Upon seeing me, Fu Yanshen's fierce aura subsided somewhat, his face darkened, and he even appeared self-righteous.
I clenched my fists and quickly went down the stairs to Muye. He was bent over, clutching his lower abdomen, and gasping for breath, looking like he was in a lot of pain.
Fu Yanshen never holds back when he strikes, and this blow might cause Mu Ye internal injuries.
I turned around angrily, glaring at him. "Fu Yanshen, apologize to Xiao Ye!"
Mu Ye grabbed my wrist. "Sister Qiao, I'm fine. It was just a punch. Don't be angry."
Fu Yanshen's face darkened, and he pointed at Mu Ye behind me, "This kid said disgusting things to provoke me."
"Xiao Ye wouldn't provoke you for no reason! Fu Yanshen, don't think I don't know that you were the one who suddenly arranged the announcement for Mu Ye. When being gentle didn't work, you resorted to force!" I retorted sharply.
His expression hardened, his jaw tightened, and his cheekbones strained against his thin skin. He looked furious that I had hit the nail on the head.
I knew it! It was that scheming dog who arranged for Makino to be the finale of the show!
"Sheng Qiaoqiao, you don't believe me!" Fu Yanshen actually accused me angrily.
What does this have to do with whether you believe it or not? The point is, he bullied Makino again!
I narrowed my eyes, my gaze piercing him. "Are you going to apologize or not?"
He scoffed, a smirk playing on his lips. "I'm being lenient by not killing him with one punch."
After saying this, he glared fiercely at Muye, as if threatening or warning him, and then turned and went up the steps.
That bastard hasn't changed at all!
If he doesn't apologize to Makino, he can forget about me ever talking to him again!
With a "bang," he slammed the fire door shut.
Mu Ye shook my arm. "Sister Qiao, don't be angry. Don't argue with him for my sake. Aren't you afraid he'll take advantage of you like before?"
“He won’t.” I blurted out.
Fu Yanshen's approach to me has changed. I believe he will no longer force me or exploit my weaknesses like before.
I was worried about Makino, so I called his bodyguard and assistant to go with him to the internal medicine department for a checkup. After they took X-rays and confirmed that his internal organs were not injured, I felt relieved.
Makino had a bruise on his lower abdomen and had been lying on the sofa in my hospital room getting alternating cold compresses.
As evening approached, I closed my laptop, and Makino sat up from the sofa.
"It's good to drink bone broth after a fracture. I'll ask Brother Meng to buy some. Sister Qiao, what else would you like to eat?"
This kid is very good at taking care of people.
"Let's keep it light for dinner, just two vegetable dishes will be enough. Add anything else you'd like—"
Before I could finish speaking, I caught a glimpse of a figure outside the small window on the ward door.
Although I couldn't see his face, I could tell it was Fu Yanshen.
How dare he even show his face?
Fortunately, I had locked the ward door.
Pretending not to see, I sat down on the sofa and asked Makino with concern, "Does it still hurt?"
Makino lifted his hoodie, revealing his lean waist, clearly defined eight-pack abs, and the ends of his sexy V-line disappearing into the waistband of his jeans.
"It still hurts a little."
"Apply it again, don't let it affect tomorrow's press conference," I said casually.
There was a knock on the door. I looked over and saw the person outside holding up a thermal lunchbox, gesturing to me through the glass window.
Fu Yanshen hasn't left yet; he must have been outside the whole time.
He even brought me food.
That's shameless.
I ignored it.
I ate the food that Makino's bodyguard brought with me.
"Sister Qiao, I'll stay and take care of you tonight."
As Makino spoke, he walked to the wardrobe.
He stayed to take care of me?
"Ono, go back. There are caregivers here." I said in a slightly serious tone.
For the past two years, he has been by my side, taking care of me and encouraging me, during my postpartum period and when I attempted suicide.
Makino frowned slightly, looking thoughtful.
"Let's go, it's getting late," I urged him.
After giving me a few instructions, he left.
Just as I was about to close the ward door, someone pushed it forcefully from the outside. I smelled a familiar male scent and frowned. "Fu Yanshen! Don't come in—"
He had already forcefully squeezed in. I took two or three steps back and glared at him unhappily. "Get out!"
The man was tall and straight, wearing dress pants, a white shirt, a dark plaid vest, and a tie, with a handsome face that had an indifferent expression.
Thinking about how ruthless he was when he beat Muye, one word popped into my head: a refined scoundrel.
He still looked very unhappy, his dark eyes fixed on me without saying a word.
Why should he be unhappy?
"Fu Yanshen, are you leaving or not?" I asked with a stern face.
His Adam's apple bobbed, he turned his face away, clenched his fists, and looked at me again, "I'll take care of you so you can rest."
The tone was slightly stiff.
I can tell now that he's angry with me, but he also wants to stay and take care of me.
He hit me, didn't apologize, and is still angry with me?
I put on a cold face and said, "No need. If you don't leave, I'll call security."
Fu Yanshen was taken aback, then frowned in annoyance. He pursed his lips, looking restrained and patient. "You favor that kid and don't believe me, I'll tolerate it."
"Let's put this aside. Is it wrong for me to stay and take care of you?"
He also felt wronged.
“I deliberately sent you out to buy milk tea this morning. I didn’t want my friends to see that I still had something to do with you, and that you had another conflict with Makino… Your presence here has caused me more trouble than it has helped me.”
I said it very calmly and ruthlessly.
Hearing my words, Fu Yanshen's eyes flashed with surprise and hurt, and his chest heaved. "Sheng Qiaoqiao, you, you just take advantage of my love to wantonly abuse me."
I didn't answer. I walked to the door of the ward, opened it for him, and turned to him, gesturing for him to get out.
This scene seems familiar.
Back then, he also kicked me out of the house so that he could deliberately fall down the stairs and frame my childhood sweetheart.
I'm not trying to get revenge on him, I just want to cut my losses as soon as possible.
Fu Yanshen walked over here. Now that things had come to this point, he was so proud, if he didn't leave, he wouldn't be himself.
To my surprise, when he came to my side, he pulled my hand off the doorknob, and the ward door closed automatically.
Fu Yanshen raised his hand and put it on my shoulder. I took a step back to avoid him.
"I was wrong, I apologize. From now on, no matter how much that kid provokes me, I won't touch him." His voice was low. "You only have one arm that you can move. It's inconvenient and dangerous without someone to take care of you. What if you fall and cause further injury..."
I was surprised to hear his words. I didn't expect him to not slam the door and leave, but instead apologize to me.
She only bowed her head because she wanted to stay and take care of me.
I remained resolute, my face expressionless. "Fu Yanshen, I'll say it again, I don't need you to stay and take care of me."
Fu Yanshen hesitated, wanting to say something but then swallowed it back, and walked to the door.
"I'll find a reliable female caregiver to look after you." After opening the door, he turned to look at me and said loudly.
