Chapter 506: Exhausted

One week!

Chi Wenyan's patience had long been exhausted.

Every minute and every second of waiting was torture for him.

He turned around abruptly, no longer looking at Su Jiujiu's pitiful appearance, and rushed out of the office in big strides.

Su Jiujiu looked at his angry back, a hint of imperceptible pride flashed in her eyes, but it was soon replaced by worry. She said softly to the chief physician, "Doctor, please help me. I will take good care of myself."

After Chi Wenyan asked his assistant to lock Su Jiujiu up in her original place, he returned to the outside of Nian Nian's ward.

Through the thick glass, he saw a small figure lying quietly on the hospital bed with various tubes inserted into his body.

His heart felt like it was being gripped by an invisible hand, and the pain was so severe that he could hardly breathe.

The swapped amniotic fluid sample, the blurry surveillance screenshot, and Su Jiujiu...

All the annoyances were intertwined in his mind, anger and regret mixed together, making his eyes bloodshot.

He leaned against the cold wall, and the despair and hostility emanating from his body made the passing medical staff look sideways and quicken their pace.

The night was as dark as thick ink, and the lights in the hospital corridors were pale and dazzling.

Chi Wenyan's tall figure seemed to be nailed to the wall outside the intensive care unit, and the low pressure surrounding him almost solidified the air.

His scarlet eyes were bloodshot, his jawline was taut, and every inch of his muscle seemed on the verge of exploding.

“Da, da, da…”

The crisp sound of high heels approached from afar. Ji Wan, dressed in a plain dress, walked over with an expressionless face. When her eyes met Chi Wenyan, her previously calm eyes suddenly froze, and disgust and hatred burst out without concealment.

"Chi Wenyan," her voice was three times colder than the wind in the corridor, "How dare you show up here?"

Chi Wenyan suddenly raised his eyes and saw Ji Wan. The scarlet in his eyes surged even more fiercely, mixed with a hint of complex and indistinguishable emotions. He said hoarsely: "Wan Wan, miss her..."

"Don't call me Wanwan." Ji Wan interrupted harshly, each word cutting like a knife cut through ice. "Don't you know how much pain I felt when you betrayed me? What are you trying to do now? Who are you trying to show off to?"

"I didn't." Chi Wenyan's forehead veins throbbed, and his chest heaved violently, "Su Jiujiu, she..."

"You still want to mention her?" Ji Wan sneered, but the smile did not reach his eyes, only a desolate coldness. "Why, are you afraid that I will know the deep feelings between you, afraid that I will know that you are willing to disregard Nian Nian's safety for her?"

"That's not the case." Chi Wenyan stepped forward and tried to explain, his tone filled with an urgency and weakness that he himself hadn't noticed. "Nian Nian's condition is very critical. The doctor said that Su Jiujiu's body..."

"Enough!" Ji Wan suddenly raised his voice, his sharp voice piercing the tranquility of the night, "I don't want to hear anything about that woman. Chi Wenyan, get out of here, right now, right now!"

She pointed in the direction of the elevator, her hand trembling slightly with anger.

Chi Wenyan stood there, his fists clenched, his knuckles white. He couldn't leave, Nian Nian was still inside.

How can he leave?

"I won't leave." He spoke each word, his voice grinding out from the depths of his throat, with a desperate persistence, "Nian Nian is my daughter, I must protect her."

"Your daughter?" Ji Wan seemed to have heard a huge joke, tears welling up in her eyes, but she stubbornly refused to let them fall. "You still remember that she is your daughter? Chi Wenyan, you really refreshed my understanding of shamelessness!"

She thought Chi Wenyan was still forcing Su Jiujiu, and the anger and disappointment in her heart almost swallowed her up.

"I..." Chi Wenyan's throat was dry. He wanted to explain something, but he had no evidence at the moment.

Because Su Jiujiu's physical condition did not allow it, even if he wanted to explain, he couldn't say it. At this moment, his anxiety and regret reached its peak.

The words that were stuck in my throat were all stuck in my throat when I saw Ji Wan's eyes that were filled with disappointment and accusation.

"Get lost." Ji Wan roared again, his voice tinged with tears. "I don't want to see your disgusting face again!"

She rushed forward and pushed Wen Yan's chest hard: "Go away! Get out!"

Chi Wenyan didn't move at all, letting her fists hit his body. The force was insignificant to him, but it was like a small hammer, hitting his heart hard.

"Wanwan, calm down." He grabbed her wrist, his voice hoarse.

"Let me go!" Ji Wan struggled hard, tears finally falling uncontrollably, "Chi Wenyan, you bastard, liar!"

The heated argument between the two attracted the attention of several nurses on night duty and the patients' families at the end of the corridor. Someone quietly took out a cell phone and pointed it in this direction.

“Crack.”

A faint shutter sound was heard.

Chi Wenyan noticed it keenly. He turned his head suddenly and swept his cold eyes towards the source of the sound. The man was so scared that his hands trembled and he hurriedly put away his phone.

Because of this brief pause, Ji Wan had exhausted all his strength and his body became slightly weak.

Chi Wenyan supported her, his voice tired and hoarse: "I won't leave Nian Nian. If you don't want to see me, you can go to the lounge."

He couldn't leave, nor could he force Ji Wan to leave.

Nian Nian's illness, Su Jiujiu's calculations, and Ji Wan's misunderstanding were like an invisible net that trapped him and made him unable to move.

In less than half an hour, a blurry video accompanied by several candid photos quickly went viral on the Internet.

The title is sensational.

"Late at night in the hospital, President Chi and his wife had a heated argument, suspected of a breakdown in their relationship. The young mistress angrily told him to get out."

In the video, Ji Wan was very emotional and yelled and pushed Chi Wenyan, while Chi Wenyan looked a little embarrassed and helpless.

The comment section exploded instantly:

"Oh my God! Is this true? Haven't Mr. Chi and his wife always been in love?"

"The village network above? I've heard that Mr. Chi's marriage is a business marriage, with no emotional basis."

"Look at Ji Wan, she's hysterical. How can she behave like a wealthy young lady? I'm afraid she's going to be kicked out."

"Why did I hear that Mr. Chi has been getting very close to a female celebrity named Su recently? Could it be that the mistress has taken over and the wife is going crazy?"

"Tsk tsk, there's never enough drama in a wealthy family! Is Ji Wan going to become a rich man's abandoned wife?"

"I feel so sorry for Ji Wan. Seeing her crying so sadly, Chi Wenyan is such a scumbag!"

"Don't talk nonsense upstairs. The video was cut off at the beginning and the end. Who knows the cause and effect? But Mr. Chi's expression doesn't seem to show that he has no feelings for his wife."

The online discussion surged like a tidal wave, pushing Chi Wenyan and Ji Wan to the forefront once again. However, the two people at the center of the vortex were still unaware of this.
