"Are you awake?"

She turned her head towards the voice and found that Zhong Qing was there too.

"Qingqing, when did you come?"

Seeing that she wanted to get up, Yan Yi subconsciously wanted to step forward, but just as he raised his hand, he stopped abruptly.

Zhong Qing bent down and helped Shen Mingzhu up, then put a pillow behind her for her to lean on.

Shen Mingzhu smelled a faint floral fragrance and turned around to see a large bunch of fresh red roses on the bedside table. They were placed in a transparent glass vase, looking gorgeous and tempting.

Roses are a rare commodity in this season.

"I haven't been here long. I didn't wake you up because you fell asleep. Did you sleep well?"

Zhong Qing looked at her carefully, with a gentle smile in her glass-bead-like brown eyes. "You look much better. You must have rested well these past two days."

Shen Mingzhu smiled and nodded. She noticed Yan Yi standing out of the corner of her eye, so she asked Zhong Qing to sit on the bed and gave the stool to Yan Yi.

"You are alone in the hospital, with no one to take care of you?"

After sitting down, Yan Yi asked with concern.

"I'm fine. Pei Yang and his sister will come over to take care of me after work."

Yan Yi paused, looked at her and said, "I'm sorry, I messed up. Fortunately, you are okay."

After saying this, seeing the confusion on Shen Mingzhu's face, Yan Yi realized something and his mood suddenly improved a lot.

It seems that Pei Yang is not so confident of winning against this potential opponent.

Otherwise, why would he not dare to tell her that he was the one behind Hengxing? Thinking of this, Yan Yi told Shen Mingzhu that Hengxing was the property of the Ning family.

"...I'm really sorry. I just wanted to do my best, but I didn't expect Ning Yuan to mess things up."

Shen Mingzhu suddenly realized, "I was wondering why a company as big as Hengxing would choose to cooperate with a small factory like us. Anyway, I still want to thank you. But there is no need to help me in this way in the future. You can help me temporarily, but not forever. On the contrary, it will make me blindly confident and make wrong judgments about the market."

I can help you all your life.

But Yan Yi would not say out loud such thoughts and ideas.

He smiled and said, "If possible, I still hope to have a chance to make up for my mistake."

"Not for the time being. Pei Yang is taking my eldest brother and sister-in-law to sell that batch of sugar in retail, and the response is pretty good."

Yan Yi nodded, "That's good."

Zhong Qing smiled and said, "Mingzhu, we are good friends. If you need help, you must ask for it."

"Yes, I will."

The two chatted with Shen Mingzhu in the ward for nearly an hour before leaving.

When I was leaving, I happened to meet Pei Ziheng who was rushing back to the hospital.

"Aunt Zhong, Uncle Yan."

Zhong Qing liked Pei Ziheng's politeness and understanding. "Ziheng, take good care of your mother. I will come to see you when I am free."

"Um."

Pei Ziheng ran back to the ward and saw the roses on the bedside table, his lips slightly curled up.

"Mother."

Shen Mingzhu had been planning to read a book to kill time, but when she saw her son coming back, she put down the book, pulled her son's little paw and looked at him, "Did you wash your hands after playing games?"

"Yeah, I washed it."

"What games did you play?"

"Super Mario."

Shen Mingzhu pretended to be surprised, "What a coincidence, I also like to play Super Mario."

Pei Ziheng's white face showed curiosity, "Mom, do you like playing games?"

"Yeah, I've played more games than you can imagine. My favorite is King of Glory, but I haven't played it yet. I'll play it later..."

Shen Mingzhu originally wanted to wait for 30 years until King of Glory is launched, and then she would bring her son to happily rank up together.

But then I thought that in thirty years she would be in her fifties, and it would probably be her son, no, her grandson who would help her get points, right?

When Shen Mingzhu thought about three generations of her family playing Honor of Kings together, her heart was suddenly filled with anticipation and joy.

Shen Mingzhu was immersed in fantasy and unable to extricate herself, but Pei Ziheng was still waiting for the follow-up.

Shen Mingzhu collected her thoughts and pinched his fair face with a smile, "Let's play games together when we have time in the future."

Pei Ziheng's dark eyes sparkled, "Yeah!"

Playing games with my mom makes me happy just thinking about it.

…

After walking out of the inpatient department, Yan Yi said to Zhong Qing beside him: "You go first, I'm going to meet a friend."

Zhong Qing smiled knowingly, "Then I'll see you later."

After watching Zhong Qing walk away, Yan Yi walked towards the hospital office building.

Office of the Vice President.

Lu Xuelun looked at Yan Yi who was carefully reading the medical records, and was extremely curious, "Who is she to you?"

This work is organized and uploaded by Liujiu Book Bar~~

"friend."

Lu Xuelun laughed teasingly, “I’ve known you for more than ten years, but I’ve never heard you say you have such a female friend.”

He particularly emphasized the word "female".

There are many people who want to be friends with Yan Yi, probably a circle around Fengcheng, but there are not many people who can be called friends by Yan Yi, and even fewer female friends.

Yan Yi ignored Lu Xuelun's teasing. After reading the medical records and confirming that Shen Mingzhu had no other health problems, he felt a little relieved.

…

"Wife, how are you today?"

In the evening, Pei Yang came to the hospital excitedly, and was slightly stunned when he saw the roses on the bedside table.

"Where did the flowers come from?"

"Zhong Qing and Yan Yi came to see me this afternoon."

It is rare to see such beautiful flowers in Fengcheng in winter. Pei Yang was about to bend down to smell them, but when he heard Yan Yi's name, he immediately lost interest.

"Why are they here?"

Shen Mingzhu looked at him with an expression that said, "You ask such a strange question." "Of course I came to see me."

Pei Yang's eyes fell on the fruit basket and nutritional supplements on the ground. He could tell from the packaging that they were not cheap.

“Did they send these too?”

"Um."

The joy of a day's harvest was completely washed away by the rival's "stealing".

Seeing that he looked unhappy, Shen Mingzhu asked with concern: "Is the candy sales not going well today?"

Pei Yang shook his head and handed the account book to her.

Shen Mingzhu flipped through the books, and a look of joy appeared on her face. "It's pretty good. We sold more than 300 kilograms."

"Um."

Shen Mingzhu looked up at him, "What's wrong? You look depressed."

Pei Yang lay on top of her, pressing his face against her belly through the quilt. "It's okay, I'm just a little tired."

Shen Mingzhu placed her hand on his furry head, her fingertips running along the hair on top of his head from time to time, "Then you should go back and rest early tonight."

Pei Yang shook his head and said in a muffled voice, "I just got here. I want to stay with you for a while longer."

While speaking, he rubbed his face on the quilt intentionally or unintentionally, looking childish.

Shen Mingzhu patted him and said, "Then come up and lie down for a while. I'm going to the bathroom and take a walk."

Pei Yang wanted to say that he would go with her, but when he opened his eyes, he thought of something and said yes.

After going to the bathroom, Shen Mingzhu went to the water room to get hot water for washing and brushing her teeth.

When I finished cleaning up and returned to the ward, the roses that had been so beautiful and gorgeous ten minutes ago were now left with only bare pistils and leaves.

Pei Yang looked innocent, "Wife, after you left just now, the petals fell off by themselves."

I'm taking a day off today. I'm having my period. I feel uncomfortable.
