Extra Chapter 40: Jealousy Again



After the doctor left, Chu Ruobai sat on the edge of the bed, looking at Song Ning on the bed.

At this moment, Song Ning's long eyelashes framed a porcelain doll-like face that evoked tenderness and affection.

He couldn't help but reach out and touch her cheek.

So soft.

It has to be said that Song Ning is really beautiful, like a porcelain doll. Coupled with her devilish figure and angelic face, she is truly a rare beauty.

"What a pity, sister, if only you belonged to me."

Chu Ruobai looked at her, and couldn't help but reach out and hold her hand, gently kissing the back of her hand.

What a coincidence!

At that moment, the door to the ward opened.

Huo Beian strode in and saw Chu Ruobai bending down to kiss Song Ning. He couldn't help himself and immediately pulled Chu Ruobai away and punched him.

"How dare you lay a hand on my wife? Do you want to die?"

Chu Ruobai staggered to her feet, and only after standing up straight did she reach out and touch the blood at the corner of her mouth.

"You've misunderstood. She wasn't feeling well, so I brought her to the hospital."

"I saw it with my own eyes, how could it be a misunderstanding?"

Huo Beian stepped forward, grabbed his collar, and said aggressively, "Chu Ruobai, what did I tell you last night? How dare you still try to make a move on my wife?"

Chu Ruobai was no longer afraid. "I said I didn't, so I didn't."

At this moment, the sound of the two arguing woke Song Ning up. Song Ning slowly opened her eyes, looked at the two people in front of her, and immediately spoke softly.

"husband……"

Huo Beian hurriedly released Chu Ruobai's collar, rushed forward, squatted down, and took her hand. "Wife, how are you? Are you alright? Tell me, did Chu Ruobai do something to you? Don't worry, I will definitely not let him get away with it."

Song Ning felt completely weak. "I was locked in the dressing room and couldn't get out. I was a little short of breath. Chu Ruobai saved me and took me to the hospital. Husband, please don't misunderstand."

"What?"

Huo Beian looked up at Chu Ruobai in disbelief, while Chu Ruobai was somewhat angry. "Do you believe me now?"

But Huo Beian still sneered, "Then how do you explain seeing you kissing my wife's hand when I came in?"

"What..." Upon hearing this, Song Ning also turned to look at Chu Ruobai.

This guy actually kissed the back of her hand? No way!

Upon hearing this, Chu Ruobai's ears turned red, but she still firmly said, "You're mistaken. I was bending down to cover her with a blanket."

"You saw wrong? Heh, looks like you don't want to admit it? Should I check the surveillance footage?"

"Isn't that unnecessary?"

Song Ning quickly tugged at him, "After all, he saved me, so let's not go too far."

Seeing his wife say this, Huo Beian decided to back down, "Okay. Then I'll listen to my wife."

He turned to look at Chu Ruobai, "For the sake of you saving my wife, I'll stop pursuing you. Now get lost."

Chu Ruobai clenched her fist, but still turned and left.

After all, if I stay any longer, I'll just be a third wheel.

He wouldn't stoop to being a third wheel.

Huo Beian felt a pang of heartache looking at Song Ning's pale face.

"Honey, it breaks my heart to see you like this. Why was the dressing room locked for no reason? Did someone do it on purpose?"

Huo Beian felt that things were not so simple, and he planned to find time to investigate thoroughly.

"It must have been done by someone. After all, I went inside and came out to find myself locked up. If it wasn't done by someone, there's no way to explain it."

"By the way, honey, what brings you here? Weren't you in a meeting at the company?" Song Ning nestled in his arms.

"I felt my eyelids were twitching, which made me feel unwell, so I decided to come and see you."

Huo Beian held her tightly in his arms. "Luckily I came. Otherwise, who knows what Chu Ruobai would have done to you. I guess he got the door to the dressing room."

“It can’t be him. I believe him.” Song Ning stood up. “Actually, I suspect Li Muzi more. She’s the second female lead and has always been jealous of me. She’s also opposed me many times before.”

"Li Muzi?" Huo Beian recalled the actress he met when he arrived at the film set. He guessed it was Li Muzi, and she was the one who showed him the photo of Chu Ruobai holding Song Ning.

Looking back now, how could she have those kinds of photos? Unless she had been staking out the area, it would have been impossible to take such photos.

Now it seems that woman had ulterior motives. She deliberately misled him.

"Yes. Last time, she even sabotaged the wire work, trying to make me fall while I was suspended by wires. Luckily, I saw through her scheme, otherwise I might have miscarried from the fall." Song Ning quickly complained.

"How could this woman be so vicious? Don't worry, wife, I won't let Li Muzi get away with it. She will get what she deserves."

After saying that, Huo Beian took out his phone and called his assistant.

"Could you find Director Zhu Pi's phone number for me?"

Soon, his assistant sent it to him on WeChat.

Huo Beian then called Zhu Pi, who was getting on his nerves. Zhu Pi, the director, was overjoyed to hear that the richest man, Lian Sicheng, was actually calling him personally.

"Mr. Lian, is there anything I can help you with?"

"I want you to kick Li Muzi out of the film crew."

“What? This is a bit difficult. You know, Li Muzi’s father is an investor. He invested 20 million yuan and brought his own capital into the project.”

"Hehe, then I'll invest 50 million. I'll definitely kick Li Muzi out."

Zhu Pi immediately chimed in on the other end of the phone, "Okay, okay, who would turn down money? I'll get on it right away."

Huo Beian thought of something and called his assistant again, "Help me check Li Muzi's father's information. The sooner the better."

Soon, his assistant sent him a document.

Huo Beian quickly glanced at the information and discovered that Li Muzi's father, Li Da, was actually a civil servant who later went into business and became wealthy. He currently runs more than a dozen chain stores—Da Run Li Supermarket.

He immediately sent a message to his assistant: "Immediately acquire all of RT-Mart's nationwide chain stores."

The assistant hesitated, "Mr. Lian, acquiring a supermarket is such an important project, we need to discuss it with the board of directors. We're afraid the shareholders might have questions."

"It's alright, I'll take full responsibility. Just go and get it done."

"good."

After hanging up the phone, Huo Beian hugged his wife again, saying, "Don't worry, wife, Li Muzi will be finished soon."

"Honey, it has to be you. You're my biggest support. I just need to protect you and I can rest easy."

"That's right. A wife doesn't need to be subjected to unspoken rules; she just needs to love her husband well. I am your greatest asset."

After saying that, Huo Beian lowered his head and kissed her lips. Song Ning also hugged his neck tightly, and the two kissed.

The kiss was long.

Huo Beian pressed her down, carefully. But she pushed him away, saying, "Husband, be careful of the baby in my belly."
