Su He was standing outside the ICU.

“Lan Yan, keep an eye on him, and if anything happens, let me know immediately.”

“Alright, boss.”

Just as Su He had come out from the ICU, she received a call from the head nurse.

“Hello, head nurse, what’s the matter?”

Jiang Huai said: “Director Su, Old Mr.

Long is going to be discharged.

He says he’d like to meet you before he leaves.”

Su He: “Got it, I’m on my way.”

–

Five minutes later.

Long Aotian’s ward.

“Old Mr.

Long, I heard you wanted to see me?” Su He’s voice reached the ward even before she did.

“You’re here, Su,” Long Aotian said with a smile as soon as he saw her.

In the room were also Long Bingyan and his wife, and Long He Song who is the grandson of Old Mr.

Long.

And Jiang Yan.

After greeting Long Bingyan and his wife, Su He then walked up to the old man.

The old man was sitting in a wheelchair.

“Come, let me take your pulse,” she said, half kneeling in front of Long Aotian.

Then, she professionally placed three fingers on Old Mr.

Long’s wrist.

Long Aotian, with a benevolent smile, looked at her, “Su, you know how to take pulses?”

“Yes, a bit.

My grandfather taught me when I was young.” Su He smiled and looked up, “Old man, your pulse is strong, there’s no serious issue, just a slight deficiency in qi and blood.

It wouldn’t affect much.

Just ensure you exercise appropriately at home, like walking, practicing Tai Chi, and rest well, eat well, and keep up a good mood.”

“Very well,” the old man responded cheerfully.

Then, the old man turned to Long Bingyan, “Bring me my things.”

“Yes, Dad.”

Long Bingyan turned around and picked up an exquisite long box from the table.

“Here you go, Dad,” he then handed it to the old man.

Long He Song immediately recognized what it was, having once been severely scolded by his grandfather because of it.

“Su, I heard from Old Su that you have loved writing with a brush since you were little,” Long Aotian said kindly, “Here, this brush is for you.”

Su He glanced at the wooden box’s pattern and recognized it as a Ming Dynasty Wanli Emperor’s dragon and phoenix gilt brush.

A decade ago, this brush was auctioned in the Capital City for 4,485,000 yuan, becoming the most expensive brush in history.

It turns out that this brush was collected by Old Mr.

Long.

Su He smiled lightly: “Old Master, this gift is too valuable, and I am a doctor, you are my patient.

Therefore, it is my duty and mission to care for you.

Besides, our country clearly prohibits doctors from accepting gifts from patients, so I cannot accept this gift.

Moreover, even the Emperor must abide by the same laws as the common people.”

She knew what was on the old man’s mind.

And he recognized that she was the one who operated on him.

Then she added, “If you really want to thank me, just focus on recovering well and follow the doctors’ advice.”

The old man, knowing the reasonable cause, replied, “Alright then, I shall give this brush to Jiang Yan.”

Hidden meaning: “Anyway, you are husband and wife, if it’s not convenient for you to accept it, then give it to your husband.”

Su He: “…”

Immediately after, a group of people left the hospital room.

Long He Song and Jiang Yan walked side by side at the back.

“Five, it’s my first time seeing the Old Master being so generous, even painfully parting with his treasured collection that he’s kept for ten years without even blinking an eye,” he muttered next to Jiang Yan.

That’s a calligraphy brush worth over four million each, which he usually doesn’t even want to use once.

Nor does he let them touch it; just last time, out of curiosity, he used this brush to write a few characters in the study, and when the Old Master found out, he was severely beaten, an unforgettable experience to this day.

The Old Master usually loves to collect antique treasures, so he has a taboo; touch anything else, just don’t touch his precious collections.

Hospital main entrance.

“Su, next month is my big birthday, you must come, if you’re not there, I don’t even know if I can celebrate my birthday next month.”

Before getting into the car, Long Aotian issued an invitation to Su He: “Come with Jiang Yan.”

Su He smiled and nodded: “Okay.”

Jiang Yan unconsciously stood beside her, the two seemed very well-matched.

He slightly turned his gaze to look at her.

These days, their relationship had not progressed at all, instead, it became more and more distant.

During these days, although she stayed at Moon Gift Villa, she still asked someone to move her belongings to the auxiliary bedroom.

After seeing the Long family leave.

Su He didn’t say anything and turned to leave.

Jiang Yan promptly reached out and grabbed her wrist.

