A tear rolled down his cheek and landed on the back of Song Mai's hand with a "plop".

Song Mai seemed to hear someone calling her, asking her to wake up, and when she listened carefully, the voice was very familiar, carrying with it endless sorrow and sadness.

Who is calling her?

It seems to be Chu Xing.

Thinking of this name, she heard his faint voice in her ears. Song Mai couldn't hear clearly what he was saying, but she could hear some of it. Her heart ached slightly.

She didn't want to wake up. Such a life made her feel hopeless. Song Mai thought it would be better to take advantage of this accident to disappear from the world, but she had two people she was reluctant to leave.

One is Lin Ran, her best friend and the first person who cared about her.

The second one is Chu Xing, her contract husband, but he has been protecting her, caring for her and helping her all this time. The two of them have unknowingly experienced many things together.

It would be a lie to say that she had no feelings for him. It was just because of the agreement and contract between them that she had to force herself to suppress such feelings deep in her heart, try to keep a distance from him, and pretend that she had never been attracted to him.

But at this moment, she heard Chu Xing's story with her own ears, which made her feel moved and reluctant at the same time.

Chu Xing gently stroked the back of her hand and wiped away the crystal tear.

"Song Mai, can we be together when you wake up?"

As soon as these words rang out, Song Mai was shocked, and an indescribable feeling seemed to grow in her heart, making her feel a little more sober, and instantly filled with joy.

It turns out that he likes her too.

The last time he was intimate with her, she had doubts in her mind. If he did that to her, then what did he think of her?

Is she a wife who needs to fulfill this obligation? Or is she a bed partner who meets her physiological needs?

She felt it must be the latter, so her anger was also mixed with these factors.

Even though she was not that pretty, not that outstanding, and no longer young, she didn't want him to treat her as a woman who could be treated however he wanted.

But later he apologized and promised that it wouldn't happen again, so Song Mai didn't keep harping on the matter.

At least he saved her many times, and they were only in a contractual relationship. When the contract expired in a few months, they would be strangers again. Why should she keep thinking about it?

Besides, at least he is quite handsome, so I am not at a disadvantage.

Now after hearing what he said, she realized that she had misunderstood him. It turned out that he also liked her.

The dark clouds hanging over her heart seemed to be blown away by the wind, and a ray of sunshine sprinkled through the haze, warming her heart.

Chu Xing wanted to continue speaking, but the nurse's urging voice had already sounded.

"Mr. Chu, it's time to come out."

He glanced at the unresponsive woman on the hospital bed, a trace of sadness flashing across his eyes.

He put the woman's hand back into the quilt and was about to get up and leave, but when his hand left the woman's wrist, he clearly felt her fingers move.

The gloom in the man's eyes instantly dissipated, and a flash of light exploded.

He turned his head suddenly and saw the woman was still sleeping, as if everything that had just happened was just an illusion.

"Song Mai?"

He called her in a trembling voice, but the woman still did not respond.

When the nurse saw that he still hadn't come out, she couldn't help but urge him again.

"Mr. Chu, it's out of time."

He didn't even turn his head: "She's awake! Call Dr. Jiang over!"

Hearing this, the nurse hurried to Jiang Jibai's office.

The people in the hospital didn't know Chu Xing's identity. They only knew that he was a friend of Dr. Jiang, and that he had called Dr. Jiang here with just one phone call. His identity must be extraordinary, so they all respected him.

After a while, Jiang Jibai came hurriedly from the other direction of the corridor, his steps were hurried.

"are you awake?"

Chu Xing stepped aside and said, "Her hand moved just now."

Jiang Jibai quickly examined Song Mai and stood up.

"how?"

"Let's go out first."

Chu Xing felt somewhat anxious and quickly followed Jiang Jibai out of the intensive care unit.

"I just checked her out. Her physical condition is indeed much better than before. Even her heartbeat is stronger. I think she has survived. It won't be long before she wakes up completely."

Chu Xing felt relieved when he heard what he said in person.

The man, who usually never showed his emotions, said "that's good" twice and then walked away with big strides.

Jiang Jibai looked at his bratty appearance and didn't know whether to laugh or cry:

"Where are you going?"

"Something happened."

"I haven't had dinner yet. Shall we eat together later?"

"it is good."

The man walked very quickly and disappeared in a short while.

Jiang Jibai shook his head helplessly. Fortunately, there was finally hope in this matter. Chu Xing could put his mind at ease and he was also relieved.

Chu Xing had been in the hospital these days, so he didn't ask the driver to come. If he called the driver over at this moment, he would have to wait for a long time. So Chu Xing simply didn't notify the driver, but took a taxi at the hospital gate to go to the mobile phone store.

As soon as he entered the store, the clerk recognized him and asked, "Are you here to pick up your phone, sir?"

"Yes."

The clerk took him to the after-sales service counter, and the guy in charge of after-sales immediately took out a reassembled mobile phone and placed it on the counter.

"It has been repaired as you requested."

"Okay, thank you."

The man paid the money, took his phone and left.

The female clerk leaned on the counter and smacked her lips in regret: "What a good man, it's a pity that his wife met with an accident, otherwise they must have been very happy together, it's really fate!"

After leaving the mobile phone store, Chu Xing did not return to the hospital immediately, but went to a pastry shop.

Song Mai likes the flower cakes in this pastry shop very much. During the three days she was there, she bought some almost every day to bring back to the hotel. She also said that when she leaves, she will buy a big bag and send it back to Lin Ran to try.

She was finally waking up, and Chu Xing wished he could give her the best things in the world.

That night, Chu Xing finally had a good meal.

These days he was like a robot, not feeling hungry or tired.

Now that she was finally waking up, Chu Xing felt extremely weak.

He was about to hang up the phone with Special Assistant Lu after finishing his work, when Special Assistant Lu asked:

"So when are you planning to come back? I'll book your ticket in advance."

"No rush, it hasn't been decided yet. I'll tell you when I need it."

"it is good."

After hanging up the phone, Special Assistant Lu looked at the empty CEO's office and couldn't help muttering:

"If you don't even care about your most important job, what is this if not true love?"
