As Su Xiaoxiao walked out of the elevator with the lunchbox, she saw Nangong Yi holding Shan Jinxi's arm. After a few seconds of stunned silence, she immediately walked towards Nangong Yi, her eyes filled with worry.
"What happened?"
"nothing."
Seeing his wife's nervous expression, Nangong Yi knew she had misunderstood.
He stepped forward and took the lunchbox from her hand, explaining with a smile, "I ran into him just as I reached the ward door. I saw the two grandfathers chatting happily inside, so I didn't want them to be disturbed. Who knew..."
"Who knows what?"
Su Xiaoxiao always felt that Nangong Yi was lying, but seeing his sudden serious expression, she was not so sure.
She glanced cautiously at Shan Jinxi, and only when he nodded did she believe what Nangong Yi had said. At that moment, she gently tugged at the sleeve of the man in front of her and asked cautiously, "What were you doing just now?"
"you guess!"
Nangong Yi deliberately remained silent. He glanced back at Shan Jinxi, whose face was icy cold, and then whispered a few words in his wife's ear.
"Is it possible?" Su Xiaoxiao was skeptical, and her brows furrowed at this moment.
Seeing that Xi Yuankai had already delivered the meal box to the ward, Nangong Yi immediately handed over the meal box as well.
"Brother Shan, my Xiaoxiao said she disturbed Grandpa Su today, so she asked the family cook to make a medicinal and nutritious lunch. If you don't mind, you can have lunch with us."
"Um."
While Su Xiaoxiao was pondering what to say, Nangong Yi directly provided her with a good reason.
She nodded quickly, her eyes becoming tense as she looked at Shan Jinxi.
However, Shan Jinxi simply thanked them and did not accept their 'invitation'.
"There are still many things waiting for me to handle at the Su Group. I'm just here to check on Grandpa's health, so I won't stay at the hospital any longer."
"Aren't you going to eat lunch again?"
Su Xiaoxiao was very worried when she thought about his bad habits, which were similar to Nangong Yi's, and she became less careful in how she spoke.
As if he hadn't noticed anything, Shan Jinxi smiled at Su Xiaoxiao and said, "I appreciate the young mistress's kindness, but the situation at the Su Group has been quite complicated these past few days. In addition, there are cooperative dealings between the group and France, so I can't stay here any longer. I need to rush back to the company after I see my grandfather."
After saying that, he didn't give Su Xiaoxiao any more chances to stay and quickly walked towards the ward.
Nangong Yi gently embraced his wife, and when she frowned and was about to chase after him, the heartache in his eyes was also revealed.
"Silly boy, if you're not careful next time, you'll really be exposed."
Exposed?
Su Xiaoxiao was slightly taken aback, but when she saw Nangong Yi pointing at Shan Jinxi's back, she finally understood.
She quickly took a small step back and gently stuck out her tongue at the tolerant man beside her.
"Honey, did I give myself away just now?"
"He was busy dealing with the Su Group's affairs, and he came to the hospital simply to see Grandpa Su, so naturally he wouldn't have paid attention to the 'again' you mentioned!"
"I'm sorry!"
When Nangong Yi emphasized the word "again," Su Xiaoxiao knew that the man in front of her had fallen into his old habit again.
She quickly pulled his arm down and wrapped it around herself, her ingratiating smile becoming even more pronounced.
"I promise it won't happen again!" Su Xiaoxiao raised her little hand as if making a vow.
Nangong Yi nodded indulgently, but he knew it was impossible. Before his little wife revealed her identity to Shan Jinxi, such 'mistakes' would definitely happen again.
However, he didn't say it out loud!
