When Ye Ning awoke, the entire ward was quiet, the room was filled with the faint scent of medicinal herbs, the lighting soft, the atmosphere serene. Had it not been for the IV bottle hanging above her head, which she saw as soon as she opened her eyes, she might have thought she was at home.
The VIP ward was indeed very nice!
Just as she was staring absent-mindedly at the ceiling, someone spoke in the quiet ward with a simple two-word question, their voice clear and uncommonly elegant.
Ye Ning’s brain jolted, and she immediately looked towards the source of the voice...
A dark blue casual shirt, the collar casually unbuttoned, revealing the prominent Adam’s apple on his fair neck, his figure tall and slender. At this moment, with his legs crossed while sitting in that chair, and looking down at the laptop on his lap, the lines of his back were especially straight and imposing.
Ye Ning’s mouth fell slightly agape, and for a moment, she forgot what she wanted to say.
Ou Mucen had actually been focusing on an email on his laptop, one that was giving him a bit of a headache. After asking that question, the woman in the hospital room didn’t make a sound, and he suddenly furrowed his brows slightly, looking over at her, "What, did you sleep yourself stupid?"
Ye Ning quickly shook her head, "No... no, I was just... what time is it now?"
She was a bit nervous, and somewhat flattered. She truly hadn’t expected him to come—who was he? He was the highly esteemed third young master of the Ou Family. How could he possibly come to visit a woman whose status and position were not even worth a toe of his?
Ye Ning could hear her own heart "thumping" wildly inside her chest...
Ou Mucen, however, didn’t seem to notice this. Hearing her ask for the time, he simply lifted his wrist to check, "It’s a little after eight; you’ve slept for four hours. Chengzhi gave you the medication. Don’t worry, there’s nothing wrong with your brain!"
What kind of comment was that? Sleeping a bit longer didn’t equate to suspecting she had brain problems.
Ye Ning looked away and lay there, calming herself for a long while until she felt her heart wasn’t beating as fiercely, before she struggled to sit up from the hospital bed.
Huh? Where’s Xiaobao? Where did he go? Why isn’t he here?
Noticing the absence of the little figure in the ward, she became suspicious, "Where’s Xiaobao? Where did he go? Why don’t I see him?"
Ou Mucen glanced at her indifferently, "He’s asleep; I took him to Chengzhi’s office."
The director’s office?
That made sense, after all, there was only one bed in her ward. If she was sleeping, Xiaobao would certainly have no place to rest.
As Ye Ning realized this, she suddenly felt her heart skip a beat while looking at the man before her.
"Third Master, this time... I’ve really troubled you. If it weren’t for you, something bad might have happened to my son and me today."
You know you did something wrong?
The man, who was typing on the keyboard, kept his gaze fixed on the screen without moving an inch, but the corners of his lips curved up into a satisfied smirk, "Didn’t you go to meet your master? What, he doesn’t care about you?"
