My Wife Longs for Divorce Every Day-Chapter 797 - : What should I do if my wife is a toxic player in the national service games?
Chapter 797: What should I do if my wife is a toxic player in the national service games?
When Xiao Yebai arrived at the hospital ward, Mo Weiyi was lying in bed on a drip.
Standing nearby was Rong An, along with a female doctor in a white coat.
“In the next few days, pay attention to keep the wound dry and clean, sanitize it regularly, change the dressings, and avoid contact with water at all costs; otherwise, infection could easily occur.”
After that, the ward fell silent.
Then, Rong An said, “Okay, I will pay attention.”
The female doctor: “…”
...
She looked at him, then at Mo Weiyi.
Just as she was about to speak, Mo Weiyi spoke first, “I got it, thank you, doctor.”
The female doctor again: “…”
She slightly furrowed her brows.
She did not recognize Mo Weiyi, only that she was very pretty, with bright and delicate features. Even in a patient’s gown, she exuded an aura of a delicate beauty.
She seemed to resemble a top female star who had recently been trending on the internet.
However, the female star was known for being discovered by an international director at a young age and starring in a blockbuster hit.
Over the years, her body of work was solid, her credentials strong, which is why she dared to stir up trouble in the entertainment industry.
The patient, however, was only twenty-one, young yet pregnant. The gynecologist, Dr. Xu, told her that she appeared to be an unmarried pregnant woman…
“Rong An,” Mo Weiyi’s voice had turned cold, “Tell him to leave. I don’t want to see him.”
The him she was referring to was obviously the visitor who had just come in.
The female doctor, couldn’t help but look at Xiao Yebai again.
The man was dressed in a simple white shirt and black trousers. He was very tall, with a pair of frameless glasses. All his features were refined, making him so handsome that it was hard to take your eyes off him.
When the man looked over at her.
Even though it was the bright spring season, his eyes seemed to be flashing with extreme coldness. This made her involuntary shiver…
“May I ask,” he began, his thin lips moving, his voice low and cold, “Where was she injured?”
The female doctor blinked, quickly stuttering out, “Her arm…her arm has been bandaged. The wound is not deep, no stitching is necessary. But do avoid contact with water for the next few days, disinfect and replace the bandages regularly. Once a scab forms, she will be fine.”
Xiao Yebai’s expression didn’t change. “Thank you.”
“…You’re welcome.” The female doctor nodded, quickly turned and left.
She even carefully and considerately closed the door behind her.
Watching the doctor leave, Mo Weiyi’s clenched fingers loosened.
She lowered her head slowly, carefully raising her right hand where a needle was inserted. She let down the sleeve of the patient’s gown on her left arm, concealing the white gauze that was wrapped around it.
She heard Xiao Yebai asks, “What happened to the injury on your arm?”
Mo Weiyi didn’t answer.
She didn’t even raise her head.
Or rather, ever since he had entered, she hadn’t looked at him once.
Rong An explained, “This afternoon while packing up at the law firm, princess accidentally cut her arm with an art knife.”
Xiao Yebai’s brow furrowed, “Where was it bandaged this afternoon?”
Rong An said, “At a small clinic near the law firm. The situation wasn’t serious at the time.”
The implication was very clear.
Xiao Yebai: “…”
He admitted, that when he was at the villa, her overreaction had made him lose his temper.
But the force he used wouldn’t have been enough to worsen her bandaged wound to the point where it bled so profusely that she needed to come to the hospital…
“Rong An, don’t bother arguing with him.” Mo Weiyi’s cold voice interrupted his thoughts, “I don’t want to see him, please kick him out.”
Rong An didn’t get a chance to speak before…
Xiao Yebai said: “Rong An, you handle the discharge procedures.”
Mo Weiyi, enraged, lifted her small face and roared directly at him, “Rong An is my bodyguard, who are you to order him around?”
“Yes, he’s your bodyguard. But he failed in his duties, leading to such a serious injury to your arm. If Grandpa knew, what do you think he would do?” Xiao Yebai’s words were calm but deliberately provoking.
“Are you threatening me with Grandpa?” Mo Weiyi said, clearly angry, “My wound initially wasn’t serious. Why has it become like this? Who is responsible? Don’t you have any idea, Xiao Yebai? You hurt me like this, and now you have the nerve to accuse Rong An? I’m telling you, even if Grandpa learns about this, he will only blame you! It has nothing to do with Rong An.”
