Inadvertently
Immediately after, Ruan Yuexi was pushed into the ambulance, with both Lu Yiliang and the female lead Tang Qingqing staring at her in bewilderment.
Ruan Yuexi remained silent, letting the awkward atmosphere linger, showing no intention to ease it.
Tang Qingqing hesitated for a moment, then seemed to gather courage to speak.
“Miss Ruan, it was my fault today. I accidentally pulled you down. Please forgive me,” she said, her tone pleading.
Lu Yiliang kept his eyes closed, unusually not comforting Tang Qingqing. She sensed his evident change in attitude towards her, which made her uneasy.
Instead of getting angry or giving her the cold shoulder, Ruan Yuexi sighed despondently without saying anything, pretending to be heartbroken.
Tang Qingqing bit her lip. “Miss Ruan, if you have any grievances, you can scold me. I… can take it,” she said, while her peripheral vision kept an eye on Lu Yiliang, who remained quietly resting his eyes.
Ruan Yuexi sighed again. “Why would I dare scold you? Forget scolding, I don’t even have the right to say anything harsh to you now. Because Brother Yao likes you, I dare not and fear that he will be angry with me again. As long as he can let me see him more often, I would be willing to fall a thousand times without complaints.”
She switched effortlessly between being a green tea and playing the white lotus, seeing who could outdo whom.
Tang Qingqing choked up at her words. “Is… Miss Ruan misunderstanding something?”
Ruan Yuexi shook her head slowly, sadly sighing again. “Actually, I’ve long known about Brother Yao’s feelings. Ever since you appeared, the way he looks at me…” She couldn’t finish before covering her face and weeping.
When Tang Qingqing wanted to say something, Ruan Yuexi gave a wistful smile. “You don’t need to comfort me.”
Tang Qingqing swallowed her rebuttal. She didn’t intend to comfort her…
Ruan Yuexi immersed herself deeply in the role, her strong little face filled with expectation. “Even if in the future he is with you, I will turn a blind eye as long as he doesn’t let me leave him. I can even help take care of the children you two have. I will sincerely treat your children…” She began to sob.
Tang Qingqing: “…” She had never been so speechless in her life.
The white and slender hand handed the tissue to Ruan Yuexi, and a hint of pity appeared on Lu Yiliang’s gentle and handsome face.
“Don’t cry,” he said gently, causing Tang Qingqing to grip her hands tightly.
Ruan Yuexi almost laughed but restrained herself, afraid of being exposed, quickly covering her face with her other hand, and delicately touched the air a few times before taking the tissue from Lu Yiliang’s hand.
Before taking the tissue, she inadvertently touched his hand, but Ruan Yuexi didn’t notice, while Lu Yiliang froze and unconsciously rubbed his fingertips several times.
The doctor and the driver beside them listened with reddened eyes, feeling indignant.
“Girl, why are you so devoted? There are plenty of men in this world. Why hang yourself up on one man for love?” The doctor shook his head, torn between anger and pity, thinking she was a good girl.
“Yeah, Dr. Liu is right. That man you mentioned is not a good person; he has a bad heart and only bullies girls. Quickly separate from that man. There are plenty of men with two legs around.” The driver, perhaps having a daughter himself, couldn’t bear seeing a girl treat herself like this.
The doctor agreed with the driver’s words. “Better to remain single than to settle for less. Don’t sacrifice your life for an unworthy man. What’s the point of holding onto a scumbag?”
“Yes, when you see him, just spit in his face. It’ll feel good,” the driver said indignantly, deeply concerned for Ruan Yuexi. When his daughter finds a boyfriend in the future, he’ll definitely scrutinize him closely.
Ruan Yuexi almost burst into laughter. “Thank you, doctor and mister driver. You are really kind-hearted people. However, love sometimes is beyond one’s control…” Tears were about to spill from her eyes from holding in the laughter.
Ruan Yuexi quietly checked her abuse value: 15!
She was pleasantly surprised, almost sitting up. She had worried that there would be no change, but it seemed that leaving the male lead for half a day was still effective in raising her abuse value.
She had worried unnecessarily about whether she could play pitiful in front of Shang Yao’s secretary and not gain any abuse value.
Once at the hospital, someone arranged for her a ward for her. The secretary was a cold and emotionless woman. Come to think of it, how could someone who could be around someone like Shang Yao not be cold and heartless?
