"I didn't expect Grandpa Ye to be so well-informed, finding out you were in the hospital so quickly."

Watching Ye Nanqing put away his phone, Ji Fuling couldn't help but sigh.

They had been at the hospital for less than two hours when Grandpa Ye called.

Ye Nanqing glanced at her. "Most of the hospitals in Yuncheng have investments from the Ye family, so it's not surprising that the old man has a few informants."

Hearing this, Ji Fuling looked suspicious. "Then when Tian Tian had an allergic reaction last time, you came to the hospital too, so why didn't Grandpa Ye react?"

Ye Nanqing explained unhurriedly, "I am here, but I am not the one with the problem, so those people naturally won't bother to report to the old man."

"So that's how it is..."

Ji Fuling nodded in understanding.

Ye Nanqing looked at her with his dark eyes, "That's why I said I wasn't coming."

The old man knows one thing, but the main problem is that some treacherous people will seize the opportunity to do something sneaky and disgusting behind people's backs.

So he would rather not go to the hospital than be disgusted.

Ji Fuling frowned as she listened, her gaze sweeping over his bandaged right leg. She said seriously, "If it were just a superficial injury, you wouldn't have to come. But your leg is injured like this, how can you say such willful things?"

"If we don't come to the hospital, how will we know the extent of the injury? How will we receive appropriate treatment?"

"Dr. Gu also said that fortunately, the muscle and nerve damage was recent, and there is still a possibility of recovery. If it had been delayed any longer, the chances of recovery would have decreased!"

One of the men, feeling a little guilty, fell silent for a moment.

Seeing that he was pursing his lips and not saying anything, Ji Fuling assumed he was thirsty. "Would you like some water? I'll pour you a glass."

As she spoke, she got up and went to the water dispenser next to her to get a glass of water.

Ye Nanqing reached out and took it, drinking a few sips under Ji Fuling's watchful gaze.

The water was warm, and the ironing warmed his heart as well.

After he finished drinking the water, Ji Fuling saw fresh fruit on the table next to him and asked, "Are you hungry? Let me peel some fruit for you. Do you prefer an apple or a pear?"

Gu Liao said she would take good care of him and keep him in a good mood, so she would try her best to care for him, hoping it would help his recovery.

However, just as she was about to turn around to get the fruit, her wrist was grabbed by a large hand.

Immediately afterwards, she was pulled onto the bed by a force.

Coming to her senses, Ji Fuling looked at the man gripping her wrist with a puzzled expression. "Why are you pulling me? The fruit isn't ready yet..."

"I don't eat fruit."

Ye Nanqing interrupted her, his dark eyes fixed intently on her.

Ji Fuling blinked. "What do you want to eat? I'll go buy it for you."

"I think……"

Without warning, Ye Nanqing leaned closer to her, his hand that was gripping her wrist suddenly tightening around her waist, pulling her into his arms.

Ji Fuling was stunned for a moment, her eyes widening suddenly as she stared in astonishment at the man's handsome face so close to hers, her heart suddenly racing uncontrollably.

At such close range, the man's warm breath fell on her neck, making her ears turn slightly red.

She tried her best to remain calm, but still stammered as she spoke, "What...what are you going to do now?"

"You asked me what I want to eat, so I'll tell you the answer now."

Ye Nanqing's eyes were deep and his voice was low and ambiguous.

Before Ji Fuling could react to the meaning of his words, her hands were suddenly restrained by him.

The next second, her slightly parted lips were kissed, and the man's strong hormonal scent swept over her.

"Hmm..."

Ji Fuling's mind went blank for a moment. When she came to her senses, she realized that she had unconsciously hooked her arms around the man's neck.

Instead of resisting, she allowed him to act recklessly.

Her cheeks burned, and she wanted to push the man away, but the kiss left her powerless and unable to struggle.

Ye Nanqing raised his hand and stroked the back of her head, his slender fingers running through her hair as he kissed her more deeply.

A passionate and tender embrace.

"Um……"

Ji Fuling looked like a drowning person; her hands were clearly very weak, yet she still clung tightly to the man's shoulders, and a soft moan unconsciously escaped her lips, making one blush.

Ye Nanqing's gaze was deep as he looked down at the woman's flushed face. His thin lips parted from hers and moved down her chin little by little.

"don't want……"

Ji Fuling blushed and dodged, her hand that was originally on his shoulder sliding down, her palm resting on his firm chest.

Ye Nanqing gently kissed her fair neck, his deep voice tinged with a hint of huskiness, making it even more magnetic and alluring, "Be good, don't move."

Ji Fuling's dazed eyes cleared a little, and she glared at him with a flushed face, "Are you crazy? Your leg was just injured, and you're still acting like this!!"

Ye Nanqing pulled her hands away as she tried to resist, his magnetic voice coaxing her softly, "That's why I told you not to move around. If you behave, it won't make a difference."

Ji Fuling: "..."

What kind of logic is this?

If his injuries worsen, should he blame her for not cooperating?!

As she remained silent, the man kissed her again, his delicate kisses landing on her neck, his restless hands reaching under her hem.

Ji Fuling was startled and quickly grabbed his hand, saying in a panic, "No! Ye Nanqing, stop..."

She wasn't particularly opposed to his intimacy, but that didn't mean she would casually do that kind of thing with him...

A deep, dark look surged in Ye Nanqing's eyes as he stared intently at the woman in front of him. Just as he was about to ask what she wanted, someone suddenly knocked on the door.

"Knock knock—"

The sudden sound made Ji Fuling tense up instantly.

She pushed Ye Nanqing in a panic, "Let go of me! Someone's coming!"

Ye Nanqing frowned, his displeasure clearly visible in his eyes.

Despite Ji Fuling's struggles, he reluctantly released her, uttering a cold word, "Who?"

Even through the door, Chen Heng could clearly feel the oppressive atmosphere at their nightclub.

He swallowed hard and replied cautiously, "Mr. Ye, it's me. I have results regarding the matter you asked me to investigate."

Ji Fuling quickly straightened her disheveled clothes and sat properly on the edge of the bed.

If you ignore the lingering redness on her face, you can hardly tell anything is wrong.

Ye Nanqing also leaned back on the headboard, perfectly concealing the emotions in his eyes, and instantly regained his usual cold and aloof expression.

He glanced at the door and said in a deep voice, "Come in."

Chen Heng then pushed open the door and entered, stopping a few steps away from the hospital bed. He nodded respectfully and said, "Mr. Ye, we have already taken the driver of that car into custody."

"However, he veered off the lane because he was driving under the influence of alcohol, not because he was instructed by someone. What do you think... how should this be handled?"

Do I need to teach you this?

Ye Nanqing's face was expressionless, and his tone was cold, "I asked you to investigate so that you could find out if he has anyone backing him. If he does, deal with them as well; if not, deal with him directly."

"If you ask such a stupid question again, get lost!"

Chen Heng's forehead was covered in cold sweat, and he repeatedly replied, "Understood, understood, I know what to do, I'll go and handle it right away."

After saying that, he didn't dare stay a second longer and quickly turned around and left the room.
