Ji Mo took out a business card from his pocket and handed it to Bai Yuqi.

" Ji Mo, Ji Mo…" She took the business card and muttered Ji Mo's name.

When Bai Yuqi looked at Ji Mo again, Ji Mo had already walked to the door of the ward.

" Mr. Ji, wait…" Bai Yuqi hurriedly called out to Ji Mo just before he stepped out of the ward.

Ji Mo thought that she had changed her mind and stopped in his tracks. He turned his head at a 45-degree angle and looked at the woman with a questioning gaze.

Who knew that what he saw was Bai Yuqi's dim, sorrowful, and misty eyes, as well as her delicate face that had turned even paler because of anxiety.

"Mr. Ji, I was wrong just now. I shouldn't have looked at you with bright eyes. That was very impolite, but…I didn't do it on purpose. I'm really happy that you came to see me!”

At this point, Bai Yuqi rubbed her teary eyes sadly and sobbed,""Actually, I want to see you for nothing else. I just want to say thank you!”

"I only had a short memory loss before. Now, I remember everything! My name is Bai Yuqi. I'm an orphan. I've been weak since I was young and would faint at any time. The hospital can't diagnose what illness I have. The mother-in-law who raised me never let me go out, so I don't have any friends. I yearned for the bustling world outside, so I couldn't help but sneak out! Who knew that she would faint as she walked, which was why she was hit. Actually, it wasn't a collision. Your car only bumped into me lightly! Thank you for sending me to the hospital. Otherwise…I don't even dare to think about the consequences…I'm afraid that my mother-in-law will blame me, and I'm even more afraid that she'll be sad for me. I still don't dare to tell my mother-in-law that I'm in the hospital.”

"When I saw that other patients had their relatives and friends visiting me, I was the only one who was alone. I was very depressed, so I hoped that someone would come to see me and talk to me. That was why I was so excited when I saw Mr. Ji! I may have offended Mr. Ji. I'm sorry!”

As Bai Yuqi spoke, she began to sip pitifully. Her delicate and weak appearance made the cold Ji Mo frown.

It wasn't pity, but he was assessing how true her words were.

In just a few seconds, Ji Mo chose to believe it. He thought back to when he had handed the check to her. Although her eyes were still bright, she was clearly stunned at that moment. Even when she looked at the check, she had a confused expression on her face. It seemed that she was not keen on money!

Most importantly, the doctor had told him that her body was indeed very weak. The fracture in her leg was slowly recovering. Her memory loss was recovering, and other major and minor injuries were recovering. However, she would often faint. As she said, she could not find the reason at all. These days, she had been to the hospital again and again. Other than the doctors and nurses, no one else had come to her ward!

The doctor asked her if she should call her family. She also said that there was only one elderly woman in her family. She did not want to tell her and did not want her mother-in-law to be sad.

Ji Mo's cold expression only turned for the better after he believed her words.

He turned around and walked to the bed again. He looked at Bai Yuqi, who was crying with her head lowered, and was silent for a moment. He took out a silk handkerchief from his suit pocket and handed it to her. He said indifferently,"Use this!"

"You…don't blame me?" Bai Yuqi looked up at Ji Mo with tears in her eyes. Her eyes were as pitiful as a stray dog that no one wanted. No matter how cold Ji Mo was, no matter how he didn't know how to be gentle, his heart couldn't harden.

"Yes!" Ji Mo nodded coldly and waved the silk handkerchief in his hand at her.

"Thank you!" Hearing this, Bai Yuqi smiled with tears in her eyes as she took the silk handkerchief from Ji Mo's hands. As she wiped her tears, she stole a glance at the silent and indifferent Ji Mo. She wanted to say something but hesitated.

In the end, Ji Mo couldn't help but ask,""What's wrong?"

" I... I..." Bai Yuqi's face was bashful. She wanted to say something but stopped herself.

Ji Mo frowned slightly and signaled her to continue with his eyes.

