Chapter 1040 (2/2)

When she was younger, she’d thought her parents were unreasonable. She thought that they despised the poor and curried favor with the rich. But now, she realized that it was because they were more mature and more experienced than her. They’d been able to see that the relations.h.i.+p between her and s.h.i.+ Xiang would lead to no good result.

…

Eleven at night.

Mo Liuxi was still in the hospital for the IV drip. With a frown, he raised his head to look at the bottle from time to time.

“Are you in a rush?” asked Nian Junting lazily. “You have no wife waiting for you at home. It’ll be okay no matter how long this takes you. Isn’t that right?”

Mo Liuxi glanced at him blandly and said, “You seem to be in a rush to go home.”

“I am.” Nian Junting nodded. “You may not understand how a married man like me feels.”

Mo Liuxi was speechless.

He had a wife, and he always bragged about that.

“Thank you, really, for staying here with me so late at night.” Mo Liuxi turned the corners of his lips down.

“I have to. You are Sangsang’s brother. I’m doing what I should do.” After saying that, Nian Junting took out his phone and started looking at a picture of his wife. He missed her so much.

“Please peel an orange for me. I’m thirsty,” said Mo Liuxi.

Nian Junting opened a bottle of spring water, handed it to him, and said, “Your other hand is not disabled. Drink it yourself.”

Mo Liuxi repeated, “I said that I want an orange.”

“No. I only peel oranges for your sister.” Nian Junting shook his head. “You can have water, or die with thirst.”

“Also,” he continued. “Next time you pick a fight with someone, try not to get hurt. If you get hurt again, only I, your brother-in-law would keep you company in the hospital. No one else would.”

Luo Liuxi stayed silent. He took a sip of the water and closed his eyes. Fortunately, he didn’t need to stay in the hospital for the night, or he might die of anger.
