After leaving his father behind, the son of a prominent figure in Beijing's elite circles has g

A table full of steaming hot food was laid out on the small round table in the ward. Lu Peichuan had brought it back from a nearby hotel, and it was all made with blood-nourishing ingredients, showing that he had put a lot of thought into it.

Lu Peichuan ladled a bowl of astragalus and black chicken soup and placed it in front of Rong Zheng. "Drink some soup first, then eat your meal."

Rong Zheng gently stirred the fragrant soup with a spoon.

Lu Peichuan reminded him from the side, "Drink slowly, be careful it's hot." Then he took the oranges he had just bought and started peeling them. Halfway through peeling, his phone rang.

Rong Zheng paused slightly as she drank the soup, a hint of anticipation flashing in her eyes.

Lu Peichuan put down the orange, wiped his hands with a tissue, took out his phone, and frowned when he saw the caller ID.

Rong Zheng caught a glimpse of the words "Manager Wang" out of the corner of her eye, and a faint smile appeared on her lips.

She used to be annoyed by those three words, but now...

Great, you've finally arrived.

"I need to take this call," Lu Peichuan said to Rong Zheng.

Rong Zheng nodded, "Mm."

Lu Peichuan got up and walked to the window to answer the phone.

Rong Zheng ate her meal with a natural expression, but her eyes were fixed on Lu Peichuan, and she kept listening to what was happening on his end.

Lu Peichuan's face darkened instantly after Su Qingya said something. He seemed to want to say something, but after glancing at her, he held back.

Finally, composing himself, he said in a detached, businesslike tone, "I understand," and hung up.

Rong Zheng: "..."

That's it?

Did Su Qingya come or not?

Lu Peichuan pondered for a few seconds by the window, then walked to Rong Zheng's side. "I'll go ask the doctor about your specific condition. Take your time eating; I'll be back in a bit."

"it is good."

Lu Peichuan stepped out of the ward.

Rong Zheng immediately put down her chopsticks, walked lightly to the door of the ward, peeked out, and saw that Lu Peichuan did not go to the doctor's office, but walked towards the elevator.

Su Qingya is here?

She immediately went back to the ward, grabbed her phone, and followed them.

The elevator arrived at the first floor.

Rong Zheng stepped out of the elevator and scanned the lobby, but couldn't see Lu Peichuan.

What about people?

He is always cautious in his actions and would probably not meet with Su Qingya in public.

Rong Zheng finally focused her gaze on the stairwell. She took the elevator to the third floor and entered the stairwell. Sure enough, she heard Lu Peichuan's voice, though it was somewhat muffled.

She tiptoed downstairs and reached the second floor. The sound was clearer then, and she could see Lu Peichuan and Su Qingya.

Lu Peichuan was coldly operating something on his phone.

Su Qingya grabbed his hand, "Don't book the plane tickets, I'm not going back."

Lu Peichuan looked up at her coldly, "Let go!"

Su Qingya shook her head, her eyes red, and said in a humble tone, "Don't send me away. I promise I won't bother you. You've been ignoring me lately. I just miss you so much. I just want to see you from afar."

Lu Peichuan pursed his lips as he looked at Su Qingya, his expression softening slightly.

Su Qingya tiptoed slightly, tentatively trying to kiss Lu Peichuan.

Rong Zheng's fingers tightened slightly as she held the phone to take the picture; she couldn't quite describe the feeling in her heart at that moment.

Don't you feel anything at all?

impossible.

She dated Lu Peichuan for two years and was married for one year. Those three years were not wasted; he was truly good to her, and she sincerely wanted to spend her life with him.

Are you very sad?

nor.

I already knew the outcome, I've cried, I've suffered, and now all that's left is the resolute desire to leave.

Just as Su Qingya was about to press her lips against Lu Peichuan's, he turned his head away and pushed her away, saying, "You can stay if you want, but Zhengzheng is sick, and I have to stay with her. I won't see you."

Su Qingya looked at Lu Peichuan with a hurt expression, tears welling up in her eyes. She felt wronged, but still obediently nodded, "Okay."

Lu Peichuan lifted his foot and walked towards the door.

Su Qingya grabbed him, "Stay with me a little longer, okay?"

Lu Peichuan frowned. "Don't push your luck."

Su Qingya immediately let go.

Lu Peichuan left without looking back.

Rong Zheng stared blankly at her phone.

That's it?

There were no hugs, no kisses, nothing intimate happened, so that doesn't prove Lu Peichuan cheated.

But now is not the time to think about these things.

She had to go back before Lu Peichuan returned to his ward.

Rong Zheng walked quickly out of the stairwell. When she returned to the ward, Lu Peichuan had not yet come back. She breathed a sigh of relief and continued eating as if nothing had happened.

Lu Peichuan returned about ten minutes later.

When I came back, I smelled faintly of smoke on me.

Is it because he was afraid of having Su Qingya's perfume scent on him, so he went to the smoking area to smoke a cigarette to cover it up?

This man is very cautious.

That evening, Lu Peichuan didn't leave either. She did see Su Qingya call him twice, but he didn't answer either of them.

This made Rong Zheng depressed all night.

They've already cheated on each other, so why are they pretending to be so affectionate?

The next day, while Rong Zheng was having breakfast, Lu Peichuan's phone rang; it was a message notification.

She glanced at it out of the corner of her eye and saw that it was a WeChat message. She couldn't see who sent it, but it looked like a picture. She couldn't see what was in the picture either, because she didn't have time to look at it.

Upon reading the message, Lu Peichuan's expression suddenly tightened, and he abruptly stood up, turning to walk towards the door. After taking a few steps, he remembered her, turned back to look at her, and said, "Zhengzheng, I have something urgent to attend to..."

"Go ahead, I can manage on my own," Rong Zheng said considerately before he could finish speaking.

Her intuition told her that the message she just received must have been sent by Su Qingya.

Since he finally agreed to leave, she naturally had to grant his request.

Lu Peichuan nodded, turned around, and strode away.

Rong Zheng followed closely behind. After leaving the hospital, she hailed a taxi and instructed the driver, "Sir, please follow the car in front."

She followed Lu Peichuan all the way into Yunqi Manor.

Lu Peichuan got off the car at a bamboo forest scenic area in the mountain resort, and then walked quickly into the bamboo forest along the winding cobblestone path.

Rong Zheng followed cautiously and finally spotted Lu Peichuan and Su Qingya behind a secluded artificial hill.

It was indeed Su Qingya; she had guessed correctly.

Su Qingya lay on the ground, her face pale, with a cut on her left wrist, the blood staining her wrist red.

Lu Peichuan looked anxious and hugged her, saying, "I'll take you to the hospital."

Su Qingya pushed him away, "I'm not going. You don't want me anymore, what's the point of me living?"

Lu Peichuan, his face ashen, snapped, "Su Qingya, stop fooling around!"

"I'm going to make a scene!" Su Qingya cried as she pushed Lu Peichuan away. "Go away, leave me alone, let me fend for myself."

Blood was everywhere during the scuffle.

Looking at the shocking bloodstains, Lu Peichuan's eyes flashed with panic. He pressed his hand tightly against Su Qingya's bleeding wrist, suppressing his emotions as he coaxed her, "I didn't abandon you. Be good, I'll take you to the hospital."

"I just love you, I just want to be with you, am I wrong?"

"Let's not talk about that now, let's go to the hospital first."

Will you come with me to the hospital?

"meeting."

"What about Rong Zheng?"
