Wan Dongcheng dropped Zhao Xinlan back at school and didn’t rush to the hospital. Instead, he went home, changed his clothes, and then leisurely made his way to the hospital.
Having stayed in the ward for a day, Li Shiping, not wanting her child to feel stuffy, took her for a walk in the corridor. Just then, Wan Dongcheng was walking down the corridor. She bent down to pick up the child and called out, "Dongcheng."
At the sound, Wan Dongcheng walked over. Seeing that the child looked quite lively, his face instantly turned dark, "I said she was fine and there was nothing wrong, but you had to make a mountain out of a molehill and take her to the hospital. Li Shiping, you just didn’t want to attend my cousin’s wedding and were looking for an excuse, weren’t you?"
Li Shiping felt her heart grow cold as she was greeted not with concern from her husband, but with blatant reproach. "The child had caught pneumonia. If it weren’t for He Nan and Mianmian taking her to the hospital, who knows how bad her fever would have gotten by now."
Upon hearing that He Nan was the one who brought her to the hospital, Wan Dongcheng exploded with jealousy, feeling as though a green hat had been placed atop his head, his complexion growing even greener, "He Nan, He Nan, if He Nan is so great, why didn’t you marry him in the first place? Why did you marry poor me?" He Nan was like a thorn in Wan Dongcheng’s heart, highlighting all his inadequacies in stark relief.
The emphasis that the Li Family placed on He Nan only made Wan Dongcheng loathe hearing his name even more.
"Dongcheng, what do you mean by that?" Li Shiping looked at him, her face filled with sorrow.
Alcohol from lunch had not yet fully dissipated, and seized by the remnants of his buzz, Wan Dongcheng scoffed mockingly, "Li Shiping, if you had met He Nan earlier, you wouldn’t have married me at all, would you? Do you regret marrying me? Have you compared me with He Nan countless times in your heart? Were you happy when I was away yesterday? It was a good opportunity to find He Nan and be alone with him. You must have been overjoyed last night, weren’t you?"
Just thinking about these things was enough to make Wan Dongcheng feel like he would go insane. Updates are released by 𝕟𝕠𝕧𝕖𝕝·𝕗𝕚𝕣𝕖·𝕟𝕖𝕥
"..." Li Shiping’s gaze gradually changed, and the man in front of her felt like a stranger. "Dongcheng, why have you become ? When did your thoughts become so filthy?"
She had hardly exchanged more than a few words with He Nan, and that too could be a reason for him to pick a fight? Li Shiping found it unacceptable.
Her child had had such a high fever yesterday, and he just left without a word. Now he returned with not a word of care and was instead suspicious of her relationship with He Nan. Was this the Wan Dongcheng she knew?
"That’s right, that’s right, I have filthy thoughts, and you all are saints. You are all noble. Your father is a professor, your brother a big businessman, your mother a wealthy family’s young lady. Your family is excellent. You and He Nan together would be a match made in heaven..."
Listening to his increasingly excessive words, Li Shiping felt a chill in her heart and suddenly felt some disgust towards the man in front of her. Holding her child, she turned and walked back into the ward. Seeing this, Wan Dongcheng’s anger intensified, "Li Shiping, you’re getting bolder and bolder, aren’t you? You don’t even want to listen when I speak, do you?"
"Wan Dongcheng, please watch your behavior in front of the child," she said.
"You two spending a night together, alone, how am I supposed to watch my words and behavior?"
As Wan Dongcheng grew more agitated, he grabbed Li Shiping, forcing her to face him. She nearly fell, and the child, frightened, started wailing.
