That sounded like Ji Mingqian’s voice.

Before he could wonder, a slender figure burst in from outside the door, in a hurry.

Being the closest to the door, Wei Xi saw the person who suddenly charged in and almost doubted whether he was having a hallucination.

Overwhelmed by shock, his tongue tied in knots, "Wi-Wi-Wif... Wife."

How long had it been since she finished the call? How could the wife arrive so quickly—could she teleport?

"Hi, good evening," Ji Mingqian followed through the door. Seeing Wei Xi’s horrified expression, he reached out and patted his shoulder.

Worried about Li Mochan all the way, Ye Jiuliang had eyes only for the man sitting on the hospital bed and didn’t notice someone else nearby for a moment.

She came to the bedside, her cold gaze meticulously assessing the man’s injuries, and finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Why are you running so fast? Slow down," Li Mochan grabbed her hand, pulling her to sit down beside the bed.

He knew he couldn’t count on her to stay obediently in Beijing—the promises always ended up breaking when it came to her.

There she went again, running over without him knowing.

He lifted his hand and gently arranged her slightly disheveled hair; the hint of coldness in his eyes quietly dissipated, "Did Wei Xi tell you?"

In the distance, Wei Xi silently hung his head, trying to make himself as unnoticeable as possible.

Would the master settle scores with him after autumn?

"Don’t try to change the subject," Ye Jiuliang glanced at him, humming lightly, "What happened with the car accident, who hit you?"

Over the phone, Wei Xi only mentioned the other car hitting his, but didn’t clarify the whole situation. 𝑓𝓇𝘦ℯ𝘸𝘦𝑏𝓃𝑜𝘷ℯ𝑙.𝑐𝑜𝓂

"Are you that mad?" Li Mochan couldn’t help but chuckle as he bent his finger and lightly scratched her nose tip, "Planning to take revenge for me?"

Ye Jiuliang arched her brows, her voice cold yet tinged with determination, "If it was deliberate, then of course we can’t let it slide easily—beating him up would be getting off light."

Hong Li looked at the girl who threatened to beat up his boss, his expression indescribably strange.

This little girl was quite fierce.

"Sorry to disturb," a gentle voice suddenly interrupted.

Only then did Ye Jiuliang realize there were others in the room.

Following the voice, a familiar face came into her view.

It was him again.

She raised an eyebrow and subtly shifted her gaze away.

"You are?" she asked, feigning confusion.

"I am Mo Yuan, the CEO of Mo Group. Tonight’s car accident was an accident, not intentional. I am very sorry for that," encountering the woman’s clear and bright cold eyes, Mo Yuan couldn’t help but soften his voice, feeling an inexplicable familiarity looking at this young woman.

"If you need any compensation, you can mention it, and I’ll try my best to comply as an apology from me."

Hearing him emphasize the words "not intentional," Ji Mingqian almost couldn’t hold back his laughter.

Was he afraid Ajiu would beat him up? This CEO of Mo Group was quite interesting.

Ye Jiuliang glanced at his wounded body, remembering the first time they met and he was injured too. The corners of her lips curled up into a barely noticeable smile.

"Not intentional?"

Mo Yuan nodded, a helpless smile on his lips, "I’ve never had any dealings with Mr. Li, what could possibly be worth the risk of a deliberate act at the cost of my life?"

Ye Jiuliang’s lips curved, her words intriguing as she said, "Really?"

Mo Yuan paused, unsure whether she believed him or not.

"Li Mochan, I brought the people here. I’ll be leaving first then," Ji Mingqian threw his backpack on the couch, eager to get away.

Wei Xi quickly followed, "Master, rest well, I’ll also head out."

In less than a few seconds, the two slipped away faster than rabbits, vanishing in the blink of an eye.

Suddenly, only the four of them were left in the hospital room.

The atmosphere abruptly sank into silence.

Mo Yuan glanced at Ye Jiuliang and tactfully said, "Then we won’t bother you any longer, we’ll be off."

Hong Li, pushing the wheelchair, left, and on his way out, he conveniently closed the door behind him.

Ye Jiuliang took off her shoes and sat cross-legged on the bed, "It really wasn’t intentional?"

Li Mochan gave a nonchalant hum and extended his hand to her, "Come here."

"Li Fifth Master, can you at least behave? You still have an IV hooked up," Ye Jiuliang glanced at him and curled her lips into a raffish smile.

"The IV is almost done, it’s just a scratch, no big deal," he said, making a move as if to pull out the IV.

Ye Jiuliang frowned and set her face, "Li Mochan, if you pull that IV out, believe it or not, I’m gonna deal with you right now."

Li Mochan’s hand stiffened, he lifted his gaze to look at her, his thin lips curving slightly, "Then you come over."

Ye Jiuliang rolled her eyes at him but still moved closer to him as he had wanted.

As soon as she got close, he pulled her into his embrace, and Ye Jiuliang found a comfortable position to lean against him.

She tilted her head back, looking at the bruise on his forehead, and gently touched it with her hand.

"Does it hurt?"

Li Mochan’s lips curled lightly, "Will you blow on it for me?"

After a silence, Ye Jiuliang said somberly, "...Li Mochan, when did you become so childish?"

"A man is known by the company he keeps," Li Mochan said, his gaze on her turning intriguing, his deep voice slightly hoarse.

Ye Jiuliang’s mouth twitched, and she raised her hand to pinch his arm, "Who are you calling childish?"

He was clearly implying she was childish, and even with an injury, he still had a sharp tongue.

"Ouch," Li Mochan hissed, pretending to be vulnerable for once.

His little tricks might fool others, but deceiving Ye Jiuliang was another story.

"Li Mochan, keep making things up," she scoffed. She hadn’t even applied any force, and he was complaining for nothing.

Having been seen through, Li Mochan coughed lightly and smoothly changed the subject, "Have you had dinner yet?"

Ye Jiuliang shook her head and took out her phone to order delivery, "What would you like to eat?"

Li Mochan reached out and took her phone, redialing Wei Xi’s number, "It’ll be faster if Wei Xi brings it over."

Delivery here wasn’t as fast as in the capital; at best, it would take more than half an hour.

Ye Jiuliang chuckled. Seeing that his IV was nearly finished, she sat up straight, reached out for the medicine box beside her, and personally removed the IV for him.

"Did the nurse say how many IV bags you needed today?"

"Just this one," Li Mochan replied in between things.

Ye Jiuliang nodded and threw the cotton swab she was holding into the garbage bin.

In the meantime, Li Mochan had finished his phone call.

Ye Jiuliang took off her jacket and threw it aside carelessly, getting back to business, "Why is Mo Yuan here?"

"He came to discuss a collaboration. It’s all on the way to the airport; his car broke down, and that’s why he ended up colliding with us," Li Mochan explained briefly.

Ye Jiuliang caught onto the key point and eyed him suspiciously, "Didn’t you say you were going back the day after tomorrow?"

"Can’t you be less sharp?" Li Mochan reached out and ruffled her hair, his expression a mix of amusement and exasperation.

How come his little wolf cub is so clever?

"I wanted to surprise you."

Ye Jiuliang snorted, more like a scare than a surprise.

"Have you caught the mole?"

Li Mochan hooked his arm around her waist and lifted, making it easier for her to lean on his chest.

"Used and discarded by others."

Ye Jiuliang raised an eyebrow, "And the person behind the instigation?"
