It took them more than two hours to return from the meal. A Miao was still afraid of seeing Shen Xinglan’s black face. Finally, when she entered the ward, she saw a red-haired man.

“Hi! A Miao, I am Ouyang Jin.”

He was very handsome. He was not a perfect and delicate one like Shen Xinglan or Le Yi, but had a very standard western face.

His blue eyes were deep and distant and the bridge of his nose was high and straight. He was most likely white, so his skin was very white.

“Hello…” Before, she did not have enough time to see what he looked like until now she did. She could not help thinking about how eccentric God was to give such beautiful faces to these people like Shen Xinglan. Even the gloomy Ding V was a handsome man.

“Oh? Have you really changed?” Ouyang walked around her. “Gee, your makeup is amazing. Make some time to teach me!”

A witty guy—A Miao never knew how to deal with this kind of person who acted so familiar.

“A Miao.” Shen Xinglan called her. “What did you eat? Have you had enough? Did the woman bully you?”

He Shishi let out a cry. “A Miao and I are friends, do you need to be so nervous?” She glared at Shen Xinglan and then looked at Ouyang Jin.

“Do you know why I am looking for you?”

Ouyang Jin nodded. “But I can’t leave now, I have to wait at least until Shen leaves the hospital.”

“Yes, I will stay and wait for you.” He Shishi tilted her head. “If you have time, we can discuss the plan.”

Le Yi chuckled. “We’re done here. You can discuss it at any time.”

“Not now.” Ouyang Jin flicked his hair. “I have an appointment tonight.”

He Shishi pursed her lips. “You just arrived in City S and already met a woman?”

“I met her on the plane!” Ouyang Jin put on his gloves and was ready to leave. “I’ll go first. This is really a wonderful night.” He made a gentleman’s salute to A Miao, nodded to He Shishi, and strode away.

“A Miao, I’ll go back to the hotel and contact you tomorrow!” He Shishi hurried to catch up.

Le Yi rubbed the space between his eyebrows. “You should also go to bed early. I will arrange for you to have a fluoroscopy tomorrow.”

“What’s the matter?” Once the irksome people had left, Shen Xinglan held A Miao and found that she was a little depressed.

A Miao raised up her eyes. “I think He Shishi is so pitiful…”

“You fool, she doesn’t need pity.” Shen Xinglan pinched her face and it felt very good, so he touched it again.

“That Ouyang… really doesn’t like her?”

Shen Xinglan thought and said, “When we met on the island, Ouyang was 15 years old. At that time, he had someone that he liked.”

A Miao was surprised. “So young?”

“It was his childhood sweetheart.” Shen Xinglan kissed her on the face. “Later on, after we escaped, he went back to find her, but I don’t know why he was still alone after he appeared again six months later.”

“But he just said he was going to meet… a woman.”

Shen Xinglan shook his head. “He was not like this before.”

A Miao could not understand this kind of psychology of men. If one loved another in his heart, how could he sleep with others?

But this was a matter between Ouyang Jin and He Shishi. She had no position to speak, so she did not get very involved. The next afternoon, she accompanied Shen Xinglan to have a check-up to see if he was recovering normally.

“Yes, there aren’t any changes except that there is a hole near the heart.” Le Yi’s understatement made A Miao’s face turn pale.

Shen Xinglan warned Le Yi with his eyes, who then touched his nose. “I mean he is completely well, and all that remains is to slowly nurse the wound to heal well!”

“Can he be discharged?” A Miao let go of the feeling in her heart. “Tomorrow is the weekend.”

While eating, Shen II came in.

“Boss, everything is arranged.”

A Miao asked curiously, “What have you arranged?”

“There will be reporters at the gate of the hospital when we leave tomorrow.” Seeing that her eyes were flustered, Shen Xinglan took her hand and soothed her. “Just need to make a public appearance, and then they will not make any more articles.

“You don’t need to say anything, just stand beside me and smile.”

A Miao gave him a blank look. “Isn’t that a fool?”

“You are not smart.”

This was outrageous. A Miao was enraged when she heard this.

“But I just like you!”

A Miao laughed mischievously.

The next morning, the hospital gate was crowded with reporters. Shen I and Shen II, along with a group of people, stood firmly in front of Shen Xinglan and A Miao, keeping the reporters away from them.

“Director Shen! Is everything in the newspaper true?”

“Have you and A Miao known each other for a long time?”

“A Miao, did you get cosmetic surgery for Director Shen’s sake…”

At that time, it was so noisy and there were questions everywhere. A burst of white light flashed and A Miao’s eyes became dizzy.

“Don’t be afraid. Leave it to me.” Shen Xinglan took her hand in a silently comforting way.

A Miao stood behind the wheelchair, pushing him, and took a deep breath while leaving the hospital entrance.

“Ladies and gentlemen, if you want to ask anything, be quiet or you will not get anything today.”

The cold voice of Shen Xinglan was not loud, but it instantly suppressed the entire audience. The reporters slowly quieted down. Just looking at the eyes of those two people was like looking at some delicious food, and all their eyes were sending out lights.

