Sheng Xuan was slightly taken aback, a hint of sadness flashing across his eyes.
Although he didn't want to admit it, he was indeed badly let down by Sheng Ju's superb acting skills.
Seeing that he had calmed down a bit, Ning Lang asked, "Are you still feeling unwell?"
She should have kept quiet, because the moment she brought it up, his attention was drawn back, and the discomfort he felt all over intensified instantly, causing him to roll around on the sofa.
"I can perform this kind of self-inflicted suffering scene without being taught, but why are you making this licorice-pig dish?! It's so uncomfortable!"
Ning Lang gripped her phone and quickly snapped a picture of his uncomfortable "heroic" appearance.
"The most exquisite acting skills cannot compare to the most genuine reactions. First, get into character and find the feeling, then give it your all in a moment."
Sheng Xuan: "..."
This woman—she was born to be his nemesis!
Ning Lang glanced at the time and said, "You go to bed and wait. I'll call Sister Shan and ask her to come and help."
Sheng Xuan was both angry and helpless, and had no choice but to let her do as she pleased.
"Once this is over, we won't need to do it anymore, right? I promise you, I won't confront them directly for now. But I have other things to do immediately after being discharged from the hospital—it's an extremely urgent matter!"
Ning Lang shook her head, her attitude resolute.
“No, you have to stay here for the next month. Try to keep it a secret from Uncle Qing as well.”
The more genuinely concerned the people around him are about him, the more relaxed the enemy will be, and the safer he will be.
Sheng Xuan staggered to his feet and swayed as he lunged toward the hospital bed.
"No...! I really have something to do!"
Seeing him staggering, Ning Lang had no choice but to reach out and support his arm.
"What is it? Let Ning Rui do it for you."
Sheng Xuan was extremely dizzy. When someone offered him support, it was like seeing a lifeline. He leaned down with his strong and tall frame.
Ning Lang almost fell over due to a moment of carelessness!
Sheng Xuan instinctively tried to save himself by wrapping his arms around her!
This hug—it came out of nowhere!
Ning Lang was stunned, a hint of embarrassment flashing in her eyes, but she quickly calmed down and reached out to help him up—but he held her tightly!
Forehead?!
Ning Lang asked, "Are you alright?"
Sheng Xuan's tall frame swayed slightly, and he easily released her.
Ning Lang, with an aloof expression, helped him up and assisted him back to the hospital bed.
Sheng Xuan hugged the blanket, curled up into a ball, beads of cold sweat on her forehead, but a strange light flickered in her eyes.
...It's this light, pleasant scent!
He's sure!
He was absolutely certain that he had smelled that delicate scent that night!
But why was Lin Huier lying next to him when he woke up?
He buried his head in the blanket, trying hard to recall every detail of that night, but his mind was blank. Apart from that extremely pleasurable feeling, he had no other recollection.
Damn it! Did he overlook something?!
Ning Lang didn't notice anything amiss with him and turned to dial her secretary's number.
"Xiao Chen, has the dessert mung bean soup arrived yet? Or is it Sister Lin Mei? Either way is fine, I'll wait for her."
Then, she hung up the call and then pressed the button on Shan Jueshan's WeChat and initiated a voice call.
"Sister-in-law, that's enough."
...
Ten minutes later, Lin Mei returned to the corridor of the VIP ward.
The security guard stopped her again, saying, "You can't pass without a pass."
Lin Mei smiled ingratiatingly and explained, "I was just here a while ago! I came to deliver dessert to President Ning, to that tall and beautiful girl in ward A3."
"I'm sorry, this is our rule." The security guard shook his head: "Without a pass, you can't go in."
Lin Mei was secretly anxious and was about to call Ning Lang.
Unexpectedly, the elevator for medical staff opened, and several people in white coats hurriedly went into ward A3.
Lin Mei stared at Ning Lang suspiciously as she watched him slowly walk out of the ward.
"Hey! Mr. Ning!"
