Xi Cheng returned to his mother’s and Lin Yu’s ward in a dark mood. Lin Yu quickly sat up in her hospital bed and asked, “How did it go? How are Xiang Yang and Shi Nian’s injuries?” Han Yuan, who was on the bed beside her, also quietly opened her eyes.
Xi Cheng hurriedly strode over to Lin Yu’s bed and helped her lie down, grumbling, “You should care about yourself more; don’t always put others first
—they don’t appreciate it.”
Lin Yu didn’t resist and laid down before saying gently, “We’re good to others because we’re just doing what we should be doing, not because we want their appreciation or gratitude. Did they say something to make you unhappy?
Xi Cheng didn’t say anything. He sat on the chair beside the bed and rubbed circles into Lin Yu’s hand before uttering softly, “Lin Yu, you’ve done well. As the Xi family’s young madam, no one could’ve done better than you. You’ve suffered a lot for the Xi family, and even I’ve let you down. Lin Yu, I, sometimes
Lin Yu cut Xi Cheng off. “Enough, Xi Cheng. Say no more. We’re husband and wife. We’re of one flesh.” She smiled warmly and continued, “The four great families have been friends for generations. Putting aside your families’ intertwined business relationships, you four guys’ close bonds can’t be fractured just because of us, right?”
Xi Cheng disgruntledly replied, “Those three have now gotten together and are all against me.”
Lin Yu was inwardly anxious but outwardly still patiently smiled as she stated,
“Alright, you big kid. So tell me, how’s Shi Nian’s injury?”
Xi Cheng waved his hand. “He’s fine. I felt like he’d stood up when I left, but only briefly—he sat back in his wheelchair after a short while. Who knows what he’s up to this time? That guy, hmph! Perhaps he’s pretending to be seriously injured to use Yun Nan to straighten up his corporation’s shareholders! That’s something he would do!”
Lin Yu was secretly spooked but calmly questioned, “Then what about Xiang Yang? Is Xiang Yang better?”
Xi Cheng sighed, “I don’t think so. I heard from two nurses passing by that Xiang Yang’s condition seems to be quite serious. She’s gone crazy or dumb—something like that; I didn’t hear clearly. There’s no point in asking the nurses. They won’t say anything in respect of the patient’s privacy.”
