Chapter 1543: Caught in Someone's Grip

But Wang Sinian's mouth remained unforgiving: "You woman, you really can't handle the truth. Since you're hospitalized this time, you should take the opportunity to lose some weight."

"I don't need you to worry about it. Since you've already brought me to the Hospital, why haven't you left yet?"

"Leave? And leave you in the Hospital to fend for yourself? Someone has to help you with the paperwork and note down the Doctor's instructions."

"Xin'ai is here!"

Liu Xin'ai had already been watching the spectacle from the side for a long time.

Hearing Xu Xiaoxiao mention her name, she hurriedly explained: "Um, I only just arrived too. As for what happened before, it's all thanks to Mr. Wang for running around for you."

Upon hearing this, Wang Sinian immediately became smug: "Look at her, her conduct is generous and appropriate, and she speaks objectively, unlike some people..."

As Wang Sinian said this, he even glanced at "some person."

There was disdain in his eyes.

Xu Xiaoxiao pursed her lips and, suppressing her anger, said: "I'm sick right now, don't add to my troubles!"

"Oh."

Wang Sinian replied, and surprisingly, he really stopped talking.

But Xu Xiaoxiao didn't believe Wang Sinian could become obedient just because of one sentence from her.

He... must be brewing his next round of sarcasm and mockery in his heart!

Xu Xiaoxiao had to think of a way to make this guy shut up.

It would be best if she could make him leave here too!

Seeing Xu Xiaoxiao's eyes rolling around, Wang Sinian frowned.

The next second, he leaned in front of Xu Xiaoxiao and tapped her forehead with his finger, warning: "The doctor told you to rest well, so stop thinking about useless things in that head of yours!"

Xu Xiaoxiao slapped Wang Sinian's hand away.

The next second, she went with the flow: "Right, I can't think about you anymore."

Xu Xiaoxiao's original intention was to mock Wang Sinian, feeling that he was useless.

However...

Wang Sinian looked completely awkward hearing that.

He even used thirst as an excuse to turn around.

Because she was lying down, Xu Xiaoxiao didn't see what emotional changes Wang Sinian had after turning his back.

But Liu Xin'ai saw it!

She saw that Wang Sinian's... ears were a little red.

Heh, interesting!

Liu Xin'ai felt she had understood something again.

But after the previous misunderstanding, Liu Xin'ai didn't want to jump to conclusions rashly this time.

She... needed to watch a bit more.

Because Xu Xiaoxiao had to be hospitalized for 24 hours of observation, Liu Xin'ai wanted to stay with her the whole time.

But Xu Xiaoxiao refused, even resorting to throwing a tantrum, and in the end, Liu Xin'ai left the Hospital.

The ward quieted down, and Xu Xiaoxiao prepared to rest.

But perhaps because she had slept too much during the day, Xu Xiaoxiao was actually very energetic at night.

After staring at the ceiling for a long time, Xu Xiaoxiao decided to get out of bed and walk around.

Pacing back and forth in the room was boring too.

After considering it for only a moment, Xu Xiaoxiao carefully walked out of the ward and then slowly moved forward along the corridor.

There was almost no one in the corridor at night.

Occasionally someone would pass by, their footsteps going from far to near beside Xu Xiaoxiao, and then disappearing.

Xu Xiaoxiao didn't pay them any mind, just walking alone with focus.

After about ten minutes, Xu Xiaoxiao felt tired, so she turned around to go back to the ward.

But suddenly her knees went weak, and her body was about to collapse!

Fortunately, someone grabbed Xu Xiaoxiao's arm in time.

Xu Xiaoxiao let out a long breath and looked up to thank them.

But just as she looked up...

"Jiang Chenghao?"

The person standing in front of Xu Xiaoxiao at this moment was none other than Jiang Chenghao.

But Jiang Chenghao looked travel-worn, as if he had just finished a journey.

That was indeed the case; Jiang Chenghao had just returned from a business trip.

