Bai Ning cast a pleading look at Xiang Jin.
"Honey, could you go check on Mom for me? I'll come find you later," Xiang Jin said casually.
Suddenly, the person who was reading the magazine looked up. His gaze was sharp and fixed on Xiang Jin, making Xiang Jin feel uncomfortable all over, and his ears gradually turned red.
After a long while, he put down the magazine, said "okay," and turned to leave the ward.
Bai Ningshuang jumped out of bed in a flash, grabbing Xiang Jin's hand tightly: "What should I do? What should I do? They proposed to me! Ajin, please teach me what to do!"
A marriage proposal? From them?
This is quite a lot of information.
It turns out that Gu Feiyang sought out Bai Ningshuang during the day to propose marriage.
He said that it didn't matter if she couldn't have children in the future, he was willing to take responsibility, and he would take responsibility if Bai Ningshuang wanted him to.
This undoubtedly shows an intention to take responsibility, but without any emotional connection. He ensures Bai Ning's financial security for the rest of her life, but he is irresponsible when it comes to her feelings.
This is the maximum he can do.
"Who does this child really like? You're turning down such a good person," Xiang Jin wondered.
Bai Ningshuang obediently shut her mouth and didn't say anything.
"What did you say to him later?"
“I told him to go to hell, I would rather die than marry him, and to get as far away from me as possible.”
Xiang Jin: "..."
Well, a marriage without an emotional foundation certainly cannot be forced.
After Gu Feiyang left, Sun Yanqing came again. It was as if they had made an appointment; as soon as one left, the other immediately arrived, and they both brought up the same thing.
Sun Yanqing said he didn't care about her past or whether she could have children in the future. If she liked him, they would get married after she was discharged from the hospital.
Upon hearing this, Bai Ningshuang hesitated.
The day she argued with Sun Yanqing, she actually chased after him to explain, and then she saw the flowers in the trash can by the door, and the card inside the flowers.
Shuangshuang: With you by my side for the rest of my life, good things will come in pairs.
It was a very corny sentence, but it moved her to tears.
But would a family like the Suns, with their financial situation, want someone from an ordinary family like her? Besides, their family has had only one son for three generations, so it's impossible for them not to have a child.
Bai Ningshuang was in a dilemma.
Sun Yanqing then asked her, "If you like someone surnamed Gu, then I have nothing to say. But if he can't shoulder this responsibility, then you should marry me, and I'll take care of the rest, okay? I'll give you two days to think about it, and I'll come back to ask you for your answer in two days."
Bai Ning's heart fluttered, her heart fluttered deeply.
But she was afraid she wouldn't be able to give him the answer he wanted.
She didn't want to ruin him.
"Shuangshuang, this mainly depends on your own feelings. If you want to be with Yanqing, then just say yes and we'll talk about it when we encounter difficulties; if you're willing to try with Feiyang, that's also a new option. If you don't choose either one, that's fine too, I'll take care of you."
"Then I'd rather not choose either of them. I'd rather you support me." She chuckled.
"But I'm afraid Lord Xiao is going to kill me. Look how closely he watches me; his possessiveness is ridiculously strong," Bai Ning complained.
Xiang Jin blushed.
"If you're willing, he definitely won't have a chance to gossip, believe me."
"Oh my, this is such a sudden dose of dog food! Are you trying to kill me? She's even calling him 'husband' now, look at how worthless Xiao Ye looks." She said with a touch of emotion, never expecting that A Jin would actually win over Xiao Ye, hahaha, she's really capable. From now on, she'll be the friend of the richest man in China, the kind of person who can walk around the streets with her head held high, who will she be afraid of!
Xiang Jin's face turned even redder, the redness extending all the way to her ears.
"Tsk tsk tsk, you people in love... hopeless."
…………
After returning home from the hospital, Xiang Jin was immediately pinned against the wall as soon as the bedroom door closed.
The man groped her all over, making her legs weak, and even blew into her ear: "Try calling out again."
"What?" Xiang Jin feigned ignorance.
Someone said softly, raising their hand to grasp her chin: "You've forgotten so quickly? Looks like I'll have to help you remember."
He reached into her clothes, which made her skin crawl. She begged for mercy, saying, "I was wrong, I was wrong, Murong Xiao, I was wrong, I'll scream, I'll scream."
He stopped what he was doing and waited quietly.
Seeing how serious he was, she suddenly couldn't bring herself to call out to him...
"No rush, take your time." He coaxed her gently, his warm lips landing on her ear, then her face, then her eyebrows and eyes, and then her lips.
Unable to resist his teasing, she quickly went limp and soft. He took the opportunity to pick her up and carry her to the bed.
Half an hour later...
"Honey, I was wrong, I was wrong, please forgive me..."
"I'm not coming anymore, I'm so tired, I'm sorry, I'm going to sleep..."
Then she tilted her head and actually fell asleep in his arms.
…………
Jiang Anqing's surgery is scheduled for next Wednesday.
Next Wednesday will be the day when Xiang Jin returns to work with full focus.
After considering it for a few days, she decided to resign first, accompany Jiang Anqing to receive treatment, and paint more when she had time. She would deal with the future later.
During this period, she released a series of paintings titled "Adversity," "Umbrella," and "Rain," which caused quite a stir in the art world. "Umbrella," in particular, interpreted the meaning of protection and a haven from a unique perspective. This painting received high praise, and after it was learned that she was the same artist as "Light," the discussion intensified. The entrepreneur who had previously purchased "Light" was immediately offered 14 million yuan to buy it, but he refused them all.
At this point, the painter who made the unfinished steamed bun has become a household name.
Thanks to the support of "Light", the three paintings "Adversity", "Umbrella" and "Rain" were almost sold out immediately. Xiang Jin also quickly earned a considerable income. She calculated that the buyout plus commission amounted to about ten million yuan.
The money came in so fast that it felt unreal to her.
Unlike other art forms, the essence of many painters and masters' works is only grasped after their deaths. This is because art has a delayed effect; it is not easy to resonate with audiences and achieve widespread popularity. Most painters fail to resonate even after their deaths.
Xiang Jin was incredibly lucky; once the news was released, it went viral across the entire internet.
She became a hot celebrity in the art world.
Many people tried to get in touch with her through Hengjia, wanting to meet her or have a meal with her, but Xiang Jin refused them all.
She still doesn't like socializing, and she especially dislikes socializing with strangers.
After thinking it through, she sent a message to Xu Jianshen, telling him that she wanted to resign. Xu Jianshen tried to persuade her to stay and asked to meet with Xiang Jin. Xiang Jin thought about it and agreed.
"See you at the company then." If Xu Jianshen agreed, she could pack her things and leave.
Xu Jianshen: "OK".
