Fu Nanxiao's words made him fall into deep thought. He thought of how Jiang Yilai would always consult him no matter what problems she encountered back then, but now she remained silent in the face of such a dangerous situation.
However, he still refused to admit that he was the one who caused the problem, and that it was Fu Nanxiao's existence that changed things.
"If I hadn't met you when I returned to China, Lai Lai and I would still be the same as before."
“Even if you two are still the same as before, you need to understand that you are just friends. You need to know your place. The person she loves is me.”
Li Luyao's eyes darkened, a hint of resentment flashing across them.
For so many years, he had never received Jiang Yilai's love, but whenever this man appeared in her life, she would take the initiative to get close to him.
What exactly is it about me that I lack compared to him?
Seeing that both of them were angry, Jiang Yilai quickly waved her hand to interrupt their argument.
"I feel a little dizzy and want to rest. You all go back first."
Fu Nanxiao spoke first: "In this situation, of course I'll stay with you."
“Then I’ll stay too.” Li Luyao couldn’t give them a chance to be alone together.
Jiang Yilai waved her hand: "I don't need any of that. I just want to be alone for a while, please."
Hearing her tone, the two men exchanged a glance and left resentfully.
Although the two had left, Jiang Yilai still felt depressed. She didn't want to provoke further conflict between them, but judging from what had just happened, Li Luyao probably resented Fu Nanxiao even more.
The next day~
As soon as it was light, Jiang Yilai prepared to complete the discharge procedures and go home.
Last night, Fu Nanxiao forced her to be hospitalized for observation; otherwise, she would have left long ago.
To her surprise, as soon as she stepped out of the ward, she found Fu Nanxiao sitting on a chair in the opposite aisle.
The moment the door opened, Fu Nanxiao also opened his eyes, and the two stared at each other.
Fu Nanxiao smiled and greeted him first: "Did you sleep well last night?"
Jiang Yilai hesitated for a few moments before finally saying what she wanted to say.
"Did you come here very early this morning, or did you stay overnight?"
"Take a guess!"
Fu Nanxiao stood up and stretched, which said it all.
Jiang Yilai shook her head. She really didn't expect that this man would sit outside all night for her sake.
"Why don't you go back or come into the ward? Why can't you sit here all night?"
Could Fu Nanxiao really have done this?
No one would believe that the cold-blooded man who once seemed so heartless and ruthless would actually go to such lengths for her.
Fu Nanxiao stepped forward and rubbed her head. "Last night I saw you were uncomfortable and I was worried that you were in danger, so I waited here."
Should we call him foolish or too devoted, considering so much for her?
Seeing her bright, sparkling eyes, Fu Nanxiao leaned closer.
"How about that? Aren't you touched?"
Jiang Yilai pushed him away. If Fu Nanxiao continued like this, she was really afraid that she would lose control of her feelings for him.
Fu Nanxiao took her hand and walked together, but Jiang Yilai quickly pulled his hand away.
"I need to go through some paperwork now, so don't cause trouble here."
"You can leave these things to Assistant Qi and the others. I'll take you home to rest."
"I'm free right now, let's finish the cases I have on hand first."
"You really are a workaholic, Thirteen Sister. You've only just been discharged from the hospital and you're already thinking about work."
"There's no other way. You know this case involves a lot of people. It'll be good for everyone if we handle it as soon as possible."
