“Child, why did you suddenly stop?”
Shi Nuannuan looked at her mother and did not answer her question. Instead, she said cautiously, “Mommy.”
“Hmm?” Shen Lanzhi frowned unable to comprehend her daughter’s behaviour.
“If the boyfriend I’m going to have in the future is someone with no status, what would you think?”
Shen Lanzhi frowned and stared at her daughter.
Could it be that she went on a date with her boyfriend on the day she disappeared?
But who could it be?
“You have a boyfriend?”
Shi Nuannuan paused and licked her pink lower lip. “No, I’m just asking…”
She smiled guiltily and turned to go upstairs. “Good night, Mommy!”
Shen Lanzhi was even more confused by her daughter’s series of baffling words and actions. She thought hard and walked up to the second floor.
Could this child really have a boyfriend?
…
At ten o’clock in the night, Xiangyi woke up in a daze.
Looking at the clean white ceiling, he furrowed his brows slightly.
The hospital?
“You’re awake.”
Shi Yuting’s deep and powerful voice came from the side. Xiangyi turned his head slightly when he heard it, and saw Shi Yuting sitting there, staring at him.
“Sir.” When he came back to his senses, he tried to get up, but only ended up re-opening his wound, and his face instantly turned pale!
“Don’t move, you’re seriously injured,” said Shi Yuting calmly as he sat there.
Xiangyi lay back down again. He took a deep breath which slightly eased the pain. But he was shocked.
This was a hospital, which meant that they had left the island and had been saved.
“Are you alright?”
After he fainted, he could no longer remember what had happened on the island.
Shi Yuting nodded slightly. “Yes.”
“But, why are you here?” Xiangyi knew that even if he was seriously injured, it was not necessary for His Excellency to personally take care of him.
Shi Yuting glanced at him with his long and narrow eyes and softly said, “I was entrusted to do so by someone.”
If he did not stay, Nuannuan would not be able to leave without worry.
Then, he stood up and said, “Rest well and don’t worry about anything else.”
As soon as he finished speaking, he had already turned around and walked out of the ward.
Xiangyi was a little stunned.
Entrusted by someone? Who?
When Yuting returned to Shi Mansion, it was already late at night.
The entire mansion was silent. It was obvious that they had already fallen asleep.
When he returned to her room, Zuo Weiyi was sound asleep on the bed as well.
He walked over and looked at her sleeping face. He could not help but bend over and plant another kiss on her cheek. Then, he turned around and walked towards the bathroom.
Perhaps she had slept too much, but when she heard the sound of the bathroom door opening, Zuo Weiyi woke up.
She looked around the room but did not see Shi Yuting. Then, she vaguely heard the sound of water coming from inside.
She looked out the window. It should be late at night.
After waking up, she could not fall asleep again. She leaned against the headboard and picked up a book to read.
Shi Yuting came out of the shower and was surprised to see her leaning against the bed.
“Did I wake you up?”
He walked over, lifted the blanket and laid down under it. He let her lean against his arm and read the book with her. “What are you reading?”
“You just came back? How’s Xiangyi?”
“He’s already awake.”
Zuo Weiyi was relieved.
“Oh, Nuannuan came over earlier and asked if you were back because you didn’t bring your phone. She seems to be worried about Xiangyi.”
Shi Yuting narrowed his eyes slightly.
