This feeling was all too familiar to her. It had been the sign before every heart attack since she was a child.

She looked up at herself in the mirror, her face slightly pale. She slowly raised her hand, her eyes empty and weak.

Could it be that...

"Xixi, are you okay?"

Suddenly, a gentle voice was heard outside the door. Rong Xi paused, randomly grabbed a piece of paper to wipe the water off his face, and straightened his clothes. The pain and throbbing in his chest also subsided little by little.

She calmed down a little, took two deep breaths, opened the door, and looked at the elegant figure standing outside: "What's wrong?"

"Are you okay?" Shi Qingxun looked at her slightly pale face and asked again worriedly.

"No, what's wrong?" Rong Xi smiled and asked in a nonchalant manner.

"You looked unhappy just now, so I thought you were feeling unwell." Shi Qingxun looked at her face and pursed his lips: "If you feel unwell, remember to tell me, don't try to be stubborn."

"Yes, I know."

"Put your hand out." Shi Qingxun glanced at her in silence for a while, then slowly opened his mouth to gesture.

"what?"

"Let me help you take a look."

Rong Xi's heart moved slightly: "I'm really fine, Brother Qingxun, since... you don't like me, then don't be so nice to me, and don't care about me so much, giving me the illusion that you like me. What I need is not your concern as a brother. I have a brother, and he cares about me too, that's enough."

"If you meet a girl you like in the future, or want to marry another girl, don't tell me. I won't attend your wedding. Please don't try to shake my heart. You are not caring about me, but hurting me. You keep rubbing salt into my wounds. I am already hurt enough. I don't want to be hurt anymore. From now on... let's not meet again."

There was an unprecedented seriousness in her sweet and soft voice. After she finished speaking, she did not give him a chance to speak, but walked straight past him. When she reached the corner of the living room, she relaxed all over, but tears were welling up in her eyes.

God knows how many times she had practiced what she just said, and how much courage she mustered to say it without any expression.

She slowly lowered her eyes, glared at her heart, raised her hand to touch it, wiped away her tears, and whispered to comfort herself: "Rong Xi, you can do it, you must not look back, just like this, behave well, since it doesn't belong to you, then you have to leave cleanly and unrestrainedly, don't hesitate and hurt yourself and him."

After returning to the dinner table, Rong Xi just lowered her head and ate silently, not participating in their conversation, but when Su Yang and Tao Anwen called her, she would look up and respond.

After eating, they only sat for about twenty minutes. Because they didn't want to disturb Su Yang's rest, they left the hospital with the garbage from their lunch.

Su Yang didn't want to take a nap, so he stood by the windowsill, opened the window, and let the autumn wind blow in slowly, without feeling cold.

She didn't know how long she stood there, before a dark shadow appeared behind her. A coat was draped over her shoulders and wrapped around her waist. She tilted her eyes slightly, and a handsome profile appeared in her peripheral vision.

"Isn't it cold?"

Rong Zhan rested his chin on her shoulder and looked at the scenery outside the window with her.

"You woke up so early in the morning, do you want to sleep in for a while and catch up on your sleep?" Su Yang tilted her head slightly and leaned on his.

"Will you stay with me?"

"Well, no, no. I just had a nap this morning. If I continue sleeping now, I will suffer from insomnia at night. Besides, I eat and then sleep, and then eat. If I stay here for a few days, I will probably gain several pounds." Su Yang shook his head in disgust and refused, complaining in a low voice.

"It would be better if you gain some weight." Rong Zhan gently pinched her belly: "Look at how thin you are. People who don't know would think I'm abusing you. Your workload at the TV station has been reduced now. When are you going to give it up and leave?"

"I was just chatting with Fang Zhiheng. I have already found someone to take over the show 'Idol Descends'. I will be able to completely withdraw from it next month. However... I heard from Fang Zhiheng that the station is planning to produce a travel and slow-paced variety show, and it is currently in preparation."

Su Yang thought for a while, then turned to look at him: "If this program is okay, I plan to cooperate with the TV station on this new project, Journey. Fang Zhiheng will go to City A with PD Shen in a couple of days to look at the venue. If it's okay, the place will be almost decided, and then we will enter the preparations."

"In City A, our Su Group has a resort that is almost ready for development. It has everything from restaurants to entertainment. It was a project Su Huai started last year and is nearing completion this year, but it was shelved due to funding issues."

"You want to advertise that resort on the show to increase its popularity?"

"Well, I've seen the plan for the resort, and it's pretty complete. I think it will take Fang Zhiheng at least one or two months to prepare. I can invest some more money and perfect some of the details, and then we can have a dream connection."

"It's a good idea that you have. Have you discussed it with Fang Zhiheng?"

"Not yet. I plan to return to the capital to discuss this with him in detail."

"This matter should be dealt with sooner rather than later. Since they have already chosen a place, let's go talk to him directly in the next two days." Rong Zhan pursed his lips and thought for a while: "It's not convenient for you to be away from home now. Ask Shi Han to go to the TV station and rewrite a plan and hand it over to them. Let's integrate the plan and see how this variety show can be developed better."

"Okay, it should be morning in China now. Today is Wednesday, Shi Han should be up by now. I'll call Shi Han now."

Su Yang was a practical man. Once he had an idea, he would put it into practice. He stepped out of his arms, gathered his coat, and walked towards the sofa in the living room: "Close the window for a while, then go and catch up on some sleep. Let me use the computer for a while."

Rong Zhan looked at her back, sighed helplessly, and glanced at the scenery outside the window.

This wife is a workaholic! She can abandon him for work in a minute.

What could he say? Just bear it in silence.

After closing the window obediently, he walked to the door and looked at the beautiful figure outside who had already started working: "Work moderately, don't tire yourself out, and use your eyes carefully. You just woke up today, so it's not appropriate to overwork. Call me if you need anything, I'll get some sleep first."

"Okay, go to sleep."

Su Yang raised his eyes, made an OK gesture, quickly retracted his gaze, and answered the call with Shi Han.
