Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Since the last business banquet, Qin Zhen’s patience with Ling Bing’er had been completely exhausted. His growing aversion was evident as he responded to her words with a curt ‘Hmm’.

Ling Bing’er could naturally sense his mood and, upon glancing at Wei Jiu’er, she hesitated. Wei Jiu’er gave her an encouraging look.

Ling Bing’er had no choice but to muster up some courage and speak, “Brother, I heard from Aunt that she agrees to your marriage with Jiu’er. So, what are your plans?” Today, Wei Jiu’er had asked her to inquire about their marriage in a roundabout way, and she had no intention of doing so. After all, she was well aware of Qin Zhen’s current displeasure toward her. However, she could not ignore the fact that if Wei Jiu’er became her sister-in-law, she would need her assistance in many ways, so she reluctantly came.

Qin Zhen did not answer her question directly but instead turned to Wei Jiu’er and asked, “Did you ask her to talk to me about this?”

Wei Jiu’er hadn’t expected Qin Zhen to be so perceptive. Her face turned pale, and she bit her lip, her eyes welling up with tears. “No, I didn’t. I didn’t know that Bing’er was coming to talk about this…” She hadn’t anticipated that Qin

Zhen would no longer trust her in such trivial matters. It seemed that bringing Ling Bing’er here had been a misstep.

Ling Bing’er quickly chimed in, “I came here on my own, it has nothing to do with Sister Jiu’er. I just couldn’t help but ask a few questions when I heard Aunt had softened her stance…

After hearing their explanations, Qin Zhen simply said, “Let’s discuss this again after I’m discharged.”

Both of them nodded and did not dare to say anything further.

Due to the Project Suburb One project, the stock of the Shen Corporation had been on the rise for a while. However, Shen Qingyue was not particularly delighted. Given the current financial strength of the Shen Corporation, fully acquiring the Project Suburb One project was proving to be a bit challenging. So, from the moment they won the bid until now, she had been searching for potential partners.

In theory, the Project Suburb One project is a guaranteed profit, and anyone with a discerning eye can see that it should be a target for major companies to compete for. However, it’s been almost a month now, and many interested parties seem to have gone silent one by one.

Shen Qingyue asked someone to inquire and only then did she find out that it was the doing of the Qin Group. She never expected Qin Zhen to be causing trouble even while in the hospital. She hadn’t competed with him back then, and it turns out he was lying in ambush all along. So the blood she had drawn earlier had truly gone to waste.

After receiving this information. Shen Qingvue did not hesitate and

immediately went to the hospital where Qin Zhen was staying.

It was a private hospital, and Qin Zhen was in the VIP ward, so the relevant information was kept strictly confidential. She had to exert some effort to get there. 𝘣𝑒𝘥𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝑙．𝘤𝘰𝘮

A young nurse recognized Shen Qingyue and knew she was the one who had donated blood to Qin Zhen that day. She felt a twinge of sympathy and asked, “Miss Shen, are you here to see Mr. Qin?”

Shen Qingyue replied, “Yes, can you please tell me which room he’s in? I need to speak with him.”

After a moment of thought, the nurse discreetly told her.

Shen Qingyue thanked her and, when she reached the door of the ward, she saw Qin Zhen half-lying down, dealing with some work. She tapped on the glass, made eye contact with Qin Zhen, and then walked in.

Now, she could see Qin Zhen clearly. His head was wrapped in bandages, his face was pale, and there were layers of bandages around his chest. Because his hospital gown was not buttoned up all the way, some of the bandages were exposed.

Shen Qingyue had known Qin Zhen for over a decade but had never seen him so vulnerable. In the past, she might have teared up at the sight of him. But now, her eyes were calm, like a tranquil pond.

Qin Zhen hadn’t been in a good mood for the past few days. He could not sleep at night due to the pain from his injuries, and he had to keep an eye on the company’s urgent matters. It had been a long time since he faced such difficulties. The last time was when the Qin Group almost went bankrupt.

For some inexplicable reason, seeing Shen Qingyue made him forget all these emotions in an instant. During this time in the hospital, he had felt like something was missing, and now that Shen Qingyue was here, he finally realized what it was.

For the past decade or so, except for the summer vacation after their high school graduation, every time he was sick, Shen Qingyue would be there to take care of him.

But this time, she wasn’t.

For so many days, she hadn’t even said a word of greeting. She had completely excluded him from her life. She was ruthless, able to let go so easily. The speed at which she had let go even made him wonder how genuine her feelings for him had been back then.

A bitter emotion welled up in his heart, and it hurt even more than his physical injuries.. He watched as Shen Qingyue approached the bedside and couldn’t help but make a sarcastic remark, “Visiting a patient empty-handed? Is the

Shen family going bankrupt?”
