Qin Muni nodded, slowly sat up from the bed, and took the glass of water that Xu Yisen handed over.
The water in the glass was a bit warm. She blew on it a few times before raising the glass and drinking it all in one go.
Seeing that her complexion was much better than it was in the morning, Xu Yisen breathed a slight sigh of relief.
After hesitating all day, he finally took it upon himself to explain to Qin Muni, "What the news reported is not the truth. Something happened at the time, and that’s why I helped Yu Ge to the hotel. After entering the lobby, her agent took her away, and I left immediately without even going to her room."
However, regarding his explanation, Qin Muni simply nodded nonchalantly, "Oh."
Her indifferent tone made Xu Yisen a bit discouraged. He had thought she would care somewhat about the gossip between him and Xia Yuge, but he didn’t expect her to be so calm?
Seemingly reading his thoughts, Qin Muni placed the glass on the bedside table, leaned lazily against the headboard, and leisurely gazed at him, "Yisen, we’re already divorced. You don’t need to explain these things to me."
Xu Yisen sat on the chair by the bed, staring directly at Qin Muni’s picturesque features with his deep eyes, and answered seriously, "But I don’t want you to misunderstand, and... I do care about those rumors between you and Yuan Chengmo in the news."
In the end, there was a touch of childish willfulness in his magnetic voice.
Qin Muni’s bright eyes under the light were unusually bright. She slightly raised an eyebrow, and with the subtle motion, a slight ripple seemed to spread across her eyes.
She asked calmly, "So, the thing you wanted me to explain this morning was those rumors?"
"I did go house hunting with Senior, and the photos received by the entertainment reports were indeed sent from my email."
She candidly admitted the news reports, staring straightforwardly at Xu Yisen’s slightly furrowed brows and eyes as deep as the sea.
A trace of ridicule flashed through Qin Muni’s alluring eyes, and she asked, "But, what do these have to do with Yisen?"
Xu Yisen retracted his cold demeanor, reached out his hand, gently pulled up the quilt for Qin Muni, and then softly answered, "Yes, it matters because you are my future wife."
He didn’t say ex-wife, but... future wife.
Qin Muni’s head, which had been a bit muddled by the fever, took a few seconds to react. Faced with Xu Yisen’s passionate gaze, she awkwardly looked away.
Then she heard Xu Yisen say with doting affection and a hint of helplessness, "How can you be so unlovable even when you’re sick? Maybe if you were a bit more feverish, you’d be more obedient?"
The last sentence was filled with heavy amusement, clearly intending to tease Qin Muni.
Qin Muni pouted, and hearing him say that, somehow felt that her earlier antagonism towards him was a bit petty?
"The photo of me supporting Yu Ge to the hotel is real too, but the story the media made up using that photo is fake."
His gentle, magnetic voice was like a clear stream, accompanied by the sound of trickling water, resonating beautifully in the room.
He believed that the journalists’ photos of her accompanying Yuan Chengmo to see a house were real. However, what he wanted to confirm was the reported affair between her and Yuan Chengmo.
Xu Yisen’s accommodating attitude instantly melted the awkward atmosphere that Qin Muni had just created.
She lowered her eyes, her red lips tightly pressed, her evasive attitude was obvious, clearly not wanting to continue this topic.
