She didn't see anything either.

"Okay."

The next second, Zhang Tezhu returned, "I just asked the doctor and it's fine to be discharged. I've already bought the few medicines they prescribed."

Just like that, Shu Xia left the hospital and returned to the hotel.

Originally, Qiao Muting was already sitting in the car with her, intending to return to the hotel to rest together, but Song Ziqi called to say she was suddenly feeling unwell, so Qiao Muting went back to the hospital.

Zhang Tezhu was responsible for taking her back.

The journey took about twenty minutes to reach the hotel.

After dropping her off, Zhang Tezhu hurried back to the hospital; it seemed Song Ziqi's situation was somewhat urgent.

She first took a shower, then lay on the bed to rest.

She took out her phone to chat with Jiang Nannan.

Since that night, Jiang Nannan hadn't made a sound for these past two days.

Now that she was idle, she realized in hindsight that Jiang Nannan's situation didn't seem right.

If it were before, even if she had gone to spend time with Huo Jingyan, she would have called or sent a WeChat message the next day.

She found a photo taken at the hospital on her phone and sent it over.

【No one expected that on a trip, I'd end up in the hospital with gastroenteritis.】

A crying emoji.

Within a minute, Jiang Nannan called.

"What's going on with you? I don't remember your health being that bad before. You used to eat and drink whatever you wanted with me every day, and I never saw you have an upset stomach. How did you get gastroenteritis just by going to K City?"

Jiang Nannan probably thought of what Shu Xia encountered after returning to the Lin Family, and continued: "I didn't agree with you donating blood to Lin Miao back then. I felt uncomfortable all over the moment I saw that Lin Miao; she looked like a manipulative green tea from the start. But you had just returned to the Lin Family and wanted to get along well with them, so I couldn't stop you. I regret it so much now; I should have stopped you back then!"

Shu Xia laughed and said: "I regret it deeply now too. I was truly blinded by pig lard at the time, believing the Lin Family would cherish my sacrifices. In the end, it was equivalent to feeding it to a dog."

"Forget it, it's not too late to realize it now. How about it? Any romantic encounters? With your looks, as long as you want, men will surely line up one after another. My cousin even asked about you two days ago; looking at him, it seems like it was love at first sight. How about it? Will you consider it?" Jiang Nannan said, acting as a matchmaker as she spoke.

Listening to Jiang Nannan's tone, which was as normal as ever over the phone, Shu Xia let go of her worries.

"There's no need for romantic encounters. I am a married person and must be loyal to my marriage. Besides, falling in love and such isn't suitable for me." Shu Xia saw things clearly.

Right now, her relationship with Qiao Muting was just right: physically satisfied, a relationship of mutual respect between husband and wife, and they didn't interfere with each other's work. If one day Qiao Muting wanted a divorce, she could leave cleanly without any pain, and she believed Qiao Muting felt the same way.

For once, Jiang Nannan didn't refute Shu Xia's comment about love not being suitable for her, but instead said helplessly: "What married person? Are you too deep into your role? Do you still want to tell me Qiao Muting is your husband?"

"I wouldn't lie to anyone, but I wouldn't lie to you. My husband really is Qiao Muting."

"If your husband really is Qiao Muting, I'll go to a bar and dance on a pole for you, sister!"

"You don't have to be that extreme, right?"

"If you can marry Qiao Muting, can't I even dance on a pole?"

"If your President Huo knew you were going to dance on a pole, he would definitely lock you at home." Shu Xia remembered the last time at the bar when Huo Jingyan came to pick up a drunk Jiang Nannan; he looked quite scary, and he might strictly forbid Jiang Nannan from going to bars again once they got home.

Jiang Nannan paused for a few seconds before saying: "Forget him! No one can stop me from doing what I want."

Because they were thousands of kilometers apart over the phone, Shu Xia didn't sense that slight abnormality in Jiang Nannan.
