Mu Xing looked at the hotel entrance, her steps quickening.
In her haste to climb the steps, she almost tripped.
A hand suddenly caught her from behind, followed by a voice saying, "I say, Mu Xing, do you really want to fall again that badly? Do you feel especially comfortable breaking a leg, since you’re being waited on hand and foot, huh?"
Mu Xing twisted her foot and was montarily at a loss for words.
Bai Lingyun continued, "It’s not a big deal if you’re really that lazy, but you don’t need to break a leg. Just heal your leg properly, and we can talk about everything else. Don’t think certain things are excused just because you’re a patient, understand?"
"..." Her face flushed red to the ears, too weak to argue.
"Miss, do you need assistance?" The hotel’s doorman approached eagerly.
Bai Lingyun lifted his head, supporting Mu Xing, "What she needs is my help, thank you."
Doorman: "...Alright, sir, sorry for the interruption."
He helped Mu Xing up the steps and called for his assistant.
Soon, the assistant appeared in the hotel lobby and handed him a key card, looking at him and Mu Xing with an inexplicable awkwardness.
Mu Xing freed herself and stood to the side.
"It’s like this," the assistant said nervously, "There’s only one key card. Mr. Bai, this hotel only has one room left, but you specifically requested this one. So I booked one room first; if it doesn’t work out, we can switch hotels."
"It’s fine," Bai Lingyun nonchalantly took the key card, "We’ll stay here."
"Uh, it’s a suite with only one large bed."
"Yes, got it."
"Hey..." Mu Xing turned her head in astonishnt, who said it was fine?
Although in Miami, they stayed together, the rooms were different.
At Song Clinic, they had also slept on the sa bed, but that was when she had amnesia.
Since she regained her mory, they had never slept in the sa room again, let alone on the sa bed.
Mu Xing’s heart received a strong shock, and before she could react, Bai Lingyun nonchalantly led her towards the elevator.

Lu Wanwan held a yellowing photograph in her hand, showing Ye Jing in her youth, and beside her was the imposing figure of Xie Liancheng.
"She was only twenty at the ti." Xie Liancheng chuckled, "This is also my only photograph."
She looked at it and smiled, finding the photo truly precious.
"I’ve never seen a photo of her from this ti." Lu Wanwan sighed softly, "She doesn’t like taking photos. At ho, there are only childhood photos with her grandparents, none from when she grew up. There aren’t even many of her and Lu Jingtian’s wedding pictures, only a few. After taking over Jin’an, she had to face the dia reluctantly."
Xie Liancheng shook his head, "She really doesn’t like taking photos, and the few that exist were because I asked her. Unfortunately, when I left, I only took this one. The others, well... she probably threw them away."
Lu Wanwan wanted to say sothing comforting, but she couldn’t find the right words.
Indeed, there weren’t any photos of her mother during those tis at ho.
Perhaps, they really had been thrown away.
"Knock, knock, knock!"
The door was tapped on.
Lu Wanwan smiled, "It must be Momo. Co in!"
Little Momo entered with a phone in hand, saying with exasperation, "Mommy, it’s Youyou. She’s about to board the plane and insisted on seeing you first."
A cute little face imdiately appeared on the screen, eyes gleaming as if they could speak, pouting and giving the screen a kiss, "Mommy!"
