  You Nainai was speechless.

  What a creepy coincidence. She had just thought of Tang Zheng, and here he was!

  Tang Zheng walked to You Nainai and glanced into the ward. Seeing Lin Nuan and Fu Huai’an’s foreheads leaning against each other, Tang Zheng didn’t enter and interrupt them. He smiled at You Nainai and handed a coffee to her.

  You Nainai’s brows furrowed, rejecting him solemnly, “Apologies, sir, I’m working right now and cannot accept your coffee!”


  Tang Zheng nodded and didn’t insist, appearing indifferent as he carried the two coffees and sat in the seat opposite You Nainai, then casually set the coffees aside. He crossed his legs, obviously not intending to leave.

  You Nainai was speechless.

  Tang Zheng whipped out his phone and took a look, then retrieved a pack of cigarettes from his suit pocket and shook one out to bite at the corner of his lips.

  She’d never seen someone as arrogant as Tang Zheng. This was a hospital, what’s more, the corridor outside a ward. How could he brazenly smoke here?

  When Tang Zheng was about to light his cigarette with a lighter, You Nainai couldn’t hold herself back any longer, saying, “This is a hospital! How can you smoke here? What happened to being civic-minded?”


  Removing his gaze from his phone, Tang Zheng looked at You Nainai, and a smile appeared on his cigarette-biting lips.

  He gazed at You Nainai in a provocative manner with his dark eyes, and under her watchful eyes, he pressed on the lighter…


  You Nainai was speechless.

  She felt that Tang Zheng was itching for a beating!

  What to do? She now felt like beating someone up again!

  The flame flickered, making Tang Zheng’s handsome face appear dark one moment and bright the next.

  After lighting up the cigarette, Tang Zheng sucked in a deep breath, then extended one long leg and stuffed the lighter into his trouser pocket. He then moved the cigarette from his lips and exhaled a white puff of smoke in You Nainai’s direction, his actions flippant.

  You Nainai tried her best to tolerate him.

  She tightened her fists by her sides and tried to treat Tang Zheng like air.

  The little nurse who just came out from the ward opposite Lin Nuan’s saw the lit cigarette in Tang Zheng’s hand and couldn’t help but frown as she called out, “Excuse me, sir…”


  The little nurse’s tone was a little harsh. Tang Zheng turned his head around…


  The minute the little nurse saw Tang Zheng’s dashing face, she paused, and her tone softened in an instant. Her hands gripped the sides of a tray tightly, and her ears were a little red as she cleared her throat and said in a gentle voice, “Sir, this is a hospital, and smoking is prohibited!”


  You Nainai opened her eyes wide at the soft-spoken little nurse who was talking to Tang Zheng, and there was a helpless expression on her face when she saw the way the little nurse was blushing…


  The young lady then retrieved a piece of candy from her pocket and handed it to Tang Zheng. “If your smoking addiction comes up and you really want to smoke, why not just eat a sweet!”


  You Nainai was speechless.

  Hur hur, another young lady who was deceived by Tang Zheng’s appearance!

  Tang Zheng smiled at the little nurse too. He reached out to take the piece of candy, and his slim and long finger accidentally grazed against the little nurse’s palm, causing the latter to retract her hand hurriedly, her face blushing furiously.

  “Then… is there anywhere I can put out this cigarette?” Tang Zheng asked.

  The little nurse hurriedly offered, “Give it to me! I’ll help you put it out!”


  Tang Zheng nodded, flashing a gentlemanly and polite smile. “Thanks!”


  The little nurse took the just-lit cigarette from Tang Zheng’s hand and heard Tang Zheng remind her to be careful because it was hot, which caused her ears to grow even redder. She left reluctantly, constantly turning her head back to look.

  You Nainai rolled her eyes and watched as Tang Zheng unwrapped the candy and placed it in his mouth. He then continued to gaze at her.

  What to do? She couldn’t hold back the urge to beat him up!

  You Nainai tried her best not to look at Tang Zheng. When their gazes met by accident, Tang Zheng took the chance to begin teasing her, making You Nainai almost unable to stand still.

  Why hadn’t she directly beat this fellow into a severely disabled person? If she had, he could lie in a hospital bed and properly exchange flirting glances with the little nurse instead of being an eyesore in her presence!

  “En…” Tang Zheng narrowed his eyes. “Lychee-flavored candy!”


  Upon hearing this, You Nainai’s ears turned so red that they looked like they were about to explode.

  She glared at Tang Zheng ferociously, then saw him walk up to her…


  This wasn’t a safe distance, it was too intimate and frivolous, but behind You Nainai was a wall, leaving her no space to retreat!

  You Nainai’s muscles tensed up all over her body, and she warned Tang Zheng in a low voice, “Come any closer, and I’ll beat you up and make you severely disabled, believe it or not!”


  Tang Zheng believed it!

  He could already hear the sound of You Nainai’s joints clacking…


  Tang Zheng retreated a step warily. You Nainai was a person who was true to her word, and if she said that she would beat someone up, she wouldn’t spare them on account of their past relationship.

  Tang Zheng had already suffered once, and he didn’t wish to go through it a second time!

  After landing in the hospital from You Nainai’s beating, Tang Zheng endured the brunt of Lu Jinnan’s endless ribbing. If he were to get beaten up again, Tang Zheng wouldn’t be able to raise his head before Lu Jinnan again in this lifetime.

  “You Nainai, you’re the one who said, ‘In the future, when I eat lychee-flavored candy, I will recall… my first time with you!’”


  “Shut up!” You Nainai lowered her voice and threatened Tang Zheng ferociously.

  Tang Zheng relished eating the piece of candy. He stood right before You Nainai, almost forcing her to admire the way he was eating the candy.

  The scent of the lychee-flavored candy could be vaguely detected by You Nainai in between Tang Zheng’s breaths.

  Her heart was beating faster and faster, and You Nainai’s tolerance had nearly been maxed out—she really wanted to beat him up!

  The door to the ward suddenly opened, and Tang Zheng, who was still enjoying his candy, saw Fu Huai’an exit the room and nearly swallowed down the unfinished piece of candy.

  Fu Huai’an glanced at Tang Zheng, then at the furiously blushing You Nainai. After a moment, he said, “You Nainai, you don’t have to stand guard over Lin Nuan, you only need to do so when she’s working. Sticking close to her 24/7 is too tiring.”


  You Nainai wanted to say something, but when her eyes met Fu Huai’an’s dark and unfathomable gaze, she couldn’t manage a single word. The submissiveness that was trained into her made You Nainai unable to say anything to oppose him.

  You Nainai still had a lingering fear and felt uneasy having lost Lin Nuan before.

  Even if Fu Huai’an said that she could go back, You Nainai wasn’t at ease and guarded outside the ward.

  You Nainai nodded.

  “Lu Jinnan just called and said that he would come over after sending Bai Xiaonian back. He has something to say…” Tang Zheng changed the topic again, glancing at his wristwatch. “He should be on the road already and will likely be here shortly!”


  Nodding, Fu Huai’an said, “You leave first with You Nainai!”


  “Okay! Then I’ll take her away first!” Tang Zheng went to hold You Nainai’s wrist.

  You Nainai asked, “Then tomorrow…”


  “No need to arrive too early tomorrow, just head to the Cloud Top Condominium at 10 am to take Xiao Nuan back to Tianfu Bay!” Fu Huai’an handed a car key to You Nainai. “Drive this car!”


  You Nainai took the car key and nodded. “Okay! I’ll be on time tomorrow!”


  Lin Nuan had just arrived at the hospital that morning, and there was nothing to take from the hospital, so she could leave after she was done with the IV drip.
