On the way out of the hospital, Si Zhengting was walking in front while Su Yanbin followed behind him. Su Yanbin did not look good. As he looked at Si Zhengting, at his tenacious profile and at his usual nonchalant expression, he felt as though nothing could destroy this strong man or defeat his rationality.
However, having grown up with him, Su Yanbin knew that Si Zhengting must be feeling terrible right now. He paused for a moment before saying, “Is this why you won’t let sister-in-law see the children?” His usual impatient and fickle tone was gone. Instead, he sounded heavy-hearted and sad.
Si Zhengting stayed silent.
Su Yanbin sighed deeply and looked up at the sky. “See, everyone else’s love occurs naturally. After getting married, they might risk separation due to various reasons. But us? As successors of our respective families, we can’t even date decently. I witnessed your and sister-in-law’s relationship in high school. At that time, I thought that it wouldn’t be difficult for the two of you to stay together until marriage judging from your status and Auntie’s easygoing personality. But I didn’t expect the two of you to go through so much adversity. After overcoming all the challenges painstakingly, both of you got together again and the truth was finally unveiled. But, in the end, something like this happened again. When will all these misfortunes end?!”
There was a tinge of hopelessness in his lament. If there was something that even a strong man like Si Zhengting couldn’t control, how difficult of a problem would that be?
He looked over at Si Zhengting. “Leader Ting, I support your decision of not letting her see the children. My heart is already aching so much from seeing the children like that. If she sees them, her confinement would surely not proceed smoothly and she would probably cry every day.”
After saying this, he turned around and glanced at the hospital. “Leader Ting, can this hospital be trusted? Will the babies’ lives be in danger?”
“No.” Si Zhengting’s answer was straightforward. It seemed like he had said that to Su Yanbin, but also to himself. “Everything will be fine. I have hired the most renowned pediatrician in the country to conduct a full-body checkup on the babies. The babies don’t have any underlying problems.”
“This might be the only silver lining in the cloud,” Su Yanbin lamented.
After he finished speaking, Si Zhengting’s phone, which was in his suit’s pocket, rang. He accepted the call and heard Ji Chen say over the phone, “Mr. Si, Ms. Mi insists on meeting you. What do you…”
Si Zhengting’s eyes narrowed and he said coldly, “Don’t you know what to do?”
Ji Chen flinched. “Sorry, Sir. I… know what to do.”
―
In another villa under Si Zhengting’s name.
Mi Nuo was sitting on the couch.
Today, she was wearing a white coat, but the left sleeve had been stained by blood. She bit her lip. Her face was as white as paper and she was shaking. She tugged on Ji Chen’s sleeve forcefully with her uninjured hand, refusing to let him leave.
Ji Chen ended the call and looked down at her.
Then, Mi Nuo said apprehensively, “Is Mr. Si coming? When will he arrive?”
Ji Chen frowned as he felt a headache creeping in.
Now, he couldn’t hit or scold this woman freely.
She was very irritating, but she still took a bullet in Madam’s stead. Seeing how she was clinging on to him tenaciously, he’d had to give Mr. Si a call unwillingly.
But… Mr. Si didn’t even care about her!
After pondering for a moment, he said, “Sir is busy.”
