Chapter 762

Half an hour later, she called again, but still no one answered.

She was a bit worried about Shu Xia's situation, so she went to Qiao Group and met with Zhang Tezhu.

Zhang Tezhu called Qiao Muting to inquire, then informed Jiang Nannan that Shu Xia was at the hospital.

Jiang Nannan hurried to the hospital with her heart in her throat and found the ward.

"My god, such a serious car accident!"

The explanation Zhang Tezhu gave Jiang Nannan was a car accident.

Shu Xia did not want Jiang Nannan to worry, and since the matter had already passed, she smiled and said, "It's fine, nothing serious."

"You call this nothing serious?" Jiang Nannan stared at the injury on Shu Xia's forehead and the injuries on her hands, feeling suspicious.

Shu Xia was steady and reliable in everything she did, and she followed traffic rules even more strictly when driving; how could she have such a serious car accident?

"Is the wound big?" Jiang Nannan was worried that Shu Xia would be disfigured. She couldn't bear the thought of Shu Xia's face having even a single scar.

"It's alright. It looks scary, but it's actually nothing. If I take good care of it, it won't leave a scar."

"You really are heartless. Why do I feel like the emperor is calm while the eunuch is anxious? Did your phone break too?" Jiang Nannan sat to the side, chatting casually with Shu Xia.

Shu Xia was very relaxed with Jiang Nannan, "It broke from the fall. I bought a new one and it's on the way; it should be here soon."

There were only the two of them in the ward, and Jiang Nannan glanced at the room and said, "How is Qiao Muting treating you?"

Even after such a car accident, Qiao Muting still had the heart to work?

He really lived up to being a workaholic.

"Quite well," Shu Xia smiled.

Jiang Nannan noticed the change in Shu Xia's expression when she mentioned Qiao Muting.

Oh!

Others might not be able to tell, but she could definitely tell: Shu Xia had fallen for Qiao Muting.

She immediately cast an ambiguous look and said, "Have you fallen for Qiao Muting?"

Although the two were married, Shu Xia had previously said that they were just living together as partners and that there were no feelings involved.

Living under the same roof, if it were just a simple partnership with no real connection, then it would truly be meaningless.

Perhaps because she suddenly thought of her own current predicament with Huo Jingyan, the teasing smile on Jiang Nannan's face stiffened for a moment.

"Forget it, I won't put you on the spot. I was worried about you and went to Qiao Group first, and now I'm starving. Did the doctor say what you can eat? I'll order some takeout."

Jiang Nannan's emotions came and went quickly; after calming down rapidly, she smiled and pulled out her phone to open a food delivery app.

"It's almost noon, and I'm hungry too. Aside from spicy, fried, or inflammatory foods, I can eat anything else," Shu Xia replied.

She had injuries on her body, and inflammatory foods would affect the healing and recovery of the wounds, so it was best for her to avoid them during this time.

Jiang Nannan nodded, "Got it. Let me pick something. I'm not bragging, but I'm very familiar with these delivery apps now; I have a ton of coupons."

"Impressive!"

"That goes without saying."

Half an hour later, various takeout orders were delivered to the ward one after another.

The two had just opened the food and taken a few bites when the ward door was pushed open.

Qiao Muting walked in with his long legs, carrying lunch packed from a hotel.

Seeing Jiang Nannan, he raised his cold, stern eyebrows slightly, "Still here?"

Jiang Nannan hadn't managed to swallow her mouthful of rice, and after hearing Qiao Muting's words, she almost choked. After chewing and swallowing slowly, she responded, speechless, "I plan to stay at the hospital to keep Shu Xia company tonight. You're so busy, you definitely won't have time to take care of her, so I'm duty-bound."

She couldn't have misread it, right?

That look Qiao Muting gave her just now—was he treating her like a third wheel?

Otherwise, why would his first sentence upon seeing her be "still here"?

"No need, I will stay at the hospital tonight," Qiao Muting said coldly.
