Chapter 334 Talk
Her face was redder than a rooster's comb, and she couldn't explain it. If she said they were not a couple, wouldn't that make the situation worse?
Zhou Xilai had obviously heard the rumors. When she returned to the ward, two young nurses were changing his dressings. The nurses liked to joke with the patients while they worked to distract them and relieve their pain. One of them joked, "Your wife is so good to you. You two must have a good relationship, right?"
"What lover? What good relationship?" Zhou Xilai asked while enduring the pain.
"Don't be so modest. The news of your and your lover's good relationship has spread throughout the hospital."
Zhou Xilai then remembered that the reason they said that was because someone saw Wei Xiaobao helping him untie his belt that morning, and the young nurse must have thought something wrong.
At this time, Wei Xiaobao coughed at the door while holding the rice bowl. The two young nurses stopped talking, covered their mouths, and walked away with a smile.
Wei Xiaobao placed the food on the table, then closed the door. He frowned and muttered to himself, "What the hell is going on! Let's eat!"
Zhou Xilai refused to eat and said he wanted to talk to her.
"Xiaobaoer, we must have a frank talk." Zhou Xilai leaned on the pillow, his eyes shining.
"What?"
"Of course, it's about us. Ever since that night when you got drunk and insisted on getting a room with me, I've wanted to talk to you, but you never gave me a chance."
"What is there to talk about between us?" Wei Xiaobao looked very unnatural. He was a little afraid to look at him, and his eyes drifted out the window.
Zhou Xilai said with a scoundrel look on his face: "Of course there is something to discuss. You were drunk that day and forced me to check into a room with you. This matter can't just be let go like this... And someone saw us doing that in the bathroom this morning. Now the rumors outside are so loud that I can't even open my eyes. What do you think we should do?"
Wei Xiaobao lowered his head, twisting his hands together. "I was wrong to force you to get a room that day, but I was drunk and unconscious. I apologize."
Zhou Xilai said aggrievedly, "Is an apology enough? You've ruined my reputation, and I'm still single. How am I going to find a wife in the future with such a reputation?"
"Then what do you say we should do? At worst, I'll compensate you with some money, and you can find a wife somewhere else."
"I don't want money. Now even the people in the hospital know that we are a couple. If you give me some money to send me away, people will think that I am not good enough and my wife divorced me. I can't afford to lose face like this."
"Just tell me what you mean."
Zhou Xilai was thicker-skinned than a city wall: "I want you to be responsible for me. Men and women should not be intimate with each other. We both slept in the same room. Even if nothing happened, others will think something happened. Why don't we make the fake become real and avoid gossip."
Wei Xiaobao didn't expect him to say such a thing. He thought he had misheard and his eyes widened. "What did you say?"
"You can't just run away after sleeping with me. You have to be responsible for me. It's just a small matter." Zhou Xilai said innocently: "If we turn the fake into the real, we won't have to worry about other people gossiping."
Wei Xiaobao felt her heart beating so fast that it almost jumped out of her throat. She had no idea how to answer him. She rushed to the bathroom, turned on the faucet and rinsed her head with cold water. She felt confused and had to wake up.
Unexpectedly, Zhou Xilai followed in slowly.
