She went to the wrong table on a blind date and ended up getting married to a billionaire CEO.

It was already 10 p.m. when the New Year's Eve dinner ended.

Gu Tingxuan's family was still adjusting the health equipment when Gu Tingyu and his wife, along with Lin Jinyu, said goodbye and left.

Gu Tingyu said he wanted to go to the hospital to see Mo Yan. Today was New Year's Eve, a day for family reunion, and he felt bad that Mo Yan was hospitalized alone.

Although he gave the two caregivers enough red envelopes, they stayed at the hospital, and Gu Tingyu arranged for the Emerald Pearl Hotel to prepare a sumptuous New Year's Eve dinner suitable for Mo Yan's health.

But Gu Tingyu was still worried.

Although Mo Yan has spent all the holidays alone over the years, Gu Tingyu knows that he has adapted well and has his own rhythm of life.

But this year is different. He was in a car accident and was in the hospital, which is when a person is most vulnerable.

As the person closest to him in this world, of course I should spend New Year's Eve with him.

Upon hearing this, Lin Jinyu expressed her intention to go along.

She was unaware of Mo Yan's car accident. This child had been close to Gu Tingyu since junior high school and often visited his home.

Something happened at home, and she was all alone; she was in pain too.

However, Lin Jinyu has always been of a mild temperament and is not particularly enthusiastic or fond of showing concern for others.

But such a big thing happened, and my son didn't even tell me right away. Of course I have to go and see him now that I know.

When Gu Tingyu pushed open the ward door, he was somewhat surprised; Su Mairou and Lin Manlin were both there, and the Spring Festival Gala was playing on TV. Xiao Duoduo was singing and dancing along with the TV; the atmosphere seemed very harmonious.

Gu Tingyu couldn't help but tease, "Mo Yan, you're getting pretty good treatment; it seems I was worrying for nothing, imagining you all alone and pitiful in the hospital."

Su Mairou stood up first and said, "I was thinking that it's New Year's Eve today, and Mr. Mo is alone in the hospital, so I sent some food over. I didn't expect Mr. Mo's New Year's Eve dinner to be even more sumptuous. He said that you prepared it all."

Ever since Su Maiqi told her about Mo Yan's background, Su Mairou felt a pang of guilt.

Mr. Mo has helped her many times, and now that he is sick and hospitalized during the Lunar New Year, Su Mailou is thinking of doing something for him.

Today, Su Maiqi and Gu Tingyu are going back to their old house to celebrate the New Year with Grandpa Gu, and Mo Yan has no other close relatives around him.

Su Mairou and Lin Manlin discussed preparing the New Year's Eve dinner and decided to send a portion to Mo Yan first.

Lin Manlin is also the kind of person with a particularly chivalrous heart, and she can't bear to see such a lonely and miserable story.

Back then, my biological father and stepmother sent me to study in a remote part of Yuncheng. I was unfamiliar with the place and the people there. If it weren't for the care of Su Maiqi and her sister and Su's mother, I probably would have had a much harder time.

That evening, they prepared the dishes for the New Year's Eve dinner together. They cooked two dishes suitable for Mo Yan, planning to deliver them to the hospital together before returning to eat their own New Year's Eve dinner.

Just as the food arrived, the Emerald Pearl Hotel's food also arrived; Gu Tingyu had ordered a large amount, so Mo Yan invited them to stay and dine together.

Su Mailou was a little embarrassed at first, but Mo Yan said, "You stay for dinner, and let the two caregivers go back and reunite with their families."

He knew that Su Mairou only had her and Duoduo at home, and Lin Manlin stayed to celebrate the New Year, probably because she was afraid that the mother and daughter would be too lonely during the New Year.

They rushed to deliver food to themselves, saying that their families had prepared the dishes, and they could cook them when they got home, so why bother with all the trouble?

Gu Tingyu ordered a meal at the Emerald Pearl Hotel for himself, which was of a very high standard. They ate together in a lively atmosphere, and he didn't have to work hard cooking and cleaning up.

Su Mairou might not accept this explanation.

But Mo Yan realized that Su Mailou was a soft-hearted person. Since she was bedridden and unable to move, she would definitely need a caregiver. That caregiver wouldn't be able to reunite with their family for the New Year.

Only by using this excuse can they possibly stay.

As expected, Su Mairou and the others agreed after hearing this.

The two caregivers were a little embarrassed, as they had worked overtime on New Year's Eve and received a considerable amount of overtime pay. But Mo Yan said, "Consider the overtime pay as a New Year's bonus. We can come back to work after the reunion dinner; it won't interfere with anything. We have friends here to eat with, so don't worry."

The caregiver thanked them profusely and left happily.

This New Year's Eve dinner was more relaxed and enjoyable than ever before.

The child's curiosity was boundless, and this high-end hospital ward was full of novelty for her.

She was inexplicably interested in Mo Yan's adjustable bed; she kept running over to ask her uncle if he needed help and if the height needed to be adjusted.

They moved the small table and chairs from the kitchen to Mo Yan's hospital bedside; they ate New Year's Eve dinner together and watched the Spring Festival Gala together.

Su Mailou would put the dishes Mo Yan wanted to eat into small plates and place them on the small table on the hospital bed, changing the dishes every now and then.

Duoduo found it interesting and insisted on helping Uncle Mo Yan pack the food, so Su Mailou didn't get a chance to do it.

Mo Yan felt inexplicably happy.

Who would have thought that this Lunar New Year's Eve spent in the hospital ward would be the most joyful and heartwarming Spring Festival he had ever had in recent years?

There's one thing: he's hesitant to drink water or soup, since the caregiver isn't around. He also can't go to the toilet on his own, so he tries to avoid it as much as possible.

Even so, he was still very happy.

As soon as Lin Jinyu and the other two entered the ward, they felt the relaxed and pleasant atmosphere inside.

The makeshift New Year's Eve dinner in this hospital ward looked much more comfortable and relaxed than the lavish New Year's Eve dinner at the Gu family's old house.

The first thing Lin Jinyu did upon entering was to go to Mo Yan's bedside and inquire about his surgery. She instructed the boy to tell Gu Tingyu and herself if anything happened.

Only then did I notice the other people in the ward.

She knew Su Mailou and Duoduo; she had never met Lin Manlin.

Su Maiqi quickly introduced, "Mom, this is my best friend Lin Manlin. She came to Yuncheng before the New Year for some business, so she spent the Spring Festival with my sister this year. We've known each other since we were little, just like sisters."

Lin Manlin quickly came over to greet her: "Happy New Year, Auntie! I've often heard Mai Mai mention you, saying you have such a refined air. Seeing you today, you're even more refined than I imagined."

Lin Manlin was telling the truth.

Lin Manlin lacks the elegance and ostentation of a typical wealthy socialite, as well as the strong "motherly" quality often found in ordinary women.

There are definitely signs of aging, but there are no signs of cosmetic procedures; even the fine lines around the eyes are clearly visible.

When she smiles, her nasolabial folds are very noticeable.

But he looks very young and has an indescribable clean and energetic aura.

Some professional women have confidence and determination, but they lack the anxiety and effort that some women possess.

Like a quietly blooming orchid, subtle yet impossible to ignore.

It has warmth, yet also a sense of distance, making it not so easy for people to get close to it.

It exudes an elegant and comfortable aura that inspires trust.

It gave Lin Manlin an instinctive liking.
