Shen Sicheng pursed his lips and looked at Qin Zhaozhao with an unclear expression.

Qin Zhaozhao saw Shen Sicheng's mouth twitch slightly and thought he would speak, but he didn't say anything for a long time.

"What are you hesitating about?"

Driver Shen said meaningfully: "If I hesitate to tell you, it will cause you trouble."

Qin Zhaozhao felt helpless and amused.

"Is there anything that should bother me?"

Shen Sicheng was speechless for a moment.

When Qin Zhaozhao saw Shen Sicheng was silent, she knew that she could not wait for any follow-up, so she stopped talking and prepared to go into the ward.

"Mu Tingzhou and I do have a conflict." Shen Sicheng grabbed Qin Zhaozhao, stopped her steps, and stared at her with unwavering eyes. "The reason for the conflict is that he clearly knew that you were my wife, but he shamelessly tried to steal your wife. I didn't do it to him myself because I was worried about causing trouble for you. But I can't talk to him nicely now."

Qin Zhaozhao was shocked.

She had kept her affair with Mu Tingzhou a secret from Shen Sicheng, but she didn't expect him to see through it.

Obviously, Shen Driver's thoughts were more meticulous than she thought.

But doesn’t he think his words are too ambiguous?

After all, she and he were in a fake marriage.

She no longer wanted to hide what she was thinking and told Shen Sicheng the truth.

After hearing what Qin Zhaozhao said, Shen Sicheng's face turned a little paler and he looked at her with a dim look in his eyes.

"Even if our marriage is fake, you are my wife in name." He spoke in a low voice, paused, and asked Qin Zhaozhao in a stiff tone, "Do you think that my targeting Mu Tingzhou causes you trouble? Or do you think I am doing something unnecessary? If you hate my tit-for-tat with Mu Tingzhou, I can..."

Shen Sicheng's voice stopped abruptly, but Qin Zhaozhao understood the meaning of his unfinished words.

"Your targeting of Mu Tingzhou didn't cause me any trouble." Qin Zhaozhao looked directly at Shen Sicheng calmly and chuckled again, "On the contrary, I'm worried that the matter between Mu Tingzhou and me will cause you trouble."

After a pause, she pointed out something: "After all, Mu Tingzhou is the president of the Mu Group, and he has a lot of connections and power. If we ordinary people get into a big fight with him, we will be the ones who suffer, so don't target him like this in the future."

Without waiting for Shen Sicheng to speak, she continued, "I know you are helping me out of kindness. But this incident was caused by me, and I don't want to bring you any danger. If I offend Mu Tingzhou and cause problems with your work or your own safety, I will be held responsible."

After hearing what Qin Zhaozhao said, Shen Sicheng's tense expression relaxed a little.

"I'm glad you're not angry with me. As for your worry that Mu Tingzhou will hurt me, don't worry, he can't hurt me. But..."

Qin Zhaozhao: "What is it?"

Shen Sicheng's eyes flashed with nervousness, and he asked in a difficult voice: "Don't you have any feelings for Mu Tingzhou?"

Qin Zhaozhao was puzzled at first, but then she noticed Shen Sicheng's little thoughts and smiled helplessly.

"No." She said firmly, "Not at all."

Shen Sicheng pursed his lips slightly, and his whole body relaxed. Then he seemed to think of something, and glanced at Lin Xi's ward out of the corner of his eye, and his body tensed up instantly.

Qin Zhaozhao was very close to Shen Sicheng and could clearly see his changes in mood.

"Don't worry, Xiaoxi will clear your name when she wakes up." She comforted Shen, "You have no reason to hurt Xiaoxi at all. There must be a misunderstanding."

Shen Sicheng looked at Qin Zhaozhao deeply, his mouth twitched slightly as if he wanted to say something, but finally fell silent.

Qin Zhaozhao took a step and then turned to look at Shen Sicheng.

"Don't worry about one thing. Even if we are nominally married, I will not cheat on you. I will resolve Mu Tingzhou's matter as soon as possible. In front of outsiders, you are my husband. As your wife, I will protect you and I will not let anyone trample on your dignity."

Shen Sicheng almost wanted to speak, but in the end said nothing.

Qin Zhaozhao didn't bother with Shen Sicheng's words. After all, he was a quiet person and would say what he wanted to say when he wanted to. She didn't want to force him.

When she entered the ward, she saw Gu Qingfeng looking at Lin Xi in shock, while Lin Xi looked at her through him.

"Xiaoxi..." Qin Zhaozhao walked over hurriedly, "You finally woke up. You scared me."

Lin Xi was about to speak when he saw Shen Sicheng. His expression immediately showed undisguised defensiveness and anger.

Qin Zhaozhao was about to speak when she saw the hatred in Lin Xi's eyes towards Shen Sicheng, and her heart tightened for a moment.

"Xiaoxi..."

Lin Xi seemed to have just reacted and looked at Qin Zhaozhao.

"Zhaozhao, you..."

"Xiao Xi!" Gu Qingfeng's voice was cold and stern. He placed his slender hand with distinct joints on Lin Xi's shoulder and applied a little force. "It's not easy for you to ask about anything now. Rest first, then talk to Zhao Zhao."

Lin Xi glanced at Gu Qingfeng, the corners of his mouth moved again and again, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he said nothing.

She looked at Qin Zhaozhao and said sadly, "I'm sorry for making you worry."

Qin Zhaozhao saw all the little moves between Gu Qingfeng and Lin Xi. She knew that the first thing Lin Xi would do when she woke up was to tell Gu Qingfeng why she was sure that Shen Sicheng was hurt.

Therefore, Gu Qingfeng, who had been worried that Lin Xi was going to go crazy, calmed down so much and even refused to allow Lin Xi to tell her the truth.

She turned her head and glanced at Shen Sicheng, and saw that Shen Sicheng looked indifferent, and did not feel guilty at all because Lin Xi woke up.

She looked at Lin Xi, and the moment they met Lin Xi's eyes, she saw worry and anger in Lin Xi's eyes that had not been concealed in time.

"Xiao Xi, I just want to ask you one question. After that, you can have a good rest." She was silent for a while before speaking, "You said before that Shen Sicheng hurt you. What was the reason for you saying this? I want to know the truth, okay?"

"Zhao Zhao..." Gu Qingfeng stood in front of Qin Zhaozhao, blocking her view. He stared at her with dark eyes, "If you want to know the truth, it won't take a while. The doctor just came in and said that Xiaoxi hit her head in a car accident. It's not easy to think too much during a concussion, so let Xiaoxi have a good rest."

After a pause, he slowed down his voice and said to Qin Zhaozhao: "Don't worry, I will inform you as soon as she recovers."

Qin Zhaozhao heard Gu Qingfeng's implication that he wanted her to leave the hospital, and obviously did not allow her to question Lin Xi.

She stared at Gu Qingfeng calmly and asked him in a voice that only she and he could hear.

"I know you know the truth. Since Lin Xi can't tell you, you tell me."

Gu Qingfeng raised his eyes slightly and glanced at Shen Sicheng who was not far away, with a flash of worry and hostility in his eyes.

The close distance allowed Qin Zhaozhao to see the changes in Gu Qingfeng's eyes, and for a moment she felt a chill on the back of her neck.

Gu Qingfeng rarely showed such a fierce look, but he showed it to Shen Sicheng.

"Don't drag it out. Answer my questions and I'll leave as soon as I get the answer." She asked Gu Qingfeng, "Tell me, was it Shen who caused Xiaoxi's injury?"
