*Fake!*
Ning Yuanming, Xu Tianxing, and An Zhenglin were all struck with the same thought.
Who could be this clingy toward a comatose person?
Previously, Ji Yucheng’s looks and abilities had been unmatched, a prize that countless people in their circle had scrambled over. But now, all of that had been reduced to history after an accident.
The current Ji Yucheng was just a distant legend in their circle, short-lived, unable to inherit wealth, and his handsome face now pale as if he were a vampire.
And yet Ning Sui could still act as if he loved him to death?
An Zhenglin almost suspected that Ning Sui had some sort of foresight, knowing they intended to trap him and deliberately putting on a show in front of Master Ji.
Ning Yuanming and Xu Tianxing didn’t dare get closer. After all, the Ning family had no say in front of the Ji family.
But An Zhenglin couldn’t help himself and stepped forward.
“Young Master An,” the butler finally noticed him.
“I heard Yucheng is being sent abroad for treatment today. I happened to be driving by, so I came to see him,” An Zhenglin said, but his gaze fell on Ning Sui, full of meaning: “And this must be Yucheng’s wife. I haven’t congratulated you on your marriage yet.”
Ning Sui had already gotten what he wanted, the permission to depart with Ji Yucheng.
He was happily helping the doctors lift Ji Yucheng onto the car, his mind full of thoughts about cuddling abroad. Why would he even pay attention to the hand An Zhenglin had extended?
An Zhenglin: “….”
He just wanted a polite handshake!
And this kid dared to ignore him!
Could it be that he simply didn’t see him?
An Zhenglin cleared his throat and extended his hand again: “We met at the banquet last time…”
But before he could even touch Ning Sui, Ning Sui felt as if he were about to be electrocuted and quickly dodged aside: “Don’t touch me!”
An Zhenglin: “….”
Damn it! Still acting chaste in front of others?! He couldn’t even shake another man’s hand? This performance was way too over-the-top!
He didn’t know whether to pull back his hand or keep it out, so he absentmindedly rested it on the stretcher.
As the stretcher moved forward, his fingers accidentally brushed Ji Yucheng’s leg.
He hadn’t even realized it, but Ning Sui quickly elbowed him away: “Don’t touch him either!”
If there was any direct contact, Ji Yucheng’s body would act as a conduit, and Ning Sui would get shocked indirectly.
An Zhenglin stumbled slightly, swaying like a balloon before regaining his balance: “….”
He had never been so embarrassed.
Crazy, the young master is already like this, and he’s still so loved?!
Acting like it’s real!
The Ji family butler was present, essentially Master Ji’s eyes and ears.
Even if An Zhenglin’s mind was full of expletives, he still had to keep a refined appearance: “Looks like Yucheng’s new wife cares for him a lot.”
But no one paid him any attention.
An Zhenglin felt suffocated.
Ning Sui carefully cradled Ji Yucheng’s head and followed the stretcher into the car.
The butler stood nearby, completely unbothered, as if he had seen this kind of overprotective, possessive behavior from Ning Sui countless times before. His face was numb with familiarity.
An Zhenglin: “….”
The Ji family’s car drove off, kicking up small clouds of dust on the concrete, while An Zhenglin remained flustered in the wind.
“….”
Does the Ji family even have one normal person? How could someone really love a comatose person this much?!
Should he praise Ji Yucheng’s charm, or declare Ning Sui a little unhinged?
Humiliated, An Zhenglin turned back.
Xu Tianxing quickly followed, puzzled: “Did Ning Sui know in advance what we were planning?”
An Zhenglin’s expression darkened. “Look at your bright ideas! You just helped Ning Sui outsmart us. Don’t drag me into this nonsense next time!”
With that, he snatched the car keys and stormed into the driver’s seat.
Xu Tianxing and Ning Yuanming were left trailing, steaming in frustration. Xu Tianxing shouted after the car: “Hey! We came together! How are we supposed to get back if you drive off?!”
“Forget it,” Ning Yuanming said irritably.
This little episode would probably make Master Ji value Ning Sui even more.
