Ning Lang smirked and chuckled, "Lie down, I'll take you to get your injuries checked in a bit."

Sheng Xuan understood her intention. Since there was nothing to do during the New Year, he decided to play along with her and lay down.

"Just don't hit my face, everything else is up to you."

Ning Lang put away the disinfectant cotton, clenched his fist, and lightly punched his muscular chest, making a dull thud, before moving closer to his chin—

Sheng Xuan laughed and instinctively grabbed her fist.

"I told you it wouldn't work, but you still came! Are you just jealous that I'm too handsome?"

Ning Lang looked at his bright and energetic face, his handsome and vigorous eyebrows and eyes, and felt his warm and thick palms enveloping her own. She couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.

Looking at the pretty face so close to his, Sheng Xuan felt the soft, smooth touch in his palm, and his heart started pounding a few more times without him realizing it!

What's wrong with him?

"Miss Ning! Thank goodness! Xiao Lü has woken up!" the doctor exclaimed joyfully in the examination room.

Ning Lang snapped out of her daze, calmly withdrew her hand, and slowly stood up. "Let's go see Ah Lu first."

Sheng Xuan gave a soft "hmm," sat up, and walked slowly toward the examination room, her ears already bright red.

The doctor said that although Green had woken up, it was still very weak and needed to continue receiving treatment at the hospital.

Ning Lang's eyes reddened as she looked at A-Lu, who was in poor spirits but kept insisting on going home.

"Doctor, if it recovers well, can it be discharged the day after tomorrow?"

"Let's see," the doctor sighed softly. "The day after tomorrow is the first day of the Lunar New Year. If the condition is stable, we will call you to pick it up and discharge it. There are staff on duty here 24 hours a day, including on New Year's Eve, so please don't worry."

Sheng Xuan frowned, told them to take good care of A-Lu, and then turned and left with Ning Lang in his hand.

As darkness fell, a howling north wind picked up, and a sudden chill set in.

Ning Lang walked very slowly, looking at the tips of his shoes and the dark asphalt road, without saying a word.

Sheng Xuan knew she was very sad and upset, and his heart ached. He held her hand tightly.

"I...it's all my fault for not paying attention for a moment, giving that woman an opportunity."

Ning Lang sighed softly, "It's impossible to guard against, so I can't blame you. After Lin Hui'er became pregnant with Sheng Yu's child, she completely tore off her previous 'Sister Lin' disguise. Now that she doesn't need to pretend anymore, she can do whatever she wants."

Sheng Xuan glanced at the two cars parked together. His van and her SUV were both large vehicles, making them very conspicuous when placed together.

"Should I take you to get your injury checked, or should I take you home first?"

"No, I've changed my mind." Ning Lang said calmly, "That nutritionist just wanted to fawn over Lin Huier and scare her a little. If Lin Huier wants to play, I'll play a few rounds with her. Anyway, I happen to have nothing to do these days, and it's not good to be too idle."

Upon hearing this, Sheng Xuan's eyes lit up, and she smiled, revealing a set of bright white teeth.

"Suppressing our anger isn't our true nature. Everyone knows you! Come on, I'll go with you."

"No need." Ning Lang smiled slightly. "There's no need for such trouble. Just use your fingertips."

...

More than half an hour later, an entertainment news story topped the headlines in Rongcheng.

—"Lin Daiyu became pregnant out of wedlock, and the identity of the child's father remains a mystery."

The news also included several photos as evidence. In the first photo, Lin Huier was holding her waist, wearing loose maternity clothes, and her lower abdomen appeared to be protruding. She was being helped out of the "obstetrics and gynecology" department.
