Ji Nanming was in a bad mood. When he realized how quickly he was captivated by Lou Xi, the feeling was unsettling.

Firstly, Lou Xi wasn’t his type. His ideal partner should have fair skin and a beautiful face... Anyway, nothing like Lou Xi.

But then he thought of a saying: when you truly meet someone who moves your heart, all the requirements you previously set for your partner will vanish with their appearance.

Lou Xi surpassed all these requirements; she was unique.

He had the driver take the car to Houhai, and he sat there alone, smoking one cigarette after another.

Then he called Ed, telling him he had to leave for a while, and asked Ed to pay more attention to Lou Xi in the meantime.

Before Ed could ask what Ji Nanming was going to do, the latter had already hung up the phone.

Ji Nanming just wanted some space to think in a place without Lou Xi.

Perhaps his feelings for Lou Xi were just curiosity, thinking this girl was special and envying the man who was loved by her. Once he left for a while, this curiosity would be replaced by another, and his feelings for Lou Xi would diminish.

Better to leave an option open now for future meetings.

After all, there was still Shen Youran between them. If things got too messy, Shen Youran would be caught in the middle, unable to deal.

After much thinking, Ji Nanming decided to leave for a while.

...

When Lou Xi arrived at the hospital, Qin Mobai had already finished his routine morning check-up, and the nurse had just finished drawing his blood.

There were several vials of blood samples on the medical cart, and Lou Xi felt heartache just looking at them.

When Qin Mobai saw Lou Xi, his originally cold eyes slowly filled with a hint of a smile.

The nurse who was drawing his blood blushed slightly, thinking Qin Mobai was smiling at her.

Qin Mobai was originally handsome, with his charming smile, he mesmerized countless girls.

"Mr. Qin, would you like me to help you wipe yourself later? Since you were transferred to our hospital..."

Before the nurse could finish, Qin Mobai shook his head, his gaze never landing on her but looking over her shoulder at the person behind.

Only then did the nurse realize and turn her head to see Lou Xi at the door.

The nurse blushed, quickly gathered her things, and pushed the cart out.

As she passed by Lou Xi, the nurse lowered her head even more, realizing she had been caught making eyes at Qin Mobai by his rightful lady!

Watching the nurse leave, Lou Xi closed the door and walked into the room.

"Mr. Qin’s charm hasn’t waned over the years; even in the hospital, girls are lining up to get close to you!"

The words sounded a bit sour.

Qin Mobai smiled faintly, appearing much more spirited than when he had just woken up yesterday, but still had many tubes attached, requiring slow recovery.

"If I hadn’t arrived in time, that little girl would have given you a sponge bath. Would she strip you naked for it?" Lou Xi sat on the chair by the bed, placing her hands on the bed with her chin resting on them, her bright eyes lively as she looked at Qin Mobai.

Before coming here, Lou Xi had left all her emotions behind, wanting to give Qin Mobai a peaceful recuperation environment, free from outside disturbances.

"I was just about to refuse when you came," Qin Mobai spoke, his voice soft and husky.

He probably didn’t know how thrilled Lou Xi was to hear his voice again.
