"What?" Ruan Zheng Mei who was already prepared to enter the ward frowned and turned around.
Lin Wan Bai had just watched the other party stand up from his chair filled with dignity, and wasn't able to hold his cool in the end. At this moment, he stared intently into the other party's eyes, and purposefully said meaningfully, "You know what I'm referring to!"
Ruan Zheng Mei felt somewhat uncomfortable being stared at by her sharp gaze, and even a bit guilty. But as the matriarch of the Lu family, her face quickly returned to normal, and she gave a tepid laugh, "Hehe, I don't know what you're talking about!"
"I'm sorry, please forgive me for not sending you out, but I still need to go back and take care of my husband!" With that said, Ruan Zheng Mei turned and entered the sickroom.
Lin Wan Bai watched as the door to the ward closed before him, and slowly withdrew his gaze.
Besides being impatient, he also wanted to test the waters and see what Ruan Zheng Mei's reaction would be.
Although she felt that there was something fishy and confused, but even if the other party knew about it, it was understandable that she did not tell Lu Xue Lin. But for some reason, she couldn't help but think about it.
The night was dim, and the moon hung high in the night sky.
Lin Wan Bai was sitting in the living room watching TV with his pillow in his arms. While he was yawning, the sound of Aunt Li's footsteps came from behind, "Miss Lin, mister hasn't come back yet?"
"Nope." She shook her head.
In the past few days, he had always been accompanying her in the hospital. Although Jiang Fang had sent many documents over for review, there were still a lot of official matters piled up. He did not come back to eat in the evening, and had always been working overtime at the company.
Looking at the kitchen, Lin Wan Bai could not help but exclaim, "Aunt Li, heat up the food again, I think it's already cold!"
Aunt Li exclaimed before saying to her, "Miss Lin, it's best if you rest early! Mister specifically told me that you have just left the hospital and are still recovering. You should pay more attention! "
"Alright!" Lin Wan Bai replied with a smile.
She knew about this matter. After returning from the hospital in the morning, Huo Chang Yuan was like an old lady as he instructed the Aunt Li to take good care of him.
When he turned off the television and stood up, Lin Wan Bai took the opportunity to look at the time. It was almost 9: 30 PM, and he had previously said that he would be back at about this time.
She thought about holding her cell phone and called him while she went upstairs.
He did not expect the system's female voice to notify him that the other party had turned off their phone.
Lin Wan Bai frowned. He first went to the children's room to cover the sleeping little bun with the blanket that he kicked off, then went back to his bedroom to wash up. He avoided the cut of the knife to wipe his body and laid on his bed to read a book.
She got out of bed and looked out the window. The white Land Rover was still missing from the yard.
Huo Chang Yuan actually still hasn't returned...
Lin Wan Bai did not wait for him, how could he sleep? He could not help but call him again, thinking that if he turned off his phone again, he would directly call Jiang Fang, but this time he got through.
"Hello, who is this?"
A delicate female voice came over the line.
Lin Wan Bai was startled, he could not help but look at the screen of his phone, and started to suspect that he dialed the wrong number, but the number that was displayed on it was indeed "Huo Chang Yuan".
"Who are you?" She immediately sat up straight and asked, "Where's Huo Chang Yuan?!"
The female voice carried two tender laughs as she replied unhurriedly, "Hutong has gone to the washroom. I don't have time to answer the phone right now!"
Lin Wan Bai clenched his teeth, and directly called.
After closing her eyes, she went back to her bed with a "bang" sound, but she felt that something was wrong, and she also believed that Huo Chang Yuan was not that kind of person. After taking two deep breaths, she sat up and dialed the number again.
Almost at the same time she dialed, it was picked up, and this time it was a quiet male voice, "Wangwen!"
"Where are you now?"
"I'm at the North Shore Club."
Hearing that, Lin Wan Bai's temple beat even faster.
It was no wonder that she could hear the music and the voices of the women clearly. Huo Chang Yuan continued to speak on the phone, "I'll call a substitute right now, I'll go home immediately. I'll tell you about it when we reach home!"
"..." "Got it!" Lin Wan Bai pursed his lips.
When she heard the sound of a car engine in the yard, she turned off the lights and pulled the quilt over her face.
Not long after, there was the sound of footsteps coming up the stairs, then the sound of a door opening and closing.
Huo Chang Yuan turned on the light, saw a smile plastered on his lips, walked over and sat on the side of the bed, then pulled down the blanket. With a bad mood, he pinched her nose, "I know you're not asleep!"
Lin Wan Bai could not breath, he had no choice but to open his eyes.
"The smell of alcohol!" Frowning, she brushed his hand away in frustration, and asked without holding back, "Isn't it working overtime? Overtime can actually be added to the club, who's the woman who answered the phone? "
"Just for the drinks." Huo Chang Yuan explained.
When he arrived at the club, he found that his phone was out of battery. He asked the waiter for a charger and went to the washroom. Unexpectedly, she called him after automatically switching on the phone.
The girl kept winking at him, but he didn't even look at her. After swearing and rolling away, he was prepared to call her back when she called again.
He had already guessed that she could eat, so he couldn't help but smile.
"You …"
Lin Wan Bai was so angry that he wanted to speak, but he suddenly said, "Si Nian is back."
"Dr. Qin is back?" She couldn't help but be surprised, but then he happily said, "That Xiaoyu, did he come back with him?"
Now that she knew Qin Si Nian had returned, she thought that the two must have made up their minds; that she could see her best friends again, and that there was no need for them to be on opposite sides.
However, Huo Chang Yuan shook his head, "He's alone."
"…" Lin Wan Bai was stunned.
Huo Chang Yuan's eyebrows slightly furrowed, and continued: I also worked overtime to prepare to leave the company, but I received a call from Si Nian! He had just come back from South Africa, and by the time I got there he had drunk the whole bottle of XO and was lying drunk on the sofa. "
After Lin Wan Bai heard this, he finally understood why he was at the Club, and the so called drinking lady should be found by the intoxicated Young Master Qin.
She went silent for a while, and then spoke up again, "Huo Chang Yuan, Dr. Qin originally chased Xiaoyu to South Africa, and also said that she wouldn't be able to escape his grasp. But now that he's back alone, does that mean he and Xiaoyu …"
"I'm afraid fate will not make any difference." Huo Chang Yuan frowned.
"…" Lin Wan Bai's heart tensed up.
She had asked this kind of question more than once. Previously, he had only maintained his silence, but now, he had said it this way, which meant that between Qin Si Nian and Qin Si Nian, there was no longer any leeway for them to get out of this situation …
