Chapter 8989 Go Away
-
Having achieved his goal, Chen Jiabai casually tossed his phone aside, looking thoughtful. Seeing that she was preoccupied, he neither asked nor tried to stop her.
Whether or not we get back together isn't that important. It's true that it's embarrassing, but it's not like I can't live without her. I have too many choices. If we're mutually interested, things can develop. There's no need to force it.
"You should go back; it's likely to rain later."
Wen Yining opened the ward door, feeling utterly exhausted, her mind a jumble of thoughts, struggling to process the news she didn't want to hear. Her steps were slow, and her hands and feet were ice-cold.
The phone in my bag was vibrating.
I didn't answer. I don't want to answer anyone's calls. After a short break, it started vibrating again.
The sound was muted on set, and it's already 11 PM. They've all finished work and gone back to their hotels to sleep, so they're probably not staff members.
As I passed by the next ward, I glanced at it subconsciously. The door was closed, and I could vaguely hear girls talking. I didn't know if it was a nurse or Shi Yingmeng.
Lost in thought, I heard an unexpected noise; the door was pulled open from the inside.
Shi Yingmeng was somewhat surprised to see her. Her expression froze for half a second, and her heart began to race as she scrutinized her. Her right hand remained on the handle, while her left hand gripped the chain of her bag, as she sensitively caught a crucial detail—
She has the same bag as Wen Yining, which was also bought by Shen Yueze.
Shi Yingmeng's gaze swept from her face to her whole body. She wore a cool, strappy long dress, silver flip-flops, and had slender ankles and shoulders. Her skin was pale and cold. Her gaze then moved upwards and saw that she was tall with long legs and a very thin figure. Her arms and legs were thin.
Her long, black, curly hair was slightly disheveled, she was almost makeup-free, expressionless, and extremely indifferent. She seemed to be in a bad mood, yet she gave off a striking and stunning aura.
I had seen the photos on her phone before; Geng Chutong had sent her quite a few. She was even prettier in person than in the photos.
She spoke first: "Wen Yining?"
She knew this man no less than her former rivals had known her.
Geng Chutong gossiped with her about Wen Yining's personality, family background, major, how many boyfriends she had dated, and how far she had progressed with Shen Yueze...
She wasn't the first person to put effort into a guy like Shen Yueze, nor was she the first to act as a detective.
She remembered and cared about all the girls who got close to him, and then used every means to search for information about them, and then looked for any clues about him.
Shi Yingmeng continued, "You should know me, right?"
She believed that other girls would do the same; even the least sensitive person wouldn't be very carefree around Shen Yueze.
That intense unease, that feeling of having your loved one coveted, can only be experienced when you become his woman.
However, it's also great to have a guy who's someone else's object of affection, not just for the financial and emotional benefits, but also for the psychological ones.
It's probably similar to following a celebrity, except that male celebrities have millions of fans and it's impossible for them to even be alone with one, while Shen Yueze still gives her a chance to get close to him.
Wen Yining stopped in her tracks and met Ying Meng's gaze. As this person sized her up, she was also observing him. They had never met before, yet he didn't seem unfamiliar at all.
A little puzzled and confused, but surprisingly calmer than before, she said, "Hmm."
Shi Yingmeng then pushed open the ward door, and without leaving, she opened it wide, saying in a very inviting tone, "You've come to see him, haven't you?"
She looked in the direction Shi Yingmeng was pointing as she opened the door. Shen Yueze got off the hospital bed and was heading to the bathroom. She met his gaze directly in the direction of the door. His gaze was gloomy, rather cold, and somewhat expected.
Shi Yingmeng said to him in a natural tone, "I ran into him as soon as I came out."
Seeing that she seemed a little resistant, Shen Qiyan got up from the sofa and said, "Come in."
In the strange and awkward atmosphere, she came in, her gaze falling on him again. She was wearing loose shorts, her upper body bare, with bruises no less than Chen Jiabai's, and tape from an IV drip on the back of her hand.
The most obvious mark was the scratch on his nose, which made him look weak and sickly, but he was still excessively handsome.
Not knowing what to say, she sat down and asked dryly, "How's the recovery going?"
Wen Yining originally didn't want to come to see him today, nor did she want to run into Shi Yingmeng, or even see any of the girls who were interested in him.
Curiosity is one thing, but as long as it doesn't disturb her life, one can pretend not to see it. It's impossible to control what's going on in someone's mind.
