Shen Qingyue was puzzled. “Don’t you like sweet things?”
Chi Ming replied, “I don’t.”
“But the porridge you bought for me earlier had sugar in it,” Shen Qingyue blinked, momentarily stunned.
Chi Ming casually said, “That’s for you. Mine didn’t have sugar. I never eat sweetened food.’
Shen Qingyue was completely surprised. She hadn’t expected Chi Ming to pay attention to such minor details. She also realized her own shortcomings; she had hardly done anything for Chi Ming before, and this was the first time she had bought him breakfast. She had never paid attention to him before…
However, Chi Ming’s care for her was evident in every aspect. It seemed invisible and intangible, but upon careful observation, traces of his concern for her were everywhere. How blind she must have been not to see all of this before!
Shen Qingyue picked up a shrimp dumpling, chewed thoughtfully, and looked at Chi Ming. “I understand now. You don’t like sweet food. I won’t let the owner put sugar in your porridge tomorrow.”
Chi Ming’s eyes twinkled with amusement. “So, does that mean you’ll come to see me tomorrow?”
“I’ll come to see you until you’re discharged,” Shen Qingyue responded, now realizing how much Chi Ming had done for her despite his injuries. She could not just ignore him; that would be too ungrateful.
But then Chi Ming suddenly smiled. “I was thinking, what if I buy this hospital? I could live here every day.”
His sentence was vague, but Shen Qingyue knew what he meant. She understood, but that understanding made her feel overwhelmed. Especially when she met his deep, ink-like eyes, she didn’t know what to do. She quickly looked away. “Let’s eat before it gets cold.”
“Sure,” Chi Ming agreed, not saying anything more.
On the other side, Han Xu received the message from Qin Zhen, hesitated for a long time, but still rushed over. Despite his father’s warning last night, telling him not to get involved with Chi Ming, that man was unfathomable. But he could not accept it. Even if he had to risk his life, he would find Wanzhe back and keep her by his side forever! After being away for two years, he felt like a walking corpse. The only reason he persisted was to find her.
Han Xu did not want to confront Chi Ming’s people directly, so he brought only two men to the hospital. However, he did not immediately start searching; instead, he went to find Qin Zhen first. This hospital had shares from the Qin Group, so having Qin Zhen around would make finding people a bit easier.
In the hospital room, there were only Qin Zhen and a few hospital staff members.
As soon as Han Xu entered, he asked, “Which room is Tong Jia in?”
Qin Zhen’s voice remained steady, but a faint displeasure could be detected if one listened closely. “Hmm.” Because he had inadvertently found out which room Tong Jia was in, he had also found out where Chi Ming was. So, Shen Qingyue’s visit today was not to see Tong Jia at all; it was to see Chi Ming. She and Chi Ming were unexpectedly so close to him…
Han Xu did not have time to consider Qin Zhen’s emotions right now; he directly pressed, “Which room? Just tell me!”
After Qin Zhen spoke, Han Xu turned and walked away. However, seeing his brother like this, Qin Zhen still warned, “Chi Ming’s people are guarding Tong Jia’s room. If you try to forcefully take her away, it might be difficult. Find another way.”
The people Chi Ming brought with him were strong; Han Xu’s men had experienced this firsthand last night. Not to mention that today he only brought two men with him. Trying to bypass Chi Ming and take Tong Jia away was just wishful thinking.
Han Xu halted his steps. “So, you’re suggesting that I go beg Chi Ming, or even beg Shen Qingyue? Let Chi Ming, for the sake of Shen Qingyue’s face, give me some information?”
He had never lowered his head to anyone. The fact that Chi Ming agreed to let Tong Jia go was already a compromise; otherwise, he would have stormed in that very night. But now, his brother wanted him to bow down?
Qin Zhen said, “I know it’s hard for you. But I’m just giving you a reminder. This is the best solution.”
Han Xu fell silent for a moment. “Where is his room?”
He would never lower his dignity to beg Chi Ming, but a normal negotiation could be attempted, right? It was just money. His Han family had plenty.
Upon hearing this, Qin Zhen got up from the hospital bed. “Let me go with you.
Don’t act recklessly and make things worse.”
Of course, his real intentions were known only to himself.
Zhang Jianci and a few brothers had been guarding the door. When they saw Han Xu and his group approaching, they directly intercepted them.. “What’s the meaning of this? President Han, you brought a group of people here, are you here to fight?”
