Wen Haowen sat in the hospital ward for a while before leaving for the office. He decided to just visit Ning Shuqian as well since he was already in the hospital.

“Haowen, why are you here at this time? Didn’t you say that you’re very busy with work?” Ning Shuqian asked, pretending to be shocked, although she had already guessed that Wen Haowen was there because Old Mr. Wen had been hospitalized.

Although she was thrilled that Old Mr. Wen had been hospitalized, since that meant that he was seriously ill, she dared not reveal her emotions to Wen Haowen.

Wen Haowen was as pale as a sheet. He stared at Ning Shuqian and said in frustration, “Father passed out all of a sudden and was sent to the hospital.”

Ning Shuqian sat up straight abruptly, forgetting about the wound on her stomach. Hence, she was overwhelmed by a sudden excruciating pain which made her turn as pale as a ghost. She instantly fell back onto the pillow.

Wen Haowen asked in astonishment, “What’s wrong? Does your wound hurt a lot?”

“Yeah, it really hurts!” Ning Shuqian exclaimed, sobbing and breaking out into cold sweat. She looked extremely fail and feeble.

Wen Haowen calmed down soon enough. “I’ll get the doctor to check on you.”

“Haowen…” Ning Shuqian grabbed his hand in a bid to stop him. She continued, “I’m alright, I just stretched my wound accidentally. I’ll be fine after taking some painkillers. Don’t worry.”

Although her wound did hurt, it was not as excruciating as she had made it out to be. She was simply pretending to be in extreme pain, in an attempt to seek sympathy and care from Wen Haowen.

Wen Haowen stared at her and insisted. “How can that do? You’ve already gotten so pale and you’re perspiring. I’d better get the doctor to come here.”

“The doctor has already said that the injury is not serious, though it’ll affect my daily activities. I’ll be fine after the stitches are removed in a few days.” Ning Shuqian was extremely pleased with how concerned he was about her. At this point, all he cared about was her injury. To him, she was much more important than Old Mr. Wen.

Feeling much more relieved, Wen Haowen wiped the sweat droplets off her forehead with a towel and said, “Why were you so careless when you already know that you’re injured?”

“I only stretched it by accident because I was really shocked to hear about Father’s condition. Haowen, how’s Father now?” Ning Shuqian asked nervously.

However, she had already guessed that Old Mr. Wen must have been alright. Otherwise, Wen Haowen would not be in the mood to visit her.

“It was a close shave but fortunately, he was sent to the hospital and treated in time. His life is out of danger now. Rest well and you’ll be fine,” Wen Haowen answered, thinking that Ning Shuqian was genuinely concerned about Old Mr. Wen. He thought that she was genuinely kindhearted since she was worried about Old Mr. Wen despite being mistreated by the latter.

“Good that Father is alright!” Ning Shuqian exclaimed in joy. It seems the mysterious man was right. Although Wen Zhihang’s life is out of danger now, he’s not in the right state to meddle with what happens in the Wen Corporation. It’s the best time for us to garner support. She thought.
