Chapter 63: Chapter 63: Didn’t Recognize
Su Zixi couldn’t help but inquire upon hearing a familiar name, “Xuefei? Is it Senior Yun Xuefei?”
Huo Yanzhao raised his eyebrows in surprise, “You know Xuefei?”
“When I first started school, Senior Xuefei helped me a lot, and most of my part-time jobs were introduced to me by her,” Su Zixi said gratefully. “After she graduated and went abroad, we lost touch. So she’s already back in the country?”
“That’s right, she returned to the country at the beginning of the year, and now she is my wife,” Huo Yanzhao said with a smile. “Since you’re Xuefei’s junior, you must come over to our place sometime.”
“Sure! I will definitely visit!” Su Zixi said excitedly.
He Jingyao, seeing these two chatting so happily, looked displeased.
He clenched Su Zixi’s hand and reminded her with a smile, “Are you still going to participate in your competition?”
Su Zixi then realized she had completely forgotten about the competition! She said anxiously, “Can I still make it if I go now?”
“You can,” He Jingyao reassured. “But if you delay any longer, it might not be the case.”
“I’m going right now,” Su Zixi said, not daring to delay any further, as she waved goodbye to Huo Yanzhao hurriedly and rushed toward the elevator.
He Jingyao revealed a triumphant smile.
Huo Yanzhao saw everything and clicked his tongue in amazement. He couldn’t tell that He Jingyao actually had quite the knack for dealing with women.
After He Jingyao and Su Zixi left Siming Hospital, at the same time, Su Lianxi got out of the car and hurried to Ning Yichen’s hospital room.
Seeing Ning Yichen’s right leg immobilized, her eyes reddened, “Yichen, what exactly happened? How did you get hurt?”
“Don’t worry,” Ning Yichen gently wrapped his arm around her shoulder. “I was just accidentally knocked over by something. The doctor said it’ll be all right in at most half a month.”
Su Lianxi, with a face full of concern, said, “We need to find out who did this; we can’t let them get away with it!”
Ning Yichen chuckled, “It’s just a minor issue.”
“Yichen, you’re just too kind-hearted,” Su Lianxi said pensively.
After spending several months with Ning Yichen, she had gradually come to see how gentle and kind-hearted he was—annoyingly so, to the point of being weak, without any of the aura befitting the young master of the Ning Family.
Although she felt some dissatisfaction, she dared not express it.
Ning Yichen smiled as he tousled her hair, “By the way, aren’t you signing the film contract today?”
Su Lianxi’s mood instantly brightened, “Yes, it’s tonight.”
“It’s a pity that I can’t accompany you,” Ning Yichen said regretfully.
“It’s okay, having Xiaofang take me over is just as good,” Su Lianxi said obediently.
Xiaofang was Ning Yichen’s assistant.
He nodded and picked up the jacket from the bedside, “Lianxi, what do you think this is?”
Su Lianxi was startled, examined the garment closely, and looked puzzled, “What about it?”
Ning Yichen felt somewhat disappointed. He hadn’t expected her not to recognize this jacket.
“You’ve forgotten? This is the jacket I used to wear. Today, when I was driving past Yanzhou University, I saw that Su Zixi had this jacket, so I asked her for it. She also admitted that it was her who had taken it secretly,” Ning Yichen explained.
Su Lianxi’s face suddenly turned pale!
She forced a smile, “Right, that jacket! I haven’t seen it for so long that I actually didn’t recognize it at first.”
Seeing her pale face, a strange feeling crossed Ning Yichen’s heart.
“By the way, did Su Zixi really admit that she took the jacket? She agreed just like that?” Su Lianxi asked, feigning indifference.
