Chapter 52 Forcing Him to Do It
She peeked at the fried eggs in the pan, then glanced at the sandwiches on the table, went around to the other side, turned on the stove, and prepared to cook some noodles.
It is said that the way to a person's heart is through their stomach.
She thought this made a lot of sense, just like the restaurants downstairs in her apartment complex; she always went to her favorite one.
She simply cooked two bowls of plain noodles, which were just the right amount of eggs that Shen Mochen had fried.
After finishing his meal, Yu Nanqing hurriedly retrieved his bag and pulled out an exhibition ticket. "Mr. Shen, my studio is hosting an exhibition this afternoon. If you're free, you're welcome to come and take a look."
"Of course, you can come and visit if you miss me." She added after saying that, then picked up her bag, said goodbye, and left.
Watching her figure, Shen Mochen paused slightly, rubbed his fingertips on the admission ticket, and then raised his eyebrows slightly.
Yu Nanqing went to the hospital on the way. Yu Tu had already eaten breakfast and was playing cards with some card-playing friends in the next ward.
Upon seeing her arrive, he paused for two seconds, then hurriedly put away his cards, his expression somewhat unnatural.
It's just like a playful child being caught by their parents.
Yu Nanqing smiled, put down the fruit basket in her hand, greeted the others in the ward, and then looked at Yu Tu, who looked guilty, and said, "Dad, what are you hiding? It's just for fun, I won't scold you."
Yu Tu blushed slightly, but stubbornly insisted, "I wasn't hiding anything, I just suddenly didn't want to play anymore."
"Then the uncles can continue playing. I won't disturb them." Yu Nanqing didn't call him out on it. She peeled an apple for him, gave him a few words of advice, and then left.
She ran into Ning Zeye again as she was going downstairs. She paused for two seconds, hesitated for a moment, and then went to say hello.
Ning Zeye was also a little surprised to see her. "Miss Yu, are you here to visit a friend at the hospital?"
"My dad is in the hospital, so I came to visit him." Yu Nanqing nodded, glancing down at his hand with the cast on, and couldn't help but feel puzzled.
"I tripped on the stairs on my way back yesterday and broke my arm," Ning Zeye chuckled, looking quite cheerful.
"Oh, I see. Mr. Ning, you should be more careful when you walk in the future. Luckily, it wasn't your right hand that you fell." Yu Nanqing nodded and said with concern.
Ning Zeye was silent for two seconds, then gave an awkward laugh, "Miss Yu, I'm left-handed."
Yu Nanqing was taken aback, her expression slightly stunned, "I..."
“But the doctor said that once the injury heals, it won’t affect my ability to hold a pen and draw.” Ning Zeye responded with a slight lift of his eyebrows when he saw her frowning in self-reproach.
"…That's good."
After the two said goodbye, Yu Nanqing thought to herself that next time she came to visit her father, she should remember to also visit Ning Zeye.
She hailed a taxi on the street and got in, completely unaware of the jealous man sitting in the coffee shop across the street.
Yu Nanqing's works will also be on display at the afternoon exhibition, so she was assigned to work as a staff member to arrange reception and introductions.
She drank several cups of black tea, but Shen Mochen was nowhere to be seen. She sighed softly, feeling somewhat disappointed.
When someone called out to her, she smiled again and turned around to enthusiastically introduce herself to the person.
When the exhibition ended, Shen Mochen still hadn't arrived, leaving Yu Nanqing feeling disappointed, angry, and frustrated.
I kicked the pillar in front of the door, and before I could even rest for two seconds, I was called back to huff and puff as I moved things.
After a long day, she felt a little dizzy, but she still insisted on taking the car to the hotel.
Thinking that Shen Mochen might be busy with something and unable to go.
But as soon as she arrived at the hotel, she saw Shen Mochen sitting in the lobby, chatting and laughing with a beautiful woman.
She stopped in her tracks, a feeling of unease rising in her chest. She gritted her teeth, turned around, and went straight back to the Yu family home.
……
She didn't go to see Shen Mochen for the next two days, and of course, Shen Mochen didn't come to see her either.
She didn't run into Shen Mochen at the hospital until the day he was leaving for Beijing to say goodbye.
Yu Tu was somewhat frightened. Wearing a hospital gown, he sat on the edge of the bed and nervously accepted the gift from Yu Yan. Hearing that Yu Yan was no longer planning to build a laboratory in Jiangcheng, he breathed a sigh of relief and watched the two leave with a smile.
Yu Nanqing stood at the door of the ward. When she saw the two of them come out, she didn't even give them a glance before preparing to enter the ward.
Shen Mochen's face froze, his heart ached terribly, and he couldn't help but call out to her, "Yu Nanqing."
Yu Nanqing stopped in his tracks, a hint of pleasure rising in his heart, a triumphant glint in his eyes, "Mr. Shen, is there something you need?"
Sensing the distance in her words, Shen Mochen's fingertips dug into his palm, a metallic taste of blood spreading in his throat. After a long while, he finally moved his lips, "That day, I didn't mean to skip it."
Hearing his explanation, Yu Nanqing curled her lips, deliberately kept a straight face, and walked up to him. "Is that so? Mr. Shen and that woman seemed to be having a very pleasant chat. What's she like? Is she more delicate than me? Is she more voluptuous than me?"
Shen Mochen was taken aback, his eyes widening in surprise for a couple of seconds before his brows furrowed. "...A woman?"
"Mr. Shen, stop pretending, I saw everything." Yu Nanqing reached out and poked his chest. "Are men like Mr. Shen all good at playing around with women?"
"Doesn't your heart hurt?" She said something extremely harsh, each word stabbing right into his heart, making his heart bleed.
"Mr. Shen, please say something."
"I haven't, I haven't seen any women, I haven't been with any women." Shen Mochen's face was extremely pale, and his eye sockets were noticeably darker.
"You've misunderstood." He moved his lips, trying his best to explain, but in the end he could only utter a dry sentence.
“Oh…” Yu Nanqing looked up and responded with a long sigh, then took two steps back. “Then congratulations on clearing up our misunderstanding and resolving our differences. By the way, I also wish Mr. Shen a safe journey and success in his career after returning to the capital. It would be best if he could win the heart of his beloved.”
As she spoke, she backed away, until she was finally stopped when she reached the threshold.
With red eyes, Shen Mochen grabbed her waist and dragged her to the stairwell. He first bit her lip hard, making them both panting, before gritting his teeth and whispering, "Didn't Miss Yu say she was pursuing me?"
"So?" Yu Nanqing still smiled faintly, her tone nonchalant.
Shen Mochen was furious, feeling a pain in his heart that made it hard to breathe. "So... you were lying to me."
She lied to him again.
I lied to him again.
Hearing his dejected voice, Yu Nanqing couldn't keep up the act anymore. She tiptoed and covered his lips with hers. "So, I was just jealous. I was jealous that Mr. Shen was chatting so happily with that woman. I was jealous that Mr. Shen might be with that woman, which is why he didn't come to find me."
"After all, Mr. Shen is so handsome, I wonder how many suitors he has."
"Thinking about it, it's really a headache. I'll have to chase away a whole bunch of suitors before I can win over Mr. Shen."
As she spoke, she straightened his clothes and gently touched the corners of his eyes, which were slightly wet with tears. "Shen Mochen, you must stay in Beijing and keep a clean reputation while you wait for me. I will come to Beijing to find you the day my father is discharged from the hospital."
