Perhaps realizing that she had gotten carried away, Bei Mo quickly wiped the smile off her face and cast a cautious look.
What should she do? Would Qian Chen think she was a gossiper? No, she must find a way to make up for it!
An idea flashed through her mind. Bei Mo first cut the peeled apple into small pieces, then carefully probed.
"Qian Chen, I didn't mean to dampen your mood. It's just that Yuan Meng has gone too far, so I..."
Ling Qian Chen had just finished a surgery and was still a bit dazed, but it didn't mean he couldn't see through Bei Mo's little tricks.
"Enough."
His words were cold and flat, leaving Bei Mo unable to figure out his thoughts for a moment.
"Qian Chen..."
Ling Qian Chen lifted his eyelids and shot a cold glare at her, making Bei Mo shiver all over.
That look was really terrifying!
Fortunately, Ling Qian Chen didn't "pay much attention" either. After his gaze lingered on Bei Mo for a few seconds, he shifted it away.
"Don't mention her anymore."
Whether it was Chai Yanyu or Bei Mo, as long as anyone mentioned the name "Yuan Meng", his head would buzz non - stop.
Not for anything else, but because Yuan Meng, his wife, was really a troublesome crybaby!
Moreover, he wasn't interested in anything related to Yuan Meng. After all...
Seeing Ling Qian Chen return to his calm self, Bei Mo felt extremely complicated.
Logically speaking, the more he hated Yuan Meng, the happier she should be secretly!
However, at this moment, Ling Qian Chen was still an enigma to her.
Was he just being silent now, or was he lost in thought that had nothing to do with her?
"Qian Chen, you..." Ling Qian Chen ignored her for a long time. Bei Mo grew anxious and called out to him again.
"I'm tired. You can go back first."
Ling Qian Chen slightly closed his eyelids and naturally didn't see the unwillingness that flashed across Bei Mo's face.
Why?
He clearly hated Yuan Meng so much. Why was he still reluctant to admit that he would divorce? Clearly... didn't she still have a greater chance?
Here, Bei Mo was lost in wild thoughts, unaware that this time, it wasn't an excuse Ling Qian Chen deliberately made up.
He was really tired.
In the end, no matter how unwilling she was, Bei Mo could only force a smile, tuck the quilt for the sleeping Ling Qian Chen, and then turn around abruptly and leave with a cold face.
Just as Bei Mo closed the door of the ward, she heard a soft snort.
Looking in the direction of the sound, Bei Mo's face turned even colder.
"You're here to laugh at me."
There was no doubt about this, because Chai Yanyu had been waiting outside the door all along, just to see Bei Mo being driven out of the ward.
Fortunately, his cousin really didn't let him down!
The smile in Chai Yanyu's eyes was undisguised. Bei Mo was so angry that her whole body trembled, but considering the occasion, she had to hold back her anger.
"Tsk, Miss Bei has quite a thick skin."
"What do you know! I'm just fighting for my freedom for love. Is that against the law?"
Chai Yanyu wasn't angry either. He shrugged his shoulders slightly, obviously trying hard to hold back his laughter.
"It's not against the law, but it's just cheap."
"You—"
"Isn't it?"
Chai Yanyu raised his eyebrows playfully. Having witnessed Bei Mo's embarrassment with his own eyes, he laughed even more heartily.
"Miss Bei, if it's yours, no one can take it away. If it's not yours, no matter how hard you fight, you won't get anything. So one should have self - awareness when being a person."
These straightforward words almost made Bei Mo vomit blood from anger.
Damn Chai Yanyu!
He had said so much just to stand up for his so - called sister - in - law Yuan Meng, right?
However, so what?
"Chai Yanyu, you don't need to be so sarcastic here. After all, the wife Ling Qian Chen has chosen can never be Yuan Meng."
Chai Yanyu's expression turned cold for a moment, then he smiled again. "My cousin may not be able to accept the identity of his wife immediately, but—"
He deliberately dragged out the tone. When Bei Mo's expression became more and more impatient, he finally took pity on her and spoke.
"Miss Bei, I hope your efforts won't be in vain."
After leaving these words, Chai Yanyu didn't want to stay any longer. He put his hands in his pockets, turned around smartly, and left, leaving behind a Bei Mo who was stamping her feet angrily.