But what exactly was going on with Ning Sui? was he pretending?
Ning Yuanming rubbed his temple, thinking he might be overthinking. How could it be real?
“Should we tell Ji Zhilin?” Xu Tianxing glanced nervously at Ning Yuanming. This had been his idea, and if it got messed up, Ning Yuanming could justifiably be annoyed.
Ning Yuanming shook his head decisively: “No.”
Ji Zhilin’s personality being what it was, if you hand something to him, he ignores it; if you ignore him, he chases after it relentlessly. In short, the young master was just annoyingly contrarian.
Telling him would only make Ning Sui root deeper in his mind.
Inside the black car headed for the airport, Ji Yucheng quietly enjoyed his little wife’s dependence and care.
The stretcher was folded away, and Ning Sui helped Ji Yucheng sit close, resting his head on his shoulder and tucking a blanket around him.
He moved lightly, willingly, savoring these moments. After all, Ji Yucheng wasn’t just his sponsor, he had a perfectly sculpted, handsome face.
Ning Sui, who loved beauty, couldn’t help but admire him.
To prevent the car from bouncing, Ning Sui held Ji Yucheng tightly, one hand brushing behind his ear, teasing in a slightly “perverted” way.
Ji Yucheng’s ears flushed slightly.
If he weren’t a comatose patient, he would have never let himself bury his head in his little wife’s neck like this. With his normally cold and proud nature, he would never show such vulnerability.
Ha! Who has ever saw a lion on the plains bury its head in a soft kitten’s neck, letting the kitten rub against its ears?
On previous rushed, exhausting trips, Ji Yucheng had only been accompanied by nurses, forced to lie on stretchers like cargo.
Only this time, feeling the warmth of his little wife’s body, did he sense this was a journey, not a mere trip.
He was becoming more familiar with the scent of his little wife.
The airport was some distance away. Sitting like this for a while, Ning Sui’s shoulders ached, his neck stiffened.
Though he wanted to continue holding him, Ji Yucheng was nearly 1.9 meters tall. Even after two years of lying in bed, he was thin but still heavy. Ning Sui struggled to support him.
He couldn’t help but recline the seat behind Ji Yucheng and gently lift him back.
Just as they were enjoying this warm moment, the young master was forced to part from his little wife: “….”
What? Not holding him anymore? Does he think I’m too heavy?
“….” Ji Yucheng instantly felt a twinge of depression.
Caring for a comatose person was certainly not easy. Over the past two years, the caregivers had changed several times, and even the butler would sigh every time he bathed Ji Yucheng.
Ning Sui had been by his side for a while, wouldn’t he get tired too?
Previously, Ji Yucheng was forced to receive information from the outside world every day. He found it utterly annoying, even once thinking that it might be better to die sooner, since living meant endless work anyway.
Until recently, Ning Sui appeared by his side.
Although his little wife’s behavior was a little strange, even obsessive, he seemed to tear open a small crack in his dull, dark life, and he found himself once again wanting to exist in this world.
But… what if he never woke up? Would he really have to care for a comatose person for the rest of her life?
009 noticed that the aura around Ji Yucheng suddenly darkened and deepened, and asked, “What’s wrong?”
The young master just wanted to think about his own matters and didn’t want to converse with the noisy, half-formed system.
009 scanned his mind: “Oh, you’re worried that if you remain a comatose patient, your little wife’s love for you will gradually fade, or even disappear?”
Ji Yucheng: “Shut up. Don’t randomly read my thoughts.”
009 rationally analyzed: “He’s already a possessive maniac who wants to touch every part of you and keep you all to himself. A little less love would actually work in your favor.”
“…” For some reason, the dark aura around Ji Yucheng only grew stronger.
009: “….”
The plane landed, and Ning Sui, along with the butler and medical team, went straight to the hospital. Master Ji was waiting for them there.
Perhaps it was Ning Sui’s imagination, but in the few days she hadn’t seen him, Master Ji had been unusually kind toward her.
The last time they sat at the same table, he had been stern, not smiling, and his wrinkles seemed carved with formality.
