delicate and profound. He was fully immersed in the content on the computer screen.
Assistant Song pushed the door open and came in. Seeing there was only one person in the office, he was still not quite used to it: "Mr. Lu, here are the documents you asked for."
Lu Yan nodded slightly and tapped his knuckles on the desktop. "Put them on the table."
Assistant Song walked over. Looking at the empty table beside, he thought about how to put it: "Well, Madam hasn't fully recovered yet..."
"Yeah." Lu Yan answered simply without even raising his eyes.
Assistant Song felt a chill down his back.
He felt that Mr. Lu had changed again recently. Clearly, he had shown a bit of humanity not long ago, but now he was as cold as an ice cube again.
Assistant Song shrank his neck and was about to quickly leave this place that was like an ice cellar.
"Wait a minute."
Before he could step out of the door, he was called back by Lu Yan.
"Remove the table beside."
His voice was flat without any ups and downs or ripples: "Madam won't come here to work anymore. These things are in the way."
Assistant Song was shocked.
"Okay, I'll send someone over to move it right away."
He answered verbally, but he was muttering in his heart.
Why was his boss's mood fluctuating so much? Did he have a split personality?
Clearly, when Madam was in a coma before, he was at a loss. But now, why did he seem like he didn't plan to live with Madam anymore?
He thought this was already surprising enough. But then, just before getting off work, Assistant Song received a text message from Lu Yan.
This text message shocked Assistant Song so much that he suspected there was something wrong with his eyes.
[Contact the previous lawyer and re - inventory the pre - marital property.]
Assistant Song was not calm anymore.
Didn't this mean that Mr. Lu still wanted to divorce Madam?
He couldn't help but feel indignant in his heart.
After all, it was Madam who rushed over to save Mr. Lu. How could Mr. Lu just turn his back on her and keep talking about divorce?
Moreover, Mr. Ning had come to make a scene before. If Mr. Lu divorced Madam like this, wouldn't Mr. Ning...
Mr. Ning!
Assistant Song suddenly had a bold guess.
Could it be that Mr. Ning looked down on Mr. Lu and forced them to divorce?
Thinking like this, it seemed to make sense logically.
Now, he couldn't help but sigh even more.
Alas, this old gentleman was a great master of Chinese studies. Why didn't he understand the principle of "It's better to tear down ten temples than to break up one marriage"?
Although he complained in his heart, as an employee, he couldn't interfere in these matters. So he had to silently call the previous lawyer.
"Lawyer Zhang, do you still have the inventory of Mr. Lu's pre - marital property that you did before?"
Lawyer Zhang was a bit surprised when he received Assistant Song's call.
"Yes, what's up?"
Assistant Song also found it hard to say: "Well, it seems that Mr. Lu and Madam are still going to divorce. You can start preparing recently."
After hanging up the phone, Lawyer Zhang couldn't help but sigh with emotion:
Fortunately, he hadn't really lost the previous documents. Otherwise, it would have taken another half a month.
He was really smart.

After all, it was her own mother taking care of her. Everything was more handy, and Ning Anmiao was well - taken - care - of. Her body recovered very quickly. In less than a week, the doctor said she could prepare to be discharged from the hospital.
On the day of discharge, Ning Anmiao had an indescribable feeling in her heart.
After completing the discharge procedures, Lu Yan called at the right time: "Are you out of the hospital?"
As indifferent and calm as ever.
Ning Anmiao thought for a while and also used the same flat tone: "Yeah, I just finished the discharge procedures."
After that, neither of them said anything else.
After a long time, Lu Yan hesitated and spoke again, "Your things are still at home. They haven't been touched."
What he meant was that Ning Anmiao could continue to live in their home before the divorce.
But Ning Anmiao misunderstood his meaning. Her eyes dimmed slightly: "I know. I'll find someone to move my things out as soon as possible."
Hearing this, Lu Yan's breath caught in his throat. He opened his mouth to explain, "Miaomiao, I didn't mean that."
"You can live at home for as long as you want."
Ning Anmiao deliberately avoided the content of his words and said indifferently: "No need. I'll stay in a hotel with my mom tonight."
After saying that, she added another sentence: "Next week, I'll go back to Jiangcheng with my mom. We should get the divorce procedures done before that. The sooner, the better."
A shadow fell over Lu Yan's eyes.
He was silent for a long time and didn't answer her for a while.
Ning Anmiao got impatient first. She hung up the phone directly and stuffed the phone into her pocket.
She knew, she had always known.
Lu Yan was driving her away.
So how could she go against his wishes?
Just then, Bai Jiaying walked over and easily noticed her daughter's mood: "What's wrong, Miaomiao?"
"Nothing, Mom. Let's go."
