Charles Yin didn't even spare Cecilia Gu a glance and started eating on his own.
Is he really... coming all the way to the hospital just to eat dinner in front of me?
I've never seen anyone like this!
Cecilia Gu reached out with her chopsticks, trying to pick up the meatball, but before she could grab it, Charles Yin pressed down on her chopsticks.
"Your liver fire is too strong. No meat for you!" Charles Yin said coldly.
She actually dared to yell at him? She's gotten a lot bolder.
Cecilia Gu tugged at her chopsticks, but couldn't move them no matter what. She let go, suddenly stood up, and said, "I'm full, you take your time! I'm going downstairs for a walk! The doctor said I need to move around and get more sun for the baby's health!"
"There's no sun out now." Charles Yin replied coolly.
"Moonlight works too!" Seeing Charles Yin like this, Cecilia Gu was so frustrated she could explode.
She was clearly thinking of him, but instead of a word of praise, all she got was a scolding.
This feeling is just the worst!
Charles Yin suddenly put down his chopsticks and looked up at Cecilia Gu. "You really want to go for a walk?"
"Yes!" Cecilia Gu answered firmly. Anywhere is fine, as long as she doesn't have to see Charles Yin today!
"Alright." Charles Yin stood up, took the tea Alex handed him to rinse his mouth, and said to Cecilia Gu, "I'll go with you!"
You're coming... with me...?
Cecilia Gu's eyes widened instantly.
Is Charles Yin running a fever today or something?
Does she really need him to go with her?
"If it's doctor's orders, then let's do it properly." Without giving her a chance to refuse, Charles Yin grabbed Cecilia Gu's arm and led her out into the corridor.
"Wait, wait, wait..." Cecilia Gu quickly pulled her arm free.
Now she really felt that Charles Yin was acting strange today.
He was perfectly normal this morning. Why did he suddenly change at noon?
"What is it?" Charles Yin's eyebrows furrowed slightly, his long, narrow eyes hiding a glimmer beneath. "Didn't you say you wanted to go for a walk?"
I just want to walk quietly by myself!
Cecilia Gu really didn't have the courage to say that out loud.
Who knows, maybe Charles Yin's brain would short-circuit again?
"It's nothing! You've had a long day, you should just enjoy your dinner. I'll just take a walk by myself." Cecilia Gu replied softly.
Sometimes you just have to bow your head under someone else's roof.
She just wanted to go home early to see her mom, so even if she had to put up with it, she would.
"Really?" Charles Yin's lips curled unconsciously, his gaze drifting over Cecilia Gu's face and finally settling on her eyes.
A few women passing by couldn't take their eyes off Charles Yin, as if glued in place.
But Charles Yin only had eyes for Cecilia Gu.
Those women's gazes soon shifted to Cecilia Gu!
What? That perfect man wants to go for a walk with her, and she actually turned him down?
Is she out of her mind?
Cecilia Gu soon felt the pressure of those other women's stares.
What's wrong with these women?
She didn't even know them, so why were they looking at her with such resentment?
Soon, Cecilia Gu couldn't take it anymore. She reached out, tugged at Charles Yin, and said quickly, "Let's go, let's go..."
Charles Yin's eyes flickered playfully as he looked at Cecilia Gu's back, a faint smile on his lips.
His smile instantly stunned the crowd of women watching.
"So... so charming..."
"Such a manly vibe!"
"So handsome!"
"Handsome!"
A few women couldn't help but stare blankly at Charles Yin's back, completely frozen.
Alex coughed lightly and quickly followed after Charles Yin.
Cecilia Gu walked in front, Charles Yin followed behind at a steady pace.
Alex followed behind with almost no presence at all.
They walked out of the inpatient ward and onto the roadside before Cecilia Gu finally stopped.
Charles Yin slowly walked up to Cecilia Gu and casually asked, "Why did you stop?"
Cecilia Gu suddenly looked up and stared straight into Charles Yin's eyes. "What do you really want?"
"What do you mean?" Charles Yin still looked completely relaxed.
"I... What do you want from me, exactly?" Cecilia Gu felt like she was about to explode from frustration.
Charles Yin didn't answer her question. Instead, he explained what he'd been doing that afternoon.
"After you left, the chairman called me back to officially sign the contract between Yin Enterprises and the Korean company. It's a ten-year contract. Thanks to it, Yin Enterprises will earn millions of dollars in profit every year, and our Korean branch will expand and gain recognition from the Korean president, who awarded our subsidiary an honorary ambassador title." Charles Yin said slowly.
Cecilia Gu was stunned.
That's great news!
Wait, what does that have to do with me?
Didn't he make it pretty clear at noon?
