C23 Silence
The two of them ate in silence. Just as Mo Lingshuang was about to put a piece of meat into her bowl, she heard Hee Ruowen ask, "I heard you were hit by a car at noon?"
Mo Lingshuang's hand, which was holding the meat, trembled, and the meat almost fell onto the table. Mo Lingshuang coughed and put the meat into a bowl. "Yes, I accidentally scraped it."
Hee Ruowen raised his head and looked at him gloomily. He continued to ask, "I'm asking about your injuries!"
Mo Lingshuang felt the temperature drop in the kitchen. She didn't know why Hee Ruowen was suddenly angry. As a lover, she shouldn't have done anything wrong.
Mo Lingshuang's heart ached, but she still answered Hee Ruowen, "I went to the hospital for a checkup. The doctor said there were no problems except for the abrasions."
Hee Ruowen's gaze swept across Mo Lingshuang's body again and again, making her feel as if she was sitting on pins and needles. Finally, after Hee Ruowen confirmed that she really only had multiple abrasions on her body, he retracted his gaze.
The two of them continued to eat, and the room returned to its former silence, punctuated only by the occasional clink of chopsticks against plates, as it did every day.
After dinner, Mo Lingshuang began to clean up the dishes. Just as she was about to put the bowls and chopsticks in the water, she received a pair of gloves from Hee Ruowen.
After Hee Ruowen threw it over, he left with a cold expression. Mo Lingshuang looked at her palm. Previously, when she was cooking, she had soaked the abrasions until they turned white. Because it didn't hurt much, she had ignored it. She didn't expect Hee Ruowen to notice it.
He had done so much to her, and yet she was touched. What did she think she was? Was she a lover or a pet? Mo Lingshuang sneered at herself. She knew what kind of person he was, but she couldn't help but feel touched. She was really asking for it.
As much as she disliked Hee Ruowen, Mo Lingshuang decided that there was no need to abuse her. Although the bruises didn't hurt, it would be difficult if she got infected. She had forgotten about it before, but now that someone had reminded her, she naturally had to be careful.
When no one could feel sorry for themselves, they had to learn to feel sorry for themselves. Mo Lingshuang washed the dishes with gloves and yawned. When she returned to the living room, Hee Ruowen was no longer there. He must have gone back to his room.
Mo Lingshuang turned off the lights in the living room and went back to her room. As soon as she lay down on the bed, she felt sleepy. She covered herself with the blanket and fell asleep.
Despite the many unpleasant things that had happened in the company, Mo Lingshuang still diligently continued her work.
"Aren't you mighty? And this side of you." Mo Ning's voice stopped along with the sharp sound of her high heels. She took advantage of Mo Lingshuang being alone in the conference room to talk to her.
"You don't have to add insult to injury like that, do you?" Mo Lingshuang looked up at her, forcing a smile and retracting the grievance in her heart.
"Actually, you should know," Mo Ning said.
"Know what?" Mo Lingshuang asked.
"People like you should be able to understand after being in the industry for a long time, right?" Her mouth revealed a look of disdain.
"Unfortunately, I don't understand." Mo Lingshuang's words revealed too much resentment and disdain that she did not want to pay attention to.
"Then I'll tell you." She lowered her head and looked into Mo Lingshuang's eyes. Her hands were on Mo Lingshuang's shoulders, and she looked like she was high above her.
"A person like Hee Ruowen will never lack passers-by by his side." With that, he let go of Mo Lingshuang's shoulder and walked behind her.
"And you are the passer-by in his life," Mo Ning said fiercely.
"A passerby!" Mo Lingshuang sneered.
"There are only two people in his life who can always be with him, always present in every minute of his life," she continued, ignoring Mo Lingshuang's sarcasm.
"And these two people, one is Chen Siyi, and the other is me. Chen Siyi was his wife, and she brought him everything the Chen family had, including money and connections, and all the opportunities to make the company stronger, and only Chen Siyi could give her a proper home. " Every word hurt Mo Lingshuang's heart.
"What about you?" Mo Lingshuang asked.
"I, Mo Ning, am his assistant. I've been with him for so many years, I've been through so much with him, and I know all his habits and styles. I also know in my heart that he can leave any one of these two thousand people, but not me, not him. I can say this with certainty because I know him well enough." With pride and viciousness, she slowly spoke out everything.
"Yes, you're right!" Mo Lingshuang replied indifferently, feeling powerless.
"What about you, Mo Lingshuang? You're just a passerby. Without you, there would still be thousands of Mo Lingshuang rushing out. Have you thought about your position?" With that, she turned around and left.
