The car door closed, and the two of them walked side by side towards the hospital ward. Shen Wan Ling's ward was on the top floor of the inpatient department. They took the elevator to the top floor.
As they stepped out of the elevator, they saw Shen Wan Xi talking on the phone while holding his phone. When he saw them, Shen Wan Xi only nodded slightly and continued his conversation on the other end of the phone.
"Who is uncle talking to on the phone?"
Shen Wanwan asked curiously as she looked at Shen Wan Xi's departing figure.
"Probably a business partner."
Ji Jinxian had just heard Shen Wan Xi call the person on the other end of the phone President Li.
"Oh, let's go inside then," Shen Wanwan did not ask much about Shen Wan Xi company's matters. She took Ji Jinxian's arm and walked into the ward.
"Mom, we're here!"
Shen Wanwan opened the door of the ward but found that Mother Shen was not there. Shen Wan Ling, who was a patient, was engrossed in reading a book.
When he heard the voice, he turned his head and looked over. When he saw Shen Wanwan walking in, Shen Wan Ling closed his book and his eyes full of surprise, and exclaimed, "Sis!"
"You're hospitalized, and you can't even rest properly. Why are you reading books?" Shen Wanwan chided playfully, letting go of Ji Jinxian and walking to her brother's side.
"Sis, I'm so bored!"
Shen Wan Ling smiled foolishly and then turned his gaze toward Ji Jinxian. Reluctantly, he called out, "Brother-in-law."
"Yeah, how are you feeling?"
Ji Jinxian did not care about Shen Wanwan's brother's dislike. He pulled the stool beside him and let Shen Wanwan sit down.
"It's okay," Shen Wan Ling replied half-heartedly. He disliked the man who had stolen his sister.
After a few perfunctory remarks, his gaze fell back on Shen Wanwan. He examined her from head to toe, his eyes filled with distress.
"Sis, it's only been a few days since we last saw each other. Why do you look thinner? Is it because your husband isn't giving you enough to eat?"
Shen Wan Ling muttered under his breath and glared at Ji Jinxian with indignation. He believed that Ji Jinxian was the reason his sister had lost weight because he wasn't allowing her to eat enough.
"No, I've gained two pounds!"
It felt good to be cared for. Shen Wanwan smiled and ruffled her little brother's hair. In her previous life, she was the only daughter in her family. Her parents had passed away when she was 20 years old. After she was 20 years old, other than her manager, there was no one else by her side.
Feeling cared for once again, Shen Wanwan couldn't deny that she was touched.
"Didn't see it."
Shen Wan Ling mumbled softly, showing that she didn't quite believe her sister's claim. Shen Wanwan felt helpless about her younger brother's inexplicable hostility towards Ji Jinxian. She only hoped that Ji Jinxian would forget her brother's rudeness.
Just as Shen Wanwan thought of this, a familiar voice echoed in the hospital room.
[I just like this brother-in-law and I love seeing how he can't stand me but can't get rid of me!]
[Hmph, I spoiled the little girl until she became chubby and adorable. The little girl really liked the food I cooked.]
[No, I have to improve my cooking skill when I get back. I have to remember all the dishes that the spoiled girl likes to eat. I have to try to fatten the spoiled girl up. By then, this brother-in-law will have nothing to say!]
Ji Jinxian made up his mind. He wanted to see his brother-in-law seethe with anger but be unable to do anything about it.
Shen Wanwan, who overheard his thoughts was speechless.
"Forget it, every strong man has a childlike heart that loves to compete. I'll just pretend I didn't hear it."
"By the way, Sis, when are you coming home? The eldest brother and I miss you. Why don't you come back with me today and stay for a month or two."
Shen Wan Ling, who had been quiet for a while, couldn't sit still any longer and began to urge Shen Wanwan to return to her parent's house in front of Ji Jinxian.
"This..." Shen Wanwan hadn't had a chance to refuse when Mother Shen's voice came from outside the door.
"What nonsense are you talking about? Your sister and brother-in-law are already married. How can they always go back to their parent's house?"
Mother Shen walked into the hospital room as she spoke. She reached out and gave her youngest son a whack on the head before turning her gaze to Ji Jinxian.
"Jinxian, this child is just talking nonsense. Don't take his talk seriously. Mom will teach him a lesson later."
"It's okay, Mom. I know that he is just joking. I won't take it to heart."
Ji Jinxian smiled, but he secretly holds a grudge against Shen Wan Ling.
[How dare this brother-in-law encourage the spoiled girl to return to her parent's house? This brat needs to be taught a lesson!]
Just as Ji Jinxian thought of this, Shen Wan Ling, who was lying on the hospital bed, covered his head and retorted unhappily.
"Mom, why did you hit me? What's wrong with my sister staying at home? They're just having a wedding ceremony and haven't registered their marriage."
Before Shen Wan Ling could finish his sentence, Mother Shen covered his mouth tightly. She was about to be driven mad by her youngest son's behavior.
He was usually an obedient person, but she did not know what was wrong with him today. He had become so arrogant. Mother Shen wondered if her son-in-law had taken his words seriously.
[I'll register our marriage tomorrow...no, I'll do it this afternoon!]
Ji Jinxian's voice was filled with anger and resentment, and his voice rang out in the ward. Unfortunately, Mother Shen could not hear his voice. Shen Wanwan, the only one who could hear his voice, quickly stepped forward to change the topic.
"Mom, did the doctor say anything about Wan Ling?"
"Not much, just that he needs to rest well and not move around. He needs to be careful with his diet and eat more light food."
"That's good. Since the doctor said so, Wan Ling, you have to be obedient and take good care of yourself."
As Shen Wanwan was speaking, her gaze fell on Shen Wan Ling. She looked at Shen Wan Ling who was a little depressed and Shen Wanwan reached out to rub his head.
"Did you hear that?"
Shen Wan Ling whose head was being rubbed, closed his eyes and nodded obediently like a giant dog that was being pacified. If he had a tail behind him, he would probably look even more like one!
After spending some time with Shen Wan Ling in the hospital room, Shen Wanwan and Ji Jinxian left. Just as they got into the car, Ji Jinxian's phone rang.
He picked it up and looked at it. The corners of his mouth instantly curled up. He saw that the phone screen displayed the conversation between Ji Jinxian and Assistant Lin.
Ji Jinxian said, "Let's move up the marriage registration to this afternoon."
Assistant Lin replied, "President, you have a meeting scheduled for this afternoon."
Ji Jinxian said, "Cancel the meeting."
Assistant Lin replied, "Understood, president. I'll arrange it right away. You'll get your marriage certificate in the afternoon."
Ji Jinxian said, "Okay."
Assistant Lin replied, "President, it's all set. The appointment is at 2:30 in the afternoon, and your reservation number is 1."
Ji Jinxian, who had fulfilled his long-held wish, was feeling good. The cheerful music playing in the carriage indicated his good mood.
[In just over two hours, I'll be able to get my marriage certificate. Then, I'll officially be a married man!]
[If Shen Wan Ling finds out, he'll probably be so angry that he won't be able to sleep, haha!]
[I love seeing Shen Wan Ling getting annoyed by me, yet unable to do anything about it.]
Shen Wanwan, who could hear the childish thoughts of the Ji Jinxian every time, felt very helpless. She wanted to scold the author. Where was the cold and overbearing CEO?
She had thought that she had married a cold and overbearing CEO. But she did not expect him to be a CEO who was cold on the surface but talkative on the inside.
The contrast was too different, and it was really surprising!
Shen Wanwan wanted to return her husband now. This overbearing CEO was too childish, and he even liked to see her brother-in-law dislike him but couldn't do anything to him.
