When Chu Xing returned, Song Mai was already asleep, and he sighed helplessly.

After covering Song Mai with a blanket, he quietly went about his work.

When Song Mai woke up, he saw the faint light from the computer screen shining on his face.

With a worried look in her bright eyes and sharp eyebrows, she was intently staring at the computer, completely unaware that Song Mai was secretly watching her.

It's so beautiful...

Chu Xing turned his head and saw Song Mai staring at him with her big, watery eyes, not blinking.

Her eyes seemed to hold the stars and the sea, sparkling with countless points of light.

"woke up?"

Chu Xing put down his computer, his fingertips wearily rubbing his temples.

First, they checked on Songmai's IV drip, and then thoughtfully handed her a glass of water.

Gently support her back and pull her into your arms.

After taking a few sips of water, Song Mai's already hoarse voice became a little clearer as she asked in a low voice, "What time is it now?"

Chu Xing glanced at the time: "4:30."

Unexpectedly, Song Mai rubbed her eyes and turned to look at the curtains.

The hospital curtains didn't block out the light very well, allowing a faint glimpse of light from outside.

"Could you take me for a walk downstairs?"

Song Mai rarely feels this relaxed, and has never experienced the fresh air at 4:30 in the morning.

Chu Xing frowned, about to refuse, but then he saw her looking at him with a pitiful expression and pleading.

He eventually softened and nodded, saying, "Okay."

Before leaving the house, he thoughtfully covered Song Mai with a blanket, and then pushed her wheelchair out.

There were few people around at this time. Song Mai took a deep breath and said generously, "I almost never felt this fresh air again."

Before he could finish speaking, he was hit hard on the head.

She instinctively covered her mouth, glaring at him angrily: "Why did you hit me?"

Chu Xing withdrew his fingertips and continued to push her forward: "Don't say discouraging things."

Song Maiman retorted indignantly, "How can this be called discouraging talk? It's clearly the truth..."

explain.

Before he could finish the last word, the wheelchair suddenly stopped.

Sensing that Chu Xing was extremely displeased, she carefully kept quiet.

"Stop saying discouraging things."

Chu Xing repeated himself calmly, but the oppressive aura emanating from him was enough to make Song Mai dare not mention it again.

She subconsciously shrugged her shoulders, pursed her lips, and stopped speaking.

Chu Xing had no intention of letting her go. He hooked her chin with one hand and kissed her before she could react.

His kiss was deep and not frivolous, domineering yet tenderly invading her territory.

"cough."

An untimely cough interrupted their actions. Song Mai pushed Chu Xing away in a panic and immediately turned her head away.

Chu Xing, interrupted, flashed annoyance in his eyes and gave a warning glance to Jiang Jibai, the culprit, not far away.

Jiang Jibai smiled sheepishly and said, "I'm sorry, I found you were missing when I came to check on the patients this morning. I thought you were in danger."

He understood how important Song Mai was to Chu Xing, and now that he had been assigned by Chu Xing to take care of Song Mai, he naturally couldn't be careless.

Chu Xing gave a cold "hmm," indicating that he already knew.

Song Mai reached out and tugged at his sleeve, indicating that he shouldn't be so rude.

Although they are friends, they came all the way from afar to help.

At noon, Song Mai received news that the red-haired man and his men had all been captured.

Zheng Yao disguised herself as a victim of imprisonment, and because she completely distanced herself from the situation, the police had no way to deal with her and simply let her go.

Song Mai was not surprised by this news.

After all, Zheng Yao was extremely cunning, and she had always managed to absolve herself of all responsibility in every previous incident.

Chu Xing was naturally dissatisfied with this outcome. Zheng Yao's actions had driven Song Mai to a dead end, and the consequences would be unimaginable.

While Song Mai wasn't looking, he called his assistant and said he was going to teach Zheng Yao a lesson.

Assistant Lu knew his boss well and did it without hesitation.

In the following days, Song Mai was still unable to focus on recovering from her injury, concentrating on handling company matters and completely ignoring her injury.

Chu Xing looked at Song Mai's tired expression through the window in the door and pursed his thin lips.

That evening, Ji Fenghe called, and Song Mai cautiously glanced at Chu Xing, who was working on the sofa.

Chu Xing already harbored resentment towards Ji Feng because of the hot spring incident.

We must be extra careful this time and avoid any mistakes.

"Manager Ji."

"I heard you've been following up on the project these past few days. After all, your health is more important; you can put the project aside for now."

A single, unexpected sentence left Song Mai feeling empty inside, and her expression gradually became tense.

"Manager Ji, this won't affect my work."

There's no need to pull yourself out of the project team just because you're injured. This project is the result of Song Mai's hard work, and it's almost over. She absolutely can't let all her efforts go to waste.

Ji Fenghe, perhaps realizing something, subconsciously smiled and said, "Don't be nervous. The project deadline has been extended, so you can focus on recovering first and then fully dedicate yourself to your work when you come back."

Song Mai breathed a sigh of relief and nodded, saying, "I see. Thank you, Manager Ji."

Ji Feng raised an eyebrow, it seemed that Song Mai mistakenly thought she had secured an extension of the deadline.

For some reason, the higher-ups have given an order that the project should not be rushed for the time being.

This would never have happened in the past. Yunxing Group has always been a firm and uncompromising company, so this really tests the professional qualities of its employees.

However, he also had his own selfish motives, which were difficult to explain in the first place, so he simply gave a perfunctory reply.

After hanging up the phone, Song Mai turned to Chu Xing with delight and said with a smile, "I didn't expect the project could be postponed. It seems I should find some time to properly thank Manager Ji."

She was still immersed in her own joy, completely unaware that the smile on Chu Xing's face vanished the moment he heard her next sentence.

Ji Feng and this kid are really not simple, and his sense of crisis immediately arose.

However, he couldn't show too much emotion in front of Song Mai, so he put down his computer and said, "In that case, just focus on recovering and go back in a few days."

"It takes a hundred days to recover from a broken bone," Song Mai thought, looking at the luxurious hospital room. The thought of actually having to stay there for a hundred days made her feel sorry for herself.

On the third day, he couldn't help but discuss returning to Nandu with Chu Xing.

Although Chu Xing couldn't bear to see Song Mai suffer, he couldn't go against her wishes.

The moment she landed, Song Mai finally felt completely at ease.

Her health condition is not good right now, and she needs to stay in the hospital for observation for a period of time.

This time, however, they did not choose the expensive single room, but instead opted for a regular double room.

Chu Xing frowned the moment he saw the ward environment.
