Surprisingly, being married can be quite useful in some situations.
Si Xi was clearly stunned after Ming Dai said those words.
He thought Mingdai was joking.
"Even if you don't want to add it, you don't have to..."
"Fang Li may not have told you, but I can't lie to you. I really am married. I got married three years ago."
Si Xi looked at Ming Dai.
Mingdai opened his phone, found the QR code for payment, and scanned half of the meal cost to him.
"goodbye."
After Mingdai and Sixi parted ways, they were on their way back to the He family villa.
Ling Yang called her.
Mingdai glanced at it a few times, but still accepted it.
Where?
Ling Yang asked this question.
Mingdai didn't know what her purpose was in making the call.
"On the way back."
Ling Yang asked, "He Yaonian went abroad these past few days, right?"
Mingdai replied indifferently, "I'm not entirely sure."
“I just dropped Fang Li off at the airport; she went to find He Yaonian.”
Mingdai felt a tightness in her chest.
"oh."
Aren't you going to ask why?
Mingdai gripped the steering wheel tightly.
"This is her freedom."
"So carefree?"
Ling Yang said meaningfully, "Fang Li is the most favored granddaughter-in-law of the He family patriarch. Before he passed away, the patriarch hoped that He Yaonian could get married to Fang Li as soon as possible."
Mingdai looked straight ahead, "Fang Li wasn't an adult yet back then, was she?"
"They may be underage, but what does it matter? What does it matter to the wealthy if they get married first and then register their marriage?"
Mingdai remained silent.
Ling Yang reminded Ming Dai.
"He Yaonian's second brother also likes Fang Li quite a bit."
Mingdai's eyelids twitched. This was not something she could control, nor could she influence it.
She knew that Ling Yang also liked He Yaonian very much.
"Why did you personally take Fang Li to the airport? Aren't you two rivals in love?"
Ling Yang didn't know whether she felt helpless, relieved, or had some other deeper emotion.
“I didn’t want to either, but she was the most suitable person for He Yaonian. Everyone was overjoyed when she went.”
Mingdai was struck in the chest.
Ling Yang added, "Reality is just that cruel. Fang Li was born into a good family, there's nothing we can do about it."
Mingdai felt a pang of sadness.
There's really no other way.
After hanging up the phone, Mingdai felt a little reluctant to go back to the He family villa.
She drove to the riverbank and let the night breeze blow for a long time.
When she realized she was feeling cold all over, she turned around and went back to her apartment.
Sure enough, she developed a fever the next day.
Mingdai felt self-loathing, skillfully found some medicine and took it, and went to work without incident.
After a dazed and confused afternoon, Mingdai finally couldn't hold on any longer.
A person went to the hospital to receive an IV drip.
This had happened frequently before. Ever since she married Mo Tingchuan, she had never dared to tell her parents when she was sick or feeling unwell.
Mingdai didn't think anything of it.
But when she woke up, she found Mo Tingchuan sitting in front of her bed.
Mingdai was startled.
"woke up?"
Mo Tingchuan put down the book in his hand and asked Mingdai, "Are you hungry?"
Mingdai looked at her suspiciously, "What are you doing here?"
“I saw it.”
Mingdai: "...Why aren't you resting properly in your hospital room? Where did you go to get treatment?"
Mo Tingchuan did not answer.
He wanted to reach out and touch Mingdai's forehead again.
Mingdai dodged it.
She threw back the covers and got out of bed from the other side.
But her shoes were on Mo Tingchuan's side.
Barefoot, I planned to walk around.
Mo Tingchuan bent down, lifted the high heel, and placed it at her feet.
He even planned to dress her himself.
Mingdai's heart clenched.
This scene is something we haven't seen in a long time.
Mo Tingchuan had done this before to cheer her up.
Mingdai pushed Mo Tingchuan away, "I'll do it myself."
Mo Tingchuan squatted in place for a few seconds before slowly standing up.
The bandage on his head hadn't been removed yet, and his face was somewhat pale.
Mingdai put on her shoes and glanced at Mo Tingchuan.
"Go back and rest."
Mingdai picked up her bag and was about to leave.
"Mingdai".
Mo Tingchuan called her.
"I ordered takeout, shall we eat together?"
"Need not."
Mingdai strode away.
Time flies, and it's the weekend.
He Yaonian and the others have not returned yet.
The longer the battle dragged on, the more worried Mingdai became.
Finally, she couldn't resist and dialed He Yaonian's number.
But Fang Li answered the phone.
"Mingdai, it's me."
Mingdai's heart soared, then plummeted.
She stared blankly at the tiny airplane in the sky.
"oh."
She couldn't say anything except "oh".
Fang Li asked, "What do you need to see Brother Yao Nian for?"
The two suddenly became completely strangers.
We weren't exactly familiar with each other; we just seemed somewhat acquainted because we'd had frequent contact before.
Mingdai opened and closed her mouth for a while before finally saying, "It's nothing."
Fang Li hummed in agreement, "Then I'll hang up."
Mingdai's throat tightened, and she let the other end hang up first.
Mingdai felt a pang of sadness in her heart. She took a few deep breaths and then called He Xingqiong again.
He Xingqiong did not answer.
Mingdai stared at He Xingjian's phone number, but ultimately gave up the idea of dialing it.
Mingdai took her lawyer to the hospital to find Mo Tingchuan.
The one-week deadline has passed.
She sensed something was off when she pushed open the ward door.
I was mentally prepared.
When Mingdai saw Mo Tingchuan lying on the hospital bed with a cold expression, she slowly narrowed her eyes.
Mo Yumei, Mo Qingying, and Qin Weiwei were all in the ward.
The three remained silent, their expressions complex.
