Chapter Eleven: Undeterred Thief

In the next few days, Jiang Xin will need to be hospitalized for observation, and Meng Chengze will naturally accompany her.

Although he was very unhappy, he couldn't bring himself to say it out loud.

One day, he ordered a huge amount of fried skewers on a certain platform.

"Xinxin, come and try this. You loved eating these things when you were in school."

Meng Chengze smiled and handed over the set meal.

To everyone's surprise, Jiang Xin almost vomited after just one glance.

"Quick...take it away!"

Meng Chengze frowned.

"What's wrong? Isn't this your favorite?"

Just then, the nurse who came to change the IV drip glanced at him.

"You're really a smart one."

Meng Chengze glared at him coldly.

Who are you talking about?

The nurse gave a cold laugh.

"The patient has a stomach problem and needs to eat light food, but you've prepared a bunch of greasy food. Who can eat that?"

"Such a grown man, and he doesn't even have a little common sense about life."

Upon hearing this, a hint of disappointment flashed in Jiang Xin's eyes.

In the past, Xu Zirui would definitely have made a lot of his favorite foods and put them by his bedside.

Looking at things now, it's a world of difference.

Meng Chengze quickly stepped forward, his expression aggrieved as he took her delicate hand in his.

"I'm sorry, Xinxin. I've let you down so much over the years, and so much has been missing between us."

"Don't worry, as long as you give me time, I will definitely change!"

"Ah."

Jiang Xin responded softly, the tenderness in her eyes no longer what it once was.

On the other hand, whether out of guilt or something else, Xu Zirui would deliberately avoid Jiang Xin's ward during every round.

But his eyes couldn't help but glance over, and he would immediately look away when someone walked by, pretending to be nonchalant.

He let out a heavy sigh of relief; if things continued like this, he would go crazy.

Suddenly, a hand patted my back.

"master!"

The sudden shout startled Xu Zirui.

His face darkened.

"Can't you stop being so loud and boisterous? Can't you be a little more quiet?"

Zhang Feier made a funny face.

"What? You like quiet girls? Can I become more quiet in the future?"

Xu Zirui rubbed his head speechlessly.

"You little rascal, you really are..."

Zhang Feier changed the subject.

"If you want to go in and take a look, just go ahead. What's the big deal? Why are you hiding like this?"

Seeing that his little scheme had been exposed, Xu Zirui's breathing became rapid.

"What nonsense are you talking about? Who said I wanted to go in and see?"

Zhang Feier had an air of knowing everything.

"Alright, Master, don't put on airs in front of me. I'm a psychology master, you know."

"Then you should just stick to being a master."

Xu Zirui turned and left, not wanting to respond.

"Master! Wait for me, Master!"

Although he said he didn't want to pay attention, he couldn't let go of the lingering attachment in his heart.

Upon learning that Jiang Xin hadn't been eating properly for the past two days, he immediately prepared a light and delicious meal.

Standing at the door of the ward, Meng Chengze was not inside; only Jiang Xin was resting on the hospital bed.

After much hesitation, Xu Zirui still couldn't take that step and simply placed the food at the door.

As soon as he turned the corner, Meng Chengze walked over with an unfriendly expression, giving the food a disdainful look.

"You're really not giving up, are you? Just wait, one day I'll have to deal with this troublesome guy!"

He turned around and threw all the food into the trash can.

For two days in a row, the meals that Xu Zirui had carefully prepared were thrown into the trash can.

That day, Zhang Feier walked into the ward with the testing equipment, and after a series of tests, she nodded.

"The recovery is going well, and you can be discharged tomorrow."

Jiang Xin asked.

"Where is Xu Zirui? Doesn't he even dare to see me?"

Zhang Feier made up a lie on the spot.

"My master has been quite busy lately and hasn't had time to come over."

A fleeting hint of disappointment flashed in Jiang Xin's eyes, but she concealed it well.

"If he's not coming, he's not coming. I don't want to see him anyway."

Just as Zhang Feier was about to leave, her gaze inadvertently fell on the table, which was covered with takeout boxes.

"Is this what you've been eating these past few days?"

"Ah."

Jiang Xin nodded gently.

Zhang Feier looked puzzled.

"That can't be right! Your master cooks so many light meals for you every day, how could you eat something like this?"

"What did you say!"

Jiang Xin frowned sharply.

"He cooked for me? When did that happen? I've never seen him do that before?"

Realizing she had said the wrong thing, Zhang Feier immediately covered her mouth and turned to leave, leaving Jiang Xin bewildered in the ward.

She murmured to herself, unable to stop.

"Food..."

That afternoon, Meng Chengze had just finished his discharge procedures when he saw the food placed at the door of his ward.

"Damn it, it's really persistent!"

Needless to say, the trash can was the final destination for these meals, little did they know that Jiang Xin was watching everything from the shadows.

"I see…"

"Xinxin, the discharge procedures are done. You have no idea how troublesome it is to get these procedures done now. I've been running around like crazy."

Meng Chengze was panting heavily, hoping to receive some concern, but he was met with a cold gaze.

"Xinxin, what's wrong? Why are you looking at me like that?"

Jiang Xin looked away.

"It's okay, let's go."

Xu Zirui stood by the window, watching Jiang Xin get into the car.

For some reason, he felt a strange sense of loss.

"Xinxin, let's celebrate being discharged from the hospital! What do you want to eat tonight?"

Meng Chengze said as he drove.

Jiang Xin glanced out the window and for a moment didn't hear anything.

"Xinxin?"

"what?"

"I'm asking you, what are we going to eat tonight? To celebrate."

Jiang Xin shook her head.

"No, I have to go back to the company. I have too much work back on these past two days, so I won't be coming back tonight."

Meng Chengze gazed at her with deep affection.

"Thank you for your hard work, Xinxin. I will definitely help you with the burden in the future."

"Ah."

Jiang Xin simply replied that she had heard those words far too many times in the past few days.

After dropping Jiang Xin off at the company, Meng Chengze received a phone call from his parents, urging him to return home immediately.

It was thanks to his parents' timely message that he was able to return on time; otherwise, such a big cake would have been lost.

"Okay, I'll be right back."

Jinghai Villa.

The day after they got the property from Jiang Xin, the parents moved in with their entire family.

The villa was unusually lively today, with all his relatives sitting around in the living room, making the large space feel somewhat crowded.

Seeing Meng Chengze return, everyone quickly gathered around him.

"Wow, Cheng Ze has gotten even more handsome in the years I haven't seen him!"

"Yes, he's truly a handsome man. Not only is he good-looking, but he also managed to snag President Jiang. He's a real winner in life!"

"Old Meng, our Chengze is so successful now, you can't forget about us poor relatives!"

"Look at what you're saying, of course Old Meng wouldn't forget us!"

The group chatted amongst themselves, their faces full of forced smiles.

It's ridiculous that Meng Chengze doesn't even know most of them.

Mencius' parents were beaming from ear to ear.