Mo Lingshuang felt wronged and sad to be left alone in this empty conference room. Mo Lingshuang did not know what to do to save herself. He hated this version of himself. It was because she was sad enough that she cared about a person like Hee Ruowen in her heart.
It had never thought of fighting for power or wealth, much less the Hee family's wife. She had always deceived herself that in her heart, Hee Ruowen was just a customer who provided her with money, and that their relationship was just a simple transaction. However, now that she heard Mo Ning's words, she was unable to extricate herself.
Finally, the sound of high heels leaving the room pulled Mo Lingshuang out of her complicated thoughts. It was finally over. She could leave this place and get a moment of peace. She didn't want to be so noisy, nor did she want to stay for another second.
Mo Lingshuang quickly put down the documents, picked up her bag, and left the office area. She did not exchange too many glances with anyone, nor did she look up. At the elevator door, Mo Lingshuang and the man beside her also pressed button one with both hands. It was obvious that the man beside her did not notice Mo Lingshuang and casually said, "Sorry."
Mo Lingshuang raised her head and saw Hee Ruowen's face. Hee Ruowen also saw Mo Lingshuang. Mo Lingshuang suddenly felt awkward and confused. She nodded with a smile and quickly turned her back. She did not want to have anything to do with Hee Ruowen anymore.
Time passed quickly as they descended the stairs. Mo Lingshuang always wanted to be the last one to leave, waiting for the crowd to leave so that she could go out and avoid trouble. Unfortunately, Hee Ruowen thought the same. Mo Lingshuang saw that Hee Ruowen was also not leaving, so she was the first to step out of the elevator.
Unexpectedly, she bumped into Hee Ruowen's shoulder. Hee Ruowen saw Mo Lingshuang hugging her red arm tightly. There was a trace of apology in his eyes, but he did not say anything. The two of them walked out of the hall, and Mo Lingshuang wanted to get out of Hee Ruowen's sight as soon as possible.
Hee Ruowen drove his mount slowly in front of Mo Lingshuang, who was waiting for the bus. He stopped right where Mo Lingshuang was staring at. " Get in the car. "Before Mo Lingshuang could find a reason to refuse Hee Ruowen, he had already looked away. He did not allow Mo Lingshuang to disagree at all.
Mo Lingshuang sat in the back seat and closed the door. She heard Hee Ruowen's cold voice from the front again. "Sit in the front." Mo Lingshuang still did not resist, because she knew that with Hee Ruowen's personality, as long as he did not achieve his goal, he would never give up.
"I need to go to the hospital," Mo Lingshuang said carefully to Hee Ruowen, who was beside her. Hee Ruowen still did not respond as he started the car. Neither of them made a sound along the way. Hee Ruowen did not even look at Mo Lingshuang. Soon, they arrived at the hospital.
Mo Lingshuang lowered her head and said, "Thank you." Hee Ruowen looked at her indifferently as she opened the car door and disappeared into the huge square in front of the hospital. Then, he slowly turned his gaze back and drove his car away.
"You eat!" A clear voice sounded.
"Eat it!" Mo Lingshuang's best friend, Mo Fu, called out to her.
"All right, all right, since neither of you wants to eat, then give it to me. I don't want the two of you to fight." Mo Lingshuang smiled as she walked into the white ward. Her hair was flying in the wind from the window, and her smile made the outline of her face clearer. The way she tilted her head was also extremely beautiful.
"Sis, you're here!" From Mo Fu's voice, he could clearly feel the joy he felt when he saw his sister.
"That's right, I came to see you!" Mo Lingshuang tried her best to show that she was happy.
"You can't eat it. If Mo Fu eats it, her body will grow. What's the use of eating it?" Mo Fu pretended to be unruly.
"Alright, alright, alright. Let Mo Fu eat it. Mo Fu, do you know who loves you the most now? "Mo Lingshuang said with a smile. However, even if she didn't want to hear it, she was interested, not to mention two sensitive people. Mo Fu's face immediately turned red, and her face was filled with embarrassment.
Mo Fu was also very flustered. She moved her body from time to time, holding the fruit knife, and actually picked up the orange again. Mo Lingshuang looked at the two people in front of her who didn't know what to do. She was a little happy in her heart, but the atmosphere in the ward became heavier and a little awkward. Mo Lingshuang tried to break the deadlock.
"Oh, right, Mo Fu, how are you feeling these past two days?" Mo Lingshuang asked as she brushed her brother's hair.
"I feel a lot better now, especially these past two days. The doctor also said that I can be discharged in two days and stay at home for conservative treatment," Mo Fu said happily.
"That's good. I still have to have a good chat with your attending physician later," Mo Lingshuang said slowly.
"Yes, I also need to go through all the procedures," Mo Fu added.
