1117 Perplexed and Smitten 177 (2/2)
He looked down and perused the article for a long time before proceeding to read the comments.
”Young Sir, there's a Ms. Hu who's asking to visit you,” said one of the bodyguards who did not know about Jin Qingyan's dissociative identity disorder.
”Let her in,” he said while switching off his mobile phone, which he then left on the table.
Hu Xin was wearing a pair of cropped ankle jeans and a white buttoned shirt. She entered with a basket of fruits and said, ”Mr. Jin… I read about your accident in the news. I wanted to come visit you during the day, but Ms. An was here all along so I decided to wait for her to leave before entering.”
”Has she left?”
Hu Xin nodded and said, ”Yes… I saw her entering the elevator together with the children and Chief Fan.”
She was filled with fear and anxiety. In fact, she was surprised that she could even enter, because she thought that he wouldn't let her in even if An Xiaoning was not around.
Little did she expect…
Seeing that he was remaining silent, Hu Xin stammered and said, ”Um… I don't mean anything else. I just wanted to visit you.”
”Have a seat.”
She nodded in surprise and pulled a chair toward her. She sat down and began tensing. ”It'll take a long while for you to recover. Mr. Jin, rest well in bed and return to work only after you've recovered,” she said nervously.
Feeling a little guilty the moment she saw him looking at her, she hurriedly said, ”You may have sacked me, but I still remember all the help you've rendered me in the past. I thought that it would only be right for me to visit you.”
Sacked her? Slightly taken aback, he asked, ”What are you working as now, then?”
”I've recently opened a small cosmetic store.”
”Do you still live in Ben Yang District?”
”Yes, the rental for houses in that district are much cheaper compared to other places.”
Hu Xin found that Jin Qingyan was rather peculiar; she could sometimes enjoy a peaceful conversation with him, yet he would also give her the cold shoulder out of the blue.
She was baffled and bewildered.
However, she found that he had become much more charming than before.
Hu Xin clutched her heart in shock and amazement the moment she realized it.
Upon seeing her actions, he asked, ”What's wrong?”
”Nothing, nothing.”
”I'm a little hungry. Could you run an errand for me and go downstairs to get me some food?”
”What would you like to eat, Mr. Jin?”
”I want to eat… just get lots of delicious food.” He grabbed the wallet and took out five hundred dollars. He handed the cash to her and said, ”There.”
”It's okay, I have enough cash. I'll go get you some food now.” Hu Xin was on cloud nine. She was grinning widely from ear to ear when she exited the ward, unable to contain her happiness at all. She ran toward the entrance of the hospital and proceeded to buy lots of food and drinks from the nearby stores before carrying them to the ward.
The bodyguards outside looked at each other in puzzlement. However, they dared not make any comments after asking Henry about it.
However, they did not stop at that.
In reality, they still gave An Xiaoning a call behind his back.
However, An Xiaoning did not answer because she was in the midst of taking a shower at home.
They decided to call Fan Shixin instead and have him relay the message to her.
An Xiaoning made her way downstairs with her cosmetic pouch after coming out of the shower and getting dressed. She was greeted with the sight of Fan Shixin standing by the stairwell.
”Young Madam, I've been waiting for you for a long while.”
”What is it?”
”The bodyguards at the hospital called me just now to say that Hu Xin had turned up at the ward and Henry had allowed her to enter.”
”Got it.”
