Mu Jingzhe was shocked to see Xiao Wu. “No, Xiao Wu, why are you sleeping here? When did you come?”

“After you fell asleep last night. I felt more at ease sleeping here.” Xiao Wu hadn’t slept well last night. He yawned and touched Mu Jingzhe’s forehead. When he realized that she wasn’t having a fever, he picked up his pillow and blanket and got ready to leave.

“Sleeping on the floor is not good.” Mu Jingzhe was touched and heartbroken. “You could have slept on the bed. The bed is wide enough.”

“It’s summer. It’s fine. Otherwise, I would have woken you up.”

Just as they finished washing up, there was a knock on the door. Ji Buwang had brought green bean soup and buns over. He had made them himself.

“You should drink more green bean soup today, in case you get a heat stroke.”

“Thank you, Uncle.”

“Thank you.” Mu Jingzhe also thanked him.

“It’s fine. I want to eat some anyway. You have to tell me if you feel unwell.”

“I just suffered a heat stroke. It’s not a serious illness. You guys are too nervous.” Mu Jingzhe felt that other than the fact that she was feeling a little weak, there was nothing wrong with her.

However, Ji Buwang and Xiao Wu were still worried. Firstly, Mu Jingzhe had been in good health for the past two years and had rarely fallen sick. This sudden illness was worrying. Secondly, Mu Jingzhe’s complexion had yet to recover.

Therefore, after breakfast, Xiao Wu didn’t feel at ease and didn’t want to go to the rehearsal. He stayed by Mu Jingzhe’s side until she finally convinced Xiao Wu to go. Ji Buwang said that he would see Xiao Wu off and asked Mu Jingzhe to rest.

This time, Mu Jingzhe didn’t argue and let Ji Buwang take Xiao Wu over.

Not long after the two of them went out, for some reason, Mu Jingzhe started to feel unwell again. The feeling she’d had yesterday came again. She felt weak, nauseous, and even more unwell than yesterday.

Thinking back, she seemed to have started feeling unwell after eating yesterday. “Could it be a stomach problem?”

She still had some of that prescribed medicine. Mu Jingzhe quickly had some, but she vomited the moment she did. After she vomited, her head was covered in cold sweat, and all the strength in her body seemed to have been sucked away. Besides, Mu Jingzhe didn’t know if it was her imagination, but she felt like she had a slight fever.

“Why has it gotten even worse… I’ve got to go to the hospital again.”

She had already recovered, but for some reason, she had relapsed. After Mu Jingzhe packed up, she felt that she didn’t even have the strength to go to the hospital.

As she hesitated, the doorbell rang. Mu Jingzhe’s eyes lit up as she supported herself against the wall to open the door. “Ji Buwang…”

Just nice. She could ask him to take her to the hospital again. Although she would trouble him again, she couldn’t care less about it now.

When she opened the door, she realized that it wasn’t Ji Buwang, but Jiang Feng. His expression was dark.

Disappointment flashed across Mu Jingzhe’s heart when she saw Jiang Feng. She was also very surprised. Although his face was filled with hostility, she still greeted him with difficulty. “Jiang Feng, what’s the matter? Come in quickly.”

Jiang Feng stood outside the door and didn’t move. He looked at Mu Jingzhe and sneered. “You can still smile? You’re really thick-skinned. Do you think I didn’t hear you call ‘Ji Buwang’ just now?”

Back then, he had really been blind. If he had known that this would happen, he might as well not have persuaded Brother Hai. It would have been better to let Mu Jingzhe remarry. It would have been better than the way things were now.

The smile on Mu Jingzhe’s face faded, and she suppressed a wave of discomfort. “Jiang Feng, I’m being polite by treating you nicely every single time. It doesn’t mean that you can be impudent. If you have anything to say, just say it. There’s no need to be sarcastic.”

“You still dare be so self-righteous even now? Mu Jingzhe, do you think no one knows about your ugly deeds? Let me tell you something. I saw. I saw Ji Buwang leave your house early in the morning!

“I even saw you two shamelessly ride a bicycle outside together yesterday. You even hugged Ji Buwang!”

