Chapter 94 A Nest of Snakes and Rats
She asked the question and then realized that Huo Xianyang was still standing next to her.
She waved her hand: "You can leave now, we don't need you here."
Huo Xianyang: ...
I'm so angry.
When you need him, treat him like a driver, a part-time worker, or a human massager.
No need, just wave him away.
They come when summoned and leave when dismissed.
But I'm just that pathetic.
She beckoned with her finger, and he came running over excitedly.
Huo Xianyang was furious, but he was only angry at himself.
"Then...I'll bring you dinner." He could only get up and ask her, "What would you like to eat?"
"What can Ruanruan eat in this condition?" Xiao Ruoyi rolled her eyes at him: "Bring her something nutritious and easy to digest."
"Okay, I understand."
After Huo Xianyang left, Lin Xiyin looked at Xiao Ruoyi and said, "Why did you treat her like that? It was so impolite."
Xiao Ruoyi didn't take it to heart: "What's wrong with this attitude? Alright, if your throat hurts, then talk less."
With Xiao Ruoyi's arrival and Pei Muyi and Chi Tianlin, those two troublesome men, gone, Lin Xiyin could finally relax.
Lin Xiyin was resting, while Xiao Ruoyi was working with her laptop.
The ward was quiet all afternoon.
Lin Xiyin's stomach rumbled twice, very softly, so Xiao Ruoyi didn't hear it; only Lin Xiyin herself felt it.
She said, "Yiyi, I'm hungry."
"Hungry?" Xiao Ruoyi raised her hand to check her watch. "Huo Xianyang is a good-for-nothing, he hasn't even arrived yet!"
It's actually still early.
Lin Xiyin said, "Why are you swearing again? What time is it? Who eats dinner so early?"
"What do you want to eat? I'll go buy it." Xiao Ruoyi took out her phone: "I'll see if there are any decent restaurants nearby and have them deliver it over."
Lin Xiyin said, "I want to eat meat, I really want to eat braised pork."
"Are you kidding me? You can't eat that right now." Xiao Ruoyi scrolled through her phone; "I can barely eat a lean meat porridge."
Lin Xiyin licked her lips: "So tempting."
“You’re a patient now,” Xiao Ruoyi said ruthlessly, crushing her hopes. “Wait until you’re better before you eat.”
"Alright," Lin Xiyin compromised, "then let's have meat porridge."
As Xiao Ruoyi was scrolling through her phone looking for a restaurant, there was a knock on the ward door; it was Pei Muye.
He carried a three-tiered mahogany food box and said to Xiao Ruoyi, who opened the door, "I've come to deliver the food."
"Perfect timing." Xiao Ruoyi put her phone in her pocket and took the food box. "Ruanruan is hungry, thank you."
Pei Muye didn't let him in: "Let me in."
Xiao Ruoyi blocked the doorway, her hand on the food box: "What are you going in for? Ruan Ruan will get angry if she sees you."
“I’ll take care of her meals,” Pei Muye said. “I’ll leave after she finishes eating.”
"Do you think I'm dead?" Xiao Ruoyi said, "I can take care of you."
Pei Muye simply wouldn't let go.
Xiao Ruoyi was no match for Pei Muye's strength. After struggling for a while, the food box was still in Pei Muye's hands.
"You're making demands just for delivering food!" Xiao Ruoyi snapped, letting go of her hand. "Go away, I'm not eating yours!"
He was about to close the door after saying that.
Pei Muye carried the food box in one hand and used the other to prop open the door.
"What are you doing?" Chi Tianlin's voice suddenly rang out: "Pei Muye, you're not going to hit Xiao Ruoyi, are you?"
Xiao Ruoyi looked up and saw that Chi Tianlin had arrived, also carrying some things.
Seeing her look over, Chi Tianlin raised his hand and said, "I'm here to deliver the food. May I come in?"
In Xiao Ruoyi's opinion, Chi Tianlin was no good either.
