Sang Li was about to leave when he heard the waiter’s confused voice and stopped.
"What’s the matter?"
"Mr. Sang, sorry, I just noticed that you didn’t eat much of the dishes Miss Chu made. Was it not to your taste?" The waiter spoke truthfully.
Sang Li was surprised: "She made them?"
The waiter nodded: "Last night, she asked me to take her to the kitchen where she had the chef prepare a special dish. I saw her cooking with my own eyes. She said the home-style flavors of Hai City and Jing City are different."
Sang Li frowned.
Why didn’t Chu Yin mention it?
With her personality, she wouldn’t hesitate to ask for a high price for a dish she made.
Thinking that, he waved to the waiter and turned to dial Chu Yin’s number.
A mechanical female voice came from the other end.
"The number you dialed is temporarily unreachable."
Sang Li hesitated for a moment while holding his phone, when Zhou Zhao happened to call.
"Young Master, I’m fine now. I can go back."
"Are you sure? Do you want to say goodbye to everyone?" Sang Li asked.
"No need, it’s a bit odd."
"Mm."
Indeed, it’s a bit odd.
Sang Li hung up the phone and arranged for the plane to go back.
...
Hospital.
Lin Zhiyi made some food and took Xingxing to see Zhou Zhao.
Just as she reached the door of the ward, she saw Liao Yi hurriedly running out.
"Liao Yi, what’s going on?"
"Zhiyi, is there another incident? Zhou Zhao isn’t in the ward? The nurse said he was discharged this morning."
Liao Yi thought it was someone’s scheme again and was sweating profusely in fear.
Lin Zhiyi quickly comforted him: "Don’t worry, I’ll go ask someone to find out."
Just as she turned around, she faced Li Huan and Chen Jin coming her way.
"No need to look for him, he went back with Mr. Sang." Li Huan said.
Lin Zhiyi was slightly surprised: "He just woke up, how did he leave without saying a word?"
Liao Yi chuckled and speculated: "He always says he won’t come back whenever he leaves, but isn’t he always back again? Probably he’ll come back once his wounds heal."
Li Huan glanced at Liao Yi, then at Chen Jin beside him.
"When does he ever say goodbye properly? If he’s truly leaving, he won’t even say a word."
Everyone stayed silent.
Chen Jin suddenly looked at his watch and said calmly, "I have work. I’ll get going first."
After speaking, he left without looking back.
Liao Yi stared at his back, muttering discontentedly.
"Seriously, we’re all friends who faced hardships together, and Chen Jin isn’t even worried, just thinking about work."
Lin Zhiyi observed that Chen Jin was carrying a six-layered food container, with two more layers than the one she brought.
"Assistant Chen might speak indifferently, but he acts quickly."
"Yesterday, after Zhou Zhao’s anesthesia wore off, he listed a bunch of dishes, and Chen Jin went out early to buy them."
Li Huan tugged at the corners of his mouth, with no hint of a smile on his face.
Ah, suddenly losing a friend feels a bit disorienting.
After chatting for a bit, Li Huan was called away by a nurse.
Lin Zhiyi and Liao Yi led Xingxing away.
Just as they descended the stairs, they unexpectedly ran into Liu He.
As soon as Liu He saw Lin Zhiyi, she lightly knocked her head.
"Do you think of me as your mother? You’re getting bolder, even made the old master ill with anger."
Saying that, the rims of Liu He’s eyes reddened.
She was pregnant and emotionally sensitive.
After knocking Lin Zhiyi, she rubbed her forehead.
"If something happens to you, what am I going to do? How will I explain..."
"Mom, explain what?" Lin Zhiyi asked curiously.
"Explain to Lao San!" Liu He said through gritted teeth.
Lin Zhiyi didn’t doubt, given that her mother was genuinely simple-minded.
She laughed and comforted: "He’s got everything under control, no need for you to explain anything."
Liu He breathed a sigh of relief.
"It’s good to see you all are alright."
After speaking, she touched Xingxing’s little face.
Suddenly, she clutched her stomach and frowned.
Lincoln Zhiyi said nervously: "What’s the matter?"
