Ru Hui Ya had gotten the doctors to check on Shen Yu Ning, and they told her that she was just exhausted. They said that it could be because she was consistently in a state of being frightened before, so her body became exhausted over time.
Shen Yu Ning felt that it sounded right because, at the start, she was consistently in a state of fear. She feared that others would find out about her pretending to be Mo Xi, so she thought that it was entirely possible that she became exhausted gradually. Hence, she decided just to sleep more while Zhou Dong and the others do their work since Ru Hui Ya had told her that all she had to do was pretend to be Mo Xi.
"Mm." Jing Mo Chen answered and went over to Shen Yu Ning.
"How are you feeling?" Jing Mo Chen asked with "care" in his voice.
"You really came?"
"Mm."
"I missed you a lot... I missed you so much that I started to hallucinate... Right now, I just feel drained and sleepy all the time…"
Ru Hui Ya took a cup of warm water and pa.s.sed it to Shen Yu Ning while she answered, "The doctors said that sister-in-law is exhausted most likely because she has been in a state of fear at that time… However, she would get better over time when she gets more rest."
Shen Yu Ning took the cup and drank the water.
"Then, you should rest more. You have to get well soon, alright?" Jing Mo Chen forced himself to touch Shen Yu Ning"s forehead so as to make it look like he loved the person in front of him deeply.
Shen Yu Ning was thrilled when Jing Mo Chen touched her forehead, so she nodded happily and closed her eyes.
Shen Yu Ning fell asleep very quickly, and Ru Hui Ya tucked her into the bed.
"Sister-in-law must have suffered a lot while she was in the house and on the island. If not, she wouldn"t be so exhausted… She suffered a lot because of you, and you suffered a lot for her. Now that I think about it, I feel that maybe you two are not meant to be together. You two are bringing harm to each other."
"The only thing that matters is that Little Xi loves me, and I love Little Xi. Most importantly, we are not suffering. We are very happy that we have one another. Also, both of us didn"t suffer because of one another. We suffered because of the bad guys out there. Once every one of them is caught, then we wouldn"t have to face all these anymore."
Ru Hui Ya chuckled once again and clenched her fist tightly behind her back, "Can"t stand you. Oh right, I heard that sister-in-law"s brother is having a compet.i.tion today. Would her brother blame her for not going?"
"No. He wouldn"t blame her. Although he wishes that Little Xi is there with him, he knew that it would be very difficult for her to be there for him. So, he would never blame her for that."
"That"s true… It is such a pity that sister-in-law couldn"t watch the compet.i.tion. Right now, the only few things that she does are eat, sleep, eat, bathe, sleep, and more sleep."
"No matter what Little Xi does, I would always support her, protect her and dote on her."
"Why can"t I meet such a good man like you? Where am I going to find such a loving man like you? And how am I supposed to find someone like you? Do you have any suggestions?"
"I don"t know. You will have to think about the reasons why you hadn"t meet any man that loves you."
"How do you know that I hadn"t met any man that loves me? Did you place close attention to me?"
"I don"t have to place close attention to you to know that. You don"t look like you love anyone except yourself."
"Everyone should learn to love themselves first. Anyway, I do have men that love me. However, I rejected them all."
"That"s why you are single."
"Aren"t you curious as to why I rejected those guys that liked me?"
"No. You are not Little Xi, so there is no reason for me to be interested in your love life."
Ru Hui Ya laughed once again, but her fingers clenched even more tightly that her nails dug into her palm. Her palm started to bleed, but she doesn"t feel any pain in her hand. The only thing that she felt was anger.
"Alright. Alright. I shall not disturb you guys any further. Your parents should be coming today, so I will give you guys some family time."
Ru Hui Ya turned around to leave and went back to her office.
At Ru Hui Ya"s office.
Ru Hui Ya looked at herself in the mirror, and her hands touched the mirror before she clenched into a tight fist again.
Ru Hui Ya slammed her fist onto the basin, and blood flowed out from her wounds.
"Why don"t you ever see me?! Why?!"
"What"s so good about her?!"
"I have known you for so long! Longer than she knew you!"
"Why do you love her so much?!"
Tears rolled down Ru Hui Ya"s anger-filled eyes.
The scene where Jing Mo Chen looked at Princess Luana"s face flashed across Ru Hui Ya"s mind.
"Seems like you have another person in your heart as well…"
"But…"
"Why isn"t the person me?!"
"Why did you fall another person that"s not me?!"
"Why…"
Ru Hui Ya continued to clench her fist tightly for a long while before she calmed down and cleaned up herself.
At Shen Yu Ning"s wardroom.
"Little Xi, mom made some chicken porridge for you today."
Yang Shu Ling and Jing Cang came into the wardroom with a thermos flask.
"Oh, Mo Chen, why are you here at this timing?"
"Aren"t you supposed to be at work?"
