Chapter 273: Chapter 272: Without You, There Are Others to Follow
Leng Yan felt something burning inside, but he couldn’t let it out. Holding back his anger, he asked, "Where’s Nuannuan? Let her take the call. I must clear things up today."
"Explain?" Tong Xi sneered, her voice sharp with derision, "Can you really explain it? And not just about today, what about the nonsense you pulled last night? Aren’t you going to explain that?"
"I’ll explain, I’ll explain it all." Leng Yan had never been scolded so harshly since he was a child. Now, he knew it was self-inflicted, and he could only suppress his anger.
"You explain? Ha, but it’s a pity, my Nuannuan..."
Tong Xi gritted her teeth, enunciating each word: "Doesn’t, want, to, hear!"
"Tong Xi, where is she?"
He needed Wen Nuan; as long as she was willing to forgive him, Tong Xi could scold him as much as she wanted.
"I don’t know!" Tong Xi’s chest was filled with unrelenting agitation, coolly delivering three words to him. Hearing the silence on the other end, she smirked coldly, "Leng, you don’t need to know where Nuannuan is. Uh huh, remember these words well today, and never ask again."
"Miss, this is a hospital. Please keep your voice down and do not disturb other patients." The nurse had been wanting to intervene for a while. Hearing her voice getting louder, she walked over with a slight frown to persuade.
Tong Xi embarrassingly stuck out her tongue. Sure enough, her voice had attracted too many eyes, her face reddened. Just as she was about to lower her voice to continue her rant, Leng Yan’s anxious voice came through, "Hospital? Which hospital is Nuannuan in?"
Hearing someone speaking nearby, all his nerves were strung tight, as if they might snap at any moment. His heart was filled with guilt and pain.
Nuannuan was actually in the hospital; damn him, he had angered her to this point.
"Yes, at the hospital. Are you happy now? Go report this good news to your precious Ji Wei. You all made my Xixi so upset she’s hospitalized; go celebrate, yes, you better buy some fireworks for the occasion..."
Tong Xi’s freshly quelled anger flared up again, and unable to keep her voice down, she stomped outside to shout: "Moreover, if you want to shamelessly celebrate with some white sheets, then roll away far, don’t pollute our area! Not everyone is as shameless as you two. You’re shameless, but we’re still afraid of having our eyes burned."
"Tong Xi, Ji Wei and I..."
Leng Yan’s face flushed even deeper, pinching the bridge of his nose, trying to explain. But Tong Xi wouldn’t give him a chance, getting angrier the more she spoke: "What about you and Ji Wei? Do you want to tell me that your old... flame rekindled, and after a little drink, you couldn’t help but ended up together? Ha, let me tell you, you two are bloody bastards, want a backseat romp, can’t you find somewhere else? Did you do it in front of my house just to provoke Nuannuan? Leng Yan, I really don’t know what the hell you’re playing at. Want a divorce, just say it.
Do you know who my Nuannuan is? A big beauty and a big talent! Don’t think you’re that special. Let me tell you today, without you, there’s always someone better.
Ever since I met Xixi, the number of people pursuing her is countless. Xixi was just infatuated with you at first sight three years ago. But she will understand today, the man she loves, isn’t a good one at all. You don’t need to provoke her, when Nuannuan wakes up she’ll divorce you. Go be a happy couple with Ji Xiaosan, oh, and finally, I wish you: I hope the two of you will never find happiness!"
Her tongue was quick, she had a relentless torrent of scolding, leaving Leng Yan with a mouth full of bitterness and unable to utter a word. Hearing the last part, he finally couldn’t help raising his voice to rebut: "I won’t divorce her."
Not even if he was killed!
He wanted to beg Nuannuan for forgiveness; it was just an accident, it wouldn’t happen again.
"Oh wow, acting all responsible, are you? You don’t want to? Haha, you don’t want to, Ji Xiaosan wants to. For the sake of your old... flame, please let my Nuannuan go."
The rage inside made her chest heave up and down. After scolding, she thought she would feel better, but her nose turned sour, and she couldn’t help but start crying. Crying for a bit, she remembered Wen Nuan was still in the ward, and she wiped her tears hard, called back Director Weng, saying she didn’t feel well and wouldn’t go to the set, and then returned to the ward.
"Whose call was that? Why are you crying?" Tan Qing saw Tong Xi come in with red eyes, quickly released Wen Nuan’s hand, and looked at Tong Xi.
He wanted to give her some comfort like Tong Xi did, but didn’t dare approach. Only when Tong Xi left did he sneakily hold her hand. Fortunately, she didn’t resist, staying quietly letting him hold it, which finally brought a bit of comfort to his troubled heart.
"Heartless man!"
Tong Xi bit her lip, anger bubbling at the phone, decisively turned it off.
"What nerve, apologizing now, asking where Nuannuan is, I just won’t say. Hmph, drink and lose control and you have the right? I say, for such a man, just kick one when you see one, kick a pair if you see two, the sooner the better for peace of mind."
Tan Qing’s lips moved, but he didn’t speak. He really wanted to grab Leng Yan by the collar and give him a few punches. He kept saying he wanted to give Wen Nuan happiness, then why did he end up hurting her!
"I say, there isn’t a decent man among them..." Tong Xi’s chest was heaving with fury, seeing Tan Qing’s slightly changed face, she immediately realized, "Sorry, I didn’t mean you."
"I’m fine." Tan Qing shook his head. He usually couldn’t stand Tong Xi, but he had nothing against her this once. In fact, he was very glad Wen Nuan had such a friend by her side.
Quietly looking at Wen Nuan’s face, he was filled with compassion. His phone was ringing non-stop. The company had called earlier, with Deputy Director Shao out of town, certain matters had to be handled by him. But he didn’t want to leave, seeing Wen Nuan lying there, he couldn’t bring himself to go back to work.
"Transfer it to my email, I’ll handle it."
Calling the company, Tan Qing decided to take out his laptop and work on the table in the ward. He put a keyboard cover on, the sound was very light, so it wouldn’t disturb Wen Nuan’s rest.
Over an hour later, Wen Nuan finally slowly opened her eyes, astonished by the snowy white surroundings. Tong Xi was sitting on her right; she slightly turned her head and saw her, gently calling: "Xixi."
"Nuannuan, you’re awake?"
Tong Xi, pondering how to teach Ji Wei a lesson, was thrilled to hear her voice and called out to her.
Tan Qing’s hand, sending a file, suddenly trembled, his pupils immediately showing a glimmer of joy.
"Why am I lying here?" Wen Nuan looked at Tong Xi in confusion, "I only remember you coming to see me, and then nothing else."
"You fainted." Xixi helped her sit up, patting her chest, "Nuannuan, you scared me to death. Tan Qing and I have been staying here for over an hour."
"Tan Qing?"
Wen Nuan’s expression showed a trace of realization. She remembered hearing two voices before losing consciousness. One was Tong Xi’s, was the other...
