Chapter 399: This bed is more than enough for 2 people
Qiao Yu looked up, only to see a plain-looking woman standing there, dressed simply, with a kind smile on her face. She was sure she didn’t know this person because she appeared too poor."Do you know me?"
The woman squinted and smiled, but didn’t answer, "I was just saying how quickly you’ve grown, time truly flies. I happened to see you, so I boldly came over to say hello, sorry for the disturbance."
"Hey! Who are you really? This is so baffling."
Qiao Yu felt this person was strange; could she be mentally unstable?
Forget it, she didn’t have time to waste on such a person. She needed to head back immediately, lest Grandpa Xiao urgently looked for her.
...
Hospital.
In fact, not long after Song Song left, Xiao Jinghuai woke up.
Soon, Jin Bao Yan came to his hospital room, and seeing his energetic appearance, teased, "It’s really my first time seeing someone so comfortable while hospitalized. Old Xiao, you’ve once again changed my perception of you. Do you have to look so smug?"
Xiao Jinghuai threw a pillow back at him, "Have you been infected by Jiang Yixiu?"
"Pah!" Jin Bao Yan spat inelegantly, "Don’t compare me to that pig brain. I’m here to discuss serious matters with you."
Actually, Xiao Jinghuai already anticipated what he would say, "Didn’t find out the identities of those two assassins?"
"Right!"
Jin Bao Yan rubbed his brow bone, "Old Xiao, if they are targeting your woman, then she must have quite the background! There are very few people I can’t track down, and those two assassins have no records and their faces are fake, having undergone extensive cosmetic surgery."
"No fingerprints in the database, no identity information, the face is fake, combining these three makes me very interested indeed."
Xiao Jinghuai’s expression became much more serious, "Bao Yan, help me assign some people to protect her. I’m afraid if the first attempt failed, there might be a second. But don’t let her know there are bodyguards around her..."
"Also, she’s coming back soon. You should leave first!"
"...Old Xiao, you’re pathetic, always considering her at every turn."
Jin Bao Yan sneered disdainfully, "The taste of women is indeed good, but indulging is one thing, I definitely don’t want to get entangled with them."
Xiao Jinghuai squinted slightly, "Oh? Haven’t you already been entangled?"
"That Huo Huohuo is not easy to deal with."
Jin Bao Yan originally intended to stay a little longer, but suddenly lost the mood, and with a cold face said, "I’m leaving. Rest well!"
Just as he stepped out the door, he saw Song Song returning...
Song Song intended to greet him, but seeing that ice-cold face as if she owed him millions, swallowed back the words at the tip of her tongue.
She always felt like she had offended Jin Bao Yan before; every time they met, he never gave her a friendly face.
What was he here for?
Was it about those two assassins?
Thinking of this, Song Song hastened into the hospital room, seeing the man indeed awake already, holding a medical journal. The sunlight made him look even more handsome, impossible to look away.
Xiao Jinghuai turned his head, facing her startled eyes, smiled, "Back already?"
"...Hmm, when did you wake up? Doesn’t seem like you slept for long."
Song Song placed the daily supplies she was holding on the coffee table, feeling like something was off...
Then it suddenly struck her, pointing to someplace, "Where’s the bed here?"
Xiao Jinghuai said indifferently, "Oh, the nurse told me the hospital is short on beds, so I donated that one."
Song Song’s eyes widened, "Then where do I sleep at night?"
Xiao Jinghuai shifted to the other side of the bed, patting the spot beside him, "Sleep here. This bed is more than enough for two people."
