After the tycoon went bankrupt, he was raised by the villainous female supporting character and beca

"What's wrong?" Qin Song put down his phone and looked up at Pei Lingxuan.

Pei Lingxuan came in empty-handed, while Zhou Limin behind her was carrying a lot of bags and packages.

"Mrs. Pei, Aunt Pei." Zhou Limin put down what he was holding on the table and greeted the people in the ward politely and gentlemanly.

"Hello," Qin Song replied politely.

"Hello, Mr. Zhou, please have a seat." Mrs. Pei was unaware of Zhou Limin's shady dealings and only regarded him as a suitor whom Pei Lingxuan had accepted, so she was quite warm and friendly to him.

"Thank you, Auntie." Zhou Limin didn't stand on ceremony and casually pulled up a chair and sat down at the foot of the bed.

"Sister-in-law, guess who I just saw in the hallway?" Pei Lingxuan said angrily, putting down her bag and sitting down next to Qin Song, grabbing her hand and complaining.

"Who did you see?" Qin Song asked.

Pei Lingxuan: "I saw Qin Sisi, and her parents too!"

“Oh…” Qin Song raised an eyebrow, but her expression showed no surprise. She even had the leisure to observe Zhou Limin’s reaction.

"So what if you see them? There are only two well-known hospitals in Yuncheng, so it's normal to see them here."

“I know it’s normal, I just feel unlucky.” Pei Lingxuan rolled her eyes, both at Qin Sisi and at Zhou Limin, who was feeling uncomfortable.

"Qin Sisi was holding the hospital admission form, and her parents' eyes were red from crying. It must be that someone in their family was sick and hospitalized, and coincidentally, they were staying on the same floor as us."

Qin Song smiled faintly: "The only person who could make them worry like this is Qin Wushuang. Perhaps Qin Wushuang is about to die."

"...Huh?" Pei Lingxuan's eyes widened in horror. "Qin Wushuang is going to die? Really? Sister-in-law, how did you know?"

Qin Song winked mischievously: "I was just talking nonsense. Qin Wushuang is tall and strong, how could he die so easily?"

"..." Pei Lingxuan pursed her lips helplessly, "You scared me. I thought Qin Wushuang was really going to die."

"Hmph..." Qin Song sneered, skipping the topic and not answering, "Xiao Xuan, you saw Qin Sisi in the corridor, did Qin Sisi see you?"

Pei Lingxuan shook her head, glancing at Zhou Limin out of the corner of her eye, and raised her voice slightly, saying, "No. Qin Sisi looks like she's in a real mess. She's just dragging her parents along and keeps walking forward. She doesn't have time to look at me at all."

Qin Song: "Yes, that's normal."

Pei Lingxuan was still complaining: "What bad luck! I feel disgusted just looking at the Qin family! Including Lu Yibai, Lu Yibai is disgusting too!"

"Just bear with it." Qin Song raised his hand and tucked Pei Lingxuan's messy hair behind her ear, his meaningful gaze falling lightly on Zhou Limin.

"Qin Sisi is Lu Yibai's fiancée. Now that Qin Wushuang is seriously ill and hospitalized, Lu Yibai has to come to the hospital to visit his brother-in-law no matter what. A disgusting bunch of people have all gathered together. You'll have a lot of bad luck to deal with in the future."

Pei Lingxuan: "I know."

……

Zhou Limin, who was standing to the side, didn't dare to say a word.

The two women deliberately brought up Lu Yibai and Qin Sisi, making Zhou Limin feel extremely uncomfortable.

He kept his eyes down, his gaze fixed on his leather shoes, not daring to glance at Qin Song and Pei Lingxuan at all while they were chatting.

"It's almost time, sister-in-law, I should go." Pei Lingxuan glanced at her phone and reluctantly ended the cathartic conversation.

"Where are you going?" Qin Song asked, looking at her.

She stood up from the sofa, took Qin Song's arm, helped her up, and led her to the dining table.

“I made plans to have lunch with a friend this afternoon, and I have to get there now. I know the food at the hospital isn’t very good, so I specially packed some food for you and Mom when I passed by a restaurant just now.”

"They're still warm, you two eat them while they're hot."

"Aren't you going to eat something with us?" Pei's mother put the folded clothes into the wardrobe in front of her and peeked over.

Pei Lingxuan picked up her bag from the table and slung it over her shoulder: "I'm not eating. I'll go eat with my friends later."

Pei's mother: "Okay, be careful on the road."

Pei Lingxuan: "Hmm..."

"Let's go, Xiaoxuan." Zhou Limin stood up from his chair, his voice inexplicably urgent.

Pei Lingxuan hesitated for a few seconds, then said shyly, "Mom, sister-in-law, these dishes were all personally selected by President Zhou. You two must eat more and not disappoint President Zhou's kindness."

"..." Qin Song remained silent, a half-smile on his face.

"Yes, yes, yes." Mrs. Pei happily agreed repeatedly, "Thank you for your kindness, Mr. Zhou. You've gone to so much trouble."

Zhou Limin finally smiled and said, "Auntie, you're too kind. Taking care of Xiaoxuan's family is what I should do."

"Hey..." Pei's mother actually liked him quite a bit, so she didn't ignore his ambiguous words and even happily agreed.

"Ahem..." Pei Lingxuan cleared her throat, her face flushed. "Then we'll be leaving now. You two remember to eat."

Qin Song stood there watching her go: "Go, be careful on your journey."

……

Zhou Limin seemed very anxious.

After leaving the ward, he walked briskly, so fast that Pei Lingxuan could hardly keep up with him.

Pei Lingxuan watched his somewhat anxious figure as he walked away, feigning ignorance, and asked, "President Zhou, is something urgent? Why are you leaving so quickly all of a sudden?"

"Huh?" Zhou Limin turned his head upon hearing this. "Was I walking very fast?"

Pei Lingxuan: "Faster, faster than I can keep up."

“…Sorry.” Zhou Limin forced a smile and reluctantly slowed his pace. “I heard that there’s been another outbreak of flu in Yuncheng recently. This flu is very serious, and once you get infected, it’s extremely easy to develop into pneumonia. I was a little worried, so I unconsciously walked faster.”

“I see…” Pei Lingxuan played along with his act. “If this flu is this bad, then we really need to hurry. There are people coming and going in the lobby, and if we’re unlucky, we might get infected right away.”

“Okay.” Zhou Limin nodded. “Then I’d better walk faster. If Xiaoxuan can’t keep up, she can hold my hand.”

Pei Lingxuan: "Huh?"

Zhou Limin didn't explain too much to her; he simply took her hand firmly in his palm.

"Let's go, I'll get you out of here quickly."

"..." Pei Lingxuan did not refuse, letting his large, warm hands tightly envelop her.

"Oh!"

As the car door closed, Zhou Limin's tense body visibly relaxed.

Pei Lingxuan sent him the location of the restaurant, and he set up the navigation and drove away from the hospital.

But halfway there, he suddenly said, "Xiaoxuan, I may not have time to take you to the hospital anymore."

"Okay." Pei Lingxuan agreed first, and then asked, "Has President Zhou taken on another big order?"