He leaned against the hospital bed, his long legs stretched out, and snorted coldly, "Thanks to you, I almost got crippled by Chen Jiabai."
"?"
That's an exaggeration, isn't it? Didn't his older brother say it was a minor injury?
Shi Yingmeng didn't interrupt, but she was also quite curious about how they got along. She quietly went to the bathroom to wash some fruit, returned to the chair next to the hospital bed, picked up a fruit knife, peeled the orange, cut it into pieces, and put it into a plate on the table.
He carefully advised, "You can have a late-night snack, but avoid spicy food for now."
Shen Yueze said nonchalantly, "It's not like I'm having surgery, it's just a superficial wound."
"It will have some impact, so it's best to bear with it and wait a few days."
Her voice was gentle and her tone was natural.
The meals that Shen Qiyan had his family send over were healthy, but too bland. He preferred strong flavors and found them unsatisfying. For people like him who love spicy food, a meal without spice is meaningless.
Wen Yining noticed that she was busy in the room, very familiar with it. She knew exactly where the fruit was, where his coat was, and where his medicine was. She didn't seem like someone who had only stayed for a few tens of minutes to visit.
Instead, it seemed like they came specifically to take care of him. They even cut oranges for him and probably remembered what the doctor told him to eat and what he couldn't eat.
To be fair, Shi Yingmeng's face is good enough to enter the entertainment industry; she has fair skin, a beautiful face, and very pretty eyes.
She wore a V-neck preppy short-sleeved top with a fitted waist, paired with a navy blue mini skirt. She had a slim waist, long legs, and great style; the kind of person who would attract a lot of attention on the street.
She has no luxury items, her hairstyle is simple—long, straight black hair—and she's completely without makeup, yet every move she makes is captivating.
She wore a niche chain on her wrist with no discernible brand, and carried a black Chanel bag, which she placed on the sofa.
The neckline of this dress is low, and every time I bend over, I can clearly see my cleavage.
She had also seen many girls who were interested in him, with a few flirtatious words and tests, and of course, there were also girls who knew he had a girlfriend but still tried to seduce him.
However, he was quite indifferent, so the other party didn't leave much of an impression on her.
Shi Yingmeng shouldn't be anything special, otherwise they wouldn't have reached the point of breaking up.
She always comforted herself with this reasoning, but when Chen Jiabai said he gave her a large river-view apartment as a breakup gift, this reasoning completely lost its effectiveness.
My heart ached, and I felt so suffocated that I could hardly breathe.
She took a deep breath, her chest heaving, and looked away, wanting to question him, to argue, and even to yell at him.
Shen Qiyan didn't participate in their conversation. He sat alone on the sofa, crossed his legs, and replied to work messages without urging them.
However, Shi Yingmeng had already sensed that he wanted Wen Yining to break up with him.
I handed her a bottle of mineral water. She already had one, given to her by Chen Jiabai. She unscrewed the cap and took a couple of sips. Her stomach was empty. She had finished dinner around 4 p.m. and started filming, so she hadn't had time for a late-night snack.
Shi Yingmeng then said to him, "I'll go downstairs and buy you some food."
After getting up, she glanced at the two of them, her expression somewhat worried, but she didn't say anything else. Based on her understanding of Shen Yueze, Wen Yining was indeed the type he liked.
However, a playboy like him could never tolerate his woman being entangled with other men, so he wouldn't last long.
Even without his older brother stopping him, it was clear that the relationship between the two was nearing its end.
-
When Shi Yingmeng left the ward, an eerie silence returned.
The nurse on duty brought him a new remote control, saying, "The batteries have been changed."
"Hmm." He took it, changed the channel, and adopted a lazy and relaxed posture.
The nurse asked with concern, "If you feel unwell, remember to call me at night. But I think you're recovering quite well, so just be careful not to engage in strenuous activity."
"Um."
The nurse glanced at Wen Yining a few more times, her expression subtle, probably wondering why she had been replaced. She then scanned Shen Yueze's bare upper body before hurriedly leaving.
She then recalled the nurses' casual conversation when she first arrived, and suddenly felt speechless.
He attracts attention in public, but even at the hospital, the nurses who give him injections have to guess whether he has a girlfriend and which one is her.
Wen Yichuan was right; he's the kind of person who's born to seduce women.
Even though he was in a hospital bed, there was still a woman with big breasts and a slim waist showing him her cleavage.
He got out of bed, gave her a cool glance, and went into the bathroom.
