Anning and Leiting were leaving the hospital when they ran into Yaheng and Juliet. With Leiting's help, the two greedy people got together. Along the Thames River, many people were cleaning up the scene; the fireworks boxes had become their source of income for the day. They didn't know who the fireworks were for, only that the entire city of Niujin had used them. They also enjoyed an 11-minute romantic spectacle.

Anning: "Ah Qiu..."

Thunder: "Are you cold? It's warmer holding you than carrying you on my back, come here..."

Anning: "We were almost in the courtyard when you started hugging me, and the neighbors saw us. I... I'm so embarrassed..."

Thunder: "So what? It's just that everyone needs to know that you're my wife."

An Ning shyly jumped off Lei Ting's back and buried herself in his arms, trying her best not to let passersby see that it was her. When they arrived at her doorstep, the Chinese medicine was in a box and had already been delivered.

Thunder: "This kid's pretty efficient. I'll make it for you tomorrow."

An Ning: "Mmm...hehe..."

Lei Ting opened the door, and the two went back inside. The whole night was filled with surprises. Liao Qian went to the hospital again, and the two were a little tired.

An Ning: "Seeing Liao Qian like that is heartbreaking..."

Lei Ting: "Let's go see her again tomorrow. An Ning, there's a question I really want to ask you."

An Ning: "What?"

Thunder: "Why did you move to this courtyard instead of a detached villa or a more secluded place on the island to hide from me?!"

Anning: "I think my parents probably felt that you didn't really want to invite me over. Moving was also to help me recover my mood at the time. This villa courtyard area, although not particularly magnificent, has a lot of life. Living here, the happiness index is very high."

Thunder: "Hmm... I was staying at the Fountain Hotel near the entrance. When I found out you were staying here, I was so excited that I almost climbed over the wall to find you."

An Ning: "Lei Ting, you should have come to find me sooner, so I wouldn't forget you..."

Lei Ting: "It's my fault, it's my fault. As soon as you left, I went crazy. I really went crazy and tried to kill myself every day. My grandmother also fell seriously ill. My parents were supporting the family and the company. It took me half a year to recover. Otherwise, you would have thought I was crazy and would do irrational things."

Anning: "Reason... I haven't been rational since I met you... My head is spinning."

Thunder: "Let me carry you to rest, I'm really tired tonight..."

An Ning: "Okay..."

Lei Ting pulled An Ning into his arms, covered her with the blanket, and patted her down. An Ning loved Lei Ting's deep, reassuring scent; only with his presence could she sleep soundly. Lei Ting, too, only felt safe and undisturbed by An Ning's presence.

Early in the morning, An Ning got up and found some ingredients in the refrigerator to make soup for Liao Qian and Allen, who were in the hospital.

Lei Ting got up and found An Ning busy in the kitchen again. He immediately ran over, picked An Ning up, and carried her back to the house.

Anning: "Wait, I'm making soup!"

Thunder: "I don't want you to do any work. Let the nanny do it."

An Ning: "That won't do. Liao Qian and Allen probably haven't eaten anything in the hospital. I made them some pear soup and pork rib soup. Here, have this, some truffle omelets, and a sandwich..."

Thunder: "Baby... my baby is still so virtuous..."

Anning: "Ugh! Not so early in the morning..."

Thunder was about to kiss her again, but Anning nimbly dodged, escaping his grasp with the agility of a swallow. She darted behind a cupboard to hide from Thunder.

An Ning: "You're so annoying, you catching me makes me feel bad again..."

Thunder: "Come here, sweetie..."

Anning: "No... Quickly put these soups in the basket, and eat the sandwiches too. I'm going to take a shower and get dressed. We'll go to the hospital in a bit."

Thunder: "Yes, my queen."

An Ning shyly ran off to take a shower, while Lei Ting tidied up the soup An Ning had made and made a phone call to Liao Qian.

Liao Qian: "Thank you for remembering me, Young Master Lei. I'm not dead yet..."

Thunder: "Pah, pah, pah, what are you talking about dying so early in the morning?"

Liao Qian: "Ahem... What are you doing in the kitchen? Are you going to cook for me yourself?"

Lei Ting: "It's An Ning. She made soup for you early this morning. Look, pork rib and loofah soup with rock sugar and pear soup, because she was worried you and Allen would get too much internal heat. Ah! My wife, she's so thoughtful even towards you two, my darling..."

Liao Qian: "Your horny behavior so early in the morning...it's disgusting..."

Thunder: "You've been so kind, but I've been treated like dirt. I'll drink all this soup and not leave you a drop."

Liao Qian: "No, my Allen hasn't eaten yet! He's been watching over me all night... Hurry up and bring him some so he can have a drink."

Thunder: "Your Allen... okay, okay, we'll go after Anning takes a shower..."

Liao Qian: "Ahem, how's that Yaheng doing? Did he cause you any trouble?"

Thunder: "Yesterday, after we left the hospital, we went for a walk along the Thames River and saw him and Julie. He was trying to cause me trouble! I said a few words to him, and he and Julie went to a hotel..."

Liao Qian: "Young Master Lei lives up to his name; he has the physique of a matchmaker god descended to earth..."

Thunder: "You still care about me?! Why did you say yesterday that you were afraid Allen wouldn't want you? It's just surgery."

Liao Qian: "Alan is a perfectionist. He likes people who have no scars inside or out... I don't want this to affect our relationship."

Lei Ting: "True friendship is revealed in times of trouble. You have no idea how heartbroken and regretful he was when he came to call us yesterday. If I had known earlier that he had such deep feelings for you, I would have brought you two together long ago."

Liao Qian: "I proposed to him yesterday, and he said yes. We'll get married once I've recovered, right here on the banks of the Thames."
