“He can cook?”
Mei Shu was about to open the lid, but then pulled her hand back. “When did Ah Si do this?”
Jiang He grinned. “Master Si finished dealing with company matters this morning, then took the time to come home and cook soup for you himself. He asked me to bring it to the hospital for you. But when I arrived at the hospital, I found out you had already sneaked out. I had to call Master Si. But it was quite a coincidence, you went to the same restaurant Master Si was planning to go to! Isn’t this fate?”
Fate?
More like bad luck!
She had barely sat down in the private room when Lu Si caught her red- handed!
Jiang He cautiously glanced at her through the mirror, smiling ingratiatingly. “Master Si isn’t really mad at you. He’s just worried. Once he calms down, everything will be fine. When you return to the ward later, you can taste Master Si’s cooking.”
Mei Shu pretended to be indifferent, asking, “He really made it himself? I never heard that he could cook before. It can’t be good, can it?”
“It’s not bad!” Jiang He saw her relaxing and his smile grew more lively. “You don’t know, although Master Si has never cooked before, he followed the recipe step by step. The soup is perfect in color, fragrance, and taste, without any help from others. Master Si really cares about you from the bottom of his heart!”
Mei Shu sighed softly. “I know he’s doing it for my own good, but I don’t want to rely on him for everything. It’s just a leg injury, after all. I’ve had worse injuries before.”
“What are you saying?”
Jiang He thought she was talking about the injuries she had suffered before, perhaps in the countryside, and immediately felt indignant on her behalf. “Miss Mei, don’t worry. Jiang Hai and I are cooperating with the police to investigate. We’ll soon find the hit-and-run driver for you! If you’ve been hurt before, you can tell Master Si. He won’t let those villains off!”
Mei Shu just smiled lightly, not intending to explain.
The people who had hurt her in the past had all been retaliated against by her own means.
She took out her phone and subconsciously scrolled to her chat with Lu Si, looking at the “Good morning” message he had sent her earlier, feeling deeply guilty.
She had even forgotten to reply to his morning message, yet he remembered her leg injury and took the trouble to come home to learn how to make soup for her.
Just as she was staring at the screen absentmindedly, Lu Si’s message came through.
“At 1 o’clock this afternoon, I’ve arranged for your attending physician to examine your leg injury.”
Mei Shu stared at the message for a long time, inexplicably lost in thought. After a while, she remembered to reply with a simple “Okay.” The warmth that washed over her heart made her feel a bit emotional.
She promptly turned off the screen, leaned back in her chair, and sighed.
She was done for. She had completely surrendered to this man in her life.
Judging from her expression just now, Jiang He guessed that she had been chatting with Master Si. Unable to contain his amusement, he chuckled, “Miss Mei, Master Si really cares about you. Of course, I also know that you treat Master Si sincerely. So, don’t quarrel with each other anymore!”
Mei Shu said, “You’re quite good at mediating between lovers. Could it be that you once had a heartfelt love affair, a memorable romance?”
Jiang He’s smile vanished instantly when he heard this.
Mei Shu waited for him to speak for a long time, suddenly realizing what was going on. She intentionally sat up to tease him, “Jiang He, you’re not young anymore. Have you never been in a relationship until now?”
Jiang He was indignant. “It’s just that the timing wasn’t right!”
“Oh! So it’s a matter of timing!” She intentionally elongated her tone, mischievously staring at his increasingly reddening profile.
Jiang He felt as uncomfortable as if he were sitting on pins and needles. He quickly begged for mercy, “Miss Mei, please don’t make fun of me. Actually, I do want to be in a relationship, but Master Si has given me too much work! I don’t even have time to think about it!”
Mei Shu smiled knowingly and said, “So, your lifelong affairs were still delayed by Alt Si?”
“You can’t put it that way!” Jiang He immediately started to explain as if facing a major crisis. “What I mean is that I can’t even handle my current job properly, let alone have the ability to provide a happy life for a girl.”
Mei Shu patted his shoulder to signal him to relax. “Don’t be so tense. Master Si can’t hear us anyway. Besides, it’s normal to have such thoughts. When there’s a chance, I’ll talkto Master Si and let you and Jiang Hai have a good vacation!” “Really?” Jiang He looked at her with a pleasantly surprised expression, but then immediately drooped his head. “Forget it, Master Si never takes a break. I don’t dare to take one either.”
As they spoke, the car passed through the last intersection and finally arrived at the hospital.
Jiang He got out of the car first, took a wheelchair out of the trunk, assembled it, and then opened the car door to help Mei Shu sit in it. “Actually, I’m willing to accompany Master Si in managing the company. With the current situation in the business world being so chaotic, even if Master Si really gives Jiang Hai and me a vacation, I wouldn’t feel at ease going off to play.”