“Madam, if there’s anything uncomfortable, just say so. Mr. Shang is having steak tonight. Would you like to have one too?” The secretary, Fang Muyu, spoke politely but coldly, like a robot without any emotion.
Ruan Yuexi’s face turned pale. “Bring me a notebook. I’ll just point out what I want to eat.”
Fang Muyu handed the notebook to Ruan Yuexi expressionlessly. Ruan Yuexi quickly wrote down her choices and handed it back to her.
“Just these will do. I’m not in the mood to eat much.” Ruan Yuexi sadly gazed out the window.
Fang Muyu glanced at the notebook. “…”
After Ruan Yuexi finished her examination, she wolfed down her meal and then began acting profound again.
“Secretary Fang, am I very annoying?”
Fang Muyu watched as Ruan Yuexi finished all the food on the table in one go, not knowing if she was annoying or not, but she could definitely eat a lot.
“No.”
Ruan Yuexi sobbed twice sadly. “You don’t need to comfort me. Brother Yao hates me so much. I… hiccup!” A loud hiccup interrupted Ruan Yuexi’s lament.
She stopped, stopped awkwardly, and glanced at Fang Muyu several times, both of them looking at each other.
“Madam, you have just finished your meal, so please don’t talk too much.” The cold words came from Fang Muyu again.
Ruan Yuexi: “…”
Okay, it seems that she couldn’t play pitiful with Fang Muyu. It was not fun at all and not as fun as Lu Yiliang and Ning Chen.
Lu Yiliang? Ruan Yuexi’s eyes lit up. If not now, when would she go and play the victim?
Ignoring Fang Muyu’s obstruction, Ruan Yuexi went alone to Lu Yiliang’s ward. Tang Qingqing was not there, so only Lu Yiliang was having dinner.
She walked into the ward in a straightforward manner. “How are you? Are you okay?” Without any courtesy, she sat casually on the sofa.
Lu Yiliang was somewhat surprised to see her. “My leg and hand need to be plastered. I need to be observed for a while. Are you okay?”
Ruan Yuexi stared at the dinner he was having. It was too abundant! Why did he have so much good food?
“I’m fine. Just had my hand plastered a bit. Are you… full?” Ruan Yuexi waved her hand nonchalantly.
Lu Yiliang hadn’t touched his chopsticks yet. Seeing her constantly looking at the food on his table, he smiled gently.
“You haven’t eaten yet, have you? Want to eat together?”
Ruan Yuexi forcibly pulled her gaze back. “I’ve eaten. You eat.”
“No worries, I can’t finish all this by myself,” Lu Yiliang’s thin lips curled slightly.
Ruan Yuexi felt a little embarrassed. “Then I’ll just have a little bit.” It really looked so delicious. Who could resist such a delightful meal?
Lu Yiliang nodded with a smile in response. Ruan Yuexi sat on the edge of his bed, picked up another clean spoon, and chatted with Lu Yiliang in a casual manner.
She was so focused on the food that she didn’t realize Lu Yiliang’s gaze hardly left her face.
Her fair and tender skin now had a faint blush. Her enchanting autumn-like eyes were fixed on the dinner, and her rosy lips gently held the spoon, occasionally revealing the tip of her delicate tongue.
Lu Yiliang tightened his grip on the spoon, his usually gentle eyes now deeper and more mysterious.
Meanwhile, Ruan Yuexi was unaware that she hadn’t eaten enough in the hospital room just now. Unable to say anything for sympathy, she ended up neither selling her misery nor filling her stomach.
When she had eaten enough, Ruan Yuexi finally put down the spoon. “Your dinner is so delicious.”
Lu Yiliang lowered his eyes. “It was made by the chef I hired.” His voice was low and hoarse.
Ruan Yuexi nodded while holding her stomach. “No wonder it’s so good.” Oh no, she got so caught up in eating that she forgot to play the pitiful act.
After a moment of silence, Ruan Yuexi didn’t know how to start, but Lu Yiliang spoke up, “I’ll speak up for you with Shang Yao. Don’t worry.”
Ruan Yuexi lowered her head with a sigh. “Even if you speak up, Brother Yao won’t believe me. In his heart, I’m just someone who’s so annoying.”
