Shen Lin's beating of Huo Yanzhi was both an act of venting his anger and an expression of his concern for Ye Xinning.

After that punch, he walked to a chair and sat down. He had a lot to settle with Huo Yanzhi, and he would do it slowly.

Shen Ting and Chi Zhao stood beside Shen Lin, exchanged a glance, and both knew it was best not to speak at this moment.

As time passed, more and more people gathered at the door of the ward, including Shen Yu, Xi Yuan, Ye Xiaoxiao, Xiao Chen, and others.

Of all these people, only Shen Yu dared to step forward and ask Shen Lin, "How is Ningning?"

“Nanxing is inside. She told me that everything will be alright.”

It'll be alright...

Whether this statement truly meant everything was alright, or was Shen Nanxing simply trying to comfort Shen Lin, none of them could discern the truth. At this moment, all they could do was wait there.

After a long time, the emergency room door finally opened from the inside, and Shen Nanxing walked out.

Almost the instant the door opened, Shen Lin quickly got up and went to Shen Nanxing.

How is she?

Shen Nanxing took off his mask, his expression very serious. "The situation is not good. Her wrist injury is very serious, and she has lost too much blood. She urgently needs a blood transfusion. The hospital's blood bank is running low. Do you have anyone here with type O blood?"

"I am."

Amidst the silence of everyone, only Huo Yanzhi's deep voice rang out from the back.

"Come with me."

Shen Nanxing was not familiar with Huo Yanzhi, and when she heard that he had type O blood, she didn't think much of it and directly told people to follow her.

Shen Lin stared intently at Huo Yanzhi. Chi Zhao knew what he was thinking and patted him on the shoulder, saying, "Ningning's safety is the most important thing."

Shen Lin pursed his thin lips tightly, but ultimately didn't say a word.

Everyone began another round of waiting outside the emergency room.

After what seemed like an eternity, the emergency room door finally opened, and everyone's hearts leaped into their throats once more.

Shen Lin stared at Shen Nanxing without asking, but his meaning was clear.

Shen Nanxing took off her mask and looked at the group of people waiting at the door. "It's kind of scary that you're all staring at me like that, you know?"

Shen Lin reached out and grasped Shen Nanxing's arm. "Shen Nanxing, this is not the time for jokes."

Shen Lin's grip was quite strong, and Shen Nanxing cried out in pain, "I'm out of danger. I've already had someone transfer me to a VIP ward, but I still need to be observed carefully. Sister-in-law's wound is very deep; this is no small matter. Brother, are you trying to cripple my arm?"

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief when they heard Shen Nanxing say that he was out of danger. Although they were still told to be careful, the fact that he was out of danger was the best news.

Especially Shen Lin, as soon as Shen Nanxing finished speaking, the man's clenched hand loosened at that moment, and the gloomy look on his face disappeared.

Where is he/she?

"I'll have someone take you there."

Shen Nanxing winked at the nurse beside him, and the nurse quickly said, "Mr. Shen, please come with me."

Shen Lin went to see Ye Xinning with the nurse. Everyone else was worried, but they also knew that this was the time to give Shen Lin and Ye Xinning some time.

"Everyone should go home. It's so late. You can come see your sister-in-law again tomorrow."

Xi Yuan nodded and held Shen Nanxing's hand. "Nanxing, thank you. You've worked hard too."

"It's not hard work, it's all what I should do."

"Then we'll head back first. You should also go home and rest early after get off work."

"good."

After everyone left, Shen Nanxing was about to go to her office to rest for a while before going to see Ye Xinning. But as soon as she turned around, she saw Chi Zhao standing by the wall with his arms crossed and a lazy expression.

Shen Nanxing was surprised that Chi Zhao hadn't left yet. She paused for a second, said nothing, and turned to go back to her office.

At that moment, Chi Zhao's voice came from behind, "What, now that you see me, you don't even have a word to say?"

Shen Nanxing turned around and looked at the faint smile on Chi Zhao's face.

It seems that ever since she met this man, he has always been like this. No matter when, he always has a faint smile on his face. He seems approachable, but when you really want to get to know him, you will find that this man is so calm and gentle to everyone, yet he also maintains just the right distance from everyone.

In the past, she was blindly confident that she could change the man in front of her, and foolishly believed that she was different in his eyes.

But after years of pursuing him, she still didn't receive any favor from the man, and she suddenly realized how ridiculously naive she had been.

Chi Zhao is not someone Shen Nanxing can have.

I couldn't see it clearly before, but now I can.

"Mr. Chi, that's a strange thing to say. Is there some kind of opportunity between us that we absolutely have to talk?"

"Long time no see, you've become quite the smooth talker!"

"Really? Well, thank you for the compliment, Mr. Chi," Shen Nanxing replied with a forced smile.

Chi Zhao didn't speak, staring at her intently.

Shen Nanxing had just come out of the emergency room and was exhausted, so she didn't have time to play the "statues" game with him here.

She turned to leave, but the man behind her spoke again, "That man, is he good to you?"

Shen Nanxing took a second to realize that the person Chi Zhao was talking about was Zhou Jiamu, her boyfriend.

She turned around, her gaze landing on Chi Zhao with a half-smile. "So, Mr. Chi, you're concerned about me?"

"You're overthinking it. I was just asking casually," Chi Zhao said indifferently, lowering his head.

Shen Nanxing nodded, her smile growing even wider than before. "Really? That's really too much trouble for Mr. Chi. You're so busy, yet you still remember me."

Chi Zhao raised his head, his eyes flickering between light and shadow, and said nothing.

“Zhou Jiamu is very good to me, both psychologically and physically. I am very happy and joyful when I am with him. I no longer have to doubt myself every day whether I am not good enough or whether I am worthy of his affection. With him, I have regained the self-esteem I had lost. I like him very much. If nothing unexpected happens, we will meet each other's parents at the end of the year and get married at the beginning of next year. At that time, I would like to ask Mr. Chi to take the time to attend our wedding.”

Shen Nanxing finished speaking in one breath, then turned and left without looking at Chi Zhao.

Chi Zhao stood there, watching Shen Nanxing's departing figure. He tugged at the corner of his lips, trying not to care, but just thinking about what Shen Nanxing had just said made his head ache with anger.

Shen Nanxing walked straight toward her office. After a few steps, someone suddenly caught up with her from behind, and the next second, she was picked up by the waist.

Shen Nanxing was startled. Looking at Chi Zhao's enlarged face, her eyes widened in disbelief.

"Chi Zhao, are you crazy? Put me down."

"Marriage? Meeting the parents? Shen Nanxing, you've got some nerve... I'll see how you meet the parents, how this marriage goes?"

Shen Nanxing, "..."
