Chapter 3 Chapter 3 Her name is Lin Mo.
With a slight click, the water dispenser switch was roughly closed.
When Lu Yanxiao turned around again, Lin Mo clearly noticed that his deep eyes had cooled down a bit, and the indifference between his brows was gone, leaving only sharpness. He did not drink the water he had received, but put it directly on the table. Then, he took a few tissues and wiped the water stains on his hands.
Lin Mo was worried, thinking that she had delayed the other person for too long and made him unhappy.
I then explained, "I'm sorry to have taken up so much of your time, Mr. Lu. You might not be able to get a call back from the airport for a while, so I'll leave it to you. How about this? I'll add you on WeChat from my computer. If the airport staff calls, please let me know via WeChat."
Lu Yanxiao glanced at her indifferently, walked over and threw the paper ball into the trash can: "I'm busy, I don't have time to help you answer any calls."
The refusal was simple and straightforward.
Lin Mo was annoyed. As a stranger, he had already done his best to send her to the hospital, pay for the medical expenses and hospitalization fees, and register her. There was no reason for her to force him to do anything more.
"Then give me your hand—ah!"
Lin Mo had tried to move the computer off her lap to get her phone, but in her haste, she accidentally tugged on the needle in her left hand, causing her to groan in pain. When she turned to check the needle's location, she felt a sudden lightness on her leg; the computer had been taken away.
The scent of wood agarwood approached, and the man's deep voice rang out, "Is the needle running?"
Lin Mo was surprised, not knowing if it was her illusion. She felt that there was a hint of concern in the man's voice. But then she felt that it was unlikely and she must have heard it wrong.
Seeing the other person's eyes fixed on her hand, Lin Mo felt embarrassed: "Probably not, no..."
He was slapped in the face before he could finish his words.
The pain at the place where the needle was inserted on the back of the hand suddenly intensified, accompanied by a numb feeling of swelling. A lump of soft flesh with a bluish and reddish color swelled up around the needle hole. It was visible to the naked eye that the needle had indeed slipped.
Lu Yanxiao looked up at her with an ambiguous expression, then raised his wrist and pressed the call bell on the bedside.
"I'm sorry." Lin Mo apologized subconsciously, causing trouble for others again.
Lu Yanxiao lowered his eyes, regaining his previous relaxed demeanor. A hint of scorn flashed across the corner of his lips. "You're the one who's in pain. What's there to apologize for?"
In a moment, the nurse came over.
The nurse came in with a man who looked to be in his late twenties, tall, pale, and thin. He wore silver-rimmed glasses and looked gentle and refined. He came in carrying two food boxes, the packaging of which bore the logo of a porridge shop.
"Boss, I've got the meal."
It turned out to be Lu Yanxiao's subordinate. He reported to him, placed the food box on the square table against the wall, and left the room.
A rich, sweet and sticky aroma wafted out, and Lin Mo could clearly smell the aroma of pumpkin porridge.
I had stomach discomfort before, and even though I only ate sandwiches and milk all day, I didn't feel hungry. Now that I'm halfway through the infusion, the stomach pain has eased a lot. When I smelled the fragrance of food, I unconsciously swallowed physiologically, and my stomach growled twice.
"Hungry?"
The nurse, who was re-inserting her injection, heard it most clearly and said with a smile, "Your stomach senses hunger, which means it's healing, which is a good sign. Before you take your medicine later, be sure to eat something to fill your stomach. Don't take medicine on an empty stomach, okay?"
Lin Mo hummed weakly.
Because she was not sure whether the things brought in by her subordinates were hers, maybe they were bought for their boss.
"Hey sir, please be kind and help her open it first. Her stomach is growling with hunger." The nurse urged Lu Yanxiao without saying anything.
Lin Mo didn't dare to cause any more trouble for this young man, so she waved her hands repeatedly: "No, no, I'll buy the fluid myself after the infusion."
"What? You don't want to eat food given by strangers? Don't worry, it's not poisonous." Lu Yanxiao pushed the movable dining plate over and placed the lunch box on it, with a sarcastic tone in his words.
Lin Mo's attention had long been drawn to the food, so she didn't notice the awkwardness in the man's mood and just thought he was joking.
When all the dishes were neatly placed in front of her, Lin Mo's appetite was whetted.
I just smelled the fragrance of pumpkin porridge, but I didn’t expect the accompanying side dishes to be so rich, each in a small plate or dish, a total of seven kinds, all with good color, aroma and taste.
