As he turned to make a phone call, he muttered nonchalantly, "Besides, there's still Fu Hanlin's coat, right? It's not like she's freezing. Why are you worrying so much here? She doesn't need your concern."

Suddenly, there was a stomping sound from behind Qin Heng. He jumped in fright, thinking Huo Mingzheng had stood up again. But when he turned around, it was just Huo Mingzheng shaking the ash off his face.

He raised his eyes to look at Qin Heng, "What?"

"It's fine." Qin Heng pretended to be calm, but inside he was freaking out. Huo Mingzheng was too much.

Even if the Jade Emperor himself came today, he would have to say that Huo Mingzheng did it on purpose.

He didn't hesitate for a second, immediately picked up the phone and called the nurses' station.

After hanging up the phone, he looked at the man sitting on the sofa, "Can I go now? It's freezing and you wouldn't want to get a chill in your bones."

Not knowing which word had struck Huo Mingzheng's heart, Qin Heng actually sensed a smile from his face.

His gaze fell on the ashtray, where Huo Mingzheng had extinguished his cigarette before. He sighed helplessly, "I've told you so many times not to smoke recently, but you just wouldn't listen."

Seeing him leaning against the sofa back, closing his eyes to rest, Qin Heng felt even more headache.

He got up and took a disposable cup from the cabinet, poured a glass of warm water, and placed it in front of Huo Mingzheng. "Are you going to stay here until Ji Lin wakes up?"

"I don't use disposable cups." Huo Mingzheng said lightly.

Qin Heng's hand froze. Oh, right, he'd forgotten just how difficult this ancestor was to please. He gulped down the water in his cup and finally found a brand new set of teaware from deep within the cabinet.

In the dead of night, two burly men sat facing each other, sipping tea.

After soaking in the noodles, Qin Heng couldn't stop yawning. He thought to himself that this was even more tiring than a night shift!

......

The corridor outside the ward was silent, everyone waiting quietly for Ji Lin to wake up.

Only the sound of nurses walking back and forth and the sound of closing windows could be heard.

Fu Hanlin said softly, "I'll go buy you a cup of hot milk."

As he spoke, he got up to his feet.

Fu Yan hurriedly grabbed his arm, "No need, I'm not cold or hungry."

"It's fine, I was just bored and decided to take a walk."

Fu Hanlin's eyes swept over her face gently, and finally landed on Ji Qing, "Ms. Ji, would you like something to drink?"

Ji Qing asked seriously, "Warm milk? Do I get a share too?"

Faced with Ji Qing's teasing, Fu Hanlin remained noncommittal, "Anything you want to drink, Ji."

Fu Yan quietly pinched Ji Qing, who remained impassive. "Let's just forget about it, thank you Mr. Fu, as a great benefactor like you, I wouldn't dare to trouble you."

After Fu Hanlin left, Ji Qing crossed her arms and leaned against the back of the chair, a look of understanding on her face. “Fu Hanlin is a good person.”

Ji Qing knows what happened to Fu Yan, and she also knows that Fu Hanlin stood up for Fu Yan in front of the media, claiming she was his fiancée, even though it wasn't true. She still admires Fu Hanlin for his character.

Fu Yan followed Huo Mingzheng, and Fu Hanlin could still protect her like this. Such a man is responsible and duty-bound, and he is certainly not someone with a narrow mind.

She thought secretly that if Fu Yan and Fu Hanlin could have a relationship, it would be pretty good.

However, as a bystander, she couldn't offer her any emotional advice.

Fu Yannao was in Fu Hanlin's room. That's where Fu Hanlin said those things to her.

Actually, she never knew when Fu Hanlin started liking her. It wasn't until he said those words that she realized.

At that moment, she was stunned. She never knew that beneath Fu Hanlin's composed facade lay such a turbulent and intense affection. It was an emotion she couldn't bear and couldn't possibly hurt.
