Zuo Zixian originally thought that he could leave just for lunch, but who knew that Ling Yiheng would actually fall ill again, and say that he had a stomachache.
Auntie Yu hurriedly grabbed the medicine and called the doctor. She originally wanted to ask him to go to the hospital, but Ling Yiheng seemed to reject the hospital and refused to go no matter what. She had no choice but to stay.
After a long time, it was after 3 in the afternoon when Ling Yiheng finally recovered. He no longer looked so bad and his stomach was no longer aching.
According to their family's private doctor, he had a previous stomach condition that had a more severe recurrence, which was why it was repeated, but it was not very serious.
Although she said that, when Zuo Zixian thought about how he had ordered so many spicy dishes and made him eat so much, she still felt apologetic, which was why she stayed at his house for so long. It was all because she couldn't let him go.
Seeing that he had already recovered a lot, Zuo Zixian still suggested returning to the hotel.
However, before Ling Yi Heng could say anything, Auntie Yu, who came over to deliver the medicine, advised, "Miss Zuo, it's getting late. I have to go buy vegetables for dinner. Why don't you stay with Mr. Ling?"
Ling Yiheng didn't say anything, but it was clear that this was also his intention. Hearing Auntie Yu's words, a trace of happiness flashed across his face, but he didn't say anything.
"No, Auntie Yu, there's no need to trouble you. I really should go." Zuo Ziqian rejected it immediately, he really did not want to stay any longer. She had a strong premonition that if she continued to stay for dinner, she might not be able to leave tonight. This was not the result she wanted.
Only then did Auntie Yu cast a glance at Ling Yiheng, giving him a helpless look, telling him to deal with Zuo Zixian himself.
Putting down the soup, Auntie Yu sighed and walked out, leaving Ling Yiheng and Zuo Zixian alone in the room.
For a moment, both of them seemed to feel awkward.
By this time, the rain had gradually stopped. In order to get some fresh air, Zuo Zixian helped Ling Yiheng open the window. The air was filled with the fresh scent of grass, mixed with the faint fragrance of flowers, making one feel very comfortable.
The two of them looked out of the window at the same time. It was unknown if it was because they couldn't bear to break this cozy peace, or because they didn't know what to say, neither of them spoke up.
After about ten minutes, Zuo Zisheng finally broke the silence.
"I'm going back to the hotel. Take care of yourself." After saying that, she turned around and prepared to leave.
Just as she was about to step out of the room, the phone Ling Yiheng had placed on the bedside table rang.
She was shocked and stopped in her tracks.
The man received the call. His expression turned cold, and immediately seemed like he was immersed in his work. He only replied with a few words.
"Mm, alright, I understand."
"Okay, I'll be there on time tonight."
This time, Zuo Zizhen heard it clearly, he actually wanted to go out at night to get some drinks, and it was very likely that he was going to drink.
As expected, the moment he hung up, he saw him get off the bed. He quickly grabbed a suit and placed it on the bed. Apparently, he was going to wear it at night.
Zuo Zisheng hesitated, but still asked him: "You're going out tonight?"
The man merely glanced at her and nodded. "Mm, I have an important partner to meet."
Then he added, "I'll take you back to the hotel after I change."
He had originally wanted to ask her to come down and eat, but the situation now seemed to imply that she couldn't stay any longer. He had already pushed the issue of the company's dining table aside time and time again. Furthermore, the partnership case had a lot of profits. He couldn't possibly continue to not give face to the other party.
Zuo Zi Wu immediately frowned, "Who is so important? Your stomach has just recovered and your body is still weak. How can you go out and eat whatever you want? Furthermore, you have to drink at a party, so you can't drink right now either. "
She did not realize that her tone of concern for him was like that of a wife worrying about her husband.
Ling Yiheng was so amused by her tone that he wanted to laugh, but he tried his best to hold back his laughter.
"I'll pay attention." He didn't seem to care about it at all, which made Zuo Zixian unhappy. He didn't like him not cherishing his body so much.
Gritting her teeth, she thought for a moment before saying something she was somewhat regretful about, "How about, I'll go with you."
The man raised his eyebrows and slightly narrowed his beautiful black eyes. He was extremely suspicious of the hallucinations that appeared in his ears. "You're coming with me?"
His voice rose slightly in question and joy. Because this was the first time she had ever offered to go to a party with him. If it was in the past, she would not have been able to attend parties with him, and would have avoided him whenever she could.
