"Hmm... I'll take this one." Wanqing removed the earrings, suddenly puzzled. When would she wear them? Didn't he forbid her to go out? Was she supposed to dress up every day at home and wait for him to come back and catch a glimpse of her?
Mu Tianying's phone suddenly rang. He took it out, furrowed his brows and picked it up: "Hello?"
"Mr. Mu." The person on the other end said, "The patient in room 24 woke up. She is asking for her daughter."
"What do you usually say when she is not here?"
"Uh... she woke up last night, and she has asked a few times already, so..."
"Got it." Mu Tianying hung up the phone.
Wanqing didn't hear what they said on the other end. She was looking at the necklace around her neck in the mirror.
"Is this okay?" She asked Mu Tianying.
"Fine." Mu Tianying said to the clerk, "Just these, please ring up."
After paying the bill, they walked out of the jewelry store, and Mu Tianying said: "Your mother woke up."
Wanqing quickly looked at him: "So... can I..."
Mu Tianying lowered his head, sniffing at her neck, and said softly: "You are allowed to come back after lunch! Until 2 o'clock, that's quite a long time, right?"
Wanqing hurriedly looked at her digital watch. Eleven o'clock ... there are only three hours. It would take time to travel back and forth, so the actual time left wasn't much.
"Can I ——"
Mu Tianying darkened his face and furious: "Do you think you can negotiate? If I wasn't in a good mood, do you think I would tell you she woke up?! Don't reach for a yard after taking an inch!"
"Yes!" Wanqing immediately said, "I will definitely be back on time!"
Mu Tianying let out a light hum and said to Acheng: "Take her! Be back on time!"
...
Wanqing looked at her own reflection in the car window, the kiss mark that he left on her neck a few days ago was still remaining. She covered it with her hand, absolutely can't let her mother see it! After some thoughts, she said to Acheng: "First, take me home." Then she reported her home address.
Acheng looked at her through the rearview mirror: "The boss asked me to take you to the hospital."
"I need to change my clothes!" Wanqing said loudly.
Acheng hesitated for a moment and reached out to take his phone, intending to ask Mu Tianying.
Fearing that Mu Tianying would not agree, Wanqing said loudly: "I will be back on time, I won't cause you trouble!"
Acheng was stunned. It seemed inappropriate to say: "Miss has your kiss mark on her neck. She doesn't want her mother to know, so she requests a change of clothes ..." The boss will probably fire him for this? So, he retracted his hand.
Wanqing went home and changed into a collared shirt to cover the kiss mark, then hurried to the hospital. As she entered the ward, she saw Xu Kewei awake.
"Mom——"
"Wanqing?" Xu Kewei looked at her with a faint smile of relief, "You... what happened to your hand?"
"Oh..." Wanqing was startled, and came up with a quick lie, "I fell during physical education class."
"Why are you not careful?" Xu Kewei frowned. She lay there immobile, waiting for Wanqing to sit down, and then held Wanqing's hand, "Is the injury severe?"
"It's okay now."
Xu Kewei asked with doubt: "You are about to take your college entrance exams, but you're still having physical education classes?"
Wanqing was taken aback and immediately laughed: "It's combining work and rest! The school wants us to be physically healthy, so they insist physical education classes can't be stopped. We even have to do exercises during breaks!"
