"Cough, cough, cough..." Leng Ruofei's cough ruined his mood. He quickly stood up and helped her breathe. He looked at her worriedly as she coughed up tears. Then he said with some guilt, "Are you okay?"

Leng Ruofei finally stopped coughing, because every time he coughed, the wound on his abdomen would hurt. It was really too uncomfortable to hold back a cough, so he finally managed to catch his breath.

"Xiao Yiyang, you bully me." Leng Ruofei glared and accused.

"Oh?" His narrow eyes glanced at her red lips. "With your skills, can I bully you? I still remember that my sexual happiness for the rest of my life was almost ruined by you."

Leng Ruofei blushed at his insult, and put a finger to block his lips, afraid that he would kiss him again: "I am a patient now, so I won't bother with you. I don't want to live here because of the relationship between Xiao Ye and me... I don't want to cause trouble for you, and I also know that she can't tolerate me."

Xiao Yiyang's tough facial lines softened. He stood up with his hands in his pockets and said mysteriously, "Don't worry, she has gone back home to live. You can just stay here. I promise she won't come to bother you again."

Leng Ruofei's eyes lit up. Was what he said true? How could Xiao Ye let her go so easily? He couldn't help but narrow his eyes and look at Xiao Yiyang who was smiling: "You let her go?"

Xiao Yiyang just smiled and said nothing.

"Will that affect the relationship between you and your sister?"

Xiao Yiyang raised his eyebrows and responded mischievously: "Yes! Of course! So, how are you going to repay me?"

Leng Ruofei quickly pushed away his face that was leaning close to her: "Hey! Xiao Yiyang! Don't always act like a filthy scoundrel. I know you are not that kind of person."

"How do you know I'm not?" Xiao Yiyang smiled smugly and moved closer to her, as if he wanted to repeat his previous action.

"Hey! Xiao Yiyang, don't push your luck. If you continue like this, I will..."

The phone rang, it was Leng Ruofei, who finally saved her life. She quickly picked up the phone on the bedside table and put it to her ear, which also successfully made him stop and stand aside.

"Hello?" Leng Ruofei didn't even look at the phone. He didn't know who was calling and just answered it.

"Hello, is this Miss Leng?"

"Yes, it's me. May I ask who you are?" Leng Ruofei tried hard to identify his voice.

"Oh, I'm Wen Zijian. Have you been doing well these past two days?" Wen Zijian's voice was very sunny, and Leng Rufei could hear his sincerity and concern.

"Oh... I'm fine. You... have something to talk to me about?" Leng Ruofei blinked, and a confused look on his face fell into Xiao Yiyang's eyes.

"Oh, nothing. Do you have time to have dinner together in the evening?" Wen Zijian finally stated his purpose and felt much more relaxed.

"Eat?" She suddenly looked at Xiao Yiyang beside her cautiously and found that he was not looking at her, but looking somewhere outside the window.

"I... I'm sorry, I'm not feeling well and can't go." Leng Ruofei didn't want him to know that she had just been discharged from the hospital.

"Are you... okay?"

"No, I'm fine. It's just that it's really a little inconvenient. I'll treat you after a while, okay?" Leng Ruofei comforted the other party.

"Oh, I see. That's fine. Are you free tomorrow? I mean during the day. I want to discuss with you... and your boss about your clothing brand entering Mocheng. Is it convenient for you to come?"

"Um... Sorry, can I ask Mr. Mo from our company to talk to you? I have some personal matters to deal with, so I really can't go. Can I ask Mr. Mo to contact you?" Leng Ruofei suddenly remembered that Merlin seemed to have not contacted her for a few days. She had such a big thing as the operation, but she hadn't told him yet. However, she was also very confused. Why didn't Merlin call, talk to her or contact her in other ways in so many days?

"Oh, then... OK. What a pity! Let's meet again some other day." Wen Zijian hung up the phone with a frustrated look on his face. He called her cell phone for several days, but it was out of service area. Today he finally got through, but... Alas! How can he see her again?

Leng Ruofei quickly checked the caller ID, but there was no incoming call. Could it be that no one had called her during the past few days when she was in the hospital? Even if others couldn't have called, Merlin couldn't have refused to call, right? !

Leng Ruofei quickly called Merlin's cell phone, but the line was busy.

"It's strange."

Xiao Yiyang said innocently, "What's strange?" In fact, he was praising himself in his heart. He had blocked all the numbers in her address book when she went into the operating room for surgery. He restored it for her only after returning home.

"Merlin hasn't even called me. Didn't you just discuss our company's clothing brand entering Yihe City?" Leng Ruofei looked at Xiao Yiyang, always feeling that this man seemed to be hiding something from her.

"Oh? Yes, he called me before and said he had to return home early for something, and asked me to tell you, but I forgot." Xiao Yiyang said indifferently, "Okay, I'll go turn on the water and wash your hair."

