Leng Jin put down the phone, lowered his head, and looked at Wu Linzhi and said with a reluctant laugh, "Linzhi, don't look at me like that. After all, the hospital is so big, and we don't know which ward An Qi is in."
"Well, okay then. Come on, Leng first young master. But, I must ask… Gu Xiaonan is just a manager, so why do you let her hurt An Qi over and over again?" Wu Linzhi asked.
His head was bowed as he asked the question, and he looked mysterious underneath his black sunglasses and baseball cap. As several young girls walked past, they looked at Wu Linzhi and whispered to each other.
"Linzhi, this is the philosophy of the workplace. As you are a celebrity and are always in the spotlight, you naturally do not understand," Leng Jin said.
"Well, I do know that if someone dares to bully me, I won't just sit there and take it, but will return it to them... Ten times worse!" Seemingly to mock the excessively cautious Leng Jin, Wu Linzhi suddenly took off his sunglasses and exposed his handsome face in order to reiterate his point.
Under the sunlight, his charming looks attracted many fans, who all exclaimed with delight...
"Wow, it's Wu Linzhi! He's the most famous male model in the world. I didn't expect him to be so grounded as to come to a public hospital!"
"Yeah, aren't celebrities supposed to visit only the most expensive, private hospitals, even when they are only suffering from a common cold?"
"A celebrity like him, who just came back from abroad, does not seem to put on airs at all!"
"Hey! Can you give us an autograph?"
"Yeah, I really want an autograph…"
The craziness of all of the fans squeezed Leng Jin away from Wu Linzhi's side. Wu Linzhi's fame and good looks had clearly caught the attention all of the girls especially.
"Line up, one by one!" Wu Linzhi spoke to the girls softly, and his gentle voice triggered a rousing cheer from all of the female fans.
In less than half a second, they were all lined up like students at school, neat and tidy, with no signs of the disarray and chaos that had described them a mere half an hour ago. Very few celebrities had such an appeal for fans as Wu Linzhi, even throughout the whole entertainment industry!
Wu Linzhi glanced at Leng Jin, who was in deep thought as he stood to the side of the throng of fans. When he spoke his next words, it seemed as if Wu Linzhi was talking to the fans, but the context of his words applied even more to Leng Jin...
"You must remember that you can't just sit by and tolerate everything that is done to you. If someone beats you on the left cheek, then you stick out your right cheek... That's silly! You have to fight back! Remember that, okay?"
After he spoke, all of the excited female fans held up his autograph and shouted happily, "Yes!"
He looked so handsome, and the female fans were so mesmerized with Wu Linzhi! He was like a greedy bear, who had just fallen into a honey jar. He had such a strong appeal that the girls were simply unable to control themselves!
Leng Jin shook his head, while wondering if he should trust Wu Linzhi to deal with An Qi's matter.
In a ward of another building…
An Qi and Leng Yuchen were hugging each other tightly. In the past, Leng Yuchen had felt disdain for people who hugged each other. He found it to be a hypocritical action.
But, it was not until he had first hugged An Qi that he began to understand the sense of security that hugs could bring, especially between lovers. As such, he now found the gesture to be quite beautiful.
At the moment, Leng Yuchen's chin was rubbing against An Qi's hair. An Qi stayed quiet and enjoyed the connection, allowing him to constantly rub her hair. If not for Leng Yuchen's having accidentally touched An Qi's shoulder while he was rubbing her hair, the two of them might have even forgotten that time existed at all.
"Ouch…" An Qi tried to bear with the pain when he grazed her shoulder, but could not keep from taking in a deep breath and yelping.
"What is it? Who hurt you?" Leng Yuchen asked out of relex, while slowly coming to his senses.
An Qi bit her lip and said, "It was nothing. I knocked my shoulder against something accidentally."
An Qi had trained herself to always be mindful when she spoke, so as to not cause any unnecessary trouble. So, in this scenario, she chose to make an excuse.
"Are you sure?" Leng Yuchen was calm, almost as if he could read An Qi's mind.
"Yes, I'm sure." An Qi insisted. "Trust me. After all, I am your baby's mother. I raised Little Yufei on my own, and she did not meet with any mishaps."
When An Qi mentioned An Yufei, Leng Yuchen said, "That's because Little Yufei is clever, and that has nothing to do with you!"
An Qi was shocked by his response. He had basically challenged her dignity as a mother… And right to her face, too!
In a blink of an eye, taking advantage of her high fever, An Qi waved her little hand and pressed it on Leng Yuchen's. She held a single hand on the hospital bed and looked at Leng Yuchen.
Suddenly, her playful nature was triggered, so she asked, "What kind of monster are you? Quickly, tell me your name!"
"I'm your husband," Leng Yuchen replied, a bit taken aback by her strange question.
"No, I mean your real identity!" she shouted back at him with a crazy smile.
"I'm your husband, Leng Yuchen!" he repeated, still confused.
"Tell me... Before you became a human, were you a fox? Or… Were you a white rabbit?" she asked amid a fit of giggles.
"Um... I'm the successor of the Leng Group... Your husband, Leng Yuchen!" he said as he shook his head, clearly bewildered.
"Gosh, that is so boring." An Qi said. Leng Yuchen's replies made her yawn. If she had known that his company would be so bland, she might as well have just slept this whole time!
"Boring?" Leng Yuchen wondered to himself about what An Qi could have meant by this. He had played many roles in his life and had many descriptions spoken of him, but boring was never one of them! No one had dared to label him in such a way before!
"Well, then I'll show you what it means to be interesting!" As Leng Yuchen spoke, he flipped around and pressed An Qi beneath him.
Although his actions were swift, he managed to gingerly avoid touching An Qi's sensitive wounds. The whole process was so smooth, and before An Qi could even respond, Leng Yuchen's lips were on hers.
His familiar breath swept over An Qi's face, making her temporarily forget the pain in her shoulder. She had to wonder if Leng Yuchen's kiss had an analgesic effect. If so, in case they became bankrupt one day, she figured that she could take him to the hospital and let him kiss patients in order to make money!
Then, ideas about how to make money flooded An Qi's mind. In fact, if Leng Yuchen had not been kissing her, she would probably shared these ideas with him right then and there. After all, she did not want to hide anything from him.
Leng Yuchen seemed to have sensed An Qi's distraction, and he gently pinched her chin. His touch was so gentle, and just as An Qi's thoughts were focusing back towards him, the door of the ward was suddenly pushed open from the outside.
At the same moment, a blushing person screamed ...
