Footsteps were chaotic in the hallway, with people coming and going.
Lu Jing, in a hurry, reached out and pushed twice, but to no avail.
His eyebrows immediately furrowed,
"Jiang Ye, get out of the way!" His tone was very unpleasant.
Lu Jing was actually rarely so rude to others, except when facing Jiang Ye, whom he just couldn't control himself around.
But the man half-closed his eyes, watching the woman who wished to sever all ties with him, his gaze deepening, yet his body remaining still,
"When are you free?" he asked again with a calm voice.
It seemed to give the impression that if she didn't agree, they might just end up spending the day here!
Lu Jing couldn't hold back the rage boiling inside him and started ranting,
"What is there to talk about? Haven't all ties been severed six years ago?
Jiang Ye, we're both adults; isn't it pointless to keep this up?
And, as a man engaged to be married, you should have some self-respect, shouldn't you?"
Each word was enunciated crystal clear.
Of course, with great decisiveness and resolution!
As Lu Jing's last word fell, the hospital room fell into a terrifying silence.
Lai Xingchen's eyes nearly bulged out like a frog's; he had never imagined that Captain Jiang and Doctor Lu had been together six years ago?
And it seemed like...
Wait, should he even be privy to such private matters?
Wouldn't Captain Jiang skin him alive later?
The fact was, the two people at the door were blatantly ignoring the presence of another living person in the room!
Should he cry or laugh?
And this time, Lu Jing managed to push past.
Only, after barely taking a step, his wrist was captured again.
"Hiss—"
The marks from before hadn't even faded yet.
Hearing the woman's pained intake of breath, Jiang Ye slightly loosened his grip, and the next second, he shifted to grasping her waist instead.
"Fiancée?" he muttered meaningfully.
How could a woman possibly resist the strength of a man?
Lu Jing didn't struggle further and coldly sneered,
"Isn't that right, Gu Xiyue, Lady Gu?"
On the stark white walls of the hospital room, Lu Jing was pinned firmly, her eyes wide and round.
Jiang Ye found this rare and deliberately lowered his head,
"She's not," he retorted.
Lu Jing heard him clearly but didn't quite believe it.
Those fans were almost crazy about them on any average day!
All the major entertainment news outlets reported it that way too.
Just a few days ago, Jiang Group officially announced Gu Xiyue as the global chief brand ambassador for Jiang Group, and when that news broke, most people suspected that it meant the two of them were getting closer to tying the knot!
Therefore, the man's assertion didn't carry much persuasive power.
Lu Jing broke free in one motion,
"Jiang Ye, I'm not interested in your issues; from now on, don't come bothering me again, I'm begging you, okay?"
Beg?
The man lifted his head sharply upon hearing that,
"Lu Jing, are you f*cking begging me?"
The veins on his forehead throbbed, and his teeth gritted audibly with anger.
Lu Jing didn't feel good inside either, holding back tears in her eyes fiercely, not allowing them to flow,
"Yes, I'm begging you!" she said hoarsely.
Both of their bodies swayed slightly; taking it to this stage was probably something neither of them had imagined six years ago.
...
Lu Jing left.
Jiang Ye didn't stop her any further.
Yet, the oppressive atmosphere in the hospital room grew heavier and heavier.
Forced to witness the whole affair, Lai Xingchen lay on the hospital bed, not daring to make a sound or move, not daring to move at all.
After who knows how long, there was a 'bang' as the trash can was kicked into pieces.
In the next office over, Doctor Lu's office.
Lu Jing sat at the desk, staring blankly, her whole person in a daze, lost in her thoughts for a long time.
