Chasing His Ex: The Tycoon's Hidden Twins

Just like that.

Led by the head nurse, Lu Fan was successfully admitted to a private VIP room.

Seeing this, Jiang Yixia said, "I’m leaving."

"Hey, hey." Lu Fan called out to stop her.

Jiang Yixia frowned, exasperated. "What do you want now?"

"I’m hospitalized now, so you can bring me food," Lu Fan suggested.

"Dream on!" Jiang Yixia retorted. "The hospital has food. Don’t think you can fool me!"

"You know the food here isn’t good. I just love your soup," Lu Fan said, feigning sadness. "After all, this hand of mine needs to recover, right?"

Hearing Lu Fan’s words, Jiang Yixia hesitated for two seconds before her heart softened. "Three days at most!"

"I’ll make your meals for three days, and that’s it! Not a day more!" With that, she left.

Seeing Jiang Yixia about to leave, Lu Fan immediately motioned for Chen He to drive her.

"There’s no need. Just take care of your boss," Jiang Yixia told him.

But how could Chen He disobey Lu Fan’s orders?

He still attended to her diligently, driving her back to the flower shop.

During the ride, Jiang Yixia asked coldly, "How long have you been with him?"

"Almost ten years, Boss Lady," Chen He replied.

"Don’t call me Boss Lady. You can call me Sister Xia, or by my full name, but not Boss Lady," Jiang Yixia responded.

Chen He immediately corrected himself. "Alright, Sister Xia."

"I’ll bring his lunch and dinner on time, but for breakfast, just have your boss grab a quick bite of something," Jiang Yixia explained.

"Understood!"

Jiang Yixia was about to add another reminder.

’But then again, that scumbag has nothing to do with me.’

’I’ve already done more than enough for him.’

So she simply shut her mouth, thinking that she absolutely had to get the shop’s rolling door replaced later.

’It’s all that stupid door’s fault for causing so much trouble!’

「A short while later.」

They arrived at the flower shop. 𝐟𝗿𝐞𝚎𝚠𝐞𝚋𝕟𝐨𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝕔𝕠𝚖

Chen He immediately got out of the car to open the door for Jiang Yixia.

But Jiang Yixia wasn’t used to this. She opened the door herself and then said to Chen He, "I’m not your boss, so I don’t need this kind of treatment. Just think of me as a slightly older sister, a normal person."

"Yes, Sister Xia." Chen He was, of course, completely obedient to Jiang Yixia’s words.

"Alright, go back and take care of your boss. Tell him to go easy on his hand..." Jiang Yixia started to say something out of habit, but cut herself off. "Okay, you can go back now. It’s nothing."

With that, she entered the flower shop.

At that moment, Sister Li was watching a show.

When she saw Jiang Yixia return, she immediately put down her phone.

She asked curiously, "How’s Brother Lu?"

"He got a cut. It’s a bit serious, so he’s been hospitalized," Jiang Yixia explained.

"It’s that serious?!" Sister Li’s eyes widened. She hadn’t expected that a simple cut from the rolling door’s metal sheet would be serious enough to require hospitalization.

Sister Li grew anxious. "Then what are you doing back here, Sister Xia? You should hurry up and keep Brother Lu company."

"He’s in the hospital with doctors looking after him. What would I do there? Besides, I have a business to run," Jiang Yixia said calmly.

Sister Li’s eyes darted around for a moment, and then she tried to persuade her, "You know, I really think Brother Lu is a good guy. The moment he saw you were trapped, he immediately bent open that rolling door to save you."

Jiang Yixia knew Sister Li was about to start lecturing her, so she quickly urged her, "Alright, Sister Li, thank you for watching the shop for me. You should get back to your own store. It’s the afternoon, you probably have customers."

"Okay, okay, you just can’t stand me nagging," Sister Li teased herself.

But before she left, she still added, "Still, Brother Lu really did get hurt trying to help you. The intention was there, Sister Xia."