Wen Yining sat on the sofa next to the hospital bed, silently observing his injuries. He walked a little slowly, but his gait was no different from before.
He closed the bathroom door, and after a couple of seconds, let her in.
Wen Yining subconsciously turned her head to look at Shen Qiyan, her expression indifferent, as if she hadn't heard him, and continued to handle the work at hand.
She thought for a moment, then got up, figuring he wouldn't get aroused here, since his older brother was still there.
The door wasn't locked. Once inside, she was filled with resentment. "Why didn't you let your brother in if you had something to say?"
His expression was indifferent. "Untie me."
"You can't do it yourself?"
Wen Yining looked down and saw that it wasn't a complicated belt, just a pair of casual pants with drawstrings. Pulling one of the drawstrings would open the pants, revealing a slender waist with light blue veins, which made her look very sexy.
There were still scratches left by her on the side, which had faded a lot. Just by looking at his figure, one could imagine the details of those few nights of indulgence. He certainly had the ability to make people's imaginations run wild.
She asked deliberately, "Who helped you when I wasn't here?"
"What do you think?"
...
She didn't want to stay inside too long and cause her older brother to misunderstand, so she slammed the door shut behind her when she came out.
He looked at his older brother with an unnatural expression, who was still typing in the chat box, as if it were a normal occurrence, or perhaps he understood his younger brother's lewd nature.
The wards in the private hospital were extremely clean. They were single rooms, spacious, and decorated in a style similar to a hotel, unlike the cold and impersonal atmosphere of public hospitals.
Then, I heard the sound of water flushing, the sound of him washing his hands.
Shen Yueze sat back down on the hospital bed and said calmly, "I just came out of his room."
She paused for a moment, then said, "Yes."
"Are you that worried about him? You just finished work late at night, didn't even have time to eat, and rushed to the hospital to see him, right? Are you afraid I'll hurt him too much?"
Wen Yining remained silent, her heart heavy with worry, especially about giving someone a house.
"That's right, it's all between the two of us. He didn't do anything, but you dragged him into it and beat him up for no reason. Isn't he innocent?"
It's obvious who started it. He's so foul-mouthed, saying whatever he wants without considering other people's feelings, only caring about his own pleasure.
In comparison, Chen Jiabai is not the type to provoke others, and he is not as aggressive as Chen Jiabai.
He scoffed coldly, his face darkening. "While you two were chatting in his room just now, he called me, deliberately letting me overhear you two flirting."
She jumped up, her bag falling to the ground with a loud clatter. She went to his bedside and retorted, "When did we flirt? Stop talking nonsense! I did go to see him, I arrived around 10 pm and left in less than 20 minutes. What could we have done?!"
After a moment of silence, he stared at her coldly, not saying a word for a long time.
Then I picked up the remote and muted the TV.
Shen Qiyan didn't intend to get involved. Before leaving, he calmly advised, "Don't argue in the hospital."
She restrained her emotions, trying to calm herself down. She didn't want to appear impulsive, flustered, or overly concerned, and she especially didn't want him to know that she had fallen for him.
Only those who truly had fantasies and hopes for him would be disappointed.
Twenty minutes ago, she told Chen Jiabai seriously that she never wanted to see him again.
But when he stood before him, face to face, gazing into his emotionless eyes, he wavered once more.
She was slightly stunned, unwilling to leave like this, unwilling to break up with him like this.
She knew he was also suppressing his emotions; too much had been building up—deception, concealment, suspicion…
There's far more than just this one thing.
"Then let me ask you, how did Shi Yingmeng know you were hospitalized? You came in no time, and she was there to take care of you. Everyone at the hospital said she was your girlfriend."
He said casually, "My brother told her, or she found out from someone else."
"You can get back together with her. It's your freedom to be with whomever you want, and it's mine too,"
"But the premise is that we have to break up our sexual relationship."
It almost came out of her mouth, filled with resentment. She didn't know why; she hadn't originally intended to say these things. She wanted to make up and continue this relationship with him.
But her body seemed to be out of control; she helplessly raised her hand to brush her hair aside, her eyes filled with resentment and helplessness.
He said mockingly, "You spent so much time talking to Chen Jiabai just for this, right? Just to break up with me and then go back to him? Do you think he's sincere right now?"
"It doesn't matter whether he's sincere or not. Even if he's just playing me, what's the difference between being played by someone else and being played by you?"
"A while ago, you were obsessed with getting back together with him, and there was also Shi Yuheng. You could treat any guy at a drinking party as a backup option."
