Shen Yanxi placed one hand on her chin, pretending to think.
After waiting a few minutes, He Lingchuan finally received her response: "That depends on whether Mingyan accepts it or not."
Ultimately, she just wanted to get justice for Zhou Mingyan.
But I clearly didn't do anything.
He Lingchuan stood there, staring blankly at her.
Shen Yanxi felt a bit uneasy under He Lingchuan's gaze, and she slowly grew impatient: "Do you need my help or not? If you want my help, hurry up, otherwise leave."
"I apologize."
He Lingchuan walked up to Zhou Mingyan and bowed deeply, his waist bent at a ninety-degree angle, his eyes fixed on his toes. He vowed to avenge today's humiliation.
"sorry."
He Lingchuan's voice was hoarse and trembling, as if he were very aggrieved.
"Your apology lacks sincerity."
Zhou Mingyan sat up, looking at the top of his head: "If you hadn't scared the children, why would Xixi and I have taken them away in the middle of the night? I wouldn't have twisted my ankle."
"So what do you want? Do you want me to injure my own foot on purpose?"
He Lingchuan looked at him with displeasure, while Zhou Mingyan's eyes lit up, as if he really meant it.
When everyone fell silent, Zhou Mingyan looked at Shen Yanxi and asked, "Xixi, what do you think?"
"A sprained ankle is fine, it'll only cause delays. I'll need to find someone to take care of him."
Shen Yanxi patted Zhou Mingyan's hand: "But you can tell him what you want to do, just let him do it."
When Shen Yanxi rejected Zhou Mingyan, He Lingchuan was suddenly moved. He was willing to believe that Shen Yanxi felt sorry for him at that moment.
He thought he didn't hold such a low position in Shen Yanxi's heart, until she asked him to meet Zhou Mingyan's demands.
What do you want?
He Lingchuan gritted his teeth, thinking that anyone could have done these things.
They clearly wanted to humiliate themselves.
Zhou Mingyan looked somewhat uncomfortable and dissatisfied, as he thought Shen Yanxi would break He Lingchuan's leg.
He never expected her to protect He Lingchuan. His hand, hidden under the blanket, gripped the sheets, his eyes filled with jealousy.
Shen Yanxi didn't feel sorry for him enough. If she really felt sorry for him, she should retaliate in kind.
"Since Xixi has spoken, then go buy me a cup of milk tea. I suddenly feel like having one."
He Lingchuan looked up at his foot, which was in a cast: "You can't drink milk tea when you're sick."
Why do you talk so much?
Shen Yanxi frowned, reached out and waved at him: "Just go when I tell you to, and hurry up."
He Lingchuan's brows furrowed deeper and deeper, but for Zhou Tao's business, he still did as he was told.
Before leaving the ward, He Lingchuan saw a barely perceptible smug look flash in Zhou Mingyan's eyes.
Having bought the milk tea Zhou Mingyan wanted as requested, He Lingchuan was already panting heavily: "Look at this..."
"What is this? It tastes awful."
Zhou Mingyan took the milk tea, took only one sip, and threw it on the ground, spilling the liquid all over the floor. The aroma of tea wafted over, and He Lingchuan couldn't help but sneeze a few times.
"How come you can't even do this simple thing right?"
Shen Yanxi glared at him, then got up and put on her coat: "You wait here for me to come back."
He Lingchuan remained silent and found a seat to sit down after Shen Yanxi left.
She couldn't possibly take care of Zhou Mingyan, much less show him the concern and care that Shen Yanxi did, and the atmosphere between the two of them became increasingly awkward.
"You've really had a hard day."
Zhou Mingyan, unusually, refrained from using harsh words: "Stay for dinner tonight, as a way of thanking you for coming to see me."
"No."
Who knows what he's up to? He Lingchuan just wants to get Shen Yanxi's reply as soon as possible.
He closed his eyes, waiting for Shen Yanxi to return.
Zhou Mingyan sneered at his appearance, but He Lingchuan pretended not to hear it. He didn't want to have any conflict with this man right now.
If Shen Yanxi saw him, he would be in deep trouble no matter what. He couldn't afford to offend her, so he simply avoided her.
Twenty minutes later, Shen Yanxi pushed open the door, holding two cups of milk tea in her hands.
She thoughtfully inserted a straw into Zhou Mingyan's drink: "How about you try this?"
She placed another glass on Zhou Mingyan's table: "How about you drink the other glass after you finish this one?"
Shen Yanxi looks like she's coaxing a child.
He Lingchuan looked at his empty hands; since he came in, Shen Yanxi hadn't even given him a glass of water.
He remained silent, simply watching Zhou Mingyan drink his milk tea.
After Zhou Mingyan finished drinking, He Lingchuan planned to ask Zhou Tao about it again.
He was about to speak when Zhou Mingyan interrupted him: "I just invited Mr. He to stay for dinner, but he didn't seem too happy about it."
"I don't need it..."
“Stay here. Mingyan has already spoken, you should give him face.”
He Lingchuan instinctively wanted to refuse, but thinking of Zhou Tao, he still looked at Shen Yanxi and nodded.
The moment he agreed to let Shen Yanxi stay for dinner, the lines around Zhou Mingyan's eyes deepened, and his smile grew wider.
...
He Lingchuan originally thought that eating was just ordering takeout.
He never expected that it would be Shen Yanxi who cooked for them.
The luxury ward has everything you need, and even the items in the refrigerator are prepared in advance by an assistant.
He Lingchuan watched Shen Yanxi clumsily selecting and cooking vegetables, his face turning ashen.
"You're going to cook for him?"
When they were at home, they always cooked for themselves and took care of them.
This was the first time He Lingchuan had ever seen Shen Yanxi cook.
"If I don't do it, are you the one who should?"
Shen Yanxi spoke naturally, not thinking there was anything wrong with the matter.
"You've never even cooked for the child, yet you gave him..."
"He Lingchuan, are you ever going to stop? Mingyan is sick, what's wrong with me cooking him a meal?"
Is this for cooking a meal?
Looking at Shen Yanxi's skillful movements, He Lingchuan suddenly wanted to ask her if she really only did it once.
Shen Yanxi had never cooked before; she didn't even know how to turn on the gas when she was in the kitchen. But now she can cook a dish from start to finish.
Although the taste and color are not very good, at least it is edible.
He Lingchuan sat at the table, feeling uneasy.
Zhou Mingyan picked up his chopsticks and ate heartily, praising Shen Yanxi as he ate: "Xixi, your cooking is so delicious, I think it's even better than restaurants outside."
"If you like, I'll make it for you often."
Shen Yanxi smiled, and as she spoke, she didn't forget to tuck the stray hairs from his forehead behind his ear. Her eyes were so gentle they seemed to overflow with tenderness.
He Lingchuan didn't enjoy the meal much, and even as he left, the image of Shen Yanxi cooking remained in his mind.
He pushed open the door and heard Shen Yanxi calling him from behind: "Wait a minute, take the children back."
Shen Yanxi handed the children's things to him: "This is a hospital after all. Staying here all the time is not good for your health. You should take the children back first."
After saying that, she added a few more words of advice, still worried: "Take good care of them, and don't scare them anymore."