That's his business. Who am I to interfere? What right do I have to ask about it?
"Madam said she's very grateful for your explanation today," Charles Yin continued slowly. "She might not have time to visit those beautiful places you mentioned this time, but next time she comes to China, she'll definitely ask you to be her guide."
Cecilia Gu hesitated for a moment and replied gloomily, "Next time? There probably won't be a next time. Once the baby is born, our contract will be over..."
Charles Yin seemed to deliberately ignore her last sentence and continued, "Grandma was very pleased when she heard the report, so she decided to let you go home in three days!"
Cecilia Gu still looked a little awkward, but when she heard Charles Yin say this, her eyes lit up and she looked at him with sparkling anticipation.
Charles Yin happened to look down at Cecilia Gu, and saw the starlike hope in her eyes.

"Really? I can really go home?" Cecilia Gu was so excited that she grabbed Charles Yin's hand, looking at him full of hope.
Charles Yin's gaze immediately fell on her small hand, which had taken the initiative to hold his fingers.
Strangely enough, he didn't mind this kind of physical contact at all.
In fact, he kind of liked it...
He kind of liked her taking the initiative to touch him...
"Mmm..." Charles Yin dragged out the last syllable, and seeing Cecilia Gu about to jump for joy, he couldn't help but add, "But you can only go home after finishing three days of injections at the hospital!"
The smile on Cecilia Gu's face froze.
Three days...
That's fine!
Three days it is!
Three days isn't long. As long as I can get through them, I'll be able to go home!
Oh, right. I need to count how much money I have left!
This time when I go back, I have to secretly leave some money for Mom. That way, when Grandma makes things hard for her, she won't suffer so much!
Seeing Cecilia Gu go from angry to overjoyed, Charles Yin's mood improved as well.
After being happy for a while, Cecilia Gu realized she was still holding Charles Yin's hand.
She hurriedly let go, awkwardly scratched her head, and said, "Well... thank you! No matter what, I really have to thank you! Anyway... it's getting late, you should head back early! I should get some rest too..."
"Mm." Charles Yin responded, but didn't move an inch.
Just as Cecilia Gu was about to remind Charles Yin to go back to the villa and rest, Alex finally made his presence known: "President, Young Madam, the room has been redecorated. You can rest now."
The room's been redecorated?
What does that mean?
"Still want to keep walking?" Charles Yin looked down at Cecilia Gu.
Walking... what for?
Her anger was gone, so no more walking!
Cecilia Gu turned around, happily heading back to the inpatient ward. Charles Yin followed behind, not too fast and not too slow, back to the hospital room.
As soon as she walked in, Cecilia Gu almost thought she had entered the wrong room!
She stepped out, looked up, double-checked the room number. No mistake, this was her hospital room!
Why had the whole room's layout and style changed just while she was out for a walk?
Why had her single hospital bed been replaced with a big double bed?
What does this mean?
Cecilia Gu turned to look at Charles Yin.
Charles Yin just nodded at Alex, and Alex immediately led everyone else out, leaving the room spotless.
Hey, hey... Don't go! At least explain before you leave!
Charles Yin unbuttoned his shirt, took out his pajamas from the wardrobe, and got ready to take a shower.
"Wait..." Cecilia Gu rushed in front of Charles Yin, arms spread, staring at him in shock. "Don't tell me you're sleeping here tonight too?"
"Why not?" Charles Yin's lips curled up.
"But... this is a hospital! This is a hospital room!" Cecilia Gu kept reminding Charles Yin.
She's staying here because she needs injections to protect the pregnancy and to get checkups!
Why is Charles Yin staying here?
His villa isn't far from here! He could just drive home to rest!
"The chairman and madam are still in S City." Charles Yin explained patiently for once.
So? Huh? What does that mean?
Cecilia Gu still looked completely confused.
"If we're acting, we have to go all out."
Charles Yin tossed out that line and went around Cecilia Gu to take a shower in the bathroom.
Go all out acting?
What does that mean?
Ah, I get it! Charles Yin is staying here for the chairman and madam to see!
Makes sense. They just signed the contract this afternoon—if they fought tonight, people would get suspicious!
Still, even for show, isn't this a bit much?
He actually moved into the hospital room!
After a while, Charles Yin came out of the bathroom, drying his hair and answering the phone: "Hello? What? Got it..."
After hanging up, Charles Yin sat down at the desk, opened his laptop, and got back to work.
When he turned around, he saw Cecilia Gu standing nearby.
Charles Yin handed her the towel: "Dry my hair."
Dry... his hair...
Cecilia Gu stared at the towel Charles Yin had tossed to her, eyes wide.
What does he mean by this?
Did he move into the hospital room just so I'd have to serve him?
