Bai Xi stepped forward and hugged her mother to comfort her, "Mom, it's okay now."
She wasn't good at comforting people; this was the simplest way she knew.
Han Mo stood quietly and watched until Bai Xi released Lin Yun.
He then walked forward, smiled slightly, took out the medicine, and placed it on the table. "Give this to him after he wakes up. Three times a day for a week. It will help stabilize his emotions, regulate his mood, and aid in his brain's complete recovery."
Lin Yun's emotions had also calmed down. She looked at Han Mo, her eyes still filled with bright gratitude. She thought for a moment, then glanced at Bai Xi standing beside her. "Xi'er, you and Mo'er should go out first. I want to stay here with Han'er alone."
Bai Xi didn't think much of it and nodded, leading Han Mo to the living room.
In the living room, Bai Xi directly took out a bank card and handed it to Han Mo. "This is for you."
Han Mo raised an eyebrow slightly, not reaching out, and said calmly, "The eldest miss has already given me one before."
Seeing this, Bai Xi smiled. "These two cards are different. The previous card was for my brother's treatment. That card is linked to my name, and I can investigate every transaction you make under my name. This one, however, is your remuneration; it's yours."
The card given to Han Mo earlier was like a supplementary card. During Shen Mingxun's investigation of Han Mo, that card was also under Shen Mingxun's control. Every expense Han Mo made was for the hospital and he hadn't spent a single cent of his own.
Therefore, this time she was giving him money directly, which was considered remuneration.
Han Mo looked at the card in Bai Xi's hand and smiled slightly, not accepting it. "Don't I remember what I asked for yesterday from the eldest miss?"
Bai Xi was slightly taken aback, remembering last night's conversation, and her expression turned odd. "I said I agreed, but... is it really necessary to call me 'dry sister'?"
Hearing this, Han Mo suddenly took a step forward, closing the distance between them. They were so close that Bai Xi could smell his scent.
At the hospital, Han Mo always smelled of antiseptic, but now that he no longer worked at the hospital and had shed his white coat, he seemed to have a faint fragrance.
The scent was unique, somewhat like floral, yet with a hint of sweetness, close to the scent of fruit.
As Bai Xi was taking in the aroma, Han Mo leaned in and kissed her cheek. Bai Xi's eyes widened involuntarily.
The kiss was light and soft, like a feather, drifting onto her cheek and then disappearing.
She looked up at Han Mo, and in his light-colored eyes, there was an indescribable tenderness. He said, "I want to stand by your side, not as a brother, but as your partner."
Bai Xi's heart skipped a beat, as if a pebble had fallen into a calm lake, disappearing quickly. Yet, the ripples on the water served as a reminder of the stone's existence.
Was this... a confession?
Thinking of this, she looked at Han Mo, her eyes questioning, "Are you serious?"
Han Mo's eyes beneath his glasses held an indescribable tenderness. "I don't like to joke."
Bai Xi looked at his expression and could feel his sincerity.
In fact, through their interactions over the past while, she had vaguely sensed that Han Mo treated her differently from others, and she felt the same way.
For instance, the last time Sun Lili tried to make a move on Han Mo, she didn't understand why she had been so angry.
And today, under normal circumstances, it wasn't easy for a man to get close to her.
Yet today, she hadn't put up any defenses, which proved that she didn't reject Han Mo in her heart.
Indeed, Han Mo was good-looking, principled, and highly skilled in medicine. He also got along very well with her mother and brother. If she needed someone for companionship, he was certainly a very suitable candidate.
However... not rejecting him didn't mean she liked him, or even had feelings for him. To agree so casually would be truly irresponsible.
She had lectured Tong Yao before; how could she be someone who inexplicably toyed with others?
"I'm sorry, I currently..."
Han Mo directly interrupted Bai Xi. "Xi'er, you don't need to reject me now. What I want is to stay by your side, not to get your response. Now isn't important; what I want is the future, or even forever."
Bai Xi looked up, meeting those beautiful eyes, and was momentarily lost in them.
Looking at Han Mo so closely, she found him even more handsome.
With a face like this, a person like this, perhaps trying... wouldn't be so bad?
Looking at Han Mo at such close range, the scene that appeared in her KTV dream flashed back into her mind.
Were those thin lips, just like in the dream... capable of becoming passionate and lingering...
Just then, a discordant voice suddenly broke through the air, "Eldest Miss..."
Following that, the living room door was opened, and Aunt Feng walked in with a displeased expression. However, she saw Bai Xi and Han Mo standing so close, and her expression suddenly improved, even carrying a hint of playful teasing.
Bai Xi felt inexplicably embarrassed about her recent thoughts and subconsciously took a step back, widening the distance between herself and Han Mo. "Aunt Feng, what happened?"
Aunt Feng then reacted and looked at Han Mo. "Eldest Miss, Zhou Wen is here and wants to see you."
Bai Xi frowned.
What did Zhou Wen want?
There were many people with love-struck brains among women, but few among men. Zhou Wen was one such example. He was the only one who couldn't see through Bai Lian's extremely clumsy acting.
Unfortunately, she wasn't interested.
"Just chase him away."
Aunt Feng looked at Han Mo and hesitated before speaking, "Eldest Miss, Mr. Zhou seems to be here to deliver a gift today. He also said... if you don't come out, he will wait outside the villa and won't leave."
A person needs face; a tree needs bark.
A tree without bark will surely die; a person without shame is invincible in the world!
If she weren't a person of strong principles, she would have had her subordinates get rid of him.
Bai Xi thought carefully and still walked out of the villa.
Outside the villa, Zhou Wen's Maserati was parked in the center of the driveway. He was dressed in a sharp suit, appearing tall and handsome.
Zhou Wen was actually good-looking, even surpassing Shen Cheng in terms of appearance. However, he lacked Shen Cheng's aura and demeanor, which was why so many girls liked him during school.
And today, he was clearly dressed up and looked much better than usual.
In his arms, he held a large bouquet of flowers, which were in full bloom in the sunlight, exceptionally vibrant.
Seeing Bai Xi come out, Zhou Wen immediately stepped forward. A happy smile adorned his good-looking face. "Xi'er, I knew you would come out to see me."
