Cheng Lang could not understand himself. Was his feelings for Xing Shu really only physical attraction? Why didn’t he feel that way? He seemed to want Xing Shu to be safe and healthy. He only felt at ease when he saw her safe and sound. Even though Xing Shu was glaring at him angrily, he still felt happy. What kind of feeling was this? He did not understand. He did not get it.

After a while, someone brought food over. Cheng Lang fed Xing Shu a few mouthfuls before his cell phone rang. It was Old Master Cheng. “Cheng Lang, why aren’t you home?

The moment Cheng Lang answered the call, Xing Shu leaned back She wanted to avoid the content of their conversation. However, Cheng Lang pinched her chin and stared at her deeply and intensely. He answered Old Master Cheng’s question, “In the hospital.”

Old Master Cheng said, “In the hospital? Are you unwell? I’ll get someone to take care of you.”

Cheng Lang replied, “No, I’m accompanying…” Before he could finish speaking, Xing Shu leaned over and covered his lips. Her eyelashes trembled nervously, and Cheng Lang’s eyes were smiling. As he slowly deepened the kiss, he replied to Old Master Cheng, “It’s fine. It’s a small problem. I’ll be there soon.”

Old Master Cheng said, “Alright. You have to pay attention to small ailments. You’re busy with work all year round and don’t even pay attention to your health, let alone your marriage. When you get married and have a wife, then I don’t have to chase after you every day to show my concern. Hurry back after your checkup. Coincidentally, your Uncle Jin is also here. Let’s discuss the marriage of you and Jin Yue. Don’t let them wait too long.”

“Okay.” Cheng Lang hung up and looked at Xing Shu. “I’ll get someone to take care of you.” He wanted to turn around and leave. But, someone grabbed the corner of his shirt. Xing Shu looked up at him. After a long time, she slowly let go and said, “No need. I’ll go back after the infusion.”

“Stay in the hospital for two days and recuperate.” Cheng Lang looked at the corner of his shirt that was crumpled and softened his tone. “Or do you not want to be hospitalized?”

Xing Shu nodded. She really did not like the hospital. All these years, she had been alone every time she woke up in the hospital. The white walls and white bedsheets made her panic. Most importantly, she knew that Cheng Lang was leaving to return to the Cheng family and discuss his marriage to Jin Yue. How long could their relationship last? She was like a prisoner on death row, feeling the passage of time bit by bit.

Cheng Lang said, “If you don’t want to be hospitalized, go to Manor No. 1. I’ll get Jian Yaochuan to pick you up.”

Xing Shu lowered her eyes. “I want to go back to the apartment.” Her face was very pale. She looked fragile and beautiful, as if she could shatter with a touch. Cheng Lang pressed his chest and suddenly felt a little uncomfortable. He bent down and looked at Xing Shu. “Xing Shu, why are you being awkward?” He was invincible in the corporate world. But at this moment, he could not fathom Xing Shu l s thoughts.

Xing Shu felt weary. She leaned against the head of the bed—closed her eyes— and asked, “President Cheng, isn’t it time we end things?”

Cheng Lang stood by the bed. When he heard this, he felt as if there was a thorn in his heart. The thorn was still drilling in, and it was so painful that he frowned. Immediately, he was furious. He had imagined many things that Xing Shu might say… Such as whether he could stay with her… Or ask him not to go and discuss the marriage with the Jin family. As long as she asked him, he would definitely agree. However, he never expected Xing Shu to say that she wanted to end the relationship.

Cheng Lang could only sigh. As expected of Xing Shu, she was always so clear-headed. He was the one who was not clear-headed now. But looking at Xing Shu t s fragile appearance, Cheng Lang could not bear to flare up at her. He could only pretend not to care and ask, “Do you want to end it?”

Xing Shu nodded vehemently.

A cold glint flashed across Cheng Lang’s eyes. He said, “We’ll see.” Then, he left without hesitation. It was not until he was far away from the ward that Cheng Lang could not hold back his anger and kicked the trash can beside him! He felt very depressed. He had never felt so depressed before. Was it because everything was about to change?

In the Cheng family residence, Old Master Cheng and Old Master Jin were discussing Cheng Lang and Jin Yue. Old Master Cheng smiled and said, “I only acknowledge Jin Yue as my daughter-in-law. Cheng Lang has been busy with work all these years and hasn’t been enlightened in terms of relationships. It’s been hard on Jin Yue.”

Old Master Jin answered with a smile, “What’s there to feel aggrieved about? Jin Yue has been growing up all these years, and the two of them are getting better and better. They rarely make us worry.”

Old Master Cheng nodded. That was the truth. He glanced at the clock beside him and asked the servant, “Go outside and take a look.. Is Cheng Lang’s car back?”
