That noon, Guan Ming suddenly arrived at the hospital.
He was carrying a large pile of fruit and gifts, and seemed a little reserved. It took him a while to speak before asking Xiang Jin how her injury was.
"Thank you, it's all over now," Xiang Jin wrote.
Fearing his identity would be exposed, Xiang Jin didn't let his warehouse colleagues come to see him. No one knows how he found out, but he came alone.
Since he was a guest, Xiang Jin couldn't send him away. She only hoped that he could leave the hospital before Feng Jianian arrived, so that he wouldn't keep calling her Xiang Jin and arouse Feng Jianian's suspicion.
“If you need anything, you can tell me, I…” Guan Ming looked at her with concern, his face slightly red.
"Thank you, my husband will take care of me, so I don't need anything," Xiang Jin wrote.
Guan Ming remained silent.
He seemed a little sad, and it took him a long time to speak: "Xiang Jin, you don't need to make up excuses to reject me."
"I know I'm not outstanding, my conditions are average, and my looks are average, but if you're willing, I will definitely work hard to give you a better life."
“I won’t mind that you’ve been to prison. I’ll let you manage all the money I earn and make your life less stressful. I have two houses under my name, one for our future children, and the other can be put in your name.”
He seemed to have mustered his courage: "Xiang Jin, I... I'm not very good at talking, but you understand what I mean, right?"
"I'm sorry, she doesn't understand." At that moment, Feng Jianian suddenly appeared at the door.
He strolled into the ward, placed his things on the coffee table, his gaze sweeping over Guan Ming before finally settling on Xiang Jin: "Are you hungry? I brought some food."
Xiang Jin was stunned.
"This is...your friend?" Guan Ming asked Xiang Jin, moving the stool next to him toward Feng Jianian. "Come sit down, don't be shy."
Feng Jianian narrowed his eyes slightly.
What? He's become a guest now that he's been gone for a while?
"Aqi, aren't you going to introduce this person to me?" Feng Jianian walked up to Xiang Jin.
Xiang Jin finally came to her senses and quickly wrote: "My colleague, Guan Ming. Guan Ming, this is me—"
“I am her husband.” Feng Jianian greeted Guan Ming, looking him directly in the eye.
Guan Ming was stunned. It took him several seconds to react, and he quickly and awkwardly looked away.
"I'm sorry, I misunderstood. I... I have something to do, I have to go now." He said softly to Xiang Jin on the hospital bed, and then left in a panic.
The ward returned to silence.
"Who is he?" Feng Jianian remembered that this was the same man who picked her up in the parking lot of the Fengrong Building last time. This man...
The man's eyes darkened slightly, revealing a barely perceptible hostility.
"They're just colleagues," Xiang Jin explained again, silently relieved.
Fortunately, Guan Ming didn't call her Xiang Jin, otherwise the mistake would have been exposed.
"Heh, Aqi's colleague is quite interesting, actually willing to put your name on the property deed." He chuckled lightly, his tone and expression somewhat strange.
Xiang Jin: "..."
"Are all of Aqi's colleagues this interesting?" He buried his head in his lunchbox, twisting it with large, rattling motions, as if he were venting something.
Xiang Jin was even more embarrassed: "...No, they just heard I was injured and bought some things to come and see me, that's all."
"Oh?" Feng Jianian turned around and saw a bouquet of pink roses on the table. It seemed that this colleague had bought them.
"You actually bought flowers. But the color is too ugly, so let's not spoil the scenery here." He smiled leisurely, stood up briskly, and threw the flowers into the trash can.
Xiang Jin was shocked and felt extremely distressed: "...Um, he didn't buy the flowers."
The flowers were bought by both of them... She loved them... She pointed to the fruit and gifts on the table, saying that these were the ones he had bought.
"Oh?" The person paused for a moment, then threw the fruit and gifts into the trash can.
Xiang Jin: "..."
What is she even saying... I'm completely defeated by myself.
I'm impressed.
……………………
That evening, Guan Ming called Xiang Jin.
"I'm sorry, Xiangjin. I didn't know you were really married. I'm sorry for causing you trouble." His voice was somewhat low, and he seemed to be in a bad mood.
"I won't contact you again. I hope you're happy." After a long silence, he said this again and then hung up the phone.
Xiang Jinmo.
In fact, Guan Ming was a really good person. He took good care of her when they were in the warehouse. Even after her past imprisonment was exposed, he still treated her the same as usual, without prejudice or deliberate defensiveness. In her heart, Xiang Jin was actually very grateful to him.
But it was just gratitude.
A little while later, a text message came in: "I know this might upset you, but I've thought about it a lot and I still can't help but tell you. If you're ever having a hard time, please remember that I'm always here for you."
Just as I was watching it, my phone was suddenly snatched away.
Feng Jianian glanced at his phone, looked it over, and said casually, "Aqi, you should get a new phone." Then, he tossed the phone back to him.
"I'm sentimental." Xiang Jin felt a little guilty and looked down to continue reading the text message.
Huh, where's the text message?
She shook her phone and pointed to the screen, as if to say: Did you delete it?
"What, is Aqi planning to respond to him by having an extramarital affair?" He narrowed his eyes and suddenly moved closer to her.
Faced with his face so close, Xiang Jin felt a sudden, inexplicable breathlessness. She avoided his gaze, took a step back, and shook her head vigorously.
Of course not, absolutely not!
She was just asking casually!
"That's good. Ah Qi, remember your place and don't associate with unimportant people." He whispered in her ear, his warm breath and the way his voice stirred her heartstrings, making her inexplicably tense up.
Fortunately, he didn't stay long; after saying that, he went to wash the fruit for her.
Xiang Jin wiped the sweat from his forehead.
His aura was terrifying just now, completely different from his usual self. What's going on?
Never mind, maybe he had a bad day at work, so he's in a bad mood. She should be more understanding and not upset him.
……………………
After staying for another half month, Xiang Jin was ready to be discharged from the hospital.
Feng Jianian was worried that her hand hadn't recovered and wanted her to stay for another month. To prove that she was alright, Xiang Jin specially performed a set of bare-knuckle punches and carried several bags of things to show that her hand had fully recovered.
Feng Jianian narrowed his eyes: "Looks like he can do any kind of physical labor."
Xiang Jin was full of confidence and high spirits: "Yes, I can do any kind of physical work! Absolutely no problem!"
She was already planning to go back to work tomorrow.
I'm going to starve if I don't go to work soon.
The two packed their things, took a ride in a three-wheeled vehicle, and returned to Fengjia Village in the evening.
