A pampered young lady from a wealthy family is reborn, choosing a rich wife over a rich man.

"President Xie?" Meng Zhixue reminded him again, "It's time."

"Hmm," Xie Lingfeng replied casually.

His hand was still lightly resting on Meng Zhixue's waist, showing no intention of letting go, as if he was still immersed in the warmth of the passionate kiss.

His body temperature was much higher than hers, and the warmth of his palms pressed against her skin through the thin hospital gown.

What's worse, we kissed for a full five minutes, and he became aroused.

He may be shameless, but she still is.

Having had her fill of being in control, Meng Zhixue wanted to quit and retreat back to being a nobody.

She twisted her body, trying to get off Xie Lingfeng and go to bed to rest.

With cell phones, what's the point of having men? Playing on a cell phone is much more interesting than playing with men; the handsome guys on your phone can dance.

But the next moment, Xie Lingfeng used a little force to prevent her from moving: "I'll make a phone call first and tell everyone about investigating Zhao Mingyuan."

Meng Zhixue: "..."

Okay then, this is the important matter.

She obediently stopped moving.

Xie Lingfeng glanced at her without changing his expression, and seeing that she really had no intention of getting off him, a triumphant smile appeared in his narrow phoenix eyes.

However, even the slowest phone call will eventually be completed.

Xie Lingfeng couldn't bear to let go of the warm, soft woman in his arms. While casually making a phone call, he was thinking of other reasons to hold her a little longer.

Just then, Meng Zhixue's stomach suddenly rumbled, which was particularly clear in the quiet ward.

Meng Zhixue: "..."

Completely bewildered, she stared in astonishment at her stomach, a crack appearing in her previously calm and bored expression.

Even those who didn't call Xie Lingfeng must have heard her stomach growling, right?

Xie Lingfeng paused for a moment, then chuckled softly.

This time, he didn't use any harsh words. Instead, he naturally raised his hand and gently rubbed her stomach through her clothes, as if he loved it dearly or was comforting a small animal.

"Hungry?" His voice was tinged with amusement. "You're still sick, are you going to keep eating at the hospital cafeteria? Your favorite seafood congee is considered 'heaty' in traditional Chinese medicine, so how about I order you some chicken congee and a few light dishes?"

Meng Zhixue nodded: "Okay."

At top-tier private medical centers like Tianzehui, the chefs in the cafeteria are just as skilled as those in five-star hotels, and the ingredients and cooking methods are more suitable for patients.

Although she likes to eat spicy and savory food, she should be more careful now that she's sick.

The private hospital's cafeteria is open 24 hours a day. In addition to dining in the main hall, there are also more upscale private dining options, all prepared by chefs of state banquet caliber.

What Xie Lingfeng arranged for Meng Zhixue was naturally a private, exclusive arrangement.

Once the staff delivered the food, he immediately became very enthusiastic.

He shooed away the staff who wanted to help, carried the food box to the table, and personally served Meng Zhixue.

He helped her sit down in the high chair, set out the tableware, tested the temperature of the porridge, and even fantasized about feeding her. His attentiveness and consideration were almost excessive.

Suddenly, the doorbell rang.

Meng Zhixue subconsciously turned her head to look at the door, but Xie Lingfeng pressed her shoulder down: "Be good, don't move, I'll go see who it is first."

As he spoke, he deliberately slowed his pace and quietly walked to the access control system.

Just as he expected, the person appearing on the screen was indeed Zhou Yu.

The young, handsome man was dressed in a casual dark suit. His captivating eyes seemed to gaze affectionately at the dog. Tall and elegant, he carried a paper bag with a brand logo on it, clearly there to curry favor and offer a cell phone.

Xie Lingfeng clicked his tongue, looking pleased.

If he weren't currently trying out a new style and couldn't act too arrogantly, he would definitely have laughed three times!

Back in the restaurant, he whispered to Meng Zhixue, "You're not allowed to make a sound, and you're not allowed to open the door, or I'll kiss you! I'll kiss you until your lips and tongue hurt! Or else..."

He looked at her, his gaze involuntarily sliding down to below her collarbone, then suddenly cleared his throat and looked away, pretending he hadn't done anything.

"...?!" Meng Zhixue glared at him, speechless.

