Chapter 46 Wanting to Go Back to the Old Enemy Again
Han Xi closed her eyes, but her mind was filled with images of Shen Jiheng protecting that woman.
I clearly overheard his conversation with Assistant Qin in the study last time, and from their discussion, I sensed that Shen Jiheng and she had a transactional relationship, not a romantic one as it appeared.
However, his overreaction overturned his own assumptions.
So what secret is hidden here?
Upon arriving at Hengtian Hospital, Han Xi went directly to Professor Yang and explained the situation so that he could examine her immediately.
"Mrs. Shen, according to your examination report, you have indeed sprained two ribs that were recovering. I suggest you be hospitalized for observation to avoid any other problems."
Han Xi shook her head: "Prescribe me painkillers, I don't want to be hospitalized."
The thought of Gu Hanxi being in this hospital made Han Xi not want to step inside.
Professor Yang expressed his concern: "You should be hospitalized for observation at least tonight. If the pain gets severe in the middle of the night, you might faint."
Before Han Xi could respond, Zhuo Qingqian quickly nodded in agreement, "Okay, I'll go and handle the formalities for her right away. Xi Xi, you have to listen to the doctor this time. I can't let anything happen to my best friend."
Han Xi couldn't persuade her otherwise, so she had no choice but to agree, "But it's agreed that we'll only stay for one night."
Zhuo Qingqian nodded with a smile and followed the nurse to complete the formalities.
Zhuo Qingqian finished checking the receipts and was about to return when she was grabbed and pulled aside just as she reached the stairwell.
"Qianqian, why are you avoiding me? I also heard that you went to the Crown Club to find male models."
Zhuo Qingqian shook off his hand, and the thought that Han Xi was hospitalized today because he was framed by this man's good sister made her furious.
"Can't I just avoid you when I'm tired of you? What if I feel empty and lonely so I go to male models? What does that have to do with you?"
"Am I not your man?"
"No, what? Is it that you don't like your new love and want to go back to your ex, or did you make some bet with someone else?"
Back then, Zhuo Qingqian was a renowned beauty in Chongqing. She was successful in her career and loved to have fun. She often appeared at clubs, attracting the attention of many wealthy young men.
However, this beautiful woman had a cold and aloof personality, and seemed indifferent to everyone, which made these young men even more interested.
Gu Beichen, known as the "Crown Prince," made a bet with his friends that he could win over this woman in a month, and then dump her in public.
Gu Beichen's friends were waiting to see him make a fool of himself, and they all placed big bets. Unexpectedly, Gu Beichen actually succeeded in winning over Zhuo Qingqian.
Gu Beichen had actually fallen for Zhuo Qingqian while pursuing her, but because he was concerned about his image and wanted to fulfill his bet with his friends, he dumped Zhuo Qingqian in public.
Little did she know that it was Zhuo Qingqian's birthday that day. She thought her boyfriend was going to prepare a surprise for her, but he broke up with her in public, making her a laughing stock.
Afterwards, Gu Beichen made all sorts of efforts to salvage the relationship, but no matter how he tried to prove it, Zhuo Qingqian no longer believed him.
However, Zhuo Qingqian still harbored some feelings for him, and the two, whose feelings remained unresolved, became little-known bed partners.
“I know you still hold a grudge about what happened back then. I know I was wrong. I want to be with you for real. Give me a chance.”
Zhuo Qingqian frowned. "You're so annoying. I've already told you I'm not interested in you. In the past, I thought it was nice to have a steady man by my side, but now I find it meaningless."
"Is it because of Han Xi that you left me? This woman hurt my sister, and I haven't even settled the score with her yet. Are you trying to sow discord between us behind our backs?"
Zhuo Qingqian was furious; this man was a born doting brother.
He believed whatever Gu Hanxi said or did.
“Listen to me carefully. This is something your scheming sister did to frame my friend. I warned her not to talk nonsense, or I won’t forgive her.”
"I believe Xixi wouldn't lie."
"Then you can continue to believe me and don't talk to me, or I'll curse you every time I see you."
"Shallowly..."
"Shut up and don't call me that. I have nothing to do with the Gu family."
Zhuo Qingqian turned and ran back to the elevator to avoid the man. Sometimes she really envied Gu Hanxi, how come she was surrounded by brainless people who were at her beck and call?
When Shen Jiheng returned home, he found that Han Xi was not there again, which must be because she was angry about what happened today.
After calming down, he realized something was wrong. Han Xi had already offered to help, so why would he need to hurt Gu Hanxi?
Moreover, it would be incredibly foolish to attack someone who knew they were right outside the door.
So there was a misunderstanding, which is why he came back to ask for clarification.
Shen Jiheng sighed and went back to his room, just in time to see Aunt Wang tidying up Han Xi's toiletries.
"Aunt Wang, what are you doing?"
"Young Master, you're back. Madam's friend just called and asked me to prepare some toiletries and clothes. She'll be coming to pick them up later."
It's Zhuo Qingqian!
Han Xi doesn't stay at her house often, so why are these things still coming?
Did she mention how his wife was doing?
"No, they just told me not to tell you."
Now look what's happened, he just happened to see it, and he's said everything that should and shouldn't be said.
Shen Jiheng was curious as to why Zhuo Qingqian had asked the nanny not to tell him; there must be something wrong with it.
When will she arrive?
"A few more minutes."
"Okay, don't mention anything later."
Aunt Wang nodded. She was used to the strange behavior of the young master and his wife.
Sure enough, a few minutes later Zhuo Qingqian parked her car at the door. When Aunt Wang gave her the things, she specifically asked if Shen Jiheng had returned.
Aunt Wang said she didn't know as Shen Jiheng had instructed, and only then did Zhuo Qingqian leave with peace of mind.
Shen Jiheng instructed the driver to follow Zhuo Qingqian's car at a distance, only to discover that the car had driven to Hengtian Hospital.
Thinking about the daily necessities she asked for, could it be that Han Xi is hospitalized?
Is she feeling unwell again?
In the ward, Han Xi was curled up on the hospital bed, covered in sweat. She hadn't expected that the pain, which had started as a dull ache, would become unbearable.
"Professor Yang, look, I listened to you and went to the hospital obediently. Now my wound hurts so much. Could you give me an injection of painkiller?"
Professor Yang sighed helplessly: "You were in the most critical period of your recovery right now. The injury that had finally healed has been reopened by this fall. If it breaks again, it will hurt even more than the first time."
"I heard everything, so could you please get your injection first before you talk to me about these things?" Han Xi was in so much pain that she couldn't bear it anymore.
"This medicine is bad for your health and will have serious side effects. I'll arrange for a nurse to give you physical pain relief."
"Too slow, maybe next time. Right now, I just want to get a good night's sleep."
"But you really don't intend to let Mr. Shen know about these things? He is your husband."
"No, he's the one who caused me to fall."
As soon as she finished speaking, the ward door opened, and there stood the culprit, carrying toiletries. He had stopped Zhuo Qingqian on the way and taken them from her.
He hadn't expected that his slip would cause Han Xi to fall; at the time, he was only focused on Gu Han Xi and hadn't noticed her injury.
Han Xi pulled the blanket over her head. "Professor Yang, could you please get rid of this person for me? I don't want to see him."
Shen Jiheng strode in, "You seem to have no idea who's in charge at this hospital. No one can kick me out."