These two men are birds of a feather.
"The food can stay, but there's no need for you to leave." Xiao Ruoyi leaned forward and asked him, "Is that alright?"
Chi Tianlin asked, "He can't go in either?"
Xiao Ruoyi said, "Of course!"
“Okay.” Chi Tianlin handed over the things in his hand: “Then you must tell Ruan Ruan that I brought the food. Also, this is her phone.”
Chi Tianlin made a special trip back to the school to pick it up.
Xiao Ruoyi took it, beaming, "You're much more sensible."
Then look at Pei Muye, his face has turned dark.
Xiao Ruoyi readily agreed: "Alright, we have food now, so there's no need to fight you for it anymore. President Pei, let go, I'm closing the door."
Pei Muye wouldn't let go: "Lin Xiyin is my wife. She's sick, so it's only right that I take care of her."
"Don't try to reason with me." Xiao Ruoyi wasn't buying it. "You two are getting a divorce soon, what kind of couple are you? Ruan Ruan gets angry just looking at you, and her illness is delayed by several days."
Pei Muye's expression darkened further.
Chi Tianlin added fuel to the fire: "Some people shouldn't flatter themselves. They think they're very popular, but they can't even get through the door."
Xiao Ruoyi took the opportunity to close the door.
Carrying the food that Chi Tianlin had brought, she said to Lin Xiyin, "Let me tell you, don't let Pei Muyi's appearance soften your heart."
When Lin Xiyin said that Pei Muyi had truly reformed, Xiao Ruoyi simply smiled and understood what she meant.
Now, Lin Xiyin smiled again and said, "What does it matter to me how he is?"
"That's right." Xiao Ruoyi was very satisfied: "I was just afraid that you would soften your heart and give him another chance."
Lin Xiyin shook her head.
As Xiao Ruoyi took out the food, she said angrily, "Pei Muyi and Chi Tianlin both came to deliver the food, but that bastard Huo Xianyang didn't send a single word. He can't even handle such a small matter!"
Chi Tianlin delivered two meals, one light and one more substantial.
Xiao Ruoyi said, "Chi Tianlin seems unreliable, but I didn't expect him to be so capable."
Lin Xiyin sat up, and Xiao Ruoyi placed a small dining table on her bed and set out the food.
Lin Xiyin said, "Don't be prejudiced against people, whether it's Chi Tianlin or Huo Xianyang."
Xiao Ruoyi scoffed and handed her the chopsticks: "Let's eat."
Outside the door, Pei Muyi stood there motionless, clearly not intending to leave.
Chi Tianlin said, "What, aren't you leaving yet? Still waiting for Lin Xiyin to change her mind? No way! She's determined to divorce you!"
Pei Muye turned to look at her, his gaze icy: "Even if you divorce me, do you think she'll be with you? She knows better than anyone what kind of person you are."
"What kind of person am I?" Chi Tianlin sneered, "Isn't it all just your words that make things up? I believe Ruan Ruan will see for herself what kind of person I am."
Before Pei Muye could say anything, Chi Tianlin spoke again.
He said, "Why are you so eager to attack me? What, are you scared? Scared that Ruan Ruan will like me? Pei Muyi, you've finally met your match."
"Ruan Ruan must be blind to like you." Pei Muye said coldly, "Also, you're not allowed to call her by her nickname anymore!"
"Oh my, who are you? Who is Ruan Ruan to you? Just because you say I can't call you that, I can't? We're getting a divorce, why are you still so concerned? How can you be so good at making yourself look good?"
Chi Tianlin's words pierced Pei Muye's heart like a knife.
This is the ultimate way to kill someone by destroying their spirit.
But what he said was true.
He has no right to interfere with Lin Xiyin now, and he will have even less right to do so in the future.
Therefore, he absolutely cannot get a divorce!
Yes, Lin Xiyin is carrying his child.
This was his last bargaining chip.
