“It’s only normal for friends to visit.” Mo Shuifu said indifferently.
She was unaware that Shen Shihan was going to come, had she known, she would have definitely not let him into the ward.
She disliked explaining herself, and thus, she also disliked getting herself into unnecessary trouble.
Shen Shihan was an exception. If possible, she would repay the money on that bank card as soon as she could.
“Young lady, the gentleman just admitted it, oh, he said he’s your boyfriend.” The old lady smiled and teased Mo Shuifu.
Shen Shihan didn’t bother explaining and just stood to the side with his arms crossed.
Even in the chaotic ward, Shen Shihan seemed completely out of place, but he still maintained his elegance and poise.
“He’s fooling you all, don’t believe his words.” Mo Shuifu glanced coldly at Shen Shihan.
“Young lady, there’s nothing wrong with admitting it. I think you two are quite a match, one beautiful and the other handsome – a truly heavenly pair. Just now, the gentleman even said he’d pay your mother’s medical expenses.” The old lady spoke without thinking and Shen Shihan’s eyebrows furrowed.
True to form, Mo Shuifu’s expression changed.
The woman next to her quickly signaled with her eyes, and the talker refrained from speaking.
Mo Shuifu lightly tucked her hair behind her ear. She glanced at Shen Shihan but did not speak right away.
She walked over to the nurse and asked softly, “Nurse Miss, did my mother take her medicine on time today?”
“Yes, she did. You can rest assured, I’ll come over when it’s time.”
“Good, thank you. You can go back to your work.”
“Alright, Miss Mo, please take good care of the patient. The doctor said she’s been recovering well lately. When you have time, you can talk with her more.”
“I know, I will.”
The nurse left the ward with an armload of items. Mo Shuifu took another look at Shen Shihan standing by the bed, walked past him, and towards the bed.
She fixed the quilt for her mother and touched her forehead to make sure there was nothing wrong; only then, reassured, did she go to pour water.
After pouring hot water and adjusting medicine, her movements were smooth, all done in one go, very natural.
An old lady in the bed next to her watched her and sighed silently, “Miss Mo is really dutiful.”
“Indeed, it’s not easy for her.”
Shen Shihan watched silently, not speaking. Several times he wanted to help her, but he knew she would definitely refuse.
She was terribly afraid of having any connection with him.
Her figure was slender and frail, even her knuckles were somewhat pale, showing how tired she really was.
A strand of hair fell beside her ear, and a drop of sweat trickled down her temple.
Shen Shihan handed her a handkerchief, “Wipe the sweat off.”
Mo Shuifu looked up, “Thank you.”
But she did not take it.
Shen Shihan’s hand lingered in mid-air, slightly embarrassed.
He laughed at himself, realizing that in her presence, he had always played the role of a fool in love.
Mo Shuifu quickly finished taking care of everything and went to the sink with her mother’s clothes to wash them.
“Mr., why is the young lady so indifferent to you? Did you make her angry?” As soon as Mo Shuifu left, the old ladies began gossiping again.
Shen Shihan tugged at the corner of his mouth faintly, “That’s not the case.”
“Hey, are you ordinary friends, or boyfriend and girlfriend? Just tell us secretly.”
“Ordinary friends.”
The old ladies immediately looked disappointed, their enthusiasm dimming.
“Then why are you paying Miss Mo’s medical bills? Her medical bills are no small amount,” one old lady pointed out the issue.
“Just helping a friend,” Shen Shihan replied, being a man of few words, he didn’t offer any further explanation.
Soon, Mo Shuifu returned after washing the clothes. She tidied up everything, then hastily grabbed her bag, ready to leave.
“Mr. Shen, I have something to tell you.” Mo Shuifu spoke in a low voice, walking towards the outside of the ward.
She was very polite to Shen Shihan, calling him “Mr.,” always maintaining a distance from him.
They walked to a quiet little rest room in the hospital before Mo Shuifu stopped.
Only the two of them were in the rest room, silent enough that not a hint of noise could be heard.
The wind blew against the aluminum windows, making them thump, adding to the somber atmosphere.
“Mr. Shen,” she raised her head, her large eyes fixated on Shen Shihan.
Her eyes were beautiful, touching but not bewitching, pure and clear, revealing countless restraints.
Shen Shihan also looked at her intently. This was the first time he seriously looked at her in daylight. He realized she was different during the day from when she was at Weiyang at night.
Her aura always emitted a bookish charm, intoxicating and enchanting. Like a lotus flower that grows from the mud but remains unsoiled, fragrant even when there’s no one to appreciate it.
Their gazes met, and Mo Shuifu slowly began to speak.
“Mr. Shen, thank you for your concern. From now on, could you please not visit the hospital? I don’t want anyone to disturb my mother, nor our lives.”
“Mo Shuifu, have you ever considered me a friend?” Shen Shihan furrowed his brow.
“I think we’re just a lender and a debtor.”
“Huh, you’re washing your hands of it very cleanly,” Shen Shihan scoffed sarcastically.
Had she forgotten that he once saved her life?
Of course, how could she remember? That day she was unconscious and covered in blood.
“Not at all. Mr. Shen, I’ll pay back your money as soon as possible. I remember it all; I won’t wash my hands of it.”
“You!” Shen Shihan was also angered by her words. What sort of thing was that to say?
“Mr. Shen, let’s not meet again in the future.”
“Then let me ask you, how do you plan to handle your mother’s huge medical bills? Eight hundred thousand won’t last long.”
“I’ll find a way. You don’t need to worry, Mr. Shen.”
“As if I want to worry about it.”
“If there’s nothing else, I’ll be leaving now.”
“By the way, have you found a new job?” Shen Shihan asked indifferently, was she that annoyed with him?
“Yes, a company kindly took me in, and I’ve found a job with a decent salary.”
Mo Shuifu spoke with displeasure. It was this man before her who cost her her job, and now he was offering hollow concern.
“That’s good. Work hard and make a good impression,” Shen Shihan smiled slightly.
In fact, he was the one who had found the job for her. A word from him, Shen Shihan, and there would be no one who wouldn’t give him face.
The job, in marketing and planning – a newcomer would earn three to four thousand a month at most. But he had the company’s CEO bump it up to thirty or forty thousand…
Consider it him meddling.
So Shen Shihan ended up with the bad reputation of being meddlesome.
“Of course, I’ll definitely work hard to pay back Mr. Shen’s money at the earliest.”
“As you please.” Shen Shihan sounded impatient.
“I’ll be going now.” Mo Shuifu was still reluctant to stay with him.
“Wait, I heard from the old ladies in the ward that you got married?” Shen Shihan deliberately said.
“Who said that?” Sure enough, Mo Shuifu’s eyebrows furrowed, “They’re always making jokes about me.”
“Oh, so you haven’t gotten married yet, do you have a boyfriend?”
“That’s my personal matter.” Mo Shuifu’s tone was displeased.
“It seems not, with your bad temper, no man would like that,” Shen Shihan laughed mockingly.
