Chapter 347 Fate Likes to Play Tricks on Lovers
Shen Jiheng's abrupt change left Han Xi at a loss. If it was because of his injury that his personality changed so drastically, how could the current events be explained?
Judging from his conversation with this woman, their relationship is definitely not normal.
But instead, he turned the tables and accused himself of being the thief.
Han Xi walked towards him, her eyes filled with anger.
"Shen Jiheng, do you know what you're saying? Why do you think I'm here in the middle of the night?"
Chu Yuntian was surprised to hear the name and said, "Han Xi, so this is the boyfriend you were talking about today. When I came over to help with the ward rounds tonight, I saw a woman in his room."
Shen Jiheng rebuked him unhappily, "Who are you to meddle in other people's business? It seems you don't know that this hospital belongs to me."
Han Xi closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and said heavily, "Enough. I need an explanation. Who is this woman?"
Shen Jiheng turned around and winked at the woman behind him. She shrugged and smiled charmingly, "I understand. I'll be going now. We'll meet again next time."
The woman said she was going back to her room to get her bag, but Han Xi grabbed her as she came out.
She dislikes guessing games and prefers to say things outright on the spot.
The woman shook her hand in displeasure and said aggrievedly, "Ji Heng, look, she wouldn't let me leave, and she even crushed my wrist."
Shen Jiheng immediately stepped forward, grabbed Han Xi's hand, and pulled him over.
Han Xi glared at him angrily: "What do you mean? If you don't explain yourself clearly today, I'm not done with you."
Shen Jiheng raised an eyebrow and said casually, "Since you've seen it, there's no point in hiding it. It's the kind of relationship you've seen. Of course, my feelings for her are just physical; the person I truly love is you."
If it weren't for the fact that Shen Jiheng had a head injury, Han Xi would have slapped him across the face.
She couldn't understand why the man who had been so devoted to her had suddenly changed like this.
Or perhaps I've never truly understood his true nature, and this is what he really is.
Han Xi shook her head. It shouldn't be like this...
Shen Jiheng pinched her chin and said with a wicked smile, "Don't worry, the only person I will marry is you. As long as you nod, we can go and get our marriage certificate tomorrow."
Han Xi slapped his hand away and stepped back. His frivolous words were disheartening.
Chu Yuntian stepped forward and said, "Han Xi, this kind of man is not worth entrusting your life to. You should keep your eyes open."
Shen Jiheng leaned against the wall with his arms crossed, scrutinizing the man closely. A disdainful smile tugged at the corner of his mouth.
"This man seems quite concerned about you. Is he your old flame from abroad? Don't tell me you've remained chaste for me all these years since I left."
He said those words so casually, did he even realize how much it would hurt Han Xi?
Han Xi took a deep breath and asked, "Are you serious about what you're saying?"
Shen Jiheng rubbed his temples, looking somewhat impatient, and yawned, appearing a little sleepy.
"By the way, bring the two children to the hospital tomorrow."
Han Xi looked at him, puzzled, and frowned, saying, "Your current condition is not suitable for meeting them. Let's talk about it in a few days."
Shen Jiheng waved his hand and said casually, "I don't want to know what they think, but I think we should re-examine the paternity test."
Han Xi: "......"
These words stunned Han Xi, who stared incredulously at the man smiling at her.
Seeing her expression, Shen Jiheng smiled and said, "Don't mind me, I didn't mean anything by it. I just felt that it hasn't been truly tested yet, and it wouldn't be good if there were any problems."
Han Xi could accept whatever antics he caused, and she could understand his bad temper.
But he actually doubted the child's paternity, which shows his distrust of her.
Chu Yuntian, who was standing next to her, couldn't stand it anymore and stood up to speak up for her: "You are such an irresponsible man. Do you know how hard it was for Han Xi to raise her child alone abroad back then?"
"It's not your place to speak here, you outsider. She's always had men around her, so who can guarantee the child is mine?"
*Smack!*
As soon as he finished speaking, Han Xi couldn't help but slap him lightly to express her anger.
"Shen Jiheng, you've really gone too far."
Anger surged in Shen Jiheng's eyes as he gritted his teeth and said, "You dare hit me!"
The fierce tone made Chu Yuntian immediately stand in front of Han Xi, worried that the man would retaliate.
Han Xi gently pushed Chu Yuntian away and said gratefully, "Director Chu, you don't need to worry about our affairs. I want to have a serious talk with him today."
Even four years ago, Shen Jiheng would not have treated him with such a terrible attitude. Now, Han Xi felt like a complete stranger to him.
Han Xi suppressed her anger and approached him again, only to find that his eyes no longer held tenderness or love; he was just staring at her coldly.
This shouldn't be happening!
She had finally made up her mind to accept him back, and had even planned to remarry him, so why did he suddenly change?
"Just say what you have to say, I'm very sleepy."
“Tell me that what happened just now was a misunderstanding, that you and that woman have nothing to do with each other, that you have never doubted the child’s parentage, and that we decided to get back together because we truly love each other.”
Han Xi gave him another chance, genuinely wanting to spend her life with this man.
Faced with such sincere eyes, Shen Jiheng remained indifferent.
"Think what you want."
The perfunctory explanation brought tears to Han Xi's eyes, and a hint of sadness appeared in her beautiful eyes.
Is this the end for her and Shen Jiheng?
No matter how hard we try, we still can't be together.
"You need to take good care of your health from now on. I won't come to see you again. As for Han Chuang, I will bring him back to the Gu family. There's no need to trouble you anymore. Don't worry about the child. I will raise him myself."
“I have no objection to how you decide on Han Chuang’s matter, but the child’s identity is quite clear. If he is a member of the Shen family, we will definitely bring him back to raise him.”
Han Xi's eyebrows drooped, and her forehead was furrowed. How could things have turned out so badly?
"I've been lying to you for so long, now it's time to tell you the truth: the child isn't yours, so you don't need to worry about it."
Shen Jiheng's eyes widened upon hearing this, and he angrily grabbed her shoulders, demanding, "Say it again, the child isn't mine?"
Chu Yuntian strode forward and pushed the person away, sternly rebuking, "You are such a shameless man, don't go near her."
Han Xi suddenly felt a numbness in her head, a lack of strength in her body, and a heart-wrenching pain as if it were being torn apart.
This must be what happens when anger overwhelms the mind.
"Director Chu, please take me away."
I don't want to stay any longer, I don't want to say another word to Shen Jiheng.
This moment is even more heartbreaking for her than it was four years ago.
"You're not leaving. Make sure you know the child's identity, or don't force me to use any means necessary."
Han Xi stared at him coldly and said, "Do whatever you want. If you dare to mess around, I'll fight you to the end."
After saying that, he left with Chu Yuntian without looking back, not seeing Shen Jiheng behind him, his face pale, clenching his fists and pounding them against the wall.
