The agreed week of leave passed in the blink of an eye. As usual, the man left early and returned late. Sometimes, it wasn't until late at night that Pei Luoyi heard any sound of him coming back.

She was asleep by then, but every night before he went to her room he would sit by her bed for a while before returning.

He seemed to have something on his mind. Pei Luoyi didn't ask, and he didn't take the initiative to mention it.

Both men remained silent on the matter in tacit understanding.

After that unpleasant dinner at the Pei household, Pei Loyi called the next day and asked about Luo Yun's situation. Pei Mingyuan had only briefly told her that he thought she was fine, and so she didn't ask any further.

On the last day of the holiday, as usual, Miyazaki left on time to go to the company.

Pei Luoyi lay on the bed for a while before lying down on the soft bed and lost in thought as she gazed out the window at the morning sun.

The events of the past few days had clogged his heart like a ball of cotton, making him feel uncomfortable.

If she didn't go and take a look, she would appear cold-blooded and heartless.

She went to take a look, but was afraid that others would mistake her for being sentimental.

"Should we go or not …"

She rolled back and forth on the bed before finally sighing and getting out of bed to wash up in the bathroom.

After a simple breakfast, she let the villa's bodyguards take her to the hospital. There was nothing she could do. Although she had a driver's license, she had basically never touched the steering wheel after taking the test.

Naturally, there was no shortage of luxury cars in Gong Yan's garage. He had also told her that he could go to a servant to get his keys if he wanted to go out and play.

At that time, Pei Luoyi had thought better of it. If she were to give up those expensive famous cars and sell it to him again, it wouldn't be worth the loss.

When she got out of the car in front of the hospital, the bodyguard asked if he should wait for her.

Pei Loyi wanted to say no, but after some thought, he realized that he wouldn't be able to do much if he went up there. Thus, he decided to wait.

Then he carried the fruit baskets and flowers he had bought on the way to the hospital.

She took the elevator to the VIP floor and pushed open the door to the ward. Jia Yu Shu was the only one in the room.

On a sunny morning, he leaned against the headboard with a book in his hand, just as she had so many years ago when she had first seen him.

It was obvious that he had not expected her arrival. The man's previously indifferent face suddenly froze the moment he saw her. He did not hide the joy on his face, and even his somewhat pale face seemed to be tainted with blood.

"Yiyi, you're finally willing to come see me."

His voice was sickly weak and gruff.

However, the tip of Pei Luoyi's nose felt unbearably sore.

No care, no pain, but... Feeling sorry.

After loving for so many years, she ended up with this kind of experience. It might be difficult for people who hadn't experienced it to understand how she felt.

She sniffed with her nose, smiled politely and distanced herself from him, walked into the ward, and placed the flowers and fruits she brought on the tea table. "Sorry, I only came to visit now, you …" Are you feeling better? "

She didn't know what else to say.

Jia Yu Shu naturally noticed her uneasiness. With a gentle smile on his handsome face, he said, "I feel much better. However, I can't get out of bed yet. Yi Yi, I …"

Seeing that he wanted to say something, Pei Luoyi suddenly remembered the day at the Pei household when Pei Jingman had screamed at the top of her lungs that he wanted to divorce her. Pei Luoyi's heart skipped a beat.

It was his own wish to propose a divorce, but there was always a sliver of her in the complications.

Before he said it, she had already spoken, "Since you have nothing to do, then I'll come see you again next time. I still have things to do, so I'll be leaving first."

"Yiyi!"

Pei Luoyi held onto the ice-cold handle of the door, but her feet still stopped in her tracks.

Jia Yu Shu looked at her beautiful back as she left. His chest tightened, "I've already made it clear to Jingman that I will divorce her."

Pei Jingman's hand tightened and she slowly turned around. Her charming face was pale and almost transparent as she said, "So, I am already married."

She's married.

It goes without saying what he meant.

Even if he did divorce her, there was no way for them to change anything.

Jia Yu Shu suddenly felt that even breathing had become difficult. His hands that had fallen on the bed sheet were tightly clenched into fists. His warm eyebrows and eyes appeared sinister because of his fluctuating emotions.

After a long while, Pei Luoyi asked in a low voice, "Do you love him?"

Love?

A hint of confusion flashed through Pei Luoyi's eyes. Even after experiencing so much, she was still unable to give a definite answer.

Maybe, but he was still holding back.

She knew that Gong Yan was the same.

There were too many things about that man that she didn't know … Like the woman she had never seen.

None of them could love each other too much.

Her silence caused Jia Yu to raise his eyes and look at her again. "Yi Yi, you can deceive others, but you can't deceive yourself. Just like how I asked you if he loves you, you also can't give me the answer."

Seeing that she only pursed her lips and did not respond, he continued gently, "Yiyi, I'm willing to wait for you. When you wake up, believe me, he's not suitable for you."

After listening to so much, his words had thoroughly touched her heartstrings.

She might not have loved him that deeply, but that did not mean that she did not have any feelings for him.

"Wait for me?" She lowered her eyebrows and chuckled, "Are you not afraid of waiting? In the end, I fell in love with him and not with leaving him."

Jia Yu Shu's expression slightly changed, but he still said with a certain tone, "You won't."

Pei Luoyi had no idea where he got his confidence from.

She did not want to argue with him about this, and even if she were to emphasize it now, it would be impossible for them to argue again in the future, and his attitude would not seem to believe it.

"I'll come again another day. Have a good rest."

Then, without waiting for the man to speak, she turned and pressed down the door handle and walked out of the room.

When she closed the door and turned around, she was shocked to see the woman who had suddenly appeared behind her.

Pei Jingman was holding a lunchbox in one hand. The exquisite makeup on her face could not hide her haggard appearance, especially the dark circles around her eyes. One could tell with a glance that she had not been having a good rest recently.

What should be said had already been said at the Pei household that day.

There was really nothing much to talk about with her, so Pei Luoyi did not think that she would politely greet her. She turned her body to the side and was about to walk around the woman.

"Pei Luoyi, let's talk."

As they passed by her, Pei Luoyi heard her voice. It was so calm that it didn't fluctuate at all.

"There's nothing to talk about between us."

She had already said that there had never been anything between her and Jia Yu Shu about her.

She walked straight to the elevator after throwing down those words. Surprisingly, this time, the woman didn't pester him nor did she follow him.

Pei Jingman slowly turned around and looked at the figure walking into the elevator. The phone in her hand was about to shatter into pieces.

At this moment, his phone rang.

Pei Jingman glanced at the name displayed on the screen, and her expression slightly changed. She then walked to a corner where no one was around and picked up the phone.

After answering, she asked towards the other end of the phone, "Have you found the things I asked you to check?"
