Chapter 706 - 687: What Does It Feel Like to Like Someone?
After examining Qin Mobai, the doctor administered an IV drip, and under the influence of the medication, Qin Mobai fell into a deep sleep on the bed.
After tucking Qin Mobai in, Lou Xi exited the room.
There were doctors and nurses inside the room, so she felt relatively at ease. Initially, she intended to help Qin Ruiqian with the arrangements for the elderly woman’s passing, but as soon as she left the room, Lou Xi’s phone rang.
She looked at it, and it was an unfamiliar number.
Lou Xi answered it, because calls from such unfamiliar numbers usually didn’t bring good news, but she couldn’t afford to miss them either.
"How come you went back without saying anything to me?" A familiar voice came from the other end of the line.
Lou Xi was startled and then realized it was Ji Nanming’s voice!
When she returned from the Capital with Qin Mobai this morning, everything happened too suddenly, and she simply hadn’t had the chance to inform Ji Nanming.
"Sorry, it happened unexpectedly. Mo Bai and I hastily returned to Nancheng; grandma passed away."
Upon hearing this, Ji Nanming finally felt relieved, knowing it wasn’t Lou Xi intentionally leaving him behind to return to Nancheng with Qin Mobai.
It was because something happened to the Qin Family’s old lady, and that’s why they returned to Nancheng.
"The mastermind hasn’t been found yet. It’s very dangerous for you to go back now, too reckless."
"But grandma passed away, and if Mo Bai and I don’t return now, we will regret it for our entire lives." So, despite the danger, they came back.
It was bound to be exposed sooner or later; it was just two days earlier.
"Alright then, since you’ve gone back, so be it," Ji Nanming said in a deep voice. "I’ve already handled the stamp you needed; I’ll give it to you when I return to Nancheng."
Lou Xi was surprised; originally, she went to the Capital to get the stamp, but was delayed by some matters, coupled with numerous difficulties, she hadn’t been able to accomplish this task.
Unexpectedly, Ji Nanming had already managed to secure the stamp for her.
"Thank you! I don’t even know what to say to thank you!" Besides gratitude, Lou Xi didn’t know what else she could say to Ji Nanming.
The other end of the line suddenly fell silent, and Lou Xi thought he might no longer be by the phone, so she asked.
"Hmm, I’m still here," Ji Nanming said faintly, "I’m about to get on the plane, talk later."
Lou Xi still wanted to say something, but Ji Nanming had already hung up the phone, seemingly unwilling to hear Lou Xi’s voice anymore.
At the Capital Airport, Ji Nanming was holding his phone in his hand, Ed stood by his side.
"Young Master Ji, it’s time to board the plane," Ed reminded.
Ji Nanming glanced at the time, his deep eyes unfathomable, as though lost in thought.
"Ed, it’s been so long, I might have forgotten what it feels like to like someone, do you know?" he turned, looking at Ed seriously.
Ed scratched his head, "I... how would I know what it’s like to like someone? I haven’t been in a relationship yet!"
What could he do? He hadn’t been in a relationship, and he felt helpless about it too!
Ji Nanming put his phone back into his pocket, one hand in the pocket of his suit pants, and started walking toward the boarding gate.
"Young Master Ji, why did you suddenly ask me this question? Have you fallen for someone? Which girl could catch our Young Master Ji’s eye? If you really could start a new relationship, that would be great; Mister and Madam would certainly be very happy!" Ed became more excited as he spoke.
Ji Nanming suddenly stopped, turned to glare at Ed, "If you don’t speak, no one will take you for a mute!"
"What did I say wrong?" Ed was puzzled, looking at the somewhat unusual Ji Nanming, pondering the women who had appeared beside him these past few days.
A silhouette suddenly appeared in Ed’s mind; it couldn’t be her, could it...
