The Big Shot is Also Crazy About Me Today

Chapter 1200 - 1159: Nuannuan, Are You Hurt?

Shi Yuanbo let Li Guirong leave first, and Li Guirong was naturally eager to comply. After spending half a day here in seven-centimeter heels, her legs were going numb.

Had she not feared that Song Yansheng might discover something and blame her, she wouldn’t have been foolish enough to stay outside the ward.

Yet she still put on an act, shaking her head and saying, "You’re not leaving? Then I’ll stay here with you. No matter what, I’m Jiaojiao’s mother, and I can’t let you bear everything alone!"

Shi Yuanbo curled his lips into a cold smile.

Li Guirong had no idea that the reason he was keeping vigil here was that it was his own daughter lying inside the room.

He was here for Shi Nuan, not for Shi Jiaojiao.

But at this moment, he didn’t want to talk much with Li Guirong, so he repeated, "You should go!"

Seeing Shi Yuanbo insist, Li Guirong didn’t say more, just replied, "Fine, I’ll head back. Don’t exhaust yourself too much, your health is important!"

Shi Yuanbo paid her no mind, leaving Li Guirong feeling somewhat resentful as she turned and left.

To avoid running into Song Yansheng, Li Guirong specifically left through the back door. So when Song Yansheng returned, he only saw Shi Yuanbo outside the ward, his head bowed, looking dejected.

Today, Shi Nuan had drowned at the Shi Family’s residence. Song Yansheng was furious. The only reason he hadn’t immediately caused trouble for Shi Yuanbo was because he was Shi Nuan’s father.

From the moment he arrived at the hospital, Shi Yuanbo had been staying close, not daring to say much, obviously worried about Shi Nuan.

So, he suppressed all his anger.

Seeing Shi Yuanbo now, no matter how cold he was, he couldn’t entirely disregard Shi Yuanbo. His heart was somewhat moved.

His thin lips moved slightly as he stepped forward.

Shi Yuanbo heard footsteps and quickly stood up, meeting Song Yansheng’s piercing gaze.

"Yansheng..."

"I’m here, father-in-law, you can go home first!"

Song Yansheng spoke calmly, cutting Shi Yuanbo off.

Though Shi Yuanbo wanted to say something, he ultimately just nodded, saying, "Alright, Nuannuan... please take care of Nuannuan over here!"

Song Yansheng nodded, "Don’t worry, I will take good care of Nuannuan... at least better than you would."

His words clearly carried some resentment.

Shi Yuanbo’s eyes trembled slightly, lowering his head in shame, saying, "Yes... I really haven’t taken good care of Nuannuan, I let her down..."

Song Yansheng looked at Shi Yuanbo but couldn’t bring himself to say anything harsher, repeating, "You should go!"

Then he turned and entered the ward again.

The little girl was likely sleeping now—no problem, he could sit beside her so she’d see him as soon as she opened her eyes...

Watching Song Yansheng enter the room, Shi Yuanbo’s worry didn’t lessen but deepened.

Had he merely said his daughter had accidentally fallen into the water, Song Yansheng would already be this angry. If he knew it was due to an unpleasant encounter with Jiaojiao, leading not only to the fall but also a lost child... the consequences...

Shi Yuanbo didn’t dare imagine!

Not at all!

...

Shi Nuan slept undisturbed, waking up only when the sky turned dark.

By then, the room was unlit, quite dim, but she still noticed a figure seated in the chair by her bed, resting with eyes closed.

She knew who it was; warmth surged through her heart. He had been by her side, always, always.

He really was as he promised, always there, forever there...

So the scene from her dream wasn’t going to happen, was it? Surely wouldn’t happen.

She wanted to go to the bathroom but didn’t want to disturb Song Yansheng. However, as soon as she moved, the man in the chair woke.

"Nuannuan?" he called instinctively, then reached to turn on the light.

Shi Nuan felt a bit embarrassed, thinking Song Yansheng slept so lightly—she even doubted if he had slept at all.

Watching Shi Nuan sit there, the covers half off, his eyes flickered slightly as he asked, "Getting off the bed?"

Shi Nuan bit her lip, her pale face gaining a tinge of color, saying, "I... I want to use the bathroom!"

Song Yansheng stood up; Shi Nuan thought he’d make way for her to get off the bed. Instead, within the next second, he bent down, cradling her back with one hand and placing the other under her legs.

The scent on the man was pleasant, carrying a subtle sandalwood aroma. A gentle smile played on his handsome face as he said, "I’ll carry you over..."

Shi Nuan quickly tried to say, "No need..."

Song Yansheng had already lifted her into his arms.
