Lin Xiao was somewhat bewildered.
But she still smiled gently and asked, "Qingliu, what's wrong? Are you still feeling unwell?"
Song Qingliu took a breath, looked away, and said softly, "I'm fine."
The two fell silent.
Silence is suffocating.
Lin Xiao's eyes flickered as he observed Song Qingliu's reaction, trying to understand her true thoughts.
She must be angry that he hugged her in his haste.
After all, he was just a stand-in.
A stand-in is just a stand-in; it's not real.
So Lin Xiao changed the subject, saying, "Qingliu, it's all my fault. I was too slow picking out the fish bones, and you choked. How about some soup? It's safe and delicious."
At this point, Song Qingliu had completely lost her appetite. She frowned and said, "I'm not eating. You eat it yourself."
Lin Xiao didn't insist any further, sat down, and continued eating.
A woman like Song Qingliu has her own set of rules.
If she doesn't want to eat it, forcing her to eat it will only make her more resentful.
It's a thankless task.
Anyway, she won't go hungry; she can ask her servants to buy whatever she wants to eat anytime.
Letting her be made more comfortable.
Sure enough, Song Qingliu also sat down to the side, quietly watching Lin Xiao eat.
Lin Xiao was completely unaffected by what had just happened; he had a good appetite and ate heartily.
Song Qingliu's eyes returned to calm.
The look in his eyes towards Lin Xiao unconsciously held a touch more admiration.
There was also a faint, inexplicable flutter in my heart.
She kept stroking the ring.
Song Qingliu didn't say another word until Lin Xiao finished his meal and Xu Chen came in to tidy up the coffee table.
The time hasn't come yet.
Lin Xiao thought for a moment and suggested, "Qingliu, you were frightened at noon and have been so busy at work during the day. Why don't you lie down on the sofa and rest for a while? I'll massage your head and help you relax."
Song Qingliu instinctively wanted to agree, but her body suddenly stiffened.
She closed her eyes.
Can she really do that?
He is Lin Xiao, not Feng Qi.
Why does it feel so comfortable to be held by him?
Why does she long for the feeling of being held tightly in his arms?
She's starting to get attracted to this guy, what should she do?
No, no, you can't.
A stand-in is just a stand-in; he can never replace the real Feng Qi.
When Song Qingliu opened her eyes again, her gaze was cold.
"No need. That's enough for today, you can leave now." Song Qingliu's tone was cold, carrying a hint of cold indifference.
Lin Xiao's eyes cleared instantly, and he smiled faintly and nodded: "Then I'll be going now, President Qing. Remember to eat on time; health is the foundation of everything."
As Song Qingliu watched Lin Xiao pick up his backpack, her eyes flickered.
She wanted to say something, but in the end she said nothing.
Perhaps she shouldn't keep making appointments.
Before she completely confused the two of them.
After leaving the Tianqi Medical Technology Company building, Lin Xiao, unusually extravagant, hailed a private car to return to Jiangda University.
In the car, looking at the 8 million yuan balance in his account, he felt a sense of peace he had never felt before.
He made a video call to his aunt.
"Auntie, how are you feeling today?"
Tong Chunni smiled and said, "Same as always. It's fine. Ah Xiao, are you in the car?"
"Yeah. I just finished a part-time job and I'm heading back to school."
BMW owner: "..."
What part-time jobs are so lucrative?
Do you need to take a private car just to get a ride?
He'd like to give it a try; it seems like it should be more profitable than driving a ride-hailing service!
Tong Chunni: "Ah Xiao, go back to school and take a nap to recover. Don't overexert yourself just because you're young. Your health is the most important thing, you know?"
"Okay. I understand, Auntie."
"Ah Xiao, how's your chat with Grandma Liu's granddaughter going? Have you met her yet?" Tong Chunni asked with a gossipy look on her face.
Lin Xiao's brow twitched.
Well.
Chu Yingying.
In reality, they're already dead.
Online, she was already his client.
"It's nothing. Auntie, don't worry about me. I'm doing just fine on my own now, really, it's so liberating."
"Besides, she's the school beauty. The line of men pursuing her could stretch from Jiangda University to the neighboring Jiangcheng Conservatory of Music. That shows she's a difficult person to deal with."
"There's no way we can be together!"
"Auntie, if I'm free tomorrow, I'll come see you. Take care. Bye-bye."
Lin Xiao breathed a sigh of relief after hanging up the phone.
If his aunt hadn't mentioned it, he would have almost forgotten about Chu Yingying.
On the other side, in ward 505 of Gulou Hospital.
Grandma Liu had overheard the entire conversation between Tong Chunni and her nephew.
She frowned and said, "Xiao Tong, I think your nephew is a good person, and he's a good match for my dear granddaughter."
"These two young people missed each other without even meeting. What a pity."
"Okay, when your nephew comes to the hospital tomorrow, I'll call my dear granddaughter over too, so they can both meet."
"If it really doesn't work out, I'll just never bring it up again, okay?"
Tong Chunni's biggest worry is her nephew's marriage.
If she could see her nephew's marriage settled before she died, she would die in peace.
He nodded in agreement without hesitation.
“Okay, I’ll call my nephew again tomorrow to find out if he’s coming and what time he’s coming. Once it’s confirmed, you can tell Yingying to come over so that the girl doesn’t make a wasted trip.”
Grandma Liu slapped her thigh and exclaimed, "Oh, it's settled then!"
Tong Chunni and Grandma Liu smiled at each other.
Lin Xiao, who knew nothing about this, took a nap in the car and soon arrived at Jiangda University.
