Black-bellied husband, don't be too bad

Chapter 33 Voluntary or Forced
Chu Ci went to the hospital after get off work.

Lu Xiang is in the best private hospital in Yicheng, and the confidentiality is extremely high.

She bought a preserved egg and lean pork porridge and a red bean fermented rice at Yufuji.

Lu Xiang had stomach bleeding and could only eat liquid food.

As for her, she really has no appetite.

Chu Ci pushed open the door and went in, and saw Lu Xiang sitting cross-legged on the bed in a white wide sweater, with an IV drip on her hand.

Putting down the lunch box in her hand, Chu Ci glanced at the woman on the bed.

Described as haggard and pale.

She frowned, "Why do you drink so much wine? It's too late!"

Lu Xiang sighed, "Get rid of your worries with wine, do you understand?"

Chu Ci glanced at her coolly, and snorted coldly: "Your sorrows and resentments are all hypocritical."

Lu Xiang took the lunch box that Chu Ci handed over with his free left hand, and said dissatisfiedly, "What's wrong with you today, did you eat gunpowder?"

Chu Ci sat down on the chair next to her, shook her head, "Eat quickly, or it will get cold later."

"What's wrong with you?" Lu Xiang put down the lunch box, "Did something go wrong at work, or did you quarrel with your man again?"

"No!" She smiled wryly, "Maybe my aunt is here!"

After she finished speaking, she raised her head and stared at Lu Xiang, but found that something seemed wrong.

From her angle, you can see a section of Lu Xiang's snow-white neck and collarbone that cannot be covered by a loose sweater. Although it was covered by her long hair just now, her long hair is now loose, and the dense traces are all clear. visible.

Chu Ci stretched out her hand and grabbed her collar, "What's going on around the neck?"

Startled, Lu Xiang hurriedly blocked her hand, "It's okay!"

The more flustered she was, the more suspicious Chu Ci became.

If those marks are correct, they should be hickey marks and traces of skin being crushed.

According to Chu Ci's current understanding, Lu Xiang has not had a boyfriend yet.

Thinking of this, Chu Ci's face suddenly became serious, "Lu Xiang, to be honest, what did you do last night?"

She pointed at Lu Xiang's neck, "Voluntary or forced?"

Soon she overturned her previous words, "If it was forced, you will definitely not let that scumbag go?"

Chu Ci narrowed her eyes slightly, "Did you have a boyfriend, or did you find a prostitute?"

Lu Xiang paused for a while, then put down the spoon in his hand, "Chu Ci, let's not discuss this topic, shall we?"

Generally, things that Lu Xiang didn't want to say, no matter how hard she forced her, she would not say them.

"Okay!" Chu Ci pursed her lips, and glanced at her quietly, "How many days do you have to stay in the hospital?"

"There's still a bottle of normal saline, just leave after hanging up."

Lu Xiang scooped up a spoonful of porridge and stuffed it into his mouth, "Chu Ci, don't you want to eat?"

Chu Ci shook her head, "Don't eat, I will lose weight."

"Still losing weight, you have to become a genius!" Lu Xiang curled his lips, his face full of disdain.

Chu Ci turned her face away, looked at the flowers on the coffee table, lowered her head, and touched her green and jade-like hands, "I don't know if Wen Xin has been discharged from the hospital?"

"Why, do you want to visit her?"

"No, if she faints, I won't be able to get rid of it!"

Chu Ci sighed quietly, "Why am I so unlucky, I really want to change jobs!"

"Don't you just admit defeat like this?" Lu Xiang's voice raised a little, "Can you stop acting like a pissed off daughter-in-law, Wenxin dares to wear small shoes for you, so you wear them for her too!"

Chu Ci snorted coldly, "Speaking is better than singing, besides, I don't have the energy to make trouble with her."

Lu Xiang was silent, as if he remembered something for a while.

"How are you and your man? Did he say anything when you filed for divorce?"

Chu Ci reached out and took out a lily from the flower basket, put it in her hand and looked at it carefully, "No, he pretended that nothing happened, so I had no choice but to muddle along."

"Just let it go?" Lu Xiang chewed these four words lightly, and smiled, "Don't you feel wronged?"

"Most of the time, there is no grievance, and the grievance is only for a moment."

Chu Ci also smiled.

In fact, if you don't care, you probably won't have emotional fluctuations.

About half an hour later, Lu Xiang finished the drip, pulled out the needle and was about to be discharged from the hospital.

Lu Xiang called the driver to pick her up.

Chu Ci was standing next to her, but when she raised her eyes, she saw a familiar figure walking towards her.

There was no way to avoid it, and the eyes just collided.

Wen Xin is wearing a pair of oversized sunglasses, and she should also go down the elevator here.

Lu Xiang hung up the phone and raised his face, just in time to see Wen Xin walking this way.

She raised the corners of her lips and chin slightly, "Miss Wen is also in this hospital!"

Wen Xin took off her sunglasses and gave her a cold look, "Well, I'm about to be discharged from the hospital."

Lu Xiang was born at odds with Wen Xin, they knew each other very early, even earlier than she knew Chu Ci

When I was a child, I saw Wenxin Pidian following Mu Xiuchen and called him Brother Xiuchen.

At that time she thought they would be together.

