Chapter 1216: Shield, You Should Just Come Back

Why would she have such a strange thought?

"I haven't been kidnapped, you all should go out."

Ji Yingjie didn't leave; instead, she sat down: "I don't have anything to do anyway. Your mother won't let me leave the hospital, so I'll stay to chat with you and relieve the boredom."

And so, for the next hour.

It was entirely filled with her various insults.

Cursing Zhu Qingrui.

Cursing Qi Heng.

Cursing the doctors and nurses in the hospital...

Amidst the cursing, there was also the "clanging" sound of door repairs.

The person repairing the door was Nianyin, who was also bored, because like her mother, her range of movement was restricted to the hospital, and she couldn't go anywhere.

Her injuries had long since healed.

But her husband hadn't been rescued yet; she didn't even know where he was now, nor could she go back to take revenge.

She was too idle, so idle she was about to grow mold.

Just at this moment, Shi Ran also arrived at the hospital.

For the first few days, Yun Qitian had been taking care of Shi Ran, and even if the two of them were bored, it wouldn't be appropriate to be a third wheel, so they hadn't come over.

Finally, Yun Qitian was chased away by Shi Ran, and then everyone started coming in an endless stream; after everyone left, it was finally their turn!

What "Please Do Not Disturb"? It was just a sign; could it really block the two of them?

Shi Ran was overwhelmed by the harassment.

With great difficulty, Ji Yingjie and Nianyin went back to their own Hospital Ward, leaving behind these words before they left: "We'll come over first thing tomorrow morning!"

Shi Ran:...

She closed the door, and the first thing she did was call Yun Qitian, asking him to come over first thing the next morning.

Of two evils, choose the lesser; compared to Ji Yingjie, Yun Qitian was an angel!

Yun Qitian reappeared in Shi Ran's Hospital Ward, much more restrained than last time; he didn't talk as much, but he showed plenty of concern.

He took meticulous care of Shi Ran, feeding her and pouring water for her.

Her arm was injured, so it was inconvenient for her to do these things herself.

With Yun Qitian taking care of Shi Ran in the Hospital Ward, although others didn't come as frequently, they didn't stop coming entirely.

And every time, he was able to skillfully resolve Shi Ran's embarrassment, naturally shifting topics she didn't like to talk about elsewhere!

Or, when she wanted some peace and quiet, he would politely yet warmly invite everyone out of the Hospital Ward, giving her enough space to be alone without making anyone feel awkward.

Yun Qitian had high emotional intelligence.

Shi Ran only just discovered this, and she was no longer as resistant to him being by her side.

Ji Family.

"Bang!"

"Clatter—"

Liu Min swept everything on the table onto the floor, including the computer Zhu Qingrui used to communicate with the outside world.

Zhu Qingrui was furious: "What are you going crazy about again? You crazy woman, don't think I can't do anything about you!"

Liu Min: "What do you want to do? Want to fight? Come on then, whoever chickens out today is a coward!" Her eyes were wide open, and she took a stance, ready to make a move.

Zhu Qingrui:...

He got a headache just seeing his wife now, and he felt regret.

He regretted being so rash.

He shouldn't have rushed into a marriage alliance without understanding the situation.

Liu Min was different from most women in L Country; she was too fierce, so fierce she didn't seem like a woman, but rather a tigress.

Whenever anything didn't go her way, Liu Min would immediately fly into a rage.

And she didn't care about the occasion; she would get angry whenever she wanted, regardless of how many people were around, and she certainly wouldn't care about her husband's face.

She didn't like him; he knew that. In his wife's eyes, he couldn't see a shred of love or affection for him.

This didn't matter; it was irrelevant.

He didn't like her either.

Their marriage had nothing to do with love in the first place; it was merely a means to maintain the alliance.

Zhu Qingrui had originally thought that, relying on his own ability and charm, even if they had no emotional foundation before marriage, his wife would soon fall in love with him after marriage.

As long as a woman had love for a man, she would be confused and irrational; by then, wouldn't she do whatever he said?

Liu Quan only had one daughter, Liu Min, and he doted on her like the apple of his eye; controlling Liu Min was equivalent to controlling her father.

He had planned it well, and in the beginning, he had indeed been very good to his wife, being completely compliant.

But Liu Min didn't fall in love; instead, she became even worse, becoming more arrogant and unreasonable.

She took the initiative to provoke him, and he compromised once again, lowering his head in silence, but a flash of ruthlessness appeared in the depths of his eyes!

Liu Min's arrogance grew even more rampant, and she cursed at anything she could get her hands on: "Coward, you useless thing, you can't carry anything on your shoulders or lift anything with your hands, you don't even know how to shoot a gun; I don't know what kind of sin I committed in my past life to end up with you..."

She was also full of grievances.

Although she knew her marriage wasn't simple and was a tool for her father to stabilize the alliance.

But as long as a girl had a romantic bone in her body, she was the same.

She hoped her marriage could be a bit more interesting; even if there was no love, couldn't it at least be fun?

Liu Min didn't think this request was excessive.

Yet even such a simple request, he could not fulfill.

In her eyes, Zhu Qingrui was just like a wooden puppet, timid and submissive, so honest that he couldn't even let out a fart if you kicked him three times.

She found it boring, so she decided to throw a tantrum.

She had been accustomed to being willful at home, so she was just acting the same way now; it seemed there was no problem with that.

As for the matter of her killing Zhu Qingxiang back in Jiangzhou, she had initially been afraid that Zhu Qingrui would find out, but later, seeing that her husband looked like someone very easy to bully, she cast it to the back of her mind and stopped thinking about it.

Liu Min gave Zhu Qingrui a sound scolding and finally ordered him to tidy up the room and get out to sleep.

The guest room.

As the butler made the bed for him, he felt aggrieved on behalf of his young master: "Young Master, the young lady of the Liu Family is too outrageous; she is not worthy of you."

Zhu Qingrui sat on the grand armchair, wiping his wet hair with a towel; his tone was gentle, but there was not a shred of warmth in his eyes: "Do you think I will grow old with her? I am merely tolerating her for a few days to paralyze Liu Quan."

"If Liu Quan goes to Jiangzhou and happens to find something, then we will keep the person and take the money!"

The butler said: "I understand the logic, it's just that you are being wronged."

The corners of his mouth curled up, and he gave a contemptuous smile: "She thinks she can do whatever she wants? There is no such cheap thing; people should pay the price for their own willfulness..."

Jiangzhou.

Jian Family Hospital.

Two doctors wearing white coats were pushing a small cart together, hurrying past Yun Qitian.

He felt something was not right.

When he walked to Shi Ran's Hospital Ward, he remembered!

Those two people just now were problematic.

They were wearing the white coats that doctors wear, yet they were pushing the small cart used by nurses for giving injections.

Furthermore, the two of them were pushing one cart together; the hospital had no such custom or procedure!

Yun Qitian himself studied medicine, and his mother was also a doctor.

Having been influenced by it since childhood, he was very familiar with hospitals, and he immediately judged that those two were impostors!

"Bang!"

He hurriedly closed the door tightly and locked it from the inside.

Then he went to the window and pulled the curtains shut, drawing them tight so not a sliver of sunlight could get in, while simultaneously lowering his voice to shout at Shi Ran to get off the hospital bed quickly and crawl under it.
