Chapter 31: Favoring Beauty Over Sister

Shen Heyu furrowed her brow, her gaze shifting between the two men beside the bed, both of whom wore expressions that brooked no refusal. She said nothing more and simply closed her eyes.

But somehow, the atmosphere around her took on a bizarre change.

With her eyes closed, she didn't see the look Pei Yansi gave Lu Yi at that moment, filled with intense hostility and displeasure.

Lu Yi glared back just as defiantly, the recent unpleasantness all but forgotten.

At that moment, the door to the hospital room was pushed open, and a young nurse peeped in, saying, "Doctor Lu, the patient has arrived, it's time to start preparing for the surgery we scheduled earlier."

Lu Yi said, "I'll be right there."

He took another look at Shen Heyu on the hospital bed and said softly, "I'll come see you after I'm done."

Shen Heyu opened her eyes and met his gentle, jade-like pupils. She couldn't help but smile at the gentleness of others, lifting a sincere smile and nodding slightly.
