Two-faced: Doting Husband & Shameless Wife - Chapter 77

The next morning, Ling Yue saw the hospital lobby filled with reporters who knew where Xi Jian’s whereabouts. They tried to find out about Xi Jian’s condition. The King Empire legal team hadn’t received any instructions from their superiors, so they remained silent. Ling Yue looked for another way to avoiding the reporters.

The whole pair of eyes were directed at her when Ling Yue entered the VIP hospital room.

“Yueyue!”

Ling Feng rushed towards her and hugged his little sister. Ling Yue was astonished.

“Feng ge …” He watched Ling Yue from head to toe, making sure his sister hadn’t been scratched in the slightest. “Are you okay?”

Ling Yue frowned then nodded. “Yes. Did something happen?” She leaned over and looked behind Ling Feng’s body. Ling Yue just realized that Ling Feng was present in his full military uniform, along with two people who were Ling Yue guessed as Ling Feng’s comrades because they also wore military uniforms. Bai Xu stood next to Xi Jian. Ling Huang was also there. There were two other people that Ling Yue never met before. But they all except her seemed to know each other. “Am I disturbing? I can come back later.” Ling Yue felt the atmosphere was too heavy. Even Ling Huang who usually smiled brightly only nodded when their eyes met.

“No need. They will all leave.” Xi Jian’s voice came across the room.

Ling Yue glanced at Ling Feng and Xi Jian. She was surprised to find Xi Jian’s hand infused, as far as he remembered last night Xi Jian didn’t wear anything in his left hand.

‘Is his condition worsened?’

Ling Yue glanced at Ling Huang. Last night his brother told her to go home and not say anything. Ling Huang seemed to be able to read Ling Yue’s mind. He sighed. “He had a high fever last night. It might have been a side effect of the accident, so I give him injection and IV drips.”

“Back to office.” Xi Jian who looked tired ordered Bai Xu. He then looked at the other two people alternately. “Return to base and continue what I asked for.”

“Yes, Sir.”

“Okay, boss.” the two strangers then greeted Ling Yue. “Nice to meet you, Miss Ling.”

“You’re really prettier than a photo.”

Ling Feng patted his stomach hard. “Cut your craps, Zou Ci.” Zou Ci chuckles. The man was almost as tall as Ling Feng, his face was friendly, his eyes were narrow but his body was rather stocky.

“Always as annoying as usual Ling Feng.” Zou Ci patted Ling Feng back harder.

“You must have had a hard days around men like them, Miss.” the other man, though he looked scary, tried to be friendly to her. “By the way, my name is Gan Ji.”

“And I’m Zou Ci.”

Bai Xu saw them greet Ling Yue without caring about the fierce gaze of the young master and Ling Feng.

They quickly excused themselves with wide laughter after kissing Ling Yue’s knuckles.

“Those fools!” Ling Feng clenched his fists in the direction they were leaving.

Bai Xu excused himself without imitating his predecessor. He still loves his head.

Xi Jian with an annoyed face looked at the back of his cheeky fellow. Just because he couldn’t stand up, they play him off the whim. Wait till he got better, Xi Jian would love to sweep the big smile on their faces.

After that, Ling Huang got an emergency call. He kissed Ling Yue’s forehead and also said goodbye.

Ling Feng looked at Ling Yue. “For the time being, I want you to accompany that person everywhere.” although he was not willing to make Ling Yue close to his friend, there was no better way to monitor where this little sister had gone than on Xi Jian’s side before everything had become clear. This time his sister was used as bait, who knows what will happen later.

Ling Yue pursed her lips. “Why should I stick to him?”

“Just do it.” he said firmly. “I’ll do the rest. Let’s go.”

The two uniformed military men bid farewell to Xi Jian and nod politely at Ling Yue before following Ling Feng.

The room that had many people suddenly leaving only the two of them. Ling Yue approached Xi Jian and opened the package she was carrying.

“Are you okay?” she asked

His gazes full of disdain.

“What?” she frowned.

“You are an easy person.”

Ling Yue glared. She was itching to pour soup on his head. “What do you mean?”

“How can you let strangers touch you carelessly?”

“Carelessly?” She asked in protest.

Xi Jian took Ling Yue’s hand using his infused hand. He rubbed the knuckles of Ling Yue, then rubbed her forehead. Ling Yue only stared weirdly with his absurd behavior.

“Did you take the wrong medicine?” Ling Yue almost brushed aside his hands roughly, unfortunately she remembered Xi Jian’s hand being pierced by a needle.

She felt a tingle begin to appear in her heart the longer Xi Jian held her.
