"We made an agreement, signed a prenuptial agreement, and agreed to divorce a year later."

Jiang Jibai finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"That's good."

"But why would the old man think of arranging such an ordinary woman for you? There are plenty of women like that everywhere, and aren't you afraid she might have ulterior motives? After all, your family..."

He didn't finish the sentence.

“She doesn’t know that I didn’t tell him my specific situation. I’ve considered all of what you’ve said. I won’t marry for personal gain, nor will I harm my family’s interests for a woman whose background I don’t know. I had a prenuptial agreement made before the marriage.”

"Moreover, she thought I was currently unemployed, without a house, a car, or savings."

Jiang Jibai nodded, then his eyes suddenly widened:

"So where are you staying now?"

"At her home."

This news gave Jiang Jibai a slight shock.

"So... you're living off a woman now?"

In this woman's eyes, he was nothing more than a nobody.

The man's face darkened slightly, but he did not deny it.

Putting aside what she didn't know about his identity.

On the surface, he does indeed appear to be living off a woman.

Jiang Jibai couldn't understand, "Since you have nothing, not even a job, why is she with you? Is she very rich?"

"The house is bare." The man parted his thin lips and uttered four words.

Jiang Jibai looked even more puzzled after hearing this.

"Why is that? What's she after? Haven't you ever thought about it? What if she already knew your actual situation? What if Grandpa Chu already told him?"

Chu Xing took out a cigarette from his pocket, and just as he put it in his mouth, he remembered that he was in a hospital.

He casually tossed the cigarette into the trash can.

"Can't you just be after my looks?"

"Pfft—"

Jiang Jibai couldn't swallow a mouthful of tea; he spat it out.

How could you say something so shameless?

Chu Xing disagreed.

"Even if I have nothing, there are plenty of women willing to support me because of my looks."

Jiang Jibai felt a chill at the man's arrogance. He had never realized how shameless the man was before. He wondered if this was because he had hidden it well before, or if this woman had given him immense confidence.

But he was even more puzzled.

"Since you're already married and legally protected, why take her to the hospital? Why don't you just help her? You're much more effective than any medicine."

Chu Xing's face turned cold, and he kicked Jiang Jibai in the shin, making him howl in pain.

"Get out, we're just husband and wife in name only."

Jiang Jibai said while rubbing his calf, "So what? Being husband and wife in name doesn't mean we can't do things together. Besides, you're helping her. She won't blame you. You'd be a fool not to take advantage of a good deal."

Chu Xing glared at him.

"You want to get kicked again?"

Just then, there was a knock on the office door, and the nurse walked in with the blood test report. Her cheeks were slightly flushed, as if she had heard something outside.

"Dr. Jiang, this is the blood test report."

Jiang Jibai winked at the nurse, who immediately ran away shyly.

"How could your hospital possibly keep such a menace like you?"

Men's powerful吐槽 (tu cao, a Chinese internet slang term for sarcastic or witty remarks).

Jiang Jibai looked at the blood test report and said, "So what? I'm a skilled doctor, and I didn't really do anything wrong. I'm a doctor with morality, principles, and good looks, unlike someone like you who has no skills, no reputation, and no connections."

Chu Xing: ...

"Fortunately, although the dosage is a bit high, it's not a banned drug. I guess it was obtained from some small pharmacy. We'll keep it in the hospital for observation tonight, and it can be discharged tomorrow morning if everything is fine."

In a daze, Song Mai felt her heart burning hot.

As soon as that cool body disappeared, she felt as if her soul was being burned.

She felt a sharp pain on the back of her hand, followed by a cool liquid flowing into her body, and only then did she feel a little better and drift off to sleep.

After settling into the ward, Chu Xing pushed open the door to Jiang Jibai's office again.

Jiang Ji's eyelids twitched, and a bad premonition welled up in his heart.

"What's wrong now?"

"Keep an eye on things for me, I'll be right back."

Jiang Jibai looked troubled: "Your wife is in this state, and you're not here. It's not appropriate for me to take care of her, is it?"

The man put his coat on.

"This matter still needs to be investigated thoroughly. I'll be back soon. I trust you with my case."

Jiang Jibai nodded: "I still have to work my shift. I'll have the nurse keep an eye on things, and I'll go a few more times myself."

When Chu Xing came downstairs, Assistant Lu had already driven his Maybach downstairs to wait for him. Upon seeing him come downstairs, he quickly opened the car door.

"Master Yun, where are we going?"

The man's eyes held a dangerous glint.

"Yujing Grand Hotel".

It was already 11 p.m. when the two arrived at the Royal View Hotel.

Many people had left Yujing by this time, but it was still brightly lit and bustling with activity.

This is one of the top hotels in the area, with countless people meeting guests and conducting business. It doesn't get completely quiet until the early hours of the morning every day.

The waiter at the door greeted the Maybach warmly as soon as he saw it parked at the entrance, his face beaming with smiles.

She couldn't help but shiver the moment she met the man's eyes.

Chu Xing's cold eyes seemed to hold the power of a hurricane, leaving nothing but barren land and freezing temperatures in their wake.

"Call your manager over."

The waiter was filled with unease: "Sir, what can I do for you? Please tell me and I'll see if I can help you."

Assistant Lu had already parked the car and walked over. "No need, just call the manager."

Ten minutes later, in the corridor outside the monitoring room.

The manager strode forward while muttering curses:

"You didn't even bother to find out who you are before coming to the monitoring room. Don't you know this isn't a place anyone can come to? The people we at Yujing receive are all rich and powerful; not just any Tom, Dick, or Harry can see me! If I find out that this is some Tom, Dick, or Harry, you'd better pack your bags and get out of here!"

The waiter jogged alongside him.

"I really don't know who he is, but he's probably not just anyone. He's very imposing. I asked him what he needed, but he only wanted to see you and nothing else. I don't know how he got here..."

The manager had just reached the door of the monitoring room when he heard a cold, stern voice:

Do you think I, a nobody, am worthy of seeing you?

The bluish light from the monitor in the control room illuminated the man's face. The manager recognized him at a glance, and his legs went weak; he almost knelt down in fear.

"Master Yun, why didn't you say anything when you arrived? I could have picked you up myself. Why bother you like this?"

Assistant Lu had a smile on his face, but his words sank to the bottom:

"The manager is too busy. Our master was afraid of bothering you. We didn't know if we, as nobodies, were worthy to see you, so we had to ask the waiter to call you."