He knew that it was too late to regret it now, so he could only bite the bullet and look at him guiltily, "That's right, I was afraid that you might have stomach problems from drinking or eating too much, so I had to watch over you." She paused, then added, "Don't think too much about it. I just feel sorry for the illness I gave you last night. I don't want anything to happen to you again."
However, the words that she added after that all seemed to have the same meaning; it was hard to not think too much about it.
The man's brows relaxed, revealing a faint smile. His eyes were clear and deep, as if he was intentionally going against her. "I'm an adult now. I know how to take care of myself. I don't need you to feel so guilty."
He wanted to see if this girl could be more honest. Was it so hard to admit that she cared about him?
"What about adults? Who knows if you'll forget your body for work? I... I just want to look at you. "
"No, I can call a doctor even if something happens."
"No, how can you call a doctor?"
"Don't worry, I've always taken care of myself. As long as I don't eat spicy food, I'll be fine."
With this sentence, Zuo Ziqian was blocked. He was so stifled that he didn't know how to respond. However, he still wasn't willing to accept it in his heart.
It wasn't that she couldn't tell that Ling Yiheng was opposing her, but she couldn't stop worrying. She couldn't help but feel anxious, "I just want to go with you. Your body is so weak right now, you can't take care of yourself!"
The words that came out of her mouth made even herself unable to believe it. Ling Yiheng also didn't know whether to laugh or to cry. She faced a man who was nearly 1.9 meters tall, whose figure was several times bigger than her, and calmly said that he was weak. No one would believe her if she put it in their ears, right?
However, Ling Yiheng had actually been tricked!
In the end, that Miss Zuo who said that Ling Yiheng was very weak really went with Ling Yiheng to the dinner party.
However, this time, there was someone that Zuo Ziqian didn't expect -- Wen Xiwei, Zhou Heng went to pick them up, so when Zuo Zixian and Ling Yiheng got on the car, they saw Wen Xiwei already sitting inside.
Zuo Ziqian unconsciously thought back to the scandal between Wen Xiwei and Ling Yiheng, and he felt a little upset in his heart.
He didn't know what Ling Yiheng meant by that. Did he like having two girls accompany him to the dining table, or was he just not interested in the scandal?
However, this was his decision, so it wasn't good for her to say anything. Moreover, this time, she was the one who rushed over, even though she regretted it to death in her heart.
This time, Ling Yiheng's partner was a northerner from the north. He was very passionate and straightforward, and he seemed to be a very easy person to get along with. The other party had also brought two other people along. They were both executives of the other company, but they were a man and a woman. They were both veterans of the wine table. They knew how to stir up the mood and observe the situation.
Seeing that Ling Yiheng was late, they gave each other a wink. They had actually given each other three cups of wine for the reason that they were early. This was also the beginning of the dinner.
Although Zuo Zixian usually studied red wine a lot, she knew a little about white wine, so she could tell how strong the alcohol they drank was just from smelling it. It was not inferior to the highest concentration of vodka.
Just as her heart was thumping, she saw Wen Xia Wei take the initiative to help Ling Yiheng toast. She was able to easily handle the two men and one woman's drinking skills, and even after drinking several cups, she still maintained a calm expression.
Only now did she understand why Ling Yiheng wanted to bring Wen Wei over. If it was her, she wouldn't even be able to last two cups.
When all the beers were gone, the man and woman said with a smile, "I have long heard that this Miss Wen has an amazing capacity for alcohol. I have seen her well-deserved reputation today!" But it would be unfair for you and me to drink with you alone. Come, come, come, let's toast to Director Ling! "
Just as he finished speaking, that man stood up with his own glass of wine and said to Ling Yiheng, "Director Ling, I will do it as a form of respect!"
Zuo Zixian, who hadn't spoken for a long time, saw the man finish that glass of strong alcohol in one gulp, and couldn't help but immediately look at Ling Yiheng, wanting him to stop drinking.
The usual unapproachable aura of Ling Yiheng had dissipated a lot at the dining table. Seeing the other party drink it, he did not refuse, and picked up the wine cup beside him, ready to return the compliment.
But the moment he raised his cup, it was immediately snatched away by the nimble Zuo Zisheng. He did not care what the occasion was now, and his almond eyes immediately popped out, "Don't drink, this wine is too strong!"
As soon as she finished speaking, everyone's gaze seemed to have gathered on her.