“One minute, ask one at a time.” Shen Xinglan was slightly above, overlooking all of them.

A young female reporter immediately said, “Director Shen, is what was said before in the newspaper true? Have you and A Miao known each other long?”

“Yes, we met several years ago.” Shen Xinglan pulled A Miao’s hand to his shoulder and patted her. “At that time, I fell in love with her at first sight!”

A Miao looked embarrassed and bowed her head, but then another male reporter asked her, “Why didn’t you accept Director Shen’s pursuit at the beginning, Miss A Miao, and why did you promise him when you went back to the Xia family?”

“This…” A Miao just wanted to speak but found that Shen Xinglan pinched her hand. She gave the man a reassuring look and went on to say,

“I thought he was joking with me before, but later I found out that he was serious.” A Miao paused and asked the female reporter present with a smile, “Would you not allow such an excellent man to pursue you seriously?”

A burst of laughter broke out in the crowd, and the woman’s voice that she would surely say yes could still be faintly heard.

“Therefore! I became his fiancee.”

The reporters were obviously satisfied with A Miao’s answer and the atmosphere relaxed immediately. Then someone asked when they would get married and how many children they were planning to have. All of this was skillfully handled by Shen Xinglan.

“Boss, it’s time.” Shen II reminded Shen Xinglan on time and the reporters also heard it.

A Miao pushed Shen Xinglan over to the side of the car but they were not besieged again. Just before getting in the car, the reporter asked to take a picture.

“Yes,” Shen Xinglan said and raised his head. A Miao thought he was going to talk to her, so she bent down to be near his face. Who knew that Shen Xinglan opened his mouth and kissed her!

“Good!” The reporters clapped as they briefly kissed.

After getting in the car, A Miao blushed and stared at him. “I hate you! So many people.”

“I just want to let those people know your position in my heart in case that there are people who have a devious way of thinking about you, haha…” Shen Xinglan gave a sinister smile.

A Miao scratched her hand. “I can’t even go to school.”

“That’s right, you can’t live at the school.”

“That’s your purpose in the beginning…”

Back at the villa, A Miao began to prepare things for the Spring Festival. Shen Xinglan accompanied her to buy things in the morning and talked with Ouyang Jin about the company’s affairs at home in the afternoon.

“A Miao, I’m going back,” early in the morning, He Shishi ran in to say.

“You’re not waiting for Ouyang?” said A Miao, looking downward. Ouyang had gone to the Ji Corp to take over power as the assistant to the executive director instead of Shen Xinglan.

“He promised to come to me when Shen Xinglan is ready.” He Shishi’s expression was somewhat lonely. “The lawyer called me and said that the old man had been there for a few days and I have to go back and see him.”

Thinking of her present situation, A Miao felt a little sad. “Are you alone?”

“I’m used to it. I’ve always been alone.” He Shishi blinked suddenly. “Why don’t you… accompany me back?”

Originally, it was just a joke, and she did not expect that A Miao seriously thought about it for a few seconds and then nodded and said, “Yes!”

“Huh?” This time it was He Shishi’s turn to be stunned. She asked incredulously, “Did you just say yes?”

A Miao repeated again, “Yes, I will accompany you back!”

“For… what reason?” He Shishi could not think of it.

“Didn’t you say we were friends?” A Miao responded logically. “It’s too cruel to let you face that situation alone. I’ll go with you.”

He Shishi looked at her gently chuckling for a while, then stood up. “Yes! We are friends!”

In the end, A Miao failed to accompany He Shishi back. Let alone that Shen Xinglan did not agree, but even He Shishi herself did not want her to.

“I won’t let my friends face a dangerous situation. Don’t worry. I’ll come back to you to play when things are settled.” He Shishi readily left without even seeing Ouyang Jin.

Shen Xinglan ground his teeth after he knew it. “If you steal my A Miao, I will kill you.”

On the contrary, Le Yi said a few words of praise in front of Ouyang Jin. “He Shishi is good, you should consider her!”

“No matter how good she is, I can’t give up the whole forest.” When Ouyang Jin said this, he was in need of a special beating. He looked like a jerk and A Miao did not want to talk to him for a long time.

Just the second week after Shen Xinglan was discharged from the hospital and three days before the Spring Festival, Ji Zeming arrived. He did not come alone; he also brought along Bai Yongwei and Ji Yan.

“You’ve recovered well. You need to take good care of your health as soon as possible. You’re so grown-up. You need to pay attention in the future. My heart can’t take it again.” Ji Zeming carefully examined the wound of Shen Xinglan. Like all fathers who cared about their children, he poured out a lot of words.

A Miao had been sitting next to Shen Xinglan to secretly observe Bai Yongwei and her son. Seeing that their eyes flashed triumphantly from time to time, she knew that they had come prepared today.

“Speaking of which, Ouyang Jin is also your friend?” Finally, after circling around, Ji Zemin began to bring up the topic.
