Qiao Hua looked at Chen Xingjian in surprise and handed the child in her arms to the nurse. "What brings you here?"
Chen Xingjian walked in carrying some gifts, a faint smile on his face. "I heard you were hurt, so I came to see you."
"Heard?" Gu Wenze asked in a low voice, his eyes narrowing warily. "Who did you hear it from?"
To keep Qiao Hua and the child from being affected, Gu Wenze had specifically arranged for the news to be suppressed. No one should have known about her injuries.
Qiao Hua also looked at Chen Xingjian in puzzlement.
To keep the family from worrying, Gu Wenze hadn't even told her mother-in-law or the Old Master, let alone anyone outside the family.
Chen Xingjian's smile never faltered. "I have my ways, of course."
To Gu Wenze, those words meant that he had been secretly keeping tabs on Qiao Hua. Otherwise, how could Chen Xingjian have rushed to the hospital the moment something happened to her?
This only made Gu Wenze more certain that Chen Xingjian was interested in Qiao Hua.
Alarm bells rang in Gu Wenze's head. He wanted nothing more than to throw Chen Xingjian out of the ward, and his gaze was full of suspicion.

Chen Xingjian sat down beside the hospital bed. "How are you feeling? Any better?"
"I'm fine. Much better already." There was a hint of distance in Qiao Hua's polite reply. "You really didn't have to come all this way. It's nothing serious."
Chen Xingjian raised an eyebrow teasingly. "You nearly lost your life, and you're still saying you're fine?"
