But after so many years of effort, she even beca shaless, resorting to relentless pestering, yet in the end, she gained nothing.
She knew this man before Ning Yan’er did, but Xi Mohan chose to be with Ning Yan’er instead.
From a young age, Ning Wan just didn’t get along with Ning Yan’er. It wasn’t that she disliked Ning Yan’er, but that Ning Yan’er always troubled her and, after bullying her, would act innocent, as if she wasn’t the one who had done anything.
When Ning Wan was little, she was far too naive and didn’t realize she was being sched against by Ning Yan’er. Only after she grew up and beca wiser did she slowly co to understand that Ning Yan’er truly didn’t want her, Ning Wan, to be part of the Ning Family.
She guessed if murder was not illegal, Ning Yan’er would have gotten rid of her long ago.
"Ning Wan." Xi Mohan looked at the delicate face in front of him. Even though her complexion wasn’t great, it still couldn’t hide her beauty. Her facial features were captivating. After calling out her na with his deep voice, he didn’t say anything else.
It was as if he really just wanted to call her na and nothing more.
Upon hearing Xi Mohan call her na, Ning Wan instantly bristled like a cat whose fur had exploded suddenly. Her whole body tensed up, and she started to struggle, "Xi Mohan, what on earth do you want? Let go, I want to get up, get away from ..."
The images of being tornted by this man that night exploded in her mind. From the living room to the bathroom, then from the bathroom to the balcony, on the bed... on the floor... by the window... traces of their love-making were everywhere, like an indelible scar, brutally branded onto her body.
Xi Mohan didn’t move, still restraining Ning Wan, looking completely unyielding.
The two of them had been in this deadlock for over ten minutes, which finally ended when Ning Wan urgently needed to use the restroom.
Inside the restroom, Ning Wan sat on the toilet, her face looking terrible. She was very clear that the man was standing by the restroom door waiting for her.
Dammit, she was really unlucky, to be found by this man after just two days in the hospital.
Thinking of the child she had lost, Ning Wan felt an even deeper agony. She placed her hand on her flat belly, no longer able to feel any sign of life inside.
This child, in the end, had no fate with her.
"Ning Wan, I’m giving you five minutes. If you don’t co out, I’m coming in," Xi Mohan was clearly getting impatient outside, knocked on the door, and coldly reminded her.
Ning Wan’s expression chilled, but she still stood up at once, pulled up her pants, washed her hands, and then went straight to the door and opened it.
Sure enough, at this mont, Xi Mohan was standing at the door waiting for her. The man’s tall and upright figure leaned against the wall, with a cigarette in his hand, evidently halfway through smoking it.
Smoking at the restroom door, he really had so nerve.
But when she thought that it seed like n often snuck off to smoke on their phones, Ning Wan felt that perhaps she was thinking too much.
Seeing Ning Wan co out, Xi Mohan imdiately put out the cigarette in his hand. His gaze fell on Ning Wan, and his deep voice, a bit more hoarse than before, asked, "Are you hungry now? I can have so food brought over for you."
Without another look at him, Ning Wan withdrew her gaze and coldly refused, "No need."
Xi Mohan humd indifferently and reached out to take her small hand, leading her towards the hospital bed, "Get so more sleep, it’s not yet dawn."
Seeing Xi Mohan’s unyielding deanor, Ning Wan felt an overpowering sense of weakness in her body, almost gritting her teeth as she questioned, "Xi Mohan, what exactly do you want? I don’t want to see you, can’t you understand that?"
The last person she wanted to see right now was this man.
She knew that visiting hours were already over, and that man shouldn’t be here, but she was also very clear that this hospital itself belonged to Xi Group, and Xi Mohan, as the behind-the-scenes owner of the hospital, regarded such regulations as re décor.
Yet, Ning Wan couldn’t help but directly throw sarcasm, "President Xi, don’t you know? Visiting hours are over. You should be in Ning Yan’er’s room, on her bed, not here."
Xi Mohan still didn’t speak, letting Ning Wan say whatever she wanted.
...............
The next day, when Song Qiao arrived at the hospital, she saw Ning Wan lying on the hospital bed with a very displeased look, her face full of discontent.
In her hand, she carried freshly prepared soup, which she had stewed for Wanwan for several hours, trendously nutritious for the body.
She made a noise closing the door when she ca in, but Ning Wan seed as if she didn’t hear it, still staring at the white bedsheets in a daze, completely unaware that Song Qiao had arrived.
Song Qiao put down the thermos, raised her eyebrows at Ning Wan who lay there, and after quite a while, finally confird that she really didn’t know Song Qiao was there, and let out a snicker before saying, "Ning Wan, what are you thinking about?"
Only then did Ning Wan slowly co back to her senses, saw Song Qiao, pulled the corners of her mouth, and spoke dispiritedly, "Qiaoqiao, you’re here?"
Her face didn’t look good, obviously, she hadn’t slept well.
Indeed, she hadn’t slept well last night. With that man here, she was unable to sleep properly, which was incredibly vexing.
Most importantly, that man remained utterly indifferent, which gave her the urge to punch soone, but rembering that she couldn’t beat him, she suppressed this inner impulse.
When Song Qiao opened the thermos, the fragrant sll of the soup filled the hospital room, arousing a strong appetite.
She placed the lid on the table, and seeing Ning Wan looking strange, Song Qiao tried to cheer her up by continuing, "Tell , were you stealing last night in my absence? I’ve been here so long, if I hadn’t called out to you, you probably wouldn’t have known I arrived. That hurts my feelings."
Ning Wan, "..." Is it that exaggerated?
Song Qiao didn’t continue to tease her but found a ceramic bowl and poured a bowl of soup for her, then handed it to her, saying, "This is the soup I got up early to make just for you. I stewed it for several hours, you must finish it today."
Ning Wan took the bowl and glanced at the goji berries in the soup, her eyebrows lifting slightly as she asked, "Did you make this to nourish my blood?"
Song Qiao found another spoon, which hadn’t been used for a while, and replied, "What do you think?"
With that, she stood up and headed to the washroom to wash the spoon.
However, upon reaching the washroom and seeing a set of clothes in the basin, she frowned slightly, paused, then turned back to Ning Wan and asked bluntly, "Wanwan, whose clothes are these in the washroom?"
The clothes looked familiar, as if she had seen soone wearing them, but for the mont, she couldn’t recall who.
Ning Wan’s hand holding the bowl paused as she belatedly realized that the clothes were from Xi Mohan, who stubbornly took a shower here last night, her expression darkening, but she didn’t hide it from Song Qiao and straightforwardly said, "Xi Mohan’s."
Song Qiao, "..." Damn, that man actually showered here?
Song Qiao didn’t bother washing the spoon anymore and directly went over to Ning Wan, looking at her clearly still dejected face, and asked, "Wanwan, what’s actually going on here?"
