C23 It Takes a Lot of Effort to Get up There

Under Doctor Feng's guidance, Cheng Ling easily found the dean. The dean was extremely courteous to her and quickly discussed the time for the operation. All of this did not take more than half an hour.

When she went to the sickroom, she found that her mother had moved to the most luxurious VIP ward. All of this had been arranged beforehand without any flaws.

Cheng Ling was wiping her sleeping mother's body. Her mind was replaying the recent events like she was watching a movie. However, when her mind recalled that arrogant and handsome face, she hesitated for a moment.

While she was deep in thought, the phone rang. She saw the name on the screen and took it.

"Yanyan-jie?"

Ever since she was expelled by the clouds in the sky, she no longer had any contact with Li Yan.

"Little Ling Zi, are you alright? How have you been?"

"I'm fine, what's the matter, Yanyan-jie?"

With her understanding of Li Yan's personality, she would rarely take the initiative to call her. She was not good at expressing her feelings.

The boss said that you were threatened by Xiao Gui when he fired you back then. Please don't blame him. Also, he just gave you a severance payment from his card.

"It's Xiao Gui? "Not for …"

Cheng Ling didn't mention the name of Xiao Gui when he was there, and Li Yan also felt that he was disgusted. She consoled him, "You don't have to worry, this Xiao Gui seems to have vanished from the face of the earth. His family didn't even find him.

Xiao Gui, evaporated from the earth? A cold and decisive voice resounded in Cheng Ling's ears, "Kill."

He did it?

To Cheng Ling, the death of someone like Xiao Gui was not a pity, but if Xi Che attacked Xiao Gui, then he would be making an enemy out of the Xiao family. She would implicate him.

It was just cooperation. Was there a need for him to do this?

"Little Spirit? What's the matter with you? Why is there no sound? "

Just when she thought that something had happened to Cheng Ling, she heard Cheng Ling's voice again, "Sister Yan, if someone treats you well and you don't want to owe him, what should she do?"

"Then just treat him twice as well. We'll settle things once we return him."

If she didn't want to owe him, it meant that she didn't want to have anything to do with him.

After her conversation with Li Yan, Cheng Ling seemed to be a little relaxed, but at the same time, it seemed to be even heavier.

She stayed in the hospital for the whole day. Since her mother would be having surgery in a few days, Cheng Ling went to the supermarket to buy some medicinal food to supplement her mother after her surgery.

When she got to the fresh meat area, she suddenly thought of what Yanyan had said. It was only 5 o'clock, so the Xi Family probably hadn't started cooking yet. So she chose beef, chicken, and fish, all the things she was good at.

Back at the Xi Family residence, Cheng Ling started to get busy after borrowing the kitchen from the housekeeper.

Her culinary skills were very good. When Tang Yuze was still in business, he often ate fast food and drank wine for the guests. Thus, Cheng Ling had learned to cook for him very early on and would cook nutritious meals for him every day.

Cheng Ling prepared all the dishes on the table and covered them with a lid to keep them warm. She let out a soft cry and used a tissue to wipe the sweat from her hair.

"Thank you, ma'am."

Unknowingly, the old housekeeper had walked over. Facing his praise, Cheng Ling felt a little weak. "Old housekeeper, you must be joking. I haven't cooked for a long time. The taste is definitely not as good as yours. He might not be used to it."

Cheng Ling was very confident in her culinary skills. However, after tasting the old housekeeper's culinary skills, she became impotent. The chefs of the Xi Family each had ten international culinary awards. She was like a small child meeting a great master.

However, if she didn't eat the noodles, she would eat it all herself to avoid wasting it.

"Madam, what is this?"

The old butler pointed at the black water in the casserole and sniffed it. It seemed a little strange.

"This soup is made with Poria Cocos and Energetic Bull, it's good for the stomach, he often attends social gatherings, and drinking more is good for the body."

The old butler looked at Cheng Ling for a moment. His calm, emotionless eyes slightly moved. A complicated emotion flashed across his eyes. It seemed as if he was feeling glad but also regretful. "Madam, please treat the young master well. The young master is not easy at all."

"Huh?"

"I can't say much else. Madam will know that the young master treats his wife very differently. You are the only person he has brought back."

The old housekeeper's words seemed to have no end, so Cheng Ling did not press him. After all, he had already said it was not to be said, so it was useless to ask further.

"Don't worry, I'll do my best to treat him well."

He would pay off all his debts to him.

The housekeeper nodded with a pleased smile. This was the first time Cheng Ling had felt his goodwill ever since she had entered the Xi Family.

The old butler turned his head and saw Xi Shiche walking in. He was wearing a black windbreaker with cold facial features. However, when he looked at Cheng Ling, his eyes were filled with gentleness.

"Young Master, you're back."

The old butler quickly went over to welcome him, took the windbreaker off Xi Shiche, and tactfully retreated.

Cheng Ling slowly turned around and looked at the approaching Xi Shiche. Her cheeks suddenly felt hot as she lowered her eyes shyly. She was feeling conflicted. "When did he come back?" Could he have heard everything that had just been said? This is a bit embarrassing.

His hot face was lifted, and his cold fingertips touched his burning skin. It was cool and itchy.

"You've been to the hospital?"

She touched the gauze with her fingertips gently. Cheng Ling felt that tonight's meal was very gentle.

"En, the doctor said that he will recover in two days. Don't worry, there won't be a mark on him."

No one wanted to make a blemish with their expensive purchases. Cheng Ling knew that, and she believed that Xi Shiche thought the same.

"Remember, you are mine now. You cannot injure yourself without my permission."

His words were arrogant and domineering, but Cheng Ling could not refuse. She was his possession now.

His nose was pointed straight at her, and his black eyes were staring at her with a bewitching look, as if he wanted to pull her into that deep black hole. "Rewards to the Madam for this meal today. Tonight, the Madam is on top."

What?

Cheng Ling blushed as she pushed him away. How could he say such shameless words in the dining room?

She thought this was already considered shameless. However, while eating, someone had given her a lot of food. The reason being, it took a lot of effort to eat it.
