Upon seeing Shen Chaoxi in the hospital room, Zhong Hongguang was first surprised, then chuckled, "Knowing Xixi is here to chat with you, I didn't rush back!"
The doting implication in his words was obvious.
After being half-fed by the pair's banter, Shen Chaoxi stood up, called someone, and prepared to leave.
"I have a dinner date with Zhong Li; we're going to eat and then catch a movie afterward," she explained.
The dinner was real; the movie was just a spur-of-the-moment fib.
Helpless, Yao Chun could only let her go, "You go ahead, I'll go downstairs to check in again."
The ICU was just downstairs, and Yao Chun wanted to take another look before leaving.
Watching Shen Chaoxi's figure disappear at the end of the corridor, Zhong Hongguang then reached out to grab Yao Chun's hand.
He looked down and asked with a smile, "What did mother and daughter say about me before I arrived?"
