Wen Shiqi was so frightened by this conjecture that her hands and feet trembled, and her whole body felt as if she had fallen into a world of ice and snow.

But after a moment of blankness, she calmed down again.

Will not.

Although she didn't know why Mrs. Wen wanted her to marry Wen Muchi, she was Wen Muchi's legal wife, and she was the legitimate daughter-in-law of the Wen family. No matter what she did, Mrs. Wen would never give her own grandson. Being a cuckold brought shame to the entire Wen family.

I was really in trouble just now.

Wen Shiqi calmed down and left the building. Not wanting to go, she happened to bump into a man coming from the other direction:

"Senior? Why are you here?"

Xia Xueyi was obviously surprised to meet Wen Shiqi here, and her warm voice was filled with the usual gentleness:

"The hospital needs to shoot a promotional video, and I happen to need my cooperation. What about you?"

"The company had a commercial that happened to be shot here."

"So that's it. You..."

Xia Xueyi nodded, looking at Wen Shiqi, his eyes suddenly became hesitant for some reason, as if he wanted to say something, but didn't know how to say it.

"What's wrong, senior?"

Seeing him like this, Wen Shiqi asked in confusion.

In fact, Wen Shiqi was a little embarrassed facing Xia Xueyi now.

The last time we were in the hospital, Wen Muchi's attitude was really baffling... Fortunately, the senior was not a fussy person...

Xia Xueyi: "Can we... have a chat?"

"Okay." Wen Shiqi nodded in agreement. He happened to see a coffee shop opposite the building and pointed to it, "Let's go there."

"Okay." Xia Xueyi also nodded.

Later, the two went to the coffee shop across the street.

They didn't really want to drink coffee, so they just casually ordered a cup of coffee each.

After the waiter left, Xia Xueyi spoke:

"After you went back that day, your brother didn't say anything about you, right?"

Wen Shiqi was stunned.

Although it was not the first time that Xia Xueyi called Wen Muchi her brother, hearing this title again made her feel a little warm.

However, it was inconvenient to explain too much in the end. She just wondered:

"Why would the senior ask that?"

"It's nothing, it's just that... your brother seemed a little angry when I saw him that day, and I was worried that he would embarrass you."

"No, he...he won't do such a thing."

When he was his "brother", he never felt sorry for her, and he was even the best person in the world to her.

only……

After all, everything is different.

From the time she walked into his room three years ago and that wrong thing happened... nothing can go back...

No, maybe, as early as when she had feelings for him that she shouldn't have, there was no going back between them...

Thinking of this, Wen Shiqi's eyes couldn't help but darken.

Xia Xueyi saw her expression and reaction in his eyes, and his heart tightened.

It seemed that his feeling last time was not wrong. The relationship between Qiqi and her "brother" was indeed not that simple.

He lowered his eyelids to hide the surging emotions in his eyes.

When he raised his eyes again, his gentle and warm look had returned:

"It's okay. I was a little worried...but it seems I was overthinking it. You and your brother seem to get along pretty well."

Wen Shiqi only thought that he was worried about the awkward relationship between her and her adoptive family, so she said this. After hearing this, she couldn't help but smile and said:

"The Wen family is very good to me."

Yes, from a material perspective, the Wen family treated her very well.

Therefore, Wen Shiqi has always been grateful to the Wen family and Mrs. Wen.

Kindness... is more important than mountains...

However, I don’t know when this kindness turned into a shackles...

Thinking of this, Wen Shiqi suddenly felt suffocated.

Just at this time, the waiter brought the coffee over. She picked up her cup and took a big sip.

Fortunately, she ordered iced coffee today. The cold coffee spread all the way to the bottom of her stomach, and the suffocating feeling in her heart dissipated a little.

When she came back to her senses, Wen Shiqi realized that her actions just now might have been a bit abrupt.

Sure enough, when he looked up, he saw Xia Xueyi opposite him looking at him with worry.

She defended stiffly: "I'm a little thirsty."

Xia Xueyi's eyes flashed, but he didn't expose her and just said:

"It's a little hot today and I'm prone to thirst."

As he spoke, he also picked up his coffee and took a sip.

How could Wen Shiqi not know that he was deliberately stepping down for her?

I couldn't help but feel a little warm in my heart.

As expected, the senior is still the same as before, always so gentle to people, and people always feel comfortable getting along with him.

Gradually, the depression in her heart completely dissipated...

Xia Xueyi had been paying close attention to her expression, and naturally noticed her moment of relaxation, and her eyes couldn't help but soften.

He put down the coffee in his hand and then got to the main topic of today:

"Actually... I have a question to ask you today."

"what is the problem?"

"It's...the patient who was admitted to the hospital that day...what's the relationship between her and your brother?"

Wen Shiqi was stunned.

But before she could answer, Xia Xueyi said hurriedly, as if he was afraid that she would misunderstand something:

"I didn't mean to inquire, it's just...last night, your brother suddenly came to the hospital looking for someone, and it made a bit of a fuss.

"Your brother looks... he seems very anxious..."

In fact, what he didn't say was that Wen Muchi almost turned the entire hospital upside down last night.

Although Xia Xueyi didn't say it, Wen Shiqi could imagine it.

Her heart sank.

It turns out... he really went to see Gu Xueman last night...

So, because he couldn't find Gu Xueman, he borrowed wine to get drunk?

So what does everything between him and her last night count?

What did he think of her?

Wen Shiqi suddenly felt that she was ridiculous.

She suppressed the pain in her heart, and after a long time, she slowly spoke:

"Her...name is Gu Xueman, she and my brother grew up together...

"Three years ago, she suddenly went abroad and lost contact with us. She only came back recently..."

Wen Shiqi didn't explain it in detail, but Xia Xueyi keenly discovered something from it.

three years ago?

How come it happened to be three years ago?

Is it a coincidence?

still is……

Xia Xueyi's thoughts were swirling in his mind, but he didn't show it on his face. He just hesitated for a moment and said:

"Actually...I saw something that day."

"what's up?"

"Just after you left the hospital, I seemed to see a man entering Miss Gu's ward."

"Man? What man?"

Wen Shiqi subconsciously wondered if Wen Muchi had returned to the hospital to accompany Gu Xueman after she fell asleep.

But she soon realized, no!

Wen Muchi slept with her that night and did not go out.

Then...who is the man that the senior saw?

She immediately asked:

"Did you see what that man looked like?"

Could it be that... Gu Xueman's sudden disappearance was related to that man?
