After finishing her meal, Huo Jinning patted her belly contentedly.
Then he said to Fu Qinian, "Qi, I can't continue recording the show. It's a real pity, there are only two episodes left... but there's nothing I can do about it."
A hint of regret was in her eyes; she liked to finish what she started.
Fu Qinian gently stroked her head and comforted her, "It's okay, your health is important. It's alright if it's not perfect just once."
Then, Huo Jinning mentioned that Huo Zimo had gone back to continue recording the program.
Seeing Huo Jinning sitting safely on the hospital bed with a smile on her face, Fu Qinian felt very relaxed.
He listened quietly as Huo Jinning recounted the interesting things that had happened recently, and the corners of his mouth unconsciously turned up.
The ward was filled with laughter and cheerful conversation, creating a sense of peace and warmth.
Fu Qinian occasionally echoed Huo Jinning's words, his eyes full of tenderness and doting.
Suddenly, Fu Qinian's expression turned serious. He looked at Huo Jinning earnestly and said remorsefully, "I'm sorry, I caused you to get hurt."
However, Huo Jinning shook her head and replied with a smile, "It's not your fault, it's those bad people's fault. Besides, you risked your own safety to save me, I should thank you."
He reached out and gently stroked her hair, comforting her, "Yes, you're right. But don't worry, I promise I'll never let you get hurt again."
Huo Jinning nodded, indicating that she understood.
Then, Fu Qinian told her that according to the doctor's diagnosis, she could be discharged from the hospital in three days.
Then, he tentatively asked, "Would you like to stay at my house for a few days? Grandpa has been thinking about you."
Hearing this, Huo Jinning's eyes lit up immediately, and she happily agreed, "Okay! I also miss Grandpa Fu, and my uncles and aunts very much."
Actually, what she really wanted to say was that she missed the delicious food at the Fu family's house even more.
[I hope my illness will heal slowly at the Fu family's house, so I can stay a few more days.]
[Hehe, I really want to eat cake, boiled fish, braised pork, sweet and sour pork ribs...]
There are so many delicious things to eat, I can't possibly list them all right now.
Fu Qinian couldn't help but chuckle at Huo Jinning's words. He thought to himself, "Looks like I should give the chef a raise since she loves to eat like this."
Have you found out who wants to harm you?
Fu Qinian replied, "I have some clues, but I can't be sure who it is yet. However, I will find out as soon as possible."
Huo Jinning said worriedly, "Then you must be careful in the future! You can't hurt your leg again."
Fu Qinian smiled and nodded, replying softly, "Okay, I understand."
...
On the third day of Huo Jinning's hospitalization, while taking a walk in the corridor, a woman walked towards him. She was wearing a white dress, had long hair, and an elegant demeanor.
When she saw Fu Qinian, a surprised smile appeared on her face: "Brother Nian! What a coincidence to run into you here."
"What brings Miss Bai here?" Fu Qinian asked in a calm tone.
"I'm here on behalf of the Bai family to visit you. I heard you were injured, and Grandpa was very worried, so he sent me to check on you," Bai Miao explained.
Fu Qinian nodded slightly to express his gratitude.
Just then, Xiao Liu suddenly spoke up: [Ding, there's some gossip.]
Huo Jinning was overjoyed and was about to enjoy the show when Bai Miao interrupted her.
"Brother Nian, this must be your girlfriend, right?" Bai Miao looked at Huo Jinning, a hint of curiosity flashing in her eyes.
"Yes, this is my girlfriend, Huo Jinning. Ningning, this is Miss Bai Miao from the Bai family," Fu Qinian introduced them.
"Ningning, hello. It's nice to meet you." Bai Miao said to Huo Jinning with a smile.
"Hello, Miss Bai," Huo Jinning replied politely.
After exchanging polite greetings, the two did not have any further interaction.
Next, Bai Miao and Fu Qinian began to talk about some serious matters, such as work and family cooperation.
Huo Jinning, on the other hand, focused on watching the drama unfold.
[I never imagined that Bai Miao had feelings for Fu Qinian.]
Fu Qinian, who was speaking, was taken aback upon hearing this. He turned to look at Huo Jinning and then spoke absentmindedly to Bai Miao.
Bai Miao followed Fu Qinian's gaze and looked over. She hadn't expected that Fu Qinian, who was in love, would pay so much attention to someone.
[She even faked suicide, though she didn't actually dare.]
[They even placed an inflatable cushion downstairs beforehand and had a professional find the right angle to ensure there would be no danger when I jumped.]
[She seems quite cute.]
[Upon closer inspection, one of them is quite beautiful and seems to be a good match for Fu Qinian.]
"Ningning." Fu Qinian interrupted Huo Jinning's wild thoughts in time.
"Ningning." Seeing that Huo Jinning did not respond, Fu Qinian called out softly again.
"Um, ah!" Huo Jinning snapped out of her daze and responded instinctively. "Aqi, is something wrong?"
Huo Jinning, who had been enjoying watching the drama unfold, lowered her head and turned to look at Fu Qinian.
"Didn't you just say you wanted to eat cake? I wanted to ask what flavor you wanted?" Fu Qinian smiled helplessly, but his tone remained gentle.
“Cake…I want strawberry flavor.” Huo Jinning’s eyes lit up instantly, as if twinkling with little stars.
"Okay, good." Fu Qinian breathed a sigh of relief, finally managing to divert Huo Jinning's attention.
Bai Miao, who was observing quietly from the side, found the natural interaction between the two quite novel.
She never expected that Fu Qinian, who was always cold and aloof, would have this side to him.
[I hope she won't misunderstand why she's looking at us like that!]
[Importantly, she's Bai Ze's cousin.]
This is practically a crematorium.
[The siblings both like the same person.]
Wow, that's amazing!
Her rival is her younger brother.
[I really want to know what she would do if she knew her brother was with Fu Qinian?]
[Wait, there's a plot twist.]
[Bai Miao has a boyfriend, and it turns out to be Gu Shichu! Isn't that Fu Qinian's second uncle's illegitimate son?]
[What a coincidence!]
[Could there be some kind of conspiracy?]
Fu Qinian also looked at Bai Miao in an instant and suddenly understood why there was evidence that Bai Miao was the one who kidnapped Huo Jinning and him. Now that it was confirmed, he must have been used by someone.
What was previously uncertain now has an answer.
[It seems my injury is inextricably linked to Fu Qinian's second uncle and his son.]
[In the original book, both Fu Bo and Gu Shichu coveted the position of head of the Fu family.]
[When I first met Fu Qinian, thanks to my intervention, Fu Qinian's leg was unharmed, and he escaped unharmed.]
[It seems they've made their move again.]
[I'll remind Fu Qinian later if you don't believe me.]
[It's just a pity about Bai Miao; their initial meeting was a conspiracy.]
She thought she had found true love.
What a pity, what a pity.
When the family servants brought the cake, Bai Miao took her leave.
