Downstairs at the hospital, Xu Jin stood at the entrance carrying two insulated containers, a thin layer of sweat beading on her forehead.

When he saw Shen Zhixia appear, his dark eyes shone brightly, and his handsome face was filled with undisguised joy.

"Xiaxia, this is the lunch I brought for you. The red insulated box contains your favorite dishes, and the blue insulated box contains light dishes. Nanchen... he should like it."

When Shen Zhixia saw his bright eyes, her gaze darkened slightly, and she clenched her hands at her sides.

"Don't bother bringing us food anymore. It's time-consuming and laborious, and not worth it."

Xu Jin's cooking wasn't actually that good; it was worlds apart from Ji Nanchen's.

Rather than eating Xu Jin's cooking, she'd rather have Li Xiangnan order takeout from a nice restaurant, saving both time and effort.

Xu Jin's smile cracked slightly, but he quickly composed himself and said with a smile, "I... okay, you're right."

"Do you want to go up and see him?"

Shen Zhixia originally wanted Xu Jin to go back first, but then she felt that it wouldn't be right for her to send him away so soon after he had come all this way, so she politely asked him.

Ji Nanchen's emotions have been much more stable lately, so if Xu Jin goes up there to take a look from a distance, it shouldn't have much of an impact.

Xu Jin paused for a moment, then forced a smile and shook her head.

"I'm not going. I'm afraid Nanchen will get too emotional and angry again if he sees me."

Shen Zhixia nodded slightly, took the lunchbox from his hand, and said directly, "Then go back early and be careful on the road."

After saying this, she turned and walked towards the elevator.

The next second, Xu Jin's urgent voice rang out behind her, tinged with anxiety, "Xiaxia, how is Nan Chen now? I saw on the trending topics that his condition is very serious, maybe..."

Shen Zhixia's face darkened, and when she turned to look at Xu Jin, her expression remained as indifferent as ever.

"He's fine, he can be discharged in a few days."

"That's good. You should also take care to rest. If there's anything you need me to do, just give me a call."

Xu Jin tried hard to adjust her facial expression and carefully looked at Shen Zhixia, who was standing not far away.

Shen Zhixia looked at him indifferently and said coldly, "You don't need to worry about our affairs. I will arrange for Li Xiangnan to do it if needed."

"Okay... okay."

After her initial surprise, Xu Jin forced a smile at Shen Zhixia and turned to leave.

He had already prepared himself for Shen Zhixia's attitude towards him, so he wasn't too surprised.

He never loved Shen Zhixia, so how could he be heartbroken?

He understood Shen Zhixia and knew she didn't like clingy people, so he didn't pester her too much or put on an act, instead playing the obedient person she wanted.

As for Ji Nanchen, he better be really crazy, otherwise I'll make a move and kill him!

As Xu Jin thought of this, her eyes flashed, and her dark eyes were filled with a sinister light.

The saying that those who know how to behave are the ones who survive, still holds true today.

No one can stop him from pursuing wealth, otherwise he will make the other party wish they were dead.

As Xu Jin walked out of the hospital, his cell phone suddenly rang with a melodious sound.

He frowned, took out his phone, and when he saw that familiar name, his body involuntarily stiffened.

He intended to hang up immediately, but his hand trembled and he accidentally pressed the answer button.

Soon, a domineering voice came from the phone, "My little darling Xu Jin, did you miss me?"

Xu Jin froze instantly, her hand holding the phone tightening involuntarily. Just as she reached out to hang up, the person's voice came through again.

"If you dare hang up on me, I'll make you wish you were dead."

Upon hearing this, Xu Jin's long-buried nightmare was suddenly unearthed. His finger trembled, but he ultimately did not press the hang-up button.

He took a few deep breaths, trying to calm himself down, and asked gently, "Why did you suddenly call me?"

I missed you, so I called you.

After saying this with a light smile, Meng Jiaojiao tightened her grip on the phone slightly. "Xu Jin, you're really ruthless to me. You lied to me and then ran away."

“I…we broke up three years ago. I told you we were breaking up, and you said that without me, you would only have other better men.”

Xu Jin's palms were sweaty, and his handsome face was pale and unpleasant.

The next second, Meng Jiaojiao's mocking voice came from the phone, "Those words, once said, are gone. Who would take them seriously? Or are you saying that you're now hooking up with Shen Zhixia because you think she's richer and easier to fool?"

"I don't!"

Xu Jin clenched her fists at her sides and retorted sharply.

Hearing this, Meng Jiaojiao couldn't help but chuckle twice. "Xu Jin, I'll be waiting for you at the usual place in two days. Remember to come."

"What do you want from me? We have nothing to do with each other anymore!"

Faced with Xu Jin's angry questioning, Meng Jiaojiao was not angry at all, and even said with a smile: "If you are not afraid that I will do something irrational, you'd better keep the appointment."

"Meng Jiaojiao, why did we..."

"Beep beep."

Before Xu Jin could finish speaking, Meng Jiaojiao hung up the phone.

Xu Jin angrily grabbed her phone, raising her hand as if to smash it, but ultimately couldn't bear to break such an expensive phone, so she could only kick the stone at her feet fiercely.

His situation is already complicated enough, what is Meng Jiaojiao doing here!

Isn't this causing trouble for him?

Xu Jin really wanted to call back and yell at Meng Jiaojiao, but he couldn't; she still had leverage over him.

He suddenly remembered what had happened before, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he felt a chill run down his spine.

Four years ago, Meng Jiaojiao was his sugar daddy, giving him money, power, and influence so he could enjoy a life of luxury, but the price he paid was also very high.

Not an inch of his skin was intact; he suffered inhuman torment every night.

He endured a year for the sake of a life of extravagance and debauchery.

Later, he finally couldn't take it anymore and wanted to escape, but Meng Jiaojiao caught him and brought him back.

Meng Jiaojiao warned him that if he dared to run away again, she would kill him.

He went back, and when Meng Jiaojiao tormented him again, he went mad and resisted, fearless of death, and that's how Meng Jiaojiao became afraid.

She was afraid that if someone really died, she would be caught in a media storm, so she graciously let him go.

Xu Jin clenched her teeth, her breathing became heavier, and her eyes were filled with a sinister and vicious look.

He finally made it here, so why does Meng Jiaojiao have to come after him and ruin his life?

He absolutely cannot let Meng Jiaojiao appear in front of Shen Zhixia. If Shen Zhixia finds out about his past, she will definitely abandon him.

Xu Jin walked quickly towards her car, her mind racing, constantly calculating what she should do next...
