Yan Xi didn't notice that Fu Yan Ting was following her. When they arrived at the hospital, Yan Xi went to visit Yan Yi.
However, the doctor told Yan Xi that Yan Yi had been recovering well recently, and if Yan Xi were to see him, it would be detrimental if reporters found out about Yan Yi's existence and affected his recovery. It would not be worth the risk.
Although Yan Xi really wanted to see her brother, the doctor's words made sense. Yan Xi was still in the spotlight, and she couldn't implicate Yan Yi.
After careful consideration, Yan Xi decided to follow the doctor's advice.
But Yan Xi still missed her brother very much.
She looked at the doctor and asked softly, "Doctor, can I secretly peek at Yi Yi from outside his room? I promise I won't go in and disturb him; I'll just take a look and leave."
The doctor hesitated for a moment, then compromised.
Nodding, he said, "Alright, but not for too long."
Yan Xi nodded, then walked to Yan Yi's room and looked in. She saw that Yan Yi was in good spirits and was not affected by her scandal at all. Yan Xi knew that everything the doctor had said was true and that he hadn't lied to her.
She felt relieved. Yan Xi thanked the doctor and was about to leave the hospital. After only a few steps, she saw Shi Kai Nan walking towards her from a distance.
Yan Xi frowned. She didn't have a good impression of Shi Kai Nan, but she didn't expect to be so fated to meet him, encountering him repeatedly, and each time at the hospital.
Shi Kai Nan smiled and said, "We really are fated to meet at the hospital every time."
Yan Xi gave an awkward smile and remained silent.
Shi Kai Nan was not discouraged and asked again, "Xi Xi, why are you at the hospital? Is your leg inflamed? I know a very authoritative doctor who can clean your wound for you."
Yan Xi looked at Shi Kai Nan and said earnestly, "Mr. Shi, we are not close. In the future, please call me by my full name. It's easy to cause misunderstandings if you address me this way."
"Are you afraid of others misunderstanding, or are you afraid of Fu Yan Ting misunderstanding?"
Shi Kai Nan pressed on.
Yan Xi didn't respond and lowered her head, ignoring Shi Kai Nan.
Shi Kai Nan shrugged helplessly. Since Yan Xi had said that, Shi Kai Nan didn't press further.
He changed the subject.
His gaze fixed on Yan Xi's leg, he was silent for a moment, then asked, "Is your leg feeling better?"
Before Yan Xi could answer, a cold voice came from behind.
"My wife's health is not something Mr. Shi needs to worry about."
Hearing this voice, Yan Xi's expression changed drastically. She turned around and saw Fu Yan Ting standing there, looking at her with cold and distant eyes.
Fu Yan Ting was wearing a gray woolen sweater and slim-fitting pants, his hands in his pockets. He leaned against the wall, exuding an aura of hostility.
Shi Kai Nan was stunned, seemingly not expecting to see Fu Yan Ting here.
Fu Yan Ting had a strong aversion to hospitals. Ever since he was kidnapped at the age of five and developed a residual trauma, he had never been to a hospital again.
Even when he had an accident a year ago and became a vegetative state, he was recuperated at home, with a private doctor attending to his physical examinations.
But now, for Yan Xi, Fu Yan Ting was willing to put himself through such discomfort and personally come to the hospital.
It was hard to believe that Fu Yan Ting had no feelings for Yan Xi.
Shi Kai Nan felt that his sister was not worth it.
Shi Wen Wen had been with Fu Yan Ting for so many years, yet she was not as important as Yan Xi had been with him for a few months.
It was said that a man's love for a woman could be seen in subtle details. Shi Kai Nan could tell that Fu Yan Ting truly loved Yan Xi.
However, this was also Fu Yan Ting's weakness.
If, one day, he found himself at odds with Fu Yan Ting, Yan Xi would be a very useful pawn.
Shi Kai Nan's expression remained unchanged, and Yan Xi was unaware of his thoughts.
However, Fu Yan Ting saw through Shi Kai Nan's little scheme.
"Since Mr. Fu is here, I won't disturb you two as a couple. I'll take my leave."
Shi Kai Nan greeted Yan Xi gentlemanly and then left.
After Shi Kai Nan left, Fu Yan Ting narrowed his eyes and scrutinized Yan Xi, saying in a dark tone, "Yan Xi, you're quite something. Cheating on me even at the hospital."
"Fu Yan Ting, whether you believe it or not, it's not what you think."
This was a public place, and Yan Xi didn't want to be too embarrassed or disturb other patients' rest. Therefore, even though Fu Yan Ting's words made her feel uncomfortable, Yan Xi still suppressed her emotions and patiently explained.
"It's not what I think? You're flirting in front of me, and you're telling me it's not what I think? Yan Xi, don't think that just because Grandma supports you, you can do whatever you want."
"Fu Yan Ting, are you sick? I already told you, it's not what you think. I have absolutely no relationship with Shi Kai Nan."
Fu Yan Ting glanced at Yan Xi indifferently, then let out a cold laugh and turned to leave.
As Yan Xi turned to leave, a figure quickly hid in the distance.
Yan Xi was already exhausted, both physically and mentally, and didn't want to argue with Fu Yan Ting.
Yan Xi turned and left.
This time, Fu Yan Ting did not chase after her to interrogate her.
After Yan Xi left, Yan Xiao appeared from who knows where and stood in front of Fu Yan Ting, saying softly, "Brother-in-law, my sister is fickle. She married you back then simply because you were the heir of the Fu family. In fact, my sister has someone she loves in her heart. She's with you only for your wealth."
Fu Yan Ting looked at Yan Xiao coldly, too lazy to speak to her. However, Yan Xiao didn't notice Fu Yan Ting's impatience.
Yan Xiao quickly followed, summoning her courage to confess to Fu Yan Ting.
"Brother-in-law, I am the one who loves you the most. If Yan Xi hadn't schemed against me, it would have been me marrying you. At that time, she heard you had become a vegetative state and were on the brink of death. She also knew that I was engaged to you, so she drugged me and, while I wasn't paying attention, replaced me and married you."
Fu Yan Ting suddenly stopped and turned to look at Yan Xiao, saying mockingly, "Even without Yan Xi, I would never marry you."
After speaking, Fu Yan Ting left without looking back.
Yan Xiao was unwilling. Such an excellent man was clearly her husband.
She didn't know what stroke of luck Yan Xi had to awaken Fu Yan Ting after marrying him.
Yan Xiao vowed to take back what belonged to her.
Yan Xiao quickly chased after him. She was intimidated by Fu Yan Ting's aura again and dared not get too close. She chased him, maintaining a few steps distance from Fu Yan Ting, and then said, "Brother-in-law, I am the one who loves you most in this world. I told you, Yan Xi didn't genuinely want to marry you; she married you with a hidden agenda."