“What’s wrong?” Su He then turned to ask him.

“Have your moods been off these days?” The man frowned, asking with a stern expression.

Su He tilted her head slightly and glanced at him: “I’m quite fine, maybe your eyes are failing?

Why not take this chance while at the hospital and get your eyes checked?”

Jiang Yan’s temples bulged slightly, but he still reluctantly said, “But you haven’t been talking to me at home these days.”

Su He was momentarily stunned, “Not really, what do you want me to talk about?

You won’t let me say what I want to say, so I just won’t talk.”

What she wanted to say was only about divorce.

Both of them were well aware of this fact.

“Su He, about that day at the restaurant, I…”

“You don’t need to explain,” Su He cut off his words: “Who you eat with is your right, I won’t interfere, but…”

Her eyes narrowed slightly, her clear eyes carrying a hint of coldness, “You shouldn’t have spoken to Xiaxia like that.”

The hidden meaning was: You can defend your people, but you shouldn’t threaten mine.

At that moment, Su He didn’t know why she felt so displeased, and she remembered it till today.

Probably also because he was acting as her lawful husband and scolded her best friend.

Jiang Yan twisted his eyebrows, so she had been ignoring him these days because of this, not because of jealousy.

–

Five in the afternoon.

In the private room of Fanghua Ruming.

Gu Beiyan lounged with a cigarette that was not lit, exhibiting the demeanor of a wealthy idler but also carried an elegance that no one else could imitate.

He glanced at the two troubled men opposite, removing the cigarette.

“Ah,” he chuckled, “Gentlemen, are you performing a tragedy before me?”

“Both of you with such icy, stony expressions, what happened?

Which girl has caught your hearts?”

A sharp light passed through Gu Beiyan’s eyes, his lips curling into a sly smile.

“Since neither of you will say, let me guess which girl it might be.”

He rested a hand on his chin, seemingly deep in thought.

Following this, he pointed at Lu Zhiyang and said, “You, it must be because of Jing Xuan, right?”

Lu Zhiyang gave him a cold look and said nothing.

“Not denying it, then that’s it,” Gu Beiyan muttered to himself, “Ah, I’m not saying this to criticize you, Lu, but you already have Ye Hanqing by your side, why did you have to mess with Jing Xuan’s sister?”

Suddenly, a guess flashed through his mind, “Damn, Lu, you’re not thinking about playing both sides, are you?”

Lu Zhiyang said coldly, “Get lost!”

“Master, don’t tell me you too?” Gu Beiyan shifted his gaze to Jiang Yan, who had been silent and reticent.

At this moment, Jiang Yan was surrounded by a gloomy and depressed aura.

“The two of you really refreshed my view of the love world; only I, remaining unstained despite emerging from the mud, am pure white in both body and mind.

Yet both of you have your own partners but still think about someone else.”

Gu Beiyan self-reflected and mercilessly criticized.

Among the three of them, he was even a year older.

Though he usually liked to organize gatherings and wandered among a crowd, his love life was not as complex and chaotic as these two.

“But, Master, are you worried about Su He or the girl from the Tang Family?” Gu Beiyan gossiped.

After he last left Tang Sirou behind and took Su He away from Fanghua Ruming, he sensed something was off.

Jiang Yan didn’t respond to him.

After a moment, Jiang Yan asked, “Why would a woman want a divorce?”

“Nonsense, that’s obviously because the woman doesn’t love the man, or maybe…”

Gu Beiyan responded quickly but realized something was wrong.

“No, Su He wants to divorce you?” he asked somewhat surprised.

When divorce was mentioned, Lu Zhiyang also became curious.

He looked at Jiang Yan and added, “That’s good, isn’t it?

After the divorce, you can be with Tang.”

These words were somewhat devastating for Jiang Yan.

So, Su He did not love him.

He glanced at them and asked with a frown, puzzled, “Why do you all assume I like Sirou?”

“Isn’t that the case?” Gu Beiyan asked back.

Lu Zhiyang also slightly raised his eyebrows, clearly asking the same question, “Isn’t that the case?”

Jiang Yan’s handsome features revealed a touch of invisible helplessness.

Gu Beiyan reacted quickly, slightly surprised, “Don’t tell me you like Su He instead of Tang Sirou?”

Initially, their marriage was seen by everyone as a union of families without any emotional involvement.

Even in his and Lu Zhiyang’s view, moreover, they had been separated for four years after getting married, living separate lives; where could any feelings come from?

