Chapter 89: Chapter 89: Fell While Taking a Shower

After the morning live stream ended, Zhao Xiao’an had wanted to ask Wang Chenning to dinner. But to her surprise, before she even had a chance to get lunch, Wang Chenning had vanished.

She called him several times and sent a flurry of messages, but couldn’t reach him, which left her feeling a little peeved.

At six in the evening, Wang Chenning finally replied to her message.

"I was helping someone with a treatment this afternoon. You might know him. His name is Ling Weiguo!"

Seeing this message, Zhao Xiao’an’s annoyance vanished in an instant, and she immediately gave Wang Chenning a call.

"I haven’t had dinner yet. How about you treat me to a big meal tonight?" The moment the call connected, Wang Chenning’s cheerful voice came through the phone. "Whatever questions you have, you can ask me over dinner, okay?"

"Alright," Zhao Xiao’an, who originally had a million questions, had no choice but to agree.

Around seven o’clock, in a private room at a seafood restaurant she had booked, Zhao Xiao’an met up with a freshly showered and changed Wang Chenning.

"What exactly happened? Tell me everything!" The moment she saw Wang Chenning, Zhao Xiao’an asked impatiently, "How do you know Uncle Ling Weiguo? What’s wrong with him? Is he injured?"

Wang Chenning didn’t hide anything and gave her a rough summary of the day’s events. Then he asked Zhao Xiao’an, "From the way he talks, it sounds like you two are quite close. How did you not know he had such a severe injury?"

Zhao Xiao’an sighed and said, "Ling Weiguo was originally one of my grandfather’s most capable subordinates. When I was little, he often came to visit my grandfather and even took me out to play a few times. Later on, I rarely saw him. The few times I did, it was always in a hurry. I heard from my dad that he went to a secret unit to do things that couldn’t be spoken of. Now that you mention it, I realize that’s where he must have gone, and why his work had to be kept secret. I had no idea he was injured. Otherwise, I would’ve asked you a long time ago if there was any chance of healing him!"

"It was a twist of fate, I suppose," Wang Chenning said with a smile, which was quickly followed by a sigh. "His injury is quite severe. It’s functional damage caused by an old wound. Curing it completely will be very difficult, and the treatment will take a long time. Even if we’re lucky enough to achieve a full recovery, his functions still might not return to how they were before."

"I have faith in your medical skills. You can definitely find a way to heal Uncle Ling!" Zhao Xiao’an gave Wang Chenning a playful smile, then lowered her voice and said, "He also let you call him Uncle Ling, which means he really approves of you. You should know, he’s only friendly to a select few people; with most, he’s quite stern. If he’s willing to look out for you, he carries much more weight than Luo Yuqing. Most things Luo Yuqing can get done, he can too. And many things she can’t get done, he can!"

"I get it!" Wang Chenning replied with a laugh. "Looks like I’ve found myself another powerful backer!"

Zhao Xiao’an rolled her eyes at him.

Wang Chenning didn’t press for more details about Zhao Xiao’an, Ling Weiguo, or the Zhao family. Instead, he steered the conversation back to the morning’s live stream and the programs Zhao Xiao’an was planning.

Just as the two of them were happily chatting about these things, Zhao Xiao’an’s phone rang.

Seeing the caller ID, Zhao Xiao’an immediately made a shushing gesture at Wang Chenning before answering the call.

"Grandpa!" The call was from Zhao Xiao’an’s grandfather, Zhao Jiefang.

It was unclear what Zhao Jiefang said on the phone, but Zhao Xiao’an blushed and said coquettishly, "Grandpa, what are you talking about? We’re just ordinary friends!"

As she spoke, she glanced guiltily at Wang Chenning.

Wang Chenning guessed what they were talking about and couldn’t help but chuckle.

After finishing the call, Zhao Xiao’an sat back down next to Wang Chenning. "My grandpa needs me for something, so I have to go see him in a bit."

"Sure. I’ll head back and get some rest too. Today was pretty tiring." Wang Chenning had originally planned to visit Li Garden Hall and ask Zheng Qiuhang about the handover of the Night bar, but he was genuinely exhausted and decided to go home and rest, putting it off until tomorrow.

