Chapter 28: How did you forget to act in front of her?

That day, Ye Xi successfully met Xiao Yang.

She also successfully spoke to Xiao Yang for a couple of sentences.

Although Xiao Yang was as cold and aloof as ever, Ye Xi was still happy.

After getting Wen Xiaoching’s words, seeing that Wen Xiaoching and Xiao Yang’s attitude was the same as before, Ye Xi felt reassured.

She was grateful that Su Qingtan was a failure as a person, her temper was so bad that even the good-tempered Wen Xiaoching didn’t believe her.

Ye Xi left the hospital with a relaxed expression, Xiao Yang looked at her back and couldn’t help but frown.

He pushed open the door and entered the ward. Wen Xiaoching, who was already “asleep” in Ye Xi’s words, was sitting on the bed reading comics.

Xiao Yang laughed helplessly, “Isn’t it tiring to pretend to be asleep every day?”

“No, it’s so interesting.” Wen Xiaoching put down the comic book and smiled at Xiao Yang, “If I don’t pretend to be asleep, how can she talk to you?”

Xiao Yang shook his head with a smile, Wen Xiaoching had already opened her arms to him.

Xiao Yang walked over and hugged her, he sighed, “You, you’re just naughty.”

“Hehehe, I call it having sharp eyes.” Wen Xiaoching laughed and shook Xiao Yang, Xiao Yang hugged her tightly to prevent her from moving, then said, “Stop having sharp eyes, your cousin has bad intentions, I don’t feel comfortable with her around you.”

Wen Xiaoching immediately let go of Xiao Yang, she looked into Xiao Yang’s eyes and smiled helplessly, “What, are you afraid she’ll harm me?”

“Don’t test people’s hearts.” Xiao Yang said seriously, “I don’t want any instability around you.”

“But I’ll be so bored.” Wen Xiaoching shook his arm and started to act cute, “Watching her act like she’s in a play every day is more interesting than watching TV and movies.

“And don’t worry, with her IQ, she really wouldn’t even be able to find a window to harm me.”

Xiao Yang always had no way with her, but he still tried to keep a straight face and scolded her, “Is she the only one acting? You’re acting more sincerely than her, you don’t even hesitate to drag me onto the stage.”

“Who told you to attract people?” Wen Xiaoching cupped his face with both hands and pressed hard, she laughed loudly, “It’s clearly you who attracted her.”

Xiao Yang couldn’t keep a cold face at all, he pulled his hand away, pressed her and kissed her, he immediately became curious, “A hint of tea, did you drink tea?”

“Hmm, 25-year-old Longjing green tea.” Wen Xiaoching smiled and nodded.

Xiao Yang saw her smile, he twisted her face and said, “Drink less, you won’t be able to sleep at night.”

“Okay, hahahahaha.” Seeing that Xiao Yang didn’t understand, Wen Xiaoching burst into laughter.

Xiao Yang saw that she was in a good mood, so he said, “Shall I take you out for a walk?”

Wen Xiaoching nodded, she followed Xiao Yang out, when they walked to the stairwell, they happened to see Su Qingtan walking from the opposite corridor towards the ward.

Su Qingtan also saw them.

The smile on Wen Xiaoching’s face hadn’t faded, she immediately waved to her, “Miss Su.”

Xiao Yang also nodded at her with a smile.

Su Qingtan nodded at them with a calm expression, then turned and left.

Xiao Yang saw this and said in surprise, “Why does she look so cold, she didn’t seem so cold when we met downstairs the other day.”

“Oh, it must be because of me.”

Wen Xiaoching told Xiao Yang about how she exposed her true nature to Su Qingtan, Xiao Yang listened, he was speechless at first, then he became curious, “How did you forget to act in front of her?”

“I didn’t forget, I didn’t even think about acting.” Wen Xiaoching said, “She’s a kind little sister who feels sorry for the poor, I couldn’t bear to deceive her.”

Xiao Yang looked at Wen Xiaoching speechlessly, she immediately said, “Besides, she’s smart and sharp, I feel like I can’t deceive her.”

“That sounds like the truth.” Xiao Yang complained.

Wen Xiaoching chuckled, then she sighed, “It’s such a pity, I originally wanted to be friends with her.”

Before Xiao Yang could speak, she turned her head and asked, “If I can’t be friends with her, will it affect your relationship with Mr. Duan?”

Xiao Yang wanted to say no, but he wanted to tease Wen Xiaoching, so he said, “It will, you’ll pay.”

Wen Xiaoching saw his teasing, she smiled and patted his arm again and again.

Xiao Yang habitually twisted her face, the dry feeling under his hand made him uncomfortable, but he never showed his discomfort in front of Wen Xiaoching.

…

After that, whenever Su Qingtan met Ye Xi, Xiao Yang, and Wen Xiaoching in the hospital, she would avoid them.

The direct result of this was that Ye Xi no longer worried about her existence, and Xiao Yang and Wen Xiaoching wouldn’t take the initiative to bother her.

She stayed quietly for a week, her body stabilized, the fetus developed well, and she didn’t vomit at all.

When they confirmed that she could be discharged, the attending physician called Duan Jinhuai first.

Duan Jinhuai answered the phone and said, “Don’t tell her about the discharge yet, I’ll tell her when I get there.”

After hanging up the phone, Duan Jinhuai calmly continued the meeting back in the conference room.

Two hours later, the employees who had finally endured the meeting and were quickly tidying up their documents to leave, heard Duan Jinhuai say, “Take a break for an hour, we’ll have a meeting to structure Plan B.”

All the employees were stunned.

Duan Jinhuai didn’t look at them, he said to Li You and Special Assistant No. 2, Su Yuan, “Come here.”

Li You and Su Yuan followed him, Duan Jinhuai first said to Su Yuan, “I won’t go to the site tomorrow, you and Yu Yang take people to take a look, then make a summary for me.”

These projects in the south were very important to Duan’s company, Duan Jinhuai had been personally involved in every step since the start.

This was the first time he hadn’t gone to the site.

Although Su Yuan was very curious about Duan Jinhuai’s decision, he, like Li You, was well-trained, he just nodded and said, “Yes.”

His face didn’t show any expression.

After agreeing, Duan Jinhuai let him leave first, then he said to Li You, “I’m going to Jincheng tomorrow morning, book me a flight ticket. Push the following arrangements back a few days, we’ll talk about it when I get back.”

Jincheng again.

Could it be that girl Su Qingtan?

Li You thought to himself for a while, then agreed and went to take care of it.

On Su Qingtan’s side, she didn’t wait patiently for the doctor to let her be discharged, she urged the doctor to issue a discharge order after she realized that her body had recovered and the hospital didn’t ask her to get an IV drip anymore.

She was心疼钱, she urged quite urgently.

The doctor wanted to contact Duan Jinhuai again, but he couldn’t get through.

There was no other way, he could only let Su Qingtan be discharged first.

Before Su Qingtan was discharged, she took her ID card to the hospital’s billing department and printed out her hospitalization bill.

After printing it out, she looked at the amount on it, she returned home with a lot on her mind.

But when she got home, her worries were replaced by anticipation.

Completely, her own life, her own home.

Su Qingtan slept soundly in the old and dilapidated house, but she was woken up by a knock on the door.

Who would know this place?

Is it Duan Jinhuai?

Thinking about this possibility, Su Qingtan opened the door without any precautions, but at the door was Su Chun, full of anger—
