Seeing that she hadn't spoken for a while, Zhan Yin asked, "What's wrong? Did I say something wrong?"
Qiao Wanwan smiled faintly, "You're right, I really don't act like myself in front of Zhan Jingting."
"Um, I didn't mean to belittle you. Don't be sad. It's okay to be love-struck."
"I'll take it as you trying to comfort me."
"If you say so, then it is."
Qiao Wanwan collected her thoughts and said, "Don't waste your time. Go and investigate your mother's matter. If anything happens, you can tell me anytime. I said that outsiders have a clearer view, and I might be able to give you some advice on some things."
"Okay, I'll go check it out now."
"Um."
Qiao Wanwan hung up the phone, threw off the covers, walked to the French windows, and stared blankly at the night view outside.
Suddenly, a weight settled on her shoulders as a thin blanket was draped over her.
Qiao Wanwan turned her head and saw Lin Mo's handsome face.
"Thank you." She pulled the blanket around herself closer. "I'm feeling much better. You don't need to stay at the hospital all the time; it will interfere with your own things."
“Wanwan, I know what I'm doing, you don't need to worry.” Lin Mo stood beside her, side by side. “The night view of the capital is indeed beautiful, with bright lights and revelry every night, but my greatest hope is that among all these lights, there is one that belongs to me.”
“When I’m exhausted from working hard outside, there’s a light waiting for me to come home, and my wife will be there to greet me with a smile. I feel that at that moment, all my fatigue will disappear, and that will be the happiest time of my life.”
"It will happen," Qiao Wanwan said with a smile. "Lin Mo, you are so outstanding and so good, you will definitely fulfill your expectations."
"Yes, it will definitely happen, so I've been working hard." Lin Mo turned to look at her delicate profile. "Wanwan, what kind of life do you envision?"
"I don't know." Qiao Wanwan forced a smile. "Maybe I used to have very specific images in my mind, just like you, but I don't anymore, and I don't want to expect them anymore."
"Just because of Zhan Jingting?" Lin Mo asked, puzzled. "Wanwan, you're a carefree person. I don't think you'd lose your faith in love or in life for someone like Zhan Jingting. You just need time."
"Really?" Qiao Wanwan's mind went blank. "But now, I don't even understand myself anymore. I hate who I am now, I hate my attitude towards things, I hate it so much."
“Wanwan, you are in an extremely negative state right now, but this is not the real you. You have to believe in the power of time, and it will soon help you get out of this.”
Qiao Wanwan gently shook her head, "Lin Mo, I'm a little sleepy, you should go back first."
“Wanwan, I know you’re running away. I won’t force you. I just want you to know that I’m always here.” Lin Mo was afraid that she would react too strongly, so he didn’t dare to say anything more and said with a smile, “You should get some rest. I’ll come see you again tomorrow.”
"Thanks."
......
The next morning, Xiang Yang arrived on time to deliver breakfast to Qiao Wanwan.
While eating, Qiao Wanwan asked, "It's fine if you don't eat, but what are you trying to do by taking pictures of me with your phone?"
“Boss, life is unpredictable. I used to think we had a lot of time together, but now I realize that everything needs to be cherished. So I want to cherish every moment with you and record videos so I can watch them anytime, anywhere.”
Qiao Wanwan couldn't help but look up at him, "Why are you talking so eloquently now?"
“I’m telling the truth. That day, when you were on the verge of death from poisoning, I recalled all the little things we’d shared, and I realized how unwilling I was to accept it. Boss, I’ve always dreamed of us growing old together, of us having our own families in the future, and that our feelings for each other would never change. But that day, I was truly terrified. I was afraid you’d die in the emergency room, afraid you’d become a vegetable, afraid you’d disappear from this world at any moment…”
Even now, when Xiang Yang recalls that day, his heart still trembles uncontrollably, and he chokes out, "Boss, I can't bear to part with you."
Qiao Wanwan put down the spoon she was using to drink porridge, gave him a bright smile, and said, "Xiang Yang, I'm not that easy to die. We can continue to eat and play until we're old."
"Boss, you have to keep your word!"
"Of course, when has the boss ever lied to you?"
Xiang Yang wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes, "It's a deal!"
It's a deal.
"Boss, you made me cry again. You eat slowly, I'm going out to calm down."
"good."
As soon as Xiang Yang left the ward, he sent the video he had just taken to Zhan Jingting and sent him a voice message, "Look, the boss looks much better. I just asked the doctor, and he said he's recovering well and can be discharged in a couple more days."
At the dining table, Zhan Jingting looked at the girl in the video, a gentle smile playing on his lips.
"Master Zhan," Jiang Dong came in to report, "Young Master Yin's progress is good, even a bit beyond my expectations, but I found out that he has a strategist behind him."
Zhan Jingting's smile reached his eyes, "It's Wanwan."
"Yes, he has been talking to his wife on the phone."
“Wanwan has always been very smart, and in this matter, she absolutely trusts Zhan Yin, so she will naturally help him overcome the difficulties.”
Jiang Dong nodded, "Madam has a very insightful view of things."
Zhan Jingting looked down at the video, "I'm the one who made her suffer..."
"Master Zhan, the medical team receives Madam's blood samples every day for observation and research. I believe there will be good results."
"Lin Mo won't give me that chance. If nothing unexpected happens, he'll soon force me to divorce Wanwan."
As Zhan Jingting expected, Lin Mo called soon after, "Are you stalling for time?"
"Wanwan is still not well."
Lin Mo sneered, "Zhan Jingting, if you want to establish a scumbag image now, the more scumbag the better. The more scumbag you are, the more Wanwan will hate you."
"Have you ever thought that the more she hates me, the deeper her love for me is? Have you ever seen her hate Gu Xulin like that?" Zhan Jingting said calmly. "Lin Mo, even if you can take Wanwan away, you will still be the loser, because she loves me."
These words seemed to suddenly touch a nerve with Lin Mo, who roared in fury, "Zhan Jingting, try saying another word, and believe me, I'll take Wanwan down with me!"
“A stubborn person like you is capable of anything, but at the same time, people like you are reluctant to die because you haven’t gotten what you want yet.”
Lin Mo gradually calmed down. "I know you studied psychology and are good at understanding people's hearts, but Zhan Jingting, remember this: no matter how much you try to understand me or provoke me, the initiative is still in my hands!"
“Wanwan is a person, not an object that you can take away and it will belong to you. Even if you take her away, her heart will never belong to you.”
"Zhan Jingting, that's enough!"
