Chapter 192: Chapter 192: Cleverness

The caregiver said that all these activities were arranged by Bao Shaojin to prevent An Yin from feeling bored.

After a few days, An Yin had lost interest in all these activities.

Seeing her looking so listless, the caregiver cautiously observed her and tentatively asked, "If you’re really bored, you could contact Mr. Bao to keep you company!"

As an observer who had been faithfully caring for An Yin, the caregiver easily noticed that Mr. Bao harbored different feelings for Miss An in front of her.

"N-no need." An Yin was surprised the caregiver mentioned Bao Shaojin, and as she refused, her cheeks instantly flushed, making her look lovely and charming.

The caregiver, seeing her shy demeanor, widened her smile and couldn’t help but marvel, "Mr. Bao treats you so well. On the first day you were hospitalized, he stayed here the whole time. In the past couple of days, he rushed in near midnight just to check on you."

The caregiver rambled on.

"He came over at night?" An Yin was shocked after hearing what was said.

"Yes." The caregiver nodded cautiously, "But by that time you were already asleep, and Mr. Bao didn’t disturb you. He just stayed for a while by your bedside and then left."

An Yin’s cheeks became even redder.

She thought Bao Shaojin hadn’t come over these days.

Unexpectedly, he ran over in the middle of the night just to stay for a while and then leave.

They were just acquaintances, yet he cared so much for her.

An Yin’s mind lingered on a question: when she came to this hospital, why was Bao Shaojin also here? Was it really such a coincidence? Her heart was pounding, and she subconsciously placed her hand on her chest, her expression growing solemn.

"Miss An, are you feeling unwell?" The caregiver, seeing her clutching her chest, asked with concern.

"I’m fine, don’t worry." An Yin, seeing the caregiver’s anxious look, quickly denied it, fearing she would alarm the caregiver into calling a doctor.

"Really?" The caregiver probed cautiously.

"Yes." An Yin raised her gaze to meet hers, fearing she would overthink, and helplessly reiterated, "I’m really fine."

Only then did the caregiver breathe a sigh of relief. She hadn’t forgotten Mr. Bao’s repeated instructions to take good care of Miss An. Recollecting Mr. Bao’s aloof and stern face, she felt an instinctive fear, daring not to slack on tasks he entrusted.

The caregiver glanced at the clock on the wall, then stood up, "Miss An, I’ll go wash some fruits."

Every morning these days, Assistant Lin would bring the freshest imported fruits. Even after An Yin told him to stop, he persevered, consistently bringing them to the ward.

An Yin looked up, noticing a preservation fridge in the corner filled with various fruits. If she didn’t eat them, knowing Bao Shaojin, they would definitely be disposed of.

"Okay."

While eating the fruit, her phone rang.

An Yin glanced at her phone, and upon seeing the name on the screen, she slowly picked it up and answered.

"Mom..." she spoke softly.

"It’s Sunday, what are you up to?" An Ying’s voice was gentle, with a hint of affection.

An Yin felt guilty, thankful it wasn’t a video call, so they couldn’t see each other. Otherwise, she’d surely slip up, "S-sleeping in."

An Yin mumbled ambiguously.

An Ying on the other end didn’t think much of it. Her daughter liked peace, rarely went out, and had very few friends around her.

"It’s too cold outside, it’s good you’re not going out, make sure not to catch a cold." An Ying reminded her repeatedly.

"I know."

"Don’t blame Mom for nagging."

"Mm... cough cough..." After responding, An Yin couldn’t help but cough lightly.

An Ying immediately became worried, "Yinyin, have you caught a cold?"

"Mom, I’m perfectly fine. Don’t blow things out of proportion." An Yin pouted, surprised at how keen Mrs. An was, being able to spot something amiss from just a slight cough. After speaking, she quickly covered her mouth, fearing another cough.

An Ying noticed her daughter’s impatience and realized her sensitivity. After exchanging a few more words, An Yin excused herself to the cafeteria to eat and ended the call.

L·C Western Restaurant, located in the busiest area of the city, requires reservations to dine, and they don’t serve just anyone without a certain status.

Under the night sky, the crescent moon was shrouded by clusters of dark clouds, casting darkness over the earth.

Inside the building, lights shone brightly, flashing with dazzling brilliance, making one feel part of a luxurious feast.

A man and a woman were being led by the waiter, heading gracefully towards the restaurant. The woman leaned against the man’s embrace the entire time, her eyes filled with evident affection, easily noticeable at a glance.

However, their intimacy in such a public setting drew quite a bit of attention.

"Ah Cheng, what’s the occasion today for suddenly taking me out for a meal?" Jiang Keke looked up, a smile on her lips, gazing at the man she adored.

Bao Cheng slightly raised his eyes, navigating through the hall, "Staying at home the whole time must be stifling for you. I happened to have some free time, so I thought about taking you out for a stroll and grabbing something to eat."

After thinking seriously for a moment, Jiang Keke completely agreed with his thoughts. They had spent most of the time in the apartment recently, which was indeed stifling, "Ah Cheng, you’re so kind!"

Especially these days, he’s always by her side, making Jiang Keke feel an unprecedented happiness.

"Silly, you’re my girlfriend. If I’m not good to you, then who?" Bao Cheng lowered his head, using his other hand to gently but playfully tap her forehead.

It didn’t hurt at all, instead having a teasing flirtatious charm.

"Hehe..."

Jiang Keke laughed joyfully.

The two reached a corner spot where the waiter paused.

"Please take your seats!" The waiter adjusted the chairs for them.

Jiang Keke and Bao Cheng sat facing each other.

After they ordered, Jiang Keke looked around. The hall was filled with people, with a piano set up in the center. A woman played, and the melodious music wafted through the hall, adding a tender romantic ambiance to the room.

Just as Jiang Keke withdrew her gaze, she saw a woman walking towards them in the aisle. Dressed stylishly and striding like a model, her face painted with exquisite makeup, she had enticing eyes, a prominent nose, and lips coated in vivid red. Despite her heavy makeup, her every move exuded charm, without any sense of pretense, captivating Jiang Keke.

Perhaps due to Jiang Keke’s focused gaze, Bao Cheng was curious, "What are you looking at?" He murmured, turning his head too. Upon seeing the woman approaching, his expression became complicated, and he lowered his head.

The unfamiliar woman, upon noticing Bao Cheng, immediately broke into a smile. She took quick strides toward his side, chuckling softly, "Hi, what a coincidence!" While speaking, her fair hand patted Bao Cheng’s shoulder lightly.
