Looking into those eyes, Wang Hu felt a chill creep into his heart and couldn't help but shiver. If the doctor were a young and beautiful woman, it wouldn't matter, but this person clearly looked quite old. Thinking this, Wang Hu quickly turned around and hurried to catch up with the three ladies ahead.

After all three had their blood drawn, they took the blood samples to the laboratory and then waited quietly for the test results.

During this time, Wang Hu felt a bit bored, so he suggested to the three women beside him, "How about I go downstairs for a smoke? Would you like some water? I'll go buy some for you."

Upon hearing this, the three of them nodded understandingly and replied, "No need, just go and come back quickly!"

After receiving a response, Wang Hu quickly left the room. However, instead of smoking as he had previously stated, he chose to wander around outside the hospital.

After browsing for a while, as he was about to head back, he happened to pass by a supermarket and thought he'd go in to buy a bottle of water to quench his thirst. But as soon as he stepped inside, he bumped into Zhang Lirong.

She looked a bit haggard, and had big dark circles under her eyes, indicating that she had been staying up for a long time.

Upon seeing Wang Hu, Zhang Lirong's face instantly lit up with surprise and delight. She hurriedly asked, "Oh my, did you come all this way to visit me? Why didn't you call me beforehand?"

Faced with Zhang Lirong's enthusiastic inquiry, Wang Hu couldn't help but feel embarrassed. He could only scratch his head and answer awkwardly, "Well... actually, I didn't come to see you. My girlfriend is pregnant, so I brought her here for a check-up."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Lirong's beautiful face instantly filled with a cunning expression. Her large, bright eyes were fixed on Wang Hu, as if trying to discern a clue from his face. She then impatiently pressed on, "Your girlfriend? Didn't Jasmine leave here a long time ago? What exactly happened?"

Wang Hu coughed lightly twice, seemingly trying to cover up his embarrassment and awkwardness, and explained somewhat unnaturally, "Ahem... Well, actually, the person I'm talking about isn't her, but someone else."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Lirong was slightly taken aback at first, then seemed to understand something, a mysterious smile appearing on her lips, a smile tinged with a hint of mockery, before she said in a coquettish voice, "Haha, look at you! But, regarding the fact that you have many women around you, I already guessed it. That beautiful female lawyer must be one of your confidantes, right?"

Wang Hu was somewhat surprised. He stared wide-eyed at Zhang Lirong and asked curiously, "Huh? How do you know she's also my woman? And also, seeing so many women surrounding me, aren't you even a little jealous?"

Zhang Lirong shrugged nonchalantly and said with a smile, "Oh, why would I be jealous? Ever since I fell for you, I've known for a long time that a man as outstanding and charming as you must be surrounded by many beautiful women. So I was prepared for this."

At this moment, Wang Hu suddenly remembered something, frowned and asked, "If that's the case, then what about Liu Sandao? Didn't he also find other women outside, but you managed to teach him a lesson?"

Zhang Lirong rolled her eyes at him and replied irritably, "Hmph, how can he compare to you? If he were really capable of making me submit, would I need to go through all this trouble to come to you?" After saying that, she deliberately gave Wang Hu a flirtatious wink.

Now, Wang Hu was even more puzzled. He stared at Zhang Lirong's extremely haggard face and thought to himself: Judging from her appearance, she must have not slept all night, and given that she is currently in the hospital, she most likely did not go home yesterday.

So Wang Hu couldn't help but ask, "Judging from your appearance, you must have taken care of him all night yesterday. But if you clearly dislike him so much, why did you take such good care of him?"

Zhang Lirong sighed softly and slowly replied, "Although I harbor resentment towards him, at least in the eyes of outsiders, I am still nominally his wife. If I don't do my best to take care of him while he is injured and bedridden, who knows how many rumors will spread about me."

Hearing this, Wang Hu finally understood and said he could understand her predicament. However, a doubt still lingered in his mind. After a slight hesitation, he continued to ask, "If that's the case, why don't you just cut ties with him and get a divorce? After all, his affair with another man's wife is a perfect opportunity, isn't it?"

Zhang Lirong bit her lip tightly and remained silent for a moment before saying, "In the end, it's all because of you! Doesn't my identity excite you? Don't deny it. I could clearly tell from your reaction yesterday by the window."

This woman truly knew how to charm people; with just a few words, she had Wang Hu's heart stirred once more. He couldn't help but look around, but unfortunately, with people coming and going, he couldn't find a suitable opportunity or space.

Wang Hu held her soft, boneless hand tightly and carefully walked towards a less crowded area. Along the way, he secretly planned to take her to a secluded place to spend a beautiful time together, just the two of them. However, just as he was immersed in his wonderful fantasy, a sudden, urgent ringing of a cell phone shattered the tranquility.
