After Miss Lu became the only one to enjoy the limelight, her six brothers knelt down and begged for

Lu Ning began to guess why the old man wanted to see her, but it was probably the same old story.

You either agree or you disagree.

But she felt that the probability of disagreement was higher.

Ji Chiqian frowned immediately: "She was just injured and needs to rest. I'll go tell Grandma."

Lu Ning looked at him: "Isn't this a bit inappropriate?"

She heard that the old man's health wasn't very good, and she was worried that he might get upset.

Ji Chiqian gave her a deep look: "Go tomorrow, I'll go see Grandma first."

"okay."

As Lu Ning watched Ji Chiqian leave the ward, she rubbed her temples. There would only be more trouble in wealthy and powerful families.

What exactly did Old Mrs. Ji want to say to her?

Lu Ning thought about it for a moment and finally sent a message in the dormitory group: "I'm in the hospital, please ask for leave for me."

After seeing the news, Chen Yu and Chen Guoguo rushed to the hospital.

Lu Ning was surprised: "Why are you here?"

"You said you were injured and hospitalized, how could we not come and see you?"

Chen Guoguo even specially packed some of Lu Ning's favorite foods from the cafeteria: "I was worried that you would be alone in the hospital without anyone to take care of you, so I brought you dinner."

"Thank you, but I can't eat right now."

Lu Ning's throat still feels uncomfortable, and she has little appetite.

Chen Yu was surprised: "How did it suddenly catch fire?"

"I suspect someone tampered with it, but it's unclear yet and further investigation is needed."

Lu Ning looked at Chen Yu, then lowered her voice: "There is something I want to ask you."

"what's up?"

"Did you know that Grandma Ji is also staying at this hospital? She wants to see me."

After Lu Ning finished speaking, she looked at Chen Yu expectantly. After all, she didn't know much about wealthy families, but Chen Yu was different.

Chen Yu thought for a moment and then said, "I consider you a friend, so I'll be honest with you. The Ji family has high hopes for Brother Ji, and naturally they also hope that he will marry someone of equal social standing."

"I guessed that was the case."

"But Grandma Ji is a good person; she's not that kind of person. I'll go see her later and try to find out what she thinks."

Lu Ning smiled helplessly, but no matter what, the Lu family's social standing was still too low.

Chen Guoguo and Chen Yu stayed with her for a while before returning to school.

No sooner had they left than Madam Ji arrived.

"Lu Ning, I heard you were injured?"

Madam Ji rushed in from outside and immediately noticed the burns on Lu Ning's legs. She frowned and asked, "How could the injury be so severe?"

Lu Ning smiled and said, "It's not serious, there's nothing wrong with it."

"It's so unsightly for girls to have scars."

Madam Ji felt somewhat distressed when she looked at the injury on Lu Ning's calf.

At this moment, Madam Mo reluctantly walked in: "I thought Ah Qian had also been in trouble. Luckily, he's alright. Is a fire something you can just walk into? What if something had happened to him?"

Madam Mo's words implied that Lu Ning shouldn't have let Ji Chiqian rescue her.

Upon hearing Madam Mo's words, Lu Ning sneered inwardly, thinking, "As expected, the old fox is shrewder."

Madam Mo was speaking to Madam Ji.

No mother would want her son to risk his life to do a heroic rescue.

Madam Mo wanted to make Madam Ji dissatisfied with her.

But Madam Ji disagreed: "Qian is such a grown man, and he's quite skilled. It's nothing for him to help save someone."

Moreover, the person she saved was Lu Ning.

A look of astonishment flashed in Lu Ning's eyes. Did Madam Ji really not care? Or was she just putting on an act?

But Lu Ning noticed that Madam Ji's expression didn't seem like an act.

Madam Mo, standing nearby, seemed a little uncomfortable. She looked at Madam Ji and said, "What if something happens to Aqian? Where will you cry then? I don't know who rushed over in a panic after hearing the news, and they said they weren't worried about their son?"

"Oh dear, my son definitely knows what he's doing."

Although Madam Ji was also worried about Ji Chiqian, Ji Chiqian was fine now, and it was Lu Ning who was injured.

Mrs. Mo was somewhat displeased: "I heard that the old lady has woken up. Miss Lu, why don't you come with us to see her?"

Grandma Ji definitely won't like Lu Ning.

Madam Ji stood up: "Lu Ning, you're injured, you should rest well, we won't bother you any longer."

Lu Ning could only nod and agree.

Madam Mo turned around and gave Lu Ning a meaningful look: "Since you're already here, and you know that Old Madam Ji is in the hospital, as a junior, you should go and visit her."

A cold glint flashed in Lu Ning's eyes, but she remained silent.

Madam Mo angrily withdrew her gaze; she needed to find a way to stop Ji Chiqian from being with Lu Ning.

Based on that car accident alone, there's no chance for Lu Ning and Ji Chiqian to get together.

Grandma Ji would not agree.

Lu Ning had better be self-aware and leave Ji Chiqian on her own initiative, rather than being forced to take action.

After the two left, Lu Ning lay alone on the bed, lost in thought.

The thought that Grandma Ji was also in the hospital made her inexplicably irritable.

She could recall the man rushing out of the smoke with her eyes closed, risking his life and calling her name desperately.

His voice was urgent and worried.

Lu Ning clutched her chest, feeling her heart pounding so hard it felt like it was about to burst out of her chest.

"Are you feeling unwell?"

The man's soft, pleasant voice reached her ears.

Lu Ning nervously opened her eyes. Ji Chiqian stood by the bed, reached out and touched her forehead, his expression very serious.

He said calmly, "The temperature is normal, but it's a bit hot."

Looking at the man in front of her, Lu Ning's heart started beating faster, and her eyes flickered: "I...I'm fine."

Ji Chiqian bent down to look at Lu Ning and felt that her face seemed a little red. He touched her face with the back of his hand: "Let's take your temperature."

"No need, I don't have a fever."

"But your temperature is a bit high, it's safer to take it."

Lu Ning blushed and said, "I... I just feel a little hot and my heart is beating a little fast."

"I do not believe."

When Lu Ning saw that he was going to find a doctor, she directly pulled his hand and placed it on her chest: "Feel it if you don't believe me."

The rapid heartbeat came from Ji Chiqian's palm, one beat after another, reaching his chest, and even her heartbeat quickened considerably.

He looked down at her, and the soft touch in his palm made him lose his composure.

His voice became hoarse: "I touched it."

When Lu Ning met his slender eyes, she felt her face heat up even more.

She hurriedly let go of his hand, but the man stepped forward and trapped her on the hospital bed.

Lu Ning's heart was pounding so hard it could kill a deer.

Why is this man standing so close?

Ji Chiqian bent down and approached her, his gaze fixed on her flushed features, finding her more and more adorable.

He only meant to tease her, but his gaze couldn't help but fall on her tightly clenched lips, and his breathing became quite erratic.

I kind of want to kiss him.

Ji Chiqian thought this way, and he did it.

But Lu Ning turned her head away, avoiding him.

His thin lips brushed against her ear, feeling slightly cool.
