It was cloudy today, the bright and beautiful rays of the sun were blocked by the drifting clouds from time to time. The light and shadows were varied, and as they intersected, it was a breathtaking and beautiful scene.

Qiao man looked at the man on the Sofa who had lit up a new cigarette. The smoke lingered around his body, giving off a hazy and distant feeling. There was a faint sense of maturity and certainty, making him look even more handsome and elegant.

It was like a meticulously drawn landscape painting of Shengshi.

The man seemed to have noticed her gaze and looked up. Their gazes intertwined in the air for a few seconds. In the end, it was Qiao man who moved her gaze away first. She looked flustered.

In order to ease the awkwardness, she blurted out without even thinking, “Ji Yunshen, why are you so addicted to cigarettes? Didn’t your mother say that you hurt your lungs and told you to stop smoking? If you continue smoking like this, aren’t you afraid of aggravating your old lung injury? ”

“So? ” Ji Yunshen put out the cigarette that he had just taken a puff from, his voice low and sexy. “Mrs. Ji just stared at me for so long just to tell me that I’m addicted to smoking? ”

“Please, Mrs. Ji Remembers everything that happened two months ago so clearly. Are you… concerned about me? ”

Qiao man used her hands to comb her hair messily, and her words were hard to come by. “You, you should stop thinking too highly of yourself! I… I want to say that second-hand smoke is very harmful to people. You, you can’t just stay away from me and smoke. ”

“Oh? ” The man suddenly stood up and walked over, one hand holding her chin. “You don’t like me smoking in front of you very much? ”

Qiao man was just trying to find something to say. Just as she was about to explain, she heard the man say, “okay, I’ll remember it. I won’t smoke in front of you in the future. ”

“I’m not that… uh”

Qiao man did not have time to finish speaking when he kissed her lips. The moment he touched her lips, Qiao man felt as if an electric current coursed through her entire body, bringing with it a numbing shudder.

She struggled to push him away, but she realized that she was no match for him at all.

This kiss was different from before. It was very shallow. He only stuck out the tip of his tongue and lingered on her cherry lips, meticulously studying them and carefully exploring them.

It was as if he was tasting them, but also as if he was teasing them. He did not have any intention of going deep.

Perhaps it was because she was used to his wild and passionate kisses, but his sudden actions would make her feel a little uncomfortable. It was as if she had been aroused by sensitive emotions, but she was not satisfied.

Thinking about it carefully, it was an indescribable feeling, and she did not know how to explain it. She only knew that the emotions in her heart were like waves, surging and rolling.

It was also as if she was… … sinking …

A few seconds later, he ended this kiss that was like a dragonfly skimming the surface of the water. He did not have too much infatuation and greed.

Qiao man originally thought that she would feel relieved, but she realized that she did not.

Instead, there was a faint sense of disappointment.

She felt that she might have been possessed, or else she had gone mad.

In short, everything was wrong. Everything was chaotic and changed.

He stood up straight and stepped back a little. “Does the wound still hurt? ”

Qiao man raised her head in shock, even a little in disbelief. She could not believe that the man had turned his kiss into a shallow one just now because she was injured!

“It doesn’t hurt as much as it did yesterday! ”

She lowered her head. The wind blew her black hair, covering her eyes and brows, making it impossible to see the expression on her face clearly.

“MMM, sleep for a while more. I’ve asked Zhang Sao to prepare a nutritious lunch. It will be sent over in a while. ”

She nodded and said, “okay! ”

…

When Qiao Man Woke Up, only Zhang Sao was by her side. She was taking out the soup and rice from the insulated lunch box and placing them on the dining table at the end of the bed. When she saw her open her eyes, she gave a kind smile.

“You’re awake. I’ve brewed some jujube rib soup. It replenishes blood and Qi, and can also speed up the healing of wounds. Drink it while it’s hot! ”

Zhang Sao moved the dining table over. Qiao man looked around the ward for a week, then took the spoon from Zhang Sao’s hands and asked casually, “where is he? ”

“The young master has something to do at the JI residence. He said that you should eat when you wake up and then sleep for a bit. He will be back in about two hours. ”

Qiao man responded with an ‘Oh’ . She scooped up a spoonful of soup, blew it gently a few times, and then put it into her mouth. The delicious taste instantly spread through her taste buds.

“Zhang Sao, this soup is really delicious. ”

Zhang Sao’s lips curled into a smile, showing her motherly love. “If you think it’s delicious, drink more. When I came here, I was still thinking, if you don’t like it, what should I do! ”

“How can that be? I like everything that Zhang Sao makes. ”

Although she knew that this was just a formality, Zhang Sao was still very happy, because of Qiao Man’s understanding and her own luck.

Because everyone knew that not all the daughters of wealthy families had Qiao Man’s gentle and understanding personality. To be able to meet her, she was really very lucky.

After the meal, Zhang Sao left. She lay bored and started to browse Wechat to pass the time.

Just as she was looking at her friends’status in her moments, the door of the ward was pushed open from the outside.

Qiao man did not mind. She thought that a doctor or nurse had come in, but she did not expect it to be Wen Cheng in casual clothes.

“Miss Wen, what’s the matter? ”

Qiao Man put away her phone and sat up. She looked at Wen Cheng, who was sitting across from her with a chair in her hand.

“Well, it’s nothing much. I had a fight with Meng Dongxing, but I don’t have any friends in Lin city, and I don’t have any money on me, and I don’t have anywhere to go, so… I came to look for you. ”

“Miss Wen, Mr. Meng is an arms dealer with a background in the underworld. The bodyguards accompanying him are either killers or international mercenaries. At the very least, there are special forces. Do you really think that he doesn’t know where you are? ”

Of course, Wen Cheng knew that he would know where she was, but she just did not want to be involved with him anymore. Otherwise, she would not have secretly run to Lin city from America alone, nor would she have come to this hospital to be an intern.

“So what if he knows? I won’t go back with him. Since he doesn’t like me, there’s no need for me to be a burden to him. He’s my father’s Godson, not my biological brother. There’s no reason for me to always rely on him. ”

Wen Cheng looked like she had completely lost her love. The corners of her eyes and brows could not hide her sadness. “I think you’re quite good. I want to make friends with you. ”

Qiao man was a little speechless, but she did not know what to say. It was obvious that it was a difficult question whether she should refuse or not.

“Miss Wen, I don’t know what makes you think I’m pretty good. Actually, you should go and read the news or ask about my reputation… ”

Wen Cheng shook her head and interrupted Qiao man with a smile. “Qiao Man, I know you. After you and the patient upstairs were sent to the hospital that day, my colleagues have already told me most of the rumors about you! ”

“At first, I thought that you were having an affair in your marriage, and I was secretly fighting for justice for your husband, but after coming into contact with you, I feel that the probability of you having an affair in your marriage is not very high… ”

Qiao man understood that Wen Cheng wanted to say something but stopped herself. She smiled and said, “is that so? Thank you for believing in me. ”

“I’m sorry, I apologize for the dirty thoughts in my heart at that time. ”

Qiao man did not care at all, as if she was already used to such colored eyes. “It’s okay, it’s not a day or two that I’ve been misunderstood by others. ”
