It was as if he’d touched upon a forbidden subject at the mention of Fang Xi. Xi Cheng instantly turned ashen and lowered his head without saying a word.
Shi Nian looked at his buddy, and his tone eased as he said gently, “I’m sorry,
Xi Cheng.”
Xi Cheng crossed his arms and whispered, “No, it’s not like that. This is different… They’re all different!”
Xi Cheng stood up abruptly and headed out without looking back. “Xi Cheng!” Shi Nian called out, so angry that he stood up from his wheelchair. “Open your eyes and wake up already!”
Xi Cheng pulled the door open and walked out without a backward glance at Shi Nian. Yun Nan sighed while Shi Nian fell back into his wheelchair and heavily slammed his hand on the armrest. “That man’s impossible!”
Yun Nan counseled, “Forget it. Don’t be angry anymore. You’re lucky he didn’t turn around just now. If he saw you standing up…”
She didn’t continue. Shi Nian unhappily changed the topic. “How’s Xiang Yang? Any progress?
Yun Nan shook her head. “She’s still unresponsive to the outside world.” Xiang Yang had woken up, but no matter if it was people, objects, sound, or light, she was unresponsive to them all. She spent her days in a daze as if her soul was gone. Shi Ke stayed by her side, helpless and at a loss. It pained him extremely seeing his wife in such a state, and he vowed to find the ones who’d hurt Xiang Yang.
Shi Nian mused, “It’s about time. Put the word out that I’m going to be discharged soon. We’ve got to move things on and let those rats all jump out into the open. It’s time to round them up.”
He stood up, pulled Yun Nan into his arms, and gently kissed the top of her head. “It’s been tough on you. I’d thought I could protect and shelter you. I didn’t expect I would bring you so much trouble instead.”
Yun Nan wrapped her arms around his waist and leaned against his chest.
“We’re husband and wife, which means we are of one flesh, in weal and woe. When you return to the Shi Corporation, everything will return to normal, at least on the surface. We can put everything else aside and focus on Fang Xi and Ye Kun’s wedding; they can’t delay it anymore. They’ve already changed their wedding date again and again for our sake; we can’t delay their wedding any longer.”
Shi Nian smiled at that. “I wonder if they’ll still hold our weddings together!”
Yun Nan also smiled. “I don’t know.”