“Princess, this matter is indeed my fault.” The one who spoke was Rong An.
Then he looked at Xiao Yebai, “Young Master Xiao, the doctor said that the princess’s wound on her arm is prone to infection, so it’s best to stay in the hospital for observation for a couple of days.”
“It was my decision to stay in the hospital.” Mo Weiyi interrupted him, “Because I don’t want to see you, you should leave! Go on, leave!”
Xiao Yebai’s mind was complex.
Wanting to stay in the hospital just for an arm injury?
This type of child’s trick wouldn’t fool him.
But her words now were undoubtedly very clear.
Her injury wasn’t severe enough to need hospitalization, but she just doesn’t want to see him, so she requested to be hospitalized.
It seemed that she and Rong An were tricking him. Xiao Yebai’s creased brow finally relaxed a bit, but his tone remained cold and firm, “You’ve hurt your arm, there’s no need to stay in the hospital. At home, there are servants to take care of you at least…”
“But I like staying in the hospital.” Mo Weiyi appeared to enjoy opposing him, “Rong An, later you can go back and ask Aunt Zhou to prepare some food to bring over. And, have her pack my personal belongings and some clothing to bring over too. Have her stay here with me tonight.”
Rong An nodded, “Okay.”
“I’m a bit tired now.” Mo Weiyi added, “Help me lower the bed, I want to sleep for a bit.”
Rong An walked to the end of the bed and was about to reach out his right hand…
“Knock, knock, knock.”
The room door was knocked a few times, then directly pushed open.
“Weiyi!”
It was Su Wanwan.
She had already rushed in, with Huo Jingshen following behind her.
Mo Weiyi quickly said, “Rong An, you don’t need to lower it.”
Su Wanwan approached the bed and carefully observed Mo Weiyi.
Finding that besides her face being somewhat pale, her overall spirit seemed to be okay. She finally let out a sigh of relief.
She then immediately turned and glared at Xiao Yebai, “Have you no shame coming here? Didn’t you mention divorce? And, were you the one who put Weiyi in the hospital again? You scumbag, do you believe I will…umm…”
Her mouth was covered.
Huo Jingshen easily held her in his arms, his large hand firmly over her lips.
He looked at the woman on the bed, raised his eyebrows and said, “Since Miss Mo isn’t seriously hurt, we’ll leave first.”
“Hmm hmm hmm hmm! (I’m not going)” Su Wanwan protested with wide eyes.
Mo Weiyi then said, “Thank you, Mr. Huo. Please take Wanwan home first.”
Huo Jingshen walked back, pulling Su Wanwan along. But why would Su Wanwan be willing to go?
She hadn’t asked about Mo Weiyi’s condition yet. Besides, Xiao Yebai was still here. She couldn’t let this scumbag bully her best friend.
So, she grabbed the doorframe tightly…
Her unyielding appearance made Huo Jingshen want to laugh.
Helpless.
Updat𝓮d from freewēbnoveℓ.com.
He whispered, “I can let you stay, but can you please talk nicely?”
Su Wanwan quickly nodded, “Hmm! (Yes)”
But when Huo Jingshen let go…
“Xiao Yebai, you bastard!” Su Wanwan immediately rushed over, spitting out a string of words. “You ungrateful dog! Bastard! Scum of a man! Do you think you’ve treated Weiyi fairly? You’re a beast; no, you’re worse than a beast! You’re nothing more than an ungrateful wretch!”
…
Perhaps confident with her husband present and with both Rong An and Mo Weiyi in the room, her anger was unabated, and her words came out sharply.
Huo Jingshen: “…”
How to deal with a wife who curses like a master?
While facing her reproach and abuse, Xiao Yebai seemed deaf to all of it, maintaining a stone face, absolutely emotionless, and showing no reaction…
Eventually, it was Huo Jingshen who could stand it no longer and stepped forward to pull her away, “It’s prohibited to make noise in the hospital.”
Su Wanwan was still not pacified, “Lost your nerve? Feeling guilty? Damn, I regret not being harsher when Weiyi was still schooling. I should have stopped her from being with you…”
“What is with all the noise?” Suddenly, a sharp female voice broke in.
A forty-something matron stood outside in the corridor, looking severe and angry.
Because the door of the ward was not closed, and the noise Su Wanwan made was too loud, they finally attracted complaints.
With Su Wanwan still furious and everyone else remaining silent, Huo Jingshen was left to apologize. “I’m so sorry; we weren’t aware of the rules.”
