NovelEnglishWhen Su Qianxun woke up, she was already in her bedroom in Jin Garden. She stared at the ceiling above her. She felt extraordinarily humiliated when she recalled what that man named Si Mancheng did to her.
Just because she signed a childbirth agreement with Long Sijue, in his eyes, she had become someone who would sell herself for money!
However, when she signed the agreement with him, she was clearly just asking him to save her younger brother. She did not even ask him for a single cent!
When the door was pushed open, Su Qianxun immediately closed her eyes and pretended to be asleep. She knew that it was Long Sijue from the sound of his footsteps, but right then, she did not want to see him at all.
Long Sijue sat on the side of the bed. He lightly caressed her cheek, chin, neck, and collarbone with his large hand…
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtSu Qianxun remained immobile until his hand left her body. She felt something cold on her wrist. Long Sijue had put a wristwatch around it. He lowered his head and kissed her before he stood up and left.
Once she heard the sound of the door closing, Su Qianxun immediately raised her hand. There was a white wristwatch around her slim wrist. The special thing about the watch was the image of the lily of the valley on its face.
Su Qianxun immediately took the watch off and threw it on the bedside cabinet. Was he giving her a carrot after a stick? Well, she was not a child anymore.
Su Qianxun did not see Long Sijue at all for the next few days. She suddenly remembered that it had been a long time since he last went on a business trip, so she assumed that he was on one this time.
Su Qianxun started attending classes again after she felt a little better. Once she arrived, she found out that Su Ran had already been expelled.
“Qianxun, Su Ran has only herself to blame. You don’t have to think too much about it. Both Mimi and I believe in your character,” Ke Ran consoled her.
“I have a clear conscience when it comes to Su Ran, so there’s nothing for me to think about. I just feel like I was too blind and oblivious in the past. In the future, I’ll have to be more careful when I judge a person’s character.”
“It’s good that you can put things in this perspective.”
After classes, Su Qianxun made a detour to buy some food that her younger brother loved to eat before she headed to the hospital. She also returned the money she owed Mu Bai while she was at it.
Mu Bai flashed a wan smile as the young woman took a thousand RMB out of her wallet and held it out in front of him. “Qianxun, you don’t really have to pay me back. I don’t really need the money. Moreover, you don’t even owe me this much money.”
“This includes the money for that voice recorder. Just take it, Doctor Mu. I’ll feel uneasy if you don’t accept the money” Su Qianxun insisted on paying Doctor Mu back.
Mu Bai had no choice but to take the money.

“He’s still the same. It would have been better if you could spend more time with him or take him home. You probably already know that it’s not a good thing to leave him alone in the hospital. My time is limited as I have other patients too. Hence, he’s by himself most of the time.”
Mu Bai’s words tugged at Su Qianxun’s heartstrings. Of course she wanted to bring her brother back with her, but it was impossible for her to do so. Long Sijue would never agree to let her take her brother to Jin Garden.
“I’ll try to find more time to accompany him,” Su Qianxun replied bitterly.
Mu Bai wanted to say something, but swallowed his words when he saw how pale Su Qianxun looked.
When Su Qianxun walked into the ward, Su Jiye was about to pour himself some water. When she saw her brother’s lonesome figure, her eyes instantly reddened. She immediately walked over and said, “Let me do it.”
Su Jiye immediately withdrew his hand, as if he was scalded. He turned around and sat back down on the hospital bed with his head lowered. He remained immobile.
Su Qianxun passed the glass of water to him. Su Jiye swiftly turned away and ignored her. The young woman sighed. She knew that he was angry at her again.
