Chapter 381

"Alright!"

Ye Ning agreed with a sign of relief in her heart at last.

Indeed, she had stayed up very late last night. She remembered that it was past three o’clock when she sent out the last email, then, overcome by exhaustion, she fell asleep at her desk.

So, it made sense that she hadn’t heard them leave this morning.

After the nurse left, she went to the restroom in the next room to wash up. After getting cleaned up and changing her clothes, she finally opened the door and stepped out of the room.

Initially, she wanted to go straight to the medical station at the front, but as soon as she stepped out, she saw a silver Passat parked at the gate facing the street.

And the man in the car, after she caught a glimpse of him, her steps abruptly halted.

He was a young man wearing gold-rimmed glasses, with handsome and refined features, emanating a faint scholarly aura. Such a person would give off the impression of being very easy-going and pleasant at first glance.

But now, that wasn’t the case; although his facial expression didn’t change much, the eyes behind his glasses were glaring at her icily, as cold as can be, since she had emerged from the room.

Ye Ning stopped, feeling a moment of panic, but soon, upon recalling certain matters, she calmed down, and then quietly returned his steady gaze.

She actually didn’t know what she had done wrong. If she had to pinpoint a mistake, it might simply be disobedience, disrupting his entire plan.

"Ning, come quickly, he’s already been checked."

"Alright!" noveldrama

Standing there, she responded, and after a moment, her gaze withdrew from him and she made her way to the medical station across the way.

Upon arrival at the medical station, sure enough, Ou Mucen, who had completed his check-up, was already sitting there, clutching his abdomen, waiting for her.

Seeing him, she quickly approached: "How are you? Did the doctor say there was anything wrong?"

Ou Mucen shook his head. He tried to say something, but when her hand reached out to support him, he felt her astonishingly cold hands and looked at her suspiciously: "What’s wrong? Why are your hands so cold?"

Cold?

Ye Ning momentarily avoided his gaze, then quickly placed her hands on him over his clothes. She hurriedly explained, "My hands are cold because I washed them when I came here; the water is still a bit chilly in the morning."

"Really?"

"Yeah, it’s nothing. I’ll just put on some more clothes when I get back. So, did the doctor prescribe any medication today?" Ye Ning tried to divert the subject.

Fortunately, he didn’t seem too suspicious. Hearing her inquire about medication, he handed her his prescription. Then, they supported each other to the pharmacy, picked up the medication and injections, and together left the medical station to return to their small living quarters.

They didn’t look outside the courtyard on their way back.

However, once back in their little room, she stood there thinking for a while, and in the end, she still came over with the small basket filled with medication and injections: "Let me hang the IV for you first. The doctor said you can eat something today, how about I get you some noodles?"

Noodles?

Ou Mucen didn’t think much of it. After lying down, he began to go through her work from the previous day on his laptop: "Whatever you want!"

So, Ye Ning squatted beside him and carefully hung the IV bag for him, and only then was she ready to leave...
