half thorns, half joy

Xiao Zihan pursed his lips tightly and looked at Zheng Yifan coldly without saying a word.

Zheng Yifan closed the door, walked a few steps towards Xiao Zihan's hospital bed, and looked down at Xiao Zihan's injury.

Xiao Zihan felt uncomfortable being looked at by the envious eyes, and said coldly, "Zheng Yifan, if you came here specifically to say thank you, then there's no need. I'll save the child first, it's for Tang Xuan's sake."

"...Tang Xuan is right. You really don't know..." Zheng Yifan smiled self-deprecatingly.

Xiao Zihan frowned, and the puzzled Zheng Yifan looked at each other.

Zheng Yifan has always been unconfident and inferior when facing Xiao Zihan, and even dared not look at Xiao Zihan.

This was the first time Zheng Yifan saw Xiao Zihan confused.

He suddenly felt a little funny, and even felt a little sympathetic to Xiao Zihan.

"Zheng Yifan, don't be so mean. I will never let Tang Xuan go. I advise you not to have any extra thoughts." Seeing that Zheng Yifan didn't speak, Xiao Zihan closed his eyes angrily, and chose to ignore Zheng Yifan.

"Well, I know." Zheng Yifan rubbed his hands awkwardly, his eyes flicked over Xiao Zihan's gauze-wrapped body, "Don't worry, I won't bother her in the future."

"What do you mean?" Xiao Zihan suddenly opened his eyes and looked at Zheng Yifan suspiciously.

"literal meaning."

Xiao Zihan couldn't believe it, but he saw Zheng Yifan's serious expression, and he didn't mean to be joking at all.

Apart from being happy, Xiao Zihan was still a little skeptical.

He always felt that something was wrong, and it was strange that he couldn't tell.

"So you came... just to tell me this?" Xiao Zihan suppressed the random guesses in his heart, and asked Zheng Yifan with raised eyebrows.

Zheng Yifan shook his head.

Xiao Zihan and Zheng Yifan rarely talked when they were alone, and it was never before that there were so many like this time.

Xiao Zihan didn't know what Zheng Yifan came here for, he felt inexplicably upset when he saw Zheng Yifan.

Xiao Zihan waited for a few minutes, but Zheng Yifan still didn't speak, Xiao Zihan's original good mood was ruined, and he didn't have the patience to wait any longer.

He reached for the phone with his empty hand, unlocked it with his fingerprint, and looked at Zheng Yifan, "Have you finished what you want to say? Just go when you're done. I'm not interested in your emotional journey."

Zheng Yifan: "..." With Xiao Zihan's violent temper, it's no wonder Tang Xuan didn't tell him the truth.

Seeing that Xiao Zihan was about to make a phone call, Zheng Yifan could only speak immediately.

"The reason why I came here today is to tell you about the child." Before Xiao Zihan dialed the phone, Zheng Yifan said hurriedly.

Xiao Zihan's fingertips froze for dialing the phone, and he frowned, "What?"

Zheng Yifan originally intended to whet Xiao Zihan's appetite, but seeing Xiao Zihan like this, he lost his patience.

So, he directly spoke the truth.

"Child, it's yours."

Xiao Zihan's expression didn't change at all, in fact, he was a little bit empty.

After a while, he moved his lips, and said in a barely audible voice, "What... what did you say?"

"Hey, I really wanted to lie to you for a while longer." Zheng Yifan smiled wryly, "But I really didn't expect that you never knew."

Xiao Zihan slowly came to his senses, but the news was so shocking that he couldn't believe it.

Zheng Yifan continued: "Since I have decided to give up, I wish Tang Xuan well. I will tell you the truth, and it is for Tang Xuan's best."

Xiao Zihan: "..."

"I found Tang Xuan by chance when I was on a business trip to her place after she became pregnant." Zheng Yifan recalled the coincidence that day, and still felt that it was a hidden arrangement. , so I forcibly tried to find a way to stay by her side, wanting to touch her and take care of her."

Xiao Zihan pursed his lips, and displeasure flashed in his eyes.

Zheng Yifan didn't care about Xiao Zihan's emotions, and said calmly, "I have confessed to her many times, both openly and secretly, but they were all rejected. So I can only continue to stay by her side as a friend."

Speaking of this, Zheng Yifan plucked his eyebrows uncomfortably, it was a bit embarrassing to admit such a thing in front of his rival.

As for Xiao Zihan's expression, after hearing Zheng Yifan say that Tang Xuan rejected him, he gradually softened.

"Tang Xuan has only you in her heart from the beginning to the end. Although she and I have lived together for a while, we have not had any intimate behavior." Zheng Yifan looked up at Xiao Zihan, "But I think, even if I tell you that, You won't believe it either, will you?"

However, Xiao Zihan suddenly replied: "No, I believe it."