"I haven't had dinner yet. I'm hungry!”Bai Yuqi lowered her eyes in embarrassment.

Ji Mo heard her unexpected words and was slightly stunned. He considerately asked her what she wanted to eat. Then, he took out his phone and called his assistant, asking him to bring Bai Yuqi food.

After the call, Ji Mo wanted to leave and said,""Miss Bai, lie down and rest first. My assistant will come to bring you food in a while. I'll..."

"I know I shouldn't force you, but can Mr. Ji stay and accompany me? I don't want to be alone!" Before Ji Mo could finish his sentence, Bai Yuqi's delicate and pitiful voice interrupted him.

Bai Yuqi couldn't let him leave so quickly. If she wanted the invisible internal injuries that the hospital couldn't detect to heal quickly, she had to absorb more of the vital qi that was emitted from his body.

Although he hadn't caused her much harm, and he wasn't the one who had caused her to be hospitalized, as a responsible man, Ji Mo hesitated for a moment before pulling a chair over to sit by the bed.

However, he was a man of few words and did not know what to say to the woman in front of him. He took a newspaper from the cabinet and began to read it.

Bai Yuqi was afraid of arousing his disgust, so she did not dare to say anything more. She only half-lay down and stole a glance at Ji Mo from time to time while greedily sucking in his Yuan Qi. Her mind had long been spinning.

She had only spent a short time with him and breathed in his scent, but she realized that she had become much more energetic! If he could devour his primordial spirit or dual cultivate with him…

She was unwilling to devour such a handsome man's primordial spirit, so she might as well take him…

Ji Mo, who was flipping through the newspaper, suddenly felt a chill down his spine. At the same time, he felt Bai Yuqi's burning gaze. He raised his head and glanced at her, only to find that she was looking at him with an innocent gaze. He asked softly,""Mr. Ji, what's wrong?"

It was nothing!

"Eh? I thought my eyes were playing tricks on me! So it really is CEO Ji. I'm really fated to see CEO Ji accompanying a beauty at the hospital!”

Before Ji Mo could finish his sentence, he was interrupted by a voice coming from the door of the ward.

The owner of this voice was none other than the CEO of Hongyang, Guan Yixiang, whom he had met a few days ago.

"As the saying goes, there are many places in life where we don't meet. Don't you think so, President Guan?”Ji Mo curled his lips mockingly. He expressed that he really didn't want to meet this person.

Every time he saw him, he would think of the man's desire for Xiaoning, and he could not help but feel displeased and disgusted.

However, what made him even more disgusted was what Guan Yixiang said next.

He strolled over to Ji Mo and Bai Yuqi's side and looked at them with envy and jealousy. He then looked at them and sighed,""I really envy CEO Ji for being able to spend time with the beauty he loves. I don't have such good fortune. Sigh, I wonder if the beauty I love is missing me at this moment?”

The first half of Guan Yixiang's deliberately twisted sentence had already made Ji Mohan's face rise. What did he mean by a beauty in love? Was she, Bai Yuqi, the person Ji Mo loved?

The second half of the sentence was not only smug, but it was also obviously provocative and whimsical! Ji Mo was so angry that he had the urge to flip the table.

Wasn't the person whom he, Guan Yixiang, was in love with, Qing Ning? Would she miss him? Who was he? If she dared to miss him, he would…make her look bad!

In contrast to Ji Mo's concern, Bai Yuqi, who was lying on the hospital bed, did not seem to hear the tit-for-tat between their words. She smiled very purely and asked softly, as if she was very ignorant of the world,""Mr. Ji, is this your friend?”

Ji Mo was too lazy to say anything.

Guan Yixiang smiled warmly and introduced himself to Bai Yuqi,""Hello! My name is Guan Yixiang!"

"Bai Yuqi!" Bai Yuqi smiled and reached out to hold Guan Yixiang's hand before letting go. She was not as enthusiastic towards him as she was towards Ji Mo.

