Chapter 25: Is It My Fault to Have a Pretty Face
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
After a moment of silence, Ouyang Yi asked, “How have you been these few years?”
Tang Li looked at his excited face, and she felt the need to make it clear. “I’ve been good. By the way, I’m already married, and I love my husband deeply. You should be here to visit a patient, so I won’t keep you any longer… Oh, wait, if you know any patients who can’t be treated, you can look for me. I specialize in treating all kinds of complicated diseases.”
“…”
Ouyang Yi felt that Tang Li was hinting at something. He opened his mouth and was about to speak.
Tang Li didn’t give him a chance to speak. She quickly emphasized again, “I’m already married, and I love my husband. I don’t think you, as military personnel, would do something so immoral as to ruin someone’s family, right?”
“…”
Tang Li was very satisfied as she watched the young man leave with a sad expression. She hated ambiguity, especially when it came to relationships between men and women.
As she continued walking for a while, a large park appeared in front of her.
When Tang Li walked over, she saw a familiar face.
It was Situ Jin.
Situ Jin was dressed in a hospital gown as he sat in the pavilion that was surrounded by blooming flowers. He held a handkerchief in his hand and coughed from time to time, looking just like a prince.
Three young nurses were standing beside him.
“Mr. Situ, why don’t we go back? You’re coughing so badly. Doctor Tan said you have to keep yourself warm.”
“Mr. Situ, would you like some water?”
“Mr. Situ, let me massage your back.”
…
Tang Li looked at the four people in the pavilion and suddenly had a feeling that she was not in a hospital but in an ancient brothel.
She crossed her arms and observed Situ Jin.
He was a rich guy and probably had something good to offer, so Tang Li wanted to get to know more about him.
At that moment, Situ Jin, who was still coughing, suddenly raised his head and looked towards her.
Their eyes met.
Tang Li smirked and walked toward him. When she got closer, she purposely imitated the way the nurses addressed him. “Mr. Situ, looks like you’ve been leading a comfortable life ever since you came to the hospital.”
Situ Jin coughed again and said to the three nurses,” I’ll sit here for a while. You guys can go back. ”
The three nurses reluctantly left.
When they walked past Tang Li, they sized her up and thought to themselves, “What a pretty chick. What’s the relationship between her and Mr. Situ?”
Tang Li sized them up, too. Then with a broad smile, she walked up to Situ Jin.
“Situ Jin, are you here in the hospital because you’re too bored?”
Even though Situ Jin was coughing non-stop, Tang Li could tell that his condition was the same as before. She knew that his illness was innate and that staying here in the hospital wouldn’t help him much. All he needed to do was stay at home and rest.
When Situ Jin heard Tang Li’s question, he covered his mouth and coughed twice. After concealing all the emotions in his eyes, he asked instead of answering, “Isn’t Madam supposed to be taking care of Yihan’s father now? Why do have time to walk around?”
He was obviously saying that Tang Li was not doing her job properly.
After all, it was only natural to think ill of somebody, who was roaming about in a hospital full of big shots, instead of taking care of the patient.
Tang Li scoffed and sat opposite him. “There is such a rule in this hospital that says you can’t walk around. Mr. Situ, you don’t have to beat about the bush.”
Then, Situ Jin narrowed his eyes and continued, “I remember that as long as the patient says that he or she doesn’t wish to be disturbed, then the hospital will make sure they’re not disturbed at all costs. So I guess you are here because you are trying to avoid someone, right?”
After saying that, he lowered his eyes and started coughing again.
When Tang Li saw him like this, she smiled and said, “Your family believes that a marriage can help you recover, and it so happened that you have an arranged marriage. You are trying to hide from your fiancee, aren’t you?”
Situ Jin finally stopped coughing and looked sharply at Tang Li. At the same time, a mocking smile appeared on his lips. “I used to think that Miss Tang was a very lovable person, but now I know that Miss Tang likes to pry into other people’s privacy. Tell me, what do you want?”
Tang Li looked at Situ Jin. To people who ridiculed her, she usually liked to retort immediately. “Do you think that a sickly person like you, who is about to die, will have anything that I want? Money? Do you have as much money as my husband? Stamina? With your body, I can crush you to death with one finger.”
When Situ Jin heard these words, a flash of ruthlessness flashed across his eyes. Then, he coughed twice. When he looked up, his expression became very calm. “So what does Miss Tang want?”
Tang Li placed her hands on her knees and glanced at him. “I thought about treating you for free because you’re Yihan’s friend, but I’ve changed my mind now. If you ask me to treat you again, you’ll have to pay double.”
With that, she stood up and left.
After taking two steps, she stopped and reminded him kindly without turning her head, “You’d better be more careful these two nights because you might die. After all, it’s difficult to treat your illness without touching women.”
Situ Jun, who was about to cough, suddenly shuddered. He looked up at Tang Li, who was already far away, and a gloominess flashed across his eyes.
How did she know?
When Tang Li returned, Butler Zhang was waiting for her outside the villa.
Upon seeing her, Butler Zhang heaved a sigh of relief and hurried over to her. “Madam, you’re finally back.”
Tang Li looked at him in confusion. “What’s the matter?”
Apparently, Butler Zhang was trying to find a proper way to put his words. After a few seconds, he said, “Madam, you didn’t look at your phone, right?”
“Nope.”
In reality, Tang Li did not have many relatives, and she did not like to bring her phone with her. This habit could not be changed anytime soon.
“Just tell me what it is.”
“It’s just that… There’s a lot of news about Mr. Bai on the Internet all of a sudden, and It was said that he has a sugar mommy. Someone suspected that you are the sugar mommy.”
“What else did they say?”
“They also said that the reason why Mr. Bai became so popular in such a short period of time is that he has a sugar mommy. Then, an insider revealed that Mr. Bai’s sugar mommy is a madam from upper-class society who is especially good-looking. From this information, many people infer that his sugar mommy is you.”
Tang Li was silent for a while. Suddenly, she sighed while touching her face. “Apparently, a pretty face is not all that good.”
Butler Zhang thought to himself, “Madam, aren’t you focusing on the wrong thing?”
