River Shao Yu said first, ”You don't understand it now, but you will understand it sooner or later.”

Ye Ning Xiao also came back to her senses. She looked at Jiang Shaoyi without saying a word.

Ye Ningxiao said, ”There's nothing else for you to do. I'm leaving.” She didn't want to be alone with Jiang Shaoyi here.

”I've already been shot to save you, but you still have the heart to leave me behind?” Jiang Shaoyi said as he looked at Ye Ningxiao.

”But …” When Ye Ningxiao heard his words, she hesitated.

River Shao Yu was secretly happy in his heart. He knew that she was like this so he continued to say, ”Why don't you stay here tonight to take care of me?” Besides, the doctor said that I might have a fever tonight. Are you going to leave me like this? No matter what, I still can be considered as your savior. ”

Hearing Jiang Shaoyi's words, Ye Ning Xiao felt embarrassed. She said, ”Alright then, only today.”

”I still have a servant here, so you don't have to do anything. Just stay here and watch me.” River Shao Yu said.

Ye Ningxiao could only nod.

Ye Ningxiao was thinking about how she would explain it to Fang Anlang if she did not return tonight. She also didn't tell Fang Anwang that she wanted to come to Jiang Shaoyi's place, so she couldn't say it now. Ye Ning Xiao thought about it and decided to lie to Fang Anwang to save him from worrying too much.

Ye Ning Xiao said to Jiang Shaoyi, ”I'm going out to make a phone call.”

River Shao Yu said, ”Is it for Fang Anwang?”

Ye Ningxiao did not answer him. She simply closed the door and walked out.

When she realized that Fang Anhui was on the phone, she had no choice but to wait for a moment. She then called Fang Anwang, who answered the call, asking, ”Xiaoxiao, where are you?”

Ye Ningxiao knew that Fang Anhui would ask her this question, so she explained what she had thought of earlier to Fang Anhui, saying, ”I'm at a friend's home. I won't be going back tonight. I'll stay here with her.”

Fang Anwang said worriedly, ”What friend?” I'll come and pick you up. ”

Ye Ningxiao hurriedly rejected it. ”No need. You don't know this friend of mine, so we haven't seen each other for a long time. We need to have a good chat tonight, so don't pick me up. I will be back when the time comes.”

Fang Anwang was still worried as he said, ”That friend over there, just say it out. What if I know him?”

Ye Ning Xiao pretended to be angry as she said, ”I already said that you don't know me. Alright, I won't speak to you anymore. We still need to chat.” Then, without waiting for Fang An Wang's reply, he hung up the phone.

Ye Ningxiao's heart was thumping. The feeling of lying was not good. Her heart was beating really hard. She was really worried that Fang Anwang would continue asking and she would expose herself.

Ye Ning Xiao stood by the window, looking at the lights outside. She thought that perhaps Fang An Wang had already returned home, or perhaps she was still worried about herself, or perhaps she was still blaming herself for pretending to be angry and hanging up the phone. She wasn't feeling well, but there was nothing she could do now.

Ye Ning Xiao calmed down for a while before she returned to Jiang Shaoyi's room. He was still lying down and when he saw her return, he said, ”Why did we tell him?”

Ye Ningxiao glanced at him but did not reply.

River Shao Yu also tactfully said, ”Alright, I won't ask.”

River Shao Yu continued, ”I had a servant prepare dinner, it'll be fine in a moment.”

Ye Ning Xiao nodded. She gently stroked the head of the spinach, which looked very weak. It raised its head to look at Ye Ning Xiao before lying down on the ground again. Ye Ning Xiao said, ”spinach, you're feeling terrible, aren't you? When we get back, I'll definitely make up for it. ”

As he finished speaking, he hugged the spinach to his chest in pain.

River Shao Yu's underling knocked on the door and said, ”The food has been prepared. Do you want to bring it over?”

River Shao Yu asked for Ye Ning Xiao's opinion. ”You must be hungry. Are you going to eat now?”

Ye Ningxiao thought about it and said, ”I have no appetite.”

River Shao Yu advised, ”What? Scared by the afternoon's situation?”

Ye Ningxiao pretended to be very scared and nodded. River Shao Yu said, ”Isn't this fine already?”

Then he said to his men, ”Bring the food here.”

At his command, the servants entered the room, placed some exquisite dishes on the table and left.

River Shao Yu gestured for Ye Ning Xiao to eat. Ye Ning Xiao had no appetite at all, and she also didn't want to eat Jiang Shao Yu's food.

River Shao Yu seemed to have guessed her thoughts. ”What? You don't dare to eat my food? Are you afraid that I'll poison your food?”
