Chapter 591: Bodyguard
Lanni had to stay in the hospital for a few days for observation and the whole time, Xiehan was glued to her side. He only moved when he needed to use the restroom and clean up. Li Yuming would bring them both food but when she saw Xiehan’s dark circles on the third day, she couldn’t take it anymore.
"Xiehan, dear, you should go home and have some rest. I will take care of Lanni while you are away." She persuaded him. If he heard her, he did a good job pretending not to. His hand tightly clasped Lanni’s as he held a document on the other hand.
Lanni ran her hand over his. He would assure her that he was alright each time she tried to persuade him to go home. Clearly, he was not.
"Honey, I’ve been craving your specialty." She cooed.
"I’ll cook you anything you want once you get discharged." The topic finally brought a smile on his face and he no longer looked anxious.
"But I want it today." She whined. "Could you cook me some?"
He would never say no to that, she was certain. So she took it up a notch. "But since I’m already full, you can go home, sleep a little first since you are better off in the kitchen while alert anyway, and cook later."
He saw right through her but his expression softened. They must be going crazy worrying for him if she had resorted to using such a strategy to get him to rest.
"How about this? I’ll go to sleep in the hotel across the street. It has high ratings. If you really want pork ribs..."
"The pork ribs can wait." She wasn’t actually in the mood for any. The hotel was a good idea too. She wanted to scold herself for not thinking about it sooner.
He pressed a kiss on her forehead. "Then I’ll see you later."
