Chance Encounter

I looked at her in surprise. "Wait, so you mean Jing Ni rejected your brother?"

Mai Qi nodded, took a big sip of tea, and sighed. But then she smiled. "It's rare to see Mr. Qu Hao like this. What a spectacle!"

I felt the same way.

Jing Ni was so badly injured that even when I could get out of bed, she was still bedridden.

When I visited Jing Ni, I saw how affectionate Mr. Qu Hao could be. Surprisingly, he was also very generous. He didn't care that Mai Qi and I came to 'visit' so often.

Jing Ni treated him indifferently. She often used the two of us as an excuse to drive him away.

He wasn't offended. He would come to see her, sit for a while, and then leave.

Eventually, even I couldn't bear it anymore. One day, I followed him out of Jing Ni's ward, ignoring Jing Ni, who asked me to stay.

Qu Hao gave me a friendly smile. "Don't tell me. You're pitying me too?"

I nodded. "Looks like I'm not the first one."

Qu Hao smiled.
