Chapter 856: She Doesn’t Want Him Anymore...
"President Lu, perhaps Miss Zhang has been delayed by something, would you like to eat first and take a break?" The assistant noticed that Lu Jing had been sitting by the window since the afternoon, looking out with the window open, and gathered the courage to remind him.
He didn’t need to walk over to know that below the floor-to-ceiling window of this VIP ward was the entrance to the inpatient department.
Anyone coming to visit would have to enter from there.
Lu Jing had been waiting all afternoon, just hoping to be the first to notice Zhang Lingying when she arrived.
But as the sky was beginning to darken, Zhang Lingying should have already come if she were going to.
The assistant didn’t dare to say this directly, instead, he carefully reminded Lu Jing to take care of his health.
Lu Jing ignored him, stubbornly waiting for Zhang Lingying, as if torturing himself, he once again swiped open his phone screen to call her.
The phone rang for a long time, but no one answered.
Why wasn’t she answering his calls?
Was she avoiding him?
She had clearly said that as long as he behaved, she would come to see him today.
"Did you send her the videos of me having breakfast and lunch?" Lu Jing suddenly raised his head to look at the assistant.
The assistant was taken aback, quickly nodding, "Yes, I did, and I even added filters. I made sure Miss Zhang would see a spirited and handsome President Lu!"
"Did she reply with anything?" Lu Jing asked again.
The assistant hesitated for a few seconds, then shook his head, "Miss Zhang didn’t reply with anything."
The light in Lu Jing’s eyes grew even dimmer.
He thought perhaps she was finally fed up with him, unwilling to care about his life or death anymore.
Just like when they first lived together, even though he stayed in her home, she could still live as if she was alone, as if he didn’t exist.
The more he tried to make his presence known to her, the more she ignored him.
When he pushed her too far, she occasionally had some extreme reactions, like intentionally hiding all the food in the refrigerator, and then watching him go hungry.
The first time she did this, it really caught Lu Jing off guard.
Professor Zhang’s place was in the suburbs after his retirement, where transportation wasn’t convenient. Supermarkets were out of the question, and finding a small shop that sold anything was a challenge.
Lu Jing could get the assistant to send food to him, but the time spent on the road was enough to make him starve for a meal.
At that time, he realized that Zhang Lingying was not some reclusive fairy who abstained from worldly affairs, living off dew. In essence, she was like a little wild cat; she appeared to be soft and cute, but if you tried to breach her safety line, she’d instantly scratch you, showing her strength.
"President Lu, it’s very late. The doctor said you need to eat on time to recover quickly." Seeing that Lu Jing was silent, the assistant pressed on, despite the pressure.
Lu Jing glanced down at the meal in front of him.
A well-balanced meal prepared by a top chef that left no room for complaint, yet he had no appetite.
In his mind, he kept thinking about the food Zhang Lingying brought him yesterday and how she cared for him.
If she really never came again...
Just the thought of that possibility enveloped Lu Jing in a gloomy atmosphere, prompting him to suddenly push the plate of food off the table.
With a "bang," the food splattered everywhere.
The assistant, caught off guard, was startled and before he could react, he saw Lu Jing gripping the edge of the small coffee table, trembling as he stood up from his seat, only to start dry heaving before reaching the bathroom...
