Chapter 523: Chapter 523: Won’t You Keep Me Company a Little Longer?

Indeed, too thin, with hardly any flesh on her face, and the bones protruding, it doesn’t look good from any angle.

But that’s okay, once she regains her health, she will fill out again.

Standing at the door of the hospital room, Lin Xinlan said softly to Rong Shaoze, "I won’t go in. Miss Du just woke up today, and my presence might upset her. You shouldn’t upset her either. Wait until she’s much better before you talk to her about us."

The man frowned slightly, clearly disagreeing with her.

She knew what he was thinking and quickly said with a laugh, "After all, we owe her. She has just woken up, would you have the heart to make her sad?"

Rong Shaoze laughed as he posed a question in return, "Here we are, worrying that she will be sad, but for all we know, she might not even like me anymore. If that’s the case, it would save trouble."

"How could that be!" Lin Xinlan gave him a look as if he were an idiot; she was well aware of his charm.

The women who fall for him are destined not to change their hearts easily.

Moreover, for Du Ruoxin, their relationship is still stuck a few months back. Back then, she had always loved him.

"Go on in, I’ll wait for you outside," she urged, pushing his body forward.

Rong Shaoze leaned in close to her ear and said in a low voice, "No getting jealous, and no running off halfway."

Lin Xinlan laughed, "I’ve noticed you’re getting more and more talkative."

Just then, the door was opened.

Mrs. Du was startled upon seeing them.

Then she promptly ignored Lin Xinlan and greeted Rong Shaoze happily, "Shaoze, you’re here! Come in quickly, Ruoxin is waiting for you!"

Rong Shaoze has come...

Du Ruoxin felt both joy and nervousness, her hands involuntarily gripping the blanket tightly, her eyes filled with expectation as she stared at the doorway.

Rong Shaoze glanced at Lin Xinlan, who gave him a reassuring look, and he let go of her hand, striding into the room.

Lin Xinlan didn’t follow him in; Mrs. Du blocked the doorway, with no intention of letting her in.

She smiled faintly and turned to sit down on a chair in the corridor.

Mrs. Du gave her a cold glance, huffed lightly, went inside, and closed the door.

"How are you feeling? What did the doctors say?" Rong Shaoze took long strides forward, sat beside Du Ruoxin’s bed, and asked indifferently.

His demeanor was very ordinary, showing no sign of joy.

However, Du Ruoxin wasn’t heartbroken, only a bit despondent.

After all, he didn’t love her, he just liked her a bit.

He had always treated her with the same attitude, and she was used to it.

But she had been unconscious for several months and had finally woken up, shouldn’t he have given her a hug?

"I’m in good shape, just a little weak. The doctor said that as long as they observe me for a few days and make sure there are no problems, I can be discharged," she replied.

Unlike him, her eyes twinkled with tenderness and deep affection, along with the joy of seeing him again.

"Hmm, if you need anything, you can call me anytime. You’ve just woken up, so you should rest more. I’ll leave now and come to see you another day," he said, then got up to leave.

Du Ruoxin immediately panicked, seizing his hand with eyes brimming with tears, she asked expectantly, "Shaoze, won’t you stay with me a little longer?"

Barely three minutes had elapsed since he came in.

His demeanor, wasn’t it too cold?

Rong Shaoze subtly pulled his hand away, his expression nonchalant as he said, "I have some matters to attend to, I’ll come to see you when I have time. You take good care of yourself and get better soon."
