Chapter 1808 - 1885: Don’t Even Think About Fooling Me

Sister Guo’s expression seemed a bit troubled. She clearly had a better relationship with Sheng Ning and definitely didn’t want to keep anything from her.

"They’re all minor issues, not very serious, so there’s no need to make her worry," Xu Qigang said casually, as if old wounds meant nothing to him.

"Besides, I don’t want to use this to threaten her, do you understand what I mean?" He spoke more than usual.

"Alright then!" Sister Guo left disheartened, suddenly finding her way blocked. She looked up to see it was Sheng Ning, followed by Su Huai’an and Chen Huaying.

It turned out she was about to leave, but Chen Huaying and Su Huai’an hadn’t seen the person yet, insisting on meeting them, so she had to come back.

This led her to overhear the conversation just now.

Sheng Ning tried to twitch her mouth into a sneer, but she couldn’t manage it.

"Sister Guo, how could you do this?" Chen Huaying angrily pointed a finger, "How could you be so biased?"

"Yingying, stop it." They were still standing outside Xu Qigang’s hospital room, and whatever was said, he would definitely hear it from inside.

Chen Huaying, who was boosted with confidence a moment ago, turned silent like Little Hai who did something wrong when Su Huai’an called her Yingying.

Inside the room, Xu Qigang had already heard the commotion outside when Chen Huaying spoke, grabbed his gun, and got off the hospital bed to head to the door.

And so, they came face to face.

"...President Xu, why are you carrying a weapon while hospitalized?"

Chen Huaying looked full of admiration.

"You all talk it out, I have something else to do." Caught in the middle not knowing whom to help, Sister Guo took the chance to slip away.

Su Huai’an was also smart and casually found a reason to drag Chen Huaying away. In the end, only Xu Qigang and Sheng Ning were left, standing face-to-face in an awkward atmosphere.

For a moment, neither of them knew what to say.

Sheng Ning thought, indeed, the silent treatment was the most damaging way to a relationship; even the strongest emotions could be worn down by indifference and distance.

Xu Qigang dared not look at her, awkwardly asking, "Do you want to come in and sit?"

Sheng Ning didn’t answer, directly bypassing him and walking into the room, sitting with arms crossed in the chair by the hospital bed.

Her actions left Xu Qigang surprised and pleased, unable to suppress a silly grin, standing dumbly in the room.

"Get back in bed," she said coldly, chin raised.

"Huh?" Someone obviously misunderstood, his handsome face slowly turning red.

"Being a patient, if you don’t rest in bed, are you trying to earn my pity?" She was so angry she nearly couldn’t control the fury in her heart, truly wanting to slap him a few times.

"You’re really careless. I haven’t even been away for long, and you’re already having old injuries acting up. If we really get divorced, who knows how you’d ruin yourself!"

The more she thought about it, the angrier she got.

"Oh, oh..." Xu Qigang swiftly got back into bed, even proactively covered himself with the blanket, sitting obediently like a good child.

"Speak honestly, don’t try to lie to me."

"Xiao Ning, I’d never lie to you, you know that."

Sheng Ning coldly chuckled, "Ha... I really didn’t know."

Xu Qigang pursed his lips, his gaze lingering on her, making her uncomfortable, "Xiao Ning, I want to tell you about my plan." He was actually best at changing topics, knowing how to divert others’ attention.

But he had never used this on Xiao Ning.

"Go ahead, I’m all ears."

"Do you still want to divorce me now?"

Xu Qigang asked bluntly; her breath hitched, pausing for several seconds before countering, "Why? You’ve agreed?"