His eyes were fixed intently on Xu Xiaoxiao: "After I got off the plane, I couldn't get through to your phone, and it wasn't until I contacted your friend that I found out you were hospitalized. You, why didn't you tell me sooner?"

When Jiang Chenghao heard the news, he was extremely anxious; he didn't even have time to ask for more details before rushing to the Hospital.

However, Xu Xiaoxiao felt his description wasn't accurate, so she said: "Called? That shouldn't be right, I..."

As she spoke, Xu Xiaoxiao took out her phone to check.

And upon looking, she discovered that someone had set her phone to silent mode.

No wonder she didn't know Jiang Chenghao had called.

Xu Xiaoxiao smiled embarrassedly.

Then she said: "After I woke up, I didn't check my phone, and it was on silent. I'm sorry I didn't know you called me in time."

"Silly, there's no need to apologize for that."

I don't know if it was Xu Xiaoxiao's imagination, but Jiang Chenghao's eyes were very gentle at that moment.

His gaze was softly wrapped around Xu Xiaoxiao.

It was as if he were gazing at a precious treasure...

No, I cannot keep fantasizing like this.

How ridiculous!

Xu Xiaoxiao hurriedly lowered her eyes and changed the subject: "Um, I'm fine, and I'm not hospitalized; I'm just staying to have some tests done."

Jiang Chenghao did not believe this explanation.

Otherwise, how would one explain her being so weak just now that she almost fell?

However, he did not argue with Xu Xiaoxiao.

At this moment, he only wanted to spend more time with Xu Xiaoxiao.

However...

"I was wondering why I didn't see you in the ward; so you snuck out!"

Hearing this voice, Xu Xiaoxiao instinctively frowned: "Why are you still here?"

When Xu Xiaoxiao told Liu Xin'ai to go home, Wang Sinian had also quietly walked out of the ward.

So, Xu Xiaoxiao had assumed at the time that this guy had also left.

She didn't expect... that he was actually still here!

He really is like a ghost that won't go away!

Wang Sinian saw the lack of welcome in the depths of Xu Xiaoxiao's eyes.

But he didn't mind; instead, he said as a matter of course: "Because you have to take your medicine on time."

"The nurse will remind me."

"Then why hasn't the nurse come to remind you now?"

This really couldn't be blamed on the nurse for neglecting her duties.

It was Wang Sinian who told them he would personally watch Xu Xiaoxiao take her medicine, which was why he had taken the medicine bottle over.

But seeing Jiang Chenghao at this moment...

Wang Sinian deliberately concealed the cause and, lifting his chin, stared over with a slightly provocative look.

Jiang Chenghao's expression remained as usual.

He looked at the medicine bottle in Wang Sinian's hand and said, "Let me take care of Xiao Xiao."

Wang Sinian had no intention of giving it up, raised an eyebrow, and said, "You are a busy man with important affairs; it is better to leave the task of taking care of people to an idle person like me."

"Taking care of Xiao Xiao is not an idle task."

"But can you handle it? Mr. Jiang seems to have just returned from a business trip; if you stay up all night taking care of someone without resting... aren't you afraid that you will be the next one to collapse?"

Wang Sinian was very good at manipulating people's hearts.

At the very least, Xu Xiaoxiao's heart had been manipulated by him.

At this moment, how could she bear to let Jiang Chenghao stay any longer?

She immediately said: "I will go back to sleep after my walk, and I will be discharged when I wake up tomorrow, so no one needs to stay!"

Discharged tomorrow?

Wang Sinian frowned at once: "Xu Xiaoxiao, are you crazy? Did the doctor tell you that you could be discharged?"

"I am just staying to have some tests done."

"But that is not what the doctor said!"

"I am a doctor myself, so I can judge."

"Ha, a doctor? It's a good thing you don't have to treat patients, otherwise you would be a total quack!"

Wang Sinian wanted to make Xu Xiaoxiao stay obediently in the Hospital, so his tone was a bit nasty.

Li Beijue's expression darkened in an instant; he stood up abruptly and strode toward the outside.