“…”

Five minutes later.

Gu Beiyan criticized with a disappointed look, “Seriously, Master, if I were Su He, I wouldn’t believe what you said either.

You’ve been too reserved.

After all these years, you’ve held back until now, you really are…”

He expressed being beyond speechless.

Jiang Yan’s deep eyes flickered with a cold light, but Gu Beiyan continued, “Think about it, even though you’ve been married for four years, you had no contact or interaction during these years.

Where is the foundation of feelings?

And almost everyone is convinced that Tang Sirou is your true love.

Of course, your sister-in-law thinks the same, it’s a normal thing.

But the moment you returned to the country, you say you like her, honestly, if she believed you, she wouldn’t be normal.”

He made his point clear.

They hadn’t expected that Jiang Yan had kept this from them.

After hearing this, Jiang Yan earnestly asked, “Then how can I make her believe?”

Gu Beiyan almost burst out laughing upon hearing this, but he managed to hold it in.

Who would have thought that Fifth Young Master Jiang, a prominent figure in the business world, would one day be at the mercies of a woman!

–

City First Hospital.

Su He was ready to leave work on time.

Just as she came out, she heard two familiar voices.

“Sister.”

“Mommy~”

Su He looked towards the source of the voice and saw Su Heng and Su Yimo hiding behind the pillar on the right side of the hospital entrance.

Su Heng was dressed in a black t-shirt and brown work shorts, complete with a black baseball cap, looking every bit the handsome guy.

Su Yimo was still wearing his green hat and mask, dressed in a green tracksuit, only missing green shoes.

“Why did you two come here?” asked Su He, approaching them.

Su Yimo hugged Su He’s legs, looking up at her with a babyish voice, “Mommy, we came to take you out for a big meal, we don’t want to eat Aunt Wang’s cooking anymore.”

Su He looked down at her son hanging onto her leg, “Oh?

Are you treating me?”

“Sure.” Su Yimo nodded his little head, readily agreeing, “But for now, mommy pays the bill, and in the future, all the money baby earns will be mommy’s.”

Su He laughed softly and raised her hand to rub his small head.

“Let’s go, I’ll take you guys for a big meal.”

Su He bent down to pick him up.

The three of them walked towards the parking lot.

Just as they left, An Xueyin followed them out.

She saw Su He’s figure and there was a child in her arms, with a tall man next to her.

Who is that child?

And who is that man?

It appeared An Xueyin sensed something significant, she immediately pulled out her phone and fiercely began to snap photos of that figure.

Then she secretly followed.

Inside Su He’s car.

Both Su Heng and Su Yimo were chatterboxes, never quiet.

“Little uncle, why are you only starting university at eighteen?”

Su Yimo, with his innocent child’s voice filled with sincerity, looked at Su Heng with his round eyes full of questions.

Su Heng: “Isn’t that normal?”

“That’s not normal.

Both big uncle and mommy graduated from their master’s degrees when they were eighteen,” Su Yimo said, clearly not understanding, “Why are you different, little uncle?

Are you not a child of the Su Family?”

“…” Su Heng.

He regretted engaging in conversation with his nephew, these past few days had shown him that high intelligence really doesn’t consider age.

Sometimes, his seemingly casual questions would leave him speechless.

Su Heng: “Because your big uncle and your mommy are not ordinary people, I am the ordinary one.”

“Mommy, little uncle said you are not an ordinary person~” The little guy immediately turned and tattled to Su He.

Su He glanced up at the rearview mirror.

It was then, she keenly noticed a car following them.

“Su Heng, I’ll drop you and Xixi off at the entrance to the shopping mall, you guys go ahead and I’ll find you after I park,” she said.

Su Heng: “Oh, alright, got it.”

…

Center Hemisphere—

Yue City’s largest shopping center.

“Master, the mall is too crowded, what do you want to buy?

Should I go buy it for you?” Jiang Feng said from inside the car.

This was the center of the entire city, clearing the area was out of question, it would be too conspicuous.

Moreover, their Master [Fifth Young Master Jiang] decided to come on the spur of the moment, and it was also rush hour, which meant even larger crowds.

“No need, I’ll go myself, you and Jiang Qi just follow, everyone else stay here.” The man’s deep voice sounded.

On the other side.

After dropping off Su Heng and Su Yimo, Su He asked them to head into the mall first.

She then drove her car to the underground parking lot.
