"Tell me now!"
"President, it's..."
In the luxury ward of the private hospital under the Mutian Group, Sister Ling stared at Mingxi without blinking. She just prayed that Mingxi would wake up soon.
After guarding the bed for several hours, when Sister Ling was about to go to the water room to get some hot water, the door was suddenly pushed open.
Sister Ling looked up, put down the thermos in her hand, and looked straight towards the ward. She heaved a sigh of relief when she saw Shi Minghan and the four brothers of the Tang family coming.
"How is the young grandmother?" Minghan walked in and asked softly.
Sister Ling turned her head to look at the bed, and after a while, she spoke: "The doctor said, he's okay. He should wake up soon!" She looked away with some sadness, and then Sister Ling realized that in addition to Minghan and the four brothers of the Tang family, there was another person in the room.
The man was tall, wearing a black suit, with a full beard and overly thick eyebrows. However, his face shape and eyes looked a bit like someone she was familiar with, but she suddenly couldn't remember who he was.
"Who is this...?" Sister Ling narrowed her eyes and stared at the man with an inquiring look.
"Oh!" Minghan was the first to react and explained hurriedly, "This is the personal bodyguard I specially selected for the young grandma. He will protect your safety 24 hours a day!"
After listening to Minghan's explanation, Sister Ling nodded in sudden realization.
"Young nanny should be assigned a personal bodyguard. If something happens again, it will be difficult to deal with!" Sister Ling's inquiring eyes were still moving around the bodyguard.
"This bodyguard is very skilled, responsive and alert. With him, we can rest a little easier!" Minghan was very nervous when he saw Sister Ling constantly looking at Xue Qijing. Sister Ling had watched Xue Qijing grow up, so she was naturally very familiar with him. If she didn't recognize Xue Qijing, it meant that the transformation was very successful. If she did, then there would be one more person who knew that Xue Qijing was not dead.
The more people know, the more danger there is. He doesn't want Sister Ling to know.
Sister Ling looked at him for a long time before she spoke softly, but there was a bit of contempt in her eyes, "Minghan, is his skill really that good? No matter how I look at it... I feel it's just average. Look at his appearance?"
Xue Qi's eyes darkened in shock, and a few black lines slid down his forehead.
"Ahem..." The four brothers of the Tang family were choked by Sister Ling's words of disdain and suspicion. They all blushed, and they really wanted to laugh, but they could only hold it back. It was really uncomfortable!
Minghan glanced at Xue Qijing, his face showing embarrassment. He coughed twice, "This... this... You can't judge a person by his appearance, you can't measure the sea by a bucket, he looks... ugly, it's not his fault, but his skills are first-class!" When Minghan said the word "ugly", he showed a timid look towards Xue Qijing.
"Minghan, you'd better find a few more bodyguards as backup. Wait until young grandma wakes up and let her choose for herself! After all, they are her bodyguards, we can't make the decision!" Sister Ling glanced at Xue Qijing with some displeasure. The implication of this sentence was that he would not be able to pass at all.
Minghan smiled and said, "No problem!" If this look doesn't pass, at worst, he can just change to another one.
But Xue Qijing suddenly clenched his fists. Damn Sister Ling, she actually despised him. Although, I knew Sister Ling could be sarcastic and unforgiving sometimes, it turned out that this was how it felt to be humiliated by her.
"Okay, you guys stay with the young grandma first. I'll go out and get some hot water." Sister Ling picked up the kettle and walked out of the ward. But when she passed by Xue Qijing, her eyes turned cold and she deliberately raised her foot and stomped hard on Xue Qijing's foot.
“Ah…!” Xue Qi cried out in shock and stared at Sister Ling angrily.
But Sister Ling turned her head and glared at him with an even angrier look than his. "You claim to be skilled and alert, but you didn't even know I stepped on your foot. You will definitely be eliminated!"
Minghan and the four brothers of the Tang family stared at Xue Qijing and Sister Ling in amazement, they were so scared that they didn't even dare to close their mouths.
“Hmph…” Sister Ling twisted her slightly fat body, glanced at Xue Qijing, and then strode out of the ward.
After Sister Ling left the ward, Xue Qijing glared at Minghan angrily and shouted, "It's all your fault. It's okay. You actually made me look so ugly!"
Seeing Xue Qi's frightened look, the four Tang brothers held back the urge to laugh. They looked at each other, then moved towards the door of the ward and made themselves invisible from inside the ward.
Minghan glanced at Xue Qijing's angry eyes and smiled faintly, but he felt very guilty, "Boss, this is also the last one. Even Sister Ling didn't recognize you, let alone others. Hehe... Boss, take a good look at the young nanny!"
After saying this, Minghan also hurried towards the door.
The protruding wall just blocked them out. It seemed that they were the only two people left in the ward.
Xue Qijing cast his gaze towards Mingxi, and seeing that her face was frighteningly pale, his angry and sharp eyes instantly became tender. He walked to the bedside in small steps, sat down on the edge of the bed, and reached out to gently stroke her pale little face.
Seeing that her face was pale but her breathing was very even, Xue Qi curled his lips in surprise, "Wife, when will you wake up?"
He reached out and held Mingxi's slightly cold little hand, and his heart became extremely gentle. His eyes were gentle and full of deep pity.
Xue Qi stared at Ming Xi for a long time before he could not help leaning over to kiss her lips. However, when his lips were about to touch Ming Xi's lips which had already lost their luster, he suddenly stopped. He lowered his head, looked at the beard on his lips, and frowned.
This beard must be very painful for her, right
Xue Qi straightened up with shock and resentment, put Mingxi's hand on his face, and looked at her deeply.
In less than ten minutes, Sister Ling came back with hot water. Minghan quickly asked Xue Qijing to stand not far from the bed.
Sister Ling glanced at Xue Qijing, then placed the kettle heavily on the table. She glared at him fiercely. For some reason, she disliked this bodyguard very much. A woman's sixth sense told her that his intentions were not pure!
Xue Qi was shocked to meet Sister Ling's naked gaze, and suddenly said, "Sister Ling, don't you know that it is very rude to look at someone without any scruples like this?"
After hearing what Xue Qijing said, Sister Ling's face suddenly changed. She was about to scold this ignorant bodyguard, but as soon as she opened her mouth, she saw Mingxi's eyes suddenly move out of the corner of her eye.
She hurried to the bedside with joy, "Grandma, are you awake?"
Mingxi frowned, and slowly opened her eyes after a long while. She glanced at the people who showed anxiety in the scene, and finally closed her eyes weakly.
She just felt that she was weak all over, as if she had just experienced a life-and-death struggle. Even taking a slight breath was difficult for her.
"Young lady, does the wound hurt? The doctor said that if you bear with it, it will not hurt so much in a few days!" Sister Ling saw Mingxi opened her eyes and then closed them again, with her brows deeply furrowed, and thought that her wound was painful.
pain?!
Without Sister Ling's reminder, Mingxi hadn't noticed it. She slowly opened her eyes and saw Sister Ling looking at her with a worried look on her face. She forced a smile and said in a voice as weak as a mosquito, "Don't worry, it doesn't hurt at all!" Compared with the injuries she had suffered before, this was nothing.
"Grandma, please stop comforting me. The doctor said that the bullet hit the bone and it will be very painful after the anesthetic wears off!" Sister Ling saw that there was no expression of pain on Mingxi's face and thought that she was afraid that they would worry, so she kept enduring it.
Mingxi forced a smile, but it pulled her dry lips. She frowned, stuck out her tongue, and licked her lips lightly.
Xue Qi was surprised to see this, and quickly poured a glass of water, "Drink water!" His tone was light, but full of command.
