Fang Yusheng lowered his head, but then, he heard Ji Yinbing’s naturally cold voice ring out again. She said, “You can’t accompany your delicate wife for the New Year.”


  This turn of events caught him off guard.

  Stunned, Fang Yusheng suddenly looked up and opened his green eyes.

  Those green eyes were dark, but Ji Yinbing knew that he was excited.

  “The snake venom in your eyes is more complicated than I expected. I originally planned to remove your snake venom in three operations. But, because it’s been too long, it seems like a complete removal might take four operations. An, give me three months, believe me.”


  Fang Yusheng gripped his pants so tightly that his knuckles turned white.

  “Okay.”


  ***

  Qiao Jiusheng had just taken off her dress and was about to take a shower when her phone rang again.

  She picked up the phone and saw that it was an overseas call. As she stared at the number and thought about it, she found it familiar. “Hello?”


  “Are you asleep?”


  Qiao Jiusheng looked at the phone again.?

  “I’m not. I was just about to take a shower. Didn’t I just get off the phone? Why are you calling again?”


  “I’m fine. I was just a little happy and wanted to share it with you.”


  Qiao Jiusheng could tell that he was overjoyed. She could even hear his laughter.

  She did not know if she felt it, but his joy also infected her, and could not help but smile. “What good thing? Tell me.”


  “I can’t say, but something really happy happened.”


  “…”


  She hated people who were deliberately mysterious.

  Fang Yusheng asked her, “Will you pick me up on the day I return?”


  As a wife, it was only right for her to pick up her husband at the airport.

  “If you want me to, only then I’ll go.”


  Fang Yusheng remained silent.

  At the thought of this man’s feelings for her, Qiao Jiusheng helplessly pursed her lips. “Alright, alright. I’ll pick you up. When will you be back?”


  Fang Yusheng answered, “In three months.”


  Qiao Jiusheng was surprised. “Didn’t you say before that it would be two months?”


  “Change of plans.”


  “What exactly have you gone to America for?” It would not take him so long to meet a beauty. In three months, he would be able to make a baby.

  “It’s a secret.”


  “Useless.”


  After chatting for a while, Qiao Jiusheng hung up the call with Fang Yusheng.

  Even when the call ended, Fang Yusheng could not hide the smile on his lips. He could not help but gently touch the edge of his eye sockets. At the thought that he would be able to see Qiao Jiusheng in three months, he felt a little excited.

  ***

  When Fang Mu’s bodyguard appeared in the ward with the daily necessities, Qiao Jiuyin was surprised. Some uneasiness was still hidden in her heart.

  “Madam, I’ve placed the things here. The boss has hired a nurse. Someone will be serving you 24 hours a day. If you need anything, you can look for the nurse.” The bodyguard then put all the daily necessities on the table.

  Qiao Jiuyin pressed her thin lips together as a melancholic expression appeared on her face. She asked him, “Your boss?”


  The bodyguard replied without looking up, “Boss went to the police station.”


  Upon hearing this, Qiao Jiuyin relaxed.

  “Oh, did your boss say what he plans to do with that person?”


  The bodyguard answered, “Since Boss has handed him to the police, he will naturally do things according to the law.”


  Qiao Jiuyin narrowed her eyes.?

  This was different from what she had expected.

  Qiao Jiuyin pulled the blanket to her chest and covered herself. She said to the bodyguard, “I understand. You can leave.”


  “Rest well, Madam.”


  The bodyguard left.

  Qiao Jiuyin looked at the daily necessities in the ward and felt uneasy.
