Huo Jingmo, with a protective look on his face, said to Gong Chen, "Don't talk nonsense about her."

Gong Chen was speechless: "Hey, hey, hey, you value romance over friendship."

Ruan Qian'an playfully stuck out her tongue at Gong Chen, looking at him with a smug grin.

Huo Jingmo's stomach rumbled uncomfortably. He awkwardly rubbed his stomach and said to Ruan Qian'an, "I'm a little hungry."

Ruan Qian'an immediately said, "I'll go buy it for you. What do you want to eat?"

Huo Jingmo: "Just buy whatever you think is best. I'll like anything you buy."

Gong Chen rubbed his goosebumps, wondering if this was still the legendary cold-faced Yama.

After Ruan Qian'an had completely left, Huo Jingmo's smile faded, and he asked Gong Chen, "What were you trying to say just now?"

Gong Chen frowned but asked in a deliberately casual tone, "It's nothing, I just wanted to ask what happened to your leg?"

Huo Jingmo's face was grim: "He's ruined, really ruined."

Gong Chen continued, "Was it caused by someone? There was no damage to the outside or inside of the legs, but they just couldn't move and had no feeling."

Gong Chen asked with a serious expression, "Who exactly did you offend?"

He showed Huo Jingmo the report on Huo Jingmo's leg.

Huo Jingmo took it, but didn't open it; he threw it directly into the trash can.

His expression was inscrutable, and he then looked at Gong Chen and said, "I don't know."

Gong Chen was stunned. Although Huo Jingmo said he didn't know, his eyes were full of sadness. He had never seen Huo Jingmo like this before.

He patted Huo Jingmo on the shoulder to comfort him: "If you don't know, you don't know."

At this moment, Ruan Qian'an, who had been sent away by Huo Jingmo, stood against the wall outside the ward door, listening to their conversation.

Ruan Qian'an had a faint smile on her lips, but the smile didn't reach her eyes.

When Chi Xiao came to find his boss, he saw her standing outside with her arms crossed, leaning against the wall, smiling faintly.

He raised his hand to call out to someone, but then he saw her put her index finger to her lips, signaling him to be quiet.

Ruan Qian'an walked towards Chi Xiao and said, "Move the plan forward and don't appear in front of Huo Jingmo recently."

Chi Xiao put away his playful smile: "Yes."

Although he didn't know why his boss treated Huo Jingmo that way, it was none of his business; he only needed to obey orders.

After all, his life belonged to her.

The two walked out of the hospital.

Chi Xiao asked Ruan Qian'an curiously, "Boss, where are you going?"

Ruan Qian'an glanced at her watch and said, "Buy some food for Huo Jingmo."

Then he said to Chixiao, "Go to Fumanlou."

Chi Xiao was even more puzzled and asked, "Boss, there are food vendors nearby, why go to such a far place to buy it?"

Ruan Qian'an explained, "The food there is light and delicious, and it includes his favorite dishes."

Chi Xiao's expression was very complicated: "Boss, are you schizophrenic?"

Ruan Qian'an glanced at him without a trace of emotion, then scoffed, "I love him and I want..."

Chi Xiao thought about the plan and quickly said, "I understand, I understand, please don't say those terrible words."

Ruan Qian'an smiled and said, "You don't understand the adult world."

Chi Xiao secretly thought to himself, "I really don't understand your world. What grudge or hatred could possibly lead you to ruin someone like this?"

When Ruan Qian'an returned to Huo Jingmo's room, she heard a woman's laughter coming from inside.

When Ruan Qian'an pushed open the door, she saw Zhang Yushu sitting on the sofa that belonged to her, and she seemed to be very familiar with Gong Chen.

The three of them chatted and laughed, having a great time.

Gong Chen looked at Zhang Yushu with a doting expression, while Huo Jingmo's expression was not as doting, but there was a faint smile on his lips.

Ruan Qian'an pushed open the door and went in; the laughter and conversation inside came to an abrupt halt.

