Jiang Dong said hesitantly, "Madam stayed at the hospital for a while, and then went out to dinner with a man..."
Zhan Jingting's brows furrowed even more. "What man?"
"It's not clear yet."
"photo."
Jiang Dong handed over the photos that Qiao Wanwan's bodyguard had secretly taken.
In the photo, Qiao Wanwan walks into a restaurant with a young man. They are sitting in a private room, so the inside cannot be seen.
Zhan Jingting's hand holding the phone gradually tightened, his handsome face becoming gloomy and tense.
Jiang Dong suddenly felt the air pressure drop so low that he could hardly breathe. "Master Zhan, I'll go check right away."
Zhan Jingting handed him the phone and said, "Get out."
"yes."
......
When Qiao Wanwan returned to the hospital, it was already evening.
Zhan Jingting was lying in bed receiving an IV drip.
"How are you feeling?" Qiao Wanwan stepped forward and asked.
"I'm hungry." The man looked at her expressionlessly. "Feed me."
"Okay." Qiao Wanwan could clearly sense that he was in a bad mood, but she didn't ask any further questions.
With injuries like this, it's no wonder he's in a bad mood.
The meal was prepared by Zheng Ma and was very light. Qiao Wanwan fed Huo Junlin bite by bite and asked, "I went to Zaozao Hospital today and found out that someone paid my bill. Was it you who paid it?"
The man said calmly, "It's nothing, don't worry about it."
“You may think it’s a small matter, but it’s not to me. I will find a way to pay you back as soon as possible.”
"You have no income right now, how are you going to pay me back?" Zhan Jingting looked at her unhappily. "Are you going to ask Xiang Yang for it, or ask another man for it, and then pay me back?"
Qiao Wanwan was completely confused. "Zhan Jingting, what's wrong with you?"
"Who did you have dinner with today?"
“My attending physician, he came back from abroad to perform my surgery.”
Zhan Jingting frowned. "Surgery on your leg?"
"yes."
"You two are very familiar with each other?"
“I’ve had two surgeries since the accident, so we should be pretty familiar with each other. He’s also been helping with my condition since early on. He’s a benefactor to both my sister and me.”
"Benefactor?" Zhan Jingting's face darkened. "You're not refusing to pay medical bills, why are you exaggerating like this?"
Qiao Wanwan fed him the food, "Zhan Jingting, where did you get such a big temper?"
"...I've made myself perfectly clear, and you still think it's just a nameless anger? I don't like you meeting other men, let alone having meals alone with them!"
Qiao Wanwan: "......"
She belatedly realized that Zhan Jingting was jealous!
“But…we’re about to get a divorce,” Qiao Wanwan whispered.
Zhan Jingting's expression darkened further. "We're not divorced yet, you're still my wife! I won't allow you to meet or have dinner with other men!"
Qiao Wanwan tried to soothe him, "I know, don't get angry, be careful not to aggravate your wound!"
Zhan Jingting's mood improved a bit. "I'm full, you can eat now."
"I'm not hungry."
"You have to eat even if you're not hungry. I'll watch you eat."
Under Zhan Jingting's coercion, Qiao Wanwan managed to eat a large bowl of rice and quite a few dishes.
......
At four o'clock in the morning, Qiao Wanwan woke up from a nightmare, gasping for breath.
She closed her eyes, got up, took a shower, and washed away the cold sweat.
The sky outside the window was turning a pale white, and Qiao Wanwan, not feeling sleepy, went to the next ward.
The man on the hospital bed was fast asleep. Qiao Wanwan slowed down the IV drip and sat down to take his pulse.
The man slowly opened his eyes in his sleep and stared at her without moving.
Qiao Wanwan suddenly felt a burning gaze, her fingertips trembled, and she quickly withdrew her hand. "Did I wake you up?"
"No." Zhan Jingting tried to take her hand, but the girl dodged away.
“Zhan Jingting,” she said softly, her eyes lowered, “I am grateful that you risked your life to save me, but I am not worth it. You have been injured for me more than once, and each time it is more serious than the last. This is not a good thing. If you believe in magnetic fields, you will know that our magnetic fields are incompatible, which is why I have brought so much danger to you.”
“Wanwan, I’m not afraid.” Zhan Jingting looked at her. “Actually, that night, I had time to tell you that it doesn’t matter whether you’ve had a relationship with other men or whether you’ve had children. You are still my wife.”
Qiao Wanwan suddenly looked up at him, staring at him in disbelief, "How could this be... How could you not mind!"
"I didn't say I didn't mind. I'm not a saint. I'm angry and sad too. I wish I could find that man and tear him to pieces!" Zhan Jingting said with a bitter smile. "But Wanwan, I feel more regret. I regret why I couldn't be there to protect you when you were in trouble. If I had appeared sooner, you wouldn't have had to endure the most unbearable pain for a girl."
“Wanwan, we are husband and wife. From the moment I decided to marry you, I was mentally prepared to accept everything about you, not just your good side, but also your dark side.”
"So Wanwan, let's forget about all this, okay? If you don't want to stay in the capital, we can leave here and start over somewhere where nobody knows us."
Qiao Wanwan was already in tears. She shook her head violently and cried out in despair, "Zhan Jingting, I beg you, please stop talking. I'm not worthy, I'm not worthy of you being so good to me!"
"Whether it's worth it or not, I know in my heart!" Zhan Jingting raised his hand and grasped her wrist. "Wanwan, don't belittle yourself. You're not dirty. In my heart, you're the most beautiful. Promise me, forget about this, and let's live a good life together, okay?"
"No..." Qiao Wanwan forcefully broke free from his hand, stood up and took two steps back, her voice trembling, "It's not like that, you can't do this, what kind of woman can't you find? Why does it have to be me?"
"Wanwan, why can't you understand?" Pain flashed in the man's eyes. "If it weren't for you, I would never have gone through with this marriage. The person I've always wanted is you!"
Qiao Wanwan was completely stunned, but still shook her head firmly. "There's no going back, Zhan Jingting. What's done is done. That child with an unknown father truly existed inside me. Even if we leave here and escape those mocking gazes, it doesn't mean this matter is over. Do you understand?"
"I can't hold your hand, hug you, or kiss you right now because I feel so dirty. The nicer you are to me, the less I can face you. I just want to get away from you, as far away as possible."
Zhan Jingting felt as if his heart had been pierced by a sharp weapon, the pain making it hard for him to breathe. "Wanwan, give me a chance, I will help you forget this nightmare."
Qiao Wanwan covered her ears. "Zhan Jingting, please let me go, and let yourself go too. Once you're healed, we'll get a divorce. I'm begging you..."
