The ward was silent for a long time, and a suffocating atmosphere constantly filled the narrow and cramped space, making it almost impossible to breathe.

Zhang Qin gritted his teeth, his face serious.

Ye Ningwan, on the other hand, became increasingly calm and composed.

Finally, Zhang Qin took a deep breath, trying to calm himself down, before slowly speaking.

"Ye Ningwan... since you're still sitting here, it means there's still room for us to talk."

Ye Ningwan smiled.

She won her bet.

In situations like these, the one who speaks first usually loses.

Zhang Qin looked directly into Ye Ningwan's eyes.

"Please feel free to make any requests you may have."

Ye Ningwan, however, raised a finger and shook it at Zhang Qin.

"No rush."

"Let's talk about your situation first."

Zhang Qin frowned, seemingly very opposed to Ye Ningwan's approach, but given his disadvantageous position, he ultimately held back and said nothing.

Ye Ningwan said to Zhang Qin with a smile.

"Zhang Qin, actually, the only person you care about in the entire Pei family is Madam Pei, right?"

"As for the others, whether it's Pei Minghao or Pei Minghan, your feelings for them are less about treating them as brothers and more about hating them, being jealous of them, and even wishing them dead! In that case, your mother will belong to you alone, and no one will ever share her love, her care, or her attention with you again!"

"Are you really willing to accept this? Are you willing to spend your whole life sacrificing for Pei Minghan? Spending your entire life cleaning up the messes of Madam Pei's other two sons, while she doesn't even see you!"

Zhang Qin remained silent.

He remained silent for a long time, and although his face still showed a refusal, Ye Ningwan saw a softening in his eyes.

After a long while, Zhang Qin finally spoke to Ye Ningwan.

"So what? I did it all willingly! I'm willing to give everything for the First Madam because she's my benefactor. She saved my life and she's been so good to me. How could I let her down!"

"I'm willing to give up everything for her, even my life!"

"Ye Ningwan, I did everything. It wasn't just about harming you; I also orchestrated Pei Fengzhi's car accident. The First Madam never intended to harm Pei Fengzhi! But I couldn't bear to see her living such a miserable life, so I took action!"

"A life for a life. I only have one life. Whether you want it or Pei Fengzhi wants it, you can take it!"

Ye Ningwan couldn't help but laugh when she saw Zhang Qin's fearless expression.

“Zhang Qin, have you ever thought that the truth you believe to be is not the same as what you imagine? In fact, when you look at it from a different perspective, you will find that the truth is actually like this.”

Zhang Qin frowned, looking at Ye Ningwan with an expression that seemed to say, "Do you want to listen to what you're saying?"

"I don't understand, and I don't want to understand."

Just as Ye Ningwan was about to say something, the door to the ward was suddenly opened.

A beam of light shone from the corridor into the dimly lit ward, and Zhang Qin subconsciously raised his hand to shield his eyes.

The man walked directly into the ward, his tall and slender figure casting a long shadow on the floor as he walked step by step toward Zhang Qin.

Zhang Qin was so intimidated by the powerful wires emanating from the newcomer that he took a few steps back.

“Pei… Pei…”

Pei Fengzhi ignored her and stood in front of Ye Ningwan, pressing down on her wobbly chair and scolding her helplessly.

"Sit still, what if you fall?"

Ye Ningwan pursed her lips. This person has been meddling more and more lately.

She had no choice but to stand up like a good girl, obediently taking Pei Fengzhi's arm and smiling as she spoke.

"That way you won't fall."

Ye Ningwan in front of Pei Fengzhi was completely different from her fierce and powerful self just now; she was so obedient that it was as if she had a dual personality.

Looking at Ye Ningwan, Zhang Qin felt that this woman seemed to have countless facets. Even if she pretended to be very obedient, she still couldn't hide the fact that she was a wicked person at heart.

Zhang Qin opened his mouth, but before he could say anything, Jiang Yinglin had already dragged him out.

The door to the ward was closed again.

Pei Fengzhi turned his head and glanced at Ye Ningwan. His narrow phoenix eyes scrutinized Ye Ningwan. His smile was gentle but contained a sharp edge, making Ye Ningwan feel like she was being pricked by thorns.

Could it be that Pei Fengzhi heard everything outside the door?

I wonder how long this person stood outside the door, and how much he heard?

Ye Ningwan felt a little guilty, but she pretended to be very innocent and blinked at Pei Fengzhi, smiling as she spoke.

Why are you looking at me like that? Your eyes are so fierce, are you angry?

Pei Fengzhi remained silent.

Ye Ningwan's smile faded slightly.

"Why are you always like this? I can't guess what you're thinking. It's so tiring to be with you."

Pei Fengzhi finally chuckled softly and asked her.

"Are you going to bring up divorce next?"

Ye Ningwan turned her head away, scoffed softly, and said irritably.

"You were the one who yelled at me first."

She seemed to make a lot of sense. Pei Fengzhi sighed, feeling utterly helpless with this person.

"Fang Ruotang is cured?"

Ye Ningwan snorted.

"not yet."

Pei Fengzhi reached out and touched the back of her neck, gently stroking the delicate and soft skin there.
