Chapter 228 Still harboring feelings for Mr. Fu?
Once outside the banquet hall, Wen Jingxi immediately withdrew his hand.
He raised his hand and ripped off the bow tie around his neck.
"Phew, I'm really not used to wearing such formal clothes. You know this bow tie is digging into my Adam's apple?"
Shen Qingshu looked at him with a smile in her eyes, as if she were looking at her own younger brother.
"You reacted quite quickly just now."
She had only lied about Wen Jingxi being her boyfriend on a whim because Zhou Baiting's gaze towards her was too aggressive.
"That Zhou Baiting is obviously no good person!" Wen Jingxi sneered. "I noticed the way he looked at you when you were speaking on stage! A refined scoundrel! Does he really think I can't tell he's a pervert just because he's wearing glasses?!"
"In short, none of the Zhous are any good!" Wen Jingxi added angrily.
Shen Qingshu agreed with Wen Jingxi's words.
“I’m quite surprised that he and Zhuo Yi know each other.” Shen Qingshu said seriously, “I’ll find an opportunity to ask Zhuo Yi how they met.”
“Yes, we need to find out for sure,” Wen Jingxi said. “It would be best to remind Zhuo Yi not to have any business dealings with Zhou Baiting.”
Shen Qingshu nodded.
The two walked towards the elevator.
It's too late today, so they booked a room upstairs to stay overnight and then head back to Beicheng tomorrow morning.
The elevator doors opened, and Shen Qingshu and Wen Jingxi entered the elevator one after the other.
When Fu Siyan came out of the banquet hall, the elevator doors had already closed.
Song Lanyin chased after him and grabbed him, "What's wrong with you! Zhou Baiting is still here, calm down!"
Fu Siyan stared at the closed elevator door. "She's with Wen Jingxi..."
“It’s normal for them to be together!” Song Lanyin said in a low voice. “Teacher Wen stayed by her side for more than four years. Now that she’s divorced, it’s only right that Teacher Wen takes her place.”
Fu Siyan stood frozen in place.
His back bent down little by little.
Utter despair is nothing more than this.
Song Lanyin couldn't stand his attitude.
"Alright, alright, I was just kidding. They booked two rooms tonight! I checked!"
Fu Siyan glanced at her sideways, his eyes sharp as knives.
Song Lanyin rolled her eyes. "Fu Siyan, you're not going to become a vengeful ghost and haunt Shen Qingshu after you die, are you?"
Fu Siyan pursed his lips.
If there is no response, then it is assumed.
“Then you really are…” Song Lanyin commented quite aptly: “A persistent ghost.”
“I know I’m not worthy.” Fu Siyan closed his eyes, his voice hoarse, “But when I saw her with other men, I just couldn’t control myself.”
"Then don't watch!" Song Lanyin tugged at his arm. "I came back from giving up a multi-million dollar order overseas, not to put on a sentimental show for you. Let's go meet Zhou Baiting!"
Fu Siyan took a deep breath and composed himself.
When he looked up again, his eyes were icy cold.
Song Lanyin instantly transformed into a doting wife, taking Fu Siyan's arm.
The two returned to the banquet hall.
…
The next day, Shen Qingshu and Wen Jingxi had breakfast at the hotel and then set off back to Beicheng.
That evening, Song Lanyin came to pick up Xiao Nian'an.
Song Lanyin brought Shen Qingshu a gift, "A very famous French perfume. I think this one would suit you quite well, consider it a return gift."
Shen Qingshu accepted it and smiled slightly, "Thank you."
Since realizing that Song Lanyin was genuinely kind to Xiao Nian'an, Shen Qingshu's attitude towards Song Lanyin became much gentler.
Song Lanyin peeked into the room, then suddenly leaned over and asked Shen Qingshu, "I've actually been wanting to ask you for a while now, are you dating Teacher Wen?"
Shen Qingshu didn't expect her to ask that question so suddenly.
She thought for a moment, then smiled faintly, "We just confirmed our relationship not long ago."
Song Lanyin frowned. "Really?"
"Is Miss Song worried that I still have feelings for Mr. Fu?"
Song Lanyin: "...No."
She asked this on behalf of Fu Siyan, and of course, on behalf of herself as well.
In her opinion, Wen Jingxi did indeed have feelings for Shen Qingshu, but as for Shen Qingshu... she couldn't see it yet.
She has quite a bit of a crush on Wen Jingxi and really wants to talk about it!
"Miss Song, you can rest assured that Mr. Fu and I have completely ended things. I sincerely wish you and Mr. Fu all the best."
Song Lanyin: "...Thank you!"
You're being sincere, but someone's heart is about to be broken!
Song Lanyin sighed inwardly, picked up Xiao Nian'an, said goodbye to Shen Qingshu, and turned to get into the car.
…
Back at Nanxi Mansion, Zhang Yun took Xiao Nian'an to take a bath and go to bed.
Song Lanyin knocked on the study door.
"Enter."
Song Lanyin pushed open the door, walked in, and closed it behind her.
Fu Siyan sat at his desk, reviewing official documents.
Song Lanyin walked over and glanced at her. "I asked your ex-wife tonight."
Upon hearing this, Fu Siyan paused and looked up at her.
What did she say?
She said she and Teacher Wen had only recently confirmed their relationship.
Fu Siyan's jawline tightened instantly.
"You said it was impossible for us to be together, but I sincerely wish us a long and happy life together!"
"Get out."
Song Lanyin: "Hey! You're the one who told me to ask. I was just a messenger, why are you getting angry at me!"
Fu Siyan closed his eyes and took a deep breath—
"Cough cough!"
He couldn't catch his breath, which triggered a violent cough.
He coughed up blood!
Song Lanyin: "...You're really too hot-tempered! I'm scared of you, okay? Don't worry, with my woman's intuition, I know your ex-wife doesn't love Teacher Wen. She probably said that because she was afraid I'd misunderstand and think she still had feelings for you..."
Fu Siyan's face turned pale, and a large pool of blood stained the handkerchief covering his mouth.
Song Lanyin quickly realized the seriousness of the situation.
This isn't just vomiting blood out of anger; it's clearly a worsening of the condition...
Song Lanyin's expression hardened, and she immediately took out her phone and dialed Qin Yancheng's number.
…
Qin Yancheng had just put his son to sleep and was about to spend some time with his wife when a phone call interrupted their sweet moment.
It was Song Lanyin calling.
"It's a call from the hospital." Qin Yancheng sat up and pressed the answer button.
Upon hearing Song Lanyin say that Fu Siyan had coughed up blood again, his face darkened, and he said, "I'll be right there," before hanging up the phone.
"Honey, I have to go to the hospital. I might not be back tonight. You go to sleep first, don't wait for me!"
Qin Yancheng hurriedly put on his clothes, grabbed his phone, and went out.
Qiao Xingjia lay on the bed, staring at the crystal chandelier on the ceiling, a hint of frustration appearing on her round face.
She understands that her husband is busy with work, but this isn't the first time this has happened.
I stay home with my child every day, and even at night, my limited time is constantly interrupted by emergency calls.
After this happened many times, some resentment inevitably arose.
Qiao Xingjia sighed, turned over, and drifted off to sleep with a depressed mood.
In her dream, light and shadow danced, and many unfamiliar scenes intruded into her dream.
Finally, a girl named 'Star' slammed her hand on the table and declared confidently, "I'm a staunch non-marriage advocate!"
Qiao Xingjia woke up with a start, and when she opened her eyes, the words "I'm a non-marriage advocate!" still seemed to echo in her ears.
She blinked, her eyes filled with confusion.
Was it a dream?
