Chapter 401: Chapter 0401: It’s Just That Ruoxi Is Too Charming
As noon approached, Ye Xunhuan left the company and drove toward the hospital.
Perhaps due to expensive medical fees, even during the day, this private hospital was still very quiet, not at all comparable to the public hospitals in the city!
Although quiet, it was more suitable for patients to recuperate, without any noise or clamor, like an idyllic haven!
Ye Xunhuan made his way to Qiu Ruoxi’s ward as if he had done it many times before, and seeing the door open with voices coming from inside, he walked closer and saw it was an old acquaintance, Xu Mingzhe!
"Ruoxi, look at you, how did you get sick and not say a word to me!" Xu Mingzhe said with a tinge of heartache as he looked at Qiu Ruoxi: "If I didn’t know some people in this hospital, I probably still wouldn’t know you were sick!"
"I know, you’re strong-willed and heavily career-focused, but you have to take care of your health, your body is your capital for the revolution!"
Xu Mingzhe’s face was filled with sincerity!
"Ruoxi, or should I ask them to arrange the best VIP ward for you, where you can have professional personal care, you might recover even faster!"
Leaning against a white pillow, Qiu Ruoxi’s aloof and fair face looked out the window into the sky and said in a measured tone, "No need, thank you for coming to see me."
"Ruoxi, you’re treating me like an outsider with that remark. If I weren’t so busy recently, I would actually hope to spend more time in the hospital with you, to chat with you, to ease your boredom, and to allow you to relax completely..."
Qiu Ruoxi appeared as if she hadn’t heard Xu Mingzhe at all, staring out the window in a daze!
Meanwhile, Wang Ma, who was tidying up in the corner, sensing the awkward atmosphere in the ward, hurriedly poured a glass of water for Xu Mingzhe: "Mr. Xu, please have some water!"
Having said that, Wang Ma was about to hand over the glass of water to Xu Mingzhe.
But at the next moment, Wang Ma saw Ye Xunhuan standing at the door, and a look of joy immediately spread across her face: "Son-in-law, you’ve come!" n𝚘vp𝚞𝚋.com
Upon hearing Wang Ma, Ye Xunhuan’s face was filled with helplessness, he had been trying to signal to Wang Ma not to call him son-in-law, but Wang Ma hadn’t noticed.
Chances were that even if she had noticed, she might not have understood what he meant.
Well, now he couldn’t get the upper hand over Xu Mingzhe in secret anymore.
When Xu Mingzhe heard Wang Ma, he also turned his head to look at the door, and his expression froze slightly when he saw Ye Xunhuan!
Especially after considering Wang Ma’s reference to Ye Xunhuan, Xu Mingzhe seemed to understand something in an instant!
"Wang Ma, just now you called him..."
"Son-in-law!" Wang Ma said cheerfully: "Mr. Xu, he is my young mistress’s husband, our son-in-law!"
Though Xu Mingzhe had already guessed the answer, his face still stiffened a bit after hearing Wang Ma’s words.
At this time, Qiu Ruoxi in bed also turned her head to look at Ye Xunhuan, curious to see how this bastard would handle it!
"Brother Ming Zhe, long time no see!" Ye Xunhuan said to Xu Mingzhe with a grin, no trace of awkwardness on his face!
"Indeed, it has been a few days!" Xu Mingzhe looked at Ye Xunhuan with a forced smile, a glint of gloom in his eyes.
Although Xu Mingzhe had long suspected that Ye Xunhuan was no ordinary person, he had not expected Ye Xunhuan to be Qiu Ruoxi’s husband.
This son of a bitch had played him in other ways, which was one thing, but to have played him about this matter as well, filled him with an unprecedented fury.
At this moment, he felt as if he were nothing more than a performing clown on stage, full of pride, unaware that in the eyes of others, he was just a joke.
This feeling filled the always arrogant Xu Mingzhe with an overwhelming fury!
"I didn’t expect Young Master Xu to be so concerned about my wife. She’s only just been hospitalized and you already knew!" Ye Xunhuan was well aware that Xu Mingzhe was feeling bitter.
This kind of situation, placed on the shoulders of someone like Xu Mingzhe, or anyone for that matter, would be hard to swallow.
Who likes to be manipulated like a fool by others?
"Brother Ye, you know me, I’ve always been pursuing Qiu Ruoxi. When I heard she was sick, I was naturally very anxious," Xu Mingzhe put everything out in the open, "I just didn’t expect that Brother Ye had already become husband and wife with Ruoxi!"
The word ’husband and wife’ was almost bitten off and forced through Xu Mingzhe’s gritted teeth.
"Don’t be angry, Young Master Xu!" Ye Xunhuan slowly walked over to Xu Mingzhe: "I know you’re very angry and annoyed with me!"
"But this isn’t my fault either!"
While speaking, Ye Xunhuan let out a slight sigh, turning his gaze to Qiu Ruoxi, who was enjoying the drama: "Brother Xu, don’t blame me for being heartless; it’s just that Ruoxi is too enchanting!"
"I just couldn’t control the primal force inside me, dammit!"
Xu Mingzhe nearly spewed out a mouthful of blood upon hearing Ye Xunhuan’s words.
Meanwhile, Qiu Ruoxi’s face rarely showed a hint of shyness like that of a little girl’s and she slowly bowed her head.
What is this jerk talking about, making it seem like she had something going on with Xu Mingzhe before, and he snatched her away from Xu Mingzhe!
But she had to admit, the last thing her "cheap" husband said wasn’t bad—she indeed was enchanting!
"Moreover, Brother Xu, I was already married to Ruoxi before I met you, so it’s not quite right to blame me for not being a man," Ye Xunhuan said blandly, "If anyone is to blame, it’s because Ruoxi is too enchanting, so much so that even you, Brother Xu, have fallen for her!"
How could Xu Mingzhe not understand the implication behind Ye Xunhuan’s words?
The bastard was clearly insinuating that by setting his sights on Qiu Ruoxi, he was trying to steal Xu’s wife, calling him heartless!
Even though Wang Ma was up in years, she could still smell the gunpowder between Ye Xunhuan and Xu Mingzhe.
Xu Mingzhe managed to squeeze out a forced smile on his stiff face: "Ruoxi is indeed enchanting!"
The next moment, Xu Mingzhe turned to look at Qiu Ruoxi on the hospital bed, and said to her, "Ruoxi, you take good care of yourself. I have some things to attend to, so I’ll be leaving first. I’ll come to visit you another day!"
Right then, Xu Mingzhe couldn’t wait to leave that place for even a second longer, fearful that he might not be able to resist the urge to lash out at Ye Xunhuan.
As soon as he had spoken, Xu Mingzhe didn’t wait for Qiu Ruoxi’s reaction and headed straight for the door.
"Brother Xu, why the rush? Let me walk you out..."
Xu Mingzhe really wanted to kick Ye Xunhuan, this little shit...
After Xu Mingzhe left the ward and arrived downstairs, he took a deep breath, then fished out a cigarette from his pocket, lit it for himself, and took several deep drags before slowly suppressing the anger in his heart: "Ye Xunhuan, you dammit played me, I tolerated it, but now you dare to toy with me, you’re going to pay a painful price for this!"
"Hey, Young Master, did that Ye kid screw with you again?"
