The next day, when Song Xi woke up, Lou Yuming had already left.
His biological clock was always early, and coupled with his unsatisfied desires, he had barely slept last night.
Conversely, Song Xi slept soundly, as if nothing had happened.
Lou Yuming was both angry and frustrated. He felt Song Xi was frigid, always able to stop at will and never initiating, leaving him hurt every time.
Was he that unattractive?
In the president's office, after Yao Yifan reported the day's schedule, Lou Yuming suddenly asked, "Did you have a girlfriend before?"
Yao Yifan was stunned, not understanding why Lou Yuming would suddenly ask such a question so early in the morning, and more importantly, it sounded strange coming from him.
"Yes."
Lou Yuming raised an eyebrow, recalling Song Xi's words from yesterday. Could it be that Yao Yifan was a closeted type?
"How many did you date?"
"Three." Yao Yifan felt he was acting unusually today. "Sir, why are you asking this?"
"Just asking."
Three, Lou Yuming thought silently. More than him. He wouldn't have guessed.
"Sir, if there's nothing else, I'll take my leave."
Lou Yuming couldn't very well bring up the issue of his own woman not being proactive.
"Wait." He suddenly remembered something and stopped Yao Yifan. "Where did you and Xiao Mo go yesterday?"
Yao Yifan paused and turned back. "Nowhere in particular."
For some reason, he instinctively hid the fact that Xiao Mo had hit someone. While her actions were understandable, if the sir found out, Xiao Mo would surely be reprimanded. More importantly, Xiao Mo was Miss Song's assistant, and anything involving Song Xi would cause the sir to make a big fuss.
Lou Yuming glanced at Yao Yifan's casted arm. "When your arm is better, you can go out with Xiao Mo. She's a good child. Explain things clearly, don't let Song Xi worry unnecessarily."
Yao Yifan didn't quite understand but still nodded in agreement. "Yes, sir."
Lou Yuming sat at his desk, indecisive. After a few hours, he still called Shao Cheng.
"Where are you? The hospital. I'll be there soon. I need to ask you something."
...
Song Xi was going to see Ye Tian today, so as soon as she woke up, she got dressed and headed to Yunji Hospital.
Before going, she asked Jin Ying for Ye Tian's room number.
After Jin Ying told her, she teased, "I thought you would have visited already."
"I've been a bit busy lately."
Jin Ying said, "I know. The actresses in our crew have been discussing you these past few days. I saw that press conference too. Amazing! That's just like you!"
Song Xi said, "I was just saying it casually."
"Come on, I know your temper. Oh, right, there's something I need to ask a favor for."
"What is it?"
Jin Ying said with a troubled expression, "I want to find a new assistant. Do you have anyone to recommend from your end? I think Xiao Mo is quite good."
Song Xi's expression turned cold. "Are you trying to poach from me?"
Jin Ying burst out laughing. "I was just using her as an example. Keep an eye out for me, will you? I'm filming lately and don't have the time."
"I'll see."
"Oh, you're the best!"
Song Xi got goosebumps. "Don't act cute. I'm hanging up. I'll talk to you later."
Ye Tian's room was on the VIP floor, heavily guarded. Even from a distance, two burly bodyguards could be seen standing at the door.
Song Xi hesitated for a moment before walking over.
Before she could speak, the two bodyguards hostilely told her, "Go away, no one is allowed near here!"
So fierce.
Song Xi, wearing a mask, said in a muffled voice, "I'm Ye Tian's friend."
"I'll say it again, go away! Or don't blame us for being rude!"
Song Xi frowned. These bodyguards were so unreasonable!
But since she was here, she had to see him. She wanted to know Ye Tian's current physical condition.
After much deliberation, Song Xi decided to seek Shao Cheng's help.
But before that, she went to the regular ward to visit her younger brother.
Ms. Wang had been reporting her brother's condition to her regularly. However, since opening his eyes last time, Yang Yang had shown no further signs of improvement.
Song Xi knew such things took time, but she desperately wished for the day Ms. Wang would call her excitedly saying Yang Yang had woken up. Only then would she feel that everything she had done so far was not in vain.
"Miss Song, you're here."
Song Xi nodded to Ms. Wang and then took off her mask.
"How has Yang Yang been lately?"
