Su Xing's voice fell, and she looked at her brother, whose eyes were wide with disbelief, making it hard for her to bear.
With a sigh of resignation, she said, "You need to recover quickly. Find a way to get in touch with Du Meng and see what she really means. If there are still feelings involved, you better take responsibility, do you understand?!"
"Of course," he replied. "My woman and child must be taken care of." Su He’s sense of justice and responsibility was like something he could pull out of his pocket at any moment.
"But Sister, what about your own situation? He made it clear in front of Du Meng that he wants to marry you!"
Su He’s eyes flickered as he stretched his gaze towards the doorway, just catching sight of a black hem and wisps of smoke rising—this man hadn’t left yet.
"Mind your own business. I’ll find you a nurse soon. You can stay in a regular ward to recuperate. I’ll figure out the situation with Du Meng. Just remember not to act impulsively; otherwise, I won’t help you next time!"
"Alright, Sister! You’re so fierce! Next time, you’ll still take care of me!"
Su He had his twin sister firmly under his thumb.
Seeing his playful grin made Su Xing's head throb. She realized that her strong demeanor often gave her brother the impression that no matter what trouble he got into, she would always clean up after him, which had led to his current indecisiveness.
However, they were both children who had lost their father at a young age; becoming strong was their way of survival, protecting each other as best they could.
Casting a disdainful glance at Su He, she turned to leave when suddenly she heard him speak seriously behind her: "Sister, if he can truly protect you, I support him marrying you."
"Get lost. Mind your own business."
Su Xing rolled her eyes silently and left without looking back.
As she closed the door to the ward, the corridor was thick with tension and smoke that stung her throat.
Coughing slightly, Su Xing inhaled a mouthful of smoke instinctively and frowned as she coughed.
"I’ve arranged for a male nurse for you. This floor is for high-ranking officials; the medical staff will take good care of you. You can rest well."
"Thank you." When Su Xing's gaze met Shen Jingyu's, he awkwardly stubbed out his cigarette.
There was a moment of silence before Su Xing turned first towards the elevator.
What did this man really mean? Was he now like an adhesive plaster that wouldn’t come off?
With each step Su Xing took, Shen Jingyu followed closely beside her.
At the other end of the long corridor, in the room next to the elevator, as Su Xing passed by, a pair of resentful eyes shot out at her—impossible to ignore.
But in an instant, Luo Hao moved deliberately to block the view of the scene outside the door where the golden boy and jade girl stood side by side.
Han Ruoxi looked into Luo Hao's eyes, which seemed to be poisoned.
In just a short span of ten minutes, Han Ruoxi felt as if she were living in hell. When she had risked everything to win Shen Jingyu's affection, she emerged from her treatment only to find that not only did she not see the person she longed for, but she also heard news that drove her to madness.
At that moment, Erin had not even managed to exchange a word with the attending physician before Luo Hao's people took her away. Erin chased after Luo Hao, demanding to know why he allowed them to leave and what was happening with Ruo Xi.
Luo Hao replied with a half-smile, "You should have a good idea of Miss Han's condition. As for this expert, they have more important matters to attend to. Our Shen's brother-in-law is seriously injured!"
What did you say? Brother-in-law? Shen Xian already has another woman so soon?! Erin was astonished. Was Ruo Xi's commotion all for nothing?
At that moment, Han Ruoxi, just wheeled out and glistening with tears on the hospital bed, suddenly found an unknown strength within her. She jumped off the bed and rushed toward Luo Hao, grabbing his arms and demanding to know what he meant by his words.
Ignoring the nurse's attempts to stop her, she pushed through until she finally reached their location. Upon seeing Shen Jingyu, she staggered toward him like a fragile willow in the wind. Yet even then, she could not find a trace of pity in Shen Jingyu's eyes.
This change must have stemmed from the woman beside him! Luo Hao, what is that woman's name?! Han Ruoxi's voice was nearly frantic.
Luo Hao had no doubt that her voice could penetrate the elevator and reach Shen Jingyu and Su Xing's ears. After a brief hesitation, he casually replied, "Her name is Sister-in-law."
What followed was an even more furious roar as the medical tray on the bedside was lifted and smashed against the LCD screen at the foot of the bed.
Get out! Get out!
Luo Hao swayed his body to dodge the deadly attack from the medical scissors flying toward him. He composed himself and cast a calm glance at Han Ruoxi before stepping outside the door.
I want to know that woman's name! I will never let her go! Ah! Ah! Ah!
Yet jealousy can make one ugly. The hospital room door closed behind Luo Hao, but Erin's astonished voice and soothing words could still be heard from within.
Before her stood two piercing gazes that could shatter her innocent heart in an instant.
"Hello, Sister-in-law," Luo Hao's friendly greeting only intensified the coldness in Su Xing's eyes.
Shen Jingyu shot a look at Luo Hao that felt like a blade, holding it until the elevator doors closed tightly.
"Is the person next to you someone who enjoys creating trouble? Do they have to make Han Daying resent me for it to be satisfying?"
Establishing an enemy is something I, Su Xing, am not afraid of. Do we really have to keep entangling ourselves together?
As the elevator doors shut, Su Xing couldn't help but question Shen Jingyu.
Seeing her puffed-up expression, Shen Jingyu felt a sense of satisfaction in his heart. Finally, he was back by her side, able to be so close to her, even if she currently despised him.
"Yes. You and I are destined to be entangled together for this lifetime."
Shen Jingyu's gaze was deep and compelling as he moved closer to Su Xing, his presence impossible to resist. In the blink of an eye, Su Xing found herself backed into the corner of the elevator. Shen Jingyu raised his arms, enclosing her within his embrace.
"Star, I missed you. I'm back, and I want to marry you."
With each word he spoke, he drew nearer to her.
The angle at which he leaned brought their lips almost together. The crisp scent of sandalwood that belonged to him mingled with the pheromones he intentionally released, invading Su Xing's senses and surging into her mind.
Their noses brushed against each other, their lips merely an inch apart. A current seemed to flow through Su Xing's limbs; her mind went blank for a moment as if he were the only thing left in her world!
Ding! The sound of the elevator doors opening broke through.
A rush of fresh air flowed in, finally pulling Su Xing back to reality.
With a sudden push against the imposing man before her, Su Xing stumbled out of the elevator.
She muttered under her breath as if still in a daze: "This man has no regard for women when he's being reckless! He’s definitely gone bad!"
