Chapter 64: The more you try to hide, the more obvious it becomes

-

weekend.

Chen Mo and Chen Jiabai came to visit her together. Before they arrived, they didn't mention that there would be others with them, so they were a little surprised when they saw Li Xiayi.

I've only met her once. She's very pretty, the sweet and innocent type.

But the magnetic field between people is a strange thing. She just didn't like this person, just like Yu Ning didn't like her. There was no reason or explanation needed.

All three of them carried fruit. It had been a long time since they last met. Chen Jiabai hadn't changed much; she seemed to be doing well after the breakup. She didn't believe that a young master from this social class would be so dramatic about a breakup, but seeing him today proved her right.

Lee Hi: Why are you all alone in the ward? Where are your family members? Didn't they come to take care of you?

"I'm going to work now," she said briefly. Except for the first week when she needed someone to accompany her, all she needed to do after that was bring her food.

Li Xiayi observed her intently, sitting on the opposite sofa, her gaze sweeping from her face to her neck, collarbone, T-shirt, thighs, knees...

I noticed several red hickeys on her neck, clearly left by a boy during their time in bed.

She frowned and stared at it for a while, thinking that she and Chen Jiabai had already broken up, and it didn't seem like they had gotten back together, so it must have been done by another guy...

Li Xiayi remembered that Shen Yueze had an identical black short-sleeved shirt; it was loose-fitting and covered her bottom...

Chen Mo: "I went back to my mom's a few days ago and haven't been here since. It must have hurt a lot when you fell. You look like you've lost weight."

Chen Jiabai and Chen Mo stood around the bed, looking her over. She was sitting with her right leg raised, supported by a pillow, holding a remote control in her hand. She had no makeup on, her black hair was loose, and she was wearing a simple T-shirt and skirt. There were snacks on the small table in front of her.

"Have I lost weight? No, I can't move around much. I still need to use crutches and sit in a wheelchair. I think I've actually gained weight. I eat three meals a day very regularly."

Chen Mo looked around the private hospital room. "This hospital must be very expensive, right? How much does it cost to stay for a day?"

"I don't know."

"Do you have enough money for medical expenses? If not, let me know. We need to use the best treatment plan."

"The production team paid part of it."

After the transfer, it was Shen Yueze who paid for it. She didn't ask, but he wouldn't care about such a small amount of money. After all, his greatest strength was that he was rich and generous.

Chen Jiabai wanted to say something, but seeing her indifferent attitude and the fact that she barely looked at him, he hesitated several times before finally saying, "You're not going to the talent show? Are you still going to be in the entertainment industry?"

"Let's take it one step at a time."

She unlocked her phone and sent a message to Shen Yueze: "Don't come at noon today. Chen Jiabai and Chen Mo are here to see me."

He replied quickly, "If I don't go, what will you eat?"

Just grab something from the cafeteria downstairs.

When Wen Yining saw that he wasn't replying, she assumed that he had agreed, since she had initially discussed not letting Chen Jiabai know about this.

Less than five minutes later, I received another message.

[When we get downstairs, let him get lost.]

“…..…”

[Chen Mo is here too, how can I send her away? Oh right, Li Xiayi is here too.]

Wen Yining glanced at the time anxiously; it was past eleven. Shen Yueze usually arrived at the ward around eleven-thirty, and wouldn't arrive later than midnight.

We must not let those two run into each other.

...

He urged her, "I just need to rest now, there's nothing seriously wrong. My sister comes to keep me company every night, and my brother comes during the day too."

Chen Mo suggested, "How about I stay here today so your sister can rest too? I don't have anything to do back home, really."

“My sister has experience with this, so we don’t need to. We’ll go out and play again when I’m better.”

Chen Mo already knew the inside story, but Chen Jiabai was too close to remind her.

When Shen Yueze came in, he was carrying a rice bucket. He glanced at Chen Jiabai with a nonchalant expression and walked over slowly.

Chen Jiabai was quite surprised to run into him here. "Aze, what are you doing here...?"

Then I noticed what he was carrying: a thermos in his right hand and a bag of clothes in his left, it was hard to tell if they were men's or women's, and the sleeves of the clothes were sticking out.

This is clearly not something someone visiting a patient for the first time should take.

Seeing that he was being stared at so intently by the three people in the room, yet he remained calm and nonchalant as if nothing had happened, he spoke to her like an old married couple, saying, "I made the corn and pork rib soup with a different recipe."

She placed them one by one on the table, and another bag contained her change of clothes.

Then, he sat down as if he were the master of the house, his movements languid and relaxed, his expression indifferent, without any intention of explaining.

Wen Yining noticed that Chen Jiabai's expression was inexplicably puzzled, changing repeatedly.

Feeling extremely uncomfortable, embarrassed, and nervous, I couldn't help but try to cover it up, saying, "My brother asked him to bring it for me."

Chen Jiabai wasn't stupid; even if he was, he could sense something was wrong. "When did you guys become so close? I don't remember you meeting more than a few times?"

On the few occasions that happened, it was all through him.