She was like an uninvited guest.

Ruan Qian'an didn't mind the sudden silence and walked to the table with the lunchbox.

Just as I was about to put it on top, I saw the beautifully prepared heart-shaped lunchboxes on the table.

There was a big heart drawn on it. Ruan Qian'an sneered inwardly, knowing that Sima Zhao's intentions were obvious to everyone.

The food that Ruan Qian'an had gone to great lengths to buy now seemed less sincere, at least that's what Zhang Yushu thought, her expression carrying a victorious smile.

Ruan Qian'an walked forward with a smile and handed the lunchbox on the table to Zhang Yushu: "It's so strange that you bring your own food when visiting a patient."

After saying this, she took out the food packaged in a wooden box and placed it on the table one by one.

Zhang Yushu looked at the food she had made and put it back in her hands, then looked at the food Ruan Qian'an had placed on the table.

She knew that her exquisiteness could not compare to that of Ruan Qian'an.

So Zhang Yushu blinked her sore eyes and said with a face that was hard to tell whether she was crying or laughing, "What I made was indeed a bit meager, and it's normal for you to look down on it, but there's no need to humiliate me like this."

"This is something I made myself for Huo Jingmo. It's a small token of my appreciation. Miss Ruan, please don't take my feelings for granted." Her voice trembled slightly as she spoke.

She handed over the lunchbox decorated with a heart with both hands.

Ruan Qian'an glanced at the food inside and said lazily, "There are at least three kinds of food that Huo Jingmo can't eat right now, and one that he doesn't like. Who would believe it was made for him?" Ruan Qian'an looked at her with a playful expression.

Zhang Yushu stood there, stunned, unable to react in time to refute Ruan Qian'an.

Zhang Yushu wondered if this was the reason why Huo Jingmo hadn't moved at all just now.

Ruan Qian'an glanced at Gong Chen and said, "Are doctors so easy to get certified these days? You don't even know what dietary restrictions your patients need to follow? How utterly unacceptable."

Gong Chen took a breath to calm himself down. He didn't stop Huo Jingmo because he knew Huo Jingmo wouldn't eat it. He was really in a difficult situation now.

Huo Jingmo's smile widened as he looked at the quick-witted and even aggressive Ruan Qian'an.

But when Ruan Qian'an turned around to look at him, the smile on her lips vanished instantly.

Ruan Qian'an ultimately didn't say anything to Huo Jingmo.

Zhang Yushu's hands were there, unsure whether to put them down or not.

She was swaying precariously, looking utterly pitiful.

Huo Jingmo and Gong Chen exchanged a glance, and Gong Chen stepped forward to take the lunchbox from Zhang Yushu's hand.

However, Zhang Yushu held the lunchbox tightly in her hand, handing it to Huo Jingmo with a tearful expression, as if trying to force him to accept it.

Ruan Qian'an subtly blocked Zhang Yushu's view, watching Huo Jingmo eat with a smile.

Huo Jingmo withdrew his gaze.

Ruan Qian'an seemed to remember that Huo Jingmo had mentioned liking Zhang Yushu.

The chopsticks I was holding suddenly broke.

Huo Jingmo was startled by the commotion while he was eating. He saw Ruan Qian'an still smiling at him, her eyes almost disappearing from her smile.

But he was holding a broken chopstick in his hand.

Huo Jingmo pretended not to see it and continued eating.

Gong Chen sighed, thinking to himself that Zhang Yushu was too stubborn. Wasn't it tiring to keep putting on such a facade?

Zhang Yushu gritted her teeth and looked at Huo Jingmo, who was completely blocked. All she could see now was Ruan Qian'an's back.

Slowly, Zhang Yushu's hatred grew stronger and deeper.

She will make this person pay the price for embarrassing her like this.

Zhang Yushu appeared pitiful, but in her heart she had already cursed Ruan Qian'an hundreds of times.
