After hearing Su Lingwei’s words, Zhang Mingen hesitated for a moment and didn’t say anything more.
He was willing to trust Su Lingwei’s judgment in this matter.
After all, every decision Su Lingwei had made in the past few days had produced good results.
He also hoped that her decision this time would not be wrong.
After a busy day, when it was almost time to leave work, Su Lingwei received a call from Li Xinran.
“Wei Wei, can you come to the hospital to see me? I’m so bored here all by myself,” Li Xinran coaxed Su Lingwei over the phone.
Su Lingwei was defenseless against Li Xinran’s coaxing.
Li Xinran had been so good to her in her past life that she only wanted to repay her doubly in this life. She immediately smiled and said, “Okay, I’ll come to the hospital to see you after work.”
“I also want to eat the Black Forest cake from Grandma Qiao’s Dessert Shop,” Li Xinran said, smacking his lips. Their family’s cake shop was really delicious.
Su Lingwei agreed with a smile, her voice full of indulgence, “Okay, I’ll buy it for you after work. Is there anything else you want?”
“Another cup of First Love Tea’s milk tea would be even better,” Li Xinran chuckled.
Su Lingwei couldn’t help but remind her, “You’re asking for Black Forest cake and milk tea. Aren’t you afraid of getting fat? Just a few days ago, you were talking about wanting to lose weight.”
Stung by Su Lingwei’s words, Li Xinran whimpered twice and defended herself, “I’m not that fat. I’ve lost weight during my hospital stay. Jane said I should eat well and recover. I’ll lose weight after I recover.”
Well, most of the people who talk about losing weight end up eating first. They need to eat well before they have the energy to lose weight.
But Li Xinran was indeed as she said, she was not fat and did not need to lose weight. Su Lingwei had thought so before.
However, Li Xinran was very determined and even made a weight loss plan. Su Lingwei, seeing her so enthusiastic, thought she would definitely be able to stick to it, but it only took a few days for her to give up.
Of course, this is also a special case. When you’re sick, it’s best to take good care of yourself, eat what you want, and be happy.
Su Lingwei’s tone was gentle and indulgent. “Alright, I’ll go buy it for you after work.”
With this sentence, Li Xinran was satisfied. “Then I’ll wait for you.”
Su Lingwei heard the nurse on the phone telling Li Xinran that it was time to change the dressing, so Li Xinran said goodbye to Su Lingwei, and the two stopped talking.
Half an hour later, it was time to get off work. Su Lingwei turned off her computer, picked up her bag, and prepared to leave the office.
At this moment, there was a knock on the door.
Su Lingwei didn’t know who it was, so she walked over and opened the door to see Gu Feiyang standing at the door in a dark blue suit.
“Why is it you?” Su Lingwei was surprised to see him, with a hint of surprise on her face.
“Are you surprised?” Gu Feiyang came over today without notifying Su Lingwei in advance, wanting to give her a surprise.
“I didn’t expect it to be you. I thought it was Assistant Zhang.” Su Lingwei was being honest. Besides, Gu Feiyang hadn’t appeared for several days. She thought he must be very busy, dealing with family matters and company affairs.
Gu Feiyang said, “I happened to be passing by after finishing my business, seeing that it’s not time to get off work yet, so I came up to see you, and we can have dinner together.”
He came up directly without notifying Su Lingwei in advance, just to prevent her from having a chance to back out.
But in the end, Gu Feiyang’s plan would fail.
Su Lingwei apologized, “Today is a bit unfortunate. Li Xinran was hospitalized. I just called to promise her to buy food for her at the hospital.”
“Li Xinran is hospitalized?” Gu Feiyang has been very busy these days and didn’t know about this.
Moreover, few people knew about Li Xinran’s acute appendicitis surgery, so it wasn’t widely known.
Su Lingwei nodded, “She had acute appendicitis two days ago. When we found her, she had passed out from the pain, but fortunately nothing serious happened.”
“Then I’ll go to the hospital with you to see her.” Gu Feiyang also knew Li Xinran.
They were childhood friends. By going to see her with Su Lingwei, he could not only spend more time with her but also show his concern.
Su Lingwei didn’t think too much about it. Since all three of them were childhood friends, it was reasonable for Gu Feiyang to go and see Li Xinran when she was ill.
So she nodded and said, “Let’s go together then.”
Gu Feiyang then followed Su Lingwei downstairs.
When they reached the parking lot downstairs, Su Lingwei was about to get into her car, but Gu Feiyang stopped her and said, “Just ride in my car. It’s more convenient. Otherwise, we’ll have to find a parking space when we get to the hospital.”
Parking spaces at the First City Hospital were always tight.
Su Lingwei thought about it and agreed, so she got into Gu Feiyang’s car.
As soon as she sat down, Su Lingwei was fastening her seatbelt when Gu Feiyang handed her a small box.
“What’s this?” Su Lingwei glanced at the blue rectangular box, which was tied with a pretty butterfly bow in pink, looking very cute.
Gu Feiyang raised his lips slightly and gestured to Su Lingwei with his eyes, saying, “Here’s a gift for you, open it and see.”
Su Lingwei didn’t immediately take the gift, but instead asked, “When did you buy this gift?”
“A few days ago when I went to Country R, I saw this at the airport during the layover and thought it was nice, so I bought it. I just haven’t had the time to give it to you,” Gu Feiyang explained truthfully.
That day, while waiting at the airport in Country R, he went into the duty-free shop and happened to see a gift that caught his eye, so he bought it, planning to give it to Su Lingwei after returning to the country.
“You just gave me a bag a few days ago.” The way he was giving gifts, she would only owe him more and more. She hadn’t even had time to pick a gift for him. Although their relationship was good, she couldn’t keep accepting his gifts. At this rate, she didn’t know when she would be able to pay him back.
