Give an inch, take an ell

  After settling the bill, the two of them walked out of the jewelry store, Mu Tianyang said: "Your mother has woken up."

  "Then... can I..."

  Mu Tianyang lowered his head and sniffed her neck, saying softly: "Allow you to eat lunch first and come back! Two o'clock is the limit, isn't the time very long?"

  She hastily glanced at her electronic watch on her hand, eleven o'clock... only three hours left, and taking the bus back would also delay some time.

  "May I?"

  Mu Tianyang's face sank, and he said angrily: "Do you think you can haggle with me? If I wasn't in a good mood, do you think I'd tell you she woke up?! Don't be so presumptuous!"

  "Yes!" Wan Qing said immediately, "I will definitely be back on time!"

  Mu Tianyang hummed softly and said to Ah Cheng: "Send her away! Be back on time!"

  Yan Qing looked at her reflection on the car window, with a faint mark of a kiss still visible on her neck from two days ago. She covered it up hastily, absolutely cannot let mom see! After thinking for a moment, she said to A Cheng: "You send me back home first." And then gave him her home address.

  A Cheng glanced at her through the rearview mirror: "The president asked me to take you to the hospital."

  "I want to change clothes!" Wanqing shouted loudly.

  A Cheng hesitated for a moment, reached out to touch his phone, wanting to ask Mu Tianyang.

  Wan Qing was afraid of Mu Tianyang's disapproval and loudly said: "I will return on time, I won't cause you any trouble!"

  A Cheng hesitated for a moment, as if it was not easy to say this. He couldn't possibly tell the CEO: "Miss has your kiss mark on her neck, she doesn't want her mom to know, so she's applying to change clothes..." The CEO would probably fire him. So he withdrew his hand.

  Yan Qing went home and changed into a collared shirt to cover up the hickey, then rushed to the hospital. As she entered the ward, she saw Xu Ke Wei awake.

  "Mom—"

  "Ah, Wanqing?" Xu Kewei saw her and revealed a hint of relief in his smile. "You... what's wrong with your hand?"

  "Oh..." Wan Qing was stunned for a moment, then quickly said, "I fell during gym class."

  "How careless can you be?" Xu Kewei frowned. She lay in bed, unable to move, and after Wanqing came to her bedside, she grabbed Wanqing's hand, "Are your injuries severe?"

  "It's okay." Wanqing sat down, "Mom, are you alright? I was so worried about you..." She then burst into tears. It was all Mu Tianyang's fault for not letting her see him...

  "Don't cry, I'm fine," Xu Kewei said. "Just focus on your studies and be careful not to get hurt again, it's heart-wrenching to see you like this."

  "Hmm..." Wan Qing sniffled and rubbed her nose.

  Xu Ke Wei asked: "Not attending class?"

  "I... I'm on leave, and I'll be back soon. There's a test this afternoon."
