Ni Sitian realized she had said the wrong thing and upset Xiang Zhilan, and was about to comfort her when the ward door opened.
She and Xiang Zhilan both looked towards the door, only to see Shen Muzhi walk in.
Ni Sitian gritted her teeth. She really wanted to stand up for Zhi Lan and question him, but she knew she had to endure it for now. What Zhi Lan wanted now was his own, not his apology and vows. Those were all empty words to Zhi Lan.
Shen Muzhi looked very tired; he must have been exhausted from taking care of Su Yan.
Haha, leaving his wife in the caregiver while he goes to take care of his first love, he really doesn't know what he's doing.
Seeing Ni Sitian's angry expression, Xiang Zhilan was afraid that she would give herself away, so she quickly pulled her hand.
Ni Sitian withdrew her gaze, glanced at Zhi Lan, then lowered her eyes, suppressing her anger.
Shen Muzhi had just heard downstairs about Su Yan's deteriorating condition and was preoccupied with his own thoughts, so he was a little flustered and didn't notice Ni Sitian's strange behavior.
He walked to the bedside and sat down on the edge of Xiang Zhilan's hospital bed. "How are you feeling now?"
Xiang Zhilan pretended not to know anything as always, and smiled faintly: "It's nothing serious. You should be able to be discharged tomorrow. It's fine to rest at home. Dr. Wang can give you the injections to prevent miscarriage."
"Well, that's good. The smell in hospital wards is always unpleasant." Shen Muzhi lowered his head, reached out and touched Xiang Zhilan's belly, just in time to feel the baby's movement. His eyes softened, and he said, "It seems they can't wait to come out."
These words made Xiang Zhilan and Ni Sitian freeze. They weren't sure if they were just imagining things, but they felt that his words had a hidden meaning.
Saying the children can't wait just means they want them to come out as soon as possible, right?
Ni Sitian was about to lose control and wanted to slap Shen Muzhi to wake him up.
"Sitian, didn't you say you had something to do later? You should go home early, it'll be hard to get a taxi after get off work." Xiang Zhilan said quickly, afraid that Ni Sitian would act impulsively.
Ni Sitian understood Zhi Lan's intentions, of course. She clenched her fist, stood up abruptly, making quite a commotion.
Shen Muzhi then glanced at Ni Sitian and noticed that her eyes were red, which seemed a bit strange.
"Zhi Lan, you should rest well. I'll be leaving now." Ni Sitian couldn't pretend to be polite with Shen Muzhi, so she turned around and walked away quickly.
Shen Muzhi frowned slightly, looked at Ni Sitian's back, and said, "What's wrong with her now? She comes to you crying every day. Did Tingchuan bully her?"
"Of course not, Xu Tingchuan would never bear to bully her." Xiang Zhilan smiled faintly. Fortunately, she hadn't cried much and her eyes weren't red, otherwise she would have given herself away.
Shen Muzhi still felt something was wrong; why would someone inexplicably come here and cry for two days?
"She's been writing a tragedy lately and has been looking at a lot of tragic cases for reference, so she's probably been more sensitive and sentimental lately," Xiang Zhilan casually explained.
Shen Muzhi didn't press the matter further. After all, Ni Sitian's matter was Xu Tingchuan's matter, and he himself was already overwhelmed with problems.
Seeing that he looked very tired, Xiang Zhilan said, "You seem very tired lately. You haven't slept well for eight or nine days. You don't need to come here. Anyway, I'm going to be discharged from the hospital soon. I have a caregiver, which is enough."
Shen Muzhi held Xiang Zhilan's hand. She used to always go against him, but now she's becoming more and more gentle and considerate, and she's even starting to care about him.
