When Qiao Lian woke up, it was already the morning of the second day.

The caretaker stood with a smile in front of her bed. “You are awake. Since you’ve woken up, do eat some liquid food. You have just completed your operation and you need to take note of your diet for this whole week.”

Qiao Lian looked at her in confusion and the caretaker explained, “Oh, I was hired by your boyfriend to take care of you. Hehe, your boyfriend is so nice to you, he stayed here throughout the night yesterday.”

Her words made Qiao Lian widen her eyes, stunned.

Her boyfriend… was she referring to Shen Liangchuan?

Had he really rushed back after the nurse called him?

She suddenly clenched her fists but after a moment, she let out a sigh.

So, what if he was back?

She then questioned, “Where is he?”

“He went to buy you porridge.”

Qiao Lian nodded and at that moment, the door opened. When she turned her head and saw Song Cheng walking in with a bento box, her eyes shone as she looked behind him.

Song Cheng spoke with a smile. “You’re awake? Have some porridge then. The doctor said that you haven’t eaten anything for two days, how can you torture your body..”

Behind him, it was empty and no one was in sight.

Qiao Lian felt a wave of disappointment and she lowered her head. Honestly, what was she looking forward to?

Even if the nurse had called him, he wouldn’t have appeared in such a public place due to his identity.

She looked at Song Cheng as she fought with herself whether she should ask the question. However, the question failed to leave her lips in the end.

“You had a high fever for two days and even had a small surgery. The doctor says that you must rest well for a few days. Mr. Shen said that you should stay in the hospital for a week and only be discharged after you have fully recovered,” Song Cheng nagged.

Qiao Lian put her spoon down and said, “There’s no need. Removing the appendix is just a small surgery and my fever has gone down. After resting for another day tomorrow, I will be able to report to work the day after.”

The news agency must have gone crazy since she had reported to work for so many days.

Thinking about this, Qiao Lian panicked and as she was about to speak, Song Cheng said, “I have already called the news agency on your behalf and took a leave for a week. So, you should just rest well.”

Since he had done so, Qiao Lian had no choice but to rest.

Furthermore, she would be able to perform better at work after getting sufficient rest, right?

She comforted herself as she finished her porridge and laid down to sleep.

However, Song Cheng walked out of the room and called Shen Liangchuan, “Brother Shen, Ms. Qiao is alright. When do you think we should return to Shanghai to look for Director Li? It’s not the time to be willful now.”

Shen Liangchuan kept silent for a moment and replied, “You stay in Beijing and I’ll go to Shanghai.”

Song Cheng wondered to himself, “… What am I staying in Beijing for? To buy porridge for Ms. Qiao?!”

Qiao Lian felt bored at the hospital and requested Song Cheng to bring her phone to her.

When Song Cheng brought her phone over from the villa, he started picking on her phone, “What a useless phone you have. Why didn’t Brother Shen give you a new one!”

Qiao Lian didn’t answer.

With her phone by her side, her hospitalization days were no longer as dreadful, since she started surfing Weibo and chatting with her colleagues.

The managing editor had been relocated to the headquarters and a new managing editor had landed in the news agency.

“The new managing editor looks ok, and he is also handsome but… I don’t know how to describe it,” Xiao Ye was telling Qiao Lian over the phone. “Anyway, you’ll know when you’re back!”

Qiao Lian laughed. “Is the chief editor back?”

“Yes, she’s back! Ay, let’s not talk about them anymore, it’s so meaningless. Let me tell you the hot news. The servant of Best Actor Shen has been arrested due to theft!”
