I patiently explained to him, "I don't blame you. I know that you are good for me and want to protect me. How can I blame you? It's just that I'm suffocating here, and I want to go out for a breather. In this way, I'll bring my phone with me next time I go out. I'll also say hello to you. Won't you be angry?"
When Jiang Miao heard me say that, his anger gradually subsided.
I waved to the maids to get them to do their work.
I took the initiative to pour some water to appease him. "Drink some water to calm your anger."
He didn't pick it up, so I took another banana from the fruit plate and peeled it for him to eat. This time he picked it up and took it back as soon as possible. It was always my trait. I didn't expect him to be assimilated by me now.
"Where did you go tonight?" His tone was still not very good.
"Go around and eat something." I prevaricate, "I've been bored here for a long time. I really want to try something outside."
Jiang Miao glanced at me. "Have you thought about what I said last time?"
I was stunned and immediately understood what he was referring to. Although marrying him would dispel Fu Shouye's doubts and stay in North city openly, then Fu Jing and I would really have no chance at all.
Why didn't I want to agree to him the moment I thought about it?!
"Chen Qing, what are you hesitating about? Ah jing hasn't shown up yet. Fu Shouye already sees you as a thorn in his eye. If you continue to hesitate, I won't be able to protect you." He held my shoulder, and the pain made me concentrate.
Looking at my sister's current state, she won't be able to leave North city for a while, so I have to stay with her.
"Okay, I promise you."
The corners of Jiang Miao's mouth rose. The first laugh was not real, but rather an instinctive reaction. The next laugh was real, laughter.
When I saw his smile, I felt like I had made a mistake. "Young master Jiang, I'm married to you and I live here. I owe you this favor, but I want you to help me to the end. We'll just be a fake couple. When I'm free, you'll have to help me get a divorce."
The smile on his face was a little stiff. It took him a long time to agree to my request. "Okay."
I know that I went too far, and to some extent, I can interpret it as I was using his feelings, but I can't do anything about it. Right now, I can't find a way to survive other than using him.
The next day, the news that jiang miao and I were getting married appeared on the news, and someone interviewed us in jiang miao's garden.
I appeared in front of the camera like a carefully dressed doll, answered the reporters according to what jiang miao taught me, and acted with him as the new couple who was about to enter the wedding hall.
At the end of the day, I was so tired.
I went back to my room early and even refused dinner. Around eight o' clock, jiang miao knocked on my door with a bowl of porridge.
"I heard you didn't eat anything. The porridge in the kitchen, drink some." He suddenly became gentle.
I pulled the corners of my mouth. "Young master Jiang, you don't have to do this to me. You have no obligation or responsibility."
"What if I let go of my responsibilities simply because I want to do this to you?" He sat by the bed and his words made me feel more stressed.
I regret the decision I made yesterday.
I took the porridge and silently fed it to my mouth. After eating it, I went to bed immediately, not wanting to have too much contact with him.
"If you don't go out for a walk, how can you digest it like this?" He lifted the blanket and tried to pull me.
I frowned and pulled back the quilt. "The porridge is the best to digest, so it can be digested. I don't want to move. I just want to sleep. You've been tired all day. Go to bed."
Jiang Miao paused by my bed for a moment before leaving.
I was tired, but I couldn't sleep. I kept thinking about it in my head. Marrying Jiang Miao would bring me peace, but I couldn't stand facing someone I didn't love every day.
Unless Chen Lai agrees to go with me, this kind of life is too torturous.
The next morning, I hid in the bathroom, turned on the tap in the sink and called Lu Buyuan. I asked him if my sister's condition had improved, but he told me that my sister was in the hospital.
I was so anxious that I wanted to rush over immediately, but Lu Buyuan didn't want me to tell Jiang Miao about it.
It suddenly occurred to me that he once told me that Jiang Miao and chen lai had a grudge and that he had hurt Chen Lai.
At breakfast, I told Jiang Miao I was going out for a walk.
"I'll have the driver drive you."
"No, I just want to take a stroll. Don't worry. Nothing will happen. I have my cell phone with me. I'll call you if anything happens."
Jiang Miao agreed. As soon as he left after breakfast, I left immediately.
I bought some things and went to the hospital. Lu Buyuan told me that my sister lived in the department of kidney medicine. I looked around and found my sister's ward.
Chen Lai smiled when he saw me. "You don't look well."
"Then I'm better than you, the patient." I put the things away and adjusted the tilt of the first half of her bed so that she could sit and talk to me. "Sis, I've always wanted to ask you, what happened to you all these years? I always feel that you are very weak."
The faint smile on her face was fading. "I don't want to mention it."
"Okay, if we don't want to talk about it, then we won't talk about it. But if you feel bad inside, you must tell me." I hurriedly comforted him, and when I looked up, I saw the lilies by the bed.
Lu Buyuan knew that Chen Lai didn't like lilies. Why would there be lilies by the bed?
I thought of Fu Jing. When he took me to the cemetery to see the empty tombstone, he brought lilies. He also told me that your sister liked lilies.
"Sis, isn't this your favorite lily?" I tried, intentionally or unintentionally.
She nodded, a rare glint of happiness in her eyes. It's not hard to guess a woman's expression. I'm sure Fu Jing must have sent this bouquet of flowers.
But didn't Fu Jing leave? How did he come back?
"He's the only one who knows that I like lilies and will definitely send them to me." Chen Lai raised his hand and stroked the blooming lily.
She didn't know about me and Fu Jing. That's why I felt so guilty when I saw her face.
"Is it the person you like?"
She said yes, I heard it very clearly.
At this moment, I hope she never knows about me and Fu Jing, ever.
"Chen Qing, you're here." Lu Buyuan, in a white coat, walked into the ward. "Ah Lai, what did the doctor say during the morning rounds?"
Chen Lai shook his head. "Nothing, just like yesterday."
"I've been so busy chatting that I forgot to ask the most important question. Sis, what's wrong with you?" I said hurriedly.
"Kidney function..." Lu Buyuan was interrupted by Chen Lai the moment he opened his mouth.
"Not far."
I didn't understand. "What's wrong? What a big deal! Why are you hiding it from me? Doctor lu, tell me."
