A Star Reborn: The Queen’s Return

Chapter 1302: Wei Lingnan Isn’t Picky

Wei Lingnan said, “That’s impossible. Wait for me at the hospital, I’ll come right away.”

By the time he arrived, Jin Ling’er had already received a new round of treatments and was sleeping on the bed with her eyes closed. The heat had yet to completely subside. Wei Lingnan checked the situation of Jin Ling’er under Xia Yingluo’s worried eyes. He straightened his back, his expression a little unpredictable.

Xia Yingluo asked him anxiously, “How is it?”

Wei Lingnan looked down at her, his voice faint. “If your friend is ill, was your first response to blame me?”

Xia Yingluo was stunned for a few seconds. “I didn’t mean that.” Wasn’t Jin Ling’er’s relapse due to the medicine? However, he was the one who told her that she would get better after taking the medicine. Since it turned out like this, who wouldn’t think that it was because of the medicine?

Wei Lingnan smiled slightly, with a little coldness in his eyes.

Xia Yingluo felt that something was wrong. The man was moody and looked like he was going to explode again.

Xia Yingluo became nervous and said to him carefully, “Isn’t it your medicine?”

“It seems I was too nosy.” Wei Lingnan didn’t answer her and only said, “My kindness was treated otherwise. Since you don’t trust me, why should I do anything to rescue her?” After that, he turned and left.

Xia Yingluo held onto him. “Wei Lingan!” She didn’t dare to let him go like this. She hadn’t figured out what happened to Jin Ling’er’s sudden deterioration. Even if it wasn’t caused by his medicine, who knew if there was a drug conflict with the hospital’s treatment plan? It was a matter of life and death, and she didn’t dare to be too careless, so she had to say good words to Wei Lingnan. “I was wrong. I shouldn’t have doubted you. Don’t just leave it like that.”

Wei Lingnan’s voice was a little cold. “Let go.”

Xia Yingluo grasped him tightly, her eyes pleading with him.

Wei Lingnan sneered. “Xia Yingluo, I’m not a dog that you can call and wave away. You think of me whenever you need help, and you throw me aside when you think I have no more value. Don’t you think that’s too snobbish?”

Xia Yingluo was stunned. She had never thought of it like that before.

However, if she thought about it carefully, it turned out that, except for the few times that Jin Ling’er needed treatment and she had to take the initiative to find Wei Lingnan, even when Wei Lingnan appeared in front of her, she had found it annoying.

“I apologize,” she said.

Wei Lingnan still sneered and looked at her. “You’re apologizing so unwilling. Have I wronged you?”

Xia Yingluo wanted to grab something and hit him directly on the face. This person didn’t even think that there was a reason as to why she treated him like that. He even felt wronged. But for Jin Ling’er’s sake, she had to yield and whispered, “I’m not unwilling. Tell me, how can I get you to continue helping?”

The room was very quiet. Suddenly, Wei Lingnan reached out and raised her white and delicate chin.

Xia Yingluo’s heart missed a beat, but she didn’t dare move.

The man in front lowered his head and kissed her with his cold lips. It was tempting at first, but it soon turned into a domineering kiss. Xia Yingluo was choked by his kiss, and her brain lacked oxygen. Instinctively, her hands climbed up to his back, and it was probably this gesture that pleased him. His mania gradually became gentle, and he finally fell silent.

“This is interest,” he said in her ear. “Xia Yingluo, you owe me a favor. I’ll think about how you can repay me.”

It wasn’t good to owe this perverted beast a favor, but now, Xia Yingluo had no choice.

She gritted her teeth and agreed. “Okay.”

Wei Lingnan smiled, but the smile was still cold. How much could the girl in front of him sacrifice for her friend? In her eyes, did anyone really matter more than him, Wei Lingnan?

Xia Yingluo noticed the moody atmosphere around him, but she didn’t know why. No matter how much she talked, she was still in the wrong, so she stood aside honestly, and watched as Wei Lingnan examined Jin Ling’er in her bed again.

This time Xia Yingluo didn’t dare ask him how she was, she just stared at him eagerly.

Wei Lingnan looked down at her small appearance, and an unknown fire rose in his heart again. His voice was even colder. “Is your friend an idiot?”

Xia Yingluo wanted to scold that he was the idiot, but she looked at Wei Lingnan’s expression and didn’t dare to. “Yes, yes, yes, how could Jing’er be smarter than you?” She sucked up to him carefully and asked, “Is there anything wrong with her?”

Wei Lingnan didn’t continue to make things difficult on her this time and simply said, “She’s not having chills caused by a cold, but pneumonia caused by viral cold, so my medicine didn’t work. Your friend must have been exposed to something infected with the virus.”

Xia Yingluo was stunned and didn’t expect the truth to be the case.

“But she fell into the water and caught a cold,” she said.

Wei Lingnan sneered. “Your entertainment circle is so chaotic. Can you guarantee that someone didn’t harm her?”

Xia Yingluo originally wanted to refute but found that Wei Lingnan was right. Who could tell what happened in the crew? The only person who knew was Jin Ling’er. Xia Yingluo sighed and said to Wei Lingnan, “Thank you for coming to see her. It’s late, you…” She wanted to tell Wei Lingnan to go back to rest, but when she saw his gloomy complexion, she thought of his phrase, “Come immediately as you wish or go as soon as you wanted,” and swallowed back her words. “You came here in such a hurry, have you had lunch yet?” She changed the subject subtly. “I know there’s a good restaurant near the hospital. Let’s eat together?”

Wei Lingnan’s expression improved, and he went to the restaurant with her.

It was past mealtime, and the restaurant was not very lively. The waiter came over and asked them what they wanted to eat.

Wei Lingnan ordered a few things, but they were all her favorite dishes. She couldn’t help but glance at him, wondering if this was a coincidence? Only then did she suddenly realize that she never knew what Wei Lingnan loved to eat, and she knew very little about him.

“What do you like to eat?” She asked cautiously.

Wei Lingnan glanced at her, making Xia Yingluo inexplicably nervous.

“I don’t mean anything else,” she explained, adding, “You are my boyfriend, but I don’t even know what you like to eat. It’s too much.”

At this time, hearty dishes were served.

Wei Lingnan picked up the tableware to eat gracefully and said, “There’s nothing I particularly like to eat.” Back then, the conditions on the Skatana Planet were bad. He just ate whatever was available, how could he be picky? This formed a good habit of not being a picky eater, so how could it be so easy to change in millions of years?

Xia Yingluo also seemed to remember what kind of environment he grew up in. Suddenly, slight sympathy glimmered in her eyes. This man didn’t have an easy life. “I’ll cook for you if I have the chance,” she said with a smile. “You will definitely find your favorite food.”
