Chapter 8: Night Before the Divorce the Villainous Family Can Hear My Thoughts!

 

 Chapter 8: My Wife, Shen Cheng

【I’m just a big, shining lightbulb here! Why does this damn man drag me along? To light up the love between you two?】

【Oh, no, no, no! There’s no love between you two! To Li Qingxue, you’re just an ambiguous spare tire!】

【And a used one at that! Once the misunderstandings between her and the male lead are cleared up, you’ll be out of the picture!】

"Xingjian?" Li Qingxue called his name softly, as he remained silent for a while. "What’s wrong? Is the company very busy?"

"If you’re too busy with work, you don’t need to come specially to see me. I’m fine. I have the doctor, the nurse, and the caregiver you hired looking after me. You don’t need to worry."

"Hmm." Huo Xingjian replied indifferently, "Your complexion looks okay. It seems they’ve taken good care of you."

"Huh?" Li Qingxue looked at him in a daze.

Clearly, his response and reaction were completely unexpected to her.

This... shouldn’t be his answer!

Shouldn’t he have told her that he was worried about her during the two and a half years she was unconscious?

Why... did he just give such a bland response?

Not only was Li Qingxue shocked, but even Shen Cheng was taken aback.

【What does this mean? Has this idiot lost his mind? Why isn’t he following the script?!】

【Wasn’t he supposed to confess to Li Qingxue with deep affection? Why this bland, indifferent response instead?】

【Huo Xingjian, this is your white moonlight, your vermilion mole! She’s not some random stranger on the street! You should be kissing her, hugging her, lifting her up high!】

Huo Xingjian felt his head buzzing.

Listening to Shen Cheng’s constant complaints, he felt like his brain was about to explode.

The noise was like a parrot that just wouldn't stop chattering. He really wanted to shut her up!

What was going on in her head? It was all nonsense!

He forced himself to suppress the anger rising within him.

After all, he brought Shen Cheng along, wanting to gather more inside information from her "mouth." He was also eager to find out who the male lead she spoke of was.

"Xingjian, these past two years have really caused you a lot of trouble," Li Qingxue said, gazing at him with a look of gratitude mixed with some self-blame.

It felt as if there were only the two of them in the hospital room. Her gaze was so tender, as if Huo Xingjian were her one true love.

【Tsk! Acting all affectionate! The man you like isn't Huo Xingjian, that dog of a man! The one you like is the male lead!】

【You just want to use him to make the male lead jealous! And also to get the classified information from him for the male lead!】

【That dog thinks he’s Li Qingxue’s beloved, and he’s completely defenseless. All the passwords—at home, at work—are based on Li Qingxue’s birthday.】

【In the end, Li Qingxue easily got the files from his computer and immediately handed them over to the male lead.】

【If it weren’t for Li Qingxue taking the most core, classified information, that dog of a man, Huo Xingjian, could have stood against the male lead. What a pity—a love-struck fool who ruined himself and the company!】

What?!

Huo Xingjian was stunned, unable to believe what he had heard.

He used Li Qingxue’s birthday as a password? Li Qingxue had stolen his confidential information?

No! When did he ever use Li Qingxue’s birthday as a password? All his current passwords were based on the day he took over the Huo family company.

What on earth was Shen Cheng talking about?

But right now, the thing he wanted to know the most was: who was the male lead?

"It’s no trouble!" Huo Xingjian replied indifferently, "I haven’t done anything, it’s all the doctors and nurses taking care of you."

At his words, Li Qingxue’s smile began to stiffen.

Finally, her gaze shifted to Shen Cheng, who had been silent ever since entering.

She naturally recognized Shen Cheng—Huo Xingjian’s wife. However, she wasn’t exactly liked by Huo Xingjian.

He married her because of her scheming and Old Master Wen’s pressure.

No one in the Huo family liked Shen Cheng, considering what she had done in the past. 

But Li Qingxue had never directly interacted with Shen Cheng.

Thus, it was easy for her to pretend she didn’t recognize Shen Cheng at all.

"Xingjian, she is...?" Li Qingxue’s gaze moved from Shen Cheng to Huo Xingjian, looking confused.

Huo Xingjian walked over to Shen Cheng's side. "My wife, Shen Cheng. You should recognize her."

Upon hearing this, Li Qingxue’s expression turned even more shocked, then quickly shifted to a bitter, self-mocking smile. "I’m sorry, I must have been unconscious for too long. My mind isn’t working properly, and I didn’t recognize Miss Shen."

"Mrs. Huo," Huo Xingjian corrected sternly.

"Yes, Mrs. Huo!" Li Qingxue smiled sweetly at Shen Cheng. "Sorry, Mrs. Huo, I didn’t recognize you at first. I hope you won’t mind my being a patient." 

"It’s fine!" Shen Cheng lazily glanced at her, unconcerned. "As you said, you’ve been unconscious for quite a while, so it’s normal for your brain to be out of order."

"However, from now on, you can remember my face clearly. Don’t get it wrong again. I’m Mrs. Huo, Huo Xingjian’s wife."

"Of course, Mrs. Huo." Li Qingxue smiled and nodded.

Under the covers, her hands were clenched into fists.

What did Huo Xingjian mean by this? Why did he bring Shen Cheng with him? Had their relationship improved during the two years she had been unconscious?

That wouldn’t do! How could he like Shen Cheng? He could only like her! He could only listen to her!

Even though she didn’t like him the most, the person he liked had to be her!

She had to figure out a way to stop or even sabotage his relationship with Shen Cheng.

"Xingjian, I...," she began.

"You just woke up. You need more rest," Huo Xingjian interrupted her, "We won’t disturb you. If you need anything, just find a doctor."

After saying that, he took Shen Cheng’s hand gently, his voice soft. "Let’s go."

【Crazy! Crazy! What’s this dog man doing? Why is he holding my hand?】

【Oh! I get it now! He’s definitely learning from Li Qingxue, using me as a shield to make Li Qingxue jealous!】

【Dog man! How petty!】

Suddenly shaking off Huo Xingjian’s hand and glaring at him fiercely, Shen Cheng marched out of the room on her own.

Looking at the hand that had been shaken off, Huo Xingjian’s face was full of unspoken words.

Equally speechless was Li Qingxue.

What had she just witnessed?

Huo Xingjian reached out to take Shen Cheng's hand, only for her to slap it away with a look of disgust?!

No, when did their relationship change? Shouldn’t it have been Huo Xingjian the one to push away Shen Cheng’s hand?

"Xingjian, happy birthday!"

Just as Huo Xingjian reached the door of the hospital room, Li Qingxue’s soft voice came from behind.

And then...

"Xingjian Gege!" The voice of Li An'an followed.
