In the early morning, the ward was quiet. A few glares were shining through the window with everything in this room shrouded in the tender and soft morning light.
Xia Xiaoluo turned over and opened her eyes, suddenly finding an enlarged face in front of her. She was just startled.
“Woke up?” Ling Tianyi naturally touched her forehead in an indifferent way and said, “Emm…not burning up yet. The drip was helpful.”
“What…what happened to me?” Xia Xiaoluo felt her throat was dry and painful while trying to speak any words.
“You got a fever up to 39°C. It’s me who sent you to the hospital.” Raising his eyebrows, Ling Tianyi showed a pondering smile, waiting for Xia Xiaoluo’s grateful words.
Thanks to her dry throat, however, Xia Xiaoluo was unable to speak out any word. Let alone speak to the bad guy who had bullied her.
One minute passed by silently,but Ling Tianyi did not hear any word of gratitude that he wanted. So, full of displeasure in his heart, there was growing coldness on his sharp-angle face as well as in his deep eyes.
“Hey, you bad girl, it is me who rescued you from the disgusting landlord yesterday. It’s also me who sent you to the hospital and gave you the best treatment. What’s more, it’s me again who accompanied and took care of you for a whole night. Now your temperature has come down and your mind has been cleared up. Don’t you have anything to say?” Pinching Xia’s chin, Ling Tianyi was so angry as if he would eat her.
“No, I have nothing to say to you. You are a real plague! Off with you!” Xia Xiaoluo said.
However, Ling Tianyi increased his strength on Xia Xiaoluo’s chin, leading to a wrong impression that her chin might be crushed by him. At the same time, the plague god was leaning closer and closer to her, saying “I have saved you out of my kindness. But, you repaid me even with no thank-you words at all. Let alone pledge to marry me. Instead, how dare you call me ‘the plague’? Do you have any conscience?”
“Off with you, you plague, you bastard…” scolded Xia Xiaoluo.
“Cursing me? It must be owed to the dullness of your lips!” Throwing Xia Xiaoluo under his body on the sickbed, Ling Tianyi gave a heavy kiss to her to stop her words.
Feeling weak all over, Xia Xiaoluo could not let the overbearing man, who was kissing her, off her body. While she was extremely helpless, Ling Tianyi’s cell phone rang.
"What’s up?" Ling Tianyi asked without any patience.
"President Ling, I am so sorry to bother you. Last Friday, you made an appointment with the deputy mayor to discuss about the land in the West District. The time is 10 o’clock this morning and it is arranged at the Jinqiao Business Center.” The call was made by Luna. Her boss who had being never ever late for work did not appear when it was already 9:30 morning. Therefore, what she could do was only to make a call.
"Got it. You should make the arrangement in the first place. Be careful and don’t neglect those coming from the government. I will arrive on time.” Ling Tianyi hung up his smartphone.
“Little woman, listen, stay here and wait for me to come back to deal with you. Or, I warn you, if you dare to run away, you will die!” Finishing these, Ling Tianyi took a bite of the little woman on her nose.
“Keep that in mind!” Ling Tian pinched her fair and tender cheeks of Xia Xiaoluo and then left as if nothing had happened.
However, Ling Tianyi could never expect that his warning was directly ignored by Xia Xiaoluo.
Within one minute after Ling Tianyi left the hospital, the pretty head nurse came in and inquired after her well-being, trying to please her.
Xia Xiaoluo ate a little rice porridge sent by the head nurse. With some power again, she planned to leave, for she had to work to earn money. Otherwise, she would soon be a homeless beggar.
“Miss Xia, you can't leave now.” The head nurse prevented her.
“I’ve already recovered from illness. I can go.” Wearing in patients’ hospital gown, Xia Xiaoluo walked to the door for herself.
“Miss Xia, you’d better take another rest for a while. Though your temperature just comes down, your body is still weak.” The head nurse hurriedly stood at the door.
“But I really have something to do! Why are you going to stop me?” Xia Xiaoluo was speechless, suspecting that why there was a restriction for the sick to leave the hospital.