"Ah——" Leng Ruofei didn't call him, and his tall figure flashed out of the bedroom.

Leng Ruofei didn't give up and called again. This time, Merin finally answered the call, and her tone was a little anxious: "Elen, are you looking for me?"

"Merlin? Where are you?"

"Oh, I'm at the company. What do you want to talk to me about?"

"You said you were at the company? You returned to China?" Leng Ruofei was stunned. How could he return to China while she was in the hospital? What was going on?

"Yeah, why didn't Mr. Xiao tell you? I came back yesterday." Someone beside Merlin called him to a meeting, and he quickly quickened his speech, "Sorry, Elen, I have to have a meeting soon. By the way, I plan to put aside the matter of Huity entering Mocheng for now. We need to make a more detailed plan, and there is no rush. I also have some more important things to do at the company. You stay in Mocheng for a while, you don't have to come back, wait for my news."

Leng Ruofei was stunned. Why did he change his mind so quickly? This was not like his style. Why did he just say he would not do something he was so passionate about? She was actually a little worried that she would not be able to help Merlin at all in her current state. She did not expect that the plan would be "put on hold" like that.

Just as he was thinking, Xiao Yiyang walked in, handsomely wearing only a white shirt, with his sleeves bent high and three buttons of his collar unbuttoned, revealing some muscles, too charming. Leng Ruofei was stunned and immediately had some guesses. Did he convince Merlin? Was it because of his illness?

Xiao Yiyang walked forward and tried to pick her up, but Leng Ruofei quickly held down his arm: "Did you... did you say something to Merlin?"

He was startled, then asked calmly, "What did you say?"

"You mean to delay Huity's entry into Mocheng?"

"Did he tell you?"

"Just tell me, isn't it?" Leng Ruofei saw some clues from his eyes and became more certain.

"Your current physical condition is not suitable for worrying about this." Xiao Yiyang picked her up and walked out the door.

"Ah!" She was frightened by him suddenly picking her up like this, and the wound on her belly started to hurt again.

"What are you doing? I can leave." Leng Ruofei was angry. Why was he always like this, as if they were husband and wife? She felt a little embarrassed by the feeling of being taken care of.

"You've been walking too much and your wound is stretched. You're not heavy." Xiao Yiyang smiled domineeringly.

This time when she was sick, he suddenly felt that taking care of people was actually a very special feeling. Looking at her weak side, he felt very fulfilled.

Xiao Yiyang carried her into the bathtub in the bathroom, let her lie down with her entire head exposed, then turned on the shower and gently rinsed her hair.

His movements were very gentle and light, and the tips of his ten fingers gently stroked her hair. Leng Ruofei suddenly felt uneasy, wondering if he had been "pampering" her too much these days.

"Actually, I can do it myself..." Leng Ruofei wanted to get up, but it was very inconvenient. He held on to the wall of the bathtub with both hands, and every movement would stretch the wound on his abdomen.

"Don't move! Be careful of your wound." Xiao Yiyang frowned as he looked at her curled legs. She was really disobedient. This shout really made Leng Ruofei stay still.

"You should feel lucky. You are the first woman I have served like this." Xiao Yiyang rubbed Leng Rufei's long hair carefully, and white foam was all over her head.

"It's so itchy." Leng Ruofei finally couldn't hold it back anymore. His ten fingers shuttled between her scalp and hair. The force was very light, and it made her feel numb. She now had goose bumps from head to toe.

"Huh?" Xiao Yiyang smiled. Was this woman disgusted with his technique? He increased the strength in his hand. "How about this?"

Leng Ruofei made a vague "hmm" sound. The hair on her arms still stood up. She really couldn't stand this massage-like technique, it was too ambiguous.

After a life-or-death operation, she suddenly felt that there was no longer any estrangement between her and Xiao Yiyang. It was as if they were really an old married couple. He would take care of her in every possible way. He even stayed with her in the ward on her last night.

That day was the last hospital day. Leng Ruofei could walk more steadily. The drainage tube in his abdomen had been removed. The nursing staff was busy and there were many people who needed care. Someone in the next ward had just had surgery and needed a skilled nurse to take care of him at night. Leng Ruofei took the initiative to give up the position, saying that he was almost well and did not need care.

Xiao Yiyang looked at her with fiery eyes at that time, and Leng Ruofei explained very unnaturally: "It's okay, I will be discharged from the hospital tomorrow, and everything is fine with me."

"Yeah." He didn't say anything. He gave the nurse the fee and an extra 200 yuan, and the nurse thanked him repeatedly.

There were originally four patients in the ward. One had just been discharged from the hospital, and one went home at night because the surgery had not been scheduled. Another had undergone surgery for uterine fibroids and could walk freely, but because he missed his child, he did not stay in the ward at night.
