An impure thought crept into his mind.

“No, no.” He quickly dismissed that thought. Luo Ying was currently weak, and he couldn’t risk aggravating her health.

However, a certain restless part of his body couldn’t help but stir.

Luo Ying keenly felt the changes in his body temperature and breathing. She wrapped her arms around his neck. Her lips brushed against his chest. “Honey, take me home. This hospital smells like disinfectant. I don’t want to stay here anymore.”

Which man could resist? Lu Zhao was burning with desire, but he managed to maintain his last bit of clarity.

He held back his urges.

“No, you must recover before going home,” Lu Zhao stated firmly, his tone leaving no room for negotiation.

Luo Ying pouted unhappily. “But I don’t want to. Look at me, I’m perfectly fine. Why do I need to stay in the hospital? I’ll only have problems if I’m confined here.”

Lu Zhao carefully examined Luo Ying’s face. Indeed, her complexion was much rosier than earlier. She appeared energetic and didn’t look weak at all.

Had he been overthinking things? Was Luo Ying not the poison master’s daughter? Was someone else supplying him with blood?

While he was deep in thought, Lu Zhao was interrupted by Luo Ying once again.

“Honey, hurry and take me home. I can’t hold it in any longer,” Luo Ying pleaded when she noticed Lu Zhao’s hesitation. She hardened her heart and whispered into his ear, “Honey, it’s been a while. I want it.”

Those words shattered the last defenses in Lu Zhao’s heart. He immediately lifted Luo Ying by the waist and walked out of the ward.

The on-duty nurse widened her eyes in surprise. A dashing company CEO was princess-carrying a female celebrity out of the hospital. Such a scene was usually only seen in dramas.

She seized the opportunity to capture a few photos and sent them to her group chat.

In the photos, Lu Zhao stood tall and strong as he embraced the petite Luo Ying protectively. Half of her face was buried in his arms, and Luo Ying looked bashful.

The photos quickly sparked a widespread discussion.

“Is this a real-life portrayal of a romance novel? Emergency room red alert!”

“This is too sweet! The CEO embracing his wife in a hospital gown late at night. What kind of plot is this?”

“Where can I find a husband like this? I want to kowtow in that direction!”

However, there were also skeptical voices.

“It’s Luo Ying again. She never stops.”

“She keeps going in and out of the hospital while treating it like her own home.

Is this some new way to generate publicity?”

“I’m amazed by this woman. Didn’t she divorce Lu Zhao? How is she using his popularity every day?”

The photos continued to circulate until they eventually appeared on Liu Sheng’s phone.

She furrowed her brows and stared at the photos with fury burning in her heart.

Luo Ying, well done.

A wicked smile played on Liu Sheng’s lips.

As they drove home, Lu Zhao couldn’t hold himself back any longer. He gently laid Luo Ying on the bed and quickly undressed himself.

God knew how much he longed for this woman.

Luo Ying cooperated fully and planted kisses along Lu Zhao’s neck.

Her smile hid her extreme pain. Her body was drenched in cold sweat as she fought against the spasms in her heart.

Earlier that day, despite Jiang Ming’s objections, she had insisted on injecting an excessive dose of stimulants.

Now, her heart was overworked.

But this was the only way she could make Lu Zhao completely believe that she wasn’t the poison master’s daughter and continue accepting the treatment without worry.

She had to do everything in her power to protect Lu Zhao!

The next day, Luo Ying arrived on set.

Chi Tong looked at her with concern. “Sister Ying, why don’t you take some time to recover first?”

Luo Ying patted his shoulder. “Look at me, I’m perfectly fine. Why do I need to rest? Watch this!” She even spun around in place.

Because he was worried, Lu Zhao had insisted on coming to the set that day. He wanted to make sure that Luo Ying was truly okay before returning to the company.

Even though he wore sunglasses, his remarkably handsome face still caught the attention of the crew.

Among the admiring gazes, there was one extra with an unfriendly look hidden amongst them.

The woman glared at Lu Zhao, then turned her fierce gaze towards Luo Ying. She gripped something in her hand.

The scenes to be filmed that day were relatively simple. They involved indoor conversations, flirtatious moments between the lead characters, and outdoor scenes of walking on the street.

Su Li knew that Luo Ying had just been discharged from the hospital. He had deliberately arranged less demanding scenes for the day.

As Luo Ying and Xie Yun exchanged glances, Lu Zhao stood beside them with an unhappy expression on his face..
