Chapter 144 You Are the First
He spoke every word into the depths of Nie Yao's eyes, his gaze burning, making Nie Yao's face blush even more.
She could even hear her own heartbeat and her ears were buzzing.
She didn't know how true or false his words were, but at least... his timely arrival tonight made her believe that he was sincere!
"You are so good at speaking, don't you have a lot of experience?" Nie Yao asked with a deliberately raised eyebrow.
"You are the first one!" Li Jinxing said in a deep voice, looking at her deeply, and the playful smile on his face disappeared without a trace.
Nie Yao met his serious gaze and was stunned for a moment, and did not speak for a long time.
The two of them stared at each other quietly for an unknown amount of time before Li Jinxing continued to feed her a light midnight snack and picked up a tissue to wipe the corners of her mouth.
"I just asked the doctor, and he said you can't eat anything too greasy right now. You should eat small meals frequently. So, eat these for now. If you feel hungry later, tell me..."
Li Jinxing reminded softly, and Nie Yao came back to her senses and nodded silently.
"Do you want to tell your father about what happened in the hospital?" Li Jinxing thought of this and asked with concern.
"No need, it's just a minor problem. There's no need to make a big fuss. If my dad knew about it, it would definitely alarm Grandpa. It's getting late now, so let's not bother the old man..."
Nie Yao smiled and rejected Li Jinxing's proposal, whispering, "Anyway, I'll go back after I get the injection!"
Seeing that she had no intention of notifying the Nie family, Li Jinxing did not force her. He would stay here to guard her anyway.
Seeing that the drip would need to last for a while, Nie Yao's stomachache had eased a lot. In addition, she had tossed and turned a lot at night. Now leaning on the hospital bed, she couldn't help feeling sleepy, and her eyelids began to twitch.
"If you feel sleepy, take a nap first. I'm here to watch over you..." Li Jinxing saw how she was trying to stay awake, helped her adjust the angle of the bed backrest, and advised her with a faint smile.
"Then I'll take a nap first. Wake me up after the drip is over!" Nie Yao said in a low voice.
Li Jinxing nodded with a smile. After watching Nie Yao lie down, she quickly closed her eyes and fell asleep. He turned up the air conditioner in the ward by two degrees and helped her pull up the quilt.
Seeing that there was still a lot of medicine in the bottle, Li Jinxing stood up, walked to the side, and called his subordinate.
"How's it going?"
"Master Jiu, that thug didn't lie. We escorted him to meet that black SUV, but they were too cunning..."
The bodyguard on the other end of the phone was coldly interrupted by Li Jinxing before he could finish his words.
"I don't want to hear the process, I just want the result!"
The leading bodyguard paused and replied in a low voice, "As soon as they realized something was wrong, they drove away. We only caught the man who used smoking as a signal and another man who negotiated with the gangsters. The others ran away..."
Li Jinxing frowned and asked unhappily, "Didn't you continue to chase after the car after it ran away?"
"We chased them and were almost there, but someone set up a roadblock and the tire got punctured. By the time we realized what was happening, the other car had disappeared!"
The bodyguard cursed softly when he said this: "They must have set up the roadblock, damn it!"
Li Jinxing snorted coldly and scolded in a deep voice: "You shouldn't have given that car a chance to start in the first place!"