Xia Xiaoluo insisted on leaving while the head nurse pleaded, saying that “Miss Xia, Mr. Ling had told us to make you have a good rest here. I am responsible for taking care of you. If I let you leave without official permission, I will then be fired. I have been working here for seven years to be selected as the head nurse, so I can’t lose this job. I beg you, please!”There was a pitiful look on the head nurse’s face begging for mercy in her eyes.Xia Xiaoluo was fired by Yin Meng Western-style Restaurant, so she could understand the head nurse’s situation. As the saying goes “Do not impose on others what you yourself do not desire”. Xia Xiaoluo curled her lips and sat down on the sofa, for she was never a cruel person.Then the head nurse quickly turned on the TV and handed the remote control onto Xia Xiaoluo’s hand, saying that “Miss Xia, how about watching TV? And what would you like to drink? I’ll get it ready for you.” “I a
Wearing in the hospital gown of St. Mary Private Hospital, Xia Xiaoluo walked on a less bustling street, but the rate of second glance was still very high. She really wanted to go back to her rented room for clothing change. But at the thought of the libidinous landlord, she gave it up. Idling on the street, Xia Xiaoluo had no other way than to ask for help from Dou Ya, her best friend. However, she knew that Dou Ya was also in trouble, for she lived with her uncle and her aunt from childhood. Dou Ya’s father passed away when she was a little girl and then her mother left her and remarried. Besides, Dou Ya’s uncle and aunt disliked her, regarding her as a burden. Yesterday in the western-style restaurant, Dou Ya offended the manager in order to prevent him from firing her. Consequently, both of them were fired. Having a terribly guilty conscience to Dou Ya, Xia Xiaoluo did not have the courage to disturb her again.“Job advertisement!” Glanc
In the VIP ward of St. Mary’s Private Hospital, an important patient was lost. The entire hospital went crazy at this, and almost half of the medical staff were on the street looking for Xia Xiaoluo, a patient who was sent by the major shareholder.Ling Tianyi and the deputy mayor had had lunch and chatted for a while, reaching an agreement of intention. He originally wanted to invite the deputy mayor to play golf but he received a call from the Director of the hospital.Ling Tianyi’s heart was going to burst, for he never thought that the little woman was so bold that she didn’t take his words seriously. He must immediately catch the disobedient chit and teach her a lesson.He arranged the company’s vice president Zhao Kaide and his trusted assistant Chu Wei to accompany the deputy mayor and his party. After a few words, Ling Tianyi left Jinqiao Business Center.Then he came to the hospital and replayed all the surveillance videos
Hously Hotel would be opened soon. The recruitment for administrative staff had already been ended before, and the recruitment for waiters was in great demand. Xia Xiaoluo and Dou Ya both successfully passed the interview. The two were excited, for Hously Hotel had staff quarters, and they were assigned to the same one.“We’ve passed the first test, but then there’ll be a seven-day training. We shall not be discarded.” Dou Ya was elated. The hotel would be opened on next Friday. If they succeed in passing all the tests, they would be regarded as the veterans here and would be prioritized to get promotion and pay raise.“Duo Ya, this is not a summer job. If you pass the training and appraisal, you’ll sign a formal contract. Are you sure you won’t go to college?” Xia Xiaoluo suddenly asked seriously. They participated in the college entrance examination in June, and their results would come out in a few days. Xia Xiaoluo was not good at studying. Neither coul
“No bullshit. Get to the point, or I’ll withdraw my promise for giving you my ‘Lightning’.” Ling Tianyi had no time to waste. He knew that Yao was a “bad friend”; if his attitude was not tough, Yao would speak nonsense forever like Monk Tang in the film The Chinese Odyssey.Yao Sheng had long loved that BMW and immediately cut into the point, “Xia Xiaoluo has been hired as a waiter today in Hously Hotel which is under your Huasheng Group. Just now, she and her friend were having spicy hot pot in the roadside food stand next to the hotel.t Then they went back. From 6 to 9 of tonight is the training time for new employees. I took some photos and sent them to you. You can check it out on your mailbox. Of course I would never make mistakes because I am the prototype of Holmes.”Ling Tianyi listened to the phone while parking on the side of the road. He then turned on the on-board computer and checked the photos, on which Xia Xiaoluo was eating spicy hot pot wi
“You...you shut up!” Ling Desheng yelled, and he felt that his son’s words made him lose face.Ling Tianyi determined not to keep silent. He stood up and said without hesitation, “Dad, Mom, Uncle Shen, together with today’s meeting, I’ve just seen Jiani for three times in total, not to mention I have no feelings about her. What is the difference between your arrangement and the forced marriage in the feudal society? If the couple has no love, how could they get happiness even if they are married?”Crash! Ling Desheng threw the glass heavily on the floor. Ling Tianyi knew that his father was angry, but he did not want to compromise, while Shen Jiani watched all of this for fun with a slight smile.“You’re irresponsible! Kneel! Apologize!” While Ling Desheng was mad at his son, Shen Jiani stopped him, “Uncle Ling, don’t be angry. Frankly speaking, I feel humiliated to be rejected by your son like this.” “Jiani, he just knows nothing
Ling Tianyi began to be responsible for the affairs of Huasheng Group since he was 18 years old. His father’s health condition was not very good these years. All the businesses in the company were mostly relied on him. He spent countless efforts for the company.In fact, Ling Tianyi loved his only younger sister very much. He could give all his money to his sister unconditionally, but he cannot hand over the decision-making power of Huasheng Group to anyone.However, although he now was in charge of Huasheng, the shares was in his father’s hands.Therefore, this warning was very serious.“Dad, Mum, trust me. I’ll handle my own business well.” Atter saying that, Ling Tianyi left his home. Driving fast, he was thinking about the girl who drove him crazy.When Ling Tianyi arrived at Hously Hotel, it was only eight o’clock. Su Peng, the general manager of the hotel, arranged a 22-story presidential suite for him yesterday.
Xia Xiaoluo hurriedly took the elevator to the 22nd floor and ran to the VIP area, fearing that she would make any mistakes and accidentally lose the job she just got. She didn’t catch up with the etiquette and process taught by the trainer just now, so she was still not familiar with some details.However, she could never imagine what was waiting for her was a lecherous wolf leaning on the couch.Making herself trim in the new work clothes in front of the door of Room 2208, she took a deep breath and calmed down. Then she knocked on the door, “Hello! I’m the waiter intern Xia Xiaoluo. What can I do for you?”“Come in!” Hearing that familiar voice, old memories recurred in Ling Tianyi’s mind.Xia Xiaoluo stepped into the guest room and recognized the guest sitting in the couch with his crossing legs. She was shocked and took a step back.My Goodness! Why the rogue is here?No, it must be a trap! Definite
