Jiang Yubai could no longer pretend to be asleep.

He wanted to persuade Xiaowan to stay with him.

"You're awake?"

Su Yinwan turned to look at him, then sat down next to him.

"Are you feeling better now? I just took your temperature, and it's gone down. You should be fine now."

"I still feel a bit unwell, my whole body aches and I feel weak."

Jiang Yubai was certain that Su Yinwan wouldn't abandon him, so he pretended to still be very weak.

"Have some porridge first. I just cooked it. It might give you some energy."

After saying that, she stepped forward and helped Jiang Yubai up.

"Can you eat by yourself?"

As Su Yinwan watched the sky outside grow brighter, she realized she had to hurry back.

"Could you feed me? My hands are too weak."

"Hmm... okay."

Su Yinwan had no choice but to hold the porridge, pick up a spoon, scoop a spoonful of porridge, blow on it to cool it down, and then feed it to Jiang Yubai.

"Delicious! Xiao Wan's cooking is really good."

Although the plain congee was bland and tasteless, it still warmed his heart.

Jiang Yubai realized that it had been a long time since he had eaten a meal cooked by Xiao Wan.

Now, using illness as an excuse, he's eating it again.

He actually hoped that he would stay sick forever, so that his little Wan could continue to take care of him.

“No matter what I cooked before, you would always praise it as delicious. Only Yunhe would tell the truth, whether it’s good or bad.”

Su Yinwan smiled.

"I hope I'll have the chance to eat your cooking again in the future."

"What are you saying? If you want to eat, come to me with Yunhe and I'll make it for you."

While feeding Jiang Yubai, Su Yinwan glanced at the time on her phone.

It's almost seven o'clock; Rong Jing should be up by now.

She started to become somewhat absent-minded.

His subsequent conversations with Jiang Yubai were also perfunctory responses.

Finally, he finished the porridge in the bowl, and Su Yinwan quickly took the empty bowl to the kitchen to wash it.

She walked to Jiang Yubai's room and said quickly, "Yubai, I'm going back now. If you feel unwell anywhere, remember to call me."

"You can sleep a little longer, I'm leaving now, bye-bye."

Su Yinwan didn't wait for Jiang Yubai's response and quickly walked back to the old house.

When they returned to the old house, they saw Aunt Qin busy in the kitchen, but they couldn't find Grandpa Su in the living room or the yard.

Su Yinwan figured he'd probably gone to chat with Grandma Yang next door.

Then, she went upstairs to the second floor and gently pushed open the door to the room.

Rong Jing was no longer on the bed.

There was no one else in the room.

"Where did they go?" she muttered to herself, her eyes scanning the surroundings.

Su Yinwan picked up her phone, preparing to call Rong Jing.

Before the call could be dialed, the man walked in from outside.

"You're up so early? Where have you been?"

Su Yinwan asked first, her hand gripping her phone tightly as she lowered it, looking somewhat flustered.

It seems they've done something wrong.

The man's face was gloomy, and his deep eyes were fixed on Su Yinwan.

moment.

Rong Jingcai spoke coldly, "Wanwan, I should be asking you that. Where did you go last night? Aunt Qin said you left at two o'clock last night."

"I want to know which friend is sick."

He didn't see his wife Rong when he woke up in the morning. He reached out and touched the blankets next to him. They were cold. He didn't know when she had gotten up.

After searching around, I asked Aunt Qin and found out that she had gone out at 2 a.m. because her friend was sick.

And this happened without his knowledge.

Rong Jing was very angry about this.

He had a gut feeling that this matter was not simple.

Su Yinwan didn't intend to hide it from him, so she explained.

“Yesterday Yu Bai called me and said he had a fever. I thought that since he was in Beicheng and didn’t know any other relatives or friends, and Yun He had gone back to Rongcheng, I was the only one who could go and check on him.”

"If you're sick, you should go to the hospital, not come to me. You're not a doctor."

“He didn’t like going to the hospital because of Grandma Shi’s passing, and we didn’t have any medicine at home, so I couldn’t just ignore him.”

"Su Yinwan, you are a married woman. Going to another man's house in the middle of the night, what are people going to think?"

"I simply went there to take care of him. I, Su Yinwan, have nothing to fear, and I am not afraid of what others say."

"And what about me? Have you ever thought about how I feel?"

“I thought about having you come with me yesterday, but I couldn’t bear to wake you up, so I went alone.”

Su Yinwan wanted to hold Rong Jing's hand and act cute with him so that the matter could be resolved.

Unexpectedly, the man directly avoided her hand.

"Su Yinwan, don't you understand your own position? Jiang Yubai has feelings for you. Who knows what happened between you two inside?"

Rong Jing was furious.

He said hurtful things directly to Su Yinwan's face.

Su Yinwan instantly felt a stab to her heart and sneered, "So, you don't believe me, and you think something happened between me and Jiang Yubai last night, right?"

"Isn't that right? Just simple greetings and taking care of each other? Who would believe that?"

Su Yinwan raised her hand and slapped him across the face, choking back tears as she said, "Rong Jing, I'm so disappointed in you. I thought we trusted each other, but it seems I was wrong."

That slap couldn't compare to the pain in his heart.

He was really angry about this.

I was so angry that I couldn't control my emotions, and I was so angry that I had to say such hurtful things to her.

"Fine, believe it or not, it's up to you. I'm not going to explain anymore."

Su Yinwan went into the bathroom and turned on the tap.

She dared not cry out loud, so she could only clench her knuckles.

Rong Jing, standing outside, was also unable to let go of the matter.

He grabbed a coat and his car keys and left the room.

"Bang."

Hearing the door slam shut, Su Yinwan rushed out.

Rong Jing has already left.

She rushed downstairs but didn't see him.

They followed him to the main gate.

The man drove off in his Maybach.

Su Yinwan wanted to follow, but she didn't see the steps clearly and fell hard to the ground.

Her knees were directly on the rough, uneven ground.

"hiss."

A sharp pain suddenly struck.

It hurts so much. Su Yinwan felt that her legs were numb and painful.

She decided to sit on the ground to calm herself down.

Looking up again, the Maybach was nowhere to be seen.

Su Yinwan was saddened, and tears streamed down her face uncontrollably.

Just then, Grandpa Su slowly walked back from Grandma Yang's house, leaning on his cane.

He saw Su Yinwan sitting on the ground, crying.

"Xiao Wan, what's wrong? Why are you crying?"

Upon hearing her grandfather's voice, Su Yinwan quickly wiped away her tears.

"Grandpa, it's nothing. I just tripped and fell. My knee hurts a little."

"My poor Xiao Wan, can you still walk? I'll go and call A Jing to help you."

Grandpa Su felt he couldn't help, so he wanted to go in and call Rong Jing out.

"grandfather."

Su Yinwan held onto Grandpa Su's hand, hesitating to speak.
