Seeing her angry expression, Jiang Ze couldn't help but smile wryly; he also wanted to keep it a secret.
But he has to go abroad in a couple of days for some business, and he's really worried about leaving his mother here alone.
Seeing that the atmosphere was a bit awkward, Li Ruo quickly pretended to be angry and said, "What do you mean by 'so as not to distract me'? You are my mother. It is only natural for me to come and see you when you are in the hospital. The way you are saying this clearly shows that you are treating me like an outsider."
As she spoke, she deliberately turned her head to one side, refusing to look at Jiang Luo.
Seeing this, Jiang Luochu couldn't care less about blaming Jiang Ze and quickly explained, "Ruoruo, that's not what Mom meant. I was just worried about interfering with your work. It wasn't a big deal for me anyway."
Li Ruo asked helplessly, "Is work more important or are you more important?"
Seeing that Jiang Luo was about to speak again, she quickly said in a coquettish tone, "I don't care, I not only want to come see you, but I also want to take care of you personally."
As soon as she finished speaking, she quickly put down her bag and gently massaged Jiang Luo's legs.
Jiang Luo couldn't help but pout angrily: "You child, why do you become more disobedient the more I talk to you?"
Although she complained, a smile involuntarily crept onto her lips as she watched Li Ruo's actions.
Time always flies when mothers and daughters spend time together. Li Ruo chatted and laughed with Jiang Luo, and soon it got dark.
After putting Jiang Luo to sleep, Li Ruo was filling the kettle in the water room when her phone suddenly rang.
It was Wen Huaiyan who called.
Looking at the name on the screen, she answered without hesitation: "Mr. Wen, is there anything I can help you with?"
Soon, a calm male voice came from the other end of the receiver: "Where are you?"
Upon hearing this, Li Ruo glanced at her watch and realized that it was already late at night.
She had intended to tell the man she wouldn't be home for dinner after finishing her meal, but she got so busy that she forgot in the blink of an eye.
Hearing the slightly angry voice on the other end, Li Ruo could almost picture Wen Huaiyan's gloomy face.
Her heart skipped a beat, and she quickly said, "I...I have something to do tonight. I've already eaten out, so I'll go back later."
But before she could finish speaking, Wen Huaiyan's voice, brooking no argument, came from the other end: "I asked you where you are?"
Wen Huaiyan is always decisive and efficient. When Li Ruo thought about how the other party had rushed over without saying a word after she gave him her address last time, she couldn't help but hesitate.
After all, Jiang Luochu and Jiang Ze absolutely could not know about her relationship with Wen Huaiyan.
If Wen Huaiyan were to suddenly appear like last time, she would be unable to defend herself.
To avoid unnecessary conflict, Li Ruo thought for a moment and then said vaguely, "A friend of mine is sick, and I'm taking care of her at the hospital right now."
"What friend?"
Upon hearing this, Wen Huaiyan couldn't help but feel a little puzzled.
He had never heard of Li Ruo having any friends who were so close that he would go to take care of them in the middle of the night.
"that is……"
Just as Li Ruo was about to explain, Jiang Ze's voice rang out: "Ruo Ruo, who are you talking to?"
Sensing the man's voice, Wen Huaiyan paused, his hand holding the phone suddenly turning cold.
But Li Ruo replied nervously, "No...nobody."
This hesitant manner clearly indicates that he's trying to hide something.
"Oh!"
Wen Huaiyan sneered and hung up the phone without hesitation.
Ruoruo? That sounds so affectionate!
What "visiting friends"? Turns out she went to be with another man!
"Li Ruo, you are so wonderful!"
Meanwhile, Li Ruo, unaware of his thoughts, was staring at the black screen, feeling somewhat bewildered.
He was the one who called first, and he was also the one who hung up without saying a word. What exactly does this man want?
Just then, Jiang Ze walked over: "Ruo Ruo, are you alright? I think I heard you talking just now?"
He remembered that Li Ruo had gotten lost when she came to visit her mother earlier, so when she didn't return for a long time, he thought she had forgotten how to get there again, so he came looking for her.
Meeting his worried gaze, Li Ruo finally snapped out of her daze and blinked quickly and guiltily, "A colleague called to ask me something, it's nothing."
After saying that, fearing that Jiang Ze would continue to ask questions, she hurriedly took the water bottle back to the ward.
By the time she got home, it was already past 10 p.m.
At this time, Wen Huaiyan should logically be in his study handling official business.
As soon as Li Ruo entered the house, she saw the man sitting on the sofa with a computer in his hand and a gloomy expression.
Li Ruo stared wide-eyed in surprise: "Mr. Wen, you... why are you sitting here?"
But Huaiyan didn't reply. When he saw her, his already cold expression darkened even more.
He then abruptly stood up and said coldly, "Get out of the way!"
Hearing his reprimand, Li Ruo was stunned and subconsciously looked at the spacious passageway beside her, her heart filled with doubt.
She wasn't sure if it was just her imagination, but she always felt that Wen Huaiyan was targeting her.
But she didn't do anything?
Filled with doubt, Li Ruo silently opened her mouth, wanting to say something, but looking at Wen Huaiyan's unapproachable face, her body involuntarily trembled, and she hurriedly made way for him.
As she moved, the man in front of her grew even colder.