Under his watchful eye, the two of them exchanged no more than ten sentences.

Wen Yining's heart was in her throat. Even though they had broken up, she still couldn't help but have the uncontrollable feeling of being caught in bed with someone else...

There was no time to cover up the hickeys all over her body; they were all left by Shen Yueze a couple of days ago.

The more thrilling the affair, the more chaotic the confrontation will be...

She said with a dry throat, "Shen Yueze knows my second brother. My second brother didn't have time to come see me, so I asked him to bring me some food."

Shen Yueze calmly unscrewed the bottle cap, slowly drank the water, glanced at her, and neither refuted nor explained.

Chen Mo's mind raced. She looked at her friend with concern, wanting to say something to help her out of the awkward situation.

They couldn't sit still any longer. They hadn't expected these three to bump into each other, but Shen Yueze, that playboy, was probably doing it on purpose.

“I also messaged Shen Yueze because I couldn’t come over a few days ago. I thought he was the only one who still had some connection with Ningning, so I asked him to help me transfer to another hospital. But now it’s impossible to get an appointment at a big hospital. You remember, my mom had a relative who wanted to come for treatment, and she asked my dad to use his connections to get an appointment.”

"Besides, you two have already broken up, so I can't contact you anymore."

Chen Jiabai nodded. He knew that Chen Mo and Wen Yining had a good relationship and had been friends for many years. They were even willing to lend each other money without hesitation.

That explanation is also reasonable.

He said to Wen Yining, "Although we've broken up, we're not completely estranged. We can still be friends. If you ask, how could I possibly refuse?"

"I don't really want to trouble you, there's nothing much to it anyway."

Wen Yining's tense nerves finally relaxed. She first observed this lazy bastard who was staring at her with a look of anticipation, his eyes full of meaning. He was definitely doing it on purpose, hoping that Chen Jiabai would find out.

Fortunately, Chen Mo was there, and they managed to get away with it.

Chen Jiabai continued, "If there's any trouble, I'll go first. Just send me a message."

Before leaving, he made a point of looking at the hickey on the side of Wen Yining's neck.

Chen Mo turned around and winked at her, meaning how thrilling it was. "Bye-bye, just tell me if you need anything, and I'll bring it to you."

Li Xiayi's attention was always on Shen Yueze. She didn't find the love triangle anything special. She felt that they had known about it for a long time, but just hadn't said it.

I asked him, "Shen Yueze, when are you free? Let's go out and have some fun. Ye Qingchi said she's going on a road trip, are you coming?"

He opened the lunchbox containing bone broth and replied casually, "Not necessarily."

Only three people remained in the ward. Wen Yining also looked up at Li Xiayi, who was wearing a sexy halter-neck mini-dress, revealing her cleavage. Her legs were quite slender, and she wore canvas shoes. Her hair was braided, very summery, and she carried a pink Chanel bag.

She exudes a refreshing summer vibe, with a delicate girlish charm that is pleasing to the eye and natural. Her voice is also pleasant to listen to.

Even without looking down intentionally, you'll inevitably catch a glimpse of her cleavage, which is quite eye-catching.

Li Xiayi continued, "Are you leaving now? I'll ride in your car."

Wen Yining stared at the two of them. They seemed quite familiar with each other, probably having known each other for several years. She had never looked through his phone, but her innate sensitivity made her feel that their relationship was not innocent. At least Li Xiayi seemed to have some feelings for him.

Li Xiayi ignored her completely, not finding it surprising that she was two-timing, nor did she think there was anything wrong with fair competition. She moved closer to Shen Yueze, and the curve of her chest brushed against Shen Yueze's arm intentionally or unintentionally.

Q: "You don't need to stay and take care of her, do you?"

From Wen Yining's angle, she could see everything clearly. Right next to the bed, the scent of perfume wafted over, like Jo Malone's blackberry and bay leaf.

It seemed unintentional, just a little close, but she was too familiar with him. When she held his hand, her private parts would inevitably rub against him, and sometimes he would even cruelly grind them down.

Holding chopsticks in hand, with a meal laid out in front of me—stewed pigeon, tomato beef brisket, sole fillet, lemon shrimp—I suddenly lost my appetite.

Shen Yueze shifted his body to the left and divided the rice for Wen Yining, half for each of them.

The answer was irrelevant: "You should go back now."

Li Xiayi didn't mind him kicking her out. She felt that they weren't in a romantic relationship. She left, but her mind was still on Shen Yueze. She felt that he was so promiscuous that the novelty wouldn't last long.

After things quieted down, Wen Yining accused, "You did it on purpose, didn't you? You deliberately let Chen Jiabai find out, didn't you?"

He chuckled, "What did I say?"

Wen Yining got angry at his nonchalant and calm demeanor. "You didn't say anything. He's not blind. Even a fool would know something's wrong if he brought this pile of stuff over."

"Don't worry, even if he finds out, he won't retaliate against you."

"..."

Her expression was conflicted, but that wasn't what she was worried about.

"Is having an affair exciting?"
