Yuan Shu changed into her favorite casual outfit. She didn’t look like a wife who was going to meet her love rival and establish her dominance at all. No matter how one looked at it, she was dressed way too casually!

After Shi Xiao sized her up for a long time, he finally couldn’t help but ask, “Are you going to wear this outfit?”

On the other hand, Shi Xiao was dressed formally. He was wearing a trench coat, a light-colored shirt, and dark suit pants. He was tall to begin with, but he looked even taller and more handsome in this outfit.

Yuan Shu was curious. “Is there a problem?”

“N-no.”

Shi Xiao suddenly had a feeling that the previous Yuan Shu, who was always jealous and throwing tantrums, wasn’t that bad. At least she was better than the current Yuan Shu, who seemed to be completely oblivious when it came to relationships!

The extended black Lincoln stopped in front of the private hospital. After the car door opened, Shi Xiao got out of the car and he even thoughtfully blocked the top of the car door for Yuan Shu to prevent her from bumping her head.

“Please go ahead, Madam.”

His address made Yuan Shu frown, but she didn’t say anything. She lagged half a step behind Shi Xiao as he led her to the ward.

At this moment, the doctor was examining Lin Xi. She was already awake and her face was a little pale. She cooperated with the doctor’s instructions obediently by opening her eyes and mouth.

After the doctor finished the checkup, he put away the stethoscope and instructed Zhao Cheng, “The patient is fine. She just didn’t eat breakfast. She didn’t eat much for lunch either and has low blood sugar. Coupled with the hot weather, she fainted. Let’s give her some glucose first. After the transfusion, we’ll observe her. If there’s no problem, she can go home.”

Zhao Cheng noted it down. Then, the nurse began to use a rubber tube to tie Lin Xi’s arm to make the blood vessels clear. Then, she inserted a needle to adjust the speed of the liquid flow and began to transfuse glucose.

When the doctor and nurse left the ward, they bumped into Shi Xiao and Yuan Shu.

This private hospital was invested in by the Shi Corporation, and this doctor happened to be the doctor who had examined Shi Lu previously, so he knew the two of them. When he saw the two of them, he immediately greeted, “Young Master, Young Madam.”

After the two of them nodded, they quickly left.

The moment Shi Xiao and Yuan Shu entered the ward, they saw Lin Xi leaning against the bed with a pillow on her back. She was staring at the white wall blankly.

Her face and lips were pale. It was obvious that she wasn’t in good health.

Lin Xi also saw Shi Xiao. She opened her mouth to speak, but she couldn’t say anything. Her eyes were watery, and she looked as pitiful as a deer.

Shi Xiao took two steps closer and asked, “What happened?”

After Zhao Cheng repeated what the doctor had just said, Shi Xiao frowned as he looked at Lin Xi with a hint of reproach and worry. “Why aren’t you eating properly?”

Lin Xi bit her lower lip and gestured in sign language. “I’m in an unfamiliar environment and haven’t adapted yet, so 1 don’t have an appetite.”

Shi Xiao understood what she meant and his eyes were filled with heartache. No matter how heartless a man was, when he saw such a fragile woman, especially when she had saved his life, his heart would ache.

“I’m sorry, I’ve been busy recently and couldn’t visit you.” Although Shi Xiao said so, his tone was very calm.

Yuan Shu was speechless when she heard this. In this situation, it was really a waste of time for her to stay here. If the two of them were to fall in love, it would be a good time to improve their relationship. Wouldn’t she become a third wheel here?

Yuan Shu was still in a daze when Shi Xiao suddenly turned his body slightly, exposing Yuan Shu in front of Lin Xi.

Lin Xi was clearly stunned and she stared at Yuan Shu blankly. After a moment, she gestured to ask, “Who is this?”

Shi Xiao smiled and hugged Yuan Shu’s waist gently before pulling her closer to him. “This is my wife, Yuan Shu.”

Wife…? Lin Xi’s expression was a little hurt and she was clearly unable to accept this outcome.

In front of Yuan Shu, Lin Xi gestured again. “You never mentioned that you have a wife.”

This message was obviously for Yuan Shu to see. Hoping to see her reaction, Lin Xi’s gaze was fixed on Yuan Shu..
