The next day, at eight in the morning, the sunlight filtered through the beige sheer curtains and fell on the lilies, bringing a touch of warmth and romance to the hospital room.
Tang i slowly opened her eyes and looked around, spotting a familiar figure.
"It slls so nice. Did you save ?"
Wang Jinhui put down the dicine instruction booklet in his hand and walked to her bedside, looking at the frail Tang i with a surge of sorrow in his heart.
"You finally woke up. Do you know how worried I was last night? Fortunately, you fell near the lawn and didn’t injure your head, but you still scraped your arm. It was too dangerous!"
Tang i gently shook her head, trying to speak, but her throat was so dry she coughed several tis.
Seeing this, Wang Jinhui imdiately handed her a cup of water, carefully helped her sit up, and brought the cup to her lips, "Drink slowly, don’t rush."
Tang i took a sip of water, which soothed her throat sowhat. She looked at Wang Jinhui, whose eyes were bloodshot, and whispered, "Thank you, Mr. Wang. I’m fine, just a bit dizzy and unsteady."
Wang Jinhui smiled and shook his head slightly.
"From now on, I’ll always stay by your side, never letting you go again. No matter what difficulties we encounter, I’ll do my utmost to help you solve them. Trust ," Wang Jinhui said firmly.
Tang i’s heart trembled, and a hint of apology appeared on her face as she said softly, "Mr. Wang, I know you’re a good person, but, thank you. Could I borrow your phone to call my granddaughter?"
"Don’t worry, the children already know. They just left a while ago to make soup."
"What... what did you tell them?"
"I said you fainted while taking a walk, and that I happened to find you. They were terrified and stayed with you all night, just leaving a mont ago."
Wang Jinhui did not ntion the Huang City Cetery, and at this mont, Tang i felt sowhat shocked and grateful.
Last night, Tang i worried that Tang Xiaowan would follow her out of curiosity and had given her Chinese dicine pills to fall asleep quickly.
Unexpectedly, she encountered Wang Jinhui, and fainted, only to be saved by him.
"Thank you," Tang i said gratefully.
"Would you like an apple?"
The atmosphere in the hospital room beca delicately charged.
Tang i shook her head and slowly closed her eyes, "I’m tired, I want to sleep for a bit."
"Alright, sleep then; I’ll be right here."
Suddenly, several knocks on the door interrupted them, and Wang Jinhui glanced up, seeing it was the doctor making rounds before he opened the hospital room door.
"Hello, if it’s convenient, I would like to speak with the patient alone for a mont," the doctor said with a smile.
"Okay, that’s fine."
Wang Jinhui then closed the door and left.
He knew that with his current status, he couldn’t forcibly stay in the room without causing Tang i to feel antagonized.
Inside the hospital room, the two exchanged brief looks.
Then, the doctor began to flip through the dical records, with a smile on his face, yet his bright eyes were as inscrutable as black holes.
"I still have business to attend to. When can I be discharged?" Tang i was the first to ask.
"Last night, all your paperwork was completed. You can leave anyti you wish. Additionally, the remaining money will be transferred to your account in real ti—quite a substantial amount. Please check it."
The voice was low, ant only for the two of them to hear.
"Your hospital operates very efficiently," Tang i’s eyes brightened, and a hint of a smile flashed across her lips.
"Thank you for the praise. Are there any other discomforts in your body? If needed, we can arrange for a nurse to give you 24-hour personal care."
"Thank you, but there’s no need."
"One thing to note is that your blood sugar is sowhat low, so please be sure to..."
The doctor continued with his instructions thodically.
After the round, Wang Jinhui followed the doctor to his office, the brief mont of avoidance having led him to mistakenly fear that Tang i’s condition had worsened.
Who knew it was just a false alarm.
When he returned to the hospital room again, Tang i was already sitting up, drinking water, and appeared in good spirits.
"I thought Mr. Wang had left."
Wang Jinhui raised his eyebrows as he spoke, "No, I talked to the doctor for a bit. Your all-around checkup isn’t bad and there’s no major issues. Just pay attention to your diet and rest, and after so recuperation, you’ll be over it."
Tang i nodded, "Good, that’s good."
"Also, about the matter we discussed last night, how have you considered it?" Wang Jinhui suddenly changed his expression, speaking very seriously.
"It’s impossible between us."
"But I’m serious, as long as you’re willing, Nanfeng Mansion can be returned to its rightful owner. No, no, I don’t an that, I’m not using it to threaten you, what I an is..."
"Thank you for your generous affection, but you really have mistaken for soone else. Plus, I currently have no plans to purchase any property. If you’re in a rush to sell, I can introduce so other friends to you."
"Still unwilling to admit, alright then, let’s get to know each other again, starting from friends."
"Mr. Wang, I’m sorry, I’m tired."
After saying this, Tang i slowly lay down and closed her eyes.
The words "Nanfeng Mansion" pierced her heart like knives, evoking unbearable mories that replayed in her mind.
That day, it was raining heavily and very cold when she was forcibly taken away from Nanfeng Mansion by two n in black.
It was also on that day that she beca an orphan.
A few days later, two new tombstones were added in the Huang City Cetery, one engraved with her na and the other with her father’s.
Tang i silently repeated to herself in her heart: Nanfeng Mansion, Nanfeng Mansion...
How could she not want to return there!
Nanfeng Mansion is located on Nanfeng Road in the South Suburb of Huang City, boasting a history of nearly a hundred years.
Its architectural style is very ancient, with the main building’s exterior walls white and the roof featuring traditional flying eaves, grand yet finely crafted.
The interior decor uses top-notch wood materials, and even the furniture exudes an ancient charm.
Famous calligraphies and paintings hang in the main hall.
Two years ago, Wang Jinhui finally managed to buy Nanfeng Mansion from a foreign rchant after great difficulty.
It wasn’t that he couldn’t afford the price; he was willing to stake all his possessions, but others simply didn’t want to sell. It wasn’t until Wang Jinhui leveraged all his connections and, with the help of Leng Lingxiao, that he finally managed to move into this residence he had long dread of.
Leng Lingxiao once asked Wang Jinhui what he was after, and he said he was waiting there for his wife.
years ago, Nanfeng Mansion hosted a very grand engagent ceremony. The girl’s features were picturesque, and the boy was dashing.
Unfortunately, ti flies, and things have changed.
"Mr. Wang, from now on, just call Tang i. Regardless, you saved , and we can at least be friends," said Tang i as she suddenly opened her eyes.
"Friends! Alright, then from now on Tangtang won’t call ’big brother’ anymore; we can’t ss up the seniority."
"She actually calls you big brother?"
Tang i was quite shocked by the title.
But after thinking about it, this indeed sounded like sothing her precious granddaughter would do.
"Actually, Tangtang and I... have t several tis already, a very adorable child," Wang Jinhui said with an innocent smile, his face filled with happiness.
"I know, Tangtang told . You even made her a multifunctional pocket knife to fend off perverts, very sharp and well-crafted, engraved with the words ’live a long life.’ Additionally, you taught her where to strike most effectively."
With that, Wang Jinhui coughed lightly.
He hadn’t expected the little girl to be so honest about everything, and to hide his embarrassnt, he quickly picked up a big red apple.
"It’s very sweet, would you like to eat it?"
This ti, Tang i didn’t refuse but smiled and nodded, "Yes, please peel one for ."
