Chapter 119 Hot and Cold

Mu Yinyin closed her eyes again. Even though she had regained some clarity in her current state, she felt truly uncomfortable.

In fact...

She desperately wanted to let go of her sanity and pounce on Fu Siye.

She had no idea how long she could endure this semi-conscious state if she didn't take the medicine.

The female doctor quickly prepared the medication. She approached Mu Yinyin, looked at both of them, and confirmed again, "Once this medicine is injected, it's final. Madam, have you truly considered this?"

"I have," Mu Yinyin replied without hesitation.

Fu Siye's expression grew increasingly grim.

Yet, he remained silent.

Seeing this, the doctor said no more and proceeded with the injection.

She had already explained the effects: dizziness and unconsciousness due to the medication. Thus, after maintaining consciousness for a brief period, Mu Yinyin once again slipped into unconsciousness.

Fu Siye frowned and asked in a deep voice, "When will she wake up?"

The female doctor, still feeling a bit nervous, responded cautiously, "Her condition is much like falling asleep. She will wake up naturally tomorrow. Without an alarm, it will be her own biological clock."

"You live next door. Don't leave until you're sure she's alright," Fu Siye said without even glancing at the doctor. His gaze was fixed on Mu Yinyin, who had fallen into a deep sleep.

The female doctor acknowledged with a sound and dared not think further. She knew she would be summoned if any issues arose, so she said no more and walked out.

Soon, the room was left with only the two of them.

Fu Siye sat by the bedside, watching the woman on the bed breathing evenly as she slept.

Her exquisite face was still a little flushed, and her closed eyelashes trembled slightly, suggesting an uneasy sleep.

Noticing her subtly furrowed brow, Fu Siye reached out and smoothed the '川' character etched between her brows.

The moment he withdrew his hand, Fu Siye's expression changed drastically.

Since when did he start caring for someone like this?

For Nan Shiqing, it was because she had saved his life. But who was Mu Yinyin to him? Why was he acting this way towards her?

Fu Siye's gaze towards Mu Yinyin seemed to turn cold and sharp.

Before he could avert his eyes, his phone suddenly rang.

Fu Siye frowned slightly and looked at the caller ID.

He initially had no intention of answering, but after a moment's hesitation, he stood up, left the bedroom, walked to the living room, and took the call.

"Shiqing."

Two indifferent words, devoid of much emotion.

Nan Shiqing's hand, gripping the phone, trembled involuntarily. They hadn't contacted each other for several days, but... Fu Siye showed no signs of missing her. It was only when she sought him out that she could reach him.

Did he... never miss her?

Nan Shiqing unconsciously bit her lip, appearing somewhat sad. Finally, she spoke softly, "Siye, we haven't talked in days. I was a little worried about you."

Her voice was soft and delicate, carrying a tone of concern.

Fu Siye frowned slightly but ultimately spoke patiently, "What could happen to me? It's getting late, and you're still weak. You should rest early."

"I... I can't sleep."

She missed him so much that she couldn't sleep. Her mind was consumed by this man, and she always wanted to be with him.

But...

Fu Siye had become so capricious, oscillating between warm and cold.

Oh, no...

There was no warmth anymore.

In the past, when she was unconscious, she could at least hear his gentle and patient voice.

He would constantly tell her to wake up soon, and then they would do this or that. At that time, she was deeply moved and incredibly expectant.

However...

She realized that after she "woke up," Fu Siye's frequent comments were about her poor health and the need for proper recuperation.

In truth, she was perfectly fine, truly not a problem at all. But she couldn't express that she was fine, fearing Fu Siye's suspicion, so she could only follow his instructions and focus on recuperating.

But!

This was not the life she wanted at all.

She just wanted to be with Fu Siye. Now, all she wanted was to marry Fu Siye!

Yet...

Despite her best efforts, this man was drifting further and further away from her.

"Siye..." Nan Shiqing took a shallow breath and said with some sadness, "Do you... dislike me now?"

Even over the phone, Fu Siye could visualize Nan Shiqing lowering her head, biting her lip, appearing wronged and distressed.

His gaze paused slightly, and he slowly said, "Don't overthink things."

His voice seemed to have softened a bit more than before.

Yet, Nan Shiqing still sensed a hint of impatience from him.

She truly didn't know what to do now.

If she didn't contact him for extended periods, he would forget her existence. When necessary, she still had to find ways to make herself known.

But.

If he didn't want to see her or hear her voice, and she called, it would only make him impatient.

Just like the current situation.

If he never wanted to see her, she couldn't avoid calling him constantly.

"I'm not overthinking, Siye. Is there something I've done wrong that makes you dislike me? Please tell me, okay? I'll change. I don't want you to misunderstand me all the time..."

In the past, they had contacted each other frequently. Especially when she was hospitalized, he visited her almost every day, sometimes even more than once a day.

But now...

Now...

This drop in affection was immense. Especially after Fu Siye's divorce from Mu Yinyin, Mu Yinyin's drastic changes not only instilled fear in her but also captured Fu Siye's attention.

Of course.

If Nan Shiqing knew that Fu Siye was currently by Mu Yinyin's side, and that he had even been willing to risk his own life to counteract her poison just moments ago, she would likely go completely mad.

"Don't think too much," Fu Siye's brow furrowed even deeper, his impatience clearly evident in his eyes.

He turned around, intending to look at the person in the bedroom, but when he looked, he realized he had closed the door earlier, fearing he would disturb Mu Yinyin on the phone.

Fu Siye said indifferently, "It's getting late. You should get some rest. I'm on a business trip in country M and will see you in a few days."

"Country M?" Nan Shiqing's voice was filled with shock, but her eyes held even deeper disappointment.

He was leaving without even telling her?

"Mm," Fu Siye seemed oblivious to Nan Shiqing's distress and spoke again with a lack of patience, "Be good, get some rest. I'm hanging up. Don't let your family worry."

With that, Fu Siye actually hung up the phone.

"Hello, Siye...!" Nan Shiqing called out unwillingly, but the phone was indeed disconnected.

She instantly threw her phone in a fit of rage. The force was so great that the phone bounced on the bed.
