Chapter 28

"Then why do you keep coming to find me?" she said angrily, "Do you only want my body? Because it's fresh, because no other man has touched it? So you weren't satisfied with just one night?!"

"Bai Bai Ziling, it's not that despicable."

"Then what is it?"

"I like the life with you in it." Jiang Jie could only say this, "I don't want to live alone anymore."

"I don't want to live with someone who doesn't love me either."

"Bai Bai Ziling!" Jiang Jie was somewhat angry. Had everything returned to the starting point? After all that talking, it was still a waste of time.

"Come back when you've truly thought it through!" Bai Bai Ziling opened the car door, got out without hesitation, and rushed into the rain. Now both sides had made things perfectly clear; whether there would be a chance depended entirely on Jiang Jie's decision.

As soon as she received the call from Di Di Zhiwei, Bai Bai Ziling immediately cried and rushed down the mountain. She hadn't expected Jiang Jie to have a car accident. Because of the rain and slippery roads, combined with Jiang Jie's anger, Bai Bai Ziling didn't know exactly how severe his injuries were. She only knew that if anything serious happened to Jiang Jie, she would...

... regret and feel remorse for the rest of her life.

Fortunately, protected by the airbag, although the car was completely destroyed, he only suffered minor injuries.

Yu Si only learned that Jiang Jie had a car accident from the scrolling news ticker on the TV screen. At the first moment, she and Cen Shi immediately rushed to the hospital. No matter what, she had to go there in person to feel at ease.

Except for some cuts on his face from the shattered windshield, Jiang Jie was not seriously hurt.

"You look fine!" Yu Si sighed with relief. "The scrolling news ticker on TV was quite sensational."

"Don't believe the TV; I'm perfectly fine." Jiang Jie sat on the hospital bed. "Where is Cen Shi?"

"He went to park the car."

"Doesn't he mind you coming to see me?"

"He knows the person I love is him, so he won't get jealous."

"So I pose no threat to him?" Jiang Jie mocked himself. "Beware, I might snatch you back."

"Would you want to snatch me back from Cen Shi's hands?" Yu Si joked with him. "Actually, if you had rushed to the courthouse back then to stop our notarized marriage, maybe..."

Because there was conversation inside the semi-open hospital room, Bai Bai Ziling didn't push the door open immediately. Plus, hearing Jiang Jie's voice, he didn't sound like he was on his deathbed, so she lingered outside the room. She knew listening in was wrong, but she couldn't help it.

"Would you leave him and run to me?" Jiang Jie asked with a smile.

"It's possible."

"Really?!"

"Who told you not to appear and stop me?" Yu Si winked at him. "I have feelings for you too."

"You should have said so sooner."

"You've always been too confident, thinking no man in the world could be stronger than you, so I should have been a cooked duck. But Jiang Jie, women need coaxing and need the attention of the man they love. If you had shown more of your care back then, I wouldn't have..." Yu Si was joking with Jiang Jie before Cen Shi arrived.

"Then if I change now, do we still have a chance?" Jiang Jie asked deliberately humbly.

"Yes! Of course we do!" Yu Si responded, pretending to be flattered.

Covering her mouth with her hand, Bai Bai Ziling forbade herself from crying. She turned around. Originally she was walking, but driven by a desire to escape "heartbreak," she started running, and tears poured out uncontrollably.

"Si Qi, aren't you afraid Cen Shi will divorce you for saying such things?"

"He's not here."

"So you were just teasing me?"

"Didn't you just say whatever came to mind? Why did you have a car accident this time?" Yu Si suddenly asked seriously, "Your driving skills have always been first-class!"

"Rain and slippery roads." Jiang Jie answered vaguely.

"That's just one reason. What else?"

"I... wasn't focused."

"Why? You were driving on a mountain road in heavy rain and dared not focus? Are you joking with your own life?" she said angrily.

"Si Qi, have a little sympathy, okay?"

