Jiang Xiyan became more and more absorbed in reading, his fingers tapping the table unconsciously, the rhythm seemed to be the beat of his inner joy. He kept muttering to himself, "It's wonderful!" His eyes were fixed on the words on the plan, as if he was under a spell, and he was completely immersed in the joy brought by the plan. The ward was very quiet at this time, with only his light tapping and mumbling. The sunlight shone on him, as if he was covered with a layer of golden light, which added to his charm when he was focused.

Just as Jiang Xiyan was immersed in the surprise brought by the plan, the door of the ward was suddenly pushed open again. Xia Qingcheng came back with tears still on her face. The tears were particularly dazzling on her pale face, like broken crystals. But there was a firmness in her eyes, which was like a ray of light in the darkness, although weak, but could not be ignored.

Jiang Xiyan was slightly stunned, and the surprise on his face was instantly replaced by indifference. His eyes instantly turned cold, as if the joy just now had never appeared. "Why are you back again? I said I don't want to see you again." His voice was cold and resolute, like a cold wind in a cold night, blowing straight towards Xia Qingcheng.

Xia Qingcheng took a deep breath and said slowly: "Jiang Xiyan, I know you don't love me, but I still want to try again for our child. I just thought about it for a long time outside, and I don't want our child to be born without a complete family." Her voice trembled slightly, with a hint of pleading, and her eyes were full of worry about the future and love for her child.

Jiang Xiyan frowned, his voice still cold: "I said, this child should not exist. I will not change my decision because of the child." His brows frowned even deeper, as if telling of his inner determination and unquestionableness.

There was a flash of pain in Xia Qingcheng's eyes, but she did not give up. "Jiang Xiyan, you can not love me, but you can not deprive the child of the right to have a father. I don't ask you to love me now, I just ask you to give the child a chance." Her eyes were shining with tears, and those tears contained endless pain and persistence.

Jiang Xiyan was silent for a moment, then turned away. His movements seemed a little impatient, as if he didn't want to face Xia Qingcheng's words anymore. "Go away, I don't want to discuss this issue anymore." His voice was low and cold, as if announcing his determination.

Xia Qingcheng bit her lip, tears welled up in her eyes, but she tried hard not to let them fall. "Jiang Xiyan, are you really so heartless? Don't you care about our past feelings at all?" Her voice was choked with sobs, and her lips were slightly white from being bitten.

Jiang Xiyan still looked away and spoke in a cold voice.

"Love, Xia Qingcheng, you did whatever it took to marry me, and I only hate you." His words were like sharp thorns, piercing Xia Qingcheng fiercely. He turned his face away coldly, not even willing to look at the woman in front of him who made him feel disgusted. His eyes were icy cold, as if they could freeze people in an instant, and that cold expression made people shudder.

"Where are you going?" Jiang Xiyan looked at Xia Qingcheng's departing back, his eyes revealing a barely perceptible worry. He frowned slightly and leaned forward unconsciously. There was a hint of urgency in his voice, as if he was worried about something.

"Where else can I go? Since you hate me so much, I will leave you." Xia Qingcheng's face was full of sorrow. She moved forward with heavy steps. She lowered her head and her shoulders trembled slightly. Her voice was full of helplessness and sadness. Every word was like a heavy stone pressing on her heart.

Jiang Xiyan opened his mouth, wanting to say something but stopping himself, frowning even more. Looking at Xia Qingcheng, his expression was somewhat complicated, and a hint of hesitation flashed in his eyes. "You are only two months pregnant now, where can you go alone?" There was a hint of concern in his voice, although it was very faint, but it seemed particularly abrupt in this tense atmosphere.

Xia Qingcheng turned her head slowly, tears flashing in her eyes. She bit her lip and said in a trembling voice: "Jiang Xiyan, tell me, what should I do to make you like me?" Her eyes were full of expectation and pain, which was a kind of desire and helplessness for love.

Jiang Xiyan turned around indifferently and looked out the window. There was no expression on his face. His eyes were empty and cold. He said in a cold tone: "You don't need to do anything, and I won't like you." His back looked so resolute, as if telling Xia Qingcheng that his heart was closed to her.

"Are you only attracted to Shen Jingyan?" Xia Qingcheng stared at Jiang Xiyan, her eyes full of expectation and pain, her hands clenched into fists. There was a hint of jealousy and unwillingness in her voice, and her clenched fists seemed to express her inner struggle.

Jiang Xiyan answered without hesitation, "Yes." His answer was concise and firm, like a sharp knife, stabbing directly into Xia Qingcheng's heart.

