Chapter 399

After Shu Xia finished speaking, she walked out, huffing with anger.

Just after she went out, she turned back and said indignantly to Qiao Muting, "Men are truly dogs once they get out of bed!"

Having almost never seen Shu Xia angry or swearing, Qiao Muting was somewhat surprised by her words.

He was not angry.

Because he clearly felt that in front of him, Shu Xia was hiding her emotions less and less.

This was the real her.

So real that he couldn't help but have the urge to pull her back to bed for some intimacy.

After having breakfast at the hotel, Shu Xia decided to go to the hospital with Qiao Muting to visit Song Ziqi.

The two of them came out of the hotel and got into the car.

They didn't glance at anything else the entire time.

Meanwhile, off to the side, a haggard-looking Fu Chenyan with stubble on his face watched helplessly as Shu Xia and Qiao Muting came and went together, their behavior very intimate.

"Shu Xia, is it because of him that you despise me? Since when did you become such a shallow person? What kind of person is Qiao Muting? He has never lacked women by his side; he is just playing with you!"

Fu Chenyan's eyes were full of ferocity.

He knew all too well how tempting Qiao Muting was to women.

Ordinary people like them really become very lowly in front of Qiao Muting!

He had been bewitched by Lin Miao back then precisely because Lin Miao came from a wealthy background, the type of girl he couldn't reach, and he had easily lost his mind.

He had walked that path and knew very well what the situation was, so although he felt terrible inside that Shu Xia was walking this path, he could help Shu Xia leave!

Yes!

Find an opportunity to take Shu Xia away!

This hotel was ridiculously expensive; he didn't have much money on his card and couldn't waste it staying here. He had stayed in a small guesthouse last night, so he would check in there again today and wait for an opportunity to take Shu Xia away.

——

In the hospital, there was the smell of disinfectant at all times.

She did not enter the intensive care unit, but stood in front of the window watching the situation inside.

Qiao Muting changed into sterilized clothes and walked in. It was unknown what he said to Song Ziqi, but Song Ziqi seemed very happy.

Even after finishing surgery and still being under close observation, Song Ziqi seemed to have endless things to say and talked for a long time.

Until the time was up, Song Ziqi was reluctant to part, so Qiao Muting offered a word of comfort and then walked out of the intensive care unit.

Song Ziqi tilted her head and looked toward Shu Xia.

Seeing the stunningly beautiful Shu Xia, the smile on Song Ziqi's face stiffened slightly.

But immediately after, she very politely nodded at Shu Xia to greet her.

Shu Xia also smiled in response.

Qiao Muting happened to walk out and arrive at Shu Xia's side.

He put his arm around Shu Xia, "Let's go."

"Then here..."

"Leave it to Zhang Tezhu."

"Okay."

Song Ziqi watched the two people embracing as if no one else were around, and her heart ached a little.

She didn't know if it was because of the surgery or because she discovered that Brother Mu Ting liked Shu Xia, but her heart really didn't feel very comfortable.

——

After leaving the hospital, Qiao Muting took Shu Xia by boat to an island near K City.

The entertainment facilities, hotels, and so on on this island were all properties of Qiao Group.

"Do you like diving?" Qiao Muting asked.

Shu Xia's eyes were full of eagerness, "I haven't been diving before, but I can learn!"