“Lin Xiyin is not only my wife, but also the mother of my child.” Pei Muye said, “If President Chi has so much free time every day, he might as well do charity work. What kind of skill is it to stare at other people’s wives and children?”
Chi Tianlin felt that he didn't have those kinds of feelings for Lin Xiyin, but he also knew that being with Lin Xiyin, even without doing anything, was enough to make Pei Muyi feel uncomfortable.
That's why he appeared in front of Lin Xiyin again and again.
Anything is acceptable as long as it disgusts Pei Muye.
After years of fighting, it was rare for the two to have something that could make Pei Muye suffer a setback, so Chi Tianlin was naturally happy to do it.
But no matter what, the two are not divorced yet.
Chi Tianlin was ultimately in the wrong.
However, since Xiao Ruoyi had just taken his meal, and he had won again today, he didn't bother arguing with Pei Muyi and turned to leave.
Pei Muye lowered his eyes and looked at the food box in his hand, feeling an indescribable sadness in his heart.
Even though they're not divorced yet, Lin Xiyin is already so resistant to him.
After they divorce, will Lin Xiyin still see him?
When Huo Xianyang arrived, he saw Pei Muye standing at the door of the ward.
"President Pei," he greeted politely.
Then, he saw the food box that Pei Muye was carrying.
He was also there to deliver food, and couldn't help feeling a little awkward: "Why isn't President Pei going in?"
Pei Muye gave him a cold look, then turned and left.
Huo Xianyang raised an eyebrow, not knowing what was wrong, but he couldn't care less about that, so he stepped forward and knocked on the door.
"Could it be that Pei Muyi's ghost is still haunting us?" Xiao Ruoyi walked over and flung open the door: "Are you ever going to stop...?"
Then I saw the person standing at the door, it was Huo Xianyang.
"So you finally decided to come!" Upon seeing who it was, Xiao Ruoyi was furious. "Do you want us to starve to death?!"
As soon as Huo Xianyang entered, he smelled the aroma of food.
"I'm so sorry, there was a bit of traffic on the way, so I'm late." He asked, "Have you eaten yet?"
Xiao Ruoyi replied irritably, "By the time you arrive, everything will be too late! Nothing will get done!"
Seeing Huo Xianyang's slight embarrassment, Lin Xiyin quickly spoke up, "I was hungry, and it just so happened that President Chi brought over some food. Attorney Huo, thank you so much for making the trip despite being so busy."
"No rush," Huo Xianyang said quickly. "Is that enough? I have more here."
The food he brought was divided into two portions, one for Lin Xiyin, which was rather light.
The other dish was made entirely according to Xiao Ruoyi's preferred taste.
The portion that Chi Tianlin sent was also quite lavish.
But clearly, Xiao Ruoyi preferred to eat at Huo Xianyang's place.
She directed Huo Xianyang to set out the food and then brought out a few small dishes for Lin Xiyin.
Lin Xiyin said, "That's enough, I can't eat that much."
"Try a little of everything," Xiao Ruoyi said. "If we can't finish it, there will be leftovers."
After she finished speaking, she looked at Huo Xianyang again: "Next time, you should discuss with Chi Tianlin and make sure not to send the same thing twice, it's a waste."
Huo Xianyang nodded hurriedly.
Lin Xiyin asked, "Has Attorney Huo eaten?"
Huo Xianyang shook his head: "Not yet."
"Let's eat together," Lin Xiyin said. "There's so much food, Yiyi can't finish it all by herself."
Huo Xianyang went to see Xiao Ruoyi looking pitiful.
Since Lin Xiyin was there, Xiao Ruoyi at least gave him some face: "Please sit down."
Huo Xianyang sat down happily.
Xiao Ruoyi said, "You should be glad you're lucky that the food you received can be placed here. Some people, however they came, they'll go back the same way."
Huo Xianyang thought of Pei Muye, whom he had just seen, who was indeed carrying a lunchbox.
They came to deliver food, but couldn't even come in through the door; it's pathetic.
