Just then, the screen lit up with a ding; the message was from Yin Cheng…
The air seemed to freeze, and the scene appeared to stand still.
Sang Qing and Nie Xin stared at each other blankly for a while.
Immediately afterwards, they moved with lightning speed and rushed to grab the phone!
However, Nie Xin had an injury to her shoulder, and the quick-thinking Sang Qing snatched it away first.
Sang Qing was clever and mischievous. Knowing that his phone used facial recognition, she waved it in front of him after grabbing it, and the screen clicked open!
She suddenly jumped away, getting eight feet away from him!
Just as Nie Xin struggled to get out of bed to stop her, she had already listened to all of Yin Cheng's voice messages:
"Brother Xin, shouldn't you be awake by now?"
"Brother, please get up! The young prince has been worried about you these past few days, and you really have the nerve to keep going!"
"Even if you're going to put on an act, could you at least go to another hospital? Removing a bullet is clearly a minor surgery, but you haven't gotten out of bed for three days. If outsiders find out, they'll think there's something wrong with the Yin family's medical skills! Oh, by the way, I've shifted the blame to the anesthesiologist. When you wake up and tell the young prince, don't let it slip!"
Beep, the voice message has ended.
Nie Xin also got up and stood motionless by the bed like a plaster statue.
Sang Qing waved her phone, and suddenly, a strange smile appeared on her lips...
Nie Xin reacted instantly and quickly twisted her body, "Ouch, my shoulder...it really hurts."
"Mr. Best Actor, is it your shoulder that hurts, or your back?"
"Um?"
"You've been lying down for three long days, haven't you developed calluses on your back yet?"
Nie Xin forced a smile as she looked at Sang Qing.
Sang Qing took a deep breath, the gentleness in her eyes disappeared, the docile kitten was gone, replaced by a little leopard with sharp teeth and claws!
After a long while, a deafening roar erupted in the ward:
"Nie Xin—"
The actor closed his eyes. It was over. The scene was over. No matter how much he acted now, it would be useless.
Sang Qing became emotional and listed his crimes in detail:
"Three days! I worried about you for three whole days!"
"Do you know how I've been these past three days? Every single minute felt like I was being roasted on fire! I was terrified you wouldn't wake up, and I felt so guilty... I blame myself for always being a burden to you, even taking a bullet for me just to attend a banquet!"
"I even thought that if anything happened to you, I would... I would go with you!"
"Nie Xin, you're actually telling me now that you're playing me?! How can you bully me like this? Do you really think I'm stupid, or do you think it's fun to bully me?"
Nie Xin was stunned by her outburst, and felt like crying but had no tears.
"No, Sang Qing, let me explain..."
He wanted to take her hand.
Following the typical formula of romance dramas, at this point the female lead would definitely shout, "I don't want to hear it! I don't want to hear it!" and then push him away...
Well, he hadn't figured out what to explain anyway.
And you can also take advantage of the pushing and shoving to pretend that she pushed your shoulder, and you can get away with it!
"Sang Qing, Sang Qing, let me explain!"
"Okay!" Sang Qing crossed her arms and stared at him with her big eyes. "Explain!"
"..."
What do you mean by "explain"?
Why is it not following the script again?
"Speak up, what do you want to explain?"
Nie Xin gasped.
"Very well!" Sang Qing laughed instead of getting angry, took out the wedding rings and threw them at him, then gritted her teeth and said those two words, "Liar!"
"Sang Qing, I'm not lying! I just... overdid it."
"You're still trying to deny it!"
"I... I just wanted to make you worry a little! I didn't expect it to take this long. If you don't believe me, look at my chat history with Xiaocheng!"
Sang Qing's eyes widened; so there were records to check!
Nie Xin wailed inwardly, "Why do I speak without thinking when I'm in a hurry?"
Sang Qing sneered twice, and sure enough, she found the chat history and listened to every single one of Yin Cheng's previous voice messages!
Nie Xin looked utterly hopeless. She plopped down on the bed and slowly collapsed as if she had lost her soul.
"Stop pretending." Sang Qing glanced at him. "Even if you're really in pain, I won't believe you!"
"clear……"
"I need to go back to the palace to rest now." Sang Qing turned her back on him. "Mr. Movie Star, you should take care of your injuries yourself!"
After saying that, Sang Qing ran out without looking back.
Nie Xin was listless and tried to turn over, but his shoulder wound throbbed with pain. After struggling for a while, he finally managed to turn over, only to feel something pressing against him from below.
Upon touching them, I found they were indeed the two diamond rings.
He took it out and examined it carefully in his hand.
The two diamonds, one large and one small, are perfectly cut from any angle and shimmer with extraordinary brilliance.
But at this moment, it looks as if the person is grinning and mocking him.
He was fed up. He stuffed the ring under his pillow, put one hand across his forehead, closed his eyes, and sighed softly.
Three days later, Nie Xin was discharged from the hospital and went home to recuperate.
He was already in good health, and with Yin Cheng's superb medical skills and the first-rate efficacy of Yin's medicine, he recovered quickly. As long as he avoids touching the wound and uses his injured arm sparingly, he can still take care of himself in daily life.
He's been sullen these past few days, and his whole demeanor has lost its luster.
Even the household servants noticed something was wrong and discussed it privately:
"Is our young master perhaps rejected by the young prince?"
"How could that be! Our young master is so outstanding, every woman in Southeast Asia wants to marry him!"
"But all the men in Southeast Asia want to marry the young princess!"
"Arguing for the sake of arguing!"
"I'm not trying to be mean, but take a closer look at our young master's fingers... He has one ring on his ring finger and another on his little finger, but it's only halfway on. Who would be so strange as to wear both men's and women's diamond rings on one hand?"
At this moment, the old butler came over, coughed heavily, and everyone scattered.
The old butler looked at the dejected young master Xin by the fishpond and shook his head helplessly.
"Young Master," he walked over and said in a low voice, "Miss and Young Master are here. Would you like to see them?"
Nie Xin's eyes lit up, and she immediately perked up, scattering the last handful of fish food into the pond.
Soon he saw Jiang Can and Huo Zhixing in the living room, and the two had brought their son with them. Little Junyu was fair-skinned, chubby, and handsome, and was especially lovable. The maids all surrounded him, vying to give him delicious treats.
Nie Xin glanced at Huo Zhixing and chuckled, "Just watch, your son will be far more charming than you in the future!"
"You're quite charming, but in the end, you still end up like this?" Huo Zhixing teased. "Is this the first time in your life you've acted like this? How does it feel?"
"Alright, that's enough!" Jiang Can chuckled and patted him on the shoulder, then looked at Nie Xin. "We're here today to ask you what you plan to do. If there's anything we can do to help, we definitely will!"