Seeing Zheng Yifan's doubts, Xiao Zihan suddenly smiled and explained, "Based on your love for Tang Xuan and dislike for me for so many years, you wouldn't deliberately make up such a set of words to show weakness."

Zheng Yifan squeezed his fist, "Don't treat me like that kind of villain."

"No." Xiao Zihan said seriously, "I think you are quite responsible."

Zheng Yifan: "..."

Although it was praised, it didn't make Zheng Yifan happy. No matter how much Xiao Zihan paid for Tang Xuan, as a rival in love, he couldn't have a good impression of Xiao Zihan.

Zheng Yifan coughed uncomfortably, stood up, and finally said, "So don't misunderstand Tang Xuan, she really likes you."

Xiao Zihan wanted to say that he hadn't misunderstood, but he couldn't say it.

Before Zheng Yifan told him that the child was him, he had misunderstood Tang Xuan.

"I've finished what I want to say, you can take care of yourself." Zheng Yifan finally took a long look at Xiao Zihan, turned and left.

When he reached the door, he stopped, turned his back to Xiao Zihan, and gritted his teeth, "I'm giving up on Tang Xuan, but you'd better not let her down. If you do something that makes her sad enough to leave you, I will Back again."

Xiao Zihan: "..."

After Zheng Yifan finished what he wanted to say, without waiting for Xiao Zihan's response, he went straight out of the ward.

After Zheng Yifan left, Xiao Zihan realized Zheng Yifan's words belatedly.

He immediately became angry, pulled the pillow by his hand and threw it towards the door.

"Don't even think about it! No way!"

Zheng Yifan had already walked away, and after Xiao Zihan was angry for a while, a smile gradually came to the corner of his mouth.

He pursed his lips at first, but finally, unable to hold back, he burst out laughing.

He laughed so excitedly that the newly healed wound burst open, and the gauze was once again soaked in blood.

Laughed to tears.

……

In Tang Xuan's ward.

Cai Jinyu stood at the door of the ward with her arms folded, and clicked her tongue.

Tang Xuan looked towards the door, and when she saw Cai Jinyu's playful smile, she twitched her lips helplessly.

"I'm sorry, I didn't intend to listen to gossip, but you two are so loud, I could hear it clearly from outside the door." Cai Jinyu shrugged and walked to Tang Xuan's bedside.

Tang Xuan thought about it, she and Zheng Yifan just now didn't seem to have said anything that should not be heard, so she looked at Cai Jinyu openly and openly.

"Okay, you won again." Seeing that she couldn't scare Tang Xuan, Cai Jinyu could only raise her hands in surrender, "So now, that buddy, are you planning to retreat?"

"...He should have given up on me a long time ago." Tang Xuan thought for a while, "He shouldn't have wasted time on me, it's not fair to him."

Cai Jinyu pouted, "Tsk tsk tsk, you women are so cruel."

Tang Xuan smiled wryly, "I'm telling the truth. I couldn't give him a future in the first place, so why give him fantasy?"

"Sounds reasonable." Cai Jinyu nodded solemnly, "But it's still cruel."

Tang Xuan couldn't explain anymore, so she could only change the subject, "Why did you come here suddenly?"

Cai Jinyu, who had been gossiping for a while, remembered that she was here to run errands for Xiao Zihan.

Cai Jinyu felt that Xiao Zihan and Tang Xuan were injured. He and Cai Lin had a lot of responsibilities, so he was willing to serve Xiao Zihan and Tang Xuan to make up for his apology.

Of course, the end is to be ordered around by Xiao Zihan.

"What's that, what's that?" Cai Jinyu scratched his head before he remembered, "Oh, by the way, Xiao Zihan said he missed you, and asked me to ask if you miss him."

Tang Xuan was speechless, and replied angrily, "Tell him, I don't want to."

Cai Jinyu knew Tang Xuan would answer like this, so she couldn't help laughing after hearing it.

He also knew that Tang Xuan was just being stubborn, but she really wanted to see Xiao Zihan.

Before Xiao Zihan and Tang Xuan were together, Cai Jinyu hadn't had a chance to find out more details. Looking at it now, these two guys are both arrogant.

It's still the kind of arrogance that is arrogant to death.

Chatting with Tang Xuan was more comfortable than talking with Xiao Zihan. Cai Jinyu planned to stay with Tang Xuan for a while before going back, so she chatted with Tang Xuan occasionally.

The two chatted about the recent situation of the Xiao Group. Cai Jinyu was talking about an interesting incident when she was handling a case when the door of the ward was suddenly pushed open vigorously.

With a snap, the door was slammed against the wall and bounced again.

Both Cai Jinyu and Tang Xuan were shocked, they turned their heads to look at the door together.

Then, they saw Xiao Zihan leaning on a cane in one hand and holding on to the door frame with the other, panting for breath, looking at them.
