The strategy failed, she came back holding the bottle

"Cough cough!"

The door of the ward opened, and He Nuan and the doctor walked in, interrupting with two light coughs.

Man Yue immediately stood up from his arms.

Before Xie Xiao could withdraw his hand, his arms felt cold and empty. He looked at the person who came with some dissatisfaction. Could he say that he hadn't hugged enough?

The doctor asked a few simple questions and examined him, confirming that there was nothing wrong and allowed him to be discharged after a few days of observation.

Man Yue poured him a glass of warm water. After the doctor left, He Nuan stared at them and asked, "What were you two doing just now?"

"........."

On the other side, He Wenjing sent Shen Zhizhi downstairs.

Shen Zhizhi didn't get off the car immediately, and asked, "Do you want to get on and sit down?"

He Wenjing refused: "I have something else to do, it's not convenient."

Shen Zhizhi pursed her lips and spoke after a while: "I haven't eaten yet, so this is a good opportunity to try out my cooking skills. My cooking skills have improved a lot over the years."

He Wenjing turned his head and looked at her with a pair of serious and cold eyes:

"Zhizhi, I thought I was obvious enough in England, and you learned your lesson. I've told you many times that I have a girlfriend and I don't have those kinds of feelings for you. You don't have to keep hinting and testing me."

Shen Zhizhi's eyes flushed red. "Am I nothing in your heart anymore? Not even as good as this college student you've only met twice?"

The moment he finished speaking, He Wenjing suddenly turned his eyes to the side and looked at her coldly, causing Shen Zhizhi to choke on the rest of her words.

He Wenjing inexplicably became angry: "I'll say it again, I have a girlfriend. I don't care about you or anyone else. Don't look for me again in the future, and I won't care about you anymore."

Shen Zhizhi shuddered with fear, tears instantly falling: "You want to break up with me?"

He Wenjing: "I warned you long ago, but you've crossed the line time and time again. This is the last time."

Shen Zhizhi was devastated: "But you broke up."

He Wenjing's face suddenly turned cold and frosty: "Get out of the car."

Shen Zhizhi didn't move, so He Wenjing got out of the car and pulled her out, leaving her alone there, breathing in the exhaust fumes.

She felt very aggrieved. One by one, two people came to snatch her man.

At dusk, she returned home carrying her bag, feeling very unhappy. When she opened the door, the lights in the house were on and a figure was standing in front of the window looking down.

Shen Zhizhi was suddenly startled. Duan Zhou was here. He was standing in front of the window and could just see her getting out of He Wenjing's car.

She was annoyed for a moment, then closed the door and walked in.

Duan Zhou held the goblet in his hand, turned around, and gently put the cup down.

"You...why are you here?"

Duan Zhou walked over to her, took the bag hanging on her arm, and threw it on the sofa without saying a word.

Shen Zhizhi was a little afraid of Duan Zhou who made her feel that he didn't care about her, as if he didn't love her anymore.

Just as she was about to speak to explain what had just happened downstairs, she was suddenly picked up in the air, with a long step, kicked open the half-closed door of the bedroom, threw her on the bed, and then pulled at his tie.

Shen Zhizhi shrank back in shock: "What are you going to do?"

"you."

Duan Zhou spoke in a low and cold voice. He threw the tie hard on the bed, then pinched her ankles and pulled her over, leaning over to untie the belt of her skirt.

Shen Zhizhi felt aggrieved and confused. She had just been wronged by He Wenjing and was angry.

The two men she liked no longer wanted her.

Now, with that anger, she no longer resisted Duan Zhou's actions. You see, even without them, there is still a man who loves her to death.

After a hearty indulgence, Shen Zhizhi was completely exhausted. Duan Zhou was not gentle at all and seemed to be venting his dissatisfaction.

He stood up and began to put on his clothes without saying a word. Shen Zhizhi looked at his back, feeling annoyed. After a while, she said, "I want to be the heroine of Director Li's movie."

Duan Zhou stopped buttoning his shirt, his collar slightly open, revealing a patch of wheat. He looked back, pinched her chin, and sneered, "How can this time be enough?"

Shen Zhizhi suddenly felt humiliated and stood up and slapped him in the face.

Snap! A crisp slapping sound rang out, and she used quite a bit of strength.

Shen Zhizhi's eyes were filled with anger: "You bastard, are you treating me like a prostitute?"

Duan Zhou's head tilted sideways after being hit, his eyes red as an angry lion: "Then why don't you let He Wenjing help you?"

This sentence made Shen Zhizhi choke up and speechless.

Used to being self-righteous, she subconsciously treated Duan Zhou as a bootlicker and a tool to be used. She even forgot for a moment that when Duan Zhou was outside, people also respectfully called him "Mr. Duan", and now... he treated her differently.

"Does what you said last time still count?" Shen Zhizhi asked.

He said he only helped his girlfriend.

Duan Zhou snorted coldly: "Dream on."

Then he picked up his tie and turned away.

With a bang of the door closing, she was the only one left in the house again.

In the silence, she suddenly covered her head with the quilt and burst into tears.

What's the point of God letting her live again?

She once had it, but lost it again. Now she is living such a miserable life. Why did God treat her like this? What did she do wrong?

Xie Xiao has been having a great time staying in the hospital these days. Not only does he not have to do anything, but he also has his girlfriend by his side to take care of him.

During this period, his roommate came to see him once and kept calling Man Yue "sister-in-law". He was so happy that he twisted into a knot in the quilt in the middle of the night and laughed out loud.

When he was notified that he could be discharged from the hospital, he was still a little reluctant to leave. He thought that once he left the hospital, he would never be treated as well as his girlfriend again!

So I quietly pulled the doctor aside and asked if he could stay for a few more days.

Just then, his mother caught him. She looked at him with dismay, "Man Yue has been running back and forth between the hospital and school these days, and you still want to stay here? How can you be so demanding?"

Xie Xiao was in the wrong: "I'm just saying, don't tell Man Yue."

Mother Xie said, "I'll send someone to pick you up from the hospital tomorrow. Take good care of yourself when you return to school and don't get hurt again. This winter vacation, you'll have to intern at the company."

"Didn't you say after graduation?" Xie Xiao was puzzled.

Mother Xie sat by his bed and helped him peel fruit. She said, "You're not young anymore. It won't hurt to get involved in company affairs earlier. Once you have the ability, I can rest assured to hand over the company to you."

Xie Xiao took the freshly peeled apple and ate it: "I remember, I will go to the company during the winter vacation."

Mother Xie wiped her hands with a tissue and said, "And Man Yue, she's a good child. If you like her, treat her well. After all, the Jiang family is not an ordinary family. When you get married, it will be a great help to the company and your future career."

"Mom." Xie Xiao interrupted her in a strange tone, dissatisfied: "How can you say that? My marriage with Man Yue is like a transaction."
