Chapter 424 Break up with Lin Xiaoyue, or get a divorce
Seven o'clock in the morning.
Qi Mingxuan's hand, which was being held by Ji Lin, twitched slightly.
Ji Lin, who was lying by the bed, suddenly opened his eyes and immediately withdrew his hand.
Qi Mingxuan's eyelashes trembled, and she slowly opened her eyes.
He gradually regained consciousness.
"You're awake. How are you feeling?"
Qi Mingxuan stared at Ji Lin, her mind still a little sluggish from just waking up.
She stared at Ji Lin for a long while before frowning and asking, "Ji Lin?"
Ji Lin laughed, "It seems I haven't changed much; you can still recognize me."
"When did you return to China?" Qi Mingxuan turned her head and glanced around, then looked at Ji Lin again. "And how did I get here?"
"You got too much sun at the construction site yesterday, and you developed a high fever after you got home..."
Ji Lin explained the situation from yesterday to Qi Mingxuan truthfully.
After hearing this, Qi Mingxuan raised her hand and touched her forehead. "I think I'm fine now."
"Fortunately, he was taken to the hospital in time. He will be hospitalized for two more days for observation. If there are no other symptoms, he can be discharged."
Qi Mingxuan nodded and asked, "You didn't leave last night?"
“I was originally here to make rounds, but…” Ji Lin hesitated for a moment and said, “Han Mingyu suddenly had an urgent matter to attend to, and he asked me to stay here and watch over you for him.”
Qi Mingxuan smiled but didn't say anything.
Han Mingyu and Ji Lin never got along.
Given Han Mingyu's personality, he would never ask Ji Lin to take care of her.
There is only one possibility.
Han Mingyu abandoned her and left, and Ji Lin volunteered to stay and watch over her.
Qi Mingxuan and Ji Lin were not actually very familiar with each other, but Qi Sinian and his elder brother were more familiar with Ji Lin.
She knew that Ji Lin was only being kind to her because of the two of them.
Qi Mingxuan did not expose Ji Lin's well-intentioned lie.
Moreover, Ji Lin's statement suggests that she is unaware of the true state of her marriage with Han Mingyu.
Don't wash your dirty linen in public.
Qi Mingxuan looked at Ji Lin: "Are you leaving again this time?"
"I'm not leaving," Ji Linwen said with a smile. "My father is getting old, and he's only back this time to familiarize himself with the hospital. He's retiring at the end of the year."
"It's fine." Qi Mingxuan paused, then said, "You didn't get any rest last night, did you? I don't have anything else to do here, so you should go back and get some rest."
"It's alright, I'll stay until I finish my rounds."
Just as Qi Mingxuan was about to speak, the ward door was pushed open.
Han Mingyu walked in, still wearing the same clothes as yesterday.
He paused slightly when he saw Ji Linzai.
The door closed, he glanced at Qi Mingxuan on the bed, then turned his gaze to Ji Lin, "Is it so early for ward rounds?"
Ji Lin: "..."
They gave themselves away right away.
Qi Mingxuan felt that Han Mingyu was not worth Ji Lin telling this white lie for.
Han Mingyu was completely ungrateful; he didn't even think there was anything wrong with leaving her alone in the hospital room.
Qi Mingxuan gave a slight smile.
A chill ran through me, as if a constant draft was blowing in.
Even though I had no expectations, I still felt disappointed.
Even couples without feelings for each other have an obligation to care for each other when one is hospitalized due to injury or illness, as a legally married couple.
But Han Mingyu was not aware of this.
In his eyes, a legally married couple is someone who has a marriage certificate, has a child, and then creates a seemingly complete and happy family for the child with both parents.
The atmosphere was subtle.
Ji Lin felt it was time to leave.
He stood up, looked at Han Mingyu and said, "Since you're here, I'll be leaving now. The on-duty doctor will be coming to check on her later. She just woke up, so let her drink some water first. After the doctor finishes his rounds, let her have some porridge or some light, easily digestible food."
Han Mingyu responded indifferently.