Jiang Feng was furious. Since he had watched that scene yesterday, his heart had been on fire. He hadn’t been able to fall asleep last night because that scene had been stuck in his mind. This was why he had come over early in the morning. He had originally wanted to verify it, thinking that he had perhaps been overthinking. In the end, he had seen Ji Buwang leave Mu Jingzhe’s house.

Based on their conversation, they ate breakfast and raised Xiao Wu together. It seemed like they were living the life of a married couple.

Jiang Feng was furious and disappointed. Shao Qihai had raised Xiao Wu. In the end, Xiao Wu had turned out to be an ingrate. Now that he was closer to the Ji Family, he didn’t even say anything when he saw that Mu Jingzhe had let Shao Qihai down.

In the end, Jiang Feng still got a divorce. He had grown increasingly intolerant of extramarital affairs. He looked at Mu Jingzhe as if he wanted to eat her up.

Mu Jingzhe was a little helpless when she heard Jiang Feng’s accusation. She and Shao Qihai had already signed the divorce agreement, but Jiang Feng had no idea. She didn’t know why Shao Qihai hadn’t explained this to Jiang Feng. “Jiang Feng, it’s not what you think. I didn’t let Shao Qihai down. Shao Qihai and I have already agreed to get a divorce. The divorce agreement…”

“Can a divorce resolve all the problems caused by an affair? I’ve seen shameless people, but I’ve never seen anyone as shameless as you! If that’s not letting Shao Qihai down, what is?!” Jiang Feng interrupted Mu Jingzhe, sounding furious.

For the first time in his life, he felt that the inhumane act of drowning promiscuous women in the olden days was a good thing. At least, it had prevented them from being so brazen and shameless.

His ex-wife and Mu Jingzhe were the same!

Mu Jingzhe was a little frustrated when she heard Jiang Feng’s accusation. She felt like she really had a fever. Her palms were sweating, and her abdomen was starting to hurt. She could only take a deep breath and explain.

“Jiang Feng, when you saw me hug Ji Buwang yesterday, it was because I was sick and wasn’t feeling well. He was taking me to the hospital to see a doctor. This morning, Ji Buwang did leave my house, but he didn’t stay at my house overnight. He only bought breakfast so we could eat together.”

“Only bought breakfast so you could eat together? Who knows if you two were fooling around and being sick is just an excuse. Do you think being sick excuses everything? In the future, if I catch you hugging each other, will it be because you’re sick again?”

Mu Jingzhe’s words had coincidentally found Jiang Feng’s sore spot.

The first time Jiang Feng’s wife had been caught cheating, she and the adulterer had been hugging. At the time, she had also claimed that she wasn’t feeling well. Jiang Feng had foolishly believed them. In the end, he had realized how stupid he had been.

“Do all women in the world use being sick as an excuse?”

“I’m not looking for an excuse. I’m really unwell. Besides, I’m very unwell even now. I just vomited. I’m preparing to go to the hospital.”

Mu Jingzhe held back her discomfort and explained. “If you don’t believe me, you’ll know if you go to the hospital with me. I happen to have no strength now. Can you accompany me to the hospital?”

Although Jiang Feng had misunderstood, this was still better than being taken to the hospital by a stranger. Mu Jingzhe felt increasingly unwell. She couldn’t tell if it was her abdomen or her stomach, but the indistinct pain was starting to turn sharp. She directly asked Jiang Feng for help and grabbed his arm. “I feel weak all over. Just take me…”

Before Mu Jingzhe could finish speaking, Jiang Feng had already flung her hand away. “You really disgust me. Instead of repenting, you even want to seduce me? You feel weak all over? Heh… Do you think I’m blind? You’re pretending to be weak to lie to me!”

Mu Jingzhe almost fell to the ground from the pain. “I’m not. I really don’t have any strength. You could help me call someone…”

As Jiang Feng looked at Mu Jingzhe, his mind was filled with thoughts of Mu Jingzhe’s Herculean strength. He increasingly felt that her pretentiousness was disgusting. Unable to take it anymore, he slapped Mu Jingzhe.

“I’m slapping you on behalf of Brother Hai!”