The matron glared at everyone in the room, “No shouting is allowed in the hospital. Can’t you sit down and settle your issues in a more civilized manner? Can you please consider the needs of other patients who are trying to rest?”
“Okay, we understand. We are really sorry,” Huo Jingshen apologized again.
Perhaps impressed with his polite demeanor, the matron’s face relaxed a little. After giving a few more reminders, she then turned and left.
Huo Jingshen quickly shut the door and shot Su Wanwan an accusing look.
The latter: “…”
Damn, she hadn’t finished venting yet.
“Rong An, you can go back first,” Mo Weiyi was the first to speak.
Rong An nodded, “Okay.”
He turned to Su Wanwan, “Could you please help take care of Weiyi in my absence?”
Su Wanwan nodded immediately, “Sure, with me here, you have nothing to worry about.”
Mo Weiyi then asked her, “Wanwan, have you had dinner yet? What would you like to eat? I can have Aunt Zhou cook something and send it over.”
Su Wanwan quickly pulled the man’s hand down, “Not necessary, just ask Aunt Zhou to cook something you like.”
With that said, she quickly walked over, bypassed Xiao Yebai, and sat down on the only chair beside Mo Weiyi’s bed.
She did this as if claiming her power and right over the place.
After she was settled, she waved her hand dismissively, “Alright, alright, you all can leave now. Just with me here will be enough.”
Huo Jingshen: “…”
Feeling a bit uncomfortable.
The spoiled child is acting willful again.
As for Xiao Yebai.
From start to finish, not a single glance was bestowed upon her. He just quietly stood there, his gaze fixed on Mo Weiyi’s face throughout.
Once Rong An left, the room fell into silence.
Thus Su Wanwan spoke again, “We girls have female-to-female talk, what are you boys doing here?”
Huo Jingshen squinted a bit and finally spoke, “I’ll give you half an hour, I’m going out for a smoke.”
Su Wanwan rolled her eyes mentally.
As expected.
Now that he knows she’s not pregnant, his attitude has changed, hasn’t it?
Jerk!
But on her face was an innocent smile, her voice even sweeter, “You remember what I just told you, right?” She sternly warned him not to reveal Weiyi’s pregnancy!
Huo Jingshen’s eyebrows twitched.
He remained noncommittal.
Because even if he didn’t tell, Xiao Yebai would eventually find out.
If he couldn’t even tell that his wife was pregnant and had to be hospitalized, he would have to be a pig…
“I’m talking to you!” Su Wanwan gritted her teeth, “Did you hear that?”
It was clearly a warning.
Huo Jingshen nodded vaguely, “I heard.”
After he turned around and left, Su Wanwan turned to Xiao Yebai, “Mr. Xiao, aren’t you leaving?”
Xiao Yebai didn’t respond.
Su Wanwan frowned, her tone becoming more serious, “Mr. Xiao, can’t you hear what I’m saying?”
Xiao Yebai still didn’t respond.
Su Wanwan was pissed, “I said, Weiyi and I have some matters to discuss, you can leave!”
She swore, if not for Mo Weiyi’s current state of health which could complicate things if there was a fight… Su Wanwan was on the verge of unleashing the primal power within her.
What she hated most were cheaters, particularly one like Xiao Yebai who acted so calm and collected, not saying a word, making her feel like a shrew.
Looking at the man’s unyielding demeanor, Su Wanwan was so angry that she laughed, “It’s only now that I found out, Mr. Xiao, you really have a thick face, don’t you? I’m what Weiyi needs right now, a friend. Do you understand? Are you deaf? Or just old? Are you pretending not to understand human language? Do you need me to say it in English?”
The first to speak was Mo Weiyi though, “You leave, I don’t want to see you right now.”
Despite her words, Xiao Yebai remained as cool and detached as always.
He seemed impervious to attacks.
Unaffected by any poisons.
Su Wanwan remarked, “Weiyi, I’m impressed. How did you put up with him and his attitude as if he’s the best find in a dung heap for 10 years?”
If Huo Jingshen dared to show her that kind of attitude, she would have left.
Such an unpleasant, cold man, how did Mo Weiyi put up with him?
Hearing her words, Mo Weiyi lowered her head and didn’t say anything.
But this action only made Su Wanwan even angrier.
In her eyes, Mo Weiyi was always an innocent little princess, radiant, optimistic, cheerful, and proud.
Full of life and vivacity.