Before eating, Lin Mo put on a harmless smile and asked Lu Yanxiao again with sincerity, "Mr. Lu, did you really buy it for me?"
Lu Yanxiao said calmly: "The doctor told me to do that."
"Oh, thank you, you're such a kind person. Once I get the phone, I'll transfer the meal money and the advance payment to you."
The girl's bright eyes seemed to be filled with stars, and her smile seemed to give birth to a white feather, sweeping lightly across people's hearts. Lu Yanxiao's lips twitched, and he had long thrown away the resentment he had at the beginning.
Oh, no matter whether she gets married or not, the first thing that matters is that she has found the right person.
Suddenly, the phone on the table vibrated and the screen flashed with light.
Thinking it was the airport staff calling, Lin Mo turned around excitedly, but saw the words "old man" displayed on the screen. She looked away in disappointment and continued to eat.
Lu Yanxiao picked up the phone and pressed the mute button without hesitation. He let the "old man" call him three times in a row but he didn't answer.
Lin Mo never had the habit of prying into other people's affairs, so she continued eating as if it was none of her business.
The subordinate wearing silver-rimmed glasses walked in again, his brows full of anxiety. After hesitating for a few seconds, he spoke carefully: "Boss, it's almost time. The old man is furious, and Uncle Zhang called me to urge me to go back. If I don't go back now, I'm afraid..."
Lu Yanxiao frowned, his eyes were filled with resentment, and he looked like he was about to explode.
"Boss, look..." As he was speaking, his subordinate's cell phone rang again, interrupting Lu Yanxiao's rage that hadn't been expressed yet.
There was a heavy breathing beside her, full of impatience. Lin Mo raised her eyes, only to find Lu Yanxiao looking at her, hesitant to speak, as if he was brewing something.
Lin Mo's heart was shaken, fearing that she would be affected. She said sweetly, "Mr. Lu, I've thought about it. Actually, I don't need your phone. I can borrow it from the nurse right now and call the airport."
Lin Mo said this and was about to press the call button on the bedside.
Just as he stretched out his hand halfway, someone blocked him and thrust the phone in his direction. Lu Yanxiao's cold voice rang out, "Keep the phone for now. Return it to me when you're done."
Lin Mo was surprised for a second, then took it nervously: "Thank you, what if someone calls you?"
"Ignore the message, the call—"
Lu Yanxiao paused and gestured to his subordinate, who immediately pulled out another phone from his bag and handed it to him. Lu Yanxiao switched to the WeChat friend-adding interface and said in a deep voice, "You don't have to answer the calls, but you must tell me every single one."
"Every one?"
Lu Yanxiao raised his eyebrows slightly: "Not willing?"
"No problem, I will tell you everything without missing a single one." Lin Mo took Lu Yanxiao's other mobile phone, placed it on the dining board, entered her WeChat account, and lightly clicked the "Add to Contacts" icon.
After Lu Yanxiao and his subordinates left, the oppressive tension in the room instantly dissipated.
Lin Mo relaxed, turned on her computer, accepted Lu Yanxiao's "friend request," and then leisurely finished the rest of her meal. Satisfied, she pushed her plate aside and glanced at the IV drip above her, which was almost empty.
The nurse arrived in time and brought in a little gadget.
Lin Mo's eyes lit up: "Intelligent medical robot?"
She had seen this kind of intelligent robot at a science and technology exhibition when she was in school, and had also played with it herself. However, she paid less attention to it after she started working. She never expected that it has now been put into use in hospitals.
Lin Mo felt itchy inside, as if she had discovered a new treasure: "Sister, what is the main function of this? Which company made it? Is it used a lot in hospitals now?"
The nurse was amused by Lin Mo's curious look about the baby. She changed the medicine bottle, picked up the syringe and inserted one end of it into the slot of the machine.
"Well, that's what it's for. The injection of this last bottle of medicine will be a little painful. Using it in winter can keep the temperature constant, so the liquid won't be so cold, which can slightly relieve the pain."
"Oh, it seems it's not that cold anymore."
The machine was white in color, with its functional parts glowing blue. Lin Mo examined it carefully. Her job required her to tear it apart and take a look. Of course, it was just a thought. "Can I take a picture of it?"
The nurse shrugged. "Just take some photos. If you post them on WeChat Moments or something, it can also help us get some publicity."
Lin Mo picked up the phone excitedly, and when the screen lit up, she suddenly realized that this was Lu Yanxiao's phone. It would be impolite to accidentally see someone else's photo album. She pursed her lips in disappointment and gave up.
