Xu Keke woke up the next morning. The live stream had already ended.
Zhou Heng brought her milk and bread.
"I don't want milk, but we have coffee. I want that." Xu Keke looked at the so-called milk with disgust. Actually, it was just a nutrient solution, but it had been reprocessed and flavored with milk. Coffee, on the other hand, was the real food in their storage warehouse. Originally, because one of the four conglomerates' wives liked coffee, they not only stockpiled a large amount in the storage warehouse but also cultivated it.
Yes, their storage compartments have cultivation capabilities that other space stations do not possess. It's not that the hydroponics technology is particularly advanced, but rather that other space stations either lack seeds or their storage compartments are not large enough.
For safety reasons, their strength has remained a secret to the outside world, a secret known only to a select few.
"Mr. Huang has already taken all the coffee powder."
Zhou Heng spoke expressionlessly, but Xu Keke knew he was unhappy. She didn't understand why he was upset. It wasn't her who asked Huang Pinjia to take it, and besides, Huang Pinjia taking her coffee powder meant she was the one who suffered the loss.
“Mr. Huang has documents signed by you personally, and you can share everything with him.”
Well, it really was my own fault. I was a bit impulsive back then, and what I said and did was somewhat extreme.
Zhou Heng brought the milk to Xu Keke's lips, and Xu Keke realized that her body was unusually weak. She couldn't push the milk cup away from her mouth.
I don't want to drink it!
She took the cup away from her lips just a little, and Zhou Heng looked at her, saying, "Your body needs to replenish its energy. You can't always lie in bed."
"You've got it wrong. It's my leg that's the problem that's keeping me in bed. It's not because my body is lacking nutrients. If I need nutrients, I can get them in other ways. I don't want to drink milk; I don't like the taste."
Zhou Heng seemed to be considering the validity of her words, and after a long while, he said, "But you need to drink this today."
"What, do you need me to sleep all day today?" Xu Keke asked directly.
Zhou Heng showed no fear of being caught, saying, "It wasn't just for a day."
Xu Keke laughed, "Tell me your reason, and maybe I can cooperate with you. After all, I can't move right now, can I?"
Zhou Heng sighed, "Huang Pinjia wants to see you. He is still your fiancé. He hasn't officially married Zhang Man yet, so he considers him still your fiancé."
"You could have just told me directly, there's no need to do this. I can just break off the engagement with him."
Zhou Heng looked at her distrustfully, "He's outside right now. He wants to see you."
Xu Keke understood what he meant: "You're afraid that if I see him, I'll soften my heart."
Zhou Heng remained silent, which was taken as tacit agreement.
Xu Keke thought about it and realized that without her recent experiences, she really couldn't guarantee anything. Huang Pinjia was like a pet she kept by her side. Who would be serious about their own cat? It's just that he wags his tail, licks your hand, and acts cute—that's all.
"If I said that no matter what he says, I won't continue my engagement with him, would you believe me?"
Zhou Heng shook his head without even thinking.
"Zhou Heng, don't go too far. You're just my personal assistant. It's none of your business to make decisions about me now."
Zhou Heng didn't say anything, but simply moved the cup of milk closer to the front.
Xu Keke cursed and roared, "Get that bastard Huang Pinjia out of here, okay? I hereby officially announce that I am severing all ties with Huang Pinjia."
Xu Keke didn't intend to break off her relationship with Huang Pinjia so quickly; she wasn't planning to let Zhang Man have it easy. She wanted to see them stuck in an awkward situation, unable to move forward or backward.
If the engagement is broken off, Huang Pinjia will be completely pushed to Zhang Man's side. This would actually help Zhang Man, which makes Xu Keke uncomfortable.
Clearly, Zhou Heng didn't think that way. He put the milk and bread back where they were and took out the documents he had prepared beforehand for her to sign.
Xu Keke gritted her teeth, staring at the agreement on the screen, and glanced sideways at Zhou Heng. "I don't have the strength to write right now."
Zhou Heng remained calm and pressed her finger on it. "No need for a signature, a fingerprint will suffice."
"Okay, now that I have nothing to do with him anymore, can I see him now?"
Zhou Heng shook his head. "No."
"Why?" Xu Keke was furious. "Why can't I see him? I have nothing to do with him anymore, I just want to..."
"Are you trying to sow discord between him and Zhang Man?" Zhou Heng asked Xu Keke with a stern face. "There's no need to do that."
Xu Keke laughed in exasperation, "Can I see Wei Chi?"
Seeing Zhou Heng nod, Xu Keke was startled. Wei Chi had been with her for many years. Xu Keke tentatively asked, "Where is my female personal assistant?"
"No need to test the waters anymore. No female personal assistant will come, Wei Chi. Is it what you think?"
Ignoring Xu Keke's shock, Zhou Heng skillfully uploaded the agreement and released it to the public.
Huang Pinjia, who was still standing outside, was quickly notified and saw the announcement.
He can't contact Xu Keke now; no matter how much he calls from outside, it's no use—she can't hear him inside. Zhou Heng also refuses to open the door for him. He's still telling him to get lost over the walkie-talkie.
Huang Pinjia was furious. He had told Xu Keke not to use Zhou Heng, but she wouldn't listen. Now, it turned out that Zhou Heng wasn't the honest person he pretended to be at all. He was a scheming and treacherous person.
Fortunately, even without Xu Keke, Huang Pinjia still had Zhang Man. Zhang Man certainly didn't disappoint him, and quickly arranged for a car to pick him up and take him home.
She told him there was a banquet that evening that they were going to attend. This was something Xu's mother had obtained through a friend. What Zhang Man didn't mention was that Xu's mother had gotten it through a friend, using Xu Keke's name.
Having nowhere else to turn, Huang Pinjia, though unwilling to attend any banquets, still agreed to Zhang Man's request. He could sense that Zhang Man's attitude towards him was different from before. Her gentleness and tenderness carried a hint of Xu Keke's assertiveness, though not much, but Huang Pinjia, having been with Xu Keke for so long, quickly noticed it.
Meanwhile, Wei Chi was quickly summoned to Xu Keke's bedside.
This time, the nurse who carried his bag was a blonde, blue-eyed girl. She couldn't understand what they were saying and stared blankly at the ceiling the whole time. She wasn't as attentive and considerate as the previous one.
But Wei Chi didn't seem to mind; in fact, he adapted quickly. He did everything himself and didn't even think about ordering the female nurses around.
“You gave her the medicine,” Xu Keke said, pointing at the female nurse.
Wei Chi was a little stunned, as if he hadn't expected Xu Keke to ask such a question suddenly.
"Something's not right about her expression."
As for Xu Keke, Wei Chi suddenly deflated, "No, she just doesn't want to be with me."
