Hospital: Return
*************
CHAPTER 602
The door pushed open a little bit before he popped his head inside and when his eyes caught sight of her, a pleasant smile appeared on his face.
No longer was his face cold and his glare annoying. Just seeing her awake was enough to light up his dark day and put a light on that brightens even more.
"Hey, love."
"Honey!"
Immediately she sat up, at the same time her grandfather and his mother turned to look at him. "Cheng!"
"Michael!"
All the smiles on their faces spoke a different thing but in all, they were happy to have him back and he was glad.
"Ye Cheng, welcome back. Li Jing has been behaving nicely since you left."
"Ah, I see. She wasn’t a cry baby?"
He walked in, with Yi Wang Lei following closely behind him with his box of chocolate and bouquet in his hand.
"My love, I am sorry I wasn’t here when you woke up."
Both his mum and her grandfather stood up to create space for him and Yi Wang Lei to seat and talk with her.
"Thanks," he paid his respect to them before pouring his attention to Li Jing.
"Hey, Li Jing."
"Jack, how are you?"
"Good. How are you?"
"Umm, getting better, I suppose."
"I see. Anyways, here. I got you some flowers and chocolate. Get well soon okay?"
"Thanks." He handed over the flowers to her and on receiving them, she sniffed it and smiled before taking the box of chocolates and handing the flowers to Ye Cheng to keep on the table for her.
"Thank you truly."
"Anytime. Please next time do not be stubborn and listen to Ye Cheng."
"Where would that have left me? Both of us would have been hospitalized by now."
"Wang Lei, I did not bring you back with me to come scold my love."
"Oh look at this big man. Now you are on her side. Who was angry before?"
"I was angry that I let her go alone and did not think all of this was a trap. That is all. I am not mad at her."
"Really?" He folded his hands as he watched Ye Cheng lean down to place a kiss on Li Jing’s lips. "Aren’t you two just the couple of the year, huh?"
"We are and so what?"
"Hmm, I guess you guys made my husband jealous when he went out. Cause he is acting like one."
"Of course they did. Everyone kept on ranting about their sister-in-law and wanting to get back at those people for you."
"Awwwnn, I never knew I was this loved." She beamed a charming smile at Yi Wang Lei, ignoring Ye Cheng who was more worried about her.
"Thanks, Li Jing. It was nothing. We were just doing our job," Yi Wang Lei replied, beaming a smile at her too.
All the while, Ye Cheng watched as they acted coy with each other, smiling their heart out as they spoke.
"Okay, okay, okay stop." He stood up blocking Yi Wang Lei’s view so Li Jing could not look at him. "No more. She is married."
"Honey, hehe, he is only playing," Li Jing chuckled.
"Yes, I can see that and you are only blushing. Only I have the right to make you blush and no one else. Hmph!"
Right now he was acting like a jealous child but she could not help laughing about it alongside Yi Wang Lei.
But unlike hers, Yi Wang Lei stopped quickly when Ye Cheng shot him a cold glare.
Gulp! "Sorry. She is right you know, I am playing."
"That is it, go and sit with mum."
"Fine. I would go but hey, I still have gist for you."
"We
Rolling his eyes at his friend, he resigned himself to his fate and walked away. "Hmm, I would get my own girlfriend."
"Please do. I thought you already have one."
"Yes."
"Hahaha…" The sweetness in her voice as she laughed caused him to avert his gaze and fix all his attention on her.
"I missed hearing the sound of your laughter," he confessed, sitting down on the chair close to her bed.
"I missed you too, honey."
"I love you and always listen to me. I was scared out of my wits."
"I am sorry. I just wanted to handle things on my own for once."
"You do not need to worry. You have me by your side. We are a couple now. Your problem is my problem and your pain, my pain. Any issues we have, we handle it as a couple from now on."
"Okay, I promise."
"Thanks, dear. I love you so much."
"Love you most."
He shifted out from his seat and brought his face close to hers as their lips met, sending sparks of electricity in their body.
To some extent he had almost forgotten where they were and deepened the kiss, even more, allowing his fingers move upwards to caress her hair and scalp.
"Umm…Honey." Li Jing managed to voice out between their kiss.
"Yes, love."
"We are in the hospital."
"Hhmm…"
"And we have company."
DING!
He paused a bit, not moving his lips nor his hands again. "Yeah." Then he pulled back and smiled at her. "I almost forgot about that."
"Hehhee, you did forget, naughty CEO."
CLAP CLAP!
Both of them turned their heads in the direction to which the sound came from and saw Yi Wang Lei and Li An smiling brightly at them with their hands raised up a bit.
"Keep it up, we were having a nice show."
"Shut up, Jack, leave the love birds alone."
"Auntie, I thought you were on my side."
"I am but I am also on Ye Cheng’s side hahaha, do not mind me. In fact, I think it is time to give them some privacy."
"So soon? I haven’t been with my sister-in-law. Cheng is just being too possessive."
"She is his wife. He has all right to be."
"Auntie, it is because I do not have a wife, right?"
"Then get yourself one. I know your mother must have been disturbing you to settle down. These kids of nowadays."
"I have someone. I just need to…"
Knock!
The door opened with Long Lei stepping inside with some hospital files in hand.
"Hello?"
"Long Lei."
"I see the noisy bunch had arrived." He entered the room, closing the door behind him. "Grandpa, auntie."
They both waved at him, escorting him with their eyes as he walked over to Li Jing and Ye Cheng.
"Long Lei. First I get chased by Ye Cheng and now you ignore me. What has my life become?"
"Stop whining." Li An smacked him on the thigh before patting him there.
"Auntie."
"Shhh…"
"Hello, Li Jing. How do you feel? Any pains or discomfort I need to know about?"
"No. Just the ankle and hand. But I am fine. It is still is strange a bit though. I want to move my body and I would realize I cannot do so much to avoid causing more harm," she explained.
"I understand but in time it would all be over. Hope these two are not disturbing you now that they are back?"
"Not at all. I was enjoying their banter, you know."
"Hey, love, who is bantering?"
"I never said anything. You must have misheard." She poked his cheeks to get him to smile a bit more.
"Hmm, bribery."
"Alright, I would just do some checks on her and then she can relax."
"When can she go home?" Ye Cheng asked out of the blue.
"Next tomorrow."
"Can’t she be treated from home?"
"I see you love making my life a living hell, huh Cheng?"
Long Lei already knew he would request that and honestly, it was a bother and a hassle.
Most times he did things his own way, ignoring the stress he was giving his friend.
"Do not tell me you are thinking of this as a hassle."
"Of course, I dare not."
"Exactly, because you cannot want to fight for your sister-in-law and automatically you can’t go visit her at home?"
"I can, Cheng. Stop making a molehill out of it."
"Am I?"
"Yes." Fong Wei Ling was tempted to smack his friend on the head. He could manipulate things in his favour at times.
"You really are number one for a reason, aren’t you?"
"It is why you love me."
"Tah, do I look like a homo to you?"
"Of course. If not my sister-in-law would come to kill me. She would be so jealous thinking I am the one you spend your time with instead of treating your patients."
The smug look on his face was annoying but all Long Lei could do was massage the bridge between his eyebrows at Ye Cheng’s joke.
"I think I really need her to get at you for always beating me verbally."
"I have my wifey here to defend her hubby."
"If I like her, I might just allow her, hahaha."
