Looking at Chen Ming who was holding the lilies in both hands, Xin Qing felt a little embarra.s.sed.
"Why do you come so early? I thought you would be here in the afternoon!" After placing the flowers down, Xin Qing invited him to sit. Last night, Chen Ming called her and knew what happened to her, so he came to the hospital early in this morning.
"Since I don"t have anything to do, I just want to come see you earlier. Where"s the person who pushed you? Did you call the police?" Chen Ming saw that she had the gauze wrapped around her head, and her small face that was the size of a palm looked even smaller.
Young Master Shen had yet to tell Xin Qing how to deal with Du Zekai, so Xin Qing did not know whether or not he was captured.
"Are you really going to stay at home and not leave?" She changed the subject.
Chen Ming picked up an apple, peeling it while nodding. "I"m not leaving. I"ve registered a company."
"Really?" Xin Qing felt happy for him. She remembered that Chen Ming had a dream to own a company since he was a child.
Chen Ming smiled. "I"ll have to trouble you frequently in the future."
"Eh? What will you trouble me?" Xin Qing did not understand.
Chen Ming gave the peeled apple to her. "You"ll know when the time comes!"
"Well, did you come back alone?" Xin Qing suddenly blinked her eyes, "Did you bring me a sister-in-law?"
"You want a sister-in-law?" Chen Ming touched her head. "Ok, I"ll get married as soon as possible!"
Xin Qing took a bite of the apple, and said unclearly: "Hmm hmm, I will check for you."
As the two chatted, they began to talk about their childhood. It wasn"t until Auntie Tian came to deliver the food that they realized it was already noon. Auntie Tian looked at Chen Ming strangely for a long time before Xin Qing introduced Chen Ming. It was unknown if Auntie Tian was on purpose or not, but before she left, she suddenly said that--
"Miss, the young master will be back tonight. He comes back for you!"
After knowing what Ying Qingcang had done for her, Xin Qing would feel her face burning every time she heard his name. She immediately saw Auntie Tian off, and found Chen Ming was staring at her.
"What... what"s wrong?"
Seeing she was so nervous, Chen Ming smiled and said, "Nothing. The Young Maste is the person who was at the KTV"s entrance that day, right?"
"Um, yes. And where do you live now? " Xin Qing didn"t want to discuss Ying Qingcang with him, because she didn"t know how to explain the relationship between her and Ying Qingcang.
But what she didn"t know was that Chen Ming had already investigated her. He felt that it was very strange that Xin Qing had a relationship with Ying Qingcang, and even lived in his house. He also found out things about the Xin family. After Xin Qing"s mother pa.s.sed away, she was driven out of their house. Chen Ming regretted it greatly. If he had returned half a year earlier, it would be better. However... it"s not too late.
"I bought a house at the east side of the city. I will cook for you when you leave the hospital and pay a visit to my house!"
Xin Qing looked at him suspiciously: "When did you learn cooking?"
"From the very beginning." Chen Ming winked at him.
In the afternoon, Chen Ming accompanied her downstairs to bask in the sun for a bit, and then do some inspections. It was only when night fell that Xin Qing suddenly remembered what Auntie Tian had said that Ying Qingcang would return at night.
"It"s getting late. You"ve accompanied me for a whole day. Now go back!"
Chen Ming looked at his watch and thought for a moment. "You"ll be alone if I leave. I won"t leave until the auntie comes to take food for you!"
"It"s alright. Auntie Tian will be here soon. You may go, and don"t delay your meal." Xin Qing felt a little guilty that he had accompanied her for a day, but she was intentionally asking him to leave now?
But when she thought about how Ying Qingcang would be angry if he saw Chen Ming was staying with her, she felt that it was better for Chen Ming to leave earlier.
"Alright! Then I"ll go first." Chen Ming nodded straightforwardly, then touched the wound on her forehead and said, "You should be careful in the future. Since you"re an grown-up now, you shouldn"t let others worry about you."
Xin Qing laughed and pushed him away: "Ok, ok. Don"t nag me. I"m no longer a child. "
"So what? I still have to worry about you! " Chen Ming scratched her nose, and the two of them smiled at each other while they suddenly heard a gloomy voice.
"What are you doing?"
Hearing this voice, Xin Qing"s face sunk. Chen Ming turned around and saw Ying Qingcang standing at the door. He smiled, and then patted Xin Qing"s head.
"I"m leaving, call me when you need!"
"Oh, take care. See you!" Xin Qing whispered.
Chen Ming walked to Ying Qingcang: "Nice to meet you, Boss Ying. I"ve heard a lot about you."
Ying Qingcang looked at him with a heavy gaze before giving him his hand: "Me too, the young master of the Chen family."
"Ha ha!" Chen Ming took his hand back, "I"ll be leaving first, so please take care of Xiao Qing!"
Ying Qingcang watched him leave, and then looked at Xin Qing who had her head lowered. He was in an inexplicable fret. Why did he always start with the lines "what are you doing" every time he met Xin Qing...
"You …" Xin Qing realized that Ying Qingcang"s overcoat was somewhat wrinkled. Could it be that he directly came here after getting off the plane?
She was right. Just as she thought, Ying Qingcang came to see her without changing his clothes. But what he saw in the end was her laughed happily with a man. Thinking of this, he couldn"t help but blurt out.
