In just a few days, the two children completely opened their hearts to He Lingchuan.
They had many misunderstandings about He Lingchuan before, but after taking care of him for a while, their views and impressions of him have changed a lot. Now, whenever they see He Lingchuan, they can't help but want to rummage through his pockets to see if he has brought them anything good.
As time went on, everyone began to speculate about his relationship with Shen Yanxi.
"What exactly do you think He Lingchuan does?"
"I don't know. He's so handsome, he must be a relative of Miss Shen."
“I think so too. I heard that Mr. Zhou injured his foot, which is why he couldn’t come to take care of the child. He must be a relative who came to help.”
"Miss Shen's family genes are too good. How come even her relatives are so handsome?"
He Lingchuan walked past them with the insulated box in his hand, just in time to hear their speculation.
He paused, looking helpless.
Shen Yanxi and Zhou Mingyan's relationship was no secret. He smiled to himself, thinking that all the years he had diligently taken care of Shen Yanxi were less than the birth of Zhou Mingyan, and he felt like crying.
He sighed, too lazy to argue. They were already divorced anyway, so there was no point in saying anything more.
He Lingchuan composed himself outside the ward door, and when he opened the door, he had a smile on his face.
"Nanchen and Beichen, look what delicious treats Daddy brought you!"
He Lingchuan has been busy taking care of his two children lately, and his cooking skills have improved.
The two children also grew to love his cooking more and more.
He had just opened the insulated box when he heard a rhythmic knocking sound.
This knocking style is definitely not Shen Yanxi's; she never knocks on doors.
He Lingchuan took out the food before turning around to open the door.
"who……"
He Lingchuan swallowed his words halfway through.
He stared at the man for a long time but couldn't figure out who he was. He Lingchuan rubbed his eyebrows, a little embarrassed: "And you are?"
"I'm from the next ward."
The girl looked thin and small, but her appearance was quite pretty, and she spoke gently. She shouldn't be very old.
He Lingchuan thought she needed his help and was about to ask when he saw her shyly take out her phone, which showed a friend request screen: "Could you give me your contact information?"
Perhaps fearing she might misunderstand, the girl added after saying that, "I'm not seriously ill, I just have a bit of a cold."
"Actually, I..."
Just as He Lingchuan was about to refuse, he caught a glimpse of Shen Yanxi and Zhou Mingyan chatting and laughing as they went up the stairs, carrying a bunch of toiletries.
He recognized it immediately as the brand that Shen Yanxi often used, even the toiletries were gone.
He Lingchuan clenched his fists at his sides and, in a moment of impulse, looked at the girl and nodded.
"Really? Are you free in a few days?"
The girl peeked into the ward and tentatively asked him, "You probably don't have a girlfriend, right? Are those two kids going to be discharged soon? Can I ask you out?"
Why did you ask me out?
He Lingchuan looked surprised, and regretted it as soon as he added the contact information.
Every word I speak now carries a deeper meaning.
The girl stood there somewhat awkwardly, looking down at her toes, her voice soft and sweet: "Didn't you just give me your contact information? I like you, and I want to get to know you better."
"I'm sorry, I can't have any further contact with you."
As more and more people gathered around, He Lingchuan was thinking about how to find a suitable reason to refuse her when he heard the jeers from those around him.
"Together, together."
"Get together, you two are a perfect match."
"They are such a perfect match."
He Lingchuan hated this kind of forced confession the most. He frowned and said without hesitation, "I'm sorry, I really want to say yes, but I'm already married."
"You're married?"
The girl's fingertips were trembling. She looked at the person in front of her in disbelief, thinking she had misheard.
"Yes, I'm married, so..."
With a 'slap', He Lingchuan turned his head to the side, and a handprint instantly appeared on his face.
The girl's nails were rather long, and she scratched a bloody mark on He Lingchuan's neck.
"You liar, you clearly added my contact information."
Shen Yanxi's gaze fell upon the girl, who had just finished soaking her eyes with redness.
She frowned, feeling inexplicably annoyed.
Halfway through watching the spectacle, the people around began to stand on higher ground and criticize He Lingchuan.
"You're married, so why did you agree to date that young girl?"
"Exactly, isn't this a jerk?"
He Lingchuan's gaze swept over them one by one: "You guys are really free."
Couldn't he have agreed to it to protect the girl's self-confidence?
Does he have to be single to agree to this girl's advances?
He Lingchuan was too lazy to confront them, so he returned to his ward and closed the door.
The two children looked at him with confusion. He Lingchuan simply explained to them, "Good children, you should rest well."
The children were skeptical, but He Lingchuan didn't care. He was single now, so what was the problem if he agreed?
As for Shen Yanxi, she should have seen it. This woman's unreasonable behavior is a real headache. If Shen Yanxi asks him about it, he'll have to think of a good way to brush her off.
It wasn't that he felt guilty; he just didn't want to argue with Shen Yanxi over this, because in the end, he would be the one who got annoyed.
After the two children fell asleep, He Lingchuan went out to fetch water and ran into Shen Yanxi.
She blocked the doorway, preventing He Lingchuan from entering: "What's the deal with that girl?"
Shen Yanxi questioned him coldly, as if she had done something wrong.
He Lingchuan turned his head away, somewhat perfunctorily replying, "It's just as you see it, do whatever you want... um."
Shen Yanxi suddenly stepped forward and pressed down on the back of his neck. Before he could react, Shen Yanxi's lips were already pressed against his.
Even after she finished kissing him, He Lingchuan was still in shock from what had just happened.
What are you doing?
He Lingchuan looked around nervously: "This is a hospital, aren't you afraid of being seen?"
He wiped his mouth, a strange feeling rising in his heart: "Besides, our current relationship doesn't seem suitable for doing this."
He Lingchuan's voice was somewhat cold, and he seemed genuinely angry.
Shen Yanxi frowned, dissatisfied with his attitude: "What kind of relationship do we have now?"
She raised her head and stared intently at He Lingchuan, grabbing his collar with one hand: "Tell me about it."
“We’re already divorced. Besides, aren’t you afraid Zhou Mingyan will find out if you do this?”
He Lingchuan lowered his eyes, his gaze sharp. What was she doing? Was she trying to have her cake and eat it too?
"So what if he knows?"
Shen Yanxi was very domineering, pulling him in front of her: "You'd better watch your step in the future, and don't flirt around outside, do you hear me?"
