After the two finished eating, Lu Jinghan sat on the sofa to handle documents. Occasionally, he would look up at her, asking if she wanted water or if she was bored.
Han Xi casually scrolled through Weibo on her phone when a text message suddenly came in. She lifted her fingertip to open it.
It was a photo from Li Chenghao of the two together once, with the caption [Did we not say we’d be together forever? Have you forgotten?]
Han Xi frowned and directly deleted the message. She also blocked Li Chenghao’s number.
She didn’t want to get entangled with this man again.
On the day Han Xi was discharged, Chu Ci’s movie had just wrapped up and he hurried back. Li Manman clamored for Lu Jinghan to take them to dinner, saying it would make up for their wedding feast.
Lu Jinghan agreed without hesitation, saying he would send them the address that evening.
Li Manman laughed and leaned closer to Lu Jinghan, telling him to be sure to invite Feng Yi for dinner.
Sitting on the sofa, chatting with Han Xi, Chu Ci raised his eyebrow: "Who is this Feng Yi?"
Li Manman cleared her throat and shamelessly replied: "My future husband."
Han Xi leaned into Chu Ci’s ear and whispered: "He hasn’t even agreed to be her boyfriend yet; Manman is still making progress."
Chu Ci gave Li Manman a once-over with an alien-species gaze and then cheekily said: "Are you even capable? You’re struggling just to chase a man."
"I’m confused too, I’ve been so forward, yet he doesn’t seem to react at all."
Li Manman shrugged helplessly and sat beside Han Xi with a bitter face.
Chu Ci playfully half-joked: "Could it be that he doesn’t like women?"
Han Xi couldn’t help but laugh, feeling anxious for Feng Yi: "Probably not, he seems pretty normal."
Li Manman frustratingly pulled out her phone, found a photo she took with Feng Yi, and handed it to Chu Ci: "Looking , he shouldn’t like men, right?"
Chu Ci glanced at the phone: "Things have nothing to do with looks."
While tidying his clothes, Lu Jinghan shook his head, unable to help defending Feng Yi: "He’s perfectly normal."
Hearing Lu Jinghan say that, Li Manman’s heavy heart revived. Thankfully, he’s normal; otherwise, she’d be heartbroken.
Chu Ci sympathetically patted Li Manman’s shoulder: "Sister, hang in there."
Beside them, Han Xi couldn’t help but laugh: "Manman has tried really hard, but he remains unmoved."
"Sooner or later, I’ll claim him; just watch." Li Manman said, particularly confidently.
After leaving the hospital, Chu Ci and Li Manman left together. Lu Jinghan and Han Xi drove home first.
As soon as they entered, Sister Zhang greeted them, taking the items from Lu Jinghan’s hands before smiling: "Sir and Madam are finally home. What would you like to eat tonight? I’ll cook for you."
Lu Jinghan bent over at the shoe cabinet to get slippers for Han Xi, saying to Sister Zhang: "No cooking tonight, we’ll be eating out."
"Alright, I understand, Sir."
As she finished speaking, Sister Zhang put the bag she was holding on the living room sofa and went off to attend to other things.
After changing shoes, Lu Jinghan took Han Xi’s hand and led her upstairs.
