The newcomer breathed cautiously, seemingly afraid to disturb the sleeping Lin Ruoxi on the bed.

Yang Chen recognized that the footsteps weren't Wang Ma's, so he turned his head in confusion, only to be dumbfounded by the person who entered.

"Why are you here?!" Mo Qian Ni asked in surprise, her cute eyes widening.

"That's what I wanted to ask. How did you end up here?" Yang Chen frowned. After all, his relationship with Lin Ruoxi had always been kept secret. If Mo Qian Ni found out, it might bring unnecessary trouble to both of them.

Just as the two were puzzled, the door was opened again. Wang Ma walked in, pulling a suitcase, and smiled, "Miss Mo, this is the gentleman I mentioned. Miss could only get through this because of him."

"Wang Ma..." Mo Qian Ni pointed at Yang Chen incredulously, almost exclaiming, "You... you said Yang Chen is Ruoxi's husband?!"

"What's the matter? Surprised?" Since Wang Ma had spilled the beans, Yang Chen didn't see the need to hide anything more. He smirked and asked, "Or is it because your heart is broken, realizing you don't have a chance anymore with a great man like me?"

"Tsk!" Mo Qian Ni gritted her teeth, fuming, "I'm just wondering how Ruoxi suddenly got married without a word, and she chose you, a scoundrel, as her husband! You must have used some scheme or trickery!"

Seeing the two immediately at odds, Wang Ma hurriedly intervened, "Alright, alright, Miss Mo, Sir, we're still in the hospital. You're both Miss's closest people, so let's keep calm and be amicable."

Yang Chen shrugged and asked, "Wang Ma, why did you come here with her?"

Wang Ma smiled and explained, "On my way home to get the luggage just now, Miss Mo called to ask if Miss was at home. Sir may not know, but Miss Mo and Miss have known each other for a long time, even when the old lady was still around, they often spent time together. They also work together at Yu Lei now. Their relationship is very good. Miss Mo used to come to our house for dinner often, but she visited less frequently after the old lady passed away. So when Miss Mo asked about this, I didn't hide it. When Miss Mo heard that Miss was hospitalized, she insisted on coming with me to see her."

Unexpectedly, Mo Qian Ni and Lin Ruoxi were actually best friends. It made sense; Yang Chen had noticed that his wife and his boss seemed to get along well at work, but he didn't expect them to have such a close relationship outside of the office.

"Thank you, Miss Mo, for your concern. Ruoxi is fine now. If you're tired, you can rest assured and go back to sleep," Yang Chen said.

Mo Qian Ni rolled her eyes at Yang Chen. Although she was still annoyed and frustrated that someone like him could become the CEO's husband, now wasn't the time to discuss such matters. She walked to the bedside and carefully examined Lin Ruoxi's pale face, worriedly saying, "You go sleep if you want, I'll stay here with Ruoxi."

"That's right," Mo Qian Ni said. "When I was little, it was Ruoxi's grandmother, the former CEO, who helped me. Ruoxi is my good friend and also the kin of my benefactor. I absolutely won't allow anyone to harm her!"

Ignoring Mo Qian Ni's wary look, Yang Chen continued, "Since you've known each other for so long, do you think Ruoxi is smart, or are you smarter?"

"She's smart," Mo Qian Ni said decisively, giving Yang Chen a glare. "Although I don't like to admit it, she's always been better than me at everything since we were kids. I just want to do my part and help her with her work."

"Do you think she wouldn't think of what you want? I married her for a reason, and her reasons have nothing to do with you," Yang Chen said.

Mo Qian Ni gritted her teeth. "Fine, if you won't talk, then don't. Your reasoning is completely twisted. You insult people without using dirty words. Don't think that just because you've become Ruoxi's husband, I can't deal with you. I'm still your boss!"

"I just occasionally play some high IQ games, chat with the girls during leisure time, do some counseling. Don't give me trouble, and I won't bother with you either." Yang Chen shook his head and stood up. "It's late now, I have things to do tomorrow. Miss Mo, if you want to go home, I can give you a ride. If you want to stay, remember not to catch a cold." With a strange smile, he glanced at Lin Ruoxi on the bed and walked out of the room without looking back.

Mo Qian Ni clenched her fists and wanted to curse at Yang Chen's retreating figure, but ultimately restrained herself.

After Yang Chen left, Mo Qian Ni sighed, feeling it wasn't worth getting angry over someone like him. She reached out and held Lin Ruoxi's hand on the bed, murmuring to herself, "Ruoxi, how could you choose such a scoundrel as your husband? Even if it's just to deceive others, you don't have to torture yourself like this..."

"It's actually not that bad..."

Mo Qian Ni was taken aback and looked up. Lin Ruoxi had opened her eyes at some point. Although she looked tired, she was awake, her gaze soft as she looked at Mo Qian Ni.

"Ruoxi, you're awake? When did you wake up?" Mo Qian Ni was pleasantly surprised.

Lin Ruoxi faintly smiled, showing her closeness to Mo Qian Ni, one of the few people she considered a friend. "I woke up when he left."

"So you woke up early and waited for him to leave on purpose?" Mo Qian Ni couldn't help but smile wryly.

"As long as he's here, I dare not wake up." Lin Ruoxi's eyes flickered with a hint of complexity. After speaking, she didn't say much more and closed her eyes again to rest.CHeCk for new stories on no/v/el/bin(.)c0m
