He Miao did not know what Xia Yan should do now. She only knew that she was about to go crazy from the milky fragrance.

She firmly believed that Chen Zheng must have noticed sothing just now, so he deliberately used the milk to tempt her. However, the last trace of rationality in her was almost drowned by this sweet fragrance. Just as she was feeling uneasy, a glass of milk suddenly appeared in front of her and temporarily woke her up.

He Miao looked up in surprise and saw Mo Ran stretching out her arm and handing her a cup of freshly heated milk. Her exquisite eyes were filled with guilt. “Miss He, don’t bla President Chen. He just cares too much about Miss Xia.”

“Yes.” He Miao nodded gently, as if she had agreed to her request. She reached out to take the cup and drank it in one gulp. The blood in her body seed to be flowing happily.

Only then did she feel alive again, and her numb soul was relieved.

For the first ti, He Miao felt that the effect of milk on her was not entirely a good thing. In the past, Jing Yan had always been by her side, so she had never noticed this.

However, after experiencing the coercion and temptation of the morning competition today, she suddenly realized that while milk helped her beco beautiful, it also unknowingly beca a weakness that others could use to manipulate her.

If her competitors in the business world discovered her weakness in the future, the consequences would be unimaginable.

After Chen Zheng had coaxed Xia Yan, he stood up reluctantly and pointed at the door when he saw that it was getting late. “We agreed to have a al together. Mr. He can’t go back on his word at the last minute.”

He Miao sneered, and her expression beca worse and worse. “President Chen, I rember that your excuse was that Miss Chen was coming to visit Yanyan, right?”

Chen Zheng lowered his head helplessly and smiled bitterly. “Mr. He, you might not know this, but my sister’s health is not good. She suddenly fell ill today and can’t co to the hospital. That’s why I ca here. I didn’t want to break the appointnt.”

This excuse was a perfect excuse for his sudden appearance today.

He Miao looked away and said with a cold face, “This al was arranged by you in the na of Miss Chen. Since Miss Chen isn’t here, let’s et another day.”

“Miss He, are you not willing to give the honor?” Chen Zheng fiddled with the ring on his finger with a faint smile. He raised his eyebrows and looked at the milk on the bedside table. “I think Miss He is dissatisfied with my behavior just now. Don’t worry, I will definitely provide you with enough milk for dinner later.”

He Miao could not help but widen her eyes. After a while, she regained her composure and turned to the side to restrain herself from looking in the direction of the milk. “There’s no need to eat. Our company is still in the renovation stage. I believe there will be many opportunities to sit down and eat with President Chen in the future. I still have sothing to do, so I’ll be leaving first.”

“Wait!” Chen Zheng suddenly called out to her. The hand that was fiddling with the thumb ring naturally hung by his side and subconsciously clenched into a fist. “Believe it or not, even if Yanyan rembers everything now, she will definitely not agree to Auntie Lu’s cooperation with you, so you can’t agree to her.”

He Miao turned around and stared at him expressionlessly. Her gaze dropped slightly and looked at the girl who was in a daze behind him. Suddenly, she curled her lips and laughed self-deprecatingly. “Don’t worry. I told you before, I won’t agree to any request before I get Yanyan’s answer.”

With that, she left the ward without looking back, leaving Chen Zheng and 1M0 Ran standing in front of the bed for a long ti without saying a word.

Xia Yan blinked and watched He Miao leave before tentatively reaching out to tug at Chen Zheng’s sleeve. “What were you guys talking about just now? What kind of collaboration did my mother propose to Miaomiao? Is she going to break us up again?”

Chen Zheng was slightly stunned. He recalled that this little girl had also grabbed his sleeve with an indignant expression in the past, angry that her mother insisted on interfering in their relationship. He imdiately laughed involuntarily and said, “Yanyan, as long as you choose firmly, no one can break us up, understand?”

Xia Yan nodded in confusion, and tears quickly gathered in her teary eyes. “Brother Chen, you’ll definitely choose Yanyan and not abandon her, right?”

Chen Zheng suddenly paused, and his deep black eyes gradually lost their light. It was not until Xia Yan could not wait for his answer and had already laid back on the bed with her eyes closed that he made a silent promise in the room where the sunlight was gradually disappearing, “I won’t leave you behind this ti.”

In the dark night, Chen Zheng sat for a long ti before he slowly got up. The driver had already sent a ssage that Lu Shuang was heading to the hospital. He had to leave as soon as possible.

Mo Ran’s heart ached as she supported his stiff body. She advised him with a worried expression, “President Chen, let help you to the director’s office to rest before you leave. Don’t run into President Lu.”

“Alright.” Chen Zheng agreed to her request, but refused her help. After gently pushing her hand away, he staggered out of the ward.

The tightly shut door of the ward isolated the noise in the corridor outside, as well as the brightness of the lights. A beam of moonlight gently shone in through the window, but it could not illuminate the girl’s face on the hospital bed.

Xia Yan slowly opened her clear eyes after he left and smiled bitterly. “Just treat it as ti that I stole. Chen Zheng, you still can’t give the promise I want..”
