He Lingchuan removed the needles, got up, and left.
Shen Yanxi opened her arms to stop him, and their bodies collided. He Lingchuan staggered, feeling weak all over, and almost fell down with Shen Yanxi.
"He Lingchuan, are you really sick?"
When Shen Yanxi touched his skin, she found that he was burning up.
She tried to pick him up, but she was too weak and it was all in vain.
"What happened?"
The nurse rushed over and frowned when she saw this: "Why didn't you get out of bed by yourself? Didn't you say you'd wait until the medication was finished before leaving?"
Her gaze fell on Shen Yanxi: "And who are you? Don't you know he's sick?"
Shen Yanxi stood there, stunned and at a loss for what to do.
"I want to be discharged from the hospital."
He Lingchuan stood up, supporting himself against the cabinet next to him: "Process my discharge papers."
According to them, I should stay here for at least three or four more days.
He couldn't bear it, mainly because he didn't want to be under the same roof as Shen Yanxi, not even in a hospital room.
"He Lingchuan, if you dare to leave this ward, I will immediately halt our collaborative project."
Shen Yanxi's sharp voice became even shriller. He Lingchuan staggered to the door and stopped, turning back to look at her with a furrowed brow: "What did you say?"
Their project is currently underway, and if Shen Yanxi stops it at this time, the loss will not only be time, but also more than 100 million yuan.
"That project is almost finished, how could you..."
"If you don't want the project to stop, stay here."
He Lingchuan was puzzled for a moment. He frowned and a question arose in his mind.
But then I felt it was impossible.
Shen Yanxi only brought Zhou Mingyan over for a check-up and took a quick look at him. If it weren't for Zhou Mingyan, she would never have discovered her.
He pursed his lips, almost pleading, "Can't you just leave me alone? Can't you just stop interfering with me?"
He didn't understand why he had lost his freedom after getting married. Hadn't they gotten divorced? Why was Shen Yanxi still so possessive of him?
Shen Yanxi walked up to her, her eyes softening for a moment.
She raised her hand and touched her head as she used to, a gesture that always made He Lingchuan very happy.
This was one of the few tender moments between them.
Now, however, he feels ashamed.
"You just focus on getting better, and I'll send someone to pick you up and take you home, okay?"
"We are already divorced."
He Lingchuan couldn't help but remind her, "Aren't you afraid Zhou Mingyan will be angry if you take me back?"
"I will make arrangements so that you will not meet."
Shen Yanxi's answer was perfectly reasonable.
He Lingchuan bit his lower lip tightly, thinking he had misheard: "You really want to support two men?"
"He Lingchuan, don't talk about yourself like that."
Shen Yanxi's eyes suddenly turned serious: "You are the father of my child. If you don't go, who will? Do you really want Zhou Mingyan to take care of your child?"
"So you feel sorry for Zhou Mingyan?"
Ultimately, she couldn't bear to let Zhou Mingyan take care of the child alone.
He Lingchuan saw through his intentions and felt a dull pain in his heart. He waved his hand and sent Shen Yanxi away.
“I’ll find someone to take care of you.”
She didn't know what illness He Lingchuan had, but he definitely couldn't stay here alone.
"unnecessary."
He Lingchuan spoke coldly, giving off an impression that he was unapproachable.
"You still..."
Before Shen Yanxi could finish speaking, Zhou Mingyan suddenly appeared at the door: "Xixi, my test results are in, and everything is fine..."
"real?"
Shen Yanxi's attention was instantly drawn to him, and he seemed to have forgotten why he was there in the first place.
She got up and walked towards Zhou Mingyan, looking at the medical report in his hand: "It's good that you're alright, it's good that you're alright."
She touched Zhou Mingyan's face, completely disregarding how unpleasant He Lingchuan's expression was.
"Let's celebrate, let's celebrate that you're safe and sound."
The two of them chatted and laughed, and even before leaving, Shen Yanxi didn't look back at him once.
He Lingchuan stared in their direction until Shen Yanxi completely disappeared from his sight before he came back to his senses.
"What does she mean by this? Does she care about me?"
Besides this, he couldn't find any other reason to convince Shen Yanxi to let him go home.
Only this reason could make him feel a little better.
...
After being discharged from the hospital, He Lingchuan went home first.
Shen Yanxi keeps his word; he really will stop the project.
This was his life's work, and he would rather compromise himself and submit to Shen Yanxi than let this project stop.
He had painstakingly prepared dinner when he happened to run into Shen Yanxi returning from outside.
"Thanks for your hard work."
Shen Yanxi's voice was very cheerful, indicating that she was very satisfied with his return.
only……
He Lingchuan looked her up and down; it was the same outfit she was wearing yesterday, unchanged.
Did she not come home all night?
He Lingchuan's lips moved. He didn't want to ask these questions, but he couldn't control his thoughts: "Weren't you home last night?"
"Ah, I had some things to do yesterday and stayed at a friend's place."
friend?
"Is it Zhou Mingyan?"
He Lingchuan regretted saying those words the moment he finished speaking. Why did he care so much?
The most important thing now is to make Shen Yanxi happy and continue the project they are working on together.
"Are you better now?"
Shen Yanxi's unspoken meaning was that she was complaining about his talkativeness.
This time, He Lingchuan wisely kept quiet.
He prepared the bowls and chopsticks and handed over an exquisite gift box.
"Thanks for your hard work."
He Lingchuan didn't take it, and Shen Yanxi couldn't help but urge him, "Take it."
"What is that?"
"I think this latest style tie would suit you very well."
Is she trying to make amends to him?
He Lingchuan opened it, glanced at it, and then placed it on the bar counter.
He never wore a tie; a tie felt like a lock binding him, and he felt uncomfortable with it.
He had been married to Shen Yanxi for so many years, and he didn't even know this.
He Lingchuan took a deep breath to suppress his dissatisfaction and anger, planning to leave after they finished eating and cleaned up.
Upon hearing the door open, He Lingchuan's palms suddenly became sweaty.
This was right when the children were getting out of school, and he was a little nervous, even more worried about how the children would react if they saw him.
"Mom, we're back..."
Nan Chen's expression changed the moment he saw He Lingchuan, and He Lingchuan took his schoolbag.
"Give the schoolbag to Dad."
Why are you here?
Nan Chen threw his schoolbag on the sofa and scrunched up his face.
"Nanchen, how can you talk to your father like that?"
Shen Yanxi's reprimand was just for show; He Nanchen wasn't afraid at all.
"Mom, why isn't Uncle Zhou here? Didn't you promise Uncle Zhou would be our dad?"
