So he was lying to her about the ligament strain he mentioned before!
Sikong Jingyu also said that he was kicked and injured at the old house that night, but it seems that he was just trying to trick her into saying that!
"Mom," Shi Wan called out.
When she saw Sikong Jingyu, she lowered her eyes and automatically ignored him.
Sikong Jingyu pursed his thin lips and silently approached Shi Wan's hospital bed.
Seeing that Shi Wan woke up, Qin Qiaolian finally breathed a sigh of relief: "Thank goodness you're alright. Your colleague just said you were electrocuted, which almost scared my heart out. How did you get electrocuted?"
Before Shi Wan could speak, her colleague interrupted, "The equipment at the health center is too old. Shi Wan was electrocuted when it leaked electricity while treating a patient. After this accident, let's see if they'll still give us new equipment."
Shi Wan sat up, rubbed her temples, and said, "Mom, I'm fine now, but I still have a bit of a headache. I asked a colleague to help me get some headache medicine. Could you go and pick it up for me?"
"Okay, Mom will be right back." Qin Qiaolian patted Shi Wan's head again, and only after confirming that she didn't see any other wounds did she follow Shi Wan's colleague to get the medicine.
Only Sikong Jingyu and Shi Wan remained in the ward.
The atmosphere was a little awkward.
"Where else do you feel unwell? I'll have Sun Yang fly over here now. You'll come back to the city with me for a thorough check-up. You just fainted, so it must be quite serious."
Sikong Jingyu took the initiative to ask, appearing very good-natured, a stark contrast to his usual arrogant and aloof demeanor.
"No need to trouble Mr. Sikong." Shi Wan declined. She was fine and just needed to rest.
Upon seeing this, Sikong Jingyu frowned slightly, her tone gentle and pleading: "Wanwan, please listen to me, okay? Or, I'll call Mu Zeyuan over."
Shi Wan looked up at Sikong Jingyu, somewhat helplessly: "Mr. Sikong, I'm really fine. My life is worthless. There's really no need for such a fuss. I don't need Mr. Sikong to trouble himself."
Sikong Jingyu was speechless, and Shi Wan said those words to him again. He pursed his lips, his eyes deep and complicated: "Your life is more important than mine. What I said back then was just said in anger. Don't take it to heart."
Shi Wan responded lightly, "Sometimes I really can't tell the truth from falsehood in Mr. Sikong's words, just like your legs."
Her voice was cold and indifferent, and her gaze was fixed on Sikong Jingyu's legs.
Sikong Jingyu felt a lump in her throat, unable to express her unspoken suffering. She had finally discovered it...
Sikong Jingyu lowered his eyes, concealing the guilt in them.
Looking at Sikong Jingyu, Shi Wan suddenly felt that this man was terrifying. He knew that the people around her were short of money, so he poured money into her. He knew that she valued loyalty and righteousness, so he used Uncle Sun to morally blackmail her. Every step she took these past two days seemed to be a trap he had set.
He's also an exceptionally good actor!
If she hadn't had that accident today and he hadn't rushed to the clinic, she wouldn't have known that his leg was perfectly fine.
"Wanwan, I didn't mean to lie to you. I just wanted to find a reasonable excuse... to get close to you." Sikong Jingyu spoke in a low and soft voice, her eyes cautious.
Nobody likes to be designed by someone.
Shi Wan paused for a moment, then said coldly, "Me too."
"Mr. Sikong, have you forgotten how angry you were when you returned to China, thinking that I had framed you?"
Sikong Jingyu raised his head, met Shi Wanqing's clear gaze, and smiled bitterly, "I remember."
Instead of dwelling on the matter, Shi Wan changed her approach and sincerely said, "Next time you pursue someone you like, remember to be more sincere."
Sikong Jingyu paused.
Next time?
Is she subtly telling him that things are no longer possible between them?
Sikong Jingyu took a deep breath, clenched his fists, and tried hard to control his emotions and prevent himself from doing anything impulsive. He adopted a very humble posture.
"Wanwan, I'm so sorry. I was so inconsiderate this time. I apologize to you. I was stupid, I was deaf, I was blind. I refused to try to get along with you after four years of marriage. I regret it, I regret it so much."
Shi Wan gathered her thoughts and remained silent for a moment, then reorganized her words:
“Mr. Sikong, what I want is not your regret. Once this is over, you should go back. I am grateful that you invested in Niwan Village, but don’t think that just because you’re throwing money at me, I will change my mind. We are impossible. Of course, if you choose not to invest because of this, I can understand you.”
Sikong Jingyu remained silent for a long while before speaking again, a faint hope in his eyes: "I won't withdraw my investment. On the contrary, I will add another 50 million. Wanwan, please give me a chance, okay?"
Shi Wan blinked her long eyelashes several times, as if she was carefully considering something. After a long while, she finally spoke: "Alright, if you don't want to leave, then I will leave Niwan Village."
For a moment, Sikong Jingyu felt as if his heart was being slowly sliced apart; he could clearly sense the determination in Shi Wan's tone.
Sikong Jingyu frowned deeply: "Does it really have to be like this...?"
He has already abandoned his dignity and humbled himself to the dust, yet she still won't give him even the slightest chance?
Shi Wan nodded, looked calmly at Sikong Jingyu, and said indifferently, "Mr. Sikong, I am not the right person for you. You'd better not waste your time on me."
"How do you know you're not one if you haven't even tried?" Sikong Jingyu retorted.
Shi Wan remained silent, no longer speaking.
Sikong Jingyu's smile was bitter.
He had never humbled himself like this before, nor had he ever begged anyone. He thought that he had already placed Shi Wan in his heart, and that as long as he treated her well, she would come back to him.
Sikong Jingyu paused for a moment, then suddenly smiled, "You don't need to leave, I'll go back this afternoon..."
"Thank you," Shi Wan said politely, then bowed her head.
Seeing Shi Wan's resistance, Si Kong Jingyu's eyes flashed with sadness. Finally, he turned around and opened the ward door.
Standing by the door, Sikong Jingyu's legs felt incredibly heavy. With his back to Shi Wan, he spoke in a low, hoarse voice, "I'm leaving. Take care of yourself."
“Alright, Mr. Sikong as well.” Shi Wan’s calm voice rang out.
As expected, she didn't say a word to try and stop her.
Sikong Jingyu closed his eyes, clenched his fists, turned around, and left.
Only when he heard the door close did he look up and gaze at the door of the ward.
They were never meant to be together. Now, they should go their separate ways and return to their normal paths. This might be the best outcome for both of them.
When Qin Qiaolian returned to the ward, she didn't see Sikong Jingyu. She frowned, walked over to Shi Wan's bedside, sat down, and asked softly, "Where's Xiaojing? Why are you all alone?"
