The plane from the imperial capital to Tailin City landed at the airport on time at eleven o'clock.
Su Yang picked up her luggage and just turned off the flight mode on her phone when a message from Zhuang Tong popped up. It was about work. She suddenly remembered that she was so worried about Rong Zhan that she forgot to tell Zhuang Tong that she wanted to cancel today's work.
After finishing the call with Zhuang Tong, Su Yang walked out of the airport and received another call from Qin Yu, who told her the hospital where Rong Zhan was.
At twelve o'clock, Su Yang came to the hospital dragging his suitcase.
As a journalist, she has always been aware that some marketing accounts like to exaggerate and add fuel to the fire, but she feels that they have minimum professional ethics and will at least report with the truth as the center.
But now, when she saw the man with a white bandage on his hand looking at her with a half-smile on his face, she looked embarrassed and angry. She really had the urge to tie up those marketing accounts and paparazzi and beat them up.
"Well, the young lady should not have had lunch yet, right? I'll go see if Mr. Rong's lunch is ready." Qin Yu stood aside, his eyes darting around, and he spoke at the right time to break the deadlock and take the opportunity to slip away.
Su Yang was upset. He never thought that one day he would be led by the nose by those marketing accounts.
"Why are you standing there? Come and sit down." Rong Zhan's eyes were filled with smiles, his back sunken into the back of the sofa.
Su Yang took a deep breath, put the luggage aside, walked over and scanned him wantonly: "Is your hand the only one injured?"
"You sound disappointed?"
"Those reports said you were dying. I thought I would be a widow less than a month after getting married and be accused of being a jinx." Su Yang secretly breathed a sigh of relief: "I called but your phone was turned off, and you didn't even take the initiative to send a message to let me know you were safe."
"The phone must be out of battery. I dealt with a lot of things last night and just had some free time."
He explained in a low, slightly hoarse voice, his cold eyes glaring at her beautiful face.
Glancing at the white bandage on his palm that was faintly soaked with blood, and the conspicuous red rope on his wrist, Su Yang pursed her red lips and asked, "What happened? Why did you get injured suddenly?"
"Nothing, just met a madman."
The cold eyes slowly sank, overflowing with sharpness and cruelty, and the icy tone was gently uttered from the thin lips, making people shudder.
Su Yang was silent for a while and did not ask any more questions. After all, with his personality and identity, it was normal for him to have enemies.
After a moment of silence, she took out her cell phone from her bag and started swiping left and right on it.
Rong Zhan narrowed his eyes, leaned his head over slightly, and asked casually: "What are you doing?"
"Buy a ticket."
After seeing the contents clearly, Rong Zhan frowned and reached out to grab the phone: "You just arrived, and you're thinking about going back?"
"Aren't you okay? Why should I stay here? I have a lot of work to do at the TV station." Su Yang glared at him unhappily and held out his hand: "Give me back my phone."
Rong Zhan subconsciously moved his hand holding the phone to the side, raised his eyebrows, and stretched out his injured hand in front of her: "Isn't the wound on my hand an injury? Why, do you look down on it?"
"Then you should take good care of your injuries."
Su Yang reached out to grab it, but Rong Zhan dodged cleverly. After a few moves, she suddenly found that half of her body was pressed on Rong Zhan, with one hand on his shoulder. The two of them were very close.
The afternoon sun refracted into the house through the gaps in the blinds, shining spots on the two of them. Su Yang lowered his eyes and looked at him. His black and white eyes clearly reflected his handsome face.
It seemed that the only sounds in the quiet room were their intertwined breathing and her own pounding heartbeat.
“Boom boom boom—”
Su Yang was stunned. Seeing Qin Yu's stunned expression, he withdrew his gaze in anger and saw Rong Zhan looking at him with a smug smile.
Su Yang glared at him in annoyance, moved away from him and sat down, raising her hand to smooth her hair in front of her forehead awkwardly.
"Mr. Rong, Madam, your lunch is ready." Qin Yu came back to his senses, hurried over, and placed the things he brought back on the table one by one.
"Thanks."
"Have you booked a hotel?"
Su Yang picked up the chopsticks and tasted the food, then shook his head: "Not yet."
Rong Zhan glanced at her profile, his eyes intentionally or unintentionally sweeping towards Qin Yu. After Qin Yu understood, he immediately nodded and said, "Then Mr. Rong and Madam can eat first. I'll go help Madam with the hotel check-in procedures."
"No, I'll be back in the afternoon..."
Before he could finish his words, he looked up and saw Qin Yu had already packed his suitcase and walked out the door.
For a moment, the room fell silent again. Su Yang retracted his gaze and looked at the phone in his hand. He opened his hand again and said, "Mobile phone."
"Eat your meal first. My phone is out of battery. I'll use your phone to call home."
Rong Zhan stood up, held the phone in front of her and gestured to unlock it.
Su Yang pursed her lips, obviously a little reluctant. Qin Yu had been following him all the time, and he didn't use his phone, but had to use hers. Wasn't this clearly an excuse? "Don't want to?" Seeing that she didn't respond, Rong Zhan asked in a low voice.
Su Yang was speechless and was forced to unlock the door with his fingerprint. He watched him walk to the side and call Rong Yuan to let him know he was safe.
Because of the widespread reports and the inability to contact Rong Zhan, Mrs. Rong was very anxious at home. Now that they received his call and knew that he was safe, Mrs. Rong and Yun Chuxian were relieved.
"Isn't this Yangyang's call? Ah Zhan, are you back in the capital?" Yun Chuxian on the other end of the phone also keenly noticed it, so he took the opportunity to ask: "Are you home now? I'll go over to see you."
"Mom, I'm still in Tailin City."
"That Yangyang..."
"Well, she's here." Rong Zhan raised the corners of his lips slightly, and looked sideways, just in time to meet Su Yang's calm and beautiful almond-shaped eyes.
Su Yang silently looked away and continued eating.
Yun Chuxian raised a gentle smile and said, "Yangyang must be worried too. Since you are okay, comfort her. When are you going to come back?"
"I had originally planned to come back in five days, but this incident should bring it forward. The specific date will depend on the schedule."
"Okay, you are injured now, so you should put your health first in everything you do. Don't overwork yourself, okay?"
"Yeah, I get it, Mom."
"By the way, who was the person who hurt you? Why did he hurt you?"
"The police took him away and are investigating." Rong Zhan glanced into the distance and spoke lightly.
