Xu Xinchen stared at Chen Ningsheng with her big, watery eyes, her gaze full of doubt: "Are you sure you really won't do this again?"
Chen Ningsheng raised his hand, pinching his thumb and pinky together as if making a vow: "I promise you, I will absolutely, absolutely, absolutely never do such a thing again. If I'm lying to you, I'll hold the bowl and let you use one hand to scoop the food with a spoon, okay?"
Xu Xinchen chuckled, her eyes crinkling into crescents, leaving Chen Ningsheng speechless: "How about this, you hold the bowl now, and I'll use one hand to scoop up the food."
"No!" Chen Ningsheng immediately snapped out of his daze, his eyes widening. "How can this be? I'm going to feed you."
As Chen Ningsheng spoke, he scooped up another spoonful of porridge and held it to Xu Xincheng's lips, then opened his mouth in a mock-serious manner to coax Xu Xinchen: "Come on, Xinchen, open your mouth, ah..."
Xu Xinchen was instantly speechless. She wanted to tell Chen Ningsheng, "Don't treat me like a child," but after thinking about it, she still obediently opened her mouth and drank the spoonful of porridge.
When Gu Yan arrived at the ward, he saw the two of them looking very affectionate, which made him immediately close his eyes and take a few steps back: "Have you two had enough? If you have, stop now, my eyes are about to be blinded by your love."
Upon hearing Gu Yan's words, Chen Ningsheng looked up and glanced outside, then immediately snorted coldly, "If you don't want to see, then leave now. Who told you to come here?"
"He really has no sense of propriety at all," Chen Ningsheng thought to himself with a cold sneer. He clearly knew Chen Ningsheng didn't like him much, yet...
They came here specifically to get in their way.
Gu Yan gave a wry smile, took a few steps forward, and ignoring the fact that he had just been complaining about the two of them, stepped into the ward and said to them, "I came here to tell you before they arrived."
Xu Xinchen lay on the hospital bed, her eyes wide with curiosity: "The two of them? Who's who?" As she spoke, she looked at Chen Ningsheng.
Chen Ningsheng's face turned cold. He then remembered that he hadn't mentioned to Xu Xinchen that Lu Zhenjun and Zhao Lanzhi were coming to see them. After a moment of silence, Chen Ningsheng didn't want their affairs to disturb Xu Xinchen's meal.
So he quickly picked up the spoon again, scooped up the little porridge left in the bowl, put it in Xu Xinchen's mouth, and said to Xu Xinchen, "Don't worry about that now, let's finish this first."
Xu Xinchen obediently opened her mouth and finished the rest of the porridge. After seeing Chen Ningsheng take the bowl back, she continued to ask, "Who is it? I would have known even if you didn't tell me when they came, but you could have at least given me some time to prepare."
Chen Ningsheng sighed: "Sigh, it's your father and your stepmother. They'll be coming here to find you later. We guess they're coming because of Lu Shuangshuang."
Upon hearing Chen Ningsheng's words, Xu Xinchen's expression instantly turned indifferent: "Oh, it's the two of them, then I understand."
Chen Ningsheng reached out and touched Xu Xinchen's hair: "Why don't you lie down and take a nap? When the two of them come later, we'll just handle them."
Xu Xinchen gently shook her head: "No need, it's okay, I can handle the two of them, you don't need to worry too much."
Chen Ningsheng frowned, intending to persuade Xu Xinchen again, but Xu Xinchen preemptively reached out and pressed her hand to his lips, saying to him, "I told you not to worry, let them come, I naturally have a way to deal with them."
Chen Ningsheng frowned and looked at Xu Xinchen for a while. Seeing the unwavering determination in Xu Xinchen's eyes, he nodded and agreed to let Xu Xinchen meet Lu Zhenjun and Zhao Lanzhi.
Standing to the side, Gu Yan was completely ignored by them. He awkwardly touched his nose and said to them, "You two should at least look at me. I came here specifically to deliver this message to you."
Chen Ningsheng turned his head impatiently and glanced at Gu Yan: "Why are you still here? Hurry up and go back. We have family matters to deal with later. You are not suitable to stay here."
Family matters? Gu Yan couldn't help but touch his nose and mutter to himself, "Chen Ningsheng is getting more and more shameless. He can even say 'family matters' like that. Is Xu Xinchen married to him? How dare he say such things?"
However, mentioning this made Gu Yan suddenly think of something strange. He turned to look at Xu Xinchen and asked seriously, "Why are you called both Lu Minshi and Xu Xinchen?"
Xu Xinchen blinked, almost unable to react, but fortunately she had excellent self-control and quickly said, "There is a reason for this, but it is not convenient to tell you now. Just call me Lu Minshi."
Gu Yan gave a somewhat disappointed "Oh," and said, "Then you should get some rest. Your father and stepmother will be here soon, and there will be a tough battle ahead. I'll head back now, since this is your family matter, right?"
As Gu Yan spoke, his gaze kept drifting towards Chen Ningsheng. Chen Ningsheng rolled his eyes. After Gu Yan left the ward, Chen Ningsheng couldn't help but mutter, "That damn Gu Yan, how annoying he is! I said there was something wrong with family matters, and he dared to glare at me like that."
Xu Xinchen said with a wry smile, "He didn't glare at you at all. He just gave you a normal look. You're just overthinking it."
Chen Ningsheng frowned in displeasure: "You actually took his side. In your eyes, who is more important, him or me?"
At this moment, Chen Ningsheng acted like a child, which earned him a sharp rap on the head from Xu Xinchen: "You get jealous for no reason? How old are you?"
Chen Ningsheng hugged Xu Xinchen and buried his head in her arms in a coquettish manner: "No matter how old I am this year, the one you like the most in your heart must be me. No, the only person you can like in your heart is me. No one else is allowed to know, okay?"
Xu Xinchen rolled her eyes slightly and said perfunctorily, "Okay, okay, get up now. I'm already weak enough. What if I faint if you keep doing this?"
"No way, I didn't use much force." Chen Ningsheng muttered in dissatisfaction, but still obediently raised his head.
