Xu Tingchuan took out his phone and saw that it was Ni Sitian calling. He immediately went to the hallway to answer the call.

Ni Sitian's cheerful voice rang out from the phone: "Tingchuan, the producer said today that filming is going very smoothly, and I might be able to go back early in another week!"

"Really? That's wonderful." Xu Tingchuan was infected by the joy in her voice, and his mood improved considerably.

"Yeah, during the meeting today, the director said that the main plot of the script shouldn't need any more changes, but he wanted me to stay and occasionally revise some details." Ni Sitian hugged her pillow, leaned against the bed, and excitedly talked about the interesting things she encountered during filming.

Xu Tingchuan listened quietly, a gentle smile on his face the whole time.

After Ni Sitian chattered on and on, she felt that Xu Tingchuan seemed a bit too quiet, so she asked, "Are you working right now? Did I disturb you?"

“No, I like listening to you talk,” Xu Tingchuan said softly.

He was truly grateful that he and Ni Sitian could love each other so much, unlike his parents, who were burdened with lifelong debts and indifferent to each other, leading their marriage to such a state of mutual respect as mere 'guests'.

"Why are you suddenly being so mushy?" Ni Sitian said shyly, a sweet smile playing on her lips.

"Come back soon, I'm not used to sleeping alone." Xu Tingchuan liked to hear her shy voice, and he could almost picture her blushing in front of him.

"Mmm." Ni Sitian blushed, turned around and buried her head in the pillow, responding shyly.

Actually, it wasn't just him who wasn't used to sleeping alone; she felt the same way. It had only been ten days since they separated, and she already missed his embrace so much. Last night, she even had a wet dream in the middle of the night. He must have corrupted her!

"It's late, you should get some rest." Xu Tingchuan had a call coming in, so he smiled and said goodnight to Ni Sitian.

"Then you should rest early too, don't work too late. I'm easy to take care of, you don't need to work hard to earn a lot of money," Ni Sitian said earnestly.

"Okay, I understand. Good night."

"Goodnight, goodnight." Ni Sitian hung up the phone, hugged her pillow, rolled around on the bed, and buried herself in it.

Meanwhile, Xu Tingchuan answered the interrupted call, his smile vanishing and replaced by a serious expression: "There's already some activity?"

"Yes, he has already made contact over there," Assistant Xu reported.

"Now that the fish are in the net, let's start pulling it in. There's a tough battle ahead tomorrow, so get the public relations department on their toes," Xu Tingchuan said.

"Yes," Assistant Xu smiled.

Xu Tingchuan put away his phone, glanced at the time (it was already 10 o'clock), then walked out of the building and back to the ward door.

Seeing that Jiayue was still by the bedside, he gently pushed the door open and went in, saying in a low voice, "It's late, you should go back and rest."

Xu Jiayue shook her head and said, "I want Mom to see me as soon as she opens her eyes, and I want to apologize to her immediately."

She regretted being so stupid. Even though Jin Rulan admitted it was all her fault, she should have thought more about it. After more than twenty years of being mother and daughter, how could she not trust Jin Rulan's character?

“Actually, I should have said that to her more than you did,” Xu Tingchuan said in a low voice.

Xu Jiayue sniffed and said in a hoarse voice, "Brother, you should go back. Your company must be having a lot of trouble lately. I'll stay here with her and call you when she wakes up."

Xu Tingchuan looked down at Xu Jiayue. It turned out that even with all the misunderstandings, she was still his sister and still cared about him.

"Okay, be careful not to overwork yourself." Xu Tingchuan patted her head, stood for a while, and then turned and left.
