Boyfriend's passive-aggressive behavior, she turns the tables and makes him her backup option.

Si Nian was startled and quickly struggled to push him away.

"What are you doing?" Si Nian's eyes were filled with barely concealed anger.

Lin Tinghan was very dissatisfied with her intense reaction.

"What else do you want? I'm your husband, can't I even kiss you?"

Si Nian calmed herself down, gripped the doorknob tightly, and said to him, "This is my brother's former residence. I don't want him to see this."

The dissatisfaction on Lin Tinghan's face froze slightly.

He moved his lips, but didn't dare say anything about how Zhou Huai had been dead for so many years and where he could have seen them kissing.

He felt that if he said it, he would definitely anger Si Nian.

Si Nian said in a somber tone, "Go back, don't stay here."

"I won't touch you anymore, okay? I don't want to go anywhere tonight, I just want to stay with you."

"I don't need you to accompany me." Si Nian stood at the door and refused to open it.

Seeing this, Lin Tinghan reached out to press the fingerprint lock, but it showed that fingerprint recognition had failed. He paused for a moment and asked, "Did you delete my fingerprint?"

Si Nian casually made up an excuse, "I changed the locks a while ago and reset everything."

A hint of suspicion flashed in Lin Tinghan's eyes, but Si Nian didn't give him a chance to ask a question.

She then said, "Don't come with me. Go to the hospital to be with Hengheng. You can also talk to him and prepare him mentally so he won't cry and throw a tantrum when he finds out I'll be his mom for a while."

Thinking of Lin Ziheng, who was still hospitalized after falling from the artificial hill.

Lin Tinghan then stopped insisting on staying to accompany Si Nian.

Before leaving, he said to Si Nian, "I'll pick you up from the hospital tomorrow morning to get an anti-inflammatory injection."

"No need, I can drive myself. Isn't your follow-up appointment coming up soon? Take care of yourself these next few days and make sure you get enough sleep."

"Don't worry about me, I'm fine."

"Okay, you should go home soon."

Lin Tinghan responded, and after he left, Si Nian unlocked the fingerprint lock and returned to her room.

She had just sat down on the sofa to rest for a while.

She took out her phone and saw the message Xie Jingyao had sent her.

There were no words, only a mysterious smiling emoji.

Si Nian could tell that Xie Jingyao was annoyed because she had rushed into Lin Tinghan's car.

She carefully considered her words, thinking about how to tell Xie Jingyao.

On the other side, Xie Jingyao held his phone and looked at the "typing" message at the top of the screen.

It showed up several times, but in the end, no message was sent.

Si Nian personally cooked porridge and several light dishes in the evening.

After packing, she took her dinner out and drove to the hospital where Xie Jingyao was.

Lin Tinghan had just left her place before dinner, so she probably wouldn't come looking for her again. It was a good time for her to go to the hospital.

We arrived at Xie Jingyao's ward.

Si Nian knocked on the door and went in to see Xie Jingyao in a video conference.

Xie Jingyao glanced up at her, then looked away and continued talking to his laptop.

Si Nian slowed her pace and placed the dinner aside.

She originally wanted to go out and find a doctor to ask about Xie Jingyao's current condition.

As a result, I heard Xie Jingyao mention Lairui Technology.

The launch event for Lairui Technology's AI regenerative body is scheduled for three days from now.

After Xie Jingyao mentioned a few points to note, he ended the meeting.

Then he started typing on his laptop, looking quite busy.

Si Nian sat quietly on the sofa, not disturbing him.

Xie Jingyao seemed to completely ignore Si Nian, as if she had never appeared in the room.

After waiting for a long time, Si Nian heard the kill sound effect coming from Xie Jingyao's side, and got up from the sofa and went over.

Seeing the game screen on Xie Jingyao's screen, Si Nian was slightly speechless. She thought Xie Jingyao was dealing with work and was being very quiet so as not to disturb him, but it turned out he was playing games.

Si Nian brought over dinner. "I made you some porridge. It's almost cooled down. Eat it now."

"..."

Xie Jingyao acted as if he hadn't heard and continued typing.

"Then you can eat after you finish this game?"

"..."

Xie Jingyao remained silent.

Si Nian stood aside and waited.

Finally, the game ended, and Si Nian handed over the chopsticks, but Xie Jingyao didn't take them.

He was expressionless, his tone somber: "You came all this way just to urge me to eat?"

"No, I just wanted to ask how you are doing."

"Who am I to you that you would be so kind as to care about me?"

Si Nian smiled apologetically, "Didn't you say you were my savior? I'm just bringing dinner to my savior."

"No need, I can't afford it, and I'm afraid your husband will poison my food."

As soon as Xie Jingyao uttered those sarcastic words, Si Nian immediately understood what he was up to.
