He glanced ahead nonchalantly and said, "If I let you down, can I fly out from here?"
It seemed that wasn't possible; I could only walk away. His car would still be stuck here, and he would probably be late for work.
However, seeing his indifferent expression, I felt that my anxiety was of no use, so I just sat back and relaxed.
The car ride from my place to the hospital was stop-and-go. Even though we were in the same city, it took a solid hour and a half. During this time, Xiao Minxing even had the time to go buy breakfast, which he directly handed to me, saying, "You didn't eat anything since you came out this morning, right?"
I nodded and replied, "You called me right after I got up."
He smirked slightly but without a smile, his tone not too harsh: "You used to be quite diligent. How did you end up like this? Not even eating properly; what about the one inside you?"
I felt my face flush with embarrassment at his words and had no retort, so I could only stuff food into my mouth.
He glanced at me; his face showed little emotion but appeared calmer than usual. Holding a cup of hot milk, when he saw me choke a bit after taking a couple of bites, he offered me a sip before taking it back.
It wasn't until the road was completely clear that he handed me the cup and said, "Be careful; it's still a bit hot."
I couldn't help but laugh and said, "I've already drunk it; how hot can it be?"
Xiao Minxing immediately widened his eyes and said, "Well, you could spill it all over yourself. Then we wouldn't need to go to the hospital; I could just take you back to change clothes, and by then it would be close to noon rush hour."
I pouted and looked at the crowd outside, saying, "How can it be this congested? If they all commute like this every day, wouldn't they be late every day?"
Xiao Minxing didn't say anything, but the corners of his lips curled up slightly, as if he were smiling, or perhaps it was just a habitual gesture of his.
By the time Car entered the Hospital, it was already past ten in the morning. For such a short distance, we took twice as long as yesterday. I couldn't help but doubt how the economy of Haicheng was thriving; at this rate, those stuck in traffic wouldn't have any time for work, as they would be spending all their time in traffic jams.
In the past, when I went out with Xiao Minxing, we had encountered similar situations, but it was usually just for a stretch of road. Most of the time, we could reach our destination smoothly. However, today it felt like we were stuck wherever we went, which was quite frustrating.
Even inside the Hospital, it was crowded. We spent quite a while looking for a parking spot and couldn't understand where all these people were coming from so early in the day.
Xiao Minxing got out of the car and casually pulled a Fruit Basket from the trunk. He raised an eyebrow and said, "Let's go."
This was indeed his usual style. Whenever I went out with him, whether to visit his parents or to see friends and relatives, I only needed to take care of myself; he always prepared everything else meticulously.
Thinking about this made me glance at him again.
He had a cold and hard appearance, and his height allowed him to look down on everything around him. Yet sometimes he could be so thoughtful, not forgetting even the smallest details—truly a peculiar person.
"What's wrong?" Xiao Minxing had stopped walking at some point and turned to look at me.
I quickly pulled my thoughts back to normal and shifted my gaze to the Fruit Basket in his hand, asking, "When did you buy this? I had no idea."
He snorted lightly through his nose without answering my question but instead asked, "Were you smiling sneakily at me just now because of this?"
"How could I be smiling sneakily?" I almost immediately covered my face with my hands to check if I had been smiling.
However, Xiao Minxing had already taken a step forward, standing tall, and quickly reached the entrance of the Elevator.
There were just as many people there, including patients, Family Members, and Medical Staff pushing patients.
We waited for two rounds of the Elevator but couldn't squeeze in. Xiao Minxing glanced at the nearby chairs and said, "How about this? You wait here, and I'll take the stairs to check it out."
"That won't do," I hurriedly denied.
As a result, I received a glare from Xiao Minxing, who deliberately said in a stern voice, "Don't worry, I'll record the whole thing for you to see. It will be just like going there yourself."
"That's not acceptable either." This time I spoke softly but still rejected his suggestion and actively walked toward the safety stairs.
Xiao Minxing followed me, and the two of us began to climb step by step. Although the Surgical Ward wasn't too high, I had been exercising very little lately, and with my pregnancy, walking like this was exhausting.
In the end, it was almost one step forward and two steps back; I felt completely drained and relied entirely on Xiao Minxing's arm to keep moving upward.
He didn't show any impatience; instead, he placed the Fruit Basket on the ground and said, "Fine, it's faster if I carry you up."
I nearly screamed in surprise and backed away, saying to him, "Just hold onto the gifts; I'm fine. The Doctor also advised me to exercise more; today is just a good opportunity."
He looked at me doubtfully but ultimately wrapped one arm around my waist and pulled me up to Upstairs.
After resting for a while in the corridor outside the ward, my legs were trembling, but my breathing gradually steadied. Looking at the location of the ward, I said, "Let's go in."
Xiao Minxing helped me up from my seat and said as we walked towards the Entrance, "I really don't understand what you're thinking in your head."
God knows I wanted to retort that I didn't know what he was thinking either, but seeing his helpless expression as he carefully supported me, I decided to keep my mouth shut.
When it comes to arguing, my chances of winning against him are slim, and besides, I still needed something from him, so it was better to endure for now.
In Su Qian's hospital room, there were indeed family members present, and surprisingly, Guan Mingyue was also there.
She stood at the head of the bed, her gaze fixed on Su Qian. Her eyes were somewhat complicated, but her expression remained unusually calm.
Su Qian lay flat on the bed, his head wrapped in a circle of white gauze, with some blood seeping through, creating a striking contrast of red and white.
He turned his face to look at his mother sitting by the bedside, his lips moving as if he were saying something important.
Mrs. Su had her back to the Entrance, so I couldn't see her expression. However, it seemed that Su Qian was telling her something significant because he occasionally nodded.
We waited outside for a few minutes until we saw Su Qian close his mouth. Only then did Xiao Minxing gently knock twice on the door.
He stepped in ahead of me and politely greeted the people in the room.
I also offered my greetings and glanced at their faces. I noticed that only Su Qian's eyes were bright; both Guan Mingyue and Su Mother looked unwell, even somewhat displeased.