But every time when it came to matters involving Xiao Yebai, she would turn into a miserable, defeated creature…
Su Wanwan stood up, directly pressed the call button beside the bed, “If you, Mr. Xiao, still refuse to leave, then I will have to call the hospital security to remove you. If any conflict ensues and you get hit, don’t say I didn’t warn you.”
“Two choices.” Xiao Yebai finally spoke, “First, discharge from the hospital and go home with me. Second, transfer to a better hospital.”
Upon hearing this, Su Wanwan was infuriated.
As expected, Mo Weiyi quickly said, “I’ll stay in this hospital.”
“Then I’ll stay here with you.” Xiao Yebai replied even quicker.
Mo Weiyi: “…”
Su Wanwan was also: “…”
With the man’s casual and certain demeanor, along with his cool and impassive appearance, it seemed like he really intended to stay here.
For a moment, Su Wanwan didn’t know what to do.
Until the female doctor appeared along with two nurses, Su Wanwan immediately said, “Can you call the hospital security? Remove this man, he has been disturbing my friend’s rest.”
The female doctor looked at Xiao Yebai, and was just about to speak…
“I am her husband.”
One sentence casually thrown out left the female doctor in shocked silence.
Su Wanwan raged, “But they are in the process of getting a divorce now. It’s almost seven o’clock and he’s still here, leading to my friend being unable to rest. Her emotional state is very poor. I demand you to have the hospital security called in right this moment. If not, I will report this to the police!”
Not knowing if it was due to Xiao Yebai’s imposing aura, for a moment, the female doctor just froze in place, not daring to really call in security.
“Since you don’t want to leave,” said Mo Weiyi, her voice suddenly ringing out.
Xiao Yebai’s gaze fell silently upon her face.
The next second…
“If you won’t leave, then I will,” muttered Mo Weiyi, before reaching to remove the injection needle from her right arm.
Su Wanwan, with quick reflexes, rushed to grab her arms, “What are you doing, Weiyi!”
Mo Weiyi didn’t possess much strength, and was swiftly pulled away by her, with her face becoming deathly pale due to the potential consequence of her extreme emotions, looked in truly bad shape.
The female doctor rushed over to examine the injection needle.
Su Wanwan turned around, “Mr. Xiao, you forced Weiyi to…”
She’d barely spoken a few words when Xiao Yebai abruptly turned around and left.
Su Wanwan’s unfinished sentence was left hanging in mid-air.
Wait, he just left?
“Fortunately, there was no backflow,” the female doctor said, “I have secured the needle securely again, you should be careful not to pull it again.”
Su Wanwan didn’t have the luxury to care about that. As soon as the female doctor left with the nurse, she immediately turned on Mo Weiyi, “Are you out of your mind? Would you casually pull out the needle? Luckily I was fast enough…”
“If I didn’t do this, would he leave?”
Su Wanwan: “…”
So it was all an act.
She sat down on the chair, “Are you okay? What about the child in your belly?”
“The doctor asked me to stay hospitalized for observation for these few days.”
Su Wanwan nodded, “So Mr. Xiao doesn’t know yet? How did you hide it just then?”
“Young Master Rong An bribed the doctor, saying that I hurt my arm.”
“Your arm? Which arm?” Su Wanwan asked, puzzled.
Mo Weiyi raised her left hand.
Su Wanwan once again fell silent: “…”
She seemed to have just grabbed her left arm earlier, but … Xiao Yebai probably didn’t notice, right?
Otherwise, why would he have been provoked to leave?
“Weiyi, what are you planning to do? Are you really going to get a divorce?” Thinking of what Yan Shunhua had said, Su Wanwan tentatively asked, “Have you asked Mr. Xiao? Did he really sleep with Tian Ye? Did they have that kind of relationship?”
She really didn’t understand. If Xiao Yebai truly liked Tian Ye, why did he insist on staying in the ward just now?
Was it because he knew he was wrong?
So he was seeking Mo Weiyi’s forgiveness?
My God! Even more despicable…
“It doesn’t matter anymore,” Mo Weiyi said.
“How can it not matter? Didn’t you want to leave him just because he had sex with Tian Ye?”
“This morning, I found out that he had known a long time ago that my father and my aunt were together. Not only that,” Mo Weiyi took a deep breath, “He also knew that my grandfather really wanted this child, because this child is the only lineage of the Mo Family, and the future heir. This may threaten his position in the Mo Family. So, he used me, using my hands to get rid of the child…”
After hearing all this, Su Wanwan was flabbergasted.
