She just wanted to hide in the hospital, but Lu Bei Chuan wouldn’t easily agree.
A week passed, and Lu Bei Chuan once again left work on time. When he returned home and faced the dark villa without any lights on, he couldn’t bear it any longer. He immediately drove to pick up An Xia from the hospital.
However, before they could exchange a few words, they fell into a stalemate.
Lu Bei Chuan’s head throbbed with anger.
“How long are you going to stay in the hospital?”
An Xia, without blushing or skipping a beat, continued to move her paintbrush, outlining the almost completed work.
This was a commission introduced by Jiang Qingyu. Although she would only receive a few tens of thousands of yuan in the end, An Xia had no choice but to accept it in order to quickly gather the twenty million.
The rapid change of generations in this industry made it impossible for people to adapt.
Now was an era of emerging talents. As long as you dozed off a little, you would miss the opportunity that was already at hand.
If you didn’t seize the opportunity, you could only work harder.
After being a full-time housewife for three years, the name of the genius art girl had long disappeared. She was a forgotten person. A person who had been abandoned by herself first. Even if she felt uncomfortable in her heart, she could only silently guard it.
In the two seconds before Lu Bei Chuan was about to lose all patience and go berserk, An Xia spoke in time.
“Why should I be discharged from the hospital when I haven’t fully recovered?”
Without saying a word, Lu Bei Chuan directly threw the medical examination report he had obtained from the doctor in front of An Xia.
“The indicators on this are all normal. Tell me, where are you not well?”
“The current indicators are fine, but what if there are any sequelae?”
An Xia used Lu Bei Chuan’s previous excuse of feigning an injury to prevaricate.
Sure enough, Lu Bei Chuan’s face immediately darkened several degrees. His lips were almost pursed purple, and he couldn’t say a word.
After a long stalemate, Lu Bei Chuan spoke first.
“Fine, if you want to stay, then continue to stay. Later, I will ask Xiao Ming to check your hospitalization details for these days. However many days you stay, I will add all the hospitalization fees for these days to the two million you have to repay.”
An Xia’s hand, which was originally calm and relaxed while painting, suddenly stopped. She raised her head and looked at Lu Bei Chuan in disbelief.
Although she had already experienced Lu Bei Chuan’s shamelessness, An Xia was still speechless when he said these words.
“Don’t forget why I was injured and hospitalized!”
Lu Bei Chuan replied faintly: “Jing Yang is also your brother.”
“Then why did you care so much when I lightly hit your face before?!” An Xia was furious: “Why didn’t you say at that time that I was your wife, so let it go?”
Lu Bei Chuan raised his eyebrows: “Aren’t you going to divorce me?”
An Xia: …
Alright, alright, he was right no matter what.
“Shameless!”
On the way back to Tianzhu Garden from the hospital, An Xia didn’t give Lu Bei Chuan a good look.
After entering the villa, An Xia stormed upstairs to pack her luggage.
Seeing her open the closet and keep moving clothes out, Lu Bei Chuan subconsciously said: “We agreed not to separate before the divorce.”
An Xia ignored him.
Lu Bei Chuan simply reached out to stop her, but was forced back by An Xia’s glare.
An Xia hugged her clothes, elbowed Lu Bei Chuan, who was blocking her way, and walked towards the guest room. Then, in front of Lu Bei Chuan’s frowning face, she put all the clothes into the guest room’s closet.
After packing one batch, An Xia turned around to pack the second batch, but before she could touch the clothes, her hand was grabbed by Lu Bei Chuan.
“What do you mean?”
An Xia replied impatiently: “Are you blind?”
Lu Bei Chuan couldn’t stand her cold attitude.
She always spoke to him with barbs now.
“Can’t you speak properly?”
An Xia directly retorted: “When have you ever spoken to me properly?”
An Xia really didn’t know where he got the right to express these grievances.
She was now just treating him with the attitude he once had towards her.
How could he not stand it after only a few words?
She had endured such grievances for a full three years.
Even more, in these three years, she had to face not only his sarcasm and cold violence, but also her mother-in-law’s difficulties and her father-in-law’s indifference.
He hadn’t even experienced one-ten-thousandth of the grievances she had experienced, so how could he not stand it?
Lu Bei Chuan looked at her in silence.
After another long stalemate, Lu Bei Chuan let go of her hand.
He had overlooked it.
He only said that they couldn’t separate, but didn’t say that they couldn’t separate rooms, allowing her to take advantage of this loophole.
But this woman was too tricky when she was stingy. Her attitude was terribly tough.
Aunt Liu came back after throwing out the trash and saw An Xia. She couldn’t stop being happy, but when she saw An Xia moving her luggage, she looked at Lu Bei Chuan worriedly.
She thought that the young master had already coaxed the young mistress well, but now it seemed that not only had he not, but the relationship between the two of them seemed to be getting more and more strained.
Aunt Liu couldn’t help but ask An Xia worriedly.
“Young Mistress, why are you moving to the guest room for no reason? Aren’t you separating from the young master like this? Didn’t you used to look forward to the young master coming back often? Why are you sleeping in separate rooms from the young master now that he’s back?”
Aunt Liu glanced at Lu Bei Chuan secretly, and then whispered to remind An Xia.
“The old lady is waiting for you to give birth to the Lu family’s eldest grandson in your belly. Didn’t you promise before that you would definitely work hard as long as there was a chance? But now, how come…”
“Aunt Liu, I was ignorant before, and I was too stupid to think that hard work would be useful. This root is rotten. Even if I work hard to water and cultivate it, it won’t work.”
Lu Bei Chuan was also brought up by Aunt Liu. She looked at Lu Bei Chuan as if she were looking at half a son. An Xia couldn’t bear to say too many bad things about Lu Bei Chuan to Aunt Liu, so she hinted at it vaguely.
She hoped that Aunt Liu could understand a little and stop trying to bring her and Lu Bei Chuan together.
An Xia’s unrequited love could persist for so many years without wavering, firstly because she was a love brain, and secondly because of the support of her grandmother and Aunt Liu.
If it weren’t for their constant encouragement over the years, she might have given up long ago.
Aunt Liu’s face changed slightly, and her half-opened mouth froze for a moment, not knowing what to say.
“Young Mistress, this root… is it really rotten?”
Thinking that Aunt Liu was reluctant to let her give up and wanted to persuade her again, An Xia nodded and said very seriously and solemnly.
“Yes. So please tell Grandma that I’m useless and can only disappoint her.”
Aunt Liu’s face became even stiffer, her mouth opening and closing stiffly.
“This, how am I supposed to tell the old lady this?”
An Xia patted her shoulder: “I know this is difficult, but I still need you to help me talk to Grandma properly. I’m afraid that if I say it too quickly, she won’t be able to accept it.”
Aunt Liu nodded blankly.
“That’s, that’s right. If this matter isn’t explained to the old lady slowly, the old lady will probably be so angry that she gets seriously ill again.”
