Kangfei Hospital VIP ward.
âYouâre saying heâs already left? Impossible, right?â Rong Yan, carrying an insulated food container, stood at the ward entrance. Looking at the empty room, she asked the nurse in disbelief.
The nurse replied with difficulty, âMiss Rong, Iâm not sure what happened, but Mr. Li has indeed left, and itâs been almost two hours.â
Rong Yan raised her wrist to check her watch. It had been almost two hours since she left the hospital to take a shower. So, did Li Shengxiao get discharged shortly after she left the hospital?
âShall I contact Doctor Cui for you?â Knowing her relationship with Li Shengxiao, the nurse asked tentatively.
Rong Yan, embarrassed to trouble others, waved her hand and said, âNo need, Iâll just give him a call and ask.â
âAlright.â
She went to the window in the corridor, placed her insulated food container on a nearby chair, and took out her phone, about to make a call. Suddenly, a voice from behind stopped her.
âMiss Rong!â
Rong Yan turned around and saw Gu Ming approaching rapidly.
âMiss Rong, Iâve finally found you.â
Gu Ming arrived, panting heavily.
He made it just in time!
Without having a chance to steady his breathing, he hurriedly conveyed someoneâs instructions, âMiss Rong, Mr. Li saw that you hadnât come over and has already completed the discharge procedures; heâs waiting for you outside.â
âDidnât he leave the hospital a while ago? The nurse just said heâs been gone for two hours. I thought he had some urgent business at the company and had gone back to Li Group headquarters.â
âNo!â Gu Ming denied firmly, âMr. Li had someone handle the discharge procedures early on, but then Doctor Cui arrived, and Mr. Li spent some time chatting with him, which caused a delay. Maybe the nurse misunderstood.â
He shifted all the blame onto the innocent Cui Jiangjing, who wasnât even at the hospital. Cui Jiangjing would have been furious if he were here.
âIs that so?â Rong Yan didnât think too much about it.
Mainly, she never anticipated that Li Shengxiao would go to KT Entertainment to take up her cause. She hesitantly looked down at the insulated food container in her hand and, feeling gloomy, followed Gu Ming out.
Outside the hospital, a black Lincoln was parked quietly by the roadside.
Gu Ming jogged over, opened the car door for her first, and then softly said, âMiss Rong, watch your head.â
âThank you.â
Rong Yan bent down to get into the car.
As soon as she got in, she saw the distinguished and handsome man sitting inside, with a circle of white bandage wrapped around the back of his head, looking somewhat pale but not affecting the imposing aura he exuded. Sitting there, he seemed like Godâs most perfect sculpture, flawless at every angle!
The moment Rong Yan entered the car, her wrist was seized, and his hawk-like eyes fell on the item in her hand. His voice hoarse, he asked, âWhat are you holding?â
âThis?â Rong Yan lifted the insulated food container in her hand and said gloomily, âItâs porridge for you.â
âI thought since you were injured, youâd need to eat something light, so I went back to take a shower and made you some porridge specially. Who knew that by the time I returned, you had already been discharged, so itâs not needed anymore. Iâll just heat it up and eat it tonight.â
Rong Yan was accustomed to frugality, not because she was stingy. Back at the Rong Family, although she didnât live as comfortably as Rong Weiwei, Rong Nanfeng treated her quite well; at the very least, she never went hungry. Her dislike for waste mainly stemmed from the habit she developed while living abroad alone, taking care of Little Baby.
