Seeing Xia Xi about to explode, Xu Yanfeng mercifully gave in and said, "It's okay if you don't say nice things."
Xia Xi felt that he would not compromise so easily.
Sure enough, he paused for a few seconds and made an even more shameless request: "Kiss."
After Xu Yanfeng finished speaking, he turned his head to the side.
Xia Xi: “…”
Shame on you, how can you be so shameless!
Xia Xi subconsciously turned her head to look at the other person in the ward, only to find that Aunt Zhang had left at some point. At this moment, she and Xu Yanfeng were the only ones in the room.
Xu Yanfeng had confiscated her cell phone, so if she wanted to get it back she had to do as he said.
But she was unwilling to give up.
This person not only became domineering, but also became much worse.
After thinking for a while, Xia Xi decided to find another way. She bit her lip and added a condition: "Close your eyes."
Xu Yanfeng did as he was told.
Xia Xi said again: "Come closer."
Xu Yanfeng leaned forward, very close to her.
Xia Xi targeted the phone in his hand and planned to snatch it away when he wasn't paying attention.
However, before she could turn her thoughts into reality, Xu Yanfeng seemed to have heard her thoughts and put the hand holding the phone behind his back. Unless her arm was two meters long, it would be impossible for her to get around his body and reach the phone.
Xia Xi: “…”
Her gaze shifted upwards, landing on Xu Yanfeng's face. He still had his eyes closed, his face facing her like an obedient child. His eyelashes were long, thick and black like crow feathers, drooping down, and his eyes were slightly narrow and long. Even with his eyes closed, he was still very alluring.
Xia Xi raised her hand, pinched her index finger and thumb together, and gently touched his cheek with her fingertips, simulating a lip kiss.
Xu Yanfeng's eyelids trembled slightly, and he slowly opened them, meeting her gaze which was pretending to be calm.
Xia Xi didn't show any guilt on her face, and it looked as if she had really kissed him, so calmly.
Xu Yanfeng tilted his head slightly, raising the end of his eyebrows slightly, as if he was smiling, but upon closer inspection, it didn't look like that: "You were kissing?"
Xia Xi was not convinced but was very confident: "Why not?"
Xu Yanfeng pointed at his face and smiled silently: "Do I look so gullible?"
Xia Xi: “…”
As he spoke, Xia Xi carefully examined his face, from his eyebrows to his nose and mouth. Every bit of his face showed his shrewdness and wisdom, and he was indeed not easy to deceive.
Without teasing her any more, Xu Yanfeng chuckled, took her hand, and slapped the phone in her palm: "I'll count the time for you. If it exceeds fifteen minutes, I'll confiscate it. Since you're in the hospital, take this time to rest well and don't always think about work. The company won't collapse without you. You should have some idea of what should be put first. Ziheng was scared yesterday." After a pause, he added three words, "And me."
He was scared too.
Listening to Xu Yanfeng's exhortations that were like a monk chanting scriptures, Xia Xi couldn't get angry. She was not a fool. Couldn't she hear that he cared about her health?
She didn't argue with him and immediately called Huang Shiyu after getting her phone.
Huang Shiyu quickly answered: "I received a call from my brother-in-law this morning. He said you were in the hospital and couldn't come to the company these days. Sister Xi, how are you? Are you okay?"
“…”
She called him brother-in-law very naturally.
"She's fine now. It was just a very minor operation," Xia Xi said. "There's a folder on my office computer desktop labeled 'Mrs. Li's Private Estate.' It contains some information I compiled, along with some precautions. Send it to Yu Xiaoxiao or Gao Ge's email address. If they can use it, use it. If not, forget it."
Every designer has different ideas, styles, and focuses. Since this project has been handed over to Gao Ge, she can't give Gao Ge any guidance, as that would be a bit of a know-it-all. She can only provide her with some convenience.
Of course, maybe Gao Ge had prepared it himself and didn't need what she gave him.
Huang Shiyu replied, "Okay, I'll do it in a moment. Take care of your health and don't worry about work. If there's anything, just tell me to do it."
"And over at Jingyu Garden, the batch of tiles and wooden floors I ordered will be arriving today. Go over and check carefully to ensure the goods are identical, without even the slightest difference." Xia Xi emphasized again and again, "They must be strictly inspected according to the specifications I set."
Huang Shiyu: "Okay, I know."
After ending the call, Xia Xi sent a message to Lu Mingji, briefly explaining her situation.
Lu Mingji happened to be looking at his phone and called directly.
Xia Xi subconsciously looked at Xu Yanfeng. He turned his gaze and paused for a few seconds. He tapped the watch on his wrist twice with his fingertips, meaning, pay attention to the time.
Xia Xi pressed the answer button, and Lu Mingji's concerned and nervous voice came from the other end of the line: "Which hospital are you in? What's wrong with you? Is it serious? How are you now?"
Xia Xi was silent for a moment.
Ever since Lu Mingji confessed his love to her, their contact has been less than before. It must be that Lu Mingji deliberately kept a distance to give each other some buffer time.
Xia Xi didn't mention the name of the hospital. After thinking for two seconds, she spoke gently, "You don't have to come see me. It's just a minor stomach problem. It's not serious. I'll be discharged soon."
"I'll go ask the doctor if you can eat now." Xu Yanfeng suddenly spoke and then left the ward.
Lu Mingji swallowed the words "I'd better go check on you" that were on the tip of his tongue. If he heard correctly, that voice belonged to Xu Yanfeng. With him taking care of Xia Xi, there was no need to worry.
Unlike abroad, Xia Xi had no one to help him.