Although it was only a light touch for a short second, it was enough for Guan Yixiang to be surprised by the coldness of Bai Yuqi's hand.

What illness did this woman have? Just now, he felt as if he had touched a slippery popsicle.

Guan Yixiang had come to the hospital to visit his grandfather, who was hospitalized for high blood pressure. His grandfather's ward was just next door. He had just walked out of his grandfather's ward and passed by Bai Yuqi's ward. Bai Yuqi's door was not closed, so he accidentally noticed Ji Mo.

At first, he thought that he had seen wrongly, so he stopped to check.

Seeing that he had already angered Ji Mo and that both of them did not like him, he did not want to be snubbed. He said goodbye and left Bai Yuqi's ward.

Just as Ji Mo had said, it was a rare encounter in life. As soon as he walked out of the hospital, he saw a woman walking toward him. Her black hair was fluttering in the wind, and she was wearing a green dress.

"Yi, Yixiang, why are you here?”Before Guan Yixiang could greet her, she had already spotted him and walked up to him with a smile.

"What about you?" Guan Yixiang smiled warmly and asked a question.

"Didn't I tell you to protect someone last time?" Qing Ning asked. That person is here, so I'm here!”

When Guan Yixiang heard this, he remembered that the person she was protecting was Ji Mo, and his happy expression dimmed.

"I'm here to see my grandfather!"

"See your grandfather?" Qing Ning frowned with a grave expression.

"What's wrong?" Wasn't her expression a little too strange?

Without saying a word, Qing Ning walked around Guan Yixiang with a serious expression on her face. During this time, she kept sniffing at Guan Yixiang.

Just as Guan Yixiang was about to burst into laughter, Qing Ning frowned and said seriously,""There's demonic qi!"

"Puchi!" Guan Yixiang couldn't help but laugh out loud. It was because her behavior was too cute!

Feeling helpless at his laughter, Qing Ning said seriously,""I'm serious!"

"Who did you see just now?"”

Who had he seen? Other than her grandfather, she had only seen Ji Mo and Bai Yuqi!

Eh? Could it be that he was wearing Bai Yuqi's perfume and that she had sensed it? Was she so sensitive because she…cared?

Was she saying that it was demonic energy because she cared about it?

Thinking of this possibility, Guan Yixiang's smile became even more radiant. He was as handsome as Apollo, and as charming as the moment when a hundred flowers bloomed. He had attracted the eyes of countless young girls and young women.

Seeing how he was laughing, Qing Ning felt even more helpless. She knew that humans did not believe in demons, but he really did have a demonic aura.

She felt that he was a good person, so she reminded him at the first moment. Who knew that he would take it as a joke?

Helpless ING! Although she was powerless, she could not ignore this matter. Since she was in the human world, she would not let those demons and ghosts do whatever they wanted in the human world.

"Stop smiling. Tell me, who did you see just now?”Qing Ning pulled a long face. Why did she feel that this demonic aura was a little similar to the snake demon aura that Ji Mo had previously come into contact with? Could it be that both he and Ji Mo had met this snake demon before?

Guan Yixiang smiled indifferently.”

"What is unimportant? It's very important, okay?" Eh, Ji Mo seemed to be far away from that monster, and was not in danger for the time being. Then she was not in a hurry. She would settle Guan Yixiang's case first before going to Ji Mo's case. She had to find out if it was the same snake demon who had approached them, and if it was the snake demon that her sister had mentioned.

"Alright, Qingning, she's really just an unimportant person!”Guan Yixiang patted Qing Ning's shoulder reassuringly, then looked at the time on his wrist to see that it was already 10 p. m. He smiled and invited her,""Are you hungry? Do you want to have supper with me? I'll take you to eat delicious food!"

"Really?" As a foodie, her eyes would inevitably light up whenever she talked about food, and Xiaoning was no exception. However, she was actually not hungry yet. However, she decided to have supper with Guan Yixiang because of the demonic aura around him. However, she was a stubborn demon. She would not be so easily led by him to change the topic.

