Chapter 17 Caught in their embrace

The loud slam of the door startled Han Xi, who was sitting with his back to it.

When she turned around, Shen Jiheng had already left.

She took a deep breath and stared blankly at the white sheets, her mind buzzing, but as blank as the sheets themselves.

Then, she slowly moved her body, trying to get out of the wheelchair and go back to bed.

Shen Jiheng walked to the hospital rooftop, a place he was already very familiar with.

He pulled out a cigarette and put it in his mouth, while taking out a lighter and calling Qin Chuan, "Find out where Madam went today and who she met."

Qin Chuan: "..."

The call ended, and the man stared at the lighter in his hand for a moment. Thinking of the frown on Han Xi's face every time she smelled the smoke on him, he put the lighter back in his pocket and crushed the cigarette in his mouth.

Inside the ward, Han Xi was struggling to climb into bed.

"What are you doing?" Bo Siye's voice suddenly came from behind.

Han Xi was startled and instinctively sat back in her wheelchair. She patted her chest and turned to see the man carrying flowers and a fruit basket.

"You startled me! Why didn't you make a sound when you came in?"

“Sorry,” Bo Siyue smiled and walked into the ward, “I knocked, you just didn’t hear me.”

After saying that, he looked around the ward. "Alone? Didn't Shen Jiheng hire a caregiver for you?"

"I did look for him," Han Xi replied succinctly, not wanting to say more about the man.

Bo Siye nodded and put the fruit basket aside. "Were you trying to go back to bed? Shall I help you?"

Although she was asking questions, she immediately wrapped her arms around Han Xi.

"What are you doing?"

Before Han Xi could refuse, Shen Jiheng's voice boomed from the doorway.

Shen Jiheng's face was colder than ice at this moment.

He had only gone to make a phone call, and when he came back, he saw the two of them hugging.

"It's not visiting hours, get out." He strode forward and placed his hand on Bo Siyue's shoulder.

Han Xi watched as Shen Jiheng forcefully pushed Bo Siye aside and stepped between the two of them, showing a complete lack of politeness towards his college roommate.

Bo Siye didn't seem to care much, and laughed lightly: "Xi Xi, I'm leaving now. I'll bring you my favorite wontons from college next time."

Han Xi quickly replied politely, "No need to trouble yourself..."

"No trouble at all, it's settled then." Bo Siye said, turning to leave.

"stop!"

Shen Jiheng's gaze fell on the flowers and fruit basket he had brought. "Take your things with you. Mrs. Shen doesn't need these."

Bo Siyue didn't move. He glanced at Han Xi, who was still sitting in the wheelchair, and finally looked at Shen Jiheng. He smiled and said, "She's already Xi Xi's. Whether she needs him or not is not up to you."

"Bo Siyue, don't think I don't know what you're thinking? Grab your things and get out of here, or you'll end up with nothing!" Shen Jiheng's voice was icy, and his eyes were dark.

Bo Siyue did not back down, and the atmosphere in the room instantly became tense. "Then what do you think I want?"

"Enough!" Han Xi had no patience to watch Shen Jiheng's inexplicable "jealousy."

But when they both looked at her, her voice wasn't as firm as before, and she said awkwardly, "Why don't you two go outside and argue? I want to rest..."

Qin Chuan stood at the doorway and cautiously peered into the room, then called out, "President!"

Shen Jiheng waited for Bo Siye to leave the ward before following him out.

Han Xi took a deep breath, but had already given up on the idea of ​​climbing into bed. She leaned against the wheelchair with a lifeless expression. What kind of karma had she created?

Zhuo Qingqian's message popped up.

[XiXi, HanShu Group just suddenly terminated their legal cooperation with our law firm!]
