After a wealthy woman went bankrupt, her live-in husband became her sugar daddy.

Before I could think about it, the phone rang, interrupting the conversation.

It belongs to Jiang Yichen.

I frowned involuntarily, subconsciously turned off the light, and didn't want to pay any attention to it.

The phone kept ringing, as if the caller wouldn't give up until they answered.

I only answered the call because I was really annoyed.

As soon as the call connected, a questioning voice came from the receiver: "Where are you?"

That tone of voice made me inexplicably dissatisfied.

I don't need to report my every move to him.

"I took the day off today, so there's no need for me to explain where I am."

There was silence on the other end of the phone for a few seconds.

At this moment, the nurse came in with the medication and reminded her, "Ms. Gu, you need an IV drip to reduce the swelling."

I reached out my hand.

Jiang Yichen seemed to have heard him and pressed on, "Are you at the hospital?"

I didn't want him to know, so I said coldly, "It's none of your business."

After saying that, I hung up the phone immediately.

Seeing my attitude, Lao Mo became somewhat worried, "Gu Mo, isn't it a bit inappropriate for you to talk to President Jiang like that..."

I understood what he meant, and said nonchalantly, "It's okay, I've already asked for leave."

Old Mo wisely refrained from saying anything more.

Not long after, there was a knock on the door of the ward.

I thought it was Jiang Yichen, and I subconsciously became nervous.

I looked up.

Song Le!

Come to think of it, if it were Jiang Yichen, he would definitely barge in and, upon seeing that it was Lao Mo keeping him company, would surely be met with a barrage of sarcastic remarks.

Seeing that I was on an IV drip and my ankle was red and swollen, Song Le immediately asked with concern, "Gu Mo, are you alright?"

I was a little surprised by his arrival, and shook my head to reply, "I'm fine, what brings you here?"

Song Le responded somewhat embarrassedly, "I saw the live stream, and some fans said you were injured, so I inquired and came to the hospital."

Perhaps afraid of disturbing us, Lao Mo got up from his seat and said, "Gu Mo, I'll go buy you something to eat."

Without waiting for my reply, he left the ward.

After Lao Mo left, Song Le sat next to me and took the initiative to speak, "Gu Mo, I have many channels to help you protect your rights. You should focus on recovering and not take such risks again."

Knowing he was concerned about me, I said gently, "Thank you, I'm really fine, don't worry about me."

As soon as he finished speaking, the door to the ward was pushed open again.

I assumed it was Lao Mo coming back, so I didn't pay much attention.

Until a familiar voice came.

Jiang Yichen's tone was tinged with sarcasm, "Song Le, you really are kind-hearted."

When Song Le and I turned our heads, we saw Jiang Yichen standing at the door with a cold expression.

His arrival was so sudden that my face fell instantly.

Song Le stood up from her chair, her eyes filled with hostility as she looked at him: "What are you doing here?"

The atmosphere between the two was about to erupt.

Seeing that something was wrong, I was about to speak when Song Le's phone rang, breaking the atmosphere.

Song Le took the phone, her expression changing.

He hung up the phone shortly after, his eyes filled with apology. "I'm sorry, Gu Mo, I have something to take care of. I'll come see you next time."

After saying that, he hurriedly left the ward.

In an instant, only Jiang Yichen and I were left in the ward.

He walked up to me and questioned me in a deep voice, "Gu Mo, why do you always do these inexplicable and dangerous things?"

His face looked terribly pale.

Suddenly, a surge of anger welled up inside me.

In his eyes, everything I did was meaningless.

Thinking about all this made me unhappy, and my tone became sharper, "What do you know? This is my responsibility."

He seemed surprised by my answer, and his expression softened a bit.

"I've never seen you so serious before?"

Before I could answer, Lao Mo walked over with a lunchbox in his hand.

Upon seeing Jiang Yichen, his expression changed slightly, and he awkwardly said, "Gu Mo, I bought you some dumplings."

Old Mo placed the dumplings on the cabinet and left the ward.

The atmosphere between Jiang Yichen and me became awkward again.

Not wanting to get into a standoff with him, I reached for the dumplings.

But as soon as I raised my hand, a sore and swollen feeling came from my arm, and it hurt so much that I couldn't lift it.

He had intended to ask Jiang Yichen for help, but seeing Jiang's sour face, he immediately gave up the idea.

If you ask him for food, you might not get anything and you might even get ridiculed by him.

I'm not going to do something that's thankless and disadvantageous.

Noticing my gaze, Jiang Yichen coldly picked up the dumplings.

He scooped one up with a spoon and brought it to my mouth.

I was surprised by his actions and obediently opened my mouth.

But when he feeds me, I always feel uncomfortable. The dumplings that are about to be eaten end up falling into the bowl before I can even bite into them.

Seeing that it was inconvenient for me, Jiang Yichen tried feeding me from several different angles, but the result was still the same.

Seeing that I really couldn't eat it, I said, almost in a fit of pique, "Fine, I won't eat it."

The next second, Jiang Yichen, with a dumpling in his mouth, leaned towards me and stuffed it straight into my mouth.

I froze instantly, stunned.

Then it dawned on me that he was taking advantage of me again!

I was so angry that I bit him.

Jiang Yichen wasn't angry at all; instead, he touched his lips with considerable satisfaction.

I just found him inexplicable.

But considering that his emotions have always been illogical, I couldn't be bothered to think about it any further.

However, I was surprised that we got along so well.

After he left, I was bored, so I opened the private messages in the live stream backend.

I scrolled through my private messages before I finally saw that Big Bowl had replied to my message.

She told me that after that day, many people sent her abusive private messages in the background.

Da Wan didn't want to be affected by these people's emotions, nor did she want to see those messages, so she never opened her private messages.

Her reply made me feel guilty.

It's all because of me that she suffered this undeserved misfortune.

When Da Wan saw my message, he comforted me instead.

I will clarify all the details and sincerely apologize to her, making it clear that no one will ever insult her again.

Da Wan sent me a long voice message praising me for handling the matter very well.

I also learned another piece of news from her.

This matter has become a trending topic, and the Consumer Rights Protection Association has also launched an investigation...