Even when talking to him, all his questions were about Ji Yucheng, as if he had no interest in his own granddaughter-in-law.
But this time, the normally strict master actually smiled at him.
His skin even seemed to stretch into the smile.
Ning Sui didn’t know what had changed, and felt a little uncomfortable.
“These next few days he’ll undergo some tests. When he returns depends on the medical team’s plan. I’ve arranged a hotel; someone will take you there at night.”
Ning Sui followed Ji Yucheng being pushed into the treatment room with her gaze and said, “Grandfather, no need for a hotel. I want to stay by his side.”
Otherwise, what’s the point of following him here?
Master Ji felt a bit relieved in his heart.
Affection could be nurtured. Handing Ji Yucheng over to someone who loved him made Master Ji much more at ease.
“After two years like this, no matter what you say to him, he doesn’t respond. That must be very hard,” Master Ji said.
Ning Sui quickly waved her hand: “I love him even without a response.”
If he responded, that would be a disaster! He sneaks up to cuddle him at night, he’d surely get angry and throw him off the bed.
Master Ji: “….”
Though his words sounded strange, this blind devotion was exactly what Master Ji wanted to see.
He looked Ning Sui over and was even more satisfied with this granddaughter-in-law he had thought was just chasing after a quick marriage.
Master Ji had some business abroad besides Ji Yucheng’s treatment. After giving instructions to the butler, he left, handing Ning Sui a card before departing.
Ning Sui held the card, momentarily stunned.
Was this an acknowledgment of his status?
After the preliminary checks, Ji Yucheng was moved into an VIP room.
Ning Sui bought some necessities, planning to spend the next few days with his comatose husband.
Carrying his things down the corridor, 001 sensed the presence of many “immensely powerful” people and whispered in her ear: “There’s a senior executive here, but he’s only in his sixties.”
“And there’s also a wealthy person here, though compared to Ji Yucheng’s value, they’re still a bit lacking.”
Ning Sui’s system could sense all those with overwhelming power. Previously, in Jiangcheng, the top of the food chain had been Ji Yucheng.
But now abroad, anyone occupying an VIP room in a top hospital had to be incredibly wealthy or influential.
001 said: “The room next to Ji Yucheng belongs to a blonde second-generation rich kid. He used to be a celebrity and has significant assets. Last year he lost consciousness due to illness. Do you want to take a look?”
Ning Sui: “I already have a husband. I should stay chaste…”
“But…” Ning Sui perked up: “Is he as good-looking as Ji Yucheng?!”
001 knew Ning Sui couldn’t give up his love of money and beauty, and encouraged her: “Just looking won’t break your vow of chastity.”
It wanted to see too!
Meanwhile, Ji Yucheng lay on the hospital bed, waiting for Ning Sui.
He felt he had developed a Pavlovian response toward him.
Every time Ning Sui appeared recently, he did something unexpected or emotionally stimulating, like a stone tossed into his monotonous comatose life, creating ripples.
Whenever he heard his footsteps outside his door, he had already begun guessing what Ning Sui would do next.
After spending some time together, he could now distinguish Ning Sui’s footsteps perfectly.
At this moment, he heard hin walking outside his room. His lips involuntarily curled up.
Was this embarrassing?
The young master thought coldly: Not really. Even a lion would feel a bit tender upon seeing its little mate.
Ning Sui seemed to be carrying something, his steps slightly heavier than usual. What had he bought…?
Just as he was thinking this, he heard his footsteps suddenly shift away from his doorway, running excitedly to the room next door.
In the next room, Ning Sui tiptoed several times, his shoe clicking against the floor.
He must have been looking at whoever was in that room.
Ji Yucheng: ?
“Who’s staying in the room next door?” His aura suddenly darkened.
Once summoned, 009 shivered and quickly checked: “A blonde handsome guy.”
Ji Yucheng: “….”
009 continued: “Also a comatose patient… hmm…”
009 analyzed: “Could it be that your little wife is into comatose patients?”
“….” The aura around Ji Yucheng suddenly became too dark and terrifying to describe.
009: “…Damn it, best make a quick escape.”