It's just that I didn't expect that Wenxin would finally empathize with her.

She thought she would have a chance, but Mu Xiuchen told her that even if he liked men in the future, he would not like her.

Look, that seemingly gentle man is actually extremely cruel.

Just as she was immersed in her own thoughts, the elevator door opened.

Then she saw the man coming out of it.

A black suit with a gentle temperament.

A woman's soft and charming voice sounded from behind, "Didn't you say you were waiting for me downstairs, why did you come up?"

Mu Xiuchen's voice was gentle and clear, "There are many reporters downstairs, I'll take you to the other side."

Wen Xin stepped forward with a gentle smile, "It's still your consideration."

While they were talking, Chu Ci kept looking at them expressionlessly.

She still didn't understand why Wen Xin didn't love or like this man very much, but she ordered him around without restraint or with peace of mind.

But Mu Xiuchen, this man who was also extremely high-quality, was content with it.

May be love is really blind inside.

After talking to Wen Xin, Mu Xiuchen turned his gaze to Chu Ci and Lu Xiang's faces, and he nodded slightly as a greeting.

It's just that when I saw Lu Xiang, I was a little surprised, wondering what she was doing here?
"Chu Ci, what did the doctor say just now, you can't eat spicy food, right?"

Lu Xiang, who kept his head down and his eyes wandering, spoke abruptly.

Chu Ci was taken aback, and quickly realized, "Yes, your stomach is bleeding, you need to rest well."

Sure enough, as soon as the words fell, Mu Xiuchen frowned slightly, "Your stomach is bleeding?"

Lu Xiang sighed leisurely, "Yeah, I drank too much alcohol, and then uh, let's exercise vigorously!"

This is so ambiguous that only the person involved can understand what is going on.

Mu Xiuchen narrowed his eyes slightly, and gave her a condescending look.

When Lu Xiang left the ward, he had already put on a windbreaker, which temporarily covered the marks on his neck.

But from Mu Xiuchen's perspective, he could still see some obscure traces.

It shows how hard he worked yesterday.

In an instant, the man's eyes became extremely dark.

Lu Xiang looked relaxed and at ease, smiling nonchalantly, "Chuchu, let's go take the stairs over there, there are too many people here, it's crowded."

"okay."

Before leaving, Lu Xiang glanced at Mu Xiuchen lightly, and a huge smile appeared on Mingyan's face, "Speaking of which, it seems that Mr. Mu owed me something and didn't pay it back."

After finishing speaking, she never looked at the man again, and walked straight forward.

When Lu Xiang's back disappeared from the other side, Wen Xin looked away and sneered, "What do you owe her?"

"It's all about favors!" Mu Xiuchen said lightly, without much emotion in his voice.

After finishing speaking, the man's eyes fell on her face, "Are you feeling better?"

"Almost, I'm already working."

She had a headache and pressed her temples, "When I was hospitalized, Lu Mingsheng sent someone to see me."

"Huh?" Mu Xiuchen raised his eyebrows calmly, "Then what did he say?"

"Don't you want me to go back to the Lu family." Wen Xin laughed mockingly, "It stands to reason that I should call him Grandpa, but well, you also know that the Lu family didn't recognize the existence of me and my mother, and now they want me to It won't be that easy to go back."

Mu Xiuchen's eyes were serious, he pursed his lips, and finally said nothing.

The elevator door slowly closed.

After a brief silence, the man suddenly said, "I might be getting married!"

The voice fell, and there was another silence.

Wenxin couldn't believe what she heard, and it took her a long time to open her mouth to hear her own voice, "So fast?"

"Soon?" He smiled, "27 is going up, the rush is tight at home, and I want to settle down."

If he is not short of money, he needs someone to spend his money.

Wen Xin stared at the handsome eyebrows of the man beside her for a few times, but her eyes were empty and confused.

Fu Heng's marriage was the biggest pain in her heart.

So what about the man in front of him?
When people get along with each other for a long time, they will develop feelings, but that may not be love.

For Mu Xiuchen, she believed that she didn't love him.

At best, he is the kind of person who treats him like an older brother and can be relied on.

But now when he said that he was going to get married, for some reason, he felt so unwilling.

But her personality didn't allow her to show any reluctance. In the end, she clenched her hands tightly and smiled forcedly, "Is there a girl you like?"

I don't have a favorite for the time being, but there is one who has a relationship.

But that girl!
Unruly, arrogant, self-willed, although beautiful, but superficial.

It doesn't match the appearance of the girl he likes at all.

So Mu Xiuchen's lips curled into a very shallow arc, "Do you have to be in love to get married?"

What he said seems to be warm and balanced in his heart.

Indeed, many times, marriage is not necessarily because of love.

It may also be a compromise after weighing the pros and cons.

Compromise is much easier than love.

Looking at the man's calm face, Wen Xin said dryly, "There's no need to be in such a hurry to get married, you can get along more and see if it's suitable."

"Too tired, boring!"

The elevator door opened, and Mu Xiuchen stepped out of the elevator.

He deliberately kept a certain distance from Wen Xin.

He has always been the one who chased her for 99 steps, and she was unwilling to take that last step.

There was nothing he could do.

Just halfway there, Wen Xin suddenly caught up from behind, "Xiuchen, wait!"
