The atmosphere in the hospital room was not bad.
Xiao Manâs decision was actually detrimental to the company since her image plummeted and she violated some contracts, inevitably leading to substantial compensation and damage control efforts from the company.
From the companyâs perspective, Xiao Man had caused significant trouble, and as the president, Gu Liancheng should have reprimanded her.
However, after arriving at the hospital, he did not mention her issues at all.
Though the financial losses were not small, he did not regard them heavily. Compared to the companyâs interests, as a friend, he believed Xiao Manâs actions were not without reason and supported her.
Gu Liancheng had other matters to handle and with Xiao Manâs situation still needing resolution, many decisions awaited his judgment, so he had to leave early.
Qianxun, still unaware of everything, suggested he leave first and she would stay with Xiao Man.
Naturally, Gu Liancheng would not agree to this.
Neither would Xiao Man allow Qianxun to stay.
Luo Xuan must have watched the live broadcast and knew she was in the hospital. It was uncertain when he might turn up at the hospital, and having him encounter Qianxun would definitely not be a good thing; avoidance was the best strategy.
Therefore, Xiao Man said, "You better go back first, the wedding is right around the corner, you should start preparing. Your husband is so busy, do you really expect him to handle everything? Help him out."
"He really knows how to act," Qianxun feigned anger, "It seems like everyone thinks Iâve not been of any help at all?"
"You have, you have," Gu Liancheng smiled and drew her in, "We really canât manage without you. Letâs go, let Xiao Man rest well, letâs not disturb her anymore."
Gu Liancheng led Qianxun out of the hospital room.
A young doctor wearing thick glasses and a buzz-cut was walking towards them.
Their gazes met for a second.
He wasnât sure if it was his suspicion, but the way that doctor looked at Qianxun caught his attention.
Turning back, Gu Liancheng saw the young doctor entering Xiao Manâs room; after Lake checked his identity, he was allowed in with several nurses.
Was he being overly cautious?
"Husband, what are you looking at? Are you worried about Sister Man?"
"Yes, Xiao Man is indeed worrisome."
"Iâm worried too, but... with Lake and the others there, there shouldnât be any issues. Her whereabouts havenât been disclosed yet, so the media canât find her and wonât swarm here."
"Right, letâs go." His concerns were not about that.
...
"Miss Xiao, how are you feeling?" the doctor stood at the foot of the bed, hands on the rail, "Do you have any headaches or anything? Are you sure you donât want a brain CT scan?"
"No need, I know my own body well, Iâm fine, no need for a CT."
"Miss Xiao, many patients think they are fine, but it can be too late once issues are found later."
"Iâm really fine."
"Alright then, have a good rest."
A nurse was pushing a cart with an injection needle, heading towards Xiao Man.
She suddenly grabbed the nurseâs wrist, startling her, "Miss Xiao, whatâs wrong? Itâs just a nutritional injection, it wonât harm you."
"No need." Xiao Man said calmly.
The nurse looked at the doctor, troubled.
"If Miss Xiao says she doesnât need it, then donât administer it."
"Thank you, doctor."
The nurses left one after another, leaving only Xiao Man and the doctor.
Leaning back, Xiao Man composedly said, "Luo Xuan, why are you still lingering?"
Not disguising anymore, Luo Xuan just laughed and said, "I even changed my face, how did you still recognize me at a glance?"