No wonder she was so frantic in her act just now – all so she could make Xiao Yebai leave…
She understood Mo Weiyi too well, she was the typical case of… “blinded by love”.
A girl raised like a princess since childhood, to whom money, wealth, and power are all too common. Precisely because they are too common, she does not value them as much as others do. Instead, she values emotions above all else.
In Nancheng, there are families that are more powerful than the Mo Family, and men who are more outstanding and perfect than Xiao Yebai. But why did Mo Weiyi choose this adopted son of the Mo Family? Beyond love, she couldn’t think of any other reason.
Yet, Xiao Yebai chose to use her, only to safeguard a position and power in the Mo Family which was worthless in Mo Weiyi’s eyes…
Su Wanwan couldn’t understand if Xiao Yebai was too ruthless, or… too foolish?
Because if any other man was in his position, he wouldn’t need to do anything and just make Mo Weiyi happy. The old Mr. Mo’s beloved granddaughter is the apple of his eye, wouldn’t anything she wishes come true?
But then again, if Xiao Yebai really was that kind of fawning man, Mo Weiyi probably wouldn’t fall for him…
But Xiao Yebai should understand this principle, so why did he still…
Okay, the more Su Wanwan thought about it, the more confused she became.
This man was truly a mystery…
**
In the corridor.
The female doctor had just stepped out when she looked up to see a tall and forbidding man standing there.
He stared at her coldly, as if he had been waiting for a long time.
The female doctor was already feeling guilty, looking at him made her feel more panicky.
She quickly averted her gaze, wanting to leave, but Xiao Yebai had already stepped forward.
“How is she?”
The female doctor had no choice but to reply, “The patient’s emotions have stabilized now.”
She even added, “Actually, the injury on her arm isn’t serious, regular dressing changes can heal it.”
“Is that so?” Xiao Yebai’s tone was cold, “Giving patients a false medical report, if discovered by the hospital, wouldn’t that get you punished? And even have your medical license revoked?”
The female doctor’s heart skipped a beat, her frightened face turning pale, “I… I don’t know what you mean…”
**
Huo Jingshen finished his cigarette and returned punctually to pick up his companion.
As he arrived in the corridor, he saw Xiao Yebai standing at the door of the ward.
He didn’t push open the door and go in, the door remained tightly shut and he stood there like a statue.
Huo Jingshen approached him and coughed quietly.
No response.
“Mr. Xiao?”
Xiao Yebai still gave no reaction.
Huo Jingshen raised an eyebrow then extended his hand to pat the man’s shoulder.
Xiao Yebai seemed to finally react, turning his head to look at the newcomer.
The trace of red in the depth of his eyes took Huo Jingshen by surprise.
He is…
“What happened?”
Xiao Yebai’s face quickly returned to its usual aloof appearance, “Nothing.”
Huo Jingshen: “…”
He glanced at the door, “You were chased out by Miss Mo…”
“By Miss Mo?” the question almost slipped out of his mouth.
So he was so upset that his eyes turned red?
Xiao Yebai answered irrelevantly, “Mr. Huo, can you please stay here with Wanwan for a while? I need to leave.”
Huo Jingshen raised his eyebrows.
Before he could speak, Xiao Yebai had turned and left.
Huo Jingshen retracted his gaze, reached out, and found that the door had, indeed, been locked from the inside.
He knocked on the door.
It took a while for Su Wanwan to come and open the door. The moment she saw him, she asked, “What’s up? You’re in such a hurry. It’s only been half an hour. I want to stay with Weiyi a bit more…”
Huo Jingshen said, “That’s fine.”
Su Wanwan: “…”
She was stunned for a moment, “Aren’t you asking me to go home?”
Damn, she assumed too much of herself.
Huo Jingshen said, “I know you two are best friends. Chat for a while, there’s no rush.”
After saying this, he sat down on the sofa and picked up a magazine from the coffee table.
Su Wanwan, once again: “…”
**
Lishui Bay Villa.
When Xiao Yebai walked into the living room, Aunt Zhou hurried out upon hearing his voice, “Young Master Xiao, the princess’s luggage is almost packed, the food will be ready soon, and you can take it to the hospital as soon as it’s served.”
“No rush,” Xiao Yebai asked, “Where is her luggage?”
“Upstairs, two suitcases. Young Master Rong An will fetch it later.”
Xiao Yebai nodded, “Where is Rong An?”