After another round of relentless questioning, Guan Yixiang finally confessed.

From then on, Bai Yuqi and Qing Ning had an encounter, and the two demons had a few entanglements…

A moment after Guan Yixiang left, Ji Mo also stood up and bid farewell to Bai Yuqi.

Bai Yuqi watched as Ji Mo's tall and straight back disappeared into the ward. The smile on her face that was not familiar with the world quickly turned into a sinister and scheming smile.

" Ji Mo…hehe…Ji Mo, I, Bai Yuqi, will never let the man I like slip out of my hands…hehe…"

For some reason, after Guan Yixiang mentioned Qing Ning, Ji Mo missed her so much that he left Bai Yuqi's ward in a hurry.

However, he did not expect to see her so soon.

But what was wrong with her? He was so anxious to see her, yet she was walking beside Guan Yixiang with a bright smile, chatting and laughing with him…

He would not allow it!

Ji Mo's entire body exuded a cold aura that seemed to come from hell. He strode forward and quickly caught up with her. The moment before Qing Ning got into Guan Yixiang's luxury car, he forcefully pushed Guan Yixiang, who was helping her open the car door, away. He grabbed onto Qing Ning's arm and pulled her to his side.

His sudden action almost made Qing Ning fall. When she looked up and saw that it was him, she roared,""Hooligan Ji, are you crazy? Let me go!"

"Follow me!" Ji Mo's face darkened as he ignored Qing Ning's words. He also ignored Guan Yixiang, who had just regained his senses.

"Why should I go with you? Who do you think you are? Let go of me!" Qing Ning expressed that she could not stand Ji Mo's overbearing attitude. Wasn't it just an accident? What right did he have to treat her as his property and care about this and that?

"Ji Mo, didn't you hear me? Qingning told you to let go!" Guan Yixiang, who was also almost knocked down by Ji Mo, reacted at this moment. He walked up to Ji Mo and gently held onto the wrist of the other hand of Qing Ning. His eyes were fixed on Ji Hei's large hand that was roughly pinching onto Qing Ning's arm. The usually gentle and handsome man's face was now filled with hostility.

"Director Guan, I advise you to let go of your filthy hands!”Ji Hei coldly looked at Guan Yixiang's annoying hand.

There were two equally tall and outstanding men. One of them was dressed in a suit and had a cold and cold expression. He was like a sharp icicle on the top of a mountain.

One of them was dressed in casual clothes, and his expression was gentle with a sharp killing intent. He was like a sword that was ready to be unsheathed at any moment, hiding a killing intent.

The two of them looked at each other, neither giving in to the other. The scene was like a sword drawing a crossbow.

Qing Ning, who was initially angry at Ji Mo, was stunned by the silence. She looked at one person and then another before shouting at Ji Mo again,""Let go!"

"Don't even think about it!" Ji Mo did not even spare a glance at Qing Ning. He then turned to Guan Yixiang and said sarcastically,""Why does a kind-hearted man like President Guan always like to abduct innocent women?”

"CEO Ji, let me remind you! Qingning is a free individual, not your possession. Please respect her choice!”Guan Yixiang didn't yield an inch, and his imposing manner matched Ji Mo's.

"Tsk!" Ji Mo snorted." A person who always thinks about how to kidnap other people's women doesn't deserve to talk about respect with me here."”

Why didn't you think of respecting me when you seduced my woman? After he finished speaking, Ji Mo did not forget to curse in his heart.

"I think this is just your wishful thinking, CEO Ji! Have you asked for Qing Ning's opinion?"

"There's no need for that! She's my woman, that's the truth!”Ji Mo seemed to be deliberately provoking Guan Yixiang as he glanced at Xiaoning with a proud look on his face.

Upon hearing his words, Qing Ning was infuriated. Ignoring the fact that she was wearing a dress, she flew up and kicked Ji Mo.

