"A Decade of Silent Love—Exposed by the Bullet Screens"
Chapter 13
Shi Ning managed an awkward but polite smile. "Well, you're here." Her gaze dropped to the floor, fixating on the tile grout, and a whimsical thought crossed her mind: it would be rather nice to shrink down and disappear into these tiny crevices.
The nurse, who had just experienced the whirlwind of a new crush and its swift demise, finished changing Shi Guoqiang's IV and administering his medication. She then left the ward, her shoulders slumped in evident heartbreak, leaving an uncomfortable silence in her wake.
"Old Zhao," Shi Guoqiang whispered to his butler, "there should be no crime in the law for disrespecting the wishes of men and women, right?"
Butler Zhao reassured him, "No, don't worry."
Shi Ning and Qin Heye remained perched on the sofa, a palpable distance between them—enough for a third person to comfortably sit.
Butler Zhao, attempting to break the ice, poured a glass of water and offered it to Qin Heye. [Read More Here]
"Sir, don't be so reserved. You are the first male... husband that the young lady brought back."
Shi Ning shot Butler Zhao a speechless look. "Uncle Zhao, do I have any female husbands?" she retorted, exasperated. "Do I have one, two, three, or four husbands? As for the remaining husbands who haven't appeared yet, would you like me to have them delivered to my home?"
Butler Zhao raised a hand to cover his face, then leaned in, whispering conspiratorially to Shi Ning, "You are going to get a divorce, so you will definitely have two, three, or four husbands in the future."
Qin Heye's eyes, heavy with meaning, flickered towards them. It was clear he'd heard every word.
Shi Ning gave Butler Zhao another exasperated glance. "Are you whispering? You might as well use a megaphone."
Butler Zhao, looking chagrined, retreated to the side, busying himself with pouring water and peeling fruit.
Qin Heye finally raised his eyes to Shi Ning, then addressed Shi Guoqiang with feigned concern. "Why is father-in-law feeling unwell suddenly ?"
Shi Guoqiang, ever one to downplay his ailments, replied, "Just feeling anxious and short of breath, a little hypoglycemic, nothing serious."
"The master fainted after seeing the divorce agreement," Butler Zhao interjected, undermining his boss's stoicism.
Shi Guoqiang glared at Butler Zhao, who, with an innocent shrug, clasped his hands behind his back.
Shi Ning's gaze drifted to Qin Heye. He held the water glass in one hand, his fingers long, slender, and powerful, his movements so elegant and noble that even a simple glass seemed to elevate in stature. His ruggedly handsome features drew her in for a second look.
[The villain is really pretending. His face is red and his heart is beating when his wife looks at him. He even holds the cup tightly and pretends to lower his head to drink water, but his lips don’t even touch the cup.]
[Does he want to drink water? He wants to drink his wife’s water. Only his wife’s water can quench his thirst!]
[What water? Where’s the water?]
Shi Ning's face flushed at the suggestive comments from the online "big yellow girl" (a colloquial term for someone interested in explicit content).[Read More Here]
She glanced up at Qin Heye, whose thin lips were tightly pressed, his ears a tell-tale red. Yet, his eyes remained impassive, as if he were an inanimate object, completely unaware of the barrage's commentary.
Forget it, she thought, this is a total pretender! A big, stuffy flirt!
Dismissing him for the moment, Shi Ning turned to Shi Guoqiang, intending to clarify the divorce situation. However, as she turned, she saw both Shi Guoqiang and Butler Zhao, necks craned like gossiping giraffes, their faces etched with ambiguous, uncle-like smiles as they stared at the two of them.
Shi Ning sighed. This is going to be a long explanation.
Nevertheless, she needed to address the divorce to prevent the tragic plot from unfolding. "Dad," she began, her voice firm, "the divorce agreement is real, but now I've changed my mind and I really don't want to divorce Qin Heye." As she spoke, she moved closer to Qin Heye, settling beside him on the sofa and taking his arm. "We have a good relationship as husband and wife, and don't want to divorce anymore."
The instant Shi Ning's body pressed against Qin Heye's, he stiffened. He glanced down at her arm wrapped around his, the soft flesh indenting against his bicep. Taking a long gulp of water, he suppressed a surge of emotion before looking up at Shi Guoqiang, his voice surprisingly gentle.
"Don't worry, father-in-law, Ningning and I will not get divorced." He then turned his head to Shi Ning, his gaze intense. "Right, wife?"
Shi Ning looked up to see the barrage text, now glowing an alarming yellow!
[The big villain is scheming, taking the opportunity to call his wife twice more, the person who calls her is yellow.]
[Dad and housekeeper Zhao, move quickly, leave the ward to our big villain and female supporting role!]
