This beautiful woman was Su Muxian, whose beauty was so ethereal it seemed to possess immortal energy.
She looked quite charming at the moment, with two fellow patients following behind her. Upon seeing Su Muxian, they seemed to recognize a friend and voluntarily left.
"Young Master Ouyang, will you still visit me?"
Ye Tiancheng had expected Su Muxian to come and speak to him immediately, but he was greatly disappointed. Ouyang Xinuo and Su Muxian appeared to be on very good terms, conversing intimately.
Ouyang Xinuo had even attacked him just a few days ago, and the blood had been real. Su Muxian shouldn't have forgotten so quickly. Had she fallen under some evil spell?
Ye Tiancheng felt both fear and jealousy. He quickly went over and pulled Su Muxian aside, "What's wrong with you? Have you been possessed?"
Ye Tiancheng asked very seriously. As he spoke, he used his true qi to examine her and found no dark energy on Su Muxian. This indicated that Ouyang Xinuo had not controlled Su Muxian with dark energy, which would explain her abnormal behavior.
This made it even stranger and harder to understand. How could Su Muxian, who had always kept Ouyang Xinuo at a distance, suddenly become so close to him? It was impossible to comprehend.
"I think you're the one who's possessed. I'm fine. Are you not allowed to make friends? Our marital relationship is only nominal. You don't need to control me, and I won't control you in the future. You can leave without saying goodbye whenever you want, without needing to explain anything to me, your wife. After all, we only have a superficial relationship. There's no need to restrain each other's actions."
Su Muxian, who had been confused moments ago, now understood. The reason Su Muxian was so angry was simply because he had left without saying goodbye and hadn't personally returned when he was angry, instead sending Xiao Pang to handle Su Muxian's affairs. This was what had provoked her intense rage.
"Su Muxian, please don't be angry anymore. I know I did wrong this time. I was planning to apologize properly when I saw you. We can talk things through slowly. You can't get so close to this scumbag just because you're angry with me. It's very dangerous for you."
More than just simple anger, Ye Tiancheng was more worried that Su Muxian would impulsively get involved with Ouyang Xinuo. Getting entangled with such a scumbag would be true damnation.
Ouyang Xinuo walked over, pulled Su Muxian away from Ye Tiancheng, and drew her to his side. He then glared at Ye Tiancheng and warned him, "I advise you not to be too arrogant. People who are conceited are very annoying. The girl has already said that your marriage is merely a formality. You fake couples don't even need to argue; you'll naturally break up."
"I advise you not to meddle. Our marital affairs are none of your business as an outsider, Ouyang Xinuo. You really have a lot of nerve."
"If it were me, I'd leave in disgrace instead of embarrassing myself here. I think the one with the nerve is you, Ye Tiancheng. What else do you want? Do you want to cling to Su Muxian forever and prevent her from choosing the person she truly loves? How can you be so selfish? A man being this selfish, I've never heard of or seen before. Today, I've finally seen your true colors."
He was loudly scolding Ye Tiancheng, as if he were the most righteous person in the world, merely stepping in to help when he saw injustice, while Ye Tiancheng was the most humble evil force that would eventually be defeated by him.
Ouyang Xinuo's righteous demeanor was utterly disgusting. Ye Tiancheng suppressed the churning in his stomach and his anger, saying to Ouyang Xinuo, "Please leave. Don't force me to act. Fighting outside the hospital won't be good for other patients."
Ouyang Xinuo smiled dismissively. "Heh, as if you could defeat me. I'm very curious why you're still here. Since you've chosen to give up on Su Muxian, why not hand her over to someone who truly likes her?"
"I'm here to visit Su Muxian. She's my wife, and what my wife and I do is none of your business as an outsider. The way you're acting now is truly despicable."
Ye Tiancheng felt it wasn't enough to just curse him. If he were as powerful as before, he could have crushed Ouyang Xinuo with a single blow. However, he didn't have that ability yet, but he certainly wouldn't let Ouyang Xinuo run rampant here.
Why say so much? He should just fight. Ye Tiancheng gathered a surge of true qi in his dantian and struck at Ouyang Xinuo. However, this force couldn't truly defeat Ouyang Xinuo, as he was becoming increasingly powerful, surrounded by dark energy, and practicing evil techniques. His growth was naturally much faster than Ye Tiancheng's.
After all, he didn't care about the means to achieve his goals. He didn't mind sacrificing others' lives as long as it increased his power. This person was extremely wicked.
However, to Ye Tiancheng's surprise, Ouyang Xinuo was knocked to the ground. This was very abnormal. Just as Ye Tiancheng was confused about what was happening, Su Muxian quickly went to help Ouyang Xinuo up and then looked at Ye Tiancheng with hatred, warning him.
