Chapter 104 Xie Zhiyan: What do you mean by remarrying your childhood sweetheart?
Reading Settings
After all, Xie Zhiyan was still in the hospital, and he had already woken up, so it was impossible to keep the news from him.
Even if Xie Wanying is just putting on a show, she won't sit idly by and wait for her doom.
Xie Zhiyan didn't know why Shu Ying's thoughts jumped so much, but his relationship with Xie Wanying was indeed not very deep.
From the moment he had memories, Xie Wanying had been trying every means to take away everything he liked.
Fortunately, Xie Zhiyan didn't have much desire for material things, and his parents treated everyone equally.
The gender difference between the two people meant that there was no conflict between them.
Later, Xie Zhiyan joined the army. His monthly income was considerable and his salary was relatively stable. Most of the money from his parents was used to subsidize Xie Wanying, who loved to ask her parents for money.
Since they were all children of the same parents, Xie Zhiyan never held these matters against him.
But now that Shu Ying has brought these things up again, he can't help but wonder if Xie Wanying really seems to be acting strangely.
If she, as the older sister, wishes her younger brother were dead, then such a person would always be a potential threat in the family.
Once the seed of doubt is planted in one's mind, it will take root and sprout wildly. Shu Ying saw through his thoughts and gently patted his hand.
"Don't keep thinking about this. Xie Wan is such a shrewd person. What if she notices something on your face? Wouldn't we be alerting her?"
As she spoke, she relaxed completely, feeling incredibly refreshed as if nothing was weighing on her mind.
The bed next to her was empty, so Shu Ying simply lay down on it.
"I have to mention that there are advantages to having a high-ranking government position like yours. Even the wards are kept so private. When you had your surgery, they said that the hospital beds were in short supply, but then they arranged a private room for you. Luckily, you worked hard enough, otherwise, I was afraid that someone might try to harm you in a ward with so many patients."
My first concern is that Xie Wanying might be up to no good.
Shu Ying turned off the light in the ward, and the room went dark instantly. She could even hear her own breathing. Using the moonlight outside, Shu Ying groped her way to the ward next door and lay down.
The distance between her and Xie Zhiyan's hospital beds was less than a meter, and their eyes could meet.
After being exhausted for so long, Shu Ying finally got her head on the pillow and was already feeling drowsy.
Xie Zhiyan gave a soft "hmm": "The security of such rooms is relatively high. Leaders in the unit usually stay in such wards, mainly because they are worried that someone might be threatened when seriously injured. The enemy is cunning and is best at taking advantage of weaknesses, so security in all aspects must be guaranteed."
Most of the time, Xie Zhiyan stays in a regular ward in the hospital. Perhaps the hospital specially arranged a private ward for him this time because they thought someone would accompany him since a family member was coming.
However, there are not many such wards in the entire hospital; there are only six in total.
"That's pretty good."
People always have to adapt to their environment. Compared to the family members who have to sleep on the floor in the wards of ordinary wards, Shu Ying is already very grateful.
She turned to the side, one hand under her head, facing Xie Zhiyan. Moonlight streamed in from outside, and Xie Zhiyan was momentarily flustered when he looked at Shu Ying's fair and beautiful face.
His thoughts were drawn back to the night of his wedding.
He knew that Shu Ying was timid, and he had tried to restrain himself from the beginning, but the flickering red candles and Shu Ying's light makeup seemed to have a fatal attraction.
Driven by the alcohol, he couldn't help but kiss her face. At first, it was just her cheek, but remembering that they were already husband and wife, Xie Zhiyan was unwilling to stop there.
Shu Ying was unaware of her allure; he was already distracted just by hearing her breathing.
His mind was racing, and he wasn't sleepy at all.
Then she remembered the words she had heard before she regained consciousness. It seemed that Shu Ying had said she was going to remarry with her child. She also vaguely heard Jiang Yunzhou's name. Her heart tightened.
She's already come to him with the child; she doesn't look like she wants a divorce at all.
She was determined to live a good life, and Xie Zhiyan was too lazy to hide it anymore.
He turned slightly towards Shu Ying, his gaze fixed intently on her beautiful face.
"I remember when I woke up you seemed to say you wanted to remarry and that you wanted the child to call someone else 'Dad.' Can I ask what you meant by that?"
Shu Ying took a deep breath and almost choked. She sat up abruptly in bed and frantically threw a set of punches at the air.
Seeing that she seemed to have choked on her own, Xie Zhiyan instinctively wanted to go over and comfort her, but even the slightest movement caused her to feel intense pain.
Before Xie Zhiyan could react, Shu Ying had already sat up from the bed next door.
Her expression was very serious as she stared intently at Xie Zhiyan, her hands clasped tightly together.
"I didn't expect you to hear what I said. Those were just things I said out of spite, not from the bottom of my heart. Jiang Yunzhou went abroad and I haven't heard from him since. Actually, we've been friends since we were little. We're just friends, nothing more."
She was naturally pretty, and as a child she was often the target of pranks by some little boys.
Although she was furious, she couldn't fight back against those people banding together. In most cases like this, it was Jiang Yunzhou who came out to help her out.
Over time, their relationship grew better and better.
"Although we are very familiar with each other and our elders know each other well, I have never thought about developing any other kind of relationship. Jiang Yunzhou is a very good person, but whether in terms of personality or other aspects, he is not my ideal partner."
Many people had misunderstood her relationship with Jiang Yunzhou in the past, and Shu Ying had to explain every time. After a while, she got tired of explaining and simply stopped talking.
Anyway, those people have mouths to talk about, and no matter what she says, they won't believe her.
They always felt that the two of them were a perfect match, a match made in heaven. In fact, Shu Ying was also troubled by this matter. However, after she went abroad to study, she heard that Jiang Yunzhou had also gone abroad.
The two lost contact after that.
"In short, please don't misunderstand our relationship. Our relationship is as pure as it gets."
As Shu Ying spoke, she almost got goosebumps all over her body.
She hasn't responded to such matters for many years.
However, Xie Zhiyan was different from ordinary people; the two of them were husband and wife.
There should absolutely be no third party between husband and wife, even if the relationship is virtual.
Shu Ying clearly understands that marital relationships also require nurturing.