"I know."

After Sister Li left, Jiang Yixia thought for a moment and finally decided to close the shop for the day.

After struggling to pull down the rolling door, she headed off in the direction of the wet market...

...

"Lulu, I’m heading toward the school now. You can get ready to come out~"

At that moment, Jiang Silu was in her dorm room drawing when she suddenly received a call from Liu Shiting.

She immediately replied, "Okay!~"

She was going to Liu Shiting’s house for dinner tonight.

Naturally, Jiang Silu had to take it seriously.

Liu Shiting took the opportunity to say, "Oh, right, Lulu, you should wear that new dress you just bought! It’s super pretty!~"

"Ah..." Jiang Silu felt that wearing that dress might be too flashy.

She hesitated for a moment.

Besides, she didn’t really dare to appear so extravagant in front of others.

But Liu Shiting encouraged her, "It’s fine, just wear it! If you buy clothes and don’t wear them, when will you?~"

"O-Okay."

After hanging up, Liu Shiting called her mother. "Mom, I’m on my way to pick up my roommate."

"Okay, I’ve already asked Aunt Wang to start cooking."

After saying that, Liu Shiting started driving toward the campus.

The reason she wanted Jiang Silu to wear the expensive dress wasn’t that she doubted it was fake. On the contrary, after Uncle Lu invited them to that Western-style dinner, Liu Shiting was certain that Jiang Silu’s father was definitely rich.

She just wanted Jiang Silu to look more glamorous, so her mother wouldn’t doubt that her roommate was from a rich family.

A short while later, she pulled up to the dormitory entrance.

Just as she parked the car.

Liu Shiting saw Jiang Silu walking out of the dormitory complex in that beautiful dress.

As she emerged, many of the other girls nearby glanced over, their eyes filled with a mixture of surprise and envy.

Jiang Silu, however, felt a bit awkward as she looked for Liu Shiting.

Liu Shiting rolled down the car window and waved at her. "Lulu, over here!~"

Jiang Silu nervously lowered her head and walked over.

After getting into the passenger seat, Liu Shiting praised her, "Lulu, you look so good in this dress!"

"Thank you, Shiting." Jiang Silu’s face flushed red from the compliment.

"This is just a BMW 3 Series, not some luxury car, so don’t mind it," Liu Shiting said self-deprecatingly. "It definitely can’t compare to your dad’s car."

"I... I actually don’t really ride in cars like this. I usually take the bus when I go out," Jiang Silu said awkwardly.

Liu Shiting continued to praise her, "I’ll have to tell my mom later that my roommate is pretty, does well in her studies, and even participates in design competitions. My mom loves it when I hang out with people who are good students."

Seeing that she was being overly praised, Jiang Silu quickly interjected, "I’m not actually that great, you know. I have a lot of flaws..."

"I’m definitely going to show off to my mom that I’ve made such an outstanding best friend. It’ll stop her from nagging me about fooling around all the time, haha~ Let’s get going then~"

「Meanwhile.」

At Yunhai No.1 District.

"What? I have to stay for dinner?" Liu Shiting’s brother, Liu Peng, sounded exasperated. "I made plans with my friends to play basketball. Why do I have to stay for dinner?"

Mrs. Liu explained patiently, "Shiting is bringing her roommate home for dinner later. Mom wants to introduce you two."

"Come on, Mom. Shiting’s roommate is the same age as her, eighteen. I’m already twenty-four. You don’t actually expect me to date an eighteen-year-old girl, do you?" As he spoke, Liu Peng picked up his basketball, ready to leave.

Mrs. Liu said calmly, "According to Shiting, her roommate’s family is very rich—much richer than ours. And she’s very pretty."

The next second, Liu Peng kicked the basketball back into his room and put on an act. "I don’t really care if she’s rich or not. The main thing is, I like pretty girls. Mom, when are they getting here? Do I have time to go downstairs and get my hair done?"
