After Su Ruixin got the news, she sighed at her son's hardship while rushing to the hospital with the old butler. His future mother-in-law protected Zhao Youlin like she was protecting her from a thief. She would even worry about leaving her daughter alone with him for a few days, and she had to follow her.
As soon as she arrived at the hospital, she saw Duan Yarong standing at the side and thinking about how to break up the young couple with a cross expression. She quickly seized the opportunity.
"Mrs. Mu, why are you here?" Zhao Youlin glanced at Su Ruixin, who appeared at the entrance of the ward at this time, in confusion. 'Didn't she say that she was injured, so she wanted to rest at home? Why is she here?'
Su Ruixin seemed to know what Zhao Youlin was thinking, so she smiled and said, "The butler sent me here to change the dressings, so I stopped by to take a look at Tingfeng. I didn't expect Mrs. Zhao to be here."
This explanation was reasonable if it was said by an ordinary person, but it was extremely unreasonable if it was said by Su Ruixin.
Zhao Youlin did not doubt it, but Duan Yarong's face instantly turned gloomy after Su Ruixin finished speaking.
How could Duan Yarong, who was a member of a rich family since she was young, not know that rich people like them cared about their own health the most? The family would more or less hire a few doctors as family doctors, so they could come whenever they were called.
With such doctors waiting at home, it was more than enough for them to take care of Mu Tingfeng, who was moderately injured, let alone change the dressings of Su Ruixin with minor injuries. There was no need for her to come back and forth.
The reason why Zhao Youlin took Joy to the hospital last time was entire because one of the two Zhao family's doctors had passed away, and the other doctor happened to be the apprentice of the old doctor. So, the doctor had naturally gone to join the teacher's funeral and was not at home.
Did something happen to the Mu family's doctor at this time coincidentally? She would never believe it.
Although Duan Yarong was a little unhappy, Su Ruixin was still a peer. She could not treat her like Mu Tingfeng, so she had to endure it and said, "I heard that Youlin got into trouble outside yesterday. President Mu and Mrs. Mu helped her a lot, and you guys were also injured because of this. So, I wanted to come here with Youlin today and thank you guys."
Su Ruixin smiled happily when she heard that. "You're welcome, Mrs. Zhao. With the relationship between Youlin and Tingfeng, you don't have to be this polite."
Duan Yarong and Zhao Youlin were speechless.
It turned out that Mu Tingfeng had learned from his mother to be this shameless.
Duan Yarong opened her mouth and wanted to clarify the relationship between them.
Su Ruixin had been wary of it long ago. Her eyes slightly turned, and she quickly changed the topic, "Oh, it's time for me to change the dressings. Mrs. Zhao, if you don't mind, would you like to accompany me for a walk? The ward is smelly, so it's inevitable to feel uncomfortable after sitting for a long time."
Zhao Youlin and Duan Yarong were speechless. Everywhere in the hospital was smelly.
"I think I'll have to turn you down. I'm not a doctor, so I can't do much even if I go…"
Before Duan Yarong finished speaking, Su Ruixin interrupted her pitifully, "Of course, I'm not telling you to help me change the dressings when I asked you to accompany me. I just think it's too lonely to change it by myself. I injured my head, so it will definitely hurt a lot when I change the dressings later. If no one is by my side, I'll feel scared. Mrs. Zhao, my head was injured because of Youlin, after all. You won't reject my small request, right?"
After Su Ruixin finished speaking, she glanced at the people in the ward aggrievedly.
Although it did not seem weird for her to do such an expression with that face, they felt a little chilly on their backs and still got goosebumps as they knew her true age.
After hearing Su Ruixin's words, Zhao Youlin glanced at the old butler, who was standing behind someone and smiling at her, without a trace. She was speechless and thought to herself. 'Is Mrs. Mu treating the old butler as an invisible person? What did she mean by changing the dressings on her own?'
Duan Yarong was still a little reluctant. But since Su Ruixin had said so, she could not turn her down any longer for the sake of her head injury.
She could only sigh and turned around to Zhao Youlin. Then, she said, "I'll be back soon. Be careful not to get too close to him."
Zhao Youlin was embarrassed and secretly thought that her mother was really treating Mu Tingfeng like a scourge when she was guarding her.
"Okay, I know what to do. I won't let myself be bullied, so don't worry, Mom."
Duan Yarong looked at her daughter worriedly, and she did not seem to be relieved.
Su Ruixin took the initiative to hold Duan Yarong's hand and led her out of the ward. Before leaving, she turned her head and gave Mu Tingfeng, who was on the hospital bed, a sharp gaze. 'Son, I can only help you this much. You have to work hard after this.'
Mu Tingfeng received her gaze, and his eyes were shining lightly.
Without the third wheel Duan Yarong, who was ready to cause trouble, only Zhao Youlin and Mu Tingfeng were left in the ward.
Mu Tingfeng was not a talkative person, and Zhao Youlin did not know what to say as well. The familiar silence started to spread in the ward little by little.
It was so awkward that Zhao Youlin wanted to rush out of the ward directly. She subconsciously looked around, trying her best to ignore the extremely hot gaze on her.
Zhao Youlin looked around the ward, and her gaze finally stopped on the food jar that she put on the table. She said embarrassedly, "Uhm, cough… Are you hungry? I brought you some porridge. You should eat it while it is still hot."
Mu Tingfeng's gaze, which had been stuck to Zhao Youlin since he opened his eyes, finally moved slightly. After seeing the pink food jar with Hello Kitty printing on the table, his eyes flickered. "You made this?"
"Huh?" Mu Tingfeng's sudden question made Zhao Youlin startled. After realizing what the man asked, she frowned and said, "No. The cook at home made it."
Although she could cook it, she rarely did it by herself now. It was because she was busy, and she had a cook at home. She did not need to do this kind of thing by herself.
Mu Tingfeng did not say anything. But if she looked closely, she would find a little disappointment that was obvious in his eyes.
Unfortunately, Zhao Youlin did not notice it at all as she had stood up and ran to open the lid of the food jar.
The aroma of the porridge mixed with the sweetness of red dates rushed out of the food jar the moment the lid was opened. It spread to every corner of the ward.
Zhao Youlin was stunned as she did not expect the cook to make sweet porridge for her. Besides, the red dates and lotus seeds seemed to be for girls to replenish their bodies after…
During dinner last night, Zhao Youlin had specially ordered the cook to prepare a porridge that would replenish the human body for her to take out.
The cook did not know the details, so she probably thought that this porridge was for Zhao Youlin to eat…
