"Third Young Master, the night is long; you should take it easy, she’s still a patient after all."
When the man let out that growl at the end, Ye Ning, who was sitting on the edge of the bed, only heard the sound of the hospital door being slammed shut, and then the two of them left the room.
She was left alone, sitting there dazedly. After a while, she grabbed the blanket from the bed, wrapped it around her face, and started screaming wildly in the room.
What should I do, what should I do? I’ve made a complete fool of myself this time!
She collapsed face down, covering herself with the blanket, never wanting to get up again...
Fifteen minutes later, in the director’s office on the fourth floor—
Ji Chengzhi, seeing the man sitting on the sofa still looking as if someone owed him billions, couldn’t help but go to the coffee machine nearby and personally brew him a cup of plain coffee.
"Alright, stop being angry, I didn’t do it on purpose. But on the other hand, that woman is actually quite good, strong and independent, patient and enduring. Although she has a child with her, she doesn’t have any hidden agendas towards you. I think in that respect, she’s much better than those scandalous girlfriends of yours who were only after your money, your looks, many times over."
Ji Chengzhi was telling the truth. He’d heard that the woman’s husband had "died" before the child was born, and the child was already four years old now. It was not hard to imagine how much hardship and suffering she must have endured in those four years.
So, if his guess was correct, then Ji Chengzhi would definitely support his brother getting together with that woman with both hands up.
But the man who had been sitting there, smoking, upon hearing these words, his already unhappy face grew even darker: "Are you sick? How can you say such preposterous things?"
Ji Chengzhi was choked up!
Indeed, somewhat. He was the Crown Prince of the Oushi Empire, after all, and the woman?
She was a "widow" with a child in tow. Geez, if it turns out in the end they don’t have anything to do with each other, this would indeed seem like a flight of fancy.
So he didn’t continue on this topic anymore, but instead sat down with the cup of coffee: "I heard Sister Chenxi is coming back, and she’s going to throw a party when she does. Are you going to go?"
His coffee-holding fingers paused there for a moment, his gaze lingering on a certain spot on the phone screen.
She left here determinedly five years ago, leaving his side to pursue her dreams, huh? Five years gone by and she’s finally willing to return?
He stared at that spot for a long time, finally curling a mocking, cold smile on his lips: "What, has she achieved her dreams? Coming back in triumph?"
Ji Chengzhi’s smile was embarrassed: "That seems to be the case. She’s now a world-famous piano performer. I heard she’s coming back specifically because of her international concert tour."
Upon hearing this, the man with the coffee’s gaze turned even colder: "Then do me a favor and send her my heartfelt congratulations. May her every performance be victorious and sold out!"
Having said that, he downed his coffee in one gulp and stood up to leave.
Ji Chengzhi sat across from him, stunned for a while, unable to recover.
Does it need to be this cold?
After all, that woman was the only one who shared happy times with him during his university days...
