Although Mi Li discovered the issue in time and ingested the poisoned Tiramisu herself, her strange behavior at that moment and being sent to the hospital by Ji Xiaocheng in front of so many people were still exploited by those with ulterior motives.
The Cyrus Hotel was embroiled in a food poisoning scandal involving its staff. Although it had not been confirmed by the parties involved, the news had already sparked heated discussions on Weibo, with suspicions of hidden forces stirring up trouble behind the scenes.
When Mi Li opened her eyes, she saw the trending news pushed to her by a colleague on her phone.
She risked her life to prevent the incident, yet she never expected the hotel would still find itself in the eye of the storm.
Lying on the hospital bed with an IV drip, Mi Li's face was pale as paper, and she looked unwilling to speak. However, outside the door was a throng of media eager to interview her.
Ji Xiaocheng kindly drew the curtains and forcefully pushed Mi Li back down when she tried to sit up. "You need to rest properly; I'll handle the rest!"
"Let the reporters in! I can't leave this unresolved, oh no, I won't sacrifice myself in vain."
Mi Li struggled to sit up again, looking serious. She needed to clarify this matter; otherwise, how could she continue working at the hotel?
Unable to persuade her otherwise, Ji Xiaocheng finally allowed the media inside.
Mi Li explained to the reporters that the food poisoning was due to her eating expired frozen desserts at home that morning and had nothing to do with the hotel.
Afterward, she even proactively showed them a photo of her breakfast posted on her social media!
With evidence in hand, the reporters stopped probing further into the incident but began to gossip relentlessly about Mi Li's relationship with President Ji.
Ji Xiaocheng sent the patients away on the grounds that they needed rest. Just before closing the door, he suddenly said, "She is my woman."
The reporters outside erupted; this gossip was far more newsworthy than the food poisoning incident among the staff. Satisfied with the scoop, they quickly dispersed.
Mi Li chuckled, "Why did you publicly acknowledge my identity?"
Ji Xiaocheng lay down beside her, pretending to doze off, his long eyelashes casting a shadow under his eyes. "Isn't this what you've always wanted?"
Mi Li turned over, carefully studying his handsome face. Her fingers couldn't help but brush against his eyelashes before landing on his lips. "Let me mark you, to prove you are mine."
Just as she was about to press her lips against his, Ji Xiaocheng took control, pushing her back onto the bed and kissing her deeply.
Mi Li instantly surrendered. Although she had bold intentions, she lacked experience and soon found herself lost in the kiss.
"Are you sure that time in the underground garage was your first kiss?" Ji Xiaocheng licked his lips, a mischievous smile on his face.
Mi Li blushed deeply. "How do you know? It must have been something I said when I was drunk."
During her week in the hospital, Ji Xiaocheng visited every day and forbade anyone else from seeing her.
Mi Li's parents took advantage of the times he went back to the hotel to get documents to visit her, fearing an encounter with the imposing Mr. Ji.
Mi Li found it amusing yet frustrating; how could her future in-laws be afraid of their son-in-law?
The day before her discharge, an unexpected guest arrived in the ward.
Li Fei'er told Mi Li that the food poisoning incident was orchestrated by her and that she was the one who reported it for publicity. Just because Mi Li managed to stop it once doesn't mean she can stop it again.
Next time, as long as there is solid evidence, Ceres will be forced to descend from the stars.
Thinking she could scare off the battle-hardened Mi Li with just a few words, Li Fei'er was too naive.
Mi Li thrived on challenges; for her, there were two things in this world that she could never let go of: handsome men and money.
If she wanted her to withdraw, there was no way that would happen.