“You know I have many choices, but I haven’t considered them. When I’m with you, I haven’t thought about anyone else for a second. She’s come to me so many times, have I ever called or texted her back? After I blocked her, she continued to ask Ye Qingchi and the others.”
"..."
Her expression was blank, and her breathing was labored.
"How she asks others is her business, it's none of my concern. But if I sleep with someone else behind your back, I can understand if you want to make a fuss."
She was speechless, her body stiff, her back covered in a thick layer of sweat, her palms were cold, her face was pale, and an indescribable bitterness welled up inside her.
A few seconds later.
He said, "Get out of here."
"..."
"Let's see what kind of person you can find after you leave me."
She managed to squeeze out, "Definitely better than you."
Then he picked up his bag from the ground, left the room decisively, his nose stinging with tears, and didn't say another word.
As Shen Qiyan had expected, after everyone left, he came back in and glanced at his gloomy expression. "Do you two often fight like this? Do you ever get back together afterward?"
Shen Yueze told him to get lost too, and lit a cigarette in a frustrated mood.
-
When I took the elevator down to the lobby, I realized that it was pouring rain, and the air was damp and stuffy.
It might have rained a while ago, but people weren't paying attention outside. It's been muggy for two days, so it's probably time for it to rain.
My phone battery was low, and I hadn't had time to charge it while on set, but I could still hail a taxi.
There were missed calls from Shi Yuheng.
And then there was the message he sent: "Your assistant said you went out, late at night. You probably went to see Shen Yueze."
You two scored this time, right?
...
She wasn't stupid; she could sense what this person was thinking. Shen Yueze probably figured it out a long time ago.
But I don't like this type.
"How come you came out so quickly?"
Shi Yingmeng noticed her from afar as she carried the packed late-night snacks; her height and demeanor were outstanding.
There was no one on the first floor of the inpatient department at this time. The main door was wide open, the rain was pattering, the air was thick with moisture, and the air was very humid.
Wen Yining snapped out of her reverie, put down her phone, concealed her feelings of loss, and replied calmly, "Mm."
Shi Yingmeng stared at her reddened eyes, as if she had just been crying, and asked in bewilderment, "In such heavy rain, didn't he arrange for someone to take you home?"
Not only did they refuse to see her off, they also told her to get lost.
"I'll take a taxi."
Judging from the late-night snacks she brought, they must have been bought nearby, and probably according to Shen Yueze's taste.
"Oh, then be careful."
"..."
Then Shi Yingmeng turned around and entered the elevator. From behind, she had long, slender legs and a good body proportion.
She looked away, left the inpatient department, and waited for her car listlessly, her face as pale as a ghost.
-
Once upstairs, Shi Yingmeng opened the food packaging and smelled a faint odor of smoke. "Don't smoke," she said.
Knowing that he wouldn't listen anyway, she sighed softly, guessing that he was annoyed and had nothing to relieve his boredom.
The atmosphere was heavy, his expression gloomy, and he leaned back casually, changing channels and ignoring her.
Before leaving, she asked Shen Qiyan curiously, "What happened to them? I just ran into Wen Yining downstairs, and she seemed to be crying."
Shen Qiyan only had time to visit him in the evenings, and he would be discharged from the hospital tomorrow. He explained casually, "We broke up."
"So fast?"
She thought it would take some time, and that Shen Yueze would still like this one; she had only dated two people in total.
"This is the perfect time for you to get back together with him."
Shen Qiyan realized that Wen Yining was not as easy to control as Shi Yingmeng. His younger brother was not suitable for that kind of girl at all, otherwise they would be arguing all the time. He was just young and had the energy to cause trouble. When he matured, he would know to find someone who was obedient.

-----------------------
A note from the author:
Aside from personality flaws, there was another obvious external reason, but I haven't gone into detail about it.
With your looks, you must have hundreds of guys liking you [laughing and crying emoji]
It's no exaggeration to say that this is true for female celebrities, but of course, the quality isn't very good [laughing and crying emoji]. Whether rich or poor, good men are extremely rare and not readily available.
Chen Jiabai was already the best among the choices she made.
There are men who act like simps, but she doesn't like them; she prefers someone assertive.
Similarly, Shen Yueze encountered even more temptations (none of which are detailed in the text, but she had seen them and knew them very well).
They both know how many people are eyeing the other, it's really too difficult for them to get along. [Sigh]