Xia Qingcheng's eyes dimmed instantly. She looked at Jiang Xiyan helplessly and shook her head gently, "Forget it, you can like whoever you like. Anyway, I like you. You should take good care of your injuries and stop hurting yourself." Her voice was full of helplessness and compromise, as if she had accepted this cruel reality.

"Wait." Jiang Xiyan suddenly called Xia Qingcheng. He hesitated for a moment, then said, "Didn't you say before that you could help me solve the company's problems?" A hint of expectation flashed in his eyes, and that expectation seemed particularly abrupt on his cold face.

A flash of surprise flashed across Xia Qingcheng's eyes, and then it was replaced by bitterness. She raised her chin slightly, her eyes full of disappointment, and a self-deprecating smile appeared at the corner of her mouth. "Jiang Xiyan, at this time, you are still thinking about your company. In your heart, am I just a tool that can be used?" There was a hint of anger and self-deprecation in her voice, and the raised chin seemed to be maintaining her last dignity.

Jiang Xiyan was silent for a moment, with a trace of guilt on his face, but it was soon covered up by helplessness. He lowered his head slightly, avoiding Xia Qingcheng's gaze. "I admit that I have no other choice now." His voice was low and helpless, as if he felt guilty for his behavior, but could not change the reality.

Xia Qingcheng took a deep breath and tried to calm herself down. "My father can help you with the business you mentioned last time." There was a hint of firmness in her voice, as if she was giving Jiang Xiyan the last hope.

Jiang Xiyan suddenly turned his head to look at Xia Qingcheng, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, and his body tensed instantly. "Are you serious?" His voice was full of eagerness and expectation, and his surprised eyes seemed to see a ray of light in the darkness.

"Can I still lie to you?" Xia Qingcheng's tone was a little stubborn, she raised her chin, her eyes were firm. Her eyes revealed a kind of confidence and determination, as if telling Jiang Xiyan that she would not lie about this matter.

"Then can you ask your father to come see me now?" Jiang Xiyan said eagerly, leaning forward unconsciously, holding the bed sheet tightly with both hands. His eyes were full of desire, and his eager expression seemed to be waiting for an important answer.

"Okay, I have a condition. As long as you get well, I will take you to see him!" Xia Qingcheng folded her hands in front of her chest and looked at Jiang Xiyan firmly. Her eyes revealed a kind of determination, as if telling Jiang Xiyan that she would not compromise easily.

Jiang Xiyan's handsome face seemed to be covered by frost. He narrowed his eyes slightly, stared coldly at the person in front of him, and said with thin lips: "How dare you negotiate with me?" His voice was as cold as if it came from the Netherworld, chilling to the bone. His eyes were full of anger and dissatisfaction, and the cold eyes seemed to be able to freeze people.

Xia Qingcheng, who was standing opposite, had no intention of retreating. She straightened her back, raised her chin, looked directly at Jiang Xiyan with a firm gaze, and responded loudly without hesitation, "Yes!" This word was crisp and clear, showing her determination and courage. Her eyes revealed a kind of firmness and unyieldingness, as if she was making her position clear to Jiang Xiyan.

Jiang Xiyan immediately lifted the quilt, and the moment the quilt slipped off, a breeze was raised, as if sighing for his impulsiveness. He was about to get out of bed, but his injured leg softened and he fell uncontrollably onto the bed. He gritted his teeth, enduring the pain, his teeth chattering as he said, "Take me away now, or we'll let it go." His face showed a look of pain, his brows knitted into the shape of a "川" character, his face turned pale in an instant, but his eyes were full of determination and stubbornness, like a burning flame, hot and intense.

"You just had a gastric perforation surgery. You can talk about work after you recover. I will solve all your problems for you." Xia Qingcheng hurried forward, her hurried steps raised a trace of dust on the ground. She wanted to support Jiang Xiyan, and she quickly stretched out her hands. Her eyes were full of concern for Jiang Xiyan. Those eyes were like warm sunshine, trying to dispel his pain. Her face was full of worry, and fine beads of sweat oozed out of her forehead unconsciously, as if Jiang Xiyan's pain was also transmitted to her.

"No, I need to see your father now. The company's business can't be delayed any longer." Jiang Xiyan's eyes were full of anxiety, and fine beads of sweat appeared on his forehead. Those beads of sweat flickered under the light, just like his inner anxiety. There was a hint of urgency and helplessness in his voice, and his anxious eyes seemed to tell of his urgency. He stared at Xia Qingcheng closely, and his fingers unconsciously grasped the bed sheet, which was wrinkled by him, just like his tangled heart at the moment.

"Jiang Xiyan, you need to rest for two days. You will be discharged from the hospital after two days. I will ask my father to come to your house to see you. This matter is non-negotiable." Xia Qingcheng's attitude was firm and unquestionable. She narrowed her eyes slightly with a serious expression.
