Chapter 786: Concealment (5)

She smiled back. “Yeah, this restaurant’s food isn’t great!”

Weiyi looked at Nuannuan and then looked at Gu Yansheng sitting opposite her. He was eating slowly, as if he did not know the taste of food.

“Why don’t I go get food from another restaurant?” He was about to get up, but he knew very well that the reason s.h.i.+ Nuannuan could not eat was not really because of the food. But he did not want Weiyi to notice.

Obviously, he had to work with the situation.

When she saw him get up, s.h.i.+ Nuannuan hurriedly said, “No, there’s no need. It’s just that I’m not very hungry. I ate some snacks at home before I came!”

“Nuannuan, are you…worried about something?”

s.h.i.+ Nuannuan’s heart suddenly sank when she was asked this question.

She looked up at Zuo Weiyi. She knew that her sister-in-law must have noticed her absent-mindedness when she was eating just now.

If she said that she didn’t, it would be even more suspicious.

Therefore, she nodded and pretended to be very unhappy. “Yes! I sent Xiangyi a WeChat message, but he never replied to me!”

In the past two days, she had sent countless messages to Xiangyi and called him countless times, but in the end, he didn’t reply to her, not even once…

Zuo Weiyi knew that Nuannuan liked Xiangyi. She also knew that due to the disparity in their statuses, Xiangyi always had a heart that wanted to return her love but didn’t dare to. Even though Nuannuan had taken the initiative countless times, he did not dare to respond to her easily.

He was afraid that this relations.h.i.+p that should not exist would only become a bubble in the end.

s.h.i.+ Nuannuan’s excuse worked. It made Zuo Weiyi think that the reason she was unhappy and became lost in her thoughts was because Xiangyi did not reply to her messages.

“Nuannuan, I believe that Xiangyi cares about you. But he has his reservations. I believe that one day, he will open his heart to you. Do you still remember that time when we thought you were poisoned? At that time, Xiangyi cared about you a lot.”

s.h.i.+ Nuannuan’s mind suddenly flashed back to that moment. The anxious expression on Xiangyi’s face only made her heart hurt even more.

Tears unconsciously slid down her face.

Zuo Weiyi was taken aback. She was about to get up to comfort s.h.i.+ Nuannuan, “Nuannuan, don’t—”

Just as she was about to lean forward to comfort Nuannuan, the wound on her stomach suddenly felt like it was splitting open from her movements. The pain caused her to frown in pain!

Seeing this, Gu Yansheng hurriedly got up and walked over with a concerned look on his face. “Weiyi, you can’t move around!”

Upon hearing his words, s.h.i.+ Nuannuan suddenly looked up and realized that Weiyi had aggravated her wound.

She also became anxious and worried. “Sister-in-Law! Are you…are you alright?”

Taking a deep breath, Zuo Weiyi felt that the pain in the wound on her stomach had eased up a little. “I’m fine, I’m fine.”

“Sister-in-Law, don’t worry about Xiangyi and me anymore! Brother Shenghao said that your condition during the surgery wasn’t good and that you need to recuperate properly. If your wound ruptures again, it won’t be good!” s.h.i.+ Nuannuan’s face was filled with anxiety as she saw Weiyi in so much pain that she started sweating.

“Let me see if the wound has ruptured.” As she spoke, s.h.i.+ Nuannuan carefully lifted the blanket a little and examined the wound in her lower abdomen. Fortunately, there was no blood oozing out, so it should be fine.

She put the blanket down and looked up at Zuo Weiyi. “Sister-in-Law, you must not move recklessly next time.”
