"He Lingchuan is going to pursue a master's degree?"
Shen Yanxi looked surprised and muttered in a low voice, "He never told me about this."
He probably thinks you won't agree.
Zhou Mingyan looked regretful and continued to fan the flames: "I was determined to get it, but I heard that he found someone behind the scenes, so I had no choice but to give up this spot."
He lowered his head, looking dejected.
Shen Yanxi felt a pang of pain in her heart when she saw his dejected expression.
"You wait, I'll get justice for you right now."
"Xixi, no need, I don't want you to suffer."
Zhou Mingyan held his hand, her eyes reddening: "I can't bear to part with you."
His love was expressed verbally, in the cheapest way possible, yet it completely captivated Shen Yanxi.
"He dares."
...
When we arrived at He Lingchuan's ward, the nurse was changing his dressing.
Shen Yanxi watched as she affectionately ruffled He Lingchuan's hair and felt inexplicably annoyed.
"Didn't you say you were here to get bandaged up? Why are you flirting like this?"
His words carried a hint of bitterness, leading He Lingchuan to believe that he was upset and had come to cause trouble for him.
"Is there something you need?"
His tone was cold, and Shen Yanxi swallowed back the words she had prepared.
She originally wanted to check on He Lingchuan and ask about his injuries.
Who knew that He Lingchuan would question him as if he were on fire?
What kind of tone is that? Do I owe you something?
Shen Yanxi was used to being domineering, and her first reaction to hearing He Lingchuan speak to her in this tone was dissatisfaction.
"You can leave if you don't like it."
He Lingchuan didn't even lift his eyelids; this was the first time he had ever treated me with such an indifferent attitude.
This sense of disparity hurt Shen Yanxi's pride, and she raised her voice, her attitude even worse than his: "Don't you know why I'm here? He Lingchuan, tell me the truth, did you ask someone to steal Mingyan's graduate student spot?"
"who?"
He Lingchuan stared in disbelief, pointing to his own face, thinking he had misheard: "You said I found someone to replace Zhou Mingyan?"
He really wanted to pry open Shen Yanxi's head to see what was inside.
Why is she always so unreasonable when it comes to Zhou Mingyan?
"He doesn't deserve me doing this."
He Lingchuan's disdainful gaze pierced Shen Yanxi's heart.
Her competitive spirit flared up, or perhaps she couldn't accept how He Lingchuan treated her, and her tone became even sharper: "Don't think I don't know that you secretly applied for graduate school without my permission."
She questioned him almost as if it were the most natural thing in the world: "What are you thinking? If you go to graduate school, what will happen to the kids? Who will take care of them?"
"Zhou Mingyan, doesn't he really like children?"
He Lingchuan immediately replied, looking up at Shen Yanxi: "Since you all like Zhou Mingyan, then I will give up my seat."
Doesn't he like children? Then give the child to him.
"He Lingchuan, you are the child's father, how can you be so irresponsible?"
Looking at the person arguing with him, He Lingchuan felt a splitting headache.
He rubbed his temples and couldn't help but complain to her, "You have no right to question me."
He stood up, feeling a little dizzy: "I'm tired, I need to rest, you can go now."
"You're kicking me out?"
Shen Yanxi couldn't imagine what her ears were like.
He Lingchuan only clings to her. All along, it has been He Lingchuan who begs her to stay by his side. How dare he leave on his own today?
"I've wanted you to leave for a long time."
When she questioned herself, He Lingchuan wanted him to leave.
"You're just feeling guilty."
Shen Yanxi stepped forward and stared at him intently: "Considering that you were injured for my sake, I can let this matter go today, but tomorrow, you don't need to give me a reasonable explanation."
She made it clear that she was going to stand up for Zhou Mingyan.
"I got into graduate school on my own merit, there's nothing to explain."
His implication was simply that Zhou Mingyan was incompetent.
He didn't care whether Shen Yanxi would be angry or not. He raised his hand, wanting to push Shen Yanxi's shoulder away.
As the pain struck, He Lingchuan felt his body becoming somewhat out of control.
He leaned to one side, trying to avoid Shen Yanxi, but she grabbed his wrist: "Where are you going if you're not going home?"
"Let's go to the hotel."
When Gu Chengze returned, he saw the two of them maintaining this posture.
Shen Yanxi questioned He Lingchuan from a superior position, and upon hearing this, he answered on He Lingchuan's behalf.
"A hotel? You're planning to separate from me?"
Shen Yanxi's voice rose at the end, sounding incredulous.
She took a deep breath and, considering the severity of He Lingchuan's injuries, said softly, "Go home."
This was the first time Shen Yanxi had treated He Lingchuan so gently since they got married.
He Lingchuan paused for a few seconds, then quickly came to his senses: "The hotel is quite nice."
He raised his head, neither humble nor arrogant: "I'll make room for you."
He was clearly mocking Shen Yanxi and Zhou Mingyan.
In front of outsiders, Shen Yanxi was slapped in the face by him: "Don't make me say it a second time. My patience is limited. Go home."
"Why go home? To continue being your free babysitter?"
Seeing that He Lingchuan was really hesitating, Gu Chengze couldn't help but refute Shen Yanxi.
He took He Lingchuan's hand, about to persuade him, when he heard He Lingchuan reply to Shen Yanxi with a blank expression: "I'm not going back."
He turned away, not wanting to look at Shen Yanxi anymore, and reminded her one last time before pushing open the door: "Don't forget about the day after tomorrow."
Shen Yanxi tilted her head, unable to recall what it was about.
However, aside from work and their child, she and He Lingchuan didn't have much communication, so she readily agreed.
"Remember to pick me up, I'll be waiting for you at the company."
He Lingchuan paused, turned around and looked at her.
With just one glance, he could tell that Shen Yanxi had no idea what she was supposed to do the day after tomorrow.
"We're not going to work the day after tomorrow, we're..."
"Xixi? We should go back now, Nanchen and the others are getting impatient."
Zhou Mingyan's lips curled up, his eyes filled with laughter, and he so naturally took Shen Yanxi's hand.
Compared to myself, the two of them were indeed more like a family.
His arrival interrupted He Lingchuan's words.
His reminder just now seemed especially ridiculous.
"Did you get the medicine?"
Shen Yanxi acted as if no one else was around; they weren't even divorced yet, and she couldn't wait to rush to Zhou Mingyan.
He Lingchuan had originally planned to pick her up, but now he thought there was no need for it. Zhou Mingyan would probably bring her here!
Watching the two figures leave, he changed his mind: "I have other things to do the day after tomorrow. Go to the address I sent you yourself."
Fearing he might forget, He Lingchuan reminded her to answer the phone.
"Okay, okay, why are you so talkative?"
Shen Yanxi was a little impatient. In front of Zhou Mingyan, she had never liked He Lingchuan meddling too much.
"Mr. He, do you need to see Xixi the day after tomorrow?"
Zhou Mingyan's gaze shifted between the two of them, somewhat awkwardly: "I have plans to go bowling with Xixi the day after tomorrow, how about you reschedule?"
