Chapter 76: Chapter 76 - You’re Just a Woman in a Hurry to Get Divorced

Old Master Shen wanted to get up, but Qiao Xi hurriedly stopped him, "Grandpa, don’t move yet, wait for the doctor to come for an examination."

Shen Dang happened to bring the doctor right then.

Only after the examination did the doctor breathe a sigh of relief and said, "President Shen, Old Master has survived the critical period, but we still need to pay close attention. If anything happens, we must not delay."

"Old Master has just woken up. My suggestion is to observe him in the hospital for a few more days, and if there are no problems, he can go home."

"Alright, we understand." Shen Hongxuan waved a hand.

"Let me get up," Old Master Shen didn’t want to lie down.

Ran Jing quickly raised the bed and then brought him a cup of warm water.

Old Master Shen drank a cup of water and looked at them with a smile, "Xixi, Ah Dang, you’re back, huh?"

Seeing their worried and tense expressions, the old man instead comforted with a smile, "I’m fine. It’s normal to have minor issues at my age. I need to live a long and healthy life and wait for you two to give me a great-grandson."

"Okay," Shen Dang smiled and agreed.

Old Master Shen looked at Qiao Xi.

"Grandpa’s health is the most important, other things are secondary." Qiao Xi lowered her long eyelashes, concealing the emotions in her eyes very well, her voice tender and soft, "Grandpa, you should rest well first."

"You two just got back, you must be tired too, go home now."

Qiao Xi nodded, looking very obedient and respectful, "Then I’ll come back with Shen Dang tomorrow to see you."

Old Master Shen’s smile was slightly tired, "Okay, go ahead."

Ran Jing saw them out to the door of the ward, "I’ll take care of Grandpa tonight, you don’t need to worry."

"Then we will leave."

Ran Jing watched the two leave before turning back into the ward.

Inside the elevator, the air was quiet.

Qiao Xi kept her gaze down, "What’s Grandpa’s condition now?"

"Syncope caused by an arrhythmia."

Qiao Xi furrowed her brow, "Does Grandpa have a heart condition?"

"It’s due to old age, complications have arisen, but the doctor said there’s nothing to worry about now."

Shen Dang could actually tell that Qiao Xi was also very worried; just now in the ward, her eyes seemed to be red.

She didn’t seem this upset even when she was hit during acting, right?

Shen Dang leaned against the elevator wall, hands in his pockets, his bearing arrogant, "Let’s wait for Grandpa to recover before we get divorced. If it gets discovered, I’m afraid his heart won’t be able to take it. I can’t joke about Grandpa’s life."

Qiao Xi’s eyes were calm, "Okay, I understand."

Shen Dang turned his head towards her, "Understanding is good."

Qiao Xi suddenly exploded, "Do you really see me as that inconsiderate?"

Shen Dang seemed to curve his lips slightly, his expression a little nonchalant, "Of course you’re not that inconsiderate, you’re just a woman in a hurry to get a divorce. But you really don’t have to worry about not being able to divorce."

She wanted a divorce; would he actually refuse?

Was she an angel?

Shen Dang looked at her face and his thoughts shifted—

Tch, she really is quite angelic.

Even so, what of it?

He would divorce her sooner or later!

"I’m in a hurry..." Qiao Xi wanted to argue back but then she decided against it.

Shen Dang was waiting for her to retort, but her voice suddenly softened, "Fine, then assume I’m in a hurry."

Shen Dang: "..."

Wasn’t she?

Had he misunderstood?

The elevator stopped, and Qiao Xi stepped out.

Shen Dang only saw a solitary silhouette, even the long hair spread over her back had a chill sheen.

"Assistant Gao, take us to Sheng Birch Mansion."

Assistant Gao squinted slightly at his boss’s expression, then smilingly agreed, "Okay."

Watching the darkening sky outside the window, Qiao Xi suddenly felt a bit lost.

Her plan was originally to come back and divorce Shen Dang, then find an opportunity to slowly come clean to Grandpa.

They still had plenty of time.

But she didn’t expect to return to the news of Old Master Shen being hospitalized.

Qiao Xi thought of the kindness the Shen family had shown her; maybe it was because of Shen Dang, but she could differentiate between sincerity and malice.

She had so few people in her life who gave her warmth, Qiao Xi didn’t want to lose any more.

She looked down and opened the WeChat interface, where Old Master Shen had instructed her to take good care of herself.

He would send her red packets on her birthday, and hadn’t missed one in two years, truly treasuring her as a granddaughter-in-law.

The Shen family was so caring, yet her own biological father hadn’t said a word.

Perhaps it was the contrast that made Qiao Xi inevitably compare, and come to such a laughable truth.

So, Grandpa, you must take good care of yourself.

"What time do you plan to visit Grandpa at the hospital tomorrow?" Qiao Xi had no work and planned to accompany the old man in the hospital.

"If you go out, give me a call, and I’ll pick you up." Shen Dang leaned lazily in the seat.

"No need."

Qiao Xi didn’t want to be such a bother.

Shen Dang lifted his chin slightly, his tone cool, "If you don’t want Mom and Dad to find out, then don’t go alone."

Outside, the wind suddenly picked up fiercely, storm clouds loomed overhead, casting a gloom over the interior of the car as well.

Qiao Xi murmured something and then said haltingly, "Then I’ll trouble you."

"Mhm."

Qiao Xi: "..."

"Crack! Patter!"

Big droplets of rain pelted the car windows, quickly forming streaks of water, the droplets streaming down continuously.

It seemed even the cold air outside seeped in through the gaps.

Suddenly, it started raining...

Qiao Xi placed her hand against the car window, feeling the vibrations from the falling raindrops through her palm.

Shen Dang cast a sidelong glance at her.

Occasionally, he noticed some childish behaviors of hers.

Like last time when she stuck her hand out the window, and when she was drunk...

Shen Dang’s eyes deepened, and he looked away.

The car arrived at the foot of Qiao Xi’s building.

The rain outside showed no sign of letting up.

Just as she was about to ask if there was an umbrella in the car, she saw Assistant Gao hand an umbrella to Shen Dang, "President Shen."

Shen Dang raised an eyebrow, giving a questioning look, "?"

What was this about?

Assistant Gao kindly reminded, "President Shen, it’s raining outside."

Shen Dang gave a cold laugh, "I’m not blind."

Was this questioning his eyesight?

"The Madam shouldn’t get wet in the rain," Assistant Gao continued with a kind heart.

Boss, can’t you be more considerate?

You’ve been married for two years, apart for two, and now you’re together again. Shouldn’t you jump at the chance?

Qiao Xi: "..."

So why couldn’t the umbrella be handed directly to her?

"Give me the umbrella."

Shen Dang took the umbrella and then slapped it into Qiao Xi’s palm, "Just return it tomorrow."

Qiao Xi pursed her lips, a sound emerging from her throat, "Mhm."

Assistant Gao: "..."

How did this person ever get a wife?

Qiao Xi stepped out with the umbrella, "Assistant Gao, could you open the trunk, please?"

Qiao Xi shut the car door.

"President Shen."

Assistant Gao handed him a dark object again.

Charge, boss!

Shen Dang was close to laughing; he paused a few seconds, uttered a "Tch," and then got out with the umbrella.

The rain dripped to the ground, wetting his trousers quickly.

Shen Dang looked at Qiao Xi for a few seconds before going over, his voice deep and resonant, "Don’t you know to ask for help?"
