My Aloof Husband Can't Stop His Devoted Affection-Chapter 666 - 029: Hot
Upon reaching the ward, the nursing staff inside saw the two of them and quickly nodded in greeting. They briefly explained the old gentleman’s condition and then left the ward.
The afternoon sun was very warm and pleasant, pouring in from the room’s window sill, making the entire room very bright and transparent. At the moment, Old Sir Mu was taking a nap. Mu Lezhu moved forward to sit by the side of the bed, gently touching the back of the old gentleman’s hand, with a slight smile on her lips.
Seeing him somewhat improved and safe and sound, she felt somewhat comforted. Her heart was no longer so heavy, her facial expression softened, and the smile in her eyes deepened a bit.
Lu Jingang stood at the door of the room, looking at Old Sir Mu’s kind and gentle manner lying on the bed. This slightly altered his impression of Old Sir Mu. He had previously had business dealings with Old Sir Mu, who had always left him with an impression of being stern and serious, unwavering in the business world. He had a certain respect for the old gentleman in this regard.
"I want to stay here for a while longer to accompany my grandfather more. He just went to sleep not long ago, so he probably won’t wake up for a bit. If you have other things to do, go ahead and take care of them," Mu Lezhu spoke up after sitting for a good while, remembering Lu Jingang was still there. She turned her head to look at him, gently pressed her lips, and spoke slowly.
"Nothing pressing, go ahead and sit." Lu Jingang snapped out of his thoughts, a trace of awkwardness flitting across his face. With an indifferent look, he withdrew his gaze, pursed his lips, and turned to leave for the outer hall of the ward. Just then, a nurse came by with two cups of coffee.
The young nurse blushed involuntarily upon seeing Lu Jingang, feeling somewhat uncontrollably excited inside. Lu Jingang rarely came to the hospital, and since Old Sir Mu had been admitted for a few months, he had only come three or four times. Most crucially, she had never seen him on those occasions. Finally encountering him this time, how could she not be excited and happy?
Even though he was already romantically involved with someone.
But Lu Jingang’s looks, physique, and demeanor — how could a girl in her early twenties withstand such a presence?
"President Lu, here...here’s your coffee." The young nurse tremulously placed the coffee in front of him, her eyes cautiously glancing several times, only seeing his face clearly after several looks.
Lu Jingang cast her a cold glance, picked up the cup, and took a sip. The coffee’s strength seemed not to meet his satisfaction, causing him to frown, yet he said nothing. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝐰𝚎𝕓𝐧𝚘𝘃𝗲𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝕞
"Uh, President Lu, this coffee...for Miss Mu..." The young nurse glanced at the room’s doorway, asking hesitantly.
"Leave it." Lu Jingang indicated with his eyes, not saying more, and continued savoring the cup of coffee that didn’t quite suit his palate.
After setting down the other cup of coffee, the young nurse stepped back a little cautiously, still sneaking peeks at Lu Jingang, seemingly reluctant to leave.
Perhaps noticing her gaze, Lu Jingang turned coldly to look at her, his dense brows still tightly knit: "Anything else?"
"No...nothing." Suddenly being stared down, the young nurse got startled, skipping a heartbeat, and hurriedly shook her head in a flustered manner.
Upon hearing this, Lu Jingang displeasedly averted his gaze. After setting down the cup of coffee in hand, he picked up the other and headed directly into the ward’s bedroom, noticing Mu Lezhu still sitting by the bedside, talking to the sleeping old gentleman. He couldn’t help but squint his icy eyes, walked over, and silently handed the coffee to her: "It’s hot."
