Before she could finish her sentence, Qi Yu's phone rang. He picked it up, glanced at it, and nodded at song Nian. "I'm going out to take a call."
After Qi Yu left the ward, Song Nian thought for a moment, then got out of bed and walked to the door. The door to the ward wasn't tightly shut. She couldn't hear the voice on the other end of the phone, but she could hear Qi Yu's voice clearly. He was explaining to the person on the other end of the phone, "Yeah, something came up at the last minute, so I can't go back for the time being."
The person at the other end said something, and Qi Yu replied with a hint of confusion, "Xu Wen's back? Alright, let's talk about it when I get back."
Song Nian paused. She had never seen Xu Wen before, but she had heard of her many times. Back then, the Qi family liked to compare her to Xu Wen. If Song Nian hadn't interfered, Qi Yu would have married Xu Wen.
Xu Wen was Qi Yu's original fiancée. Grandpa Qi insisted on breaking off the engagement with the Shen family and strongly requested Qi Yu to marry Song Nian instead.
Song Nian lowered her gaze and slowly returned to the hospital bed. In the end, the marriage did not help to keep Grandpa Qi. She couldn't keep Qi Yu either. Now that Qi Yu and Xu Wen had gotten back in touch, Song Nian seemed like a joke from the beginning.
Qi Yu was on the phone for a long time. When he came back in, Song Nian was already lying down with her eyes closed and her breathing shallow. Qi Yu walked lightly over to the couch and sat down.
However, Song Nian was not asleep. She wasn't sleepy at all. It was just that she did not want to be in the same space as Qi Yu. There was not much to talk about between the two of them.
Thinking back to the past, she wanted the most to spend time alone with Qi Yu. Unfortunately, Qi Yu was always too busy, or he did not have her on his mind at all. That was why he never bothered to spend time with her.
Now that she finally had the chance to be alone with Qi Yu, their relationship had changed. Qi Yu did not know what song Nian was thinking. He took out his phone to take a look at the itinerary for this business trip. After scanning it from top to bottom, he raised his head to look at Song Nian's back, and he could not help but frown.
Zheng Chengyang only came back when the sun was about to set. When he entered the door and saw the way the two of them were getting along, his face instantly fell.
He placed the food on the coffee table and asked Qi Yu in a low voice, "When did Song Nian fall asleep?"
Qi Yu was also leaning against the sofa to rest. When he heard Zheng Chengyang's question, he lightly said, "After you left."
Zheng Chengyang instantly turned his head to look at Song Nian's back, feeling a bit disappointed.
Song Nian had wanted to lie down for a while to avoid being alone with Qi Yu, but she didn't expect actually to fall asleep while lying down. It wasn't until the nurse came over to give her an injection that she woke up in a daze.
Not only did she need an injection to stop the bleeding, she also needed anti-inflammatory medicine. Qi Yu and Zheng Chengyang were working on the couch at the side, neither of them looking at Song Nian.
Song Nian pursed her lips and discussed with the nurse, "There's no need for more injections, right? I'm familiar with this illness myself. I just need to take some medicine."
The nurse said with a straight face, "Since you're familiar with it, you should know how serious your stomach illness is. The reason why it developed to this state is because you don't care about it. You're still young. If you don't treat it properly, you'll suffer when you're old."
As the nurse spoke, she tore open the needle. Song Nian reluctantly reached out her hand. The nurse glanced at her and lectured her, "You look quite young. How would you have such a serious stomach problem?"
Song Nian turned her head and didn't look at the needle piercing her skin. "I am careless. It developed to this state when I wasn't paying attention."
Qi Yu was looking at the documents when he heard this. He suddenly raised his head and glanced at Song Nian. Song Nian was obviously a little afraid of getting an injection. Her lips were tightly pursed, and she looked stubborn.
Qi Yu suddenly felt a little curious. How did this girl change so much after the divorce? She wasn't like this in the past, but to be fair, he couldn't tell her what Song Nian was like in the past either.
Qi Yu wasn't willing to marry Song Nian, so he didn't treat her well after marrying her. He was busy with work, but he was not so busy that he could not find time to manage his marriage. He just did not want to.
He allowed himself to be buried in his work, and only when he was busy could he not see her. However, Song Nian did not seem to mind. When he said that he was busy with work and did not have time for his honeymoon, she smiled and said that it was fine. Work was important. When he said that he would be out socializing and not be home for dinner at night, she said that it was fine and that he should not drink too much.
Sometimes, when Qi Yu came home from work late, he went to sleep in the second bedroom. When she found out, she just smiled and asked him whether work was too tiring and told him that he should rest well.
Song Nian had never lost her temper in front of him. She was obedient and sensible, like an unnecessary decoration at home. He first felt that something was wrong when he asked for a divorce. In fact, Qi Yu had thought about Song Nian's reaction before he asked for a divorce. He guessed that she would cry, beg, or refuse to divorce.
