After all, she simply couldn’t outfight her!
Back then, she trusted her, depended on her, and never imagined she would harm her. If she, Yang Xueshan, had known earlier, would she still have had a chance to succeed? Could she still be lying here?
Yang Xueshan felt a despair she had never known before!
When Ye Ning came out with that notebook, she didn’t immediately look for the place. After checking the time, she thought of the man in another hospital ward and decided to go back to him first.
Returning to the sickroom, the peace and warmth of the high-end VIP ward immediately invaded her senses.
However, today, a whiff of blood mingled with the scent of disinfectant in the air, making her sensitive nose very uncomfortable.
Had he finished his injection?
Walking inside, she saw the man casually flipping through a magazine at the small table, so she quickly approached him, "You’re awake? Have you eaten anything?"
Ou Mucen was browsing through a newly arrived finance magazine. Seeing her return, his eyes, otherwise devoid of emotion, lifted slightly, "No."
"You haven’t eaten? Why not eat? It’s getting late, you’re a patient, how can you endure without eating?" She hurriedly brought out the porridge and some other dishes she had brought back, hearing he hadn’t eaten.
Fortunately, the takeout place used insulated containers, so even after more than an hour, the food was still warm.
So she simply washed her hands, took everything out on the table, then took the magazine from his hand, and handed him the spoon, "Stop reading for now, eat something."
This gesture was a significant step she took towards him, something she had never dared to do before.
Yet, it seemed like the man did not appreciate it much; seeing his magazine taken away, his brows furrowed slightly, and he didn’t reach out to take the spoon she offered.
Seeing this, Ye Ning involuntarily shrank back, standing there awkwardly with her gaze lowered, not knowing where to place her hands, "I’m sorry, then... Keep reading if you want, and eat whenever you feel like it."
She sat down in front of him and started eating her own meal...
She was always so cautious, just as she had whispered into his ear while he was sleeping, even though they were together now, the disparity in their backgrounds and the difference in status still made her feel insecure, lacking confidence.
But just as she was eating with a sense of loss, the man sitting opposite her picked up the spoon himself, "Don’t use these disposable things in the future. They’re not clean."
With a mouthful of food, Ye Ning’s beautiful glass-like eyes suddenly lifted to look at him, "Not clean?"
Ou Mucen hummed affirmatively, his long and distinct fingers holding the spoon leisurely scooped a small amount from the porridge before him and tasted it nonchalantly.
How could someone make even eating look so attractive?
Ye Ning, forgetting what she was doing, simply held her spoon in her mouth, staring at him, and her gaze was as infatuated as it could possibly be.
Ou Mucen continued to eat slowly; he really wasn’t in the mood for food, and if it were not to prevent her from overthinking, he wouldn’t even want to touch these things.
