At that time in the hospital, Mr. Zheng, who had happily pocketed a 2,000-yuan red envelope, had no idea that this small act of his would help Ji Xiaoli so much.
Zheng Nanfeng was just holding his phone, idly thinking: Was 2,000 yuan a lot? For a playboy like him, he could squander ten times that amount in half a day.
Trying to keep him as a kept man with just 2,000 yuan? Young Master Zheng sneered. In your dreams!
But if the person was Ji Xiaoli... Zheng Nanfeng casually picked up his suit jacket and silently added in his heart: It's okay!
As soon as the nurse saw him striding out of the ward with his long legs, she looked up suspiciously. "Hey, are you leaving? The doctor said you need to stay in bed for another two days..."
Hearing this, Zheng Nanfeng hooked the corner of his lips and quickened his pace.
Tsk, stay in bed for two days? He didn't have the mood for that!
He was now eager to see his little wife and find out if she had any real feelings for him or was just joking around.
Vaguely, he could still hear the nurse saying behind him, "If you leave like this, you'll surely be back sooner or later."
Come back?
Humph! Brother Zheng was in great shape. How could he come back to the hospital? Stop cursing him!
...
Zheng Nanfeng might not need to go to the hospital now, but in a film and television city more than twenty kilometers away, there might be someone who needed to go.
Li Songyuan had protected Ji Xiaoli and fallen to the ground sideways. The pain in his leg was so intense that his teeth were chattering and cold sweat was breaking out on his body.
It hurt, so much.
His leg hurt so much that he was almost losing feeling.
Just as he pushed Ji Xiaoli and they both fell, the wild horse still galloped past. Its hoof suddenly stepped on Li Songyuan's ankle. He only heard a loud cracking sound. After the initial pain, his ankle gradually went numb.
It felt as if his ankle had separated from his body.
Li Songyuan gritted his teeth and gasped for air.
Ji Xiaoli had just gotten up from the ground. When she saw Li Songyuan like this, she was startled.
Firstly, she didn't expect that it would be Li Songyuan who saved her. Secondly, she didn't expect that Li Songyuan would be so seriously injured in order to save her.
Blood was seeping out of his jeans at the ankle...
"Editor..."
Ji Xiaoli's eyes trembled slightly. She was about to help him up when a man came running towards them in a hurry, wiping the sweat off his face.
"Are you guys okay? I..."
Before he could get closer, Ji Xiaoli glared at him fiercely. The man in front of her was wearing casual clothes, but his face was covered in dust and his body was in a mess.
Ji Xiaoli naturally recognized that this was the man who had been riding the horse just now.
"Oh, you managed to stop the horse?" Ji Xiaoli said coldly.
The man heaved a heavy sigh and said while wiping his sweat, "No way! That horse had gone crazy. I had no choice but to jump off..."
"You knew it was crazy and still rode it! Were you the one who got hurt!" Ji Xiaoli felt more and more annoyed as she listened. "Call an ambulance!"
The man was stunned by her scolding. Then he quickly took out his phone and dialed 120. While waiting for the ambulance, he started to chatter again.
"Alas, this whole thing... You guys are really unlucky. Well, we're unlucky too. We weren't originally shooting here. There was this scene today, and the director thought about borrowing a venue from the neighboring drama 'The Cheated Life'. We thought we'd just finish shooting and that would be it. Who would have thought such a thing would happen..."
By then, Ji Xiaoli had joined a group of people to carry Li Songyuan to the side and lay him down. Hearing this, she sneered coldly and said, "You're supposed to be a film crew. What kind of crew is this? Having two ancient people chase a modern person? And using a crazy horse for this modern person?"
Just thinking about it made Ji Xiaoli feel terrified. If Li Songyuan hadn't come in time, she didn't know what would have happened to her.
Just as she was speaking, the ambulance arrived. Ji Xiaoli quickly helped the medical staff carry Li Songyuan, who had fainted from the pain, onto the ambulance.
The man also came over to help, still muttering, "Of course we're a film crew. The name of our drama is super imposing. It's called 'I've Returned from My Trials'."
Hearing this, Ji Xiaoli's hands paused.
Then she tilted her neck slightly and looked at the young man with a somewhat complicated expression.
Kid, do you know that I'm the investor of this drama? Do you know that you almost ran over your financial backer?
...
When Zheng Nanfeng drove his Maybach ostentatiously towards the film crew, he had already anticipated the questions he would face.
For example, he was sure to meet Ji Xiaoli at the film crew, and she would definitely ask him, "Didn't I tell you to stay in the hospital? Why did you come back to the film crew?"
Then Mr. Zheng could take the opportunity to flirt. "You're here at the film crew. What's the point of me staying in the hospital?"
Another example was that when the people at the film crew saw the two of them, they would surely be extremely curious and come to inquire about their relationship. The bolder ones might even directly ask him if he was really being kept by Ji Xiaoli.
If that was the case, it would suit Zheng Nanfeng just fine. He could just ask Ji Xiaoli this question - Do you want to keep me or be with me?
Just thinking about it, Zheng Nanfeng stepped on the brake. A familiar smirk appeared on his face.
However, to his surprise, all his well - laid plans went up in smoke because the most crucial element was missing!
Ji Xiaoli wasn't there!
Zheng Nanfeng looked utterly confused as he found Pan Damin to ask about the situation. After hearing what happened, his confusion deepened.
It took him a while to digest this complicated piece of news. Then he realized something extraordinary. He frowned and asked carefully, "So... is Xiaoli in the hospital now?"
"Yeah!" Pan Damin nodded.
Zheng Nanfeng's face darkened a bit more. "Which hospital is she in?"
Pan Damin thought for a while and told him the name of the hospital.
Zheng Nanfeng's face turned completely gloomy.
Damn it... It was the same hospital he had been in!
So why on earth didn't he listen to her and had to drive all the way to the film crew to find her? Great, now he had to drive back again!
Zheng Nanfeng felt like the unluckiest person in the world. He was constantly doubting his life.
On the other hand, Li Songyuan had been sent to the hospital.
The doctor diagnosed that he had a comminuted fracture of the ankle. After putting a cast on him, the doctor arranged for him to be admitted to a ward.
Ji Xiaoli was pushing the wheelchair, taking him into the ward. Her face was solemn, and she was silent.
Although it wasn't her who was injured, she could clearly feel that Li Songyuan's injury was serious. Ankle injuries were difficult to recover from.
And all of this was because of her.
Ji Xiaoli felt even more guilty. After letting out a soft sigh, she asked, "Editor Songyuan, why were you there?"
Li Songyuan's face was still deathly pale, and he was too weak to muster any strength. But when he heard Ji Xiaoli's question, a hint of warmth appeared on his face.
He noticed that Ji Xiaoli had reverted to calling him by his proper title.
