Chapter 1

In a private hospital in A City.

It was 3 in the afternoon. The sun was shining brightly outside the window, but inside the hospital room, it was cold and depressing.

Ye Shaotang declined an important meeting to rush to the hospital. His secretary told him that the doctor had pronounced Xu Yi was dead. She had stopped breathing, and there was no heartbeat for half an hour, but…

When he stepped into the hospital room, the doctor told him Xu Yi woke up three minutes ago.

Very good. This woman is getting more cunning day by day. She even colluded with the doctor just to get him to come to see her.

His cold and somber eyes looked at the doctor before asking in a casual, yet threatening thunderous tone, “Tell me, how could a person that’s been dead for half an hour come back to life?”

The doctor’s legs were trembling unconsciously. This incident was just like a fantasy. He had never experienced this in his 20 years of medical experience. He did not know where to start.

“This could be a medical miracle as the human body is very complicated.” The doctor’s gaze landed on Xu Yi who was lying on the hospital bed.

Xu Yi’s eyelashes moved. The doctor was about to say something when Xu Yi opened her eyes. After staring at the ceiling for a few seconds, she asked, “Am I in the hospital?”

She turned her head to look at the doctor and Ye Shaotang standing next to her bed.

It was as if she had seen a ghost, An Xin sprung upright from the hospital bed. “Ye Shaotang, why the hell are you here?”

She did not expect to see the person she hated the most when she woke up. An Xin was so mad she wanted to close her eyes and continue sleeping.

If this man did not anger her best friend, Xu Yi, into having a heart attack, she would not meet with an accident on her way to visit Xu Yi.

“...”

Ye Shaotang’s face darkened. What is this woman trying to play?

“Didn’t I get hit by a car? W-Where are my wounds?” An Xin mumbled and moved her limbs. There was nothing wrong with her. She touched her face. She was not disfigured too. “I’m so lucky. I flew across the street after the car hit me. How am I fine?”

Ye Shaotang looked at ‘Xu Yi’ who was mumbling to herself. He was getting very impatient. He was a smart guy, but now this woman had fooled him. He dismissed the doctor. He wanted to settle his accounts with this woman.

“Are you done fooling around?” His cold voice asked and the room's temperature seemed to decrease a few degrees. His black eyes with a hint of ridicule landed on Xu Yi. "You played dead this time, what are you going to do next?”

“Play dead?” An Xin felt like kicking this heartless man.

She flew so far after being hit by a car, and this man had the nerve to say that she was playing dead?

His own wife’s life was on a string after being angered by him, and now he had the mood to mock his wife’s best friend?

Hmph, trash!

She did not want to beat around the bush anymore, so she went straight to the main point and asked Ye Shaotang, “How’s Lil Yi?”

Ye Shaotang looked at her. Was this woman crazy?

“I said, how’s Lil Yi?” Ye Shaotang’s indifference angered An Xin. Fuming, she lifted her blanket and jumped out of the bed. “Ye Shaotang, don’t tell me you haven’t been to the hospital. Lil Yi must be blind to marry you.”

While berating him, An Xin went in front of him. She was a good head shorter than the man, so she could only lift her head to look up at him. “The hospital had already issued the critical condition notice to Lil Yi. Do you know that? As her husband, it's one thing that you ignore her regularly, but now she's at the brink of death, can't you at least treat her better?"

Ye Shaotang thought this woman was insane.

She looked so experienced in pretending to be sick. And now, what is this? Is she pretending to be insane or is she really stupid?

He pushed the woman's hand away. Ye Shaotang did not even want to look at the woman in front of her. “Xu Yi, do you know what you’re talking about?”

Xu Yi? She was talking about herself?

An Xin stared blankly at him. In the next second, she noticed something incredible in the man’s eyes.

Xu Yi grabbed Ye Shaotang’s face and held it close to inspect. She looked at it in detail like she was treating him like a mirror.

The face that reflected in his eyes was so familiar and amiable. She looked so loveable like a lotus flower that just rose from under the water that everyone would take pity on.
