39. She Is My Wife

Translator: hanhan

Ling Mubai was not irritated at all. Instead, he ran to wash his hands and returned soon, then said to Qu Wan, “I’ve washed my hands. They’re not dirty now.”

Qu Wan didn’t want to say anything. What she meant was that he had touched Jiang Xinyue many times and it had nothing to do with washing hands.

As a matter of fact, she hated what she was thinking about now. They were divorced and she had decided long ago that she would never get involved with this man again. Whomever he wanted to be with and whose hands he would hold were none of her business.

But why was she still so disgusted and turbulent at the thought of him and Jiang Xinyue having shared a bed?

Ling Mubai stretched his hand to her mouth and she couldn’t help but bite it hard. Ling Mubai let out a moan but he didn’t dodge.

The doctor didn’t know what was going on and gave Ling Mubai a thumb up, saying, “Young man, good for you. You’re really nice to your girlfriend!”

“I don’t know him. I’m not his girlfriend!” Qu Wan immediately released her bite and explained to the doctor.

“Oh, I’m sorry. My bad.” The doctor apologized. Only then did he realize that Ling Mubai looked a little familiar and he seemed to be the young master of Ling family who was about to be engaged to the daughter of the mayor.

“No, you’re right. She is my wife!” Ling Mubai said it instantly and reached his hand to Qu Wan again. “Wanwan, are you still in pain? Go ahead and bite me if you can’t take it.”

Qu Wan turned her head away and repeated, “disgusting!”

While the doctor was examining her, there were some hurried footsteps coming from the door. “Doctor? Where are the doctors?”

The door was pushed open shortly afterward and a woman stormed in. She turned out to be someone Qu Wan knew, the henchman standing next to Jiang Xinyue when she met her at the shopping mall last time.

When Jiang Wenwen saw Ling Mubai, she froze on the spot. Then she noticed Qu Wan, who was surrounded by doctors, and didn’t know how to react for a moment.

Her boyfriend was badly beaten when he got into a fight with others at a food stall. They came to the hospital hastily and were looking for the chief doctor of the orthodox department, then found their way here.

She didn’t expect to run into Ling Mubai and Qu Wan, who looked quite intimate.

Ling Mubai was displeased and said to the nurse beside him, “Ask her to leave!”

After the nurse closed the door, Jiang Wenwen stood there for a while before she quickly took out her cellphone and took two pictures of the ward secretly.

Jiang Xinyue was her bread and butter. Xinyue and Ling Mubai were getting engaged soon. Why was Qu Wan here with Ling Mubai? Did they get back together?

Jiang Wenwen didn’t care about her boyfriend’s injuries anymore and concentrated her attention on watching the two people in the room for the sake of Jiang Xinyue.

If by any chance, Qu Wan wanted to be back together with Ling Mubai, she must tell Jiang Xinyue, which surely would bring her favors of gain in return.

Due to the serious foot injury, Qu Wan was temporarily unable to walk. The doctor had already applied the ointment and advised her to rest at home in the next few days.

After the examination, Ling Mubai carried Qu Wan in his arms and walked out of the ward, failing to notice Jiang Wenwen who was hiding nearby and taking photos.

Being held by him in such a manner, Qu Wan felt uncomfortable all over. She struggled and moved constantly but Ling Mubai didn’t care at all. The doctor next to them reminded her kindly, “Stop moving. If your wound were torn, it would get worse.”

Qu Wan didn’t dare to move anymore and let Ling Mubai carry her out obediently.

After losing sight of the group, Jiang Wenwen walked out from the corner and made a call to Jiang Xinyue right away.

Jiang Xinyue had already fallen asleep at the time, so she was in a bad mood once being woken up by the call. She became even more impatient when she saw who the caller was. “What’s it?”

“Xinyue, I saw Qu Wan in a hospital!”

Jiang Xinyue was even more sullen. “Does it have anything to do with me?”

Jiang Wenwen lowered her voice and said, “Qu Wan was injured. It was Ling Mubai who sent her to the hospital!”

“What?” Jiang Xinyue immediately sat up from her bed and was broad awake. “Mubai escorted Qu Wan to the hospital? Are you sure?”

“I’m 100% sure. I even took several pictures! Ling Mubai held Qu Wan in his arms and they left the hospital just now. Xinyue, how dare I disturb you at such an odd hour if I’m not sure?”

Jiang Xinyue turned gloomy and clenched her teeth. “Follow them and tell me their whereabouts next.”

Jiang Wenwen was in a dilemma when thinking about her injured boyfriend

and replied, “They have already got on a car and left the hospital. I don’t know where they headed… Perhaps, you can give a call to Ling Mubai?”

After the call, Jiang Xinyue couldn’t go to bed again. Had this day had come after she worried for so long?

No way! She must stop them!

Jiang Xinyue sat on the bed for a whole night and even got black eyes. She came out of her room the next morning after Jiang Zhendong left for work.

Seeing her dark eyes, Qin Surong asked, “What’s wrong? You didn’t sleep well last night?”

“Mommy, Mubai was together with Qu Wan last night.” Jiang Xinyue told Qin Surong what Jiang Wenwen had witnessed in the hospital.

Qin Surong’s face turned grave as well. They were fully aware of how much Qu Wan and Ling Mubai loved each other in those years. It took them quite a lot of effort to break them up.

If they patched things up and be back together again, how could Jiang Xinyue marry into the Ling family?

This was very serious. They must decide what to do for the best to stop them from getting back together.

Seeing that Qin Surong didn’t have any good ideas, Jiang Xinyue became more anxious. “Mom, should I reveal this news to Aunt Sun? She hates Qu Wan so much. I’m sure she will figure out something to stop them.”

“Hold on a second. Let me think about it.” Qin Surong’s eyebrows were knitted tightly. “Mubai loves his mother, but he is not someone who can be easily manipulated. Back then, Sun Lan tricked him to make you pregnant and drove Qu Wan out of the house by threatening Mubai with her life. Ling Mubai’s patience with Sun Lan is running out, and it’s no help for her to step in again.”

“Then what should we do?” Jiang Xinyue was frantic. “It’s all Qu Wan’s fault. She has left. Why come back now? Why doesn’t she just die somewhere and never show up!”

“Shut up!” Qin Surong gave her daughter a glare. “Have you forgotten what I’ve been telling you? If you can’t keep calm when facing setbacks, how can you get a man’s heart?”

“Mommy, sorry. I was too anxious just now! You know, Mubai’s heart has never been with me. Even if I want to win him over, there is nothing I can do!”

Qin Surong sneered. “Your dad doesn’t love me as well. The person on his mind has always been that bitch Qu Mengyao. But so what? He still ends up with me. I’m the sure winner, right?

“It’s because you had me. Daddy is a noble man, so he married you and took responsibility for you. But I’m different. I don’t have a child now. I don’t have any leverage on Mubai!”

Qin Surong blamed her daughter exasperatedly, “How can you be so useless? Women are born with the ability to crawl into men’s bed. How come you’re so stupid and can’t take a man down in three years?”