"You pig! Go to hell!"

"Hiss…damn woman, how dare you!”Qing Ning's action had already used her magic power, and Ji Mo was kicked to the ground.

"CEO Ji, are you alright?" The bodyguards who had been following behind him rushed forward and scrambled to help Ji Mo up.

"Yixiang, let's go!" With a straight face, Qing Ning did not even look at Ji Mo and got into Guan Yixiang's car first.

Guan Yixiang nodded. He turned his head to look at Ji Mo, who had pushed the bodyguards away and struggled to get up. He raised his eyebrows, his expression full of provocation and schadenfreude.

"Woman, if you dare to go with him, you're dead!”

" Woo…" However, he was met with a burst of exhaust gas from Guan Yixiang's car engine. With her actions, she had shown him that she was very daring!

"CEO Ji, are you alright?"

"Get lost! Follow Guan Yixiang's car!" The new bodyguard expressed his concern to Ji Mo, but he was scolded by Ji Mo with a dark face.

The bodyguards expressed their innocence, but they still obediently got into their cars and chased after Guan Yixiang.

"Bang!" Ji Mo's face darkened as he watched the bodyguards 'car drive away. He punched the streetlight pole beside him, unable to vent his anger.

When he saw Qing Ning leave in Guan Yixiang's car, the image of a man and a woman riding a horse together suddenly appeared in his mind. That image made him as angry as he was now, and at the same time, he felt a faint pain in his heart!

Ji Mo was getting more and more confused about what had happened to him recently. Images of one sort or another kept appearing in his mind. Even an atheist like him had to wonder if he was possessed.

All of this added together made Ji Mo even more agitated.

What could men not tolerate the most? It wasn't an insult, nor was it a blow. It was a complete loss of face in front of his love rival. Qing Ning's actions were undoubtedly a slap to Ji Mo's face. The pain was on his face, but it was also on his heart!

She actually kicked him in front of Guan Yixiang and let so many people see him in such a sorry state? He, Ji Mo, had lost all his face because of her.

The more Ji Mo thought about it, the angrier he became. His face darkened even more. With a muffled grunt, he punched the lamp post again to vent the anger in his heart.

However, even though his fist was red and swollen, the fire in his heart did not extinguish at all. Instead, it burned even more fiercely.

Thinking back to the smile he had shown Guan Yixiang a few days ago and the good impression he had for Guan Yixiang, he…couldn't stand it! He really…couldn't stand her being with Guan Yixiang.

If they continued to be together at this rate, it would be hard for him to be sure that she would not fall for Guan Yixiang. He would never allow that to happen.

"CEO Ji, should we follow them?”Just as Ji Mo was about to call Old Ma to drive the car over and chase after them, Old Ma had already driven the car over as if he knew the future.

Ji Mo didn't say anything else and was about to open the car door with a sullen face. However, just as his hand was about to touch the door handle, he was stopped by a panting and weak voice."Mister Ji!"

Ji Mo turned his head and saw Bai Yuqi, who was dressed in a patient's gown, panting tiredly a few steps away from him. Her thin body looked like a willow, as if she would fall to the ground if the wind blew.

Perhaps it was because of her exercise, but her delicate pale face was now tinged with a faint blush. When passersby saw such a weak and sickly beauty, they felt a surge of pity in their hearts for no reason, and they had the urge to protect her under their wings.

However, this did not include Ji Mo, who was currently frustrated. He frowned and said,"Why did you come down?"

Ji Mo's unspoken meaning was,'Don't you faint frequently? She still ran out. Didn't she want to be a burden?

However, when Bai Yuqi heard Ji Mo's words, she was secretly delighted and thought smugly," Didn't she say that there was no man who didn't like her? Wasn't Ji Mo showing concern for her?

