Sober and beautiful, my husband and son begged for my forgiveness on their knees.

Ning Yao slowly woke up, and the first thing she saw when she opened her eyes was a blinding white light.

She closed her eyes for a while to calm down before opening them again.

After observing for a while, she realized that she was in a hospital room.

So she was saved?

Once she fully regained consciousness, she realized how heavy she felt and how difficult it was to breathe.

Looking up, I saw that she was covered with three blankets.

She was speechless. Were they going to smother her?

"Oh dear, Ning girl is awake."

Merlin's voice came from the side.

Ning Yao belatedly realized there were still people in the ward, so she quickly gestured to Merlin, "Could you help me move the blanket around a bit?"

Before Merlin could answer, another familiar voice coldly rebuked, "No, the doctor said your body temperature is too low and you must be kept warm."

Ning Yao turned her head with difficulty and then realized that Lu Jingmo was also there.

Moreover, he was wearing a windbreaker that didn't quite suit his status.

"I'm fine now, let's get out of here quickly, I can't breathe."

Hearing her say that, Lu Jingmo stepped forward and removed one of the beds.

Seeing this, Ning Yao remained silent, staring intently at him.

Lu Jingmo's indifferent expression revealed a hint of displeasure, but he still stepped forward and removed another bed.

Ning Yao then took a deep breath, "I feel a little better now."

She made a move to get up.

Merlin was right beside her bed, but she didn't go over. She glanced at Lu Jingmo, who was putting down the blanket and walking back.

Sure enough, when he saw Ning Yao about to get up, he rushed to the bedside in one stride.

"What are you trying to do now? You just woke up, can't you behave yourself!"

Ning Yao was instantly furious. "What? Your blanket didn't smother me, so now you want to drive me to my death?"

Lu Jingmo's face darkened, and his entire profile hardened.

After Ning Yao sat up, she moved her numb hands and feet to make sure she was alright before she started to care about Merlin.

"Are you okay?"

Merlin chuckled. "What could possibly happen to me? You, on the other hand, almost scared someone to death."

He meant something.

Ning Yao seemed not to understand, and said calmly, "That's good. My mission today was to protect you. If you're alright, then I haven't let President Lu down."

Merlin couldn't help but laugh when she heard every word she said hitting Lu Jingmo's sore spot. "You're such a funny girl! You have no idea what happened when you fainted, Mr. Lu..."

Lu Jingmo interrupted Merlin, "Master Merlin must have been frightened today. Go back to your room and rest early."

Merlin raised an eyebrow. Well, he thought he was in the way.

"Okay, girl, I'm going back to my room now. I've finished organizing today's design drafts, and I should be able to produce a first draft tomorrow. I'll contact you then."

Ning Yao smiled and nodded, "I'd be happy to."

Turning her head, she saw Lu Jingmo staring at her with a deep gaze, and she immediately stopped smiling.

"It's getting late, shouldn't Mr. Lu be heading back too?"

Lu Jingmo's jaw tightened, and he said stiffly, "Don't you have anything else to say to me?"

Ning Yao looked at him with disdain, "Our relationship doesn't seem to be good enough for us to chat late at night, does it?"

Lu Jingmo's breath hitched, and he said with suppressed anger, "Ning Yao, don't push your luck!"

Ning Yao leaned back against the headboard, raising an eyebrow and saying, "Do you think I dare? Haven't you always been telling me to face reality and not to covet things that don't belong to me?"

Lu Jingmo felt a tightness in his chest, and his dark eyes flashed with anger. "You're obedient now, but why didn't you listen before? Instead, you repeatedly went against me, making me..."

He paused, then stopped speaking.

Ning Yao's indifferent expression made him feel like a joke.

"Not going to continue? Then you can leave. I'm tired today and want to rest."

When Lu Jingmo heard that she was actually telling him to leave, he gritted his teeth.

"Ning Yao, you're really something!"

He stormed out, pulling open the door in a huff.

"boom!"

The door was slammed shut.

Ning Yao could hear his dissatisfaction and anger in the noise.

She knew that Lu Jingmo had probably saved her after she lost consciousness.

He might even have seemed a little anxious.

But so what?

She wasn't the housewife who had to live at his mercy in her past life.

Nor was she the helpless wife who was hoping he would rescue her from the mental hospital.

She was hospitalized because Lu Jingmo wanted her to do everything in her power to keep Meilin safe.

He may have become somewhat interested in himself after the divorce because he found himself different from the person he remembered, but in his eyes there are still too many people and too many things that are more important than himself.

She suffered so much, only to be reborn.

It's not to make her repeat the same mistake.

"Mr. Lu, there was news about the mudslide at Qingyang Mountain. Many reporters went to the scene, and a few of them, like us, arrived at the entrance. So they all took photos of you carrying Miss Ning out of the forest. Should we deal with these photos immediately?"

Yang Qian saw the BOSS standing alone in the corridor, looking at the dark night outside, and knew that he was not in a good mood.

However, this matter concerns the reputation of the Lu Group, so he had to come and inquire despite the pressure.

Lu Jingmo casually tapped the window frame, his gaze unwavering, but his tone had regained its composure.

"No need to do anything. Although the divorce scandal caused by Ning Yao has been brought under control, it has not been completely resolved. This photo can just offset the previous rumors that were detrimental to the Lu family."

Yang Qian nodded, then cautiously asked, "So, are you going back to the villa tonight, or staying at the hospital?"

"Prepare the car and go back to the villa."

Ning Yao doesn't need him, and he has no reason to be so self-righteous.

Soon, photos of Lu Jingmo carrying Ning Yao down from the mountains went viral online.

After being deliberately spread by Lu's public relations department, it topped all streaming media charts in just one hour.

Overnight, all comments unfavorable to Ning Yao and the Lu family disappeared.

Everyone was moved by the pure love between Lu Jingmo and Ning Yao.

Many people even went to Ning Yao's personal Weibo account to ask for advice on what kind of wishing posture they should use to get the same affectionate and domineering CEO!

Ning Yao was unaware of this, but Ning Yan discovered it as soon as she woke up in the morning.

She has been staying at home all this time and doesn't dare to go out.

Because she wanted to bring Ning Yao down from her pedestal, she used a purchased alternate account to say a lot of bad things about Ning Yao.

But she didn't expect it would affect the reputation and image of the Lu Group.

She was afraid that Lu Jingmo would find out that she was involved in this matter, so she had been behaving herself during this time.

I thought that if I behaved myself for a while, it wouldn't affect my position in Lu Jingmo's heart, but then I saw this news.

She was so angry that she jumped out of bed and paced back and forth barefoot on the carpet.

How could Ning Yao be so despicable!

Even though they're divorced, she still keeps buzzing around Jingmo like a fly!

No, she can't stand this!

She must assert sovereignty!

Having found out which hospital Ning Yao was at, she grabbed her bag and headed out.

We travelled at lightning speed.

We arrived at the hospital entrance quickly.
