Addicted to My Cutie and Sweetie

Chapter 853: He Needs a Bit of Preparation

Zhang Lingying was stunned for a second, squinted her eyes, and not so gently asked back, "I’m just going home to sleep, it’s not like we’re parting forever, what are you afraid of?"

Lu Jing seemed to realize that his reliance on Zhang Lingying was a bit excessive, and slowly let go of her hand.

He didn’t speak again, just lay quietly back on the hospital bed.

His appearance made Zhang Lingying start to reflect on whether her tone was too harsh, turning her head to look at his side-lying figure, she compromised, "As long as I have time tomorrow, I’ll come to see you, how about that?"

After Zhang Lingying finished speaking, she left, not noticing that Lu Jing behind her, after hearing her words, his deep brown pupils brightened, and he lifted the quilt and sat up.

"President Lu..." The assistant had just escorted Zhang Lingying to the elevator entrance, and when he returned to the ward he saw Lu Jing rummaging through the drawer of the bedside cabinet.

Immediately, Lu Jing turned his head and asked him, "Is there a mirror in the ward?"

Assistant: "..."

Assistant: "There’s one in the bottom drawer, and there’s a large mirror in the bathroom."

As the assistant spoke, Lu Jing had already found the mirror in the drawer, and when he took it out, he also grabbed a comb, arranging his hair in front of the mirror.

Noticing his somewhat haggard face and pale lips, with chapped corners, he frowned in dissatisfaction.

Today, Zhang Lingying’s visit was a bit sudden, he was unprepared.

Tomorrow, it can’t be like this.

Lu Jing put down the mirror and turned his head to instruct the assistant, "Help me call the doctor, I need to know how I can recover my condition the fastest."

The assistant, as if walking on air, floated out of the VIP ward, all the way questioning whether Zhang Lingying had secretly fed Lu Jing some medicine to make someone who was as if they didn’t care about living the day before suddenly become so full of life, and even care about his appearance.

After leaving the hospital, Zhang Lingying didn’t go home immediately but went to the supermarket first.

She bought some vegetables and fruits, as well as some favorite snacks, and then leisurely returned to her apartment.

Standing at her doorstep and seeing Leng Jian, Zhang Lingying froze with her big and small bags at the elevator entrance, blinking her eyes in surprise.

Leng Jian also noticed her return immediately.

His gaze fell on the shopping bags in her hand, he stepped forward, considerately took them from her, and asked, "Why are you back so late after rushing off work by yourself?"

Leng Jian glanced at what Zhang Lingying bought, realizing a trip to the supermarket shouldn’t take so long for these items.

But when he saw the takeout food containers, his eyes flickered slightly, vaguely guessing something, he didn’t continue asking, just let Zhang Lingying open the door first.

Under his urging, Zhang Lingying finally came to, dug out her keys from her bag, and while opening the door, she asked, "Why did you suddenly come over so late without calling me?"

"Where’s your phone?" Leng Jian asked.

Zhang Lingying followed behind him, letting him put the items in the kitchen, took out her phone from her bag, and looked down.

Goodness, there were a ton of missed calls on the screen!

And many unread messages.

She unlocked it to go through and saw all messages were from Leng Jian looking for her.

Zhang Lingying hastily explained, "My phone accidentally got put on silent mode, I didn’t know you were looking for me."

"Well, as long as you’re okay." Leng Jian said nonchalantly.

He didn’t pursue where she went that night.

As he arranged the items, he turned around, took Zhang Lingying to sit in the living room, and placed a document in front of her.