"Brother Ye, I told you, we shouldn't interfere with each other. You do your thing, and I won't interfere. Please don't hurt my friends anymore. Your actions make me feel very sorry for you. Are you too insecure? That's why you resort to violence to hurt people."
Actually, Su Muxian knew that Ouyang Xinuo was not a good person and had always been rather repulsed by him. The reason she was hurting Ye Tiancheng so much was that when she needed Ye Tiancheng by her side the most, he had broken their promise. Thus, Su Muxian's heart had grown cold, and she decided not to rely on any man.
Saying these things now was just to anger Ye Tiancheng and make him leave. She didn't want Ye Tiancheng lingering around her, as it would only make Su Muxian angrier.
"Su Muxian, you're truly blinded by foolishness. This guy's abilities are now superior to mine. Have you forgotten how badly he injured me before? I suffered so much, only to have you turn your back on me and help an outsider. I'm truly heartbroken. Think about it carefully. I'm leaving."
At this moment, the woman was in a rage. Ye Tiancheng had some experience. He shouldn't push Su Muxian any further but should do the opposite, giving Su Muxian some space to realize that he was also wronged.
This way, he could evoke pity from the woman. These were all tactics, but what else could he do? Since ancient times, true hearts couldn't be kept; only tactics could win people over. Ye Tiancheng just didn't want more trouble and didn't want to see Ouyang Xinuo so arrogant.
"Look at that cowardly man; he doesn't like you at all. You just said a few words, and that man has already abandoned you. I'm better and more reliable. I will treat you well. You should divorce him. You've already made the wrong choice, and you can't continue down this path. Let's get married; I want you to be my wife."
Although proposing at this moment seemed inappropriate, Ouyang Xinuo really couldn't wait any longer. The missed marriage before had always been a regret in his heart. He thought that if he could fill this void today, his detours wouldn't have been in vain.
He had practiced evil arts in the first place just to become stronger and contend with Ye Tiancheng. Now, all of this was about to be realized. It seemed Su Muxian was about to become his woman.
Su Muxian standing by his side just now was a huge encouragement for Ouyang Xinuo. However, the development of events deviated far from Ouyang Xinuo's expectations. Su Muxian coldly shook off Ouyang Xinuo's hand.
"I'm sorry. I was just using you to anger Ye Tiancheng. I have no feelings for you. Even if I divorce Ye Tiancheng, I won't be with you. Don't look for me again in the future."
The last time Ouyang Xinuo visited Su Muxian, she had thrown his flowers and fruits out of the hospital room. Today, she happened to be out for a walk and encountered Ye Tiancheng, which was why Su Muxian gave Ouyang Xinuo some face.
Otherwise, she would have rejected Ouyang Xinuo's kindness as she always did. As the eldest daughter of the Su family, she had been constantly pursued since childhood. Su Muxian knew that when dealing with a man's goodwill, one had to be ruthless.
If one wasn't ruthless, it would lead to endless entanglements, and she would be the one troubled in the end. It was better to make things clear and make Ouyang Xinuo give up. If he didn't give up, he might come looking for trouble later. Su Muxian didn't have the energy to deal with this toad.
Ouyang Xinuo had truly fallen for Su Muxian. Therefore, when he was rejected and learned the truth, he felt a heart-wrenching pain.
This cruelty was something Ouyang Xinuo couldn't accept for a moment, yet he couldn't bear to hurt Su Muxian, so the struggle was only within himself.
"Su Muxian, what am I lacking? Tell me, and I can change. Am I inferior to Ye Tiancheng? Why are you always so heartless towards me, yet you still fall for Ye Tiancheng even after losing your memory?"
"If I could explain where this love comes from, I would. I would also control myself not to love him, but I just can't explain it, which is why I'm in so much pain. I don't want to hurt you. Leave. Don't disturb my life again. If I don't like you, I don't like you. Feelings can't be cultivated. I only believe in love at first sight."
Ouyang Xinuo left in disappointment, while Su Muxian kept thinking about Ye Tiancheng. Ye Tiancheng seemed genuinely hurt just now. Had she gone too far?
But the fact that Ye Tiancheng hadn't returned to accompany her when she was sick was something Su Muxian truly cared about. As a woman, it was inevitable to be a bit sentimental sometimes.
However, Ye Tiancheng wasn't like this before. He used to be quite attentive to her and would protect Su Muxian first in times of danger. Recalling the brief yet beautiful memories they shared, Su Muxian felt a pang of regret. She preferred to believe there might be another possibility.
But what if Ye Tiancheng had important matters to attend to? The more she thought about it, the more distressed she felt. Su Muxian even felt like calling Ye Tiancheng, but she managed to control herself.
At this moment, it was best to give each other some space to calmly reflect. If they pushed each other too hard, they would only drift further apart. Love was like sand in one's hand; if held too tightly, it might slip away faster. Therefore, it was best to let everything take its natural course.
