Help! My Ex-Husband is My Online Lover

Nan Xian debuted at twenty and became an overnight sensation. At twenty-three, at the peak of her career, she married He Mingxiao. Who knew that on their wedding night, Nan Xian would receive a con...

Chapter 32 He Mingxiao's Little Secrets

The hospital test results came out quickly.

Nan Xian's heart is fine, and everything else is normal. The doctor speculated that her sudden discomfort was most likely due to low blood sugar, which, combined with sudden exercise, caused temporary palpitations and panic.

She herself didn't think it was a big deal, but Tan Wei took it very seriously and even made a special trip for it.

She spoke with the doctor for more than half an hour, and afterwards immediately canceled Nan Xian's schedule for the next week and assigned two nutritionists to supervise her daily diet.

So Nanxian's hot pot plan fell through again, and her milk tea was also canceled.

She lay at home, utterly despondent, completely unaware that she had once again become a trending topic.

On Weibo at this moment—

In the hashtag #NanxianFeelsUnwellDuringFilmingAndWasSentToTheHospital#, her fans, nicknamed Pumpkin Seeds, sent messages of condolence and prayed for her speedy recovery.

The focus of passersby was—

Am I the only one who thinks Nan Xian looks stunningly beautiful when she's frail...?

In the photos released "intentionally or unintentionally" by the staff on site, Nan Xian is wearing a peach-red palace dress with a skirt embroidered with phoenixes soaring behind her like clouds.

She knelt on the ground, her hands covering her chest, her waist slightly bent, revealing a section of her fair and delicate neck. Her pale face was vaguely visible through the drooping hairpin, her brows furrowed in extreme pain.

The photo was very clear; when zoomed in, you could even see the cold sweat sliding down her forehead, and her furrowed brows and tightly pursed lips showed her discomfort.

This directly shut up the mouths of those haters who were jumping around saying she was putting on a show.

Fans were busy feeling sorry for her, while passersby were secretly admiring Nan Xian's beauty while watching the drama unfold.

After learning that she was safe and sound, the hashtag #NanXianMeiWeakAndTragicCharacter# immediately became the number one trending topic.

Now everyone is talking openly and freely, and the number of posts has increased dramatically.

Nan Xian is so perfect for period dramas, please make a period drama for her already TT

Just looking at this picture, I can already picture a story of a princess from a fallen kingdom enduring humiliation to marry her enemy and exact revenge!

[Wouldn't it be even more satisfying to have a disgraced concubine rise to power, overthrow the emperor, and become empress herself? Plus, she could keep multiple male concubines: an arrogant prime minister, a loyal general, a pure-hearted nobleman, a stunningly handsome foreign prince... she could collect them all! Hahahaha!]

[You upstairs are too arrogant! Aren't you afraid that President He will call you in for tea? [smirk]]

[If you don't understand, just ask: What does this have to do with He Mingxiao? Didn't they divorce a long time ago?]

[Those who follow gossip probably know that He Mingxiao pursued his ex-wife all the way to a variety show. It's said that whenever Nan Xian was present, he would just stand by and watch. Tsk tsk tsk~]

Why are you guys suddenly talking about He Mingxiao? Isn't that Nan Xian's entry? What are you standing there for? Hurry up and compliment this beautiful woman!

Nan Xian attended two classes with a nutritionist in the afternoon and benefited greatly, so she thought she would share them with her fans.

I was stunned when I opened Weibo.

At this point, the popularity of the topic had dropped to around 20th place, and the square was almost entirely dominated by pumpkin seeds. The few posts with high popularity were all photoshopped by big fans themselves.

They replaced the green cloth in the picture with various backgrounds, and it turned out surprisingly harmonious.

There were also some talented writers who spontaneously created a few short stories, making the fans drool and rush into Nan Xian's studio, begging them to help Nan Xian get more period drama scripts.

Nan Xian herself couldn't help but feel a little tempted. She had only taken on modern dramas and movies before, and had never tried period dramas.

Among the scripts Tan Wei posted before, there seems to be a fantasy/xia (fantasy/martial arts) script that's pretty good...

Just as I was pondering this, a new message popped up on WeChat.

[.h: I heard Nan Xian was hospitalized. Is she alright?]

He Mingxiao was really out of options. Ever since they returned from the deserted island, Nan Xian had blocked all of his contact methods.

He asked Tan Wei, who said the situation wasn't serious, but he was still worried. Luckily, he still had this pseudonym...

He pretended to be a fan, while Nan Xian "dutifully" played the role of an insider in the industry:

[Xian Shi Kan Hua: My friend is Nan Xian's makeup artist. She said Nan Xian just had low blood sugar and recovered on set. She's fine!]

【.h: That's good.】

【.h: Have you had dinner?】

When this was mentioned, Nan Xian couldn't help but sigh.

I've been controlling my diet lately, and this is all I can eat for dinner.

She took a picture of the customized recipes the nutritionist had prepared for her and sent them to him.

[You're away on a business trip, are you eating well? I've never been to Singapore, I'm a little curious about the food there.]

He Mingxiao recalled his past business trip experiences, describing them in a slightly exaggerated way:

[.h: Work is so busy that I mostly eat boxed meals at the hotel, and sometimes I don't even have time to eat. I only realize I'm hungry after working through the night.]

[There are many overseas Chinese in Singapore, and the local cuisine is a fusion of Chinese and Malay dishes. If you travel here, you don't need to worry about food.]

[Xian Shi Kan Hua: You all work so hard, you really need to take better care of your health. Try to eat three meals a day regularly. Work is important, but good health is the foundation of everything! Only with good health can you earn more money!]

When He Mingxiao saw the last sentence, he couldn't help but chuckle, his tired brain seemingly becoming much more alert.

He pressed the call button, and Assistant Jiang knocked on the door and entered.

"Mr. He, is there anything I can help you with?"

He Mingxiao thought for a moment, "Are there any porridge shops near the company?"

"Yes, what kind of porridge would you like to eat? I'll go buy it."

"Health-preserving porridge." He said seriously, "The healthier the better."

Only with good health can you earn more money... to spend on your wife!

Assistant Jiang was stunned for a second, but his years of experience as a secretary allowed him to quickly regain his composure and reply with an even more serious expression than He Mingxiao: "Okay."

He closed the door, turned around, and headed towards the elevator.

As the elevator rapidly descended the stairs, Assistant Jiang's serious face gradually turned worried.

Why did the boss suddenly want to drink health-preserving porridge?

Could it really be—

He suddenly realized something, raised his hand to touch his lower back, and his expression became increasingly serious.

He Mingxiao, who was having a pleasant conversation with Nan Xian, was completely unaware of the probing glances his assistant was giving him.

Because of Nan Xian's concern, the gloom in his heart was swept away, and a few smiles appeared on his usually indifferent face.

In the evening, during a video conference with employees from the overseas branch, He Mingxiao pointed out several obvious flaws in their reports. Everyone was terrified, expecting to be criticized, but he only gave a few warnings and ended the meeting early.

Everyone: ??? What's going on? Has President He changed his mind?

President He, who was at the center of the discussion, rushed home to chat online with his ex-wife.

In fact, He Mingxiao had a plan for tonight—

He wanted to take his relationship with Nan Xian to the next level.
