“Are you just going to leave like this?” Luo Chenwei stretched her neck and looked at the man in the passenger seat. “Listen to me, as a man, you shouldn’t be too reserved. When you meet a woman you like, you should be shameless and brave to pursue her! You’re already at a disadvantage, if you’re this subtle, no matter how good-looking you are, she won’t notice you. You should understand this. Weren’t you classmates with her before? You didn’t develop any feelings, which proves that your silent guarding strategy doesn’t work. You need to change your approach…”

Zhang Jianci, who was driving, chuckled. “Kid, do you really understand anything? Brother Ming can go out and just stand there without saying a word, and he’ll still attract a bunch of girls who want to exchange contact information with him! His looks and charisma are top-notch.”

“Those women are shallow, not like my sister-in-law, Young Miss Shen,” Luo Chenwei snorted. “My sister-in-law clearly has taste and substance. Picking a man isn’t just about looks; there are plenty of good-looking people out there…”

“That’s not necessarily true. If she wasn’t into looks, she wouldn’t have fallen for someone like Qin Zhen…” Zhang Jianci stopped halfway through his sentence and quickly checked Chi Ming’s expression. Seeing that Chi Ming did not react, he relaxed. But he was annoyed with himself for speaking without thinking. However, Brother Ming has been acting a bit distant toward Miss Shen these past few days. It’s different from being shameless. Could something have happened in the hospital last time?

Zhang Jianci did not dare to think further and changed the topic. “By the way,

Wei Wei, is there anything unusual happening in Country M?”

“A few major shareholders have been clamoring for Brother Ming to return and take charge, but I handled it. Nothing major. I think they’ve just made a lot of money and are starting to cause trouble. They didn’t make a fuss when Brother Ming was out of contact for half a year.” Luo Chenwei shifted the focus of the conversation. “On the other hand, Wang Kaili has come to see Brother Ming a few times. I barely managed to brush her off. But that woman is smart; she’ll probably figure out that Brother Ming has news soon and has returned to the country. She’ll definitely come after him.”

Chi Ming, who had been silent the entire time, suddenly said, “Stop her, don’t let her near me!”

Luo Chenwei nodded and replied, “Understood.”

After returning home, Shen Qingyue quickly washed up and went to sleep. When she woke up the next morning, she and Tang Fangmo were once again trending on social media. Along with that, there were photos of her and Chi Ming chatting in the hallway.

Netizens automatically imagined a melodramatic love story between them, marketing accounts sought to grab attention and generate traffic, intentionally steering the conversation in that direction. As a result, the trending topic gained even more momentum.

Shen Qingyue looked at the messages on her phone, feeling both exasperated and amused. She knew that Tang Fangmo’s assurances were worthless!

[I also want to be the female lead in a drama! Sigh, it’s another day of envying rich women!]

[Wasn’t there news yesterday that Qin Zhen was hospitalized due to a car accident? Does Shen Qingyue really not care about her former husband at all?]

[Why should she care about her ex-husband? Seriously, if she cared, would he still be an ex-husband? A proper ex should stay out of sight, like they’re dead.]

[Suddenly, I’m picturing Qin Zhen, wrapped up like a mummy in the hospital, seeing his ex-wife with another man… Although it’s unethical, it’s kind of funny.]

[Thinking about it, when he went out with his lover, he probably didn’t think about his ex-wife, did he?]

Qin Zhen had just finished his examination and was feeling sore all over as he was moved back to his bed. He was already in a bad mood when he picked up his phone to distract himself, only to be greeted by a link sent by Ling Bing’er.

Clicking on it, he saw the pictures of Shen Qingyue and Chi Ming.

Qin Zhen almost threw his phone in anger. He was hospitalized, narrowly escaping death, and this woman did not care about him at all. She was out there with someone else… He swiped and scrolled a couple of times, becoming increasingly agitated. In frustration, he tossed the phone aside. Unfortunately, he miscalculated the force, and it slid off the bed, landing on the floor. Wei Jiu’er and Ling Bing’er happened to enter the room with breakfast at that moment.

Wei Jiu’er noticed the phone on the floor and hurriedly picked it up. “Did your phone just fall? Are you okay? Does your hand still hurt?” She glanced at the still-active screen. It was Shen Qingyue’s trending topic. Suddenly, her grip on the phone tightened.

Qin Zhen, preoccupied with the trending posts about Shen Qingyue, did not notice her reaction. He absentmindedly replied, “It fell by accident, I’m fine.”

Ling Bing’er, seemingly oblivious to Wei Jiu’er’s expression, sat down beside

Qin Zhen and said, “Brother, I heard you almost didn’t make it this time.. It was

Sister Jiu’er who donated blood and saved your life, right?”
