Hua Wenyin saw through Shi Xi’s perfunctory words at a glance and continued to persuade her, “I know you’re still young and want to pursue love, but love doesn’t have much of a place in marriage. Mom still hopes that you can find a man of equal status.”

Shi Xi was unwilling to talk about this matter, so she said shyly, “I’m still young and haven’t thought about marriage yet.”

“It’s precisely because you’re still young that I want to advise you not to be blinded by love. If I had listened to my family’s arrangements back then, 1 wouldn’t have… Forget it, why am I telling you this?” Hua Wenyin stopped speaking in time and gently stroked Shi Xi’s head. “Rest early. Remember, marriage and love are two different things. Love only requires the two of you to love each other.”

“However, marriage is a mutual infiltration between your two families. You must be careful and protect yourself. Alright?”

Shi Xi knew that Hua Wenyin was sincerely advising her and said seriously, “I know.”

Her career was still rising, so she couldn’t just get married and leave the industry.

Even if they were really married, it was impossible for her to leave the industry.

After coming out of Hua Wenyin’s room, Shi Xi could not help but think about it.

Hearing Hua Wenyin’s words, did she entrust her to the wrong person?

Was that why she was alone now?

Then who was her biological father?

Ever since Shi Xi returned to the Hua Manor, she had never heard of Hua Wenyin’s other half.

This topic seemed to be taboo, and no one had ever mentioned it.

Was he dead or had he married someone else?

Shi Xi had doubts in her heart and wanted to find another time to ask Hua Xuanhe.

In the dark study.

After Ning Yu diagnosed Xie Yunzhou, she said coldly, “You haven’t been doing well recently.”

Xie Yunzhou pressed his forehead. “Should we increase the dosage?”

“If you take too much of this medicine, it will harm your body.” Ning Yu thought for a moment and said, “You’ll feel more at ease if you’re by Shi Xi’s side. Perhaps, why don’t you look for her?”

“She’s been very busy recently, and I can’t let go of my work.”

Ning Yu flipped through Xie Yunzhou’s recent work and rest records and said, “You haven’t been sleeping or eating well recently.”

Xie Yunzhou nodded and said tiredly, “The medicine you prescribed me can’t suppress my headache anymore.”

“The situation is a little serious.” Ning Yu looked at him and wanted to prescribe some more medicine for him, but she stopped writing and said with a solemn expression, “I advise you to stay by Shi Xi’s side. This will be helpful to your illness. At least it will alleviate it.”

“I’m afraid I’ll hurt her.”

“Do you think you’re good to her just because you’re not by her side?” Ning Yu’s voice was cold. “Don’t underestimate Shi Xi. She’s braver than you think.”

“Is there any other treatment?” Xie Yunzhou asked.

Ning Yu saw that he was so persistent and could only say, “Then you’d better find a quiet place to recuperate.”

“Switch off your phone and stop contacting the outside world.”

Xie Yunzhou closed his eyes and leaned back in his chair, deep in thought.

At this moment, his phone vibrated.

It was Father Xie.

Seeing this call, Xie Yunzhou’s eyes darkened and he did not answer it immediately.

The phone was placed on the table, and Ning Yu saw the incoming message on the screen.

Ning Yu obviously knew something and advised, “You should know that the main reason for your illness is the Xie family’s matter.”

“If you don’t resolve the Xie family’s matter, your illness will never be cured. You can only suppress it.”

“Heart disease still needs heart medicine..”
