Half an hour later.
The ward door was pushed open abruptly from the outside.
When Chi Jiao and Quan Jue heard the commotion, they looked at the door in unison.
Ye Yichen walked into the ward expressionlessly.
He glanced at Lu Xian, who was still sleeping on the bed, then his gaze landed on them.
Ye Yichen walked up to Quan Jue and Chi Jiao with an unfathomable look in his eyes. He smiled appropriately and warmly as he said, “I heard from the doctor that you’re the ones who brought my wife to the hospital. Thank you.”
His tone was natural, and his expression was invulnerable, making it impossible to tell what was wrong.
When Quan Jue saw that Ye Yichen was still pretending as if nothing had happened even at this point and was putting up an act in front of him, his lips curled into a mocking smile. “Your wife?”
The simple question was like a knife stabbing Ye Yichen’s heart.
He especially hated it when people questioned his relationship with Lu Xian.
In his eyes, Lu Xian was his wife. This was a fact that no one could change.
But this bastard dared to doubt him?
Before Ye Yichen could speak, Chi Jiao stood up from the bed and sized him up with a doubtful gaze. She asked crisply, “Mr. Ye, where’s your shame?”
Ye Yichen turned to look at her stiffly. “Miss, what do you mean by that?”
Chi Jiao blinked innocently at him. “You and Lu Xian didn’t hold a wedding at all, nor did you register your marriage. When did she become your wife? You’re ruining her reputation by saying that, do you know that?”
Ye Yichen’s expression darkened as the smile on his lips disappeared completely.
“You guys investigated me?” he asked with clenched fists, staring fixedly at her.
He originally thought that it was a coincidence that he met Quan Jue at the convenience store that day.
It seemed like Quan Jue had already investigated them and found out about some things. Therefore, he especially rushed over.
Who was this young lady?
What right did she have to criticize him here?
Quan Jue appeared briskly in front of Chi Jiao and looked at him indifferently. “Don’t flatter yourself. We investigated Lin Yue.”
Chi Jiao’s heart pounded when she heard that.
Looking at his back as he stood in front of her, she couldn’t help but smile.
Ye Yichen took a deep breath and slowly exhaled. He looked at Quan Jue and said, “I don’t know who Lin Yue is. There’s only my wife, Lu Xian, here. Lin Yue is already dead.”
As long as he didn’t admit that Lu Xian was Lin Yue, then she would be Lu Xian. She would never regain her identity as Lin Yue.
“Even if you changed her identity and made her forget about the past, she still doesn’t love you.” Quan Jue’s lips curled lazily as he looked at Ye Yichen indifferently as if he was looking at a pitiful worm.
Be it his gaze or his words, they hurt Ye Yichen deeply.
“Nonsense!” Ye Yichen’s tone suddenly raised a few octaves as he clenched his fists so tightly that the veins on his forehead were popping. “I’m Lu Xian’s husband, and the person she loves the most is me. The two of you, get lost right now. I won’t allow you to continue disturbing my wife’s rest!”
Quan Jue stood rooted to the ground as he looked at Ye Yichen with increasingly mocking eyes.