Bai Yuqi had already caught her breath. Her watery eyes were filled with concern as she looked at Ji Mo. She slowly walked towards him, and without any hesitation, she held Ji Mo's swollen hand. She frowned and said earnestly,""Mr. Ji, why did you do such a stupid thing to hurt yourself? Don't you think it's not worth it to hurt yourself like this for a woman like that?”

Bai Yuqi didn't expect that her words would make Ji Mo feel even more embarrassed!

In other words, she, the patient on the third floor, had also seen his embarrassing incident just now?

Ji Mo's face instantly turned dark and cold. He stared at the woman who looked like Xi Zi and was so pitiful. He flung her cold hand away and said coldly,""What is that?"

For some reason, what he cared about the most was not the fact that another person had witnessed his embarrassing incident. Instead, he was more concerned about Bai Yuqi's contempt for Xiaoning.

Ji Mo, that woman despised you in every way possible and even made you lose face in front of your employees and love rivals. Why can't you tolerate others looking down on her? You must be hopeless!

When Bai Yuqi heard Ji Mo's cold question, she, who was weak, did not show any fear at all. Instead, she threw Ji Mo a pitiful look as if she was lamenting his misfortune and angry at his indomitable behavior. Then, she said in a clear and eloquent manner,"Do you think Mr. Ji wouldn't understand? She has a bad temper, her behavior is rude, and she is arrogant. Most importantly, you care so much about her, but she doesn't take it to heart at all! You actually want to protect such a heartless woman?”

Ji Mo's expression grew colder with every sentence Bai Yuqi said. By the time Bai Yuqi finished speaking, the aura Ji Mo emitted could already be used to make popsicles.

"Miss Bai, women who talk too much are very annoying. What do you think?”So what if that woman had many bad qualities? Was it her turn to gossip? No matter how bad she was, Ji Mo cared about her. Even if she was heartless and did not put him in her heart, he still had to protect her!

Hearing this, Bai Yuqi immediately revealed a hurt expression. Her eyes were misty as she choked on her tears and said,"Mr. Ji, I'm just concerned about you and feel that it's not worth it for you. Am I wrong?"

Ji Mo didn't say anything for a moment and looked at Bai Yuqi silently! She thought to herself, Yes, she was only concerned about me. What did she do wrong? However, wasn't this concern a little unreasonable? He wasn't familiar with her, right? However, this woman's expression was so real that it did not seem like she was acting.

"I don't need anyone else to care about my matters!" When Ji Mo said this, his cold expression had already eased up quite a bit. No matter what her purpose was for caring about him, it was still caring. There were not many people in this world who would really care about him. He should not hurt her.

"I'm sorry! Just take it that Yu Qi is meddling!" Bai Yuqi lowered her eyes sadly and turned around to walk into the hospital. Just as she was about to take a step forward, she turned around and whispered to Ji Mo,""Remember to treat Mr. Ji's hand!”

After she finished speaking, she didn't stay any longer and gave Ji Mo a disappointed and sorrowful back view. However, Ji Mo couldn't see that her delicate face was filled with gloomy displeasure and forbearance.

This man really didn't know what was good for him. She had already shown him goodwill, yet he still complained that she was meddling? This was the first time in more than a thousand years that she had been defeated!

Bai Yuqi tried her best to comfort herself. There was no rush. Haste makes waste! She would definitely find a way to make Ji Mo stay away from that woman called Qing Ning and come to her side.

She had seen it clearly from upstairs. That Qing Ning was definitely not a simple character. She actually knew magic. If she had not used her magic just now, she would not have been able to shake off Ji Mo's hand and kick him to the ground.

Although she did not know her identity, she was certain that this Qing Ning was a powerful person and she might not be her match. Therefore, she could not let Qing Ning stay by Ji Mo's side. Otherwise…her plan would not work at all.

That was why she had rushed down from upstairs to persuade Ji Mo to stay away from her after she had left. She wanted Ji Mo to know her shortcomings clearly and distance himself from her. In the end, he had cut ties with her.
