Jian Mubai was admitted to a VIP ward. Since he had saved Shen Ke Qin, Shen Chi Yan would naturally not let him stay in a general ward.
Shen Ke Qin did not dare to leave his side until Jian Mubai woke up.
She stayed by Jian Mubai's bedside in the ward, her eyes red like a little rabbit's.
It had only been two months since Jian Mubai left the Shen family, and not only had he lost weight, but he had also been hospitalized twice.
Lin Zhuyin had also not left the hospital. She went to handle the admission procedures for Jian Mubai and purchase all his daily necessities.
Shen Liubai did not bring his phone when he entered the laboratory.
When he came out of the laboratory and saw the missed call from Xi Ruxue, he worried that something had happened and immediately called back. It was then that he learned about Shen Ke Qin's kidnapping.
Before he could ask what had happened, his phone ran out of battery and shut down. Without further thought, he immediately changed out of his work clothes and rushed to the hospital.
When he arrived at the hospital in a hurry, he encountered Lin Zhuyin before he could even see Shen Ke Qin.
They met in the elevator. As Lin Zhuyin was returning to the ward with various forms, she looked up and saw Shen Liubai in the elevator.
She instinctively stopped. Her small face, flushed from rushing, changed slightly the moment she saw Shen Liubai.
At that moment, an elderly woman in the elevator called out, "Hey, are you going to get in or not?"
"I..."
Lin Zhuyin took a step back, unsure how to face Shen Liubai. Just as she was considering taking the next elevator, Shen Liubai's clear voice suddenly rang out, "Come in."
Lin Zhuyin took a deep breath. Since he didn't seem to mind, if she continued to be overly cautious, it would appear too affected.
Besides, it was just sharing an elevator. Shen Liubai had probably heard that Shen Ke Qin was in the hospital and rushed over.
As she entered the elevator, Lin Zhuyin wanted to hide in a corner but realized there were people behind her. She had no choice but to stand at the very front.
The VIP ward of the hospital was on the 32nd floor.
As people got off at various floors, fewer people remained the higher they went. By the 20th floor, only Lin Zhuyin and Shen Liubai were left.
By this time, Lin Zhuyin had slowly moved to the back of the elevator as other people got off.
Despite this, she still kept her head down, not daring to look at Shen Liubai.
Neither of them spoke, and the atmosphere was heavy and awkward.
Just two months ago, they were the closest of couples, and now they were like strangers, which was truly regrettable.
"Do you know which floor Qin Qin is on?"
Suddenly, Shen Liubai's clear voice sounded faintly.
Lin Zhuyin was startled. Didn't Shen Liubai know that Qin Qin's neck had only a minor scratch and she wasn't hospitalized?
"Qin Qin is fine. Mubai was injured and is hospitalized. She's staying with Mubai."
Shen Liubai had only heard from Xi Ruxue on the phone that Shen Ke Qin had been kidnapped and was at the People's Hospital...
Because he hadn't heard the rest of the conversation, he didn't know what had happened. Hearing Lin Zhuyin say this, he vaguely guessed what had occurred.
After that, he didn't say anything else.
When the elevator reached the 32nd floor, he got out first, then waited for Lin Zhuyin to come out and lead the way.
Lin Zhuyin silently got off the elevator and walked towards Jian Mubai's ward. Shen Liubai followed her.
Shen Chi Yan was on the phone outside the ward. Seeing Shen Liubai and Lin Zhuyin arrive together, he raised his eyebrows slightly.
Watching Lin Zhuyin enter the ward, he smiled at Shen Liubai and asked, "Why are you here?"
"Why didn't you call me when Qin Qin had an accident?"
Shen Liubai's tone was not accusatory, only worried.
Shen Chi Yan replied, "Telling you would only cause more people to worry. Besides, Qin Qin is fine now."
"Where is she?"
"Inside, staying with Jian Mubai."
Upon hearing this, Shen Liubai's handsome brows furrowed. Shen Chi Yan saw his expression and knew what he was thinking.
He walked over and patted his shoulder, saying, "It's what you're thinking."
Shen Liubai immediately said, "No, Jian Mubai is not good enough for Qin Qin."
"That's natural. No one is good enough for our little princess. But who asked our little princess to only like him?"
A brother knows his sister best.
Shen Liubai was not blind; how could he not see that Shen Ke Qin's feelings for Jian Mubai were different?
She had known Jian Mubai since she was twelve. In the past ten years, she had spent more time with Jian Mubai than with him, her brother.
Perhaps his sister had never realized that the way she looked at Jian Mubai was completely different from how she looked at others.
"Let's not talk about Qin Qin. How did you end up coming up with Lin Zhuyin?"
Shen Liubai's expression was indifferent. "We ran into each other downstairs."
"Is that so? Two months after your divorce, how does it feel to see your ex-wife again?"
Shen Liubai looked at Shen Chi Yan with a hint of coolness in his eyes. "I didn't expect the president of the prestigious Ding Sheng Group to be so gossipy."
Shen Chi Yan shrugged. "If it were anyone else's gossip, I wouldn't care, but you're my brother... Ah, right, I heard you were on a blind date with Gao Ruolan, the daughter of the Zhou family. What? Have you moved on so quickly from your last relationship?"
Shen Liubai glanced at the ward before speaking.
Jian Mubai woke up at eleven o'clock that night.
Shen Ke Qin had been waiting expectantly for him to wake up. Sensing Jian Mubai's finger move, she realized he was about to wake up. She quickly left the ward without letting Jian Mubai see her.
Upon reaching the hospital entrance, perhaps still shaken, Shen Ke Qin clung to Song Qinian.
Shen Chi Yan, thinking of the trauma Shen Ke Qin had caused him during her stay at his house last time, put Shen Ke Qin into Shen Liubai's car.
"Brother, Qin Qin is in your care. Spend some good time with her."
Shen Liubai nodded. As he was about to get into the car, Shen Chi Yan's voice rang out again, "It's been unstable outside these past few days. There have been many incidents of single women being robbed and assaulted when they go out. Don't go out unless it's necessary."
Shen Chi Yan's words seemed to be directed at Shen Ke Qin, but also at Shen Liubai.
"And Shen Ke Qin, if you ever go to places like Jin Se again, I'll break your legs!"
Shen Ke Qin knew she was wrong and only dared to nod without defiance.
After watching the two leave, Shen Chi Yan and Song Qinian got into their car.
Song Qinian still felt a sense of lingering fear. She sighed wistfully, "What do you think will happen to them?"
As soon as she finished speaking, Shen Chi Yan cupped Song Qinian's small face. "Don't frown. Instead of worrying about others, worry more about your husband."
Song Qinian felt a little helpless; this guy was jealous all the time.
"But you don't need to worry. Those who are meant to be together will not be separated, no matter how great the difficulties and tribulations they face, just like us."
Song Qinian smiled and nodded. "Mmm."
"Oh, right..." Shen Chi Yan suddenly remembered something.
"Mmm? What is it?"
"Guan Yang and Sheng Jiaojiao's wedding date has been set for the sixth of next month."
Song Qinian's face changed drastically. "What?"
