Chapter 221 A Woman Competes for Favor
In the evening, the corridors of the First People's Hospital of Zhonghai City were bustling with people, and the smell of disinfectant filled the air.
Holding the discharge papers she had just completed, Shen Yourong walked briskly back to her ward. Her gentle and beautiful face was filled with a sense of relief and heartfelt joy.
Her steps were as light as a butterfly's, a stark contrast to the hurried, worried family members of the patients around her.
Her mother miraculously recovered from her illness, and the heaviest weight on her heart was finally lifted.
Her gaze kept drifting involuntarily to the man who was leaning against the window at the end of the corridor, looking down at his phone.
The afterglow of the setting sun shone through the glass window, casting a golden outline on his figure. His tall, handsome profile made her heart flutter.
This is the man.
He was like a ray of light, forcefully breaking into her dark and oppressive life, saving not only her family but also her nearly withered soul.
Money, gratitude, love...
She could no longer distinguish which kind of feeling she had for him, she only knew that everything she had should belong to him.
She had no way to repay him.
The only way is to dedicate yourself, your heart, completely and without reservation, to him.
Once the thought arose, it spread like wildfire, quickly entangling her entire heart.
"Is everything done?" Ning Xiuyang asked, turning off his phone screen as Shen Yourong approached.
"Okay, it's all done. We can go home now." Shen Youguan nodded, a hint of barely perceptible joy in his voice.
"Okay, I'll take you back. I have some things to take care of at my apartment." Ning Xiuyang said, preparing to leave.
Speaking of which, I haven't been back to the apartment for a few days. Those four girls need my comfort too!
Ning Xiuyang felt that he didn't have enough energy. It turned out that having too many women was a problem, even for an old lecher.
Is he leaving?
Shen Yourong felt a sudden surge of anxiety.
No!
We can't just let him go like this!
Almost instinctively, without even considering whether it was appropriate, she quickly chased after him.
At the corner of the corridor, in a relatively quiet spot, she reached out and gently tugged at his sleeve with trembling fingertips.
Ning Xiuyang stopped and turned to look at her in confusion.
"What's wrong?"
Under the man's questioning gaze, Shen Yourong felt her heart pounding wildly, as if it were about to jump out of her throat.
She lowered her head slightly, not daring to meet his gaze. Two charming blushes quickly rose on her beautiful cheeks, spreading all the way to her delicate ears.
Her hands nervously twisted the hem of her clothes, as if she had been contemplating for a long time, seemingly making the boldest and most important decision of her life.
The hustle and bustle of the corridor seemed to fade away from her at that moment.
In her world, all that remained was her own pounding heart and the reassuring yet captivating aura emanating from the man before her.
Finally, as if she had used up all her strength, she slowly raised her head.
Those eyes, already shimmering with moisture, were now veiled in a hazy mist, filled with intoxicating charm and a hint of almost humble pleading.
She gently bit her full lower lip with her pearly teeth, and in a voice as soft as a mosquito's buzz, yet incredibly clear, she softly asked, "Sir..."
"Are you busy today?"
"If you're not too busy, could you... come home with me tonight?"
These words seemed to have been squeezed out from the depths of her soul.
The moment she finished speaking, she felt all the strength drain from her body, and she could only barely stand by holding onto his sleeve.
She dared not look at his reaction; her heart was pounding with a mixture of anticipation and fear.
She was afraid that her initiative and abruptness would displease him.
But she was even more afraid that if she missed it tonight, she didn't know when she would have another chance.
After all, Mr. has so many sisters around him now. Just those he knows are beautiful anchors like Cheng Qingxia and Yang Yuanyuan, and there are also girls from universities... he probably can't even count them all.
In fact, she used to despise the behavior of "competing for favor".
But after she realized that the man she loved was Ning Xiuyang, she had no choice but to take the initiative to win his favor.
After all, she couldn't live without him anymore!
Ning Xiuyang looked at the stunningly beautiful woman before him, at her trembling eyelashes that were slightly trembling with nervousness and shyness, and at her eyes that were filled with pleading and devotion. A slight stirring ran through his heart.
He did not answer immediately.
Instead, he reached out and gently lifted her chin, forcing her to look him in the eye.
"Do you know what it means that you're asking me to come home with you? Auntie might not sleep well tonight..." His voice was deep and magnetic, with a hint of playfulness that was both teasing and ambiguous.
Shen Yourong's body stiffened, and then, as if she had made up her mind, she looked into his eyes and nodded solemnly and slowly.
At that moment, the shyness and nervousness in her eyes gradually faded, replaced by a resolute determination and allure that showed she was ready to risk everything.
Ning Xiuyang's lips curled up slightly.
He didn't say anything more, but simply held her small, cold hand that was clutching his sleeve tightly in his palm.
That evening, in the Shen family's small but spotless house, as night deepened, a captivating atmosphere slowly permeated the air.
Ning Xiuyang drove his Luman G-Class, while Shen Yourong drove her Yangwang U8 back to their home in the old neighborhood.
The house wasn't big, with two bedrooms and a living room, but Shen Yourong kept it spotless, and a faint scent of soap pods wafted in the air, revealing the hardworking and virtuous nature of the lady of the house.
"Xiao Yang, come sit down, come sit down! My home is small, I'm sorry to have trouble you." Zhou Xiulan was in high spirits after her recovery and warmly greeted Ning Xiuyang.
"Auntie, you're too kind. This place is very cozy." Ning Xiuyang smiled as he placed some expensive tonics he had bought on the table.
Zhou Xiulan, having been through similar experiences, understood her daughter's thoughts perfectly well.
She made an excuse that she was recovering from a serious illness and needed rest, and said to the two of them with a smile, "This old body of mine needs to go to bed early. You young people chat, Yourong, and take good care of Xiaoyang, understand?"
The old man's meaningful look made Shen Yourong blush again, and she could only lower her head and softly say "Mmm".
Seeing his mother tactfully return to her room and thoughtfully close the door, Ning Xiuyang and Shen Yourong were left alone in the living room.
The atmosphere suddenly became subtle.
