The hallway was quiet, and Shen Zhuo's voice was a little dull.

Ruan Liqing didn't refuse, and got up after thinking about it.

The south city is near the north, and it is dark early in winter, even if it is only six o'clock now, it is already pitch black.

Ruan Liqing glanced at Shen Zhuo, turned around and left without saying a word.

It's just that the moment she turned around, she couldn't see the well-hidden complex emotions on Shen Zhuo's raised face.

Ruan Liqing got out of the hospital, but she didn't leave directly, she went to a nearby restaurant, went to order dinner, and then returned to the hospital.

At the end of the year, there were few people in the hospital, and Ruan Liqing stood at the end of the corridor, looking at Shen Zhuo at a glance.

He remained in the same position she had left, his eyes closed, motionless.

Ruan Liqing stepped over and put the things in his hand beside him: "I bought some dinner."

Shen Zhuo's eyelashes trembled, and then he opened his eyes and looked at Ruan Liqing, his voice was a little hoarse: "Why haven't you left yet?"

"I'll leave right away." Ruan Li paused, "It's snowing again."

Shen Zhuo hummed and closed his eyes again.

He had been in the hospital all night last night, and he must have been a little tired from a day and a night's worry.

Ruan Liqing glanced at the door of the ICU, was silent for half a minute, and then sat down next to him, "Is there any time to visit today?"

The ICU visiting hours are all set and are only half an hour a day.

"Tomorrow morning."

"Then it's useless for you to sit here all night tonight." Ruan Liqing's voice was cold, she opened the lunch box with her hands, and then stuffed it into Shen Zhuo's hand: "You don't need to be reminded if you have a stomach problem, or do you want you to lie in it directly when the time comes, so that you can stay by the old man's side every inch?"

The meals are packaged haphazardly and all have a light taste.

However, the food next to the hospital didn't taste very good, and Shen Zhuo didn't move again after eating a few bites.

Ruan Liqing collected his things and was about to go home, but Shen Zhuo only remembered, he asked Ruan Liqing, "Have you had dinner?"

"I'll eat again when I go back." Ruan Liqing's face was calm.

Shen Zhuo hummed, "I'll send you."

This time Ruan Liqing did not refuse, she took the lead out of the gate of the hospital, the snow outside was heavy again, the snow during the day had not melted, and now it was densely paved.

This is probably one of the rare times in a long time that Ruan Liqing did not speak to Shen Zhuo in any mocking tone.

She looked at the falling snow and said in a calm tone, "I'll take a taxi back by myself, you...... I also take a break when it's about the same time, the chairman is old, and there are some things that I can't do."

Shen Zhuo didn't speak for a long time.

It wasn't until Ruan Liqing stretched out his hand to stop the rental that he suddenly grabbed her wrist, and his voice was deep: "Ruan Liqing, let me hug it."

Originally, I wanted to refuse, but I don't know why, Ruan Liqing finally responded: "Okay."

Almost in the next second, she was pulled directly into Shen Zhuo's arms.

It should obviously be a warm embrace, but at this time, it was soaked in cold, and the moment Ruan Liqing crashed into it, the tip of his nose just touched his hard chest.

At that moment, the pain made her nose sore.

Shen Zhuo's forehead was against her neck socket, he was tall himself, and now he hugged in such a posture, like a homeless large dog, finally found the dependence of his master.

Ruan Liqing let him hold her, and she didn't say anything, but quietly looked at the street lamp opposite. :

However, Shen Zhuo let go of her by himself, he reached out and swept off a few snowflakes above her head, and said softly, "Go back and be careful."

When Ruan Liqing arrived home, Su Yan was sitting cross-legged in the living room watching Korean dramas, with some fried chicken and beer in front of her.

Hearing Ruan Liqing come back, she looked at her with a piece of fried chicken in her mouth, "Do you want to eat some?"

Ruan Liqing said, "I'm not at home, so you can't eat something good?"

"On a snowy day, fried chicken and beer are standard, do you understand?"

Ruan Liqing watched the ancient Korean drama on TV, and she was straight

Then she also sat down next to Su Yan, she casually opened a can of beer, touched the wine bottle that Su Yan put on the table, and said shallowly: "Happy New Year."

Su Yan smiled, "It's not the New Year yet."

"Tomorrow's Chinese New Year's Eve is also fast." Ruan Liqing said.

Su Yan smiled and continued, "Can you have a good year this year?"

And it turned out that the year was really not good.

When Ruan Liqing slept until midnight, she suddenly woke up with her mobile phone.

She looked at the time, and at two o'clock in the morning, the phone was also called by Shen Zhuo.

Ruan Liqing's eyebrows furrowed, and she could probably guess what was going on.

She answered the phone, but she didn't hear Shen Zhuo speak there, only a slight sound of breathing.

Ruan Liqing put on her coat and walked to the window.

It is already the thirtieth year of the Chinese New Year's Eve, even if it is snowing heavily, there are many lights on, and it is very festive to watch the family reunion.

Ruan Liqing arrived at the hospital where he went early in the morning, Secretary Han also arrived, and Shen Zhuo was working with him.

She deliberately changed into a black suit and went straight over, "Is there anything I can help with?"

Shen Mingan has been in Nancheng for many years and has a huge network, so it is not easy to deal with the aftermath.

Secretary Han didn't ask much why Ruan Liqing was here, he handed a document in his hand to Ruan Liqing: "The chairman left suddenly, and many things haven't been dealt with yet, if Mr. Ruan is willing to help, it would be great."

It is said that the old man is sad for the winter, and when Shen Mingan was sent to the hospital, his condition was not very good.

It's just that I was rescued at that time, but after all, I was old and couldn't get through some problems, so I left directly in the early hours of last night.

Shen Zhuo was the last time he saw him, but only the two of them knew what he said.

However, Ruan Liqing was not interested in these things, she helped contact the people on the list, and only then told Mo Lan and Ruan Yuancheng about it.

After Ruan Yuancheng found out, he didn't speak for a long time.

According to his personal feelings, what Shen Ming'an did to Ruan Liqing is not good, but if you look at morality, Shen Ming'an is also the benefactor of the Ruan family.

In the end, Ruan Yuancheng could only sigh and instruct Ruan Liqing: "Forget it, after understanding this, the relationship between the two of us will be completely cleared."

On Chinese New Year's Eve this year, the news of Old Man Shen's death was quickly announced, and even reporters from several commercial newspapers came to interview.

And Ruan Liqing has been helping Shen Zhuo with the funeral.

Things happened too hastily, everyone was flustered, and Shen Zhuo was even more visibly emaciated.

After sending away another group of people who came to mourn, Ruan Liqing looked at Shen Zhuo and wrinkled his eyebrows, looking obviously uncomfortable.

She called Lin Jie, who had just come in from outside, to help her arrange the employees of the Shen Group, and she poured a cup of hot water for Shen Zhuo, she eased down before saying, "I'll arrange it here, you go to rest."

Shen Zhuo hadn't closed his eyes for three or four days, and his face was ugly.

But he still didn't answer the hot water handed by Ruan Liqing, but said in a hoarse voice, "No."
