Chapter 1699: What Is a Woman in Your Eyes

The nurse looked at the medicine, then at the chart next to Xie Wanyi, and said in a loud voice, "Time for the injection, stick your hand out!"

The nurse's loud voice left Jiang Motian's lie with nowhere to hide...

Xiaoshi also immediately caught onto something and asked hurriedly, "Why are you at the Hospital? Are you sick? I'll come find you right now!"

"No, it's not me who's sick!"

"Impossible, you must be lying to me because you're afraid I'll worry!"

"It really is..."

Before Jiang Motian could finish her sentence, someone reached out and took her phone away.

Holding the phone, Xie Wanyi said calmly and composedly, "I am Xie Wanyi. I am the one who is sick, and Jiang Motian is taking care of me."

This reply was simple, direct, and blunt.

Yet it made Jiang Motian's eyes widen.

It also made the person on the other end of the phone fall silent.

"Please give the phone back to Tiantian!"

After a moment, Xiaoshi spoke up.

But at this moment, he lacked his usual softness and weakness, and instead had a hint of eeriness.

Xie Wanyi looked at the phone nonchalantly and tapped it.

Then he said, "Why is it out of power?"

Out of power!?

Jiang Motian hurriedly took the phone and discovered the screen was indeed black; no matter how she pressed it, there was no response.

This made Jiang Motian feel strange, and she muttered, "That shouldn't be right, it still had 40% battery left no matter how you look at it."

"Perhaps it's because you have too many background processes running, which consumes too much power. I suggest you uninstall the unnecessary programs and clear out the junk. If you can't do it, I can help you."

"No need!"

Jiang Motian did not want to have too much contact with Xie Wanyi.

As for Xiaoshi...

It wasn't a big deal; she would explain it to Xiaoshi next time they met.

While Jiang Motian was silent, the nurse had already deftly administered the injection to Xie Wanyi, then turned and left with the medicine tray.

Seeing that there was nothing left for her to do here, Jiang Motian wanted to leave.

It was just that...

Why did Xie Wanyi, sitting in the chair, look a bit wilted?

Could the medicine be taking effect already?

Just as Jiang Motian was observing, Xie Wanyi suddenly started coughing.

He coughed very violently, and his face even turned red.

This left Jiang Motian feeling somewhat at a loss.

She didn't know whether she should help pat his back or go call the nurse.

Fortunately, Xie Wanyi slowly calmed down.

Jiang Motian breathed a sigh of relief, and then she asked with feigned indifference, "Are you alright?"

Xie Wanyi shook his head.

"Do you have any discomfort from taking this medicine?"

"No."

"But... why do you look so listless?"

Xie Wanyi leaned back against the chair, his voice dropping a few degrees: "Just sleepy."

After saying this, Xie Wanyi simply closed his eyes.

Jiang Motian looked at the man with his eyes tightly shut, then looked at the IV bag, thinking that if he fell asleep and there was no one else around...

No, he couldn't sleep.

Jiang Motian reached out, intending to push Xie Wanyi awake.

But looking at the exhaustion between Xie Wanyi's brows, Jiang Motian hesitated again.

How about... staying with him for a while?

As soon as the thought popped into her mind, Jiang Motian despised herself for it.

She wondered to herself what she was to him now, so why waste time here?

Jiang Motian hardened her heart and spoke up loudly, "This will take a while to finish, let your girlfriend come take care of you!"

Xie Wanyi opened his eyes.

He looked at Jiang Motian calmly and stated a fact: "She... is not my girlfriend."

After saying this, Xie Wanyi stared intently at Jiang Motian's eyes, wanting to see what her attitude was.

And as for Jiang Motian's attitude...

She directly sneered.

She even retorted, "What is a woman in your eyes? A tool? Something to be discarded once the goal is achieved?"

"That's not it!"

"Then why break up? Do you not love her anymore?"

Love?

Xie Wanyi had never loved Xu Nianxin.

But since he didn't love her, how was he supposed to explain why he was with Xu Nianxin?

Xie Wanyi fell silent.

And his silence made Jiang Motian even angrier.

She shouted, almost frantically, "It's like this again; why do you always go silent in the middle of a conversation!"

"You know my sordid past well enough; the status of being a couple... is also something that can be utilized."

The status of being a couple...

Utilize?

Jiang Motian realized something.

And this result left her disappointed.

Jiang Motian said with a mocking expression, "Right, I had forgotten; lying is something you have always been good at!"

"I did tell a lie, but I did not harm anyone because of it."

"But you make people sad!"

Xie Wanyi stared straight into Jiang Motian's eyes and asked a question: "Then what about you? Are you sad too?"

The answer to this question was obvious.

Yet Jiang Motian turned her head away and said stubbornly, "I am not; it's not worth it for you!"

At this moment, Jiang Motian held her body straight.

It seemed as if this could prove her resolve was firm and that she was definitely not lying.

Unfortunately... Xie Wanyi did not believe her.

Li Moning had said that Jiang Motian had not moved on yet.

She... was waiting for an explanation from him.

In the past, Xie Wanyi felt this explanation was unimportant.

But now, he had changed his mind.

He spoke the words hidden deep in his heart for a long time: "The past me had no qualifications to stand by your side, nor could I have become your friend. The current me is still the same!"

Jiang Motian, however, felt this was just an excuse.

She lifted her chin and said unceremoniously, "Haven't you already left Wuyou Hall? Why keep playing the victim?"

"I am not playing the victim, I am merely stating facts. And although I have left the Organization, I offended many people in the past, and some members of the Organization still view me as a traitor, so my side remains dangerous."

These were words Jiang Motian was hearing for the first time.

She was stunned.

Then, she asked, "Since it is dangerous, why did Xu Nianxin become your girlfriend and appear by your side?"

"I already said, she is not my girlfriend."

Xie Wanyi's words carried a very clear implication.

He was telling Jiang Motian that the relationship between him and Xu Nianxin was merely a cooperative one.

But the fact that Xu Nianxin used the status of a girlfriend to find fault with Jiang Motian was not fake.

Thinking about it now, Jiang Motian found it ridiculous.

However...

Jiang Motian thought of something, and her eyes gradually darkened.

She said, "Xu Nianxin likes you; you are just using her."

"Has she not used me? Since she could agree to it, it means both sides will gain benefits."

"Hmph, when it comes down to it, you are still calculating."

Xie Wanyi did not deny it, nor did he regret it, because...

"If I did not calculate, I would have died countless times already; how would I have been able to reunite with you?"

Jiang Motian snorted lightly: "You make it sound as if you lied for my sake."

"To some extent, it is related."

"Hey, don't you try to pin this on me!"

Xie Wanyi smiled faintly and replied, "Alright."

At this moment, Xie Wanyi seemed to be indulging Jiang Motian's temper.

Jiang Motian was still glaring at Xie Wanyi.

But her heart... was uncontrollably softening.
