"Mr. Ji, it's me."

Wang Ma's voice rang out at the master bedroom door, which deepened my doubts.

During the time Wang Ma has been living in the villa, she rarely goes upstairs. Why did she suddenly come over tonight?

I got up and walked towards the master bedroom door, then reached out and opened it.

Wang Ma stood at the door, holding a tray in both hands, on which was a bowl of longevity noodles.

"Mr. Ji, Miss said it's your birthday today, and she specially asked me to cook you a bowl of longevity noodles to wish you a happy birthday and that you will be free from disasters and difficulties in the future."

Did Shen Zhixia ask Wang Ma to cook the noodles? When was they cooked?

After I came to my senses, my face darkened. "Wang Ma, I'm not hungry. You can take it away and throw it away."

Longevity noodles, a blessing to be free from disasters and hardships, are a wonderful wish, but unfortunately, this blessing will never come true for me.

Shen Zhixia... probably wouldn't want me to be without any trouble.

Wang Ma, who was standing in front of me, was stunned for a moment, clearly not expecting me to say that.

A fleeting look of helplessness crossed her face, but she immediately began to comfort me.

“Mr. Ji, your birthday only comes once a year. This is also a token of Miss’s affection for you. If you’re not hungry now, you can eat later.”

"it is good."

This time, I did not refuse Wang Ma's advice.

I know that Wang Ma is just a maid, and my refusal will only put her in a difficult position.

I reached out and took the longevity noodles she was holding, then turned and walked towards the desk in the room.

The moment I took the tray, I could clearly feel Wang Ma breathe a sigh of relief.

I think perhaps Shen Zhixia specifically instructed her to have Wang Ma deliver the longevity noodles, which is why she seemed to take it so seriously.

Standing at the door of the master bedroom, Wang Ma thoughtfully closed the door for me after I turned to leave.

"boom."

The door closed with a click, and the room fell silent once more.

I placed the longevity noodles on the table, my eyes dark and unfocused.

During the three years I was married to Shen Zhixia, I would cook a bowl of longevity noodles for both her and my birthdays and sit at the table quietly waiting for her to come home.

But she never went home on those special days.

I snapped out of my thoughts, looked down to unlock my phone, and immediately saw the China Merchants Bank's text message interface.

Shen Zhixia didn't remember it was my birthday at all. She only remembered it because she saw the birthday reminder on the China Flower Bank's mobile app.

I forced a bitter smile, remained silent for a long time, then got up, picked up the bowl of longevity noodles, and poured them all into the toilet.

I don't know if eating longevity noodles will make me live longer, but I'm destined to die young.

The next morning, I woke up naturally. When I went downstairs for breakfast, there was no one else in the villa except for Wang Ma.

I lived a peaceful and comfortable life in the days that followed.

After I went to the hospital for my routine blood test, Mr. Li Jingtao from Xingfu Orphanage called me.

"Nanchen, you haven't come to collect the gifts the children gave you for your birthday last time."

He made this call ostensibly to ask Ji Nanchen to pick up the gift from the orphanage, but in reality, he was worried about Ji Nanchen's health and wanted to see for himself to put his mind at ease.

As he finished speaking, the children surrounding him, hearing the voice, couldn't help but ask:

"Brother Nanchen, we miss you so much! Please come and see us!"

"Brother Nanchen, it's me, Xiaoxi. Do you remember me? I made you a really beautiful birthday card last time. I made a new one this time, and I'll give it to you when you come."

"Brother Nanchen, please bring Sister Jinyun over to play with us."

"Brother Nanchen, I've grown taller again!"

The children's voices rose and fell, full of enthusiasm, which made me smile slightly.

I tightened my grip on my phone slightly and said with a smile, "Then I'll go there tomorrow."

After receiving my answer, Teacher Li Jingtao let out a barely perceptible sigh of relief.

"Okay, then the kids and I will be waiting for you to come over and have lunch together."

"Row."

After making the appointment with Teacher Li Jingtao, we chatted for a few more minutes about other things before hanging up the phone.

Not long after, my blood analysis report came out. Dr. Lin praised me for being very obedient this time, taking my medicine properly, and for my body slowly recovering. He said that as long as I continue to take the medicine and maintain a good mood, recovery is only a matter of time.

But in my opinion, whether he recovers or not is no longer that important.

I smiled and assured Dr. Lin that I would continue to cooperate with the treatment.

After leaving Dr. Lin's office, I went to find Meng Jinghuai.

When Meng Jinghuai saw me, he was clearly taken aback for a moment. "Nan Chen, what brings you here?"

"I heard from Dr. Lin that you've been very busy lately, so I thought I'd come and see you."

After I finished speaking, I smiled and added, "My blood analysis report this time showed pretty good values ​​in all areas. Dr. Lin told me to continue with the treatment and strive for a speedy recovery."

Meng Jinghuai smiled and patted my shoulder, "Good job, lad."

I smiled faintly, then asked a question as if it were casual.

"Has the incident of the medical dispute at your hospital been resolved?"

"It's taken care of."

At this point, Meng Jinghuai leaned closer to me, glanced around at the surroundings, and said mysteriously, "The medical dispute was quite strange. The patient's family suddenly stopped pursuing the matter. Later, the patient even admitted that he had accidentally eaten an allergenic food afterward and was afraid of being scolded by his family, so he kept quiet."

"After the patient's family apologized to the doctor involved, they even presented the doctor with a banner."

"Oh, right, they were also worried that the online public opinion would have a bad impact on the hospital, so they made the patient publicly apologize to our hospital online. Now the medical dispute has completely passed."

Upon hearing this, my eyes flickered slightly, and the smile on my lips unconsciously widened.

"As long as it's okay, it'll be okay."

Perhaps it was because I had argued with Shen Zhixia that day, and it happened to be my birthday, that she used her influence to let the medical dispute pass.

In short, now that the Second Hospital's reputation has been restored, I no longer need to feel guilty.

If we are all well, that's good enough.

That afternoon, when I returned to the villa, I was in a rare moment of joy.

But my pleasant mood didn't last long before I ran into Xu Jin at the entrance.

I intended to bypass him and go straight back to my room, but he blocked my way.

Xu Jin approached me step by step, her sinister smile growing increasingly sinister and terrifying.

I unconsciously frowned, feeling a sense of wariness towards him.

He quickly stopped in front of me and asked in a sinister tone, "Ji Nanchen, how have you been feeling lately?"
