That strange feeling in his heart was growing stronger.
What on earth is going on?
Ji Sang’s lips were pressed into a straight line, watching the man running towards them.
“You are…”
Cheng Jianwen obviously recognized the two of them, especially Ji Sang. His scrutinizing gaze was undisguised, and it was only when Ji Sang frowned that he finally averted his eyes.
Song Xiu stepped forward discreetly to intercept.
...
“Good day, Mr. Cheng.”
It was only then that Cheng Jianwen looked at Song Xiu and nodded.
“Who might you two be…?”
Song Xiu glanced at Ji Sang.
“We are from the television channel, we came today primarily to see Xiao Zhi, and also to understand the whole incident.”
Cheng Jianwen slightly narrowed his eyes.
“People from the television channel, reporters?”
As he spoke, Cheng Jianwen was looking at Ji Sang.
Ji Sang felt uncomfortable under his blatant scrutiny and retracted her beautiful brows.
“Mr. Cheng…”
“Miss reporter, may I ask for your full name?”
Cheng Jianwen pushed up his glasses on the bridge of his nose.
“I owe you one for the incident at the hospital before.”
Recalling the incident that day, Ji Sang’s face turned sour, and the alienation on her face wasn’t concealed in the least.
“My surname is Ji.”
“Oh, so you’re Ms. Ji.”
Cheng Jianwen curled his lips into a smile, his eyes squinting into slits as he crouched down to pick up Xiao Zhi.
“There’s nothing much to talk about this matter. I shouldn’t have caused a scene at the hospital days ago, see, the funeral is done, and I’ve started to return to work. There’s nothing worth reporting, Ms. Ji.”
Ji Sang pursed her lips; Cheng Jianwen’s words were clearly brushing them off.
From beginning to end, he never acknowledged his mistake.
In his heart, it was still the hospital and still Fu Yisi who harmed his wife and daughter.
But clearly, the situation had already been clarified by the hospital.
“Mr. Cheng…”
“Ms. Ji,”
Cheng Jianwen interrupted Ji Sang with a smile.
“I really appreciate your help with Xiao Zhi twice, but I truly do not wish to discuss this matter further, I have other business to attend to, so I won’t keep you company.”
A clear dismissal.
The words Ji Sang wanted to say were cut off like that.
Song Xiu watched the man’s retreating figure and asked,
“Sister Ji, don’t you find this Cheng Jianwen a bit odd?”
“Hmm, I can’t quite put my finger on it, and…”
Ji Sang paused, her eyes narrowing slightly.
“I always feel like I’ve seen him somewhere before.”
“City Third Hospital?”
“No.”
Ji Sang shook her head.
“Before that.”
That day at the Third Hospital, she felt Cheng Jianwen looked somewhat familiar.
“But, he won’t cause trouble at the hospital again, right?”
Song Xiu watched Ji Sang’s brow that remained furrowed and hid the emotions in his eyes, jokingly saying,
“Sister Ji, could it be that you’re still worried about Dr. Fu?”
Ji Sang: …
“What are you talking about, why… why would I worry about him?”
But even as she spoke, her ears turned red uncontrollably.
Song Xiu’s eyelids drooped, and he shrugged his shoulders.
“Aren’t you two boyfriend and girlfriend? Such worries… are quite normal, aren’t they?”
Although it’s a pity that he didn’t meet Ji Sang earlier, really, he had no words to say about losing out to a man like Dr. Fu.
Putting aside the family background, he was just an intern who had recently graduated and joined the television channel.
“Who told you he and I are boyfriend and girlfriend?!!”
Ji Sang’s eyes widened slightly, her complexion reddening visibly.
“Was it Xiao Zhang?”
Ms. Ji Sang’s reaction was not something Song Xiu had anticipated
“Xiao Zhang? No, no, that’s not it. Sister Ji, aren’t you and Dr. Fu a couple?”
“No.”
She and Fu Yisi were merely in a nominal marriage, a husband and wife in name only.
Although… they had indeed cohabited harmoniously during this time, it had absolutely nothing to do with being a couple.
“Is that so!”
Song Xiu’s previous dejection vanished, and his beautiful, even bewitching, peach-blossom eyes now held a scorching intensity.
Ji Sang glanced at him, somewhat perplexed,
“Why are you so happy?”
Song Xiu coughed lightly a few times, attempting to suppress the smile tugging at his lips, but to no avail.
…
After eating alone at the Yujing Apartment, Ji Sang returned upstairs.
She intended to settle down and sort through the information from sixteen years ago, but she kept envisioning Cheng Jianwen’s face and… that somewhat peculiar smile he had when he looked at her.
Ji Sang rubbed her hair in irritation,
“Where on earth have I seen him before?”
“Seen who?”
A man’s low, husky voice reached her.
“Ah!”
Ji Sang was startled, and the laptop on her lap fell to the floor.
She widened her eyes at Fu Yisi who stood at the door, and patted her chest,
“Why didn’t you make any noise when you came back?”
Fu Yisi’s eyebrows lifted slightly,
“Didn’t I make a noise just now?”
Ji Sang: …
“I mean your footsteps.”
Moreover, it was his very words just now that had frightened her!
Fu Yisi raised his eyebrows, lifting a hand.
So now, even walking quietly is a fault?
Fu Yisi chuckled and walked over, picking up the fallen laptop.
“What are you doing?”
Ji Sang’s pupils shrank slightly when she saw the still-lit screen displaying a page, quickly grabbing the laptop and then hugging it protectively to her chest as if shielding her young.
Fu Yisi: …
He had simply asked casually, but Ji Sang’s reaction…
A hint of amusement lingered in the man’s eyes,
“Are you up to no good?”
“No…”
Ji Sang’s voice quieted significantly due to a guilty conscience.
The man chuckled softly, and although he didn’t ask further, that brief laughter unsettled her even more.
Ji Sang instinctively held the computer tight.
If Fu Yisi saw these things, he would surely ask questions.
And then the surprise would be ruined.
Fu Yisi casually loosened his collar and sat down on the sofa,
“Who did you just say you’ve seen before?”
He hadn’t intended to eavesdrop, but he happened to overhear just this phrase when he came up, and seeing Ji Sang’s clearly guilt-ridden reaction, he became genuinely curious.
When the topic arose, Ji Sang sat up straight, sharing her suspicions,
“I really feel like this Cheng Jianwen looks familiar. I had this feeling before at the Third Hospital.”
“Third Hospital?”
The man’s brows furrowed slightly, his hand resting on his knee twitching a bit,
“What were you doing at the Third Hospital? Are you feeling unwell?”
Ji Sang stared blankly for a moment before realizing the man’s misunderstanding and couldn’t help but laugh and cry,
“No… If I’m unwell, I’d go straight to your hospital. Why would I need to go to the Third Hospital? Besides, wasn’t there that unresolved medical dispute at the Third Hospital? I just wanted to go and check it out.”
Hearing Ji Sang’s response, Fu Yisi curled his lips satisfactorily and relaxed further into the sofa.
“Are you worried about Cheng Jianwen taking revenge on me?”
“It’s not really about revenge… I just find it… a bit strange.”
After speaking, Ji Sang paused for a moment and then looked up directly at Fu Yisi,
“I think it’s better if you’re a bit more cautious.”
The seriousness and concern in her eyes made Fu Yisi feel, for a moment, that Ms. Ji, this heartless woman, might have finally come to her senses.
