The obedient girl glances up, and the tyrannical tycoon kneels down to pamper her.

Luo Huai gave her a deep look.

"You feel the same way, don't you?" Zhu Shuangshuang said as they walked. "What if she really takes advantage of our kindness?"

"If I had any, I could give it to you." Luo Huai gently touched her belly. Fortunately, the baby was alright, and she was still grateful to Guo Hui.

Zhu Shuangshuang said quietly, "What if she wants your husband?"

“That won’t do,” Luo Huai replied without hesitation. “I can’t give it to my husband and children.”

“Your husband should hear this. He’d be thrilled.” Zhu Shuangshuang shook her head again. “Never mind, I can’t let him hear it, or he’ll definitely gloat.”

Luo Huai chuckled to himself.

The two arrived at Guo Hui's ward and saw through the small window in the door that Han Zhang was handing Guo Hui a hot towel to wipe her face.

Zhu Shuangshuang couldn't help but sigh, "Han Ge is such a considerate person. He came to take care of her for as long as she was hospitalized, without missing a single day. Why does he have to stick to your husband? Is your husband handsome and rich?"

Luo Huai smiled and nodded: "Yes."

Brother Zhao is indeed handsome, rich, and very reassuring.

Zhu Shuangshuang rolled her eyes at her: "..."

dong dong.

After knocking and entering, Guo Hui exclaimed in surprise and delight, "Luo Huai, what brings you here?"

"You were discharged this afternoon, so I came to see you." Luo Huai stepped forward. "I also wanted to thank you for saving me and my child."

"You're welcome." Guo Hui was no longer as confrontational as she had been the night they first met. She seemed much softer, as if she had reformed and no longer coveted Xing Yanzhao.

"Luo Huai, please sit down first. Han Zhang, go wash some fruit." Guo Hui had been ordering Han Zhang around since high school, and Han Zhang always obeyed her.

In Han Zhang's mind, Guo Hui's behavior was like ordering her husband around. As the male head of the household, he should indeed wash the fruit and receive guests.

Luo Huai wanted to say it wasn't necessary, but Guo Hui preemptively told Han Zhang to wash at the pool at the end of the corridor outside, saying the water there was cleaner.

Luo Huai seemed to understand something and asked Zhu Shuangshuang to come along. Zhu Shuangshuang was initially unwilling, but eventually she couldn't resist Luo Huai's insistence and went out.

Before leaving, he said, "We'll be back soon after we shower."

It means don't even think about taking advantage of Luo Huai!

After the two left, the ward became quiet, leaving only Guo Hui sitting on the hospital bed and Luo Huai sitting in the chair, looking at each other with faint smiles on their faces.

"Your friend seems afraid I'll bully you," Guo Hui asked with a smile. "Luo Huai, have I ever bullied you?"

“No,” Luo Huai replied calmly. “You also saved me and my child, thank you.”

Faced with Luo Huai's clear and sincere gaze, Guo Hui suddenly felt that she was no different from that dark rat, and sneered inwardly.

How could someone like Luo Huai, who grew up with good food and drink, be the same kind of person as Brother Zhao?

She and Brother Zhao are truly on the same page.

“I saved you because of Brother Zhao, because you are carrying Brother Zhao’s child.” Guo Hui seemed to have no intention of holding back any longer. “Luo Huai, you can see that I still love Brother Zhao. If it weren’t for my love for him, I wouldn’t have risked my life to save you.”

“I know.” Since the other party had been so direct, she didn’t mince words. “I knew from your dance at the graduation party that you came to Ningcheng this time because of Brother Zhao. I just wasn’t sure whether you came for him as a person or for his wealth and status.”

The smile on Guo Hui's face gradually faded.

"Isn't it all him? The one I love."

"Then why did you complain about the eggs Grandma cooked for you? You accepted them with a smile, then threw them in the trash the moment you turned the corner." Luo Huai's words were like a gentle knife, slowly tearing open a hole in Guo Hui's mask of pretense.

Guo Hui straightened her posture slightly.

She didn't understand how Luo Huai knew about this, but more than ten years had passed, and no one had seen it at the time.

"I don't know what you're talking about," Guo Hui denied.

Luo Huai simply smiled slightly: "The night you reappeared, Kuangye told us about this."

What? Guo Hui's pupils contracted.

So Brother Zhao found out too?

“Yes, Brother Zhao knows too.” Luo Huai answered her question. “Brother Zhao didn’t say anything because he is kind-hearted and doesn’t take advantage of women, and also because he is someone who always looks forward and rarely looks back. The matter is over, and he is not with you, so naturally he doesn’t care about that matter.”

Guo Hui's face paled again.

"Do you think Brother Zhao would be with someone who tramples on Grandma's sincerity?" Luo Huai pressed on, "That night when we had supper, you were saying, both openly and subtly, how well you know Brother Zhao. You must also know very well the place Grandma and Kuangye hold in Brother Zhao's heart."

Guo Hui knew.

Back then, Zhao Ge was so angry when he found out that his younger brother had skipped evening self-study to work illegally during junior high school that he went to arrest him himself. The two brothers argued about "why you can go to work and earn money but I can't". In the end, they got into a fight because Kuang Ye said, "Just because you have bad grades, does that mean you have to work and earn money to support the family? Just because I have good grades, does that mean I should suck your blood?"

Brother Zhao punched Kuangye.

Kuang Ye was also hot-tempered and threw a punch back. The two brothers fought fiercely, and Han Zhang tried to pull them apart, but he couldn't budge the two strong men at all.

Zhao Ge was very restrained in his actions, and she was afraid that he would get into trouble if he was beaten in the wilderness, so she grabbed a wine bottle from the next table and smashed it on him.

Kuangye wasn't knocked unconscious, but her head was bleeding profusely. At that time, Brother Zhao looked at her with murderous intent and questioned her about why she hit someone.

Later, after taking Kuangye to the clinic to have his wound bandaged, Zhao apologized for his tone earlier and told her, "Don't interfere in my and Kuangye's affairs."

He treated the wilderness like his own younger brother.

“Even blood brothers don’t have such a deep bond; they are family members who can entrust their backs to each other,” Luo Huai continued. “And these two people are protecting a grandmother together.”

"I only lost two eggs!" Guo Hui retorted angrily.

"For them at that time, it wasn't just two..."

"Alright, you don't need to tell me how well you know him anymore." Guo Hui shut Luo Huai up and said unwillingly, "You two are not on the same level at all. You are a rich young lady who grew up in a wealthy family, while Brother Zhao is just a... even if he is a rich young master now, the nature is different. He and I are the same, from the bottom."

“If you insist on saying that, then the one who is truly not on the same path as Brother Zhao is you.” No matter how hard Guo Hui tried to persuade him, Luo Huai remained calm and composed. “Although I grew up in a wealthy family, my parents died early, and I lived a life of dependence on others, taking care of myself. Brother Zhao also has no parents and takes care of himself. We are both like orphans.”

"As far as I know, your family is well-off compared to most people. You are an only child, loved by your parents, and they even have the money to send you to learn ballet. People who study art usually have some family wealth, but compared to a wealthy family like the Xing family, it's just a drop in the ocean."

"You!" Guo Hui was almost speechless. "You two are in an arranged marriage! Brother Zhao is a very responsible person. He only married you because you are pregnant with his child, and he has to take on this responsibility! Responsibility is not love!"

“But he made a promise to me, to my deceased parents, and to my relatives and friends.” Luo Huai looked at her calmly.

"That's not love either. Are responsibility and promises the same as love? Does Brother Zhao really love you?" Guo Hui leaned forward, staring intently at Luo Huai, trying to break her composure.