Ji Lin then looked at Qi Mingxuan: "Your immune system is too weak. Yesterday's report showed that you are quite anemic. Once you're fully recovered, you should find an opportunity to properly take care of your health."
Qi Mingxuan nodded, "Okay, I will be careful. Ji Lin, thank you so much this time."
Ji Lin smiled gently at her, "We're all friends, it's only right."
Han Mingyu looked at the two of them and chuckled softly.
Ji Lin ignored Han Mingyu's sarcastic tone at that moment.
He nodded slightly to Han Mingyu and walked directly out of the ward.
Han Mingyu closed the ward door, walked to the bedside, and reached out to touch Qi Mingxuan's forehead.
"The fever has subsided." He withdrew his hand, sat down on the chair by the bed, looked at her thin face, and frowned, "Why did you do this? As a CEO, is it really necessary for you to personally inspect the construction site? Even if you had to go, you should have waited until the weather was better. Qi Mingxuan, sometimes when women are too strong-willed, they just have to endure hardship."
Qi Mingxuan frowned slightly.
It wasn't because of what Han Mingyu said, but because Han Mingyu smelled of a woman's perfume.
She looked at Han Mingyu and said, "Ji Lin said you had an urgent matter to attend to last night."
Upon hearing this, Han Mingyu didn't answer, but instead raised an eyebrow, "He came last night?"
Upon hearing this, Qi Mingxuan was so angry she laughed.
It seems Han Mingyu left quite early last night.
She was sick, and her husband went to deal with some so-called emergency, leaving her alone in the hospital.
They didn't even offer to hire a caregiver for her.
That wasn't all; the next day, he showed up smelling strongly of women's perfume and immediately began lecturing her.
Qi Mingxuan really felt that she had been blind to be so persistent in her feelings for Han Mingyu.
"Han Mingyu, I'd like to ask you where you went last night?"
"I need to take care of some personal matters." Han Mingyu pinched the bridge of his nose, not wanting to discuss this topic, and changed the subject, saying, "Your health is too poor. I suggest you stop all work and stay home to recuperate for a while."
"I don't want to." Qi Mingxuan refused without hesitation: "Han Mingyu, I don't want to discuss this topic anymore. I will actively take care of my health, but if you continue to use my health as an excuse to interfere with my work, then I really need to reconsider whether our marriage is worth continuing."
Han Mingyu's face darkened. "Qi Mingxuan, are you going to ask me for a divorce now?"
“Even couples without feelings for each other should at least respect one another.” Qi Mingxuan looked directly into the man’s eyes. “Han Mingyu, ask yourself honestly, since we got married, have you ever respected me?”
"How did I not respect you?" Han Mingyu stood up angrily. "You say I didn't respect you? Why don't you say you're too strong-willed! I've said before that I like gentle and virtuous women, but you insist on doing the opposite! You're deliberately trying to make me unhappy!"
"If I'm not gentle and virtuous enough, then who is?" Qi Mingxuan sneered, "Is Lin Xiaoyue gentle and virtuous?"
Han Mingyu was taken aback.
Qi Mingxuan was too lazy to beat around the bush with him.
"Han Mingyu, you've spent a fortune on Lin Xiaoyue, which shows how much she has influenced you. We've agreed not to talk about feelings, only about marriage and family, so I hope you can abide by the rules. This is the first and the last time."
Are you ordering me around?
“I’m not ordering you.” Qi Mingxuan looked at him with a firm expression: “I’m reminding you that I don’t accept a husband who cheats on his wife, nor do I accept my son having a father who cheats on his wife. I’m giving you three days to deal with Lin Xiaoyue.”
Han Mingyu stared at her, his eyes cold.
He scoffed, "What if I insist on not listening to you?"
"I will have my lawyer contact you in three days. We will get a divorce. I will not ask whether you want to be with Lin Xiaoyue or Zhang Xiaoyue."
She no longer has any expectations of Han Mingyu, so naturally she won't wrong herself anymore.
As for Qi Yue, she will communicate with him properly.