"It seems like you don"t feel any pain at all, so you still have the strength to laugh."
Xin Qing took a deep breath. Considering what he had done for her, she told herself not to lower herself to the same level as him. Seeing that she did not say a word, Ying Qingcang placed the lunchbox on the table with a loud sound.
"Didn"t he buy you food? Or have you already eaten?"
Xin Qing wanted to throw the pillow over and smash him to death, but she shook her head and said: "I haven"t eaten yet, do you want to eat with me?" With that, she took the initiative to place the lunchbox properly.
"I"ve eaten." Ying Qingcang said awkwardly, "You really didn"t eat anything yet?"
"Nope." Xin Qing said as she took a sip of the porridge.
Ying Qingcang"s expression became a little better, "Then go to eat!"
After Xin Qing finished her meal, the two of them started to stare at each other.
"You …"
"You …"
"You go first!"
"You first!"
After another moment of silence, Xin Qing looked at him and decided to speak first: "Young Master Shen has already told me everything. Thank you!"
Ying Qingcang"s eyes lit up, and he muttered: "He"s so talkive."
Xin Qing t.i.ttered, "If he did not said it, I won"t have known that you have done so many things for me!"
Ying Qingcang"s gaze suddenly stopped on her face. Xin Qing touched her own face: "What"s wrong? Is there anything on my face? "
"Ah? Yes … oh … no. " Ying Qingcang was in a kind of hurry and confusion, then he turned his back to her.
Xin Qing shrugged her shoulders. So he was still that insane man. What"s wrong with him now?
Because of having lost control of himself, Ying Qingcang was angry at himself. He thought back to the look she had when she thanked him just now. Her smile was so bright and beautiful.
Ying Qingcang silently made a decision that he would do more things for her that she needed to thank him.
"You"ve been on the plane for so long, you must be tired. Go back and rest!" Xin Qing could not stand this strange atmosphere. Seeing that it was getting late, she told Ying Qingcang to go back.
Ying Qingcang frowned: "If you"re tired, then go to sleep."
… …. How could I go to sleep if you just stood there!
"I won"t leave today, and I will sleep outside." Ying Qingcang added. Xin Qing lived in a luxurious ward, and there was one more bed outside.
Xin Qing was stunned, "What? You sleep here? "
"Can"t I?" Ying Qingcang glared at her.
Xin Qing suddenly wanted to laugh. Ying Qingcang was a very handsome man, but when his handsome face revealed a silly, childish expression, he looked very funny.
Of course, she didn"t dare laugh out loud. She only nodded towards Ying Qingcang before entering the bathroom to wash her face.
The room was completely silent. Xin Qing took the pills and fell asleep. Ying Qingcang was not used to sleeping in the hospital bed, so he tossed and turned for a long time, and in the end he got up and slowly walked towards Xin Qing"s side.
The yellow light from the bedside lamp shone onto Xin Qing"s face. He hadn"t have a good look at her just now. Until now did he see clearly the gauze covering her head and this made Ying Qingcang"s heart tighten. Seeing Xin Qing like this, his heart ached time and time again.
Carefully rubbing her wound, a cold glint flashed across his eyes. The Xu Family …
Suddenly, Xin Qing moved. She seemed to feel cold and moved herself deeper in the blanket, Ying Qingcang"s hand slowly moved to her face. It was so small and soft.
Xin Qing was sleeping soundly, and she felt like many ants were crawling all over her body.
"So itchy..." Xin Qing mumbled in a daze.
Seeing that the woman in his arms had fallen asleep again, Ying Qingcang kissed her little face in satisfaction, and gave up on the idea of leaving. He found it so comfortable to hug Xin Qing for sleeping.
The two people in each other"s arms slept through the night. They did not even hear Young Master Shen knocking on the door.
"Why don"t you open the door for me? Ying Qingcang, you … " When Young Master Shen who rushed in saw the two of them hugging each other on the bed, his words were stuck in his throat.
But his shout woke the two people up. Xin Qing rubbed her eyes, but met Ying Qingcang"s face. Then she saw Young Master Shen standing beside the bed and grinning at her. She blushed and hid herself in the blanket, pretending not knowing anything.
Ying Qingcang glared at Young Master Shen: "Don"t you know that you should knock?"
"I knocked, but both of you are too tired to hear it!" He chuckled. Ying Qingcang put on his clothes, and when he saw that Xin Qing was still not coming out, he did not know what to say.
"Tsk, tsk, what a beast you are. Poor Little Qingqing is already like this, and you still didn"t let her go!" Young Master Shen began to speak arrogantly.
Xin Qing was already very embarra.s.sed, but hearing his words, she did not dare come out.
"Shut up!" Ying Qingcang glared at Young Master Shen, worried that Xin Qing would suffocate herself under the blanket.
Young Master Shen sat down happily: "Little Qingqing, it"s not the first time we met, so don"t be shy!"
At the same time, Auntie Tian came to deliver the food. Ying Qingcang said, "Eat well." Then, he dragged Young Master Shen and walked out.
"That Du Zekai, what are you going to do with him?" As they got out of the ward, Young Master Shen asked solemnly instead of smiling mischievously.
Ying Qingcang smiled coldly, "I can"t let him off lightly for just throwing him into jail."
