Chapter 281

Ye Ning: "..."

He actually knew she had gone to see Lin Yebai?

That’s not right. Before she went to see Lin Yebai, she had called him for help, but he didn’t agree, so it was normal for him to know she went to see Lin Yebai.

But what did he mean by that? He knew she went to see Lin Yebai precisely because she didn’t want him to know she was hospitalized, and now he was making such sarcastic remarks?

Ye Ning was a bit displeased, "Are you pretending to be ignorant? I went to see my master so that he wouldn’t find out. How could I possibly go looking for him when I can’t even walk?"

Was that so?

The man still busy at the table thought back about what the child had told him at the restaurant, which seemed to be for the same reason; she wouldn’t let him call that Uncle Lin, but instead called him.

After a moment’s pause, the fingers that had been busy finally stopped.

"Do you want something to eat?"

"Huh?"

Ye Ning, who was waiting for his response, was suddenly thrown off by such an abrupt question.

Do you want something to eat?

Of course, she did. Today she had only had a glass of lemon water at the coffee shop and hadn’t eaten anything else. noveldrama

But right now, she wasn’t hungry; she needed to use the restroom. She was about to burst.

So, she nodded nonchalantly and then proceeded to throw back the bedsheet, preparing to get out of bed...

"What are you doing?"

"I..."

Ye Ning froze on the spot, trying to say something, but at that moment, the man seated in the chair gave another indifferent remark, "You’d better not get out of bed, or you won’t be leaving the hospital tomorrow!"

Ye Ning: "..."

No, she didn’t want to be unable to leave the hospital tomorrow, but she had to go to the restroom; she couldn’t just die on the bed, right?

Therefore, after struggling at the edge of the bed for a moment, she still got off the bed: "I’m just going to the restroom..."

The man sitting beside the small table saw this, frowned slightly but didn’t say anything else.

He was not accustomed to taking care of people, and coming here was already the most "out of character" act he, as a high and mighty young master, had ever done.

Hence, when he saw her saying she needed to go to the restroom, he did not think of doing anything. Frowning, he watched as she unsteadily made her way to the restroom. Once she was out of sight, his gaze returned to his work.

But, no sooner had he returned to his work than two minutes passed when suddenly, from inside the restroom, there was a loud "snap" as if something had fallen to the floor.

Dammit!

She couldn’t have fallen to the floor again, could she?

Sitting there and remembering the ghastly way the woman had just entered, his expression changed in an instant. Without thinking, he put his laptop on the table and quickly headed toward the restroom.

"What happened to you?"

...

Inside the restroom, the person who had barely had time to respond watched as the door was kicked open with a "bang."

So there was Ye Ning, who had just been bending down to pick up the laundry basket that she had accidentally knocked over, suddenly looking up to see the man who had barged in so fiercely!

"What are you doing?"

"I... I..." Ye Ning initially wanted to explain that she had simply accidentally knocked the basket containing the patient clothes onto the floor and was about to pick it up.

But she’d only gotten two words out when the man who had barged in grabbed her by the arm without explanation, yanked her up from the floor, and pulled her into his embrace...
