âThen... how did little baby come about?â
Meng Qingxue asked with great concern.
Chu Heâs gaze sharpened.
Seeing the change in her expression, Meng Qingxue immediately said, âItâs okay if you donât want to talk about it. Itâs my fault for being nosy. I shouldnât have asked so much!â
âIâm fine.â Chu He lowered her gaze, her expression frosty.
For the past few days, Chu He had been recuperating in the hospital quietly. However, Mu Yanchen had not come to the hospital or looked for her ever since the day they parted on bad terms.
In order to take care of Chu He, Meng Qingxue settled herself in the hospital. After all, her body was not in good condition and she had to get a miscarriage prevention injection every day. It was just more convenient for her to settle down in the hospital.
Within a few days, Chu He noticed her abnormality.
âWhereâs Mu Yanchen?â
She asked Meng Qingxue, âWhy hasnât he come to look for you these few days?â
Meng Qingxue was doing her laundry. When she heard her question, her expression became increasingly desolate, but she kept silent.
Chu He walked to her side and asked quietly, âDid you have a fight?â
âNo...â
âThen, what is it?â
âI made him angry,â Meng Qingxue said in frustration. âHe probably misunderstood me... Anyway, itâs complicated. I seemed to have... hit his sore spot.â
Chu He did not know what to say.
Then, she asked the critical question, âWhat do you plan to do with him?â
â...â
âI heard that he has a fiancée.â
âHow did you find out?â Meng Qingxue asked in surprise.
Narrowing her eyes, Chu He suddenly asked, âDo you know what work I used to do?â
The question stunned the other girl into silence; eventually she shook her head.
Chu He slowly moved closer to her and enunciated each word clearly, âAgent of the Intelligence Department, later on, I served at the Interpol headquarters.â
â...â
Meng Qingxue thought that she was joking and could not help but tease her. âSo powerful?â
âHmph.â
Chu He continued, âHowever, I can tell that heâs more interested in you and has no feelings for his fiancée. This man might have a bad character, but heâs not a bad person. At least, he treats you well and is sincere.â
Meng Qingxueâs expression suddenly froze. She threw her clothes into the washing area dispiritedly and muttered, âSo what?â
Chu He sized her up and suddenly smiled. âDo you know what you look like now?â
âWhat?â
âA self-loathing abandoned wife.â
â...â Meng Qingxueâs expression was extremely ugly.
âDidnât I tell you to strive for what you want? Do whatever it takes to obtain it.â
Meng Qingxue looked at her sharply.
âYou mean... you want me to compete with that woman?â
âWhatâs the problem?â Chu He threw her a sidelong glance. âYou donât dare?â
âI... itâs not that I donât dare, itâs just that I donât have the confidence.â
âLacking confidence is equivalent to not having guts.â
Chu He smiled. âAs long as you want something, you should work hard to obtain it, right? As long as you think itâs worth it, you should use any means to vie for it.â
With that, she got up, returned to the bed, and lay down straight.
Meng Qingxue continued to wash her clothes, her mind wandering aimlessly. It was not until Chu He had fallen asleep at around midnight, that she finished washing all her clothes and slowly hung them out to dry.
She returned to the ward and took out her phone. After hesitating for a long time, she finally tapped on Mu Yanchenâs number.
