"Don't worry, how could I possibly abandon Zhao Xi? I 'picked up' you two back then, and she's alive and well now. Oh, by the way, I forgot to tell you, she's taken two days off, supposedly to attend an engagement party."
Ning Xue finished speaking so succinctly, and I felt completely sick...
I frowned and asked, "Engagement party? Whose?"
"Whose else? Of course it belongs to her." Ning Xue raised her pretty fingers and said while peeling an apple, "Maybe she will get married at the beginning of next month."
This blow was like a nuclear bomb exploding in my heart. I just lay on the bed, staring blankly at the snow-white ceiling, as if I were stupid.
Ning Xue seemed to see through my thoughts and said with a smile: "Hey, Xu Fei, I know you like Zhao Xi, but love is something that can't be forced. As my uncle said, if it is destined to happen, it will happen. If it is not destined to happen, don't force it."
I rolled my eyes and suddenly asked, "By the way, is your uncle okay?"
Ning Xue playfully clasped her fists towards me and said, "Thanks to your great blessing, my uncle is still alive."
"Oh shit, old lady? Am I really that old?" I took the apple she had just peeled and took two bites, but my expression darkened.
"Don't think too much, just focus on recovering. I will be with you in the hospital for the next few days." When she said this, I vaguely saw a faint blush on Ning Xue's pretty face.
I was surprised to see that Boss Ning could actually blush. I had never seen that before. But why was she blushing?
I frowned and said, "How can this be so embarrassing? Isn't Boss Ning going to work at the company?"
Ning Xue nodded and said, "Yes, I'll just go to sign in. I'll be back to take care of you most of the time. Besides, with something like this happening in the company right now, who would still be in the mood to go to work?"
I think so too. Huo Yan hasn't been eliminated yet, so no one knows if she will suddenly rush out and kill people. However, according to what Su Xiaoniu said at the time, Huo Yan has been severely damaged by the yang energy of Xiaoyangguandao. At least she won't come out to hurt people again for a while.
I also took advantage of this time to recuperate. Boss Ning was always by my side taking care of me. He took care of my daily washing face, brushing my teeth, and three meals a day, and even went to the toilet with me.
Three days later, I was discharged. My injuries weren't serious, but the doctors were making a fuss, insisting I stay in for a few days for observation. Otherwise, there's no telling what might happen to my injuries. And because of Ning Xue's concern, I stayed in the hospital for two more days.
At the time, I was really worried about my money. The hospital bill was really too high. But on the day I was discharged, I found out that Boss Ning had already paid for it for me...
I feel a little embarrassed to see Boss Ning. I am an old man, but I asked a woman to pay for me. Where can I put my face?
When Boss Ning came to pick me up from the hospital, I covered half my face and didn't dare look at her. Then she teased me: "Do you think I don't recognize you because you covered your face? - Get in the car, I'll deal with you when I get home!"
I was so embarrassed that I couldn't find words to describe how embarrassing I felt. It was like a wife running into her philandering husband on the street. Passersby looked at me strangely.
I sat in her Volkswagen and said helplessly, "Boss Ning, you've ruined my image as a good man."
Ning Xue blurted out, "When you kowtowed to Zhao Xi in public, your image was ruined."
I:"……"
Damn it, it’s all Su Xiaonu’s fault!
"A-choo—" Su Xiaoniu suddenly sneezed and said lazily, "Who is saying bad things about me behind my back again? I don't want to live anymore!"
Su Xiaoniu is awake? I was delighted. I hadn't heard Su Xiaoniu's voice since I left the power plant that day. Now, when I suddenly heard Su Xiaoniu's long-lost clear voice, I suddenly felt that it was not as annoying as before, but a kind of familiarity.
I immediately asked in my mind, "Su Xiaomo, are you awake?"
Su Xiaoniu said calmly, "Yeah. I slept really well this time... By the way, has anything happened recently? How's Huo Yan doing?"
I shook my head and said, "I've been in the hospital the past few days, so I don't know if anything has happened at the company. But I heard from Boss Ning that the company has been very quiet recently, and Huo Yan hasn't appeared again."
"That's strange. Logically, after so many days, Huo Yan should have taken action... Could her injuries be more serious than I thought?" Su Xiaoniu muttered to herself, then added, "Go back to the company first, check the situation, and then make plans."
When I returned to the company and followed Boss Ning to the office, I saw Yu Jie and Wu Xin gathered around Zhao Xi, holding beautifully wrapped wedding candies and invitations. Zhao Xi's hair, which had been loose before, was now tied back. She had a broad smile on her face and was wearing a beautiful, light-colored down jacket, which was a real eye-catcher.
"Zhao Xi, are you back at the company?" Ning Xue looked her up and down and said with a smile, "Oh, the bride-to-be is indeed more beautiful than before."
Zhao Xi pursed her lips and smiled back, "Boss Ning, please don't make fun of me. I'm not as pretty as you."
Yu Bastard interrupted and said, "Stop arguing, you're all beautiful! But where's your husband, Zhao Xi? When are you going to bring him out for a walk?"
Take a walk?
Do you think I'm a dog?
Zhao Xi blinked and said, "I won't tell you. You'll know on the day I get married."
