Chapter 363: Chapter 364: Such a Worry

Xiao Haiqing turned his head and saw Miao Xuanxuan, caught off guard for a moment before turning to look at Miao Qingqing and shook his head, saying, "I’ve heard that you were twin sisters, but I really didn’t expect you to be so alike."

Footsteps came from the staircase, and everyone stood up at once, casting their gazes towards the stairs; clearly, everyone was now more concerned about Xiao Yingying’s condition.

Lin Su’er came down the stairs; she hadn’t left since yesterday, as it happened to be Song Xiaodong’s turn to administer an injection to Xiao Yingying, and she, as a nurse, was just the right person to assist.

Seeing everyone staring at her, she became somewhat nervous, but as a nurse accustomed to the gazes of patients’ families, she quickly said, "Yingying is fine now, she’s asleep, and Brother Dongzi is too exhausted and is resting."

"Phew..." Xiao Haiqing let out a sigh of relief, then a smile appeared on his face as he said, "I knew Yingying would be fine." In fact, his previous confrontation with Miao Qingqing was, to some extent, an attempt to distract himself from his own anxiety.

Miao Xuanxuan lifted her chin and said, "That’s right, my brother-in-law is incredibly skilled. As long as someone is still breathing, he can save them."

Xiao Haiqing slightly smiled, then looked at Miao Qingqing and said, "President Miao, my daughter has been frail since childhood and also has an innate heart condition. She can only continue to live healthily by Dongzi’s side, so no matter what, I will ensure she and Dongzi are together. I’m afraid there will be some offenses in the future."

Miao Qingqing frowned slightly and said, "President Xiao, you’re not going to use Yingying’s illness to blackmail me, are you?"

"This is not blackmail. I can put it this way, even if you married Dongzi, Yingying would still inevitably be entangled with Dongzi. In the end, you might be the one who gets hurt. It would be better for you to step back sooner rather than later."

Miao Xuanxuan glared furiously and said, "How can you speak so insensitively, old man? If you’re willing to let your daughter be a mistress, then go ahead, but if you think you can make my sister back off, no chance."

Xiao Haiqing chuckled and said, "Now that my daughter is out of danger, I’ll let her rest here, and I won’t disturb you any longer. Miss Song Xiaoru, we should still stay in touch frequently in the future."

Xiao Haiqing left with Chen Jun, and Miao Xuanxuan huffily said, "I’ve never seen someone so shameless, competing over a man for the sake of a daughter, that old man has truly lost it."

Miao Qingqing furrowed her brow and said, "Let it be, he has his difficulties. For someone of President Xiao’s stature to say such things, it must be hard for him."

Miao Xuanxuan’s eyes widened and she exclaimed, "You’re actually defending that crazy old man?"

Miao Qingqing’s face then showed a smile as she said, "I do respect President Xiao as a person and have always admired him in business. He does this out of deep love for his daughter, which I can understand. Besides, I certainly have enough confidence in myself, so there’s no need for you to be angry."

"You sure have a big heart!" Miao Xuanxuan gave Miao Qingqing a disdainful glance.

Miao Qingqing smiled faintly and said, "If I were too petty, wouldn’t that give President Xiao reason to look down on me?" Now she was, after all, a chairman on the same level as Xiao Haiqing, equal in the business world, unlike in the past when she was a generation below.

Miao Xuanxuan grimaced, feeling increasingly overwhelmed; when she was with Song Xiaodong in the past, she never noticed any rivals, with Song Xiaodong’s heart only having room for her.

But now, in such a short time, so many competitors had emerged. Li Sijie was one thing; she knew that even if Li Sijie and Song Xiaodong had a relationship, it was merely physical and Li Sijie wouldn’t cling to Song Xiaodong to marry her.

However, Xiao Yingying was a different story—coming from a powerful family, young and beautiful, and so intimately connected with Song Xiaodong. To say she posed no threat to Miao Qingqing would be nothing but self-deception.

Looking at Lin Su’er, she couldn’t help but feel that her relationship with Song Xiaodong wasn’t simple.

Miao Qingqing, oh Miao Qingqing, you fool, I gave up Dongzi for you. Do you know how hard that was for me? If you lose him, I will never let you off the hook.

Miao Xuanxuan was grinding her teeth in frustration and rage.

Another reason for her frustration was, if Song Xiaodong was together with Miao Qingqing, at least he wouldn’t be far from her. She could occasionally pretend to be Miao Qingqing and get intimate with Song Xiaodong.

But if Song Xiaodong was with another woman, then she would lose that chance altogether. How could she not be angry?

Song Xiaodong was exhausted this time. Xiao Yingying’s heart had once again been severely stimulated due to a shock, and her already fragile heart suffered another major blow. If not for the treatment Song Xiaodong had provided recently, even if she hadn’t been burned to death, she would have died from a heart attack recurrence.

Fortunately, Song Xiaodong was there, not only rescuing her from the fire but also promptly protecting her heart. However, this meant that the effort from before was almost wasted, and they had to start all over again.

After sleeping for more than four hours, Song Xiaodong finally awoke and opened his eyes to see Xiao Yingying’s bright, large eyes.

"Brother Dongzi, you’re awake." Xiao Yingying exclaimed joyfully as soon as she saw Song Xiaodong wake up, her face also beaming with a radiant smile.

Song Xiaodong smiled slightly and said, "Do you feel any discomfort now?"

Xiao Yingying replied, "I feel fine now, just a bit weak and not as strong as I was a few days ago."

Song Xiaodong said seriously, "Hmm, you were scared this time, so your heart was damaged again. It’s almost back to the state before I treated you. So, during this period, you must control your emotions well and not let your heart get damaged again."

"Oh... I see..." Xiao Yingying pouted and said, "No wonder I felt so weak."

"But you don’t need to worry. You will be able to recover some strength before long."

"But..." Xiao Yingying pursed her lips and lay against Song Xiaodong’s chest, looking quite unhappy.

"What’s wrong?" Song Xiaodong patted Xiao Yingying’s shoulder.

"I was recovering so well, and it wouldn’t have been long before I could really be your girlfriend, but now... I don’t know how much longer I’ll have to wait, and I’m just a little unhappy."

Song Xiaodong’s heart fluttered, and he said with a smile, "Good food is worth waiting for, right? If I got to have it so soon, wouldn’t it mean less anticipation?"

"I don’t care about that. I’m just impatient... Maybe I could use..." Xiao Yingying blinked suggestively at Song Xiaodong.

There has to be more today, there must be!!
