"I'm sorry, Brother Shizhou. I... I'm just afraid that you will really fall in love with Ningning. After all, she is so beautiful. I'm afraid you will forget me."
Huo Shizhou secretly let out a breath, his tone helpless and tired:
"Anya, Si Ning is my wife. I have been treating her coldly for you all this time. This is not right. We both have our own families. You should look forward and live a good life with Lu Ye."
"Brother Shizhou, do you really not want Xiaoya anymore?" Anya raised her head and looked at his expressionless face with tears in her eyes.
"I told you that you will always be my sister, and only my sister. Don't think too much about it."
"Does your promise to always protect me, take care of me, and put me first still count?"
"It's alright, but you should stop targeting Si Ning. She doesn't deserve these misfortunes. I have wronged her a lot during this period. After all, she is my wife. Can't you be too understanding?"
Seeing that Huo Shizhou favored her so much, Anya stopped pretending to be pitiful and said in dissatisfaction:
"Humph~ Wasn't it because she was so aggressive? If it weren't for her, why would I have gone to jail? Don't you know that I almost died in jail... wuwuwu..."
"I know you've suffered, but Si Ning has had a hard time living with grandma these years."
"She asked for it. Brother Shizhou, have you forgotten what I told you? Si Ning has had bad behavior since she was young, and she is a constant liar. She learned to steal at a young age, and she also hangs out with street thugs and stays out all night. Otherwise, how could her parents be willing to send their own daughter away?"
Huo Shizhou frowned. He just felt that Jian Si Ning's behavior was abnormal recently. Could it be that she had not changed, but had been pretending all those years?
Is her true nature exposed now?
"Brother Shizhou, my face hurts so much, can you apply some on it for me?" Anya said coquettishly.
"I'll arrange for a nurse to come and help you. After all, we are both married now, so we should avoid suspicion to some extent." After Huo Shizhou finished speaking, he turned and left the ward.
For some reason, he felt suffocated when he recalled Jian Si Ning's longing eyes. He recalled the powerful slap he had given her and felt a pang of regret.
"Cool~ Very cool..."
He vaguely heard Jian Sining's voice and looked towards the resident doctor's office nearby. A string in his head suddenly tightened.
At this moment in the office, Chi Ye was applying ice to cool the palm prints on Jian Si Ning's face.
"Be patient, it will be fine in a while..."
"What are you doing?" Huo Shizhou asked angrily in a low voice behind the two of them.
Jian Si Ning glared at him and said in a harsh tone: "You have eyes but can't you see?"
When Huo Shizhou saw the two people being so close and physically touching each other, he still felt unhappy even though he knew they were just touching each other's faces.
He pushed Chi Ye aside and forced himself between the two people: "I told you to go home first, and you came to find him?"
"Huo Shizhou, stop being unreasonable. Is there anything wrong with me finding a doctor when I'm injured?"
"You two, a single man and a single woman, don't you know how to avoid suspicion? Why can't you go outside instead of here?"
Jian Si Ning's face was full of sarcasm: "Huh? Captain Huo also knows that single men and single women need to avoid suspicion? How bizarre!"
"Don't change the subject. You are a married woman. You should keep your distance from other men. This is basic womanly virtue!"
Jian Si Ning sneered and said, "Have you ever told this to your sweetheart?"
Seeing that she hadn't realized her mistake at all, Huo Shizhou raised his voice a little more: "She is she and you are you, can you be compared?"
Seeing Huo Shizhou's aggressive attitude, Chi Ye chose to stop in front of Jian Si Ning: "Captain Huo, in my eyes, Jian Shizhi is just an ordinary patient, you think too much."
"...Um...Aren't they a single man and a single woman?"
Before Huo Shizhou could refute Chi Ye, he saw two more doctors appearing at the desk next to him.
Several people looked at each other, and the atmosphere was subtle and awkward.
Huo Shizhou then realized that he had been a little impulsive, but he did not intend to apologize. Instead, he forcefully pulled Jian Sining away:
"Come home with me and we'll talk."
Jian Si Ning didn't even look at him, but stared at Chi Ye intently, "Who wants to go back with you? I have decided to learn from your sister Anya..."
