After being beaten down by the entertainment industry, Ning Qiluo packed her bags overnight: "I'm afraid of cyberbullying, I want to go home and inherit my family's fortune."
...
She took back her words. "No, no, I won't go back to Haicheng first. I'll stay with you until you finish your treatment tomorrow, okay?"
“No good,” he said.
Ning Qiluo pouted: "Are you trying to get rid of me?"
Although she really wanted to leave, the thought of the consequences of not leaving made her legs go weak.
Jiang Yingchi's lips curled up slightly; he knew exactly what she was thinking: "Baby, you should go do your own thing. I'll come find you when my eyes have recovered, okay?"
Ning Qiluo hesitated for a moment.
It wasn't until Jiang Yingchi kissed her forehead that she said, "I'm serious."
She knew, but...
Ning Qiluo wrapped her arms around his waist and pressed her face against his chest: "But I'm scared..."
"Afraid it won't get better?"
"Yes." She admitted that this was what she was worried about.
Jiang Yingchi was confident in everything he did, except for this one. He had considered the worst-case scenario: if she couldn't recover, he would stop trying, let her go, and stop bothering her.
But he lost control that day and had already taken her. He wouldn't be willing to give her up just because he couldn't recover.
Therefore, he wants to cooperate well with the treatment and examinations in the next few days.
Get well soon.
See her soon.
The phone rang.
Qi Siyi called again to urge them.
Ning Qiluo replied, saying she would come down right away. After turning off her phone, she tiptoed and kissed his lips, instructing him, "I'll wait for you to come find me soon. If you haven't come find me within ten days, I will come find you, and you're not allowed to hide from me."
"Um."
“Just saying ‘uh’ won’t do; you have to promise me.” She said seriously.
Jiang Yingchi said happily, "Okay, I promise you."
Ning Qiluo was satisfied only after receiving the promise.
However, Jiang Yingchi did not loosen his arms around her waist. Seeing that he was about to press down on her again, Ning Qiluo quickly said, "My second brother is waiting for me, waiting for me."
“No rush,” he leaned down and pressed down, “I’ll ask for a little more benefit.”
They still want to get something in return.
Seeing that the fire was about to start again, Ning Qiluo shrank out of his arms. "You should eat well and not miss me too much."
After saying that, she left as if fleeing.
Jiang Yingchi's fingertips still carried the scent of her hair, a smile playing on his lips. What he didn't tell her was that his vision was slowly returning; his eyes were no longer a blur, and he could at least make out the outlines of people…
...
Ning Qiluo went downstairs and saw Qi Siyi's car parked there in the distance. Qi Siyi was also standing next to the car, obviously waiting for her.
Feeling extremely guilty, she deliberately wore a coat with a high collar.
She strode over there and called out sweetly, "Second Brother."
Qi Siyi looked over.
"Why did it take you so long to come down?" Qi Siyi frowned.
Seeing that Ning Qiluo seemed to be in good spirits, the weight in his heart eased considerably.
However, only Ning Qiluo herself knew that she was trying hard to stay alert, and her steps were a little unsteady.
On the bus.
"How is his eye?" Qi Siyi asked.
Jiang Yingchi, such a prominent figure, has suddenly disappeared from the business world, with Jiang Zhaoying, a half-baked businessman, handling all matters. It's quite rare.
Even Qi Siyi, who always bickers with Qi Siyi, couldn't help but show concern and had previously sent people to Hong Kong several times to inquire about him.
After Ning Qiluo got into the car, she became much more listless and could no longer pretend.
She replied softly, "I think I'm recovering."
"Should?" Qi Siyi chuckled and turned to look at her.
Because of Ning Qiluo's hunched position and her close proximity to Qi Siyi, he saw something on her neck that shouldn't have been there.
