Chen Xiuqi smiled and petted her head. “How would I not know when what happened between you two got so big like that? What’s more, I’ve known Xu Chaoran since before.”

Su Yaya’s heart jumped. It was just as she guessed. Xu Chaoran and Chen Xiuqi clearly had grudges with each other!

“But you don’t have to worry about that, I’ll deal with it. You just have to take good care of yourself and recover,” Chen Xiuqi said.

That would be the best. With the male lead Chen Xiuqi making his move, there’ll be nothing a cannon fodder like her will have to worry about. She was happy to be free and relaxed.

“Xiuqi, you’re the best,” Su Yaya rubbed herself on Chen Xiuqi lovingly, showing great reliance on him.

A smile curved up on Chen Xiuqi’s lips. He leaned down and kissed her at the corner of her lips.

Outside the ward, Duan Xiaoyu and Assistant Chen looked at each other. Then, smiles appeared on both their faces. As long as Su Yaya and Chen Xiuqi were both fine, then they can breathe easy.

Duan Xiaoyu’s stomach suddenly grumbled. She looked at Assistant Chen a little embarrassedly, but Assistant Chen was a very caring person. He said, “I think it’s a suitable time to celebrate with some supper. Would you like to join me?”

Duan Xiaoyu nodded. “Sure!”

Assistant Chen glanced at the two people inside the ward. Chen Xiuqi and Su Yaya were whispering to each other and didn’t need him for now. So, he looked to Duan Xiaoyu and said, “Let’s go.”

Then, the two of them left together for food.

Inside of the ward, Su Yaya had just finished acting cute with Chen Xiuqi. She rubbed her belly and said pitifully, “I’m hungry.”

“What do you want to eat?” Chen Xiuqi asked.

Su Yaya raised her chin and looked at the noodles on the table with a smile. Chen Xiuqi looked over and finally realized what that strange smell was coming from. It turns out that besides the smell of disinfectant, there was also the smell of instant noodles lingering in the room.

“There’s no nutritional value in instant noodles.” Chen Xiuqi looked at her with a serious face and said, “Why don’t I ask Assistant Chen to buy you some supper from elsewhere instead?”

Su Yaya raised up a finger and said, “I want to eat it once. Just once. It’s already been a long time since I last had it.”

When he saw how much she wanted to eat it, and staring at him with those pitiful eyes filled with pleading, Chen Xiuqi’s heart nearly melted. Silently, he sighed. He didn’t know what he was going to do with her but forget it.

What she wants is what she’ll get. It’s just eating instant noodles for one time, it’s no big deal anyway. He could just take her out to eat some delicious and nutritious food later.

“You’re only allowed to eat it this one time,” Chen Xiuqi made himself clear.

Su Yaya nodded obediently. “Mhm, just this once.”

Chen Xiuqi could only get up to bring her noodles over and placed it in front of her. “Here.”

Su Yaya opened the lid and took a deep breath. It smells so good!

“Do you want some?” After taking a bite, Su Yaya raised her head to see Chen Xiuqi watching her eat, so she asked him with a smile.

The smell of the instant noodles was really alluring, crawling straight up people’s noses and arousing their appetite. When Chen Xiuqi saw how deliciously Su Yaya was eating the noodles, he also felt a little hungry.