However, just as she was about to put the phone down, it rang and she accidentally touched the answer button.
"Lu Yanxiao, you are not a human!"
A high-spirited male voice roared over from the other end, "I'm going to break off all ties with you!"
Lin Mo glanced at the screen and saw the name "Yu Ke".
"Come on, you're so mean. You left me at the airport in such a cold weather and left by yourself. It's so hard to get a taxi, don't you know? Ahem, you have to pay for my medical expenses, ahem—"
The voice seemed familiar, and Lin Mo was startled, as if she had heard it outside the airport.
Soon, she figured out what had happened.
At that time, she asked Lu Yanxiao for help. Lu Yanxiao anxiously asked the driver to take her to the hospital. As a result, he left his friend named "Yu Ke" at the airport. It was freezing cold and it was difficult for his friend to get a taxi, so he caught a cold.
Lin Mosheng felt guilty, hoping that her two friends would break off their friendship because of her.
"Hello, he's not with this phone right now. You can call his other phone."
A gentle female voice came from the receiver. Yu Ke was startled and immediately went into alert mode: "Who are you? How did you answer Lu Yanxiao's call? He is with you now? Let him answer right now!"
"My name is Lin Mo. I lost my phone, so he lent me his temporarily."
Yu Ke couldn't believe his ears. A man like Lu Yanxiao would just give his phone to any woman. Was he kidding me? Wait, Yu Ke in the taxi suddenly sat up straight.
"What did you say your name was?"
"My name is Lin Mo. I'm so sorry. He might have accidentally left you behind because he was in a hurry to take me to the hospital. Can you please stop arguing with him? I apologize."
"Are you the girl from the airport?"
"yes."
"You, lost your phone? Lu Yanxiao lent you his phone?"
"Yes, I really didn't lie to you. You can call him on another number to confirm."
Yu Ke was convinced he had uncovered something truly remarkable, and even the rage that was gushing out of him was nothing to him. He suppressed his excitement and said in a serious tone, "Lin Mo, right? Wait, I'll call him and ask him."

The sky gradually darkened and the snow continued to fall. The Rolls-Royce cut through the snowy night, flashing a dazzling light.
Inside the car, Lu Yanxiao stared intently at the words "Lin Mo" on his phone screen, his fingertips gently caressing them as if they were a precious treasure. It turned out her name was Lin Mo. After her friend request was approved, he couldn't wait to change his nickname.
Lin Mo.
Lin Mo.
What a nice name! He finally knew that her name was Lin Mo.
Assistant Wang Qian, who was driving, was startled and thought he had seen it wrong. He tilted his neck to look at the rearview mirror again, and was sure that his boss was really grinning silently at the phone screen.
Buzz—buzz—
The sudden ringing of a cell phone disturbed the silence in the car, and Lu Yanxiao frowned in displeasure.
"Lu Yanxiao, you're doing human harm! You made me..." Yu Ke just started, but Lu Yanxiao hung up mercilessly.
Yu Ke was about to explode with rage. He sneered, took a photo, and sent it to Lu Yanxiao with the caption: [I found Lin Mo's phone. Should I give it to her now?]
He is such a smart man. He returned the phone to its original owner. There is no such thing as "borrowing a phone" at all.
As he expected, Lu Yanxiao called him immediately.
Without waiting for Lu Yanxiao to say anything, Yu Ke unleashed a barrage of criticism, "Lu Yanxiao, Boss Xiao, yes, you're the boss, but we've been friends for so many years, so we're both bosses and brothers. You're so embarrassed! In this freezing weather, I picked up my phone and ran after your car for 800 meters, and you didn't even stop. Let me tell you..."
Lu Yanxiao endured it quietly. When the other party had almost vented his anger, he said lightly, "Are you done cursing?"
"Well, it's over."
"Don't return the phone yet." Lu Yanxiao said succinctly, "Call the airport service center first."
Yu Ke was amused. What a jerk! He didn't want to return the phone to the girl, but he also didn't want to make her anxious. He couldn't wait to see who this girl was. "Okay, I'll return it whenever you say I will."
After saying that, Yu Ke thought of something: "Is the cooperation between Beijing and North still necessary?"
Lu Yanxiao chuckled: "Let's stop it."
The person has been found, why do you keep running to northern Beijing?
Wang Qian didn't understand the twists and turns involved. When he heard his boss suddenly say that he would no longer cooperate with Jingbei, he was still in shock when he heard his boss say to him again.
"Wang Qian, find out as soon as possible who she is marrying? When is the wedding date?"
