Chapter 147 - He Doesn’t Care About Her Now



Chapter 147: He Doesn’t Care About Her Now

Jiang Yigu opened the door. “Want to sit around for a while?”

“N-no, it’s alright…” Tian Miaomiao quickly waved him off and giggled awkwardly. “I’m going home… hahaha…”

“Stop!” Jian Yigu’s voice was abrupt and commanding.

Tian Miaomiao froze immediately.

“Wait for me a bit. I’ll bring you home.”

He was not comfortable with a girl going off alone.

Tian Miaomiao watched as he left. She was able to react eventually, and became angry.

Damn it. He actually had the gall to tell her what to do!

When he comes out, she was going to split his head.

Jiang Yigu, however, came out in his car with his window half-wound down.

He already had another pair of glasses on: grey frames and faintly brown lenses. Beneath, his eyes were enrapturing to the soul just like always, and though his lengthy figure was matched with simple clothing, he stayed infinitely forbidding as ever.

The gates of the mansion were automated. As they opened, he turned to Tian Miaomiao. “Get in.”

“Okay.”

Tian Miaomiao was most vulnerable when it came to good-looking men. She responded meekly, and got inside the car as if she had zero integrity.

However, her sensitive nose quickly picked up a familiar scent within.

Her mind hummed.

That scent… it’s the same smell as the man who saved her in the bar that night…

She could not help turning to stare at Jiang Yigu.

His cold, breezy look was identical to the man who helped her.

He had glasses on as well, not to mention that scent of antiseptics.

There were so many things which matched that there couldn’t be more coincidences in this world.

As such, Tian Miaomiao could not stop herself from asking, “Jiang Yigu. You are the one who saved me at the bar that night, right?”

This time, she sounded especially sure.

Meanwhile, Jiang Yigu swerved the steering wheel to turn the car into a junction. His eyes remained as flat as an old well, however, and he grunted an affirmative with great composure.

Tian Miaomiao was delighted in return—but that lasted for just a moment as her inward warmth cooled and she became unable to smile.

“Why didn’t you admit it before?”

She couldn’t understand.

Be that as it may, Jiang Yigu glanced at her with the corner of his eye.

“Because it’s not worth mentioning.”

Tian Miaomiao’s face went white. “Why…”

Why was it not worth mentioning? Was she that terrible?

Nonetheless, Jiang Yigu’s voice turned very cold. “I’m a doctor. I meet thousands of patients every day. Why must I remember you?”

“Tian Miaomiao, you shouldn’t think too highly of yourself. I saved you because it was no effort at all, and I would have done the same even if it wasn’t you that night.”

His words, like a bucket of ice water splashed down over Tian Miaomiao’s head, leaving her frozen from head to toe.

It made sense. He’s a doctor who has to meet many people every day, and he might not remember her just because she did.

Even so… that night, they were at the bar and not the hospital. There’s no reason he remembered nothing.

In her seat, Tian Miaomiao’s presence shrank continuously.

She could not help wanting to disappear right then.

The car eventually stopped and Jiang Yigu spoke. “We’re here.”

Tian Miaomiao could not wait to get off, but he called her just as she left.

“Hold on.”

She felt a faint hope then, believing that he was about to apologize for just now.

Nonetheless, Jiang Yigu looked into her eyes and coldly said, “I hope you can forget about that night.”

Tian Miaomiao’s breath left her, and her whole body froze.

Was saving her that shameful?

Huh.

Even so, she did her best to muster a smile she thought was dazzling. “You think too much. I’ve already forgotten all about it.”

With that, she turned and left briskly.

She was aware that Jiang Yigu was watching her fixedly, and so kept her back straight until she reached a corner—only then did she dropped to a crouch, covered her face and cried.

She didn’t even know why she was crying.

It just felt as if something that was only built recently shattered. Just like that.

In the car, Jiang Yigu stared at the spot where her attractive figure vanished.

Lowering his eyes, his gaze darkened ever so slightly.

***

The next day.

Ji Weixi woke up and immediately found Li Shaoling’s handsome face very close to her own.

Startled, she almost dropped the ground and yelled. “Li Shaoling, are you crazy!?”

Li Shaoling simply shifted half his body over her, hugging and kissing her. “You look nice when you’re sleeping.”

He had been looking for quite a while, and she was more adorable the more she looked.

However, as the memories of yesterday gushed in her mind, Ji Weixi pushed him off in annoyance and glared at him viciously. “Don’t touch me!”

Li Shaoling lifted his brow but remained calm. “I’m not touching you. I’m touching my wife.”

“You have plenty of other wives.” Ji Weixi shot back indignantly.

Still, Li Shaoling stayed calm and did not deny it. In fact, he smiled dazzlingly.

A beautiful morning, no longer so because of Li Shaoling.

Ji Weixi’s heart was set aflame with rage, and she was about to blow up.

What’s the deal with him?

Shouldn’t he already be blowing up, as he did usually?

Could it be that the woman was really his ex, and he didn’t care that Ji Weixi was angry now?

Ji Weixi was even more upset at that thought.

After washing up, Li Shaoling drove her to see Jian Jie at the hospital.

No one spoke in the car. There was grief in Ji Weixi’s heart, and he wasn’t reacting!

@%@%¥@%!!!

Meanwhile, they could hear arguing even before reaching the sickroom.

“Didn’t I tell you to break up with Lin Kai!? You didn’t listen, and now you’re still thinking about him even after he dumped you! Why did our family have a lovesick girl like you? Did he even come to see you after you bled so much for him? How could you be so foolish!?”

The old lady was standing bedside and scolding Jian Jie coldly.

Jian Jie sat on her bed, holding one red, swollen cheek and sobbed quietly—clearly, the old lady had hit her.

The old lady turned at the sound of Ji Weixi and Li Shaoling entering, and quickly went to them with all smiles. “You’re here…”

Ji Weixi, surprised that the old lady would know could not stop herself from asking. “Grandmother, how did you know that Jian Jie was admitted to the hospital?”

But just by her mentioning it, the old lady was infuriated at ten different places. “That brat Lin Kai told me! He even told me to discipline Jian Jie so that she wouldn’t bother him!”

Then, the old lady glared at Jian Jie. “I’ve told you before that Lin Kai was no good, but you didn’t listen! Ignore elders at your own peril!”

With those words, Jian Jie’s cries become louder but she remained in disbelief. “Lin Kai, how could you do this to me! How could you…”

That Lin Kai was really petty.

At the same time, Li Shaoling’s brow tightened at her crying. “I’ll wait for you outside,” he told Ji Weixi.

He left at that, although Ji Weixi ignored him.

After crying for a while, Jian Jie finally rubbed away her tears and gulped. “Miss Ji, I’ll return to River Town with you now.”

Ji Weixi was quite surprised. “Won’t you stay a few days more here in the hospital?”

Jian Jie shook her head. “No… I don’t have the money, and staying a night is already very expensive… I can’t afford it.”

Pausing, Jian Jie then looked up at her in gratitude. “Miss Ji, you’re very nice. You’ve saved me even after what I’ve done to you… be at ease, I’ll definitely stand as your witness.”

Ji Weixi hesitated for a moment before nodding. “Thanks. You should pack up.”

However, after Ji Weixi left the sickroom, she couldn’t find Li Shaoling after searching for quite a while.

Where did he go?

Fine, whatever. He didn’t care about her anyway.
