Heather was interrupted, and she felt puzzled for a moment.
Why wouldnāt he let her finish speaking?
"It doesnāt matter if Iām disappointed, Miss Hai shouldnāt be hurt. We all care about her deeply. We originally thought that although fate has been somewhat unfair to her, it made up for it in other ways, which was a good thing. But... who would have thought..." The young nurse spoke, unusually untempted by Nian Shenās good looks, and instead started reprimanding him, "Who would have thought Mr. Nian would move on so quickly!"
"Itās all my fault," Nian Shen said, pretending to regret, "Iāll remember your words and deeply reflect on my mistakes."
"Really?" The young nurse looked overjoyed. "So, you two wonāt break up?"
"No, Iāll seek her forgiveness."
As soon as he finished speaking, the young nurse looked at the two of them with great anticipation.
Heather had absolutely no clue what was going on.
To her surprise, Nian Shen even held her hand, and with a sincere expression, said to her, "Will you forgive me?"
Huh...?
Heather was even more dumbfounded. What kind of act was this?
Seeing the young nurseās hopeful gaze, Heather hesitantly replied, "So I should... say yes?"
As soon as she said that, the young nurse became ecstatic, practically bouncing with joy, "This is wonderful! Iām beginning to believe in love again! You must be happy together! Donāt let reality defeat you, Iām rooting for you two!"
Uh...!
Girl, arenāt you being a little too excited here?
After the young nurse left, Heather quickly pulled her hand back and asked him, "Whatās this about? Why didnāt you just tell her that Miss Qu is your actual girlfriend?"
Why have me play along...
Nian Shen chuckled and said, "Didnāt you see how the girl was radiating hope for love? How could I bear to shatter the beautiful image she has in her heart? Let her believe in loveāitās not a bad thing."
Heather gave a helpless laugh, "Fairy tales are always beautiful, but she needs to learn to trust reality. You can fool her for a while, but not forever. Sheās bound to realize the truth eventually, so itās better to shatter her illusions now rather than later."
"Then just make sure weāre not found out."
"Do you have a plan to guarantee not being discovered?"
"Iāll find a way."
Heather couldnāt understand why he was smiling.
During Nian Shenās stay in the hospital, Heather took care of all his daily needs. Yi Yang found his workload drastically reduced, to the point where the only thing he could do was deliver food for them daily; he had nothing else to do.
He joked in private with Heather, saying sheād stolen his job.
"The one who should be upset isnāt me; itās our boss, Mr. Nian. With one person doing the work, he has to pay two salaries."
"Haha," Yi Yang laughed, amused. "Thatās true."
The two of them were chatting outside the hospital room when they saw Qu Leqi walking over from a distance. She wore her usual outfit, an attempt to disguise herself as Qu Leqi while making it blatantly obvious that she was indeed Qu Leqi.
Heather stood by the door and whispered a few words to Yi Yang while her gaze was fixed on something behind Qu Leqi.
Yi Yang immediately caught on, nodded, and walked right past Qu Leqi to grab the journalist hiding in the corner, who was preparing to take photos.
"Iām here to see Mr. Nian. Please let me through." After her previous experience, Qu Leqi seemed more polite this time.
"Iām sorry," Heather said, not moving aside. "This time, Iām not deliberately blocking you. Itās just that Mr. Nian really doesnāt want to see you. Miss Qu, last time you decided on your own to expose your relationship, and itās clear that Mr. Nian is actually quite upset about it."
