“You’re the one who’s sick here, so you’re the one who’s carrying all the viruses! Not me!”
“Whatever. Just don’t sit here.” The woman said impatiently.
“Alright, I’ll just go over there.”
Ouyang Qi finally gave in and went over to the chair. He sat down and gazed at Ning Ran intently as if
he was admiring a work of art that he treasured with his whole heart.
The patient moved uneasily under his gaze and stole a look at him. “Why are you looking at me like a
pervert?”
Ouyang Qi straightened up and gasped in disbelief. “A pervert? That’s an insult for someone who
comes from a well-to-do family!”
Ning Ran scoffed and rolled her eyes. “But it’s your dad who is rich, not you.”
Ouyang Qi beat his chest and retaliated profusely. “My dad’s money is my money. Although he’s
really strict with my spending now, I will still inherit everything he has when he’s gone.”
Ning Ran smirked and said, “Wow, did you just wish your dad dead?”
“Don’t put words in my mouth. I’m not a saint, but I’m not that bad either. I’ve never once wished my
dad dies earlier so I could inherit his wealth.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtOuyang Qi’s tone suddenly became serious. It turned out that there were also things he cared about,
like what people thought about him.
Looking at him all agitated, Ning Ran smiled and asked, “Then why did you say you’d inherit what he has if he dies?”
Ouyang Qi stood up at last and went towards her. “I finally put a smile on your face.”
But Ning Ran shook her index finger at him and he went back to his seat quietly.
“How did you know I’m at the hospital?” She asked, changing the topic.
“How would I not know you were rushed to the hospital when you were at the reality show? I’m updated on
everything about you.”
Ning Ran looked at him carefully and asked again, “I mean, how do you know about it?”
“Someone told me, of course. It’s not like I would consult a fortune teller.” Ouyang Qi replied accordingly without
revealing who gave him the news.
“So, who is this someone? It’s such a creepy coincidence.” Ning Ran pried.
Ouyang Qi smiled slyly. “It is a secret.”
“Alright, get out.” Ning Ran gestured to lie down and rest.
“Hey, you can’t do that to me!” The man stomped his foot.
“What’s the point of staying here if you’re not gonna tell me anything?” Ning Ran puffed her cheeks and grumbled.
“You can’t just throw a tantrum and force me to spill my secret! That’s unfair.” He growled.
“Are you not leaving? I’ll call for the nurse then.” Ning Ran reached for the call button.
“Wait. You can’t be so unreasonable. I’m here to check on you because I’m worried. And you’re chasing me out
instead.” He mumbled in an upset tone.
“I asked you a question but you refused to answer, so what’s the point of talking to you?” Ning Ran glared at him
angrily.
“I’ll answer you if I can, but there are things that I’m not supposed to say!” The helpless man replied.
“It’s either you tell me or you leave. And don’t ever come to see me again if you leave. We’re not friends
anymore.” Ning Ran gave him the ultimatum.
Ouyang Qi’s eyes glimmered in excitement. “Does that mean we’re friends if I tell you?”
Ning Ran rolled her eyes and thought about the matter. “Well, probably. It depends.”
“I can only tell you it’s someone from the production team. That’s it, else the person might get
kicked out of the team.” Ouyang Qi answered honestly.
“I thought everyone from the production team signed a non-disclosure agreement?” Ning Ran asked
curiously.
“People can do anything for money, and I have lots of it. That’s why I always get what I want.” He

But Ning Ran still felt he was hiding something.
“Then how did you know I was filming the show?” She queried.
“Well, it’s the same thing. I’m able to get any information I want as long as I’m willing to pay a huge
amount of money.” Ouyang Qi said, shrugging his shoulder.
Ning Ran felt like they were going in a circle and she would never be able to get anything substantial
out of him.
“Fine, I’m done questioning you. You may leave now.” The patient said curtly and pulled up her
blanket.
“What’s wrong? I answered all your questions. We’re supposed to be friends now. You can’t renege
on your promise just like that.” Ouyang Qi whined.
“You didn’t even give me a name. How is that even considered a satisfactory answer? I don’t think
you’re even sincere about becoming friends with me. Let’s stop wasting each other’s time.” Ning Ran
said calmly as she pointed towards the door.
“I guess beautiful women are all heartless. You can’t go back on your word like that. No one at home
dares to treat me like this. I don’t care. I’m not leaving.” Ouyang Qi sulked as he crossed his arms
before his chest.
