As more and more people gathered, Wei Ning snorted and left with Pei Zhao's uncles.

To go all the way, Mingyao kowtowed deeply in the direction they left.

"I will definitely live up to the expectations of my elders and take care of him in every possible way!"

The doctors, nurses, and onlookers gathered outside the ward, all looking at Mingyao with different expressions.

Mingyao wiped away her tears, slammed the hospital room door shut with lightning speed, and then let out a long sigh.

Finally, we got rid of that group of troublemakers.

She hissed and gasped, then rubbed her face tenderly.

In order to give Wei Ning and the others a reason to drive her away, Ming Yao went all out, and her face still hurts.

Does it hurt a lot?

Pei Siyu's weak voice suddenly rang out.

Mingyao froze, realizing that Pei Siyu was staring intently at her.

"When...when did you wake up?"

Her face instantly turned a deep purplish-red. If Pei Siyu saw her acting crazy towards Wei Ning, what would he think?

Pei Siyu looked at Mingyao quietly, a hint of softness in his eyes: "I saw it all."

"You saw me kneeling down too?" Mingyao stammered.

He hummed in agreement, a faint smile appearing on his usually impassive face.

Mingyao was struck dumb. She stood there blankly and forced a dry laugh, "President Pei, why aren't you saying anything now that you're awake?"

She clenched her fists, feeling like crying but unable to shed a tear.

If she had known that Pei Siyu had already woken up, she wouldn't have gone crazy in front of Wei Ning.

Mingyao wished she could disappear into a crack in the ground.

"Su Xueya, why did you do this?"

She always presented herself as gentle and fragile.

Today, in order to prevent Wei Ning and her brothers from staying, Ming Yao did not hesitate to kneel down and beat herself.

Mingyao glared at him, poured herself a glass of water, and then said, "What else could it be?"

"You're unconscious and I'm not around. Who knows what they might do?"

She brought the water to Pei Siyu's lips.

Pei Siyu stared intently into her eyes. "You're worried about me."

His gaze grew increasingly intense, like a raging fire.

Mingyao's blood boiled, and her face and ears burned so badly she felt like she could pinch them until they bled.

Perhaps due to nervousness, Mingyao's hand trembled, and water spilled onto Pei Siyu's collar.

"Feel sorry."

Mingyao was shocked and quickly grabbed a tissue to wipe it off.

She unbuttoned the hospital gown, revealing a man's heaving chest covered in water droplets.

The slightest touch of her fingertips sent Mingyao's heart racing.

Since we got married, everything that should have happened and shouldn't have happened has happened.

But... this was the first time she had looked at Pei Siyu's figure so closely.

Mingyao couldn't help but swallow, and after realizing what she had done, she felt only shame.

What kind of time is this to still be thinking about appreciating beautiful bodies?

Mingyao tried to escape, but as soon as she turned around, her wrist was grabbed by a large hand.

"You haven't answered me yet."

"You're my husband, of course I'm worried about you."

Mingyao lowered her head awkwardly, wiped her face casually a couple of times, and said nervously, "I'll go find the doctor and get another set of clothes."

Pei Siyu did not let go; instead, he gripped even tighter.

His palms were burning hot, making her body even hotter and her head feel dizzy.

Do you really consider me your other half?

Mingyao was getting a little impatient. Why were they always asking such pointless questions?

"We've already registered our marriage; we're legally recognized as a couple."

As soon as Mingyao turned around, she met Pei Siyu's eyes, which could drown a person.

In just a moment of distraction, Mingyao felt as if she were being swallowed up by his black hole-like eyes.

"Then why don't you care about me?"

"ah?"

Mingyao barely managed to regain a sliver of reason: "When have I ever stopped caring about you?"

Pei Siyu pursed his lips, staring intently at Ming Yao, his complex gaze filled with a hint of anger and grievance.

"Don't you know?"

Mingyao: "..."

She wasn't a mind reader for Pei Siyu, so how could she possibly guess what he was thinking?

Seeing that Mingyao did not answer, Pei Siyu increased the pressure on his hand, and his expression became sinister.

Mingyao hissed in shock. Brutality! Cruelty!

"Tell me, and I'll know where I went wrong."

Mingyao's eyes were red and misty as she looked longingly at Pei Siyu.

Pei Siyu stared at Mingyao, his lips twitching slightly, seemingly finding it difficult to speak.

Mingyao found it amusing.

There are still things he's embarrassed to say.

"Tell me, if I have made mistakes, I will correct them; if I haven't, I will strive to do better. I won't let you feel that I don't care about you anymore, okay?"

Mingyao looked at Pei Siyu with a serious expression, which gave her the illusion that she was coaxing a child.

Why did you let Xu Sitian get close to me?

Pei Siyu asked, enunciating each word clearly, gradually tightening his grip.

Especially when Xu Sitian caused an accident to come into contact with him, Mingyao did not stop her but pretended to be blind and could not see it!

Mingyao's expression froze, clearly stunned: "When did I allow Xu Sitian to get close to you?"

A fire ignited in Pei Siyu's eyes, and he gripped Mingyao's wrist even tighter.

"What's the meaning?"

Do you think she did the right thing?

Mingyao was in so much pain she almost cried. If they kept squeezing, her wrist and hand would separate!

With tears in her eyes, she argued, "No, she did something wrong."

Only after receiving a satisfactory answer did Pei Siyu release his grip, glaring at Ming Yao and demanding, "Why didn't you do anything about it?"

Mingyao felt very aggrieved. It wasn't that she didn't care, but she believed that nothing would happen between Pei Siyu and her.