After dinner, Zhao Xiao’an drove off, and Wang Chenning headed back to the university.

Before he even reached the university gate, a call came from Yang Xiaofu.

"Brother Ning, what are you up to?" The moment the call connected, Yang Xiaofu’s cheerful voice came through. "I haven’t seen you in days. Did you miss me?"

"Miss you, my ass!" Wang Chenning retorted irritably. "If there’s nothing, I’m hanging up!"

"No, don’t!" Yang Xiaofu begged, then reminded him solemnly, "Hubby, you can’t use foul language with a girl!"

"Just say what you want. I’m really tired today and need to go back and rest."

"Brother Ning!" Yang Xiaofu switched back to the other name. "I’m near your university. I was just passing by. Are you on campus?"

"I’m about three hundred meters behind you." Hearing this, Wang Chenning glanced to the side, spotted Yang Xiaofu’s figure, and hit the gas, pulling up beside her.

Yang Xiaofu cheered, ended the call, and hopped right into the car. "Talk about perfect timing! Come on, go shopping with me!"

"No!"

"Please?" Yang Xiaofu immediately started pouting. "I want to buy clothes. Can you really bear to let a girl go out on the street alone? What if I run into a creep and he assaults me? Wouldn’t that be terrible?"

Before Wang Chenning could answer, Yang Xiaofu continued, "Besides, you haven’t given me a treatment in days. I haven’t been sleeping well again, and the spot where I sprained my leg is aching faintly!"

"And you still want to go shopping?"

"A little bit of shopping won’t hurt. The main thing is, spring is coming soon, and I don’t have any spring clothes to wear!" Yang Xiaofu looped her arm through Wang Chenning’s, continuing to wheedle him. "Brother Ning, please come help me pick some things out. I know you have the best taste. Any clothes you pick out will definitely look beautiful on me. I’ll help you pick out some nice outfits too!"

In the end, Wang Chenning was defeated by Yang Xiaofu’s pleading. Unable to resist her charm offensive, he finally agreed to go shopping with her.

The joy women find in shopping for clothes is something no man can ever truly understand.

Yang Xiaofu was no exception. Despite having a mountain of clothes in her closet, the moment she saw the beautiful new spring collections, she pounced. She would grab clothes she thought were pretty, hold them up against herself, and insist on getting Wang Chenning’s opinion.

Wang Chenning was finally starting to understand why accompanying a woman to buy clothes is a man’s most hated chore.

Fortunately, Yang Xiaofu was considerate of his mood and didn’t shop for too long.

But in just one short hour, she had bought over a dozen outfits, including pants and boots.

Just as she was about to ask Wang Chenning to accompany her into a lingerie store to pick out underwear, he decisively pulled her away.

Yang Xiaofu had bought so many clothes that Wang Chenning had no choice but to drive her home and help her carry everything upstairs.

"It’s a good thing you brought your treatment kit. You can give me a session in a bit!" Yang Xiaofu said, triumphantly walking ahead while carrying Wang Chenning’s medical bag.

Wang Chenning had no choice but to agree.

"I’m going to take a shower first. You can just play on your phone for a bit!" Grabbing a robe and a fresh change of underwear, Yang Xiaofu went into the bathroom. She also reminded Wang Chenning that she had to go back to school later and that he would have to drive her.

A moment later, the sound of showering water came from the bathroom.

In the end, Wang Chenning didn’t ditch Yang Xiaofu. He lay on the sofa and texted Zheng Qiuhang and Luo Yuqing.

After a short while, the sound of water from the bathroom subsided.

’She was actually pretty quick in the shower today,’ Wang Chenning had just thought to himself when a loud THUD, followed by a piercing scream, came from the bathroom.

"Yang Xiaofu, what’s wrong?" Wang Chenning ran to the bathroom door and shouted through it.

"I fell! I can’t get up," Yang Xiaofu’s pained voice came from inside. "It hurts so much, and I’m bleeding a lot!"
