Liu Jiaer's voice came along with the sound of her high heels hitting the floor.
Chu Xing gave Assistant Lu a cold look, full of warning.
Assistant Lu shrugged guiltily and quickly turned to leave.
Liu Jia'er stood triumphantly in front of the desk, smiling as she asked, "Are you two actually in a marriage of convenience?"
"It's none of your business." Chu Xing didn't want to continue arguing with her about something pointless.
I never expected this woman to be so arrogant as to come directly to my office.
They framed me so badly yesterday, and now they not only show no remorse, but stand so smugly in front of me.
It seems that I have been too gentle lately, which has made her forget what I was like before.
"Ah Xing, I apologize for what happened last night. But it's because I like you that I'm so eager for you to accept me." Liu Jia'er sat down, her eyes brimming with tears.
Chu Xing looked on with anticipation, waiting for her next act.
"Actually, you should be able to understand that my feelings for you are far more intense than for anyone else. Does Song Mai really not know your identity? I doubt it."
"So you mean she's a woman who went to great lengths to disguise herself and get close to me for wealth and status?" Chu Xing crossed his arms and nodded thoughtfully.
Liu Jia'er quickly smiled and agreed, "That's exactly what I meant!"
"It's getting late, you should go back too. Also, remember to tell your aunt not to even think about teaming up with you to do anything that would harm me, or don't blame me for turning my back on her." Chu Xing waved his hand, as if to see him off.
The aunt he was referring to was his mother, Qin Jizhi.
Liu Jia'er's smile vanished instantly. She never expected that he would disregard even her own mother's feelings for Song Mai.
"Do you need me to have security escort you downstairs?"
Upon hearing such threatening words, Liu Jiaer quickly got up and left.
She only wanted to seek forgiveness today, but unexpectedly learned from Assistant Lu that Song Mai did not know Chu Xing's identity.
She couldn't believe there could be such a fool in the world, after all, everyone knew Chu Xing's identity.
It was a blessing she had accumulated over eight lifetimes to marry such a powerful figure, so naturally she had to pretend to be innocent and pure in order to better benefit from Chu Xing in the future.
Liu Jiaer believed she had seen through Song Mai's disguise and became increasingly smug.
Because Song Mai had taken medication, she felt particularly uncomfortable sitting at her workstation.
She gently stroked her abdomen, the dull pain making it hard for her to breathe.
Seeing her like this, Xie Manman gently placed her hand on her shoulder and asked with concern, "Are you feeling unwell? Do you need to take a day off?"
Song Mai shook her head slowly, her face pale: "It's nothing, just a stomachache."
Is it your period?
Song Mai nodded smoothly and said apologetically, "I'm sorry to have worried you."
“Your period needs to be taken seriously too. Since you seem so uncomfortable, I’ll just call a sick leave for you. That way, you won’t lose your perfect attendance record, and you can get some rest,” Xie Manman said gently.
During this time together, she gradually realized that Song Mai was a very hardworking and outstanding girl.
She often has the heart of a talent scout for girls like this, and naturally she will take extra care of them.
"No need." Song Mai's face grew even paler, and she fainted weakly in her arms.
When I woke up groggily, I heard the doctor talking to another person: "You young people just don't know how to control yourselves. Don't you know how harmful emergency medication is to your bodies?"
Chu Xing stood in front of the doctor, behaving as obediently as a student.
He slowly lowered his eyes and listened quietly to the doctor's instructions.
Upon realizing that Song Mai had woken up, he immediately rushed over and asked anxiously, "You're awake? Do you feel unwell anywhere?"
Song Mai shook her head, looking at the doctor with some confusion: "What's wrong with me?"
"You fainted because your body couldn't handle the medication and the pain. You young people really should be more careful. How could you not take something this important seriously?"
Just as the doctor was about to start lecturing again, Jiang Jibai, who had rushed over from outside, hurriedly interrupted, "Dr. Xu, the two of them are newly married and it's inevitable that they don't know how to control themselves. I just saw a pregnant woman looking for you, and she seemed very anxious."
Dr. Xu was very dedicated and rushed over as soon as he heard this.
After confirming that she had left, Song Mai breathed a sigh of relief: "His lecture just now made me feel like I was back in my student days."
"Seeing that my sister-in-law can still joke around, I feel relieved. I suppose she's not seriously ill."
Song Mai blushed instantly and subconsciously looked at Chu Xing.
Neither of them expected things to escalate so much. She was hospitalized because of taking emergency medication, and for the next two weeks, she'll probably be the laughingstock of the company.
Looking at her weak appearance, Chu Xing said softly, "I'm sorry."
This apology made Jiang Jibai's eyes widen instantly.
He pretended not to hear clearly and said exaggeratedly, "Did I hear that right? You actually apologized?"
"This is none of your business, get out of here," Chu Xing said irritably.
Their private time together was thus interrupted, and naturally he didn't give them a pleasant look.
Jiang Jibai stuck out his tongue playfully and snorted, "You stingy guy, who wouldn't want to take a second look at their battle-worn sister-in-law?"
Song Mai's current frail appearance is just like that of a delicate, sickly beauty; anyone who sees her can't help but take a second look.
Hearing this, she blushed and instinctively lowered her head, her face full of helplessness.
"I won't joke around anymore. I have to go make rounds later. You all should get some rest." Jiang Jibai was extremely serious when it came to work, putting away his playful demeanor and instantly transforming into the authoritative figure of a doctor.
"Why are you here?" Song Mai asked worriedly. "Has it affected your business?"
“My business is not as important as you. You have no idea how scared I was when I got the call.” Chu Xing sighed and said nervously, “This time it was my fault. I will never put you in danger again.”
Song Mai said helplessly, "This is a problem between the two of us, how can you be blamed alone?"
Seeing that Song Mai's medicine was about to end, Chu Xing pressed the bell a few times, but no doctor came over.
He spoke softly to reassure her, "I'll go get the doctor."
At that moment, an employee of Yunxing Group inadvertently passed by the ward and saw Chu Xing's back as he pushed open the door and left the ward.
