Ye Ci was very efficient. The next day, right after lunch, Qin Song received the investment cooperation agreement and Qian Lang's personal information from him.

Qin Song skipped the investment agreement and went straight to the document related to Qian Lang.

But the next second, Ye Ci sent another voice message.

Qin Song subconsciously clicked to listen.

"Sister-in-law, wait for me a moment, I'll come to the hospital now to sign the contract with you."

Qin Song thought for a moment, then replied, "There's no rush to sign the contract. You come with me to find Fu Yushu first."

"Hmm?" Pei Xingzhi, lying on the hospital bed, looked up upon hearing this. "Xiao Song, aren't you going to sign the contract first?"

Qin Song shook his head: "No, I need to go find Fu Yushu first."

"Why?" Pei Lingxuan, who was peeling an apple, briefly looked up and asked, puzzled, "Sister-in-law, why are you in such a hurry to find Fu Yushu? You're signing a two-million-dollar contract today. Shouldn't something as important as that take precedence over Fu Yushu?"

Qin Song shook his head again, a slight smile playing on his lips: "This contract is between your brother and me. Although the amount is large, it's ultimately a family matter, so it's okay to delay it a little."

“But Fu Yushu and Qian Lang are different. They are a couple who hold so many secrets. Every moment of delay will increase the risk, so I must put this matter before signing the contract.”

"Oh." Pei Lingxuan finally understood.

She quickly finished peeling the apple, put down the knife with one hand, and handed the clean apple to Pei Xingzhi with the other. Then she stood up from her chair and said, "Sister-in-law, I'll go with you. Fu Yushu and Qian Lang are capable of doing something like this, so it must be very difficult to deal with them. Having another person with you can help us think of more solutions."

"No need." Qin Song's refusal was firm and decisive. "Xiao Xuan, the last person who should come with me is you."

"Why?" Pei Lingxuan asked, puzzled. "Is it because of Zhou Limin?"

"Yes." Qin Song put down his phone, walked to Pei Xingzhi's bedside and sat down, then opened his mouth to take the apple that Pei Xingzhi fed him.

“Zhou Limin is too concerned about you. Now he sends people to follow you wherever you go. If you come with me, his people will definitely find out that we are getting close to Fu Yushu. Wouldn’t that alert him and expose our plan?”

That makes sense. Pei Lingxuan thought about it carefully, and then obediently sat back down in her chair.

"Okay, then sister-in-law, please be careful when you go alone, and call us immediately if anything happens."

Qin Song had just swallowed the apple in her mouth when she was forced to immediately accept the second piece that Pei Xingzhi fed her. Because her mouth was so full, her responses were all muffled.

"Yes, I know, don't worry..."

Half an hour later, Ye Ci's car stopped at the hospital entrance, and Qin Song went out alone carrying his bag.

Pei Xingzhi was still practicing using crutches, so he could only escort her to the door of the ward.

"Xiao Song, call me anytime if you need anything. I'm always here for you."

"Mm." Qin Song smiled and patted his hand, saying softly, "I know, you should go back now."

After saying that, he turned around and tried to leave.

But Pei Xingzhi held her hand tightly, looking hesitant and unsure of what to say.

"...What's wrong?" Qin Song looked at him, puzzled.

"Ahem..." He cleared his throat, pointed to his mouth, and made his intentions very clear.

“…Ahem.” Qin Song cleared his throat in imitation of him, then raised his chin in Pei Lingxuan’s direction.

"..." Pei Xingzhi immediately became unhappy.

Seeing his aggrieved little face, Qin Song couldn't bear it in the end, so he touched his own lips with his finger and then quickly pressed it to Pei Xingzhi's lips.

Although the kiss was somewhat hasty, it's better than nothing.

Pei Xingzhi curled his lips arrogantly, and a smile finally returned to his face.

"Go ahead." He raised his hand to straighten Qin Song's collar, covering the faint red marks on her neck, and finally let her go out.

"Bye-bye." Qin Song waved to him before turning and leaving.

"Click..."

The ward door was gently closed, and Pei Xingzhi limped back, leaning on his cane.

"Aren't you working overtime today?" Pei Xingzhi felt inexplicably annoyed when he saw Pei Lingxuan sitting on the sofa leisurely playing on her phone.

"No, I won't." Pei Lingxuan replied lazily, "I worked five full days of overtime last week, and it's time for me to rest now."

“…Oh.” Pei Xingzhi withdrew his displeased gaze from her and walked to the bedside to sit down.

"Actually, you should have worked overtime today," he suddenly said a moment later, seemingly out of the blue.

“…Ah?!” Pei Lingxuan was shocked.

"Ding--"

The elevator doors opened on the first floor, and Qin Song slowly emerged after the crowd in front of him had dispersed.

However, before she could even step out of the elevator, a tall figure approached her.

She looked up and was instantly disgusted by Lu Yibai's face.

But it wasn't a physical nausea; it was pure nausea from disliking him.

She didn't want to get too close to him, so she turned her body to the side, intending to walk past him directly.

Lu Yibai, however, seemed to have seen Qin Song all along. The moment Qin Song made a move, he grabbed Qin Song's wrist and pulled him back into the elevator with a slight effort.

He then closed the elevator door and pressed the button to go to the top floor.

"..." Qin Song frowned speechlessly, suppressing the urge to roll his eyes, and asked, "Lu Yibai, have you never ridden an elevator before?"

"Hmph..." Lu Yibai still had the mood to laugh.

"Of course I've taken the elevator. I just felt like it had been a long time since I'd seen you, so I thought I'd take this opportunity to have a good chat with you."

Qin Song: "...Talking in the hospital elevator?"

Lu Yibai turned his head to look at her and smiled: "Isn't it because our meeting was so sudden that I didn't have time to find a suitable place?"

"...He's sick." Qin Song commented precisely.

Lu Yibai raised an eyebrow, but wasn't angry.

"Judging from your belly, you should be giving birth in less than two months, right?"

Qin Song reached out and pressed the button for the first floor, saying irritably, "None of your business."

Lu Yibai knew that she was in a bad mood, so he automatically ignored her hostile words.

"You're already so far along in your pregnancy, does Pei Xingzhi still want you to travel around outside?"

"..." Qin Song glared at him impatiently, ignoring his question.

Looking at Qin Song's profile, which was still beautiful and striking even without makeup, he suddenly thought she was very pretty, even prettier than Qin Sisi.

Qin Sisi's appearance is sweet, which can be cloying after a while, while Qin Song's sweetness has a touch of coldness. She is beautiful yet delicate, and always gives people a refreshing feeling.

"Qin Song." Lu Yibai's eyes were half-closed, and he said in a low, ambiguous voice, "I've known you for so long, and I'm only just realizing how beautiful you are now."
