"Do you remember what happened yesterday?" the doctor asked gently.
"I only remember… Mr. Yao hitting my head against the wall and…"
Mianmian paused.
Fragments of memory suddenly flashed through her mind
Mo Yichen, his arms, his voice.
He saved her.
Her breath hitched.
Mianmian slowly lifted her eyes and stared at Mo Yichen.
Tears welled up instantly.
"Miss Mianmian… are you crying?" Wang Junhao asked, startled.
Mo Yichen's expression darkened.
He immediately stood and strode toward the bed.
"What did you do to her?" he demanded coldly.
Wang Junhao blinked in confusion. "I didn't do anything."
He stared at his friend like he had suddenly become a completely different person overnight.
"It's nothing…" Mianmian sniffed, her nose turning red.
"I remember everything now."
She looked at Mo Yichen, her eyes soft and grateful.
"Thank you… for saving me. I don't even know how to repay you…"
Mo Yichen fell silent.
He had always found crying women annoying
especially those who used it to get close to him.
But this time, her tears didn't irritate him.
Instead, his gaze lingered on her small, reddened nose.
For some reason, he felt an urge to touch it.
"It's not advisable for Miss Mianmian to cry right now," Wang Junhao said, stepping in to check her vitals.
After a brief examination, he nodded.
"She's stable. Just needs rest for a day or two before discharge."
He turned to Mo Yichen.
"She'll be fine." Then back to Mianmian
"If you need anything, just ring this bell. A nurse will come immediately."
With a small smile, Wang Junhao left the room.
The door closed softly.
Silence.
Mo Yichen began walking toward Mianmian.
Step by step.
Mianmian swallowed.
What is he doing?!
Her heart started racing as he got closer.
He stopped beside the bed… then leaned down.
His face lowered toward hers. She could feel his breath. Mianmian froze completely.
Is he… going to kiss me?
Instead of pushing him away... She slowly closed her eyes.
Waiting.
Seconds passed.
Then....
A hand gently pressed against her shoulder.
Mianmian's eyes flew open.
Mo Yichen was tucking her into the blanket.
"Rest well," he said calmly.
"My assistant will bring your food shortly."
Mianmian's face instantly turned bright red.
What was I even thinking?!
He saved my life and I'm here imagining nonsense!
"Why is your face so red?" Mo Yichen asked, frowning slightly.
"Are you running a fever again?"
He reached out and touched her neck.
Mianmian quickly pulled back, covering her face.
"I'm fine!" she said, turning away from him.
Mo Yichen paused, slightly confused by her reaction.
Without another word, he returned to the sofa and sat down, casually checking his phone.
Outside the hospital
"How dare you?!" Yuqi shouted at the bodyguards blocking the entrance.
After being escorted out earlier, she and Yuze had tried to return, only to be stopped by a group of stern-looking guards who threw them out of the hospital and suddenly refused to let them in, if only they knew Mo Yichen had ordered them to do that.
"My friend is inside!" Yuqi snapped. "And you're not letting me see her?!"
The bodyguards didn't even blink.
"This is outrageous," Yuze muttered.
"Do you know who I am?!" Yuqi yelled.
"My father can ruin this hospital's reputation in one day!"
No reaction.
"YAAAAAAAAA!!" she screamed in frustration.
Yuze immediately grabbed her arm. "Yuqi, let's go, this isn't going to end well"
She yanked her hand away.
Then calmly stepped back… and removed one of her heels.
"Yuqi... don't..." Yuze yelled
But it was too late
She threw it.
"YUQI NOOOOO... !" Yuze yelled again.
The bodyguards reacted instantly, stepping aside with trained precision.
The sliding doors opened at that exact moment.
And Wang Junhao walked out.
THUD!
The heel hitted him hard right on his groin.