"You are not worth sympathy."

"You'll make my injuries worse."

"You don't have any 'injuries' at all!"

Just as they were bickering, Cen Shi entered. He was a gentle man with an artistic aura, not aggressive, lacking domineering power, but his eyes were very deep.

Cen Shi nodded to Jiang Jie. He had always felt apologetic toward this cool man, but since Jiang Jie hadn't sought trouble with him and had no entanglement with Si Qi, basically they had no connection.

"Thank you for coming to see me." Jiang Jie said without any resentment.

"It's the least I could do."

"Si Qi has never regretted her choice. This point... I have to admire you." He had no more knots in his heart; perhaps Heaven's arrangement had its own reason.

"I just loved her as best I could." Cen Shi said simply.

"Cen Shi..." Yu Si was so moved her eyes were slightly wet.

"Don't cry out; I just saw a beautiful woman crying and running away!" Cen Shi joked, looking at his wife with eyes full of affection.

Yu Si immediately beamed with joy.

But Jiang Jie's reaction was different. He was as if suddenly electrocuted, his breath almost stopped, and he immediately looked at Cen Shi with worry and tension.

"You said you saw a beautiful woman crying and running away?! Are, you, sure?" Jiang Jie's nervous voice trembled.

"Yes! I saw her run away from the door. She was beautiful, stunning, making one unable to help but look twice!"

"Cen Shi, you actually..." Yu Si pretended to be angry.

"She cried like a tear-soaked doll, which is why she caught my attention."

"No!" she pouted coquettishly.

But Jiang Jie had no mood to listen to their flirting. Amidst the surprised low exclamations of Cen Shi and Yu Si, he jumped off the hospital bed and rushed out of the room. It must be Bai Bai Ziling, but why was she crying and running away?

Why?

She didn't know whose arms she had crashed into, but Bai Bai Ziling didn't care; at this moment, she cared about nothing.

"Bai Bai Ziling..." Di Di Zhiwei supported her shoulder, his face full of pain. "It was my cousin who..."

"I hope he goes to hell!" she spat viciously. "Why did you call me?" she demanded through tears, glaring at him. "What does his car accident have to do with me?"

"But I thought..."

"Who asked you to meddle!" She collapsed weeping into Di Di Zhiwei's arms. "He's been playing me; from the very first day until now, not a single moment of his was sincere."

"No way?"

"I actually thought..." Bai Bai Ziling pressed her face against his chest, sobbing uncontrollably. "It turns out there's already another woman in his heart; even though she's married, he still..."

"Which woman are you talking about?" Di Di Zhiwei truly knew nothing about it.

"I hate him!"

"Bai Bai Ziling, there might be a misunderstanding here; my cousin, he..."

"Don't you dare mention that heartless man again!"

"Crying like this..." Di Di Zhiwei neither knew whether to hold her nor push her away; he could only gently embrace her shoulders. He had never encountered such a situation, never met a woman weeping so heartbrokenly. What exactly had Bai Bai Ziling seen, and where was his cousin?

Speak of the devil, and he shall appear. Witnessing this scene, Jiang Jie's heart instantly froze to ice. As expected, Bai Bai Ziling had come to see him; this tableau at the hospital entrance truly drove him mad.

"Let go of her!" Jiang Jie roared commandingly.

Di Di Zhiwei merely shrugged, feigning innocence; after all, the beauty had thrown herself into his arms—he hadn't wanted this either!

Half out of spite, half determined to make him give up hope, Bai Bai Ziling clung even tighter to Di Di Zhiwei, striking a pose of defiance.

"On what grounds do you order him to let go of me?" Bai Bai Ziling secretly wiped away her tears, turned around, and deliberately smiled sweetly.

"Bai Ziling, have you misunderstood something?"

"What do you think I've misunderstood?"

"I don't know what you've misunderstood, but I advise you to let go of Di Zhiwei immediately, or else..."
