The nurse suddenly opened the door and broke the silence. She pushed a trolley in and wanted to give Shen Zhuo an injection and infusion.

Ruan Liqing moved away and listened to the nurse telling her, "This liquid is irritating to the blood vessels. The family members are watching and be careful not to let the liquid drip too fast."

Ruan Liqing subconsciously wanted to explain that she was not a family member, but felt it was unnecessary.

After the nurse left, the ward became quiet again.

Shen Zhuo lowered his eyelids and said nothing. Ruan Liqing's eyes fell on his right hand placed on the edge of the bed. There was a needle on the back of his hand, his sleeves were rolled up, and his protruding wrist bones were very conspicuous.

She stared at it for a while, and was about to say that she would leave first, but Shen Zhuo's cell phone suddenly rang.

Shen Zhuo's face was as cold as frost. He answered the phone and said in a deep voice, "Speak."

I didn't know what was said over there, so he hung up the phone directly.

Ruan Liqing was watching from the side. She moved her fingers and said, "Secretary Han will probably be here soon."

As a result, as soon as she finished speaking, Secretary Han called, "Mr. Ruan, the board of directors has something urgent at the moment and I can't leave."

Ruan Liqing's eyelashes twitched: "You should tell Shen Zhuo."

"What I mean is, please take care of him for a while. After all, Mr. Shen has a stubborn temper. He originally planned to be discharged from the hospital today. I've finished handling it here and will be here soon."

Secretary Han had already talked about this, and Ruan Liqing couldn't say anything else.

She paused and looked at Shen Zhuo, whose face was not very good on the hospital bed. After hesitating for a moment, she sat down beside his bed and asked in a low voice, "When will Lin Jie come?"

Shen Zhuo's face was expressionless. He raised his eyes, his dark pupils stared at Ruan Liqing, and said tonelessly, "You can leave if you want."

He paused for a moment and then mocked, "Does it have much impact on you whether Lin Jie comes or not?"

Ruan Liqing grasped the meaning of his words, "He won't come?"

Shen Zhuo pursed his lips and said nothing, and turned his gaze to one side.

Lin Jie is indeed not coming.

The call just now was from Lin Jie. He hasn't finished handling the matter there yet, so he can't come over yet.

The drip on the bedside was flowing slowly. Ruan Liqing raised her eyes and looked at the medicine bag. She controlled her expression and said calmly: "The nurse said you can't live without the liquid now."

"So?" Shen Zhuo still tilted his head, not looking at Ruan Liqing.

His lip color is very light, and it seems that it is because he has not been in good health recently.

Ruan Liqing stared at the corners of his pursed lips for a while, and suddenly remembered that when Shen Zhuo kissed her earlobe in the safe passage just now, her lips were slightly cold.

Lin Jie didn't come until Shen Zhuo finished injecting fluids.

The nurse said the liquid was irritating and painful, but she didn't notice.

Shen Zhuo never looked at her again, either closing his eyes to rest or looking aside.

When the nurse came to take the needle, Ruan Liqing pressed the cotton swab for him, and her knuckles accidentally touched the back of his hand, which was cold.

She frowned, and after taking away the cotton swab, she put a corner of the quilt next to her on Shen Zhuo's hand.

However, before she could take her hand away, Shen Zhuo grabbed her.

He slowly turned his gaze back, and finally landed on Ruan Liqing's face: "Lin Jie is not coming, will you stay?"

Ruan Liqing looked at Shen Zhuo's hand holding hers. Due to the force, the pinholes on the back of the hand were bleeding a little.

She raised her eyebrows and said, "Wait until Secretary Han comes over and then let go."

After she finished speaking, she took another cotton swab from the side and pressed it on the spot where Shen Zhuo was bleeding. Her voice was cold: "Don't move your hands."

Shen Zhuo didn't respond, didn't move his hand, and still held her wrist.

Ruan Liqing could feel that there was no warmth in the palm of his hand and it was cool.

After maintaining this weird posture for about three minutes, Ruan Liqing loosened the cotton swab. After confirming that the back of Shen Zhuo's hand would no longer bleed, he threw the cotton swab away.

She looked at the time and saw that it was already five o'clock in the afternoon, time for dinner.

Ruan Liqing used her strength to pull it out. She took it and asked Shen Zhuo: "What's for dinner? I'll buy it."

Shen Zhuo's hands were empty, and he blinked his eyelashes before answering, "Whatever."

But before Ruan Liqing went to buy dinner, Secretary Han came.

His face was a little heavy, and when he saw Ruan Liqing there, there was a flash of surprise on his face.

Ruan Liqing breathed a sigh of relief, "Since Secretary Han is here, I'll leave first."

"Mr. Ruan, wait a moment." But before she took two steps, she heard Secretary Han say, "I'm afraid I have to trouble you, I have something to do later."

Ruan Liqing paused and asked, "Your Shen family's affairs don't seem to have much to do with me, right? Why do you really think of me as a nanny and have to take care of him here?"

Secretary Han explained in a serious manner, "You misunderstood. It's just that the matter I'm investigating has something to do with Nuanyang, so I think it's better for you to stay and listen."

"Is it related to Nuanyang?" Ruan Liqing thought of someone as soon as her mind moved. She asked, "Shen Jingheng?"

Secretary Han nodded, took out a document from his briefcase and handed it to Shen Zhuo, "The progress of Mr. Chi's investigation has been revealed. The rear-end collision that day was indeed arranged by him."

Shen Zhuo took the document and wasn't too surprised. He didn't even have a superfluous expression.

Ruan Liqing frowned, she didn't understand: "You mean, Shen Jingheng deliberately instigated it? But what's the point of him doing this? Can he really be so stupid and leave evidence after doing it?"

"He has no brains to begin with." Shen Zhuo spoke calmly and directly commented on Shen Jingheng.

Secretary Han turned to Ruan Liqing and said, "Mr. Ruan, the matter I am talking about has something to do with Nuanyang, because during the investigation, it was found that he seems to have had a lot of contact with your brother Ruan Jingbai."

Ruan Liqing looked at Secretary Han in shock: "Ah Jing?"

"It may be for other reasons, or it may be..." Secretary Han did not finish what he said. He paused before continuing: "In short, sometimes it is better for Mr. Ruan to pay more attention."

This was said tactfully, but Secretary Han meant to remind Ruan Liqing that Ruan Jingbai had other ideas behind her back.

She lowered her eyes and thought for a moment, then raised her eyes to look at Shen Zhuo.

The expression on his face was very calm. After sensing Ruan Liqing's gaze, he raised his eyelids and said, "I reminded you."

No matter how many thoughts she had in her mind, Ruan Liqing didn't show it on her face. She said with a cold face, "So how do you plan to deal with Shen Jingheng? As for A Jing's matter, I will naturally handle it."

What she meant by this was that she obviously wanted to protect Ruan Jingbai.

Shen Zhuo moved his hand, but there was still a little pain on the back of his hand. He said slowly, "I haven't thought about it yet."

Secretary Han really had something to do, so he left after staying in the ward for a while, but before leaving, he stayed close and helped order dinner.

The dishes were very light, and Ruan Liqing put the food away in silence. She was not in a good mood right now, so she naturally didn't look good.