“He’s in the guest room. Shall I call him for you?”
Xiao Yebai said, “I’ll just go to him.”
“…Okay.”
Xiao Yebai was already in front of the guest room.
This is the guest room closest to the living room, and the door was currently closed.
He reached out a hand, and pushed the door open.
Rong An was sitting at his computer. Hearing the noise, he looked up, then stood up, “Young Master Xiao.”
His expressions, his movements were very composed.
Xiao Yebai said, “The meal is ready. Go fetch the luggage.”
“Okay.”
After Rong An responded, he shut down his computer and left with a blank expression.
Xiao Yebai stood in the room, his gaze sweeping over everything inside.
…
When Xiao Yebai came out of the guest room again, Rong An was already carrying the luggage downstairs.
With the suitcase in his right hand, as soon as he came down the stairs, Xiao Yebai said, “Put the luggage down first.”
Rong An glanced at him, and put down the suitcase.
The man walked over, slightly bent down, and opened the suitcase.
Without saying a word, he just reached in and took out a bag filled with toiletries. He unzipped it and carefully inspected each item before putting it back.
When he was done, he zipped up the bag. “Everything is new.”
Rong An’s expression didn’t change, “The princess said she wanted everything new.”
Xiao Yebai remarked casually, “Is there only one suitcase?”
Rong An: “There’s another one upstairs.”
Xiao Yebai nodded, stood up and said, “Take it to the car.”
Rong An quickly picked up the suitcase and left.
Watching his retreating figure, Xiao Yebai’s pair of black eyes behind his glasses showed no emotion.
**
Half an hour later, at the hospital.
Rong An and Aunt Zhou came over soon.
The steaming nutritious meal was put on a mobile dining table and pushed to Mo Weiyi.
Huo Jingshen lifted his wrist and looked at the time.
Mo Weiyi said, “Wanwan, you can go back first with Mr. Huo. Aunt Zhou and Rong An are here, that’s enough.”
Having servants there made Su Wanwan feel more assured, especially since Xiao Yebai was not around, she was even more relieved.
After giving some instructions, she left with Huo Jingshen.
When they reached the elevator, as soon as the door opened and they saw the man inside, Su Wanwan flew into a rage, “Holy shit, why are you here again?”
He was like a haunting ghost!
The haunting ghost Xiao Yebai gave a slight nod to Huo Jingshen and quickly walked away.
From beginning to end, he acted as if Su Wanwan didn’t exist.
Su Wanwan was infuriated, “Hey! Why do you think you’re above everyone else…”
Her hand was grabbed, and Huo Jingshen quickly pulled her into the elevator.
As the elevator doors shut, Su Wanwan could only glare at him angrily, “Have you and him become allies now?”
Jerk!
Jerk Huo Jingshen calmly pressed the button for the ground floor.
Su Wanwan was suspicious, “By the way, you didn’t tell him about Weiyi’s pregnancy, did you?”
Huo Jingshen said, “No.”
“Really?”
Huo Jingshen: “…”
He furrowed his eyebrows, about to speak…
“By the way, why did you suddenly suspect that I was pregnant?” Su Wanwan suddenly asked.
Huo Jingshen pressed his thin lips together, saying nothing.
“Who told you I was pregnant?” Su Wanwan seemed to have caught on to something, her beautiful phoenix eyes staring at him, “And you came to the company so quickly to find me. Even talking to my boss about taking time off…Was it the chairman you talked to?”
She opened her eyes wide. “So, was it the chairman who told you?”
Huo Jingshen: “…”
It certainly seemed so.
“When did you become so close with her?” It seemed that the two had only met once or twice, and those times were all because of her….
Upon hearing this, Huo Jingshen just looked down at her delicate white hand, gave it a squeeze, and said calmly, “Not close.”
“If you’re not close, then why would she tell you about my pregnancy?”
“Tonight, the matron wanted us to have dinner at the manor. I called her to excuse myself. Perhaps the words you said to her led her to suspect that you were ‘making friends out of nothing’, and so, she thought you were pregnant,” Huo Jingshen explained calmly. “As an elder, she casually mentioned it all to me, advising me to be good to you and not to cheat.”
“Really?” Su Wanwan mumbled, coughing slightly, feeling a bit guilty, “Then…why didn’t the matron tell me about the dinner?”
“I’ve already told her about it, so she didn’t contact you again.”
“Really?” Su Wanwan still felt something was off.
