"Speak." Bao Shaojin’s eyes gradually turned cold. Assistant Lin instantly felt the temperature in the ward drop, as a chilling cold spread from his feet to his entire body. Assistant Lin nodded and stepped forward respectfully, "The old madam said that the Lin Family sent someone over to visit the patient." The Lin Family, Assistant Lin immediately thought of Lin Yue, one of Mr. Bao’s friends. However, having been by Mr. Bao’s side for so many years, Assistant Lin knew that the old madam’s words would not be so simple. "When?" Bao Shaojin’s eyes were deep, as if brewing something within them. "Should be arriving soon." Assistant Lin spoke directly, "The old madam’s intention is to inform you in advance, lest you be inattentive to the guest." Inattentive? Do they even deserve it? Assistant Lin, noticing the other’s somber and firm expression, stood anxiously in place. At this moment, a knock sounded at the door. Bao Shaojin glanced at Assistant Lin, who immediately understood and walked towards the door. If he guessed correctly, the visitor might just be the person the old madam mentioned. When Assistant Lin opened the door and saw the elderly man standing in front, he froze for a moment, "Housekeeper Liu." Housekeeper Liu spoke in a gentle tone, "Assistant Lin." At this moment, Assistant Lin noticed a fashionably dressed woman standing behind Housekeeper Liu, carrying a delicate handbag at her wrist. When she saw Assistant Lin, she gave a gentle smile but did not speak. "Mr. Bao is inside, please come in!" Assistant Lin maintained a calm demeanor. Housekeeper Liu then stepped behind the woman, bowing slightly, "Miss Lin, please!" The woman lifted her head and walked towards the ward without looking around, wearing a delicate smile on her face. Housekeeper Liu and Assistant Lin followed closely behind. As the woman entered the ward, she saw a hospital bed centrally placed. The man sat upright on it, with a tablet in front of him. Even though one of his hands was receiving an infusion, it did not hinder his operation of the tablet with the other hand. As she walked closer, she noticed that the man never intended to lift his gaze. He was intently focused on the tablet, she began to survey his strong build, his facial features were sharply and decisively defined. To this day, she had never seen a man with his charm. Although they were not far apart, the kingly aura emanating from him was intensely oppressive from the bottom of her heart. She had always been attracted to such wildly charismatic men. Previously at a banquet, she had seen him once from afar. However, Bao Shaojin was too aloof, and Lin Yue had privately warned her more than once not to provoke Bao Shaojin, she heeded Lin Yue’s advice in the end. Unexpectedly, after a few years, they would once again have a connection. "Second Young Master, this is Miss Lin from the Lin Family, Lin Lin. You have met before." Housekeeper Liu introduced as he approached the bedside, holding some items, ready to speak. The man on the bed paused his typing on the tablet, his eyelids lifted slightly, and he glanced at the woman standing beside him, "No, I don’t know her." Bao Shaojin’s blunt words left everyone present feeling a touch of awkwardness. Lin Lin’s shapely figure and elegant face glowed with bright eyes and a sharp chin, her lips were full and red. Originally smiling warmly, her expression turned slightly embarrassed upon hearing the man’s voice. "Ahem." Housekeeper Liu cleared his throat to ease the tense atmosphere, then said, "Eldest Young Master, Miss Lin meant well to see you, she even prepared some tonics especially for you." Housekeeper Liu lifted the items in his hand, attempting to draw his attention. "I acknowledge Miss Lin’s kind intention, but please take these things back." Bao Shaojin’s dark as ink eyes turned to the woman. It was well-known to Lin Lin that Bao Shaojin was known for being indifferent and distant, yet experiencing it firsthand still left her feeling somewhat disappointed. After all, she had grown up under the care and protection of her family and had never been treated so coldly. "Eldest Young Master, Miss Lin is concerned for you." Housekeeper Liu tried to speak on her behalf. Bao Shaojin’s clear and crisp voice spread through the room, causing everyone to shiver slightly. Since the onset of winter, T City had been enveloped in continuous cold and rainy weather, with howling winds from yesterday until now, showing no signs of stopping. The outside was chilling, and the atmosphere inside the ward felt similarly oppressive. Ever since Lin Lin entered the room, the man hadn’t given her a chance to speak. After standing for a long time, her feet felt a bit sore, she mustered up her courage, her eyes fixedly looking toward the man, "Brother Bao, I already bought them, please accept these items." Fınd the newest release on 𝔫𝔬𝔳𝔢𝔩⚫𝔣𝔦𝔯𝔢⚫𝔫𝔢𝔱 Brother Bao? Bao Shaojin did not expect the unfamiliar woman before him to be so presumptuous. Though he had met numerous socialites and beauties before, only a few left an impression, and she wasn’t among them. An Yin, holding a plate of fruit carefully, walked out just in time to hear the woman’s gentle voice. The young girl seemed to be in her prime, with eyes sparkling with a lively clarity and cheekbones flushed like peach blossoms, her beauty like blooming lotus, her demeanor charming and enchanting, and her slender waist like a willow making her appear as radiant as a fairy. Housekeeper Liu and Lin Lin both cast their gaze toward the young girl. Lin Lin felt a ringing alarm in her heart, for this was an unfamiliar woman in Bao Shaojin’s ward. As she sized up the other, filled with wariness; before coming, the old madam’s assurance echoed in her ears, the old madam had candidly expressed: If she could capture Bao Shaojin’s heart, then she could claim the position of Young Madam of the Bao Family. For some reason, seeing the timid young girl before her, she felt an intense sense of crisis. Compared to Lin Lin’s confusion, Housekeeper Liu appeared much more composed, even though it was the first time seeing the young girl, it felt as if he had seen her before, and her sudden appearance in the Eldest Young Master’s ward didn’t surprise him. The young girl’s eyes were clear, possessing an aura akin to the tranquility of a chrysanthemum. "An Yin, come over here." Bao Shaojin noticed the young girl standing foolishly in the corner, her eyes showing a trace of bewilderment, feeling a tug in his heart. An Yin lifted her eyes to look at the several strangers in the room, she managed a strained smile at everyone, then cheerfully hurried toward Bao Shaojin, finally stopping at the soft chair beside his bed. She carefully balanced the fruit to avoid any from falling from the plate. "Bao Shaojin, who are they?" An Yin placed the fruit plate on the small wooden table beside her, slightly bending down, speaking in a soft voice. She thought her voice was low, yet everyone present heard it clearly. She actually addressed him directly by name? Liu and Lin Lin were both inwardly startled. Especially Housekeeper Liu, if earlier when seeing the young girl, he had a prior intuition, now his feelings were nothing short of tumultuous. Since childhood, the Eldest Young Master had practiced self-discipline and propriety, handling matters steadily, while keeping a distance from women. However, the moment the young girl appeared, his gaze never shifted away from her.
