After the divorce, my ex-husband and son lined up to pursue me.

Chapter 58 Life is coming soon
How did I perform?

As soon as they entered the corridor, Xin Rou looked at Ruan Mu Huai with delighted eyes: "Are you alright? Is Mu Huai alright?"

Ruan Muhuai was absent-minded, so he just nodded casually.

His mind was still filled with the sarcastic remarks that Professor Zhong and the others had made to Jiang Xia in the lecture hall.

Despite being married for seven years, as the old man said, he doesn't understand Jiang Xia at all.

It is unclear what kind of job she had before marriage, what kind of upbringing she had, or what close friends she had.

I don't know what her preferences, pursuits, or hobbies will be like after marriage.

I never even thought about it...

"Mu Huai, look at me." Xin Rou's voice interrupted his thoughts.

Before Ruan Muhuai could fully regain his attention, Xin Rou stopped in her tracks, grabbed his tie, and kissed him directly...

Without warning, completely unexpected!
Ruan Muhuai was startled and tried to push her away again, but Xin Rou had already put down her tiptoes and dodged.

"I'm so sorry!" Xin Rou said, her face still flushed with panic and embarrassment. "I... I acted impulsively and really didn't know what I was doing..."

"..."

In that instant, Ruan Muhuai was caught off guard.

He was the one who was sexually assaulted, or rather, he shouldn't be considered a man.

But this has nothing to do with men and women!

"I really didn't mean it! I just couldn't control myself for a moment..." Xin Rou continued to explain, and it even seemed quite reasonable: "Don't overthink it, and please don't tell Sister Jiang Xia about this."

Just around the corner, the video feed had been completed, and the camera showed it to Lou Yushi, who had seen it: "!!!"

Lou Yushi didn't know who Ruan Muhuai was at first, but she felt that it was inappropriate for Jiang Xia to see this sudden passionate kiss, as it would offend his eyes. She subconsciously covered the camera, but upon hearing this, she was stunned.

"Jiang Xia, do you know that man?"

Lou Yushi couldn't resist her curiosity and gossip, so she peeked at Ruan Muhuai again, then looked at her phone: "Could he be your husband?"

Jiang Xia, still in the county hospital: "???"

She saw the kiss on her phone, but the camera was shaky and she couldn't see it very clearly.

Furthermore, her memory was still somewhat muddled, and her brain, still reeling from the kiss, was throbbing with pain. She rubbed her head vigorously, saying, "I...I don't know..."

Lou Yushi saw the bandage wrapped around her head and knew that she had made a pointless video call, so she said, "It's alright then."

After hanging up the video call, she slapped her own mouth, thinking, "Stubborn mouth, asking about everything!"
And this deadly move, what's with the video!
But before she could even begin to feel guilty, she was caught red-handed.

"you are?"

Ruan Muhuai had already circled back to the corner, looking at Lou Yushi with some confusion, but his uneasy gaze fell on the phone in her hand.

Lou Yushi promptly hid her phone. "What's wrong? The corridor is so big, am I slowing you down?"

“No, not at all.” Ruan Muhuai’s eyes narrowed slightly. “You were just on a video call, weren’t you? I don’t mean anything by it, but Jiang Xia hasn’t been feeling well lately, so don’t let this affect her.”

After offering his well-intentioned reminder, he was about to leave with Xin Rou when he heard Lou Yushi let out a cold laugh.

"You are Jiang Xia's husband."

Lou Yushi was now completely certain. "What? You're scared now that I've discovered your affair? Let me guess, you're not worried that I'll affect Jiang Xia's recovery, you're worried that if I spread this around, it will make Xin Rou look bad!" Ruan Muhuai had already stopped in his tracks.

Xin Rou's expression also turned quite ugly.

"You're having a great time having an affair! You look so respectable, but I never expected you to be so cunning!"

Lou Yushi reacted like she'd been fired up, her fighting spirit instantly exploding. "Pah! You big scumbag, you're disgusting!"

In an instant, she glared at Xin Rou: "I've disliked you for a long time! I never thought you'd become a mistress! What kind of family raised such trash like you! Didn't your parents tell you? Being a mistress means your whole family will die!"

"You two are a pair of scoundrels! Just you wait! They'll get struck by lightning sooner or later!"

Lou Yushi cursed as she rubbed her non-existent goosebumps, making a disgusted face as if she wanted to vomit, and walked away with a sneer.

Xin Rou was completely bewildered by the unexpected barrage of insults.

Looking at Ruan Muhuai's gloomy face, she gave a helpless, dry laugh: "Um, she's Lou Yushi from the project team. She's the youngest and the junior sister of everyone in the team. She just misunderstood. I'll talk to her and explain it to her later."

Ruan Muhuai thought of the sudden kiss just now, and wondered, what kind of misunderstanding was this?

What's more...

He didn't think any further, took a deep breath, and said, "I have something to do, I'll be going now."

"Mu Huai..." Xin Rou hesitated to finish her sentence, and could only nod helplessly: "Okay, then we'll contact each other again later."

Ruan Muhuai gave a slight "hmm" and then walked past her, striding across the corridor.

Xin Rou followed his retreating figure, hesitantly took out her phone, and saw several messages. Her face instantly darkened!
[We've found out that Tao He has contacted several hospitals specifically to inquire about Jiang Xia's illness; this can't be faked!]

Sato's lies are about to be exposed!

Xin Rou pursed her lips. She never imagined Ruan Muhuai would be so hard to fool!
She actually had Tao He contact multiple hospitals for Jiang Xia's sake. If she were to try to tamper with things again, the number of people involved would increase, and the risk of being exposed would be much greater.

If we can't hide it anymore, then so be it.

She quickly replied to the message, but then a thought flashed in her eyes: she still had to target Jiang Xia!
On the other side, Ruan Muhuai drove back to the county hospital after leaving the university.

On the way, he received a call from Tao He.

Instead of giving a routine work report, Tao He hesitated for a moment before saying, "Mr. Ruan, we have verified your wife's condition. It's not... very easy to cure."

"To be precise, it is fundamentally incurable."

A piercing screech of brakes erupted instantly.

Hearing the sound of brakes, Tao He quickly changed his tune, saying, "Mr. Ruan, please calm down. You still need to be careful when driving on the highway."

Ruan Muhuai gripped the steering wheel tightly, took a deep breath, turned on the hazard lights, and then changed lanes to the emergency lane for safety.

Tao He continued, "The method and targeted drug that Vice Dean Sato mentioned have an extremely high risk factor. They have only just passed clinical trials, and the data is not particularly good. That drug can no longer be used on my wife."

"The best treatment right now is chemotherapy and radiation therapy..."

Before Tao He could continue, Ruan Muhuai interrupted him directly: "How much longer can she...live?"

“This…” Tao He hesitated for a moment before stammering, “No one can make a judgment, but probably… one or two years.”
