This realization made Leng Chuanjin feel a bit happier.
Realizing that his attitude just now might have scared Xia Sanghuan, he couldn't help but soften his tone.
"If you go with me,"
"Mom and Jingzhan will both be happy."
"Okay."
The girl nodded.
Auntie and Jingzhan had been staying in the hospital almost every day. They must be feeling quite lonely by now.
The two of them walked back to the parking lot and then drove to the hospital.
"Mom."
Leng Chuanjin walked into the ward carrying the smaller cake, with Xia Sanghuan closely following him.
"Hello, Auntie."
She greeted Lin Shan obediently.
Leng's mother looked up from her notebook. The light from the computer screen reflected off her glasses, making her, who was originally kind and gentle, seem a bit cold.
Looking at Leng's mother's face, Xia Sanghuan suddenly thought that she really resembled Second Brother.
However, the moment she saw the girl, her expression instantly became vivid.
She closed the notebook, stood up, and walked over with a beaming smile. She took the cake from her son's hand.
"You've worked hard."
Her eyes then fell on the two of their necks.
She widened her eyes slightly, but it was only for a moment. She quickly returned to her usual self.
But the girl didn't miss the fleeting surprise in her eyes.
She felt a bit embarrassed and wanted to take off the scarf, but since Second Brother didn't show any reaction, if she took it off, it would only make her look more guilty.
She had no choice but to put her hands back in her pockets and stop obsessing over the scarf.
"It's chocolate,"
"Jingzhan's favorite flavor."
Lin Shan placed the cake on the table and opened the lid.
"How is Jingzhan?"
Seeing that his younger brother didn't respond, Leng Chuanjin couldn't help but frown.
Xia Sanghuan walked over and instinctively grabbed Jingzhan's wrist.
"He's fine,"
"He just took some sedatives and fell asleep."
The man also walked over.
He originally wanted to wake his younger brother up, but looking at his rarely peaceful sleeping face, he couldn't bear to do it.
"Jingzhan, wake up,"
"Time to get up and eat the cake."
Leng's mother didn't have as many concerns. She walked straight up and gently woke him up.
Leng Jingzhan opened his eyes groggily and murmured something softly, as if complaining about being woken up.
After seeing the people standing by the bed clearly, he became much more awake.
"Brother, Sister Huanhuan, you're here."
He showed them a big smile.
Judging from his slightly flushed complexion, one could tell that his condition was much better than before.
"Yeah."
As if infected by his happiness, the girl couldn't help but curl the corners of her mouth.
She reached out and stroked his head.
They also wanted to stay here longer, but unfortunately, both of them were very busy. So they had to leave after accompanying Jingzhan to finish the cake.
Before leaving, Xia Sanghuan also asked about Leng Jingzhan's recent physical condition and asked Elder Xiao for a copy of his recent examination report.
After all, these were all important data for future drug research and development.
When they got home, her first reaction was to take off the scarf before entering the door.
This time it wasn't out of shyness, but simply because she didn't want Leng Wanqing to get angry at her again.
Seeing her action, the man silently took off his scarf too without saying much.
As soon as they walked in, he handed the scarf to Wang Fu, who came to greet them, and also handed over the girl's scarf along with it.
"Put them in my cloakroom later."
He instructed the butler.
The butler was stunned for a moment after taking the scarves, then smiled without saying anything.
"Master Leng, Miss Xia,"
"Dinner is ready."
"Shall I put the cake on the table now?"
"No."
Leng Chuanjin said as he took off his coat.
"Bring it up after dinner."
After saying that, he turned to Xia Sanghuan and said,
"Go wash your hands."
Xia Sanghuan obediently went to wash her hands as told, then sat down obediently at the table and waited for dinner.
She was really hungry after walking around for so long.
After dinner, it was time to eat the cake.
But although it was called eating cake, in fact, each person only ate a small piece - after all, they were already full from dinner.
After eating the cake, the girl went back to her room.
She turned on the desk lamp and the computer and began to summarize Jingzhan's recent examination reports.
It was only then that she realized how deserted the house was.
On the huge dining table, there were only three people sitting.
She couldn't help but feel sorry for Second Brother.
If she hadn't come to live in the Leng family, the only one who would eat with him would probably be Leng Wanqing.
She was in a daze for a while, then shook her head and refocused her attention on the research.
...
"What's your decision on this matter?"
Shen Siyuan picked up her coffee and took a sip, then looked up at the person opposite.
"What do you want this for?"
Instead of answering her question, Xie Qiaoyang countered.
"Of course it's for profit."
"Who doesn't love money?"
She curled the corners of her mouth.
Her lips were painted as red as blood, looking extremely creepy under the slightly dim light.
Xie Qiaoyang opened his mouth. Before he could speak, Shen Siyuan raised her hand and stopped his next words.
"I know what you're going to say."
"If this thing gets done, it will surely be a big deal."
He frowned, not knowing what she was getting at.
"Otherwise, you and that old thing Leng Qiuhua wouldn't be so eager to get rid of that little girl."
Hearing her words, he widened his eyes for a moment, then lowered his head as if to cover something up and refilled his coffee.
"Miss Shen,"
"I don't understand what you're talking about."
He raised his head again. By now, his expression had returned to normal.
He wore an innocent smile, as if he really didn't understand the meaning behind Shen Siyuan's words.
Her expression instantly darkened, as if she didn't want to play around with him anymore.
"Alone, you can't compete with Leng Chuanjin,"
"Otherwise, how could that little girl always manage to escape?"
Her patience was running out, and she spoke very bluntly.
"Not to mention there's the Fu family behind her."
"If the Leng and Fu families really join hands in the future, you and Leng Qiuhua will be in big trouble."
She sneered and stood up as she spoke.
"You'd better think it over carefully,"
"Second Young Master Xie."
After saying that, she picked up her bag and walked out of the private room.
Looking at her back, Xie Qiaoyang fell into deep thought.
This wasn't the first time the two of them had talked about the Black Bone Spiritual Treasure.
In fact, he had already politely declined her the first time Shen Siyuan came to him.
Who would have thought that this woman could be so persistent?
Moreover, every word she said hit right on his sore spot.