Meanwhile, at the hospital entrance.
Since Ling Qian Chen had regained consciousness, his "loving" wife, Yuan Meng, should have been present.
However, Yuan Meng was currently abroad and couldn't rush back immediately. She didn't want to reveal her identity either, so she could only ask Mu Ran to stand in for her again.
Mu Ran always obeyed Yuan Meng's orders and wanted Yuan Meng to get out of this mess as soon as possible. So when she received the call, she agreed without hesitation.
Deep in thought, the elevator stopped in front of Ling Qian Chen's ward. Mu Ran took a deep breath, then gently placed her right hand on the doorknob and turned it.
Inside the ward, Ling Qian Chen had just hung up the phone from his assistant who was reporting the company's situation. Hearing a soft sound, he looked up.
What came into view was still that pitiful and nervous figure. His handsome sword - shaped eyebrows frowned tightly.
"Why are you here?"
Ling Qian Chen's coldness and resistance made Mu Ran feel annoyed, but for the sake of the next plan, she managed to hold back her anger.
"I heard you woke up, so I came to see you... Husband, are you okay? Do you feel uncomfortable anywhere?"
Hearing the sobbing tone in the concerned words, the coldness in Ling Qian Chen's eyes deepened.
Was this annoying woman going to start crying again?
"I'm fine. You can go back first."
To avoid going crazy, Ling Qian Chen directly issued an order to evict the guest.
Mu Ran clenched her fists.
This damned man usually treated Meng Meng like this!?
"Aren't you leaving yet?" Ling Qian Chen raised his eyebrows and shot a cold glare at Mu Ran. "Or do you have something to say?"
Mu Ran nodded. Her expression changed from the initial tearful look to a look of utter despair.
"Husband, during the time you were in a coma, I've thought things through. So I'm here today to discuss the matter of divorce with you..."
"Thought things through?"
"Yes. If possible, I hope this can be done quickly."
Only in this way would Meng Meng not be disgusted by this scumbag and that bitch!
"Why?"
He was quite surprised that Yuan Meng had brought up this topic on her own initiative. Moreover—
Yuan Meng seemed different today?
At first, he thought he was overthinking, but when Yuan Meng brought up this matter and with her drifting eyes at the moment, he had a suspicion in mind.
"Still struggling with writer's block lately?"
Mu Ran was stunned.
What was this scumbag up to? Why was he suddenly showing concern?
Surprised as she was, Mu Ran, who didn't know much about the real Yuan Meng, could only bite the bullet and come up with an excuse to fudge it.
It was this soft answer that made Ling Qian Chen's doubts rise even more.
Mu Ran was extremely nervous. Fortunately, Ling Qian Chen didn't make things difficult for her anymore. He said that he would plan it well and told her to just wait for the result.
Since he had said so, Mu Ran, who was afraid of revealing her identity, quickly got up and left this suffocating place.
On the other side.
Yuan Meng, who was bored, was playing with the green potted plant beside her. Suddenly, the screen of the phone on the table lit up.
Out of the corner of her eye, she saw it. The lazy look on her face disappeared instantly. Her eyes widened and she quickly sat up straight.
"No way..."
It was a new text message on the phone, and the sender was Mu Ran, who had realized that she was suspected.
Mu Ran briefly explained the situation and finally asked Yuan Meng to return as soon as possible, lest the matter be exposed again and they would be in a disadvantageous position.
After learning about this, Yuan Meng couldn't stay still for a moment. She rushed out of the room in a hurry.
Just as she stepped out of the room, she saw Baron coming. Nervous as she was, she secretly heaved a sigh of relief.
"Mr. Baron, you came just in time. I have something to discuss with you."
Baron had come to see if Yuan Meng was used to the new environment. But seeing Yuan Meng's restless look, the smile on his face froze for a moment.
"Miss Sophia, is something wrong?"
"Yes. There's an urgent matter in China that I need to handle personally, so I have to go back tomorrow."
"So soon? Then..."
"Don't worry. I won't abandon the treatment of your father."
"Then when do you think it's appropriate?"
Yuan Meng thought for a while and said, "Just now."
Since she had decided to return to China early tomorrow morning, she had to fulfill what she had promised.
