Chapter 342: Chapter 342: Will Subconsciously Care About Him

Was she waiting for him?

In his heart, there was some touched feeling, but even more warmth.

Lin Xinlan seemed very tired, asleep against the back of the chair, her head dipping little by little, looking endearingly simple and somewhat adorable.

The man gazed at her with a tender look, indulgently curving his lips upward.

He slipped off his suit jacket and gently covered her body with it, intending to pick her up.

Lin Xinlan was in a light slumber; as soon as he touched her, she opened her eyes.

Realizing his intention, she hurriedly pushed him away, "No, your injury hasn’t healed yet, don’t carry me."

The man’s movements paused, and his glossy black eyes fixed on her steadily.

Lin Xinlan had just awakened, still in a daze, her mind not fully clear.

She hadn’t even realized that she was instinctively concerned for his health.

Sometimes, natural reactions can truly reflect what’s in a person’s heart.

Seeing him staring at her, she asked with confusion, "What’s wrong?"

Rong Shaoze smiled and shook his head, "It’s nothing, let’s go, let’s head back."

"Oh." She stood up, and the man’s arm naturally embraced her shoulder, letting her lean on him.

"You wear the coat."

He took it, but instead draped it over her body, "It’s cold at night, you should wear it. I’m a man, I can handle the cold."

She looked up, slightly furrowing her brow, "But you are injured..."

The man suddenly kissed her lips gently, a soft contact without deepening their kiss.

It was a simple kiss, devoid of any ulterior motive, but it softened the heart.

Like a gentle feather, lightly settling on the heart.

Lin Xinlan opened her eyes wide in surprise as he let go of her; his dark pupils shone even brighter, his attractive thin lips curved, "Are you concerned about me?"

Her face suddenly flushed red.

Was she concerned about him? She didn’t even know herself...

"Let’s go, let’s go back and rest." Rong Shaoze didn’t wait for her answer, nor did he give her time to feel awkward, wrapping his arm around her as they left.

The two were silent on the way back, but the atmosphere had clearly changed.

Lin Xinlan realized that since the shooting incident, her attitude towards him had truly changed a lot.

She no longer disliked being with him. Rather, she had grown accustomed to staying with him.

Even subconsciously worried about him, paying attention to his every move and word.

What was happening to her?

Could it be she was starting to have feelings for him?

But he had hurt her so deeply; how could she forgive him so easily...

Lin Xinlan didn’t want to continue thinking about it.

Some things, the more you think about them, the worse they get—it’s often better not to think at all.

Back at the villa, after Lin Xinlan applied medicine to Rong Shaoze, they went to sleep.

That night he simply held her quietly, sleeping peacefully.

As dawn approached, Rong Shaoze’s mother leaned on the bedside, drifting to sleep.

Rong Shaoze’s father slowly opened his eyes, glanced around, and realized he was in a hospital room. His wife had been by his side all night long.

Looking at her slightly furrowed brows and restless sleep, he felt moved and pained.

He knew she still loved him, cared about him.

Otherwise, she wouldn’t have stayed so laboriously by his side without leaving.

Rong Shaoze’s mother’s elbow slipped, her head nearly hitting the bed frame, waking her. She lifted her head, and her first glance was towards Rong Shaoze’s father’s condition.

Seeing him with his eyes open, she was stunned, then joy followed, "Husband, you’re awake!"

Rong Shaoze’s father nodded slightly, a smile on his lips, "What happened to me?"
