1135 I Want to Make You Stay 13 (1/2)
She tried to give herself an out and said, ”I'll cook you a meal in return some other day.”
As soon as she finished speaking, she stood up and walked out of the dressing room, leaving the lunchbox behind. Yan Ge grabbed it and threw it into the rubbish bin.
Fang Erlan felt exceptionally pleased after seeing what he had done. She felt as if her spirits had been lifted, and she smiled at him.
Yan Ge smiled back at her.
The pair barely spoke to each other throughout the makeup session. However, there was a tacit understanding between the two of them.

Jin Qingyan finally came to and regained control over his body after being hospitalized for eight days.
He was flabbergasted to see that he was in the hospital, for he could not remember what had happened at all.
He could only recall falling asleep in Wei Ni Estate. The next thing he knew, he had woken up in a hospital.
An Xiaoning exited from the washroom to see that he was staring at her with his eyes wide open. She asked, ”Would you like to freshen up?”
”Sure,” he answered with a nod.
An Xiaoning helped him out of the bed and walked him to the basin in the bathroom, as usual.
Jin Qingyan hugged her and kissed her on the forehead. ”Good morning.”
Despite being taken aback, the quick-witted An Xiaoning immediately said, ”Good morning, Qingyan.”
”Why am I in the hospital?”
”Did you forget? You drove out at midnight and you were speeding along the roads when you collided into some racers. You were hospitalized afterward.”
”When did you come to the hospital, then?”
”When I first received the news, of course. I rushed here immediately. However, you seemed a little strange throughout the past few days.”
Jin Qingyan panicked and asked, ”Why?”
”Hmm… you didn't really want to speak to me.”
”Is that all?”
”Yes. What else could there be?” she answered, trying her best to appear normal.
He heaved a sigh of relief and apologized, ”I'm sorry.”
”What are you apologizing for? Xiao Chenyang is still asleep. He's been accompanying us in the hospital for the past few days. Xihou Jiaping showed up in between too. He tried to kill us.”
”He came straight to the hospital?”
”Yes. Fortunately, Xiao Chenyang was around. Otherwise, I wouldn't have been able to stop him.”
”He's such a kind person.”
”How rare for you to be complimenting me,” Xiao Chenyang said sluggishly.
An Xiaoning turned around to see that Xiao Chenyang was standing by the door and looking at them.
”I've never been stingy with the compliments that I give others.” Jin Qingyan began washing up. When he was soaping his face, he said to Xiao Chenyang, ”Go ahead and take your leave if you have something on.”
Xiao Chenyang waved at them and said, ”We'll talk later. Hurry and come outside, I need to use the toilet.”
An Xiaoning helped Jin Qingyan out of the washroom and sent Fan Shixin a text message.
She then drew the curtains open and opened the windows to let some fresh air in.
The room was bright and tranquil.
Fan Shixin arrived with three identical sets of breakfast and reported about the company's situation to Jin Qingyan while the latter was having his food.
Jin Qingyan gave him some instructions to follow when handling some important matters at the office.
Fan Shixin then excused himself and headed to the office, leaving the three of them behind in the ward.
Staring at Jin Qingyan, Xiao Chenyang said, ”Since you're injured, can you handle Xihou Jiaping without me if he comes back again?”
