Chapter 1277: Chapter 1276: Wooing My Wife Is a Life-or-Death Struggle (Part 1)

Who knows when Zhong Shixia will come back, if she runs into this...

His expression grew increasingly grim.

"It was Auntie who told me. She said you called her last night saying you were at the hospital, so she asked me to come over and check on you. I brought you breakfast."

"I’ve already eaten, you can leave."

Qiao Yuchu’s expression changed slightly, with a hint of grievance, "Zhai En..."

"I still need to think about the script."

Mentioning the script, Qiao Yuchu’s face almost couldn’t hold it together!

Thinking of the online comments made her feel like she’d been slapped multiple times, her face already swollen from the blows!

Though she was furious inside, she understood the man before her—once he made a decision, he never changed it.

She didn’t dare to provoke him either.

If she truly angered Zhai En, no one could withstand his wrath!

Even if she was seething inside, she could only endure it.

It’s okay, what’s a role anyway, as long as she becomes Mrs. Zhai, won’t she have whatever she wants in the future!

What does the entertainment industry amount to!

The position of the Zhai Family’s young mistress is her ultimate pursuit!

Thinking of this, Qiao Yuchu put on a smile again and placed the thermos on the table.

"Zhai En, aren’t you hungry? Have something to eat first."

"I’ve already eaten. Don’t you understand human language!" Zhai En’s tone was unkind.

His gaze grew more urgent, glancing at the door from time to time.

Praying in his heart that Xia Shi wouldn’t come back at this time, if she saw this, even if he had ten mouths, he couldn’t explain it away.

Being yelled at, Qiao Yuchu felt a bit scared, "Zhai En, we’re engaged, and next month we’re getting married..."

The hand under the blanket instantly clenched, a trace of aggression flashed in his eyes, but it was quickly replaced by calm.

"You don’t need to remind me, I’ll be back next month for the wedding. I’m very busy lately, don’t come and bother me if you have nothing else."

Qiao Yuchu wanted to say more, but Zhai En was already displeased, so she didn’t dare to persist.

She could only leave for now.

With only half a month left until the wedding, before then, she must not let anything unexpected happen!

As for Zhong Shixia...

A flash of ruthlessness passed through Qiao Yuchu’s eyes.

In the ward, only Zhai En was left, and he breathed a sigh of relief—fortunately, Zhong Shixia hadn’t come back yet.

Otherwise, if she had seen it, she’d surely misunderstand again.

Soon, only half a month left, and then he’d be able to provide an explanation to her and the child!

After waiting for half an hour, Xia Shi still hadn’t returned, making Zhai En somewhat anxious.

What’s going on, how could buying breakfast take so long?

Could it be...

Thinking of a certain possibility, Zhai En’s face suddenly changed!

He hurriedly took out his phone and called Xia Shi.

"Hello, the number you have dialed is not reachable..."

Blocked. 𝑓𝑟𝑒𝘦𝓌𝑒𝑏𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝒸𝘰𝑚

"Damn it!"

He ripped out the needle in his hand, enduring the intense pain to get out of bed, disregarding the doctor’s strong objections to his discharge.

She knew, she definitely knew!

He couldn’t even imagine her mood right then.

Xia Shi didn’t know how she got back home, she collapsed onto the bed, clutching her faintly aching heart, her body curled into a ball.

"Zhai En and I are already engaged, and we’re getting married next month..."

Qiao Yuchu’s words kept magnifying in her mind, as if her head was about to explode, the suffocating pain almost tearing her apart.

He was getting married, and the bride... was not her.

Zhong Shixia, when will you stop debasing yourself!

Hasn’t that man hurt you enough? Why do you still cling so shamefully!

You deserve it; all this pain is self-inflicted!

Her head throbbed with pain, her heart felt increasingly uncomfortable, and scenes from five years ago kept flashing in her mind.

The pain of being corroded by sulfuric acid, the blood flowing between her legs...
