Chapter 73: Chapter 73 - 73 Just Happening to Pass By

Shen Yushan glared at him angrily, while Gao Changsheng’s arms remained unmoved.

The others laughed uncontrollably; Su Zixi also couldn’t help but snicker.

“Don’t forget we still have a deal to discuss with HI Group tomorrow, I think the money for a bottle of Lafite should be enough,” Su Zixi said seriously.

Shen Yushan finally broke free from Gao Changsheng’s restraint, quite dissatisfied, “Exactly! You guys should look further ahead, we’re talking about HI Group! Could the payment be small? A bottle of Lafite each would definitely be enough, okay? Listen to the team leader, order it!”

Gao Changsheng remained expressionless, “Vice-captain, the problem is that the money won’t hit our account until tomorrow at the earliest. Anyway, I didn’t bring that much money, so don’t expect me to pay the bill!”

Shen Yushan was suddenly at a loss for words.

Su Zixi smiled, “I’ll pay the bill, you guys take your time drinking.”

Having said that, she summoned the waiter, gave an order, and then stood up to leave the private room.

Shen Yushan shouted after her, “Zhixi, where are you going?”

“Got some things to take care of, you guys enjoy yourselves,” Su Zixi waved to them as she left.

…

Su Zixi arrived at Siming Hospital.

After today’s competition ended, it was already late, and she spent another two hours dining with her teammates. So, by the time she reached Siming Hospital, it was already dusk.

Su Zixi couldn’t help but recall the scene she saw at Muyun Hotel today. Su Lianxi’s condition was such that she might not be able to care for Ning Yichen at all.

Thinking that Ning Yichen got hurt because of her, Su Zixi eventually couldn’t settle her mind and came to Siming Hospital as if possessed.

Maybe he would scold her again, she mocked herself in thought.

But it didn’t matter, she only wished to be at peace with her conscience.

Indeed, Ning Yichen was alone in his hospital room. He sat on the bed, holding a tablet and browsing through news, with a slight furrow in his brow.

Ning Yichen’s handsome features were delicate, with very thick eyelashes, emanating a melancholic charm.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Back then, when he lay on the hospital bed, though pale, that look of his was especially heart-stirring. It was simply natural for Su Zixi to fall for him.

However, since his awakening and his time spent with Su Lianxi, those deep feelings had gradually faded. Perhaps there was still a hint of unwillingness and melancholy lingering, but it no longer made her too upset.

Su Zixi was somewhat reluctant to admit that this was due to He Jingyao, but if it weren’t for the emergence of He Jingyao, perhaps she would still be secretly hurt for a long time over a single cold remark from Ning Yichen.

She stood dazed for a while, then walked in.

He looked up at the noise, and his expression immediately darkened, “Why is it you?”

“I happened to be passing by, so I came to check on you,” Su Zixi said indifferently, “Have you had dinner yet?”

“My assistant has already gone to buy dinner, thanks for the concern,” Ning Yichen replied coldly.

So he had an assistant nearby.

Su Zixi breathed a sigh of relief, “That’s good then, I won’t bother you.”

She tactfully turned to leave.

Ning Yichen didn’t expect her to leave so decisively, and blurted out, “Wait.”

Su Zixi looked back in surprise, “Hmm?”

Ning Yichen struggled slightly before finally speaking, “Help me pour a glass of water, please.”

Su Zixi didn’t dwell on the change in his attitude, went to the bedside, poured him a glass of hot water, and handed it to him.

When Ning Yichen took the glass, he noticed Su Zixi’s hand. Her hand was long and delicate, indeed pleasant to look at, but what was different was that Su Zixi’s nails were neatly manicured and had no nail polish. This was unlike Su Lianxi, whose ten fingers were always adorned with beautiful manicures.
