"But why didn't you tell me sooner?" Her voice still sounded a little strained.

"I'm just afraid you'll worry. You've been with him for so long, don't you know him? He carries everything on his own. You've been busy filming lately and can't get away. If I told you, you'd be coming here every day, and he'd be heartbroken."

Jiang Zhaoying realized that this brat cared a lot about her brother.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have said so confidently that she would come here every day if she knew.

"How is he now? I haven't seen him since he left my house that day. He hasn't been discharged from the hospital for so long after the car accident, it must be serious..."

Ning Qiluo was getting a little anxious.

Jiang Zhaoying wanted to say something, but she swallowed her words and only said, "Go in and see for yourself."

There's a lot to say, so she might as well go in and see for herself.

His brother's vision has not recovered yet, and the doctor said the situation is not optimistic.

Oh, what a worry!

He'll be busy until his brother recovers.

Ning Qiluo rubbed her eyes, tidied her hair, and then looked up at Jiang Zhaoying, asking, "Do I look alright? Do I look particularly bad? I've been on the road for over 20 hours, and I've been in such a sorry state the whole way."

"20 hours? What are you doing, traveling for more than 20 hours by car..."

"I'm not going to talk to you anymore, I have to go in."

She turned to go inside.

Jiang Zhaoying grabbed her wrist and gave her the small cake in her hand, "Take this with you. It's a birthday after all. Even if it doesn't have a sense of ceremony, it should still have some atmosphere."

Ning Qiluo gave her a grateful look: "Thank you, you look very young too."

Jiang Zhaoying: "..."

...

Pushing open the ward door, Ning Qiluo carefully took each step, afraid of disturbing Jiang Yingchi's rest.

She walked inside, heading straight for the hospital bed, when a cold voice came from beside her: "Why are you here at this hour?"

Ning Qiluo turned around and looked in the direction the sound came from, and found Jiang Yingchi sitting on a small single sofa facing the window.

It was night outside, and the blackout curtains were drawn back, leaving only a thin veil hanging to the ground. The temperature was constant today, and Hong Kong was even more charming at night than during the day.

It had been quite a while since they last met, and when Ning Qiluo saw him again, she felt that he was like a completely different person.

He usually appears in front of her in a formal business suit, with every strand of hair meticulously styled, and his expression is perpetually tense.

But what I saw today was completely different from usual.

She wore a light gray thin, loose sweater, light-colored trousers, and slippers. Her hair was loose and fell over her forehead, making her look extremely gentle.

Jiang Yingchi didn't hear a sound and glanced to the side.

In that instant, their eyes met.

Ning Qiluo didn't avoid his gaze, simply looking at him. He seemed completely unsurprised by her arrival, his expression utterly calm, without the slightest change.

"Did you get into trouble again?"

Did you cause trouble?

She was just being willful this once, it doesn't count as causing any trouble!

He shook his head, but Jiang Yingchi still had that calm and composed expression.

Ning Qiluo was a little annoyed, but Jiang Yingchi seemed to be in good condition. Could it be that he had broken his leg and couldn't stand up? Thinking this, Ning Qiluo walked closer to him.

Jiang Yingchi hadn't heard a response, and finally, a change in expression appeared on her usually calm face. Her brow furrowed as she said, "I know you've been weary and resentful these past few days. But have you considered who will take over the Jiang family business if I were to completely collapse?"
