Xia Enruo ran out.
Jiang Pei stood up and continued:
"Brother Shaoxuan, I love you, I just like you."
Jiang Pei walked out of the ward and saw Xia Enruo standing by the window in the corridor looking outside. She walked up to Xia Enruo triumphantly.
"Oh, sister-in-law! You've come back at the worst possible time. Shao Xuan said he was thirsty, and we were feeding each other water mouth-to-mouth when you saw us. Shao Xuan's lips are so soft. I felt them for you. You don't mind, do you?"
Looking at Jiang Pei's smug expression, Xia Enruo realized that Jiang Pei seemed to be declaring war on her, but she had chosen the wrong target. She and Gu Shaoxuan had no feelings for each other; she planned to divorce him after his recovery. She hadn't expected Jiang Pei to be so impatient, secretly flirting with Gu Shaoxuan behind her back, and then coming to provoke her.
How can we tolerate this?
Xia Enruo circled Jiang Pei, looking her up and down. Her figure was truly indescribable; the parts that should be large were all small, while the parts that shouldn't be large were all large. Gu Shaoxuan's taste was truly unique.
"Jiang Pei, thank you for serving my husband. Feeding him water mouth-to-mouth is a method most girls have probably never even heard of. But thinking about it, you're different from them. Who are you? A star performer in the arts troupe. You've seen so much! How much per time? I only have 50 yuan here, I don't know if that's enough?"
Xia Enruo took 50 yuan out of her pocket and stuffed it into Jiang Pei's hand. Then, Xia Enruo whispered in Jiang Pei's ear:
"How stimulating can mouth-to-mouth stimulation be? My sister-in-law even..."
Jiang Pei didn't react for a moment. You could say she was slow-witted, and all she cared about was her appearance. When she finally realized what was happening, she took the money and threw it at Xia Enruo.
"You...you dare to humiliate me? You're shameless to say such things to me."
Jiang Pei angrily cursed:
"What a joke. Gu Shaoxuan and I are legally married. We can do whatever we want without going too far. You're the shameless one. As a soldier, breaking up someone's family in front of their wife, only you, Jiang Pei, the star of the cultural troupe, would do such a thing. I think if the military leaders knew that you, Jiang Pei, had this hobby, you'd probably become famous throughout the entire army."
Xia Enruo calmly responded to Jiang Pei's ugly face, feeling a sense of satisfaction at seeing her furious and distorted features. "Little brat, you think you can mess with me? What kind of people haven't I seen in my past life? You think you can cause trouble in front of me?"
Jiang Pei was so angry she was speechless, and turned to leave.
Xia Enruo picked up the 50 yuan on the ground. In her opinion, 50 yuan was more valuable than Jiang Pei.
Qiao Huizhen eavesdropped through the crack in the door. When she saw Jiang Pei leave, she hurriedly came out and went to Xia Enruo's side. From what she heard, Xia Enruo must have caught Jiang Pei and Gu Shaoxuan doing something in the ward.
"Xia, I told you not to listen to your sister-in-law. See how they're keeping things from you! You're taking care of him like a maid every day, they really treat you like a free babysitter. Listen to your sister-in-law and divorce Gu Shaoxuan. Don't worry, Jiang Pei will come to take care of you as soon as you leave. Don't think too highly of yourself!"
Qiao Huizhen was not about to let such a good opportunity slip by.
Xia Enruo felt annoyed whenever she saw her. She was such a troublemaker, unable to stand seeing others do well.
"Qiao Huizhen, just mind your own business and don't meddle in other people's affairs."
Xia Enruo didn't give her a friendly look, retorted, and walked towards the ward.
"Hey, Xia Enruo, you really think you're something special, don't you know how to appreciate kindness!"
Qiao Huizhen called out from behind.
The door to Gu Shaoxuan's hospital room remained open, allowing him to overhear most of the conversation outside. He thought Qiao Huizhen was truly heartless; all his previous trust in her, his decision to go back and cause trouble for Xia Enruo, was a waste. He now felt he deserved to die. Otherwise, why would Xia Enruo always say he never believed her?
Seeing Xia Enruo walk in, Gu Shaoxuan hurriedly explained:
"Enruo, listen to me, our relationship isn't what you see! I..."
Before Gu Shaoxuan could continue speaking, Xia Enruo interrupted him.
“Gu Shaoxuan, I don’t want to hear about what’s going on between you and Jiang Pei, and I don’t care. I’ve told you before that once you recover, I will definitely set you free and divorce you. I, Xia Enruo, mean what I say, so you don’t need to be in such a hurry.”
Gu Shaoxuan felt sad when he heard Xia Enruo say that he never cared.
"You say you've never cared? Is that true?"
Gu Shaoxuan asked.
"Yes, I know you don't like me, and you were forced to marry me. But you took me in and saved me from becoming homeless. For that kindness, I, Xia Enruo, will never abandon you. Don't worry, Gu Shaoxuan. Once you recover, I will never bother you for even a second."
Xia Enruo's words pained Gu Shaoxuan. It seemed that she really had no feelings for him, not even the slightest.
"Alright, whatever you say."
Gu Shaoxuan said.
........................
Jiang Pei was so angry that her face turned red. She hadn't expected to not only fail to gain the upper hand against Xia Enruo, but also to be humiliated for no reason.
"Xia Enruo, that lazy woman, doesn't have a job at all, yet she still has the nerve to talk about herself, even saying she touched Brother Shaoxuan's... you know... she's shameless. Pah! What a country bumpkin."
Jiang Pei grumbled as she slung her small bag over her shoulder, and the people walking towards her all turned to look at her.
"What are you looking at? Never seen a beautiful woman before? Look again and I'll gouge your eyes out."
Jiang Pei returned to her unit. Her comrades could tell from her grim face that she had been humiliated. In the past, she had always been arrogant and domineering, looking down on everyone and bossing everyone around. So what if she had a good voice and could sing a few songs?
Ding Haotian asked Qiao Huizhen what had just happened outside and why she had rushed out.
Qiao Huizhen was overjoyed.
"What else could it be! Gu Shaoxuan and Jiang Pei were having an affair and Xia Enruo caught them! I tried to advise Xia Enruo a few times, but she didn't appreciate it! She deserves it!"
Ding Haotian listened with an incredulous expression.
"Nonsense! Old Gu would never do such a thing."
"Hey, why would I lie to you! I heard it with my own ears. You don't even believe me now."
"It's not that I don't believe it. I know Old Gu. He's the kind of person who wouldn't do something so scandalous. There must be some mistake."
"Ding Haotian, how do you know Gu Shaoxuan wouldn't do that? You can't see into someone's heart. How do you know what he's thinking?"
Ding Haotian was too lazy to argue with his wife. Anyway, he didn't believe that Gu Shaoxuan would do such a thing. They had been comrades-in-arms for so many years. Although he was sometimes jealous of Gu's rapid promotion, he still trusted Gu's character.
