Bai Bing sat beside Tang Yanqi’s hospital bed. Compared to Qi Chengbai Xue, Bai Bing’s face still had some scars. She looked at Tang Yanqi, remained silent for a long time, and finally spoke: "Tangtang, I’m sorry."
"I’m the one who should be saying that."
No one expected what happened yesterday to escalate like that. Tang Yanqi always felt that ultimately, it was her fault.
Bai Bing forced a smile: "It’s not your fault; you didn’t do anything wrong. Lu... he likes you. It’s not your fault; it was my impulsiveness."
After another two seconds of silence, Bai Bing spoke again: "Tangtang, if you also like him, really don’t mind me. Feelings can’t be forced, I understand."
Tang Yanqi felt dizzy, but hearing Bai Bing’s words, she felt very touched inside. It’s true, but truly letting go, truly understanding, is something very few can do.
Tang Yanqi lifted her hand slightly, and Bai Bing immediately reached over to hold her hand. Both of their hands were surprisingly cold. Tang Yanqi curled her lips slightly and looked at Bai Bing seriously, speaking: "I’ve already explained things to our senior. I don’t like him."
Bai Bing was somewhat surprised and then heard Tang Yanqi continue: "It’s not that I don’t like him; it’s just that he’s a friend, not a lover. ’Like’ isn’t like that."
As the former school heartthrob and genius, Lu Qilin’s personal charm was indisputable. Bai Bing had thought that even if Tang Yanqi wasn’t very fond of Lu Qilin, she wouldn’t have rejected him so quickly, given that Lu Qilin was exceptional both inside and out and treated Tang Yanqi very well.
Bai Bing couldn’t think of why Tang Yanqi rejected him so decisively, except maybe because of herself or perhaps...
"Tangtang, do you have someone in your heart?"
Outside the ward, Sheng Jianan carried a thermos as he walked to the door. Through the small glass on the door, he saw the two people sitting face to face inside. He knew about yesterday’s events; frankly, they were all stirred up by Bai Bing. Frowning slightly, he reached out to push the door open.
But then he heard a voice inside say: "Yes, there is someone."
The ward door wasn’t tightly closed. Though Tang Yanqi’s voice wasn’t loud, it was enough for Sheng Jianan to hear. This text is hosted at novel-fire.ɴet
"Tangtang, could it be Sheng Jianan?"
Bai Bing asked directly. Tang Yanqi wasn’t aware of the follow-up handling last night, but Bai Bing and the others knew that those who caused trouble at the police station were punished according to regulations, fines were imposed, positions revoked. Even Mrs. Wang, who was previously arrogant, was left in shambles.
And the person handling all these matters was Sheng Jianan’s assistant, and it was Sheng Jianan who carried Tang Yanqi away, so Bai Bing’s guess was not surprising at all.
Tang Yanqi didn’t expect her to be so blunt. It took several seconds before she spoke: "No."
Outside the door, Sheng Jianan’s hand gripping the thermos suddenly tightened. His thin lips pressed into a line, deep eyes swirling with fury. Turning his head, he glared at the ward door twice before leaving with a scowl.
Leaving the hospital, getting into the car, Sheng Jianan placed the thermos on the passenger seat casually, his mind replaying Tang Yanqi’s earlier "No."
The marriage certificate clearly stated it was him, Sheng Jianan. Whether she said ’no’ or not, it was him!
For quite a while, Sheng Jianan’s face remained stern as he took out his phone, dialing Qiao Zi’s number: "Come to the hospital now."
Inside, Tang Yanqi shouldn’t get too tired; her head was still very dizzy. Bai Bing didn’t stay long and turned around before leaving: "Tangtang, are we... still friends?"
