"We're not sure if he can fully recover. But judging from the previous situation, Mr. Zhu still needs to rest well. It's best to have someone by his side to prevent any sudden situations."
Xiang Yutang felt a bit disappointed. Sigh, she didn't know how long this entanglement would last.
Zhu Yuan and Zheng Wanyin were busy with company affairs and couldn't come every day. So, the task of taking care of Zhu Zhengchu naturally fell on Xiang Yutang. Xiang Yutang originally wanted to hire a nurse, but Zhu Zhengchu would get unhappy whenever a nurse was hired. So, she had to stay by his side herself.
There was always a bit of awkwardness between them. Well, to be precise, it was Xiang Yutang who felt awkward. Zhu Zhengchu, on the other hand, was quite happy. He would pester Xiang Yutang every day, saying he wanted to sing for her.
Although Xiang Yutang was annoyed by Zhu Zhengchu's pestering, she had no objection to his singing. Back then, the main reason she had agreed to be with Zhu Zhengchu so quickly was because his singing was so beautiful.
Now that Zhu Zhengchu was injured and couldn't play musical instruments, he could only sing acapella for Xiang Yutang. His voice was already very attractive even without accompaniment, and Xiang Yutang was completely entranced.
After Zhu Zhengchu finished singing, he looked at her with a smile in his eyes. "Do you like it?"
Xiang Yutang said against her will, "It's just so - so."
Even though her attitude wasn't very good, Zhu Zhengchu still smiled happily.
They rarely touched electronic devices, so they had no idea that the micro - blog was boiling again.
The trouble started because the news of Zhu Zhengchu's injury couldn't be kept secret. When the fans learned that Zhu Zhengchu was seriously injured, they went crazy. They swarmed under the film crew's official account, demanding an explanation. Then, some paparazzi captured Xiang Yutang waiting outside Zhu Zhengchu's ward. People were saying all sorts of things, and this incident triggered a huge controversy.
Under the pressure, the film crew was now in a complete mess, not knowing what to do. They called Xiang Yutang, hoping she could come up with some solutions.
"What? I thought it was well - hidden. How did they still find out?" Xiang Yutang frowned.
"It's all those paparazzi!" the director said, on the verge of tears.
Xiang Yutang frowned. Since she entered the entertainment industry, she had hated paparazzi the most. They had no morals at all!
But now that the incident had already happened, complaining was useless. Xiang Yutang could only think of a solution.
Zhu Zhengchu was taking his medicine while looking at her. "What's wrong?"
Xiang Yutang looked at him, and suddenly an idea popped into her head.
"Now, immediately post on your micro - blog that you only suffered a minor injury on the set and accidentally aggravated an old wound, which is why you were hospitalized."
Zhu Zhengchu looked at her and grinned. "If I do as you say, what reward will you give me?"
"I'll give you a good beating! Hurry up and post!" Xiang Yutang was a bit impatient.
Zhu Zhengchu reached for his phone. He was different from Xiang Yutang, who liked to play around on social media. Xiang Yutang's micro - blog account was strictly controlled by Zhuo Ziyu, who was afraid she might post something inappropriate. But Zhu Zhengchu's micro - blog account was in his own hands, and he could post whatever he wanted.
Xiang Yutang said a few more words to the director, mainly to tell him to calm down. She would handle the situation. After hanging up the call with the director, Zhuo Ziyu's call came in.
Xiang Yutang answered. "Hello? Baby, what's up?"
Zhuo Ziyu's voice sounded a bit anxious. "You're back together with Zhu Zhengchu?"
"Ah? No, I'm not." Xiang Yutang was completely confused. How could she get back together with Zhu Zhengchu?
"Then look at the micro - blog. Zhu Zhengchu posted that the two of you are already together."
Xiang Yutang quickly tried to log in to her micro - blog, but there were too many people trying to log in at the same time, so she couldn't get in. She had no choice but to go into the ward and question Zhu Zhengchu. "Zhu Zhengchu, what on earth do you mean?"
Zhu Zhengchu pretended not to understand. "What did I do?"
"Why did you say we're together? Don't you know we've broken up?"
Zhu Zhengchu tilted his head and looked at her. "Haven't we always been together? Wife, you're so strange."
Xiang Yutang threw her phone down and grabbed his collar. "You're pretending, right? You never called me wife before. How come you start calling me wife after you woke up? Hm?"
Zhu Zhengchu smiled. "I don't know. I just want to call you that."
He looked so natural that there was no sign of pretense, which made Xiang Yutang start to doubt again whether he was really pretending. His acting skills were just too good.
But then she thought that Zhu Zhengchu was an actor who could win the Best Actor award even while playing a supporting role. Pretending like this was nothing to him.
Xiang Yutang let go of him and looked down at him. "Then tell me, what happened between you and that woman on the night of my debut?"
If Zhu Zhengchu instinctively tried to explain, he would expose himself completely. The night of her debut was the night they broke up. Zhu Zhengchu couldn't only remember that woman but forget about the breakup, right?
She stared at Zhu Zhengchu intently. Under her gaze, a confused look slowly appeared on Zhu Zhengchu's face. "Debut night? What woman? Why can't I remember anything..." Zhu Zhengchu covered his head, looking a bit uncomfortable.
Xiang Yutang remembered what the doctor said. Forcing him to recall some memories might backfire.
"Stop! Don't think about it. There's nothing. I was just talking nonsense!" If Zhu Zhengchu forgot more things, she would be in big trouble.
"Now, go and delete that post on your micro - blog," Xiang Yutang said coldly.
Zhu Zhengchu put his hand down. "I don't want to. We're clearly together. Why can't they know?"
Xiang Yutang scrutinized him. "Didn't you say before that we're both in the rising stage of our acting careers and it's better not to make our relationship public for the time being?"
Zhu Zhengchu scratched his head. "But I just want to make it public now. It doesn't matter. If worst comes to worst, I'll quit the entertainment industry and be your little husband behind you."
Xiang Yutang: "..."
This man was really sick, and seriously so.
Because of Zhu Zhengchu's post about their relationship, the anger of many fans had shifted from the film crew. Some CP fans were celebrating their love, while some fans were heart - broken and wanted to unfollow them.
Xiaolin ran over to Zhu Zhengchu, sweating profusely. "Brother Zhu, that post on your micro - blog was just a joke, right? You caught us completely off guard. Now, several big fan - site owners are saying they're going to unfollow you. What should we do?" Stars and fans relied on each other. If there was a large - scale defection of fans, even if Zhu Zhengchu could still stay in the industry, his career would definitely not be as successful as before.
But Zhu Zhengchu didn't care at all. His eyes were full of Xiang Yutang. "I only want my wife."
Xiang Yutang turned her head away, pretending she didn't hear anything.
