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 medications 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 belatedly felt that Jiang Nannan's situation was not quite right.

If it were before, even if she had gone off to spend intimate 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 you having such a bad constitution before. You used to eat and drink whatever you wanted with me every day, and I never saw you get a stomachache. 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; one look and you could tell she's a high-level green tea bitch. 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 to death 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 back then, 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 for you to wake up now. How about it? Have you had any romantic encounters? With your looks, as long as you want, men will surely come one after another. My cousin even asked about you two days ago; looking at him, it seems he fell for you at first sight. How about it? Will you consider it?" As Jiang Nannan spoke, she started acting as a matchmaker.

Listening to Jiang Nannan's tone, which was completely normal over the phone, Shu Xia set aside her worries.

"Romantic encounters are completely unnecessary. I am a married person and must be loyal to my marriage. Besides, things like falling in love don't suit me." Shu Xia saw things clearly.

Right now, her relationship with Qiao Muting was just right: physically satisfied, the couple treated each other with mutual respect, 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 suiting 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!"

"No need to go that far, right?"

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

"If your President Huo finds out you're going to dance on a pole, he'll 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.
