Ning Yichenâs expression turned cold, âSu Zixi, thereâs no need for you to put on a show in front of me.â
Su Zixi chuckled, âJust think of it as me putting on a show then.â
She knew that following him up served no real purpose, but she had to do it. Because Ning Yichen was injured while rescuing her, she had to make sure he was okay. It was that simple.
Ning Yichen sneered lightly and simply ignored her presence.
Su Zixi didnât mind either. While Ning Yichen was getting his X-rays, she took out her phone only to find numerous missed calls from an unknown number.
She frowned slightly and directly ignored the missed calls, then opened WeChat. Shen Yushan kept asking where she was and mentioned that the team presentation would be around ten oâclock, advising her not to worry too much.
Ten oâclock, if Ning Yichenâs test results came out by then, she would still have time to rush back.
Su Zixi breathed a sigh of relief.
Soon, Ning Yichen finished his examination and came out. His injury wasnât severe but it wasnât just a superficial wound either, a slight bone fracture that required bed rest for a period of time.
Bone fracture.
Seeing his right calf in a cast, Su Zixi felt a twinge of sadness.
Ning Yichen looked up and saw Su Zixiâs expression, which stirred something in his heart. He couldnât stop himself from mocking, âWhat, are you planning to take care of me until Iâm healed?â
Su Zixi was taken aback. Seeing his mocking eyes, she felt a sting in her heart and a sense of sorrow.
âOf course not.â She smiled faintly, âI should technically pay for your medical expenses, but you probably wouldnât accept it, so all I can say is thank you.â
âNo need.â Ning Yichen glanced at her, âI only have one request, donât let Lianxi know about todayâs incident.â
âAlright.â Su Zixi forced a bitter smile and gripped her phone, âTake care, Iâm leaving.ân/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
With that, she turned and left the ward.
From today on, Ning Yichen would only have one identity in her life, Su Lianxiâs fiancé.
Su Zixi suppressed the sourness in her heart and tried to focus her thoughts on the presentation for the competition. Just then, a tall man came walking towards her. He was wearing a long black coat, which made his figure appear even more imposing. Because he walked so quickly, the coat billowed behind him.
Several doctors in white coats followed behind him.
Immersed in her thoughts, Su Zixi didnât pay any attention, but the man, upon glancing at her, suddenly stopped in his tracks.
âSu Zixi?â He asked in surprise.
Su Zixi, startled by hearing her name, looked even more surprised than he did, âDo you know me?â
The man looked her up and down and laughed silently. He didnât answer her question but took out his phone and dialed a number, ââ¦Yes, sheâs indeed at my hospital, but donât worry, sheâs perfectly fine.â
After saying that, he hung up and smiled at Su Zixi, âCome with me.â
Su Zixi was bewildered, âBut I donât know you. Also, Iâ¦â
âIâm the director of this hospital.â Huo Yanzhao raised an eyebrow, âDonât worry, Iâm not a bad person.â
Director?
Su Zixi felt even more puzzled but found herself following him involuntarily.
Huo Yanzhao escorted her to a lounge, âWait here for a bit, heâs already on his way and will be here soon.â
ââ¦Who?â Su Zixi felt uncanny.
Huo Yanzhao furrowed his brow and was about to speak when he heard the sound of clear and urgent footsteps behind him.
He smiled slightly, âYouâll know soon enough.â