She asked, "Is it Zhou Yu?"

Xie Lingfeng gave a displeased snort, then couldn't help but laugh, her long, narrow phoenix eyes filled with smugness: "Serves him right for locking me out last night!"

As he spoke, he took an access card from his jacket pocket, held it between his fingers, and waved it at her: "I was prepared. I got the hospital's spare access card, cutting off his escape route!"

The man, who always had a sour face and a gloomy, arrogant expression, had a unique charm when he smiled. Meng Zhixue glanced at him, had no reason to be angry, and couldn't help but smile as well.

She had no intention of getting involved in the childish game between the two men.

One man is enough; two men arguing are giving her a headache. How can she sleep at night?

Let's keep the number of people as small as possible.

but……

Suddenly, Meng Zhixue had a flash of inspiration. Her almond-shaped eyes looked at Xie Lingfeng curiously, and she asked pointedly, "President Xie... you were acting strangely this afternoon. Were you imitating Young Master Zhou?"

Xie Lingfeng's expression froze, but she stubbornly retorted, "What do you mean?"

Meng Zhixue didn't need to ask any further. Seeing his uncomfortable expression and glancing at his reddened ears, she was already certain of his thoughts.

It's simply that she feels Zhou Yu is treated better, that she's only being treated differently because of Zhou Yu's gentleness and thoughtfulness, and she wants to try to win him over...

But despite his gloomy and arrogant nature, and the predatory instinct etched into his bones, he could put on a gentle and refined demeanor, like a leopard trying to learn elegance but always revealing only part of its tail.

Xie Lingfeng said with a sour face, "You're not allowed to curse me in your heart!"

As he spoke, he suddenly leaned down and bit Meng Zhixue's earlobe, gently nibbling it with his teeth, just like a wolfhound.

The shock was so sudden that Meng Zhixue almost dropped the spoon back into the bowl. She glared at the culprit with annoyance, only to be kissed on the cheek by him.

Xie Lingfeng raised an eyebrow and smiled, pleased: "I'll go check the access control again."

The doorbell stopped ringing, and Zhou Yu was no longer at the door.

It was unclear whether he had left or gone to get a spare access card from hospital staff. Xie Lingfeng leaned towards the latter, but he was always prepared and not one to back down!

After dinner, Xie Lingfeng naturally offered to keep watch.

"You can stay, but sleeping in my room is out of the question." Meng Zhixue was already prepared. She pointed to the beige sofa in the living room and said, "You can either sleep in the caregiver's rest room or on the sofa. Sleeping in my bedroom is out of the question."

"I'll sleep on the sofa." Xie Lingfeng didn't make any other choice.

Just kidding, he doesn't want to sleep alone in the caregiver's room feeling so stifled. He's aiming for a higher position, and being a male caregiver doesn't fit his role.

Just then, his cell phone rang.

Xie Lingfeng took out his phone, raised an eyebrow, and then looked at Meng Zhixue.

No longer trying to appear gentle and considerate, his innate wildness returned, his low, husky voice carrying an unmistakable aggression: "Baby, I've been so good, aren't you going to reward me?"

Meng Zhixue's heart skipped a beat when he looked at her. She had only managed to utter the word "you" when her lips were warmed by his kiss.

The kiss came suddenly, yet it was irresistible.

She had kissed him once that afternoon, and then again... Meng Zhixue was almost used to it, like a salted fish that didn't want to move.

But she didn't notice Xie Lingfeng's little scheme.

Xie Lingfeng grabbed Meng Zhixue's slender waist with both hands and lifted her up, making sure she sat steadily on the marble dining table. He answered the phone with one hand and continued kissing her while holding the back of her head.

He kissed her very hard and passionately.

The sounds produced by the intertwining of lips and tongue are not loud.

But because the phone is close enough, even the slightest movement will be clearly captured and transmitted verbatim to the person on the other end of the call.

Xie Lingfeng lifted his eyelids, looked at his good brother's name on the phone screen, and then at the ever-increasing call time. A wicked pleasure flashed across his narrow phoenix eyes.

Imagining his good brother's ashen face, he not only didn't restrain himself, but instead intensified his kissing.

He gently bit Meng Zhixue's delicate chin, and asked with a husky voice, "Baby, do you like it when I kiss you like this?"
