Chapter 863: Timing Is Everything!
Zhang Lingying was just about to say that she was fine, but Leng Jian had already advised again, "Rest early, I will visit you after work tomorrow."
By the time Zhang Lingying snapped back to reality, the call had already ended.
She pursed her lips, didn’t say anything, pushed the shopping cart to check out, and then took a taxi home with bags full of purchases.
Because Leng Jian forced her to rest, Zhang Lingying allowed herself to sleep in the next day, and she was so groggy that when she heard the doorbell, she thought she was hallucinating.
When she came to her senses, she suddenly sat up, rubbed her eyes, and got out of bed.
Draping a light jacket over herself, she walked towards the door, yawning as she muttered in confusion, "Wasn’t it said you’d come after work? Why are you here so early? Did I sleep a whole day again..."
When she got up to open the door just now, she forgot to check the time.
She glanced out the window and saw that the light was indeed a bit dim, unclear if it was due to an overcast sky or because the sun was about to set.
Convinced it was Leng Jian coming to see her, Zhang Lingying let her guard down and directly reached out to open the door.
The next second, she saw Lu Jing and his assistant dragging a suitcase, standing eagerly at her doorstep looking at her.
Zhang Lingying: "..."
Lu Jing handed her a doctor’s note and explained, "The doctor re-examined me and thought they had misjudged. My recovery is going well, and I’m completely fit to be discharged early. There’s also a note inside detailing things to watch out for during home recovery."
Zhang Lingying looked stunned.
Lu Jing seemed oblivious to her shock, shoved the doctor’s note into her hand, and without needing his assistant’s help, took his suitcase and squeezed past Zhang Lingying, entering the apartment first.
He turned around to tell his assistant to take the rest of the day off, then briskly pushed the suitcase into the guest room of the apartment.
When Zhang Lingying came back to her senses, clutching the doctor’s note, she rushed to the guest room. Lu Jing had already pulled back the covers, lying on the bed she had just made the day before, rolling happily.
Hearing her footsteps, he instantly put on a sickly look, turned over, and looked at her sweetly.
What Zhang Lingying couldn’t stand the most was that look in his eyes...
She swallowed hard, trying to reason with him, "Lu Jing, you can’t be so willful, just leaving the hospital like this. I don’t have a doctor at home, if something suddenly happens, it could be life-threatening. Do you understand?"
"The doctor’s note is real, I didn’t fake it." Lu Jing raised three fingers, as if to swear, and said, "If you don’t believe me, I can call my attending physician right now. He can verify I’m fine."
Zhang Lingying gritted her teeth, ignored his pleading expression, and went to get her phone to call the doctor and ask what was going on.
As soon as she left, Lu Jing started rolling around on the bed again, inhaling the sun-kissed scent on the sheets, and felt his heart warm as if he were home.
When Zhang Lingying hung up the call and returned to the guest room, Lu Jing had already taken his clothes out of the suitcase and hung them in the guest room’s closet.
He looked back at her, touched his stomach, and said, "I’m hungry, is there anything to eat?"
Zhang Lingying didn’t get a chance to respond to him before her own stomach growled.
Having just woken up, she was hungry too.
Not bothering to argue with Lu Jing about his unexpected visit, she was just about to make something to eat when the doorbell rang again.
Zhang Lingying suddenly realized something, rushed to the door, and looked through the peephole. The person standing outside was Leng Jian...
