Beg Me to Remarry
Chapter 378: Fooling Around is Bad for Her

"Bai Wei, Su Cheng and I are just simple friends, so you shouldn’t joke about us anymore."

This statement successfully dissipated the flush on Su Cheng’s face. Even though he was prepared, it still pained him, but he quickly concealed his emotions and even echoed in agreement, "Yes, Bai Wei. Don’t joke about it anymore in the future. It’s fine for me as a boy, but it’s not good for Fu Han."

Bai Wei initially wanted to say more, but she ultimately swallowed her words in the face of Su Cheng’s pleading gaze.

...

First Hospital in A City.

The Lamborghini roared in, snatching the last parking space with grandeur.

He Xing opened the door, took off his sunglasses, got out, shut the door—a series of movements as smooth as flowing water—drawing gasps from the surrounding crowd. A luxury car and a handsome man were always the focal point of attention.

Unfortunately, Liang Tao, sitting in the passenger seat, wasn’t so lucky. As he got out, he failed to notice and accidentally stepped in some mud, staining the limited edition sneakers he had just bought with his month’s salary.

He winced at the noticeable black mark on his white sneakers, tempted to crouch and wipe it. But He Xing had already walked to the hospital entrance, and if he didn’t catch up, he might have to call to find out where He Xing was—an audacious act he wouldn’t dare commit.

By the time Liang Tao entered, He Xing was already standing in front of the main service desk. By the time he jogged over, He Xing had already made his way through the crowd and was heading deeper into the hospital.

The hospital in daylight was as bustling as the market in the morning, so crowded it could be described as packed like sardines.

He Xing wove through the crowd like a nimble fish. However, fortunate for Liang Tao, despite falling further behind, he never lost sight of the right direction.

They passed the outpatient building, the administrative building, the first inpatient building... Finally, He Xing stopped at the ground floor Inpatient Department.

Liang Tao, naturally overweight, had chased for a distance and beads of sweat had already formed on his forehead. Fortunately, he squeezed into the elevator with He Xing just before the doors closed.

The elevator was crowded, with He Xing standing at the back and Liang Tao near the door; if the elevator were a can of sardines, he would be the one right on the edge, ready to burst out as soon as the can was opened.

Sometimes, one really couldn’t help but admit that there were many paradoxes about He Xing, which somehow seemed perfectly natural on him.

He Xing was squashed against the wall by the crowd, yet there was no trace of panic or even discomfort on him. Standing there, he seemed as calm and composed as he did when he stood beside the projector during his weekly meetings, unruffled and undisturbed; he appeared to belong to a different world than the other people in the elevator.

The elevator doors opened and closed until only Liang Tao and He Xing were left inside.

Liang Tao stood a meter away from He Xing, took a covert glance at him, and said in a low voice, "President He, don’t think I’m speaking out of turn, but the Xia Family affair is a mess that brings bad luck to anyone who gets involved. Others avoid it like the plague, so why do you insist on getting involved?"

He Xing’s eyebrows twitched, and his eyes, cold as stars, bore into Liang Tao with no hint of warmth, "Who said I’m going to meddle in the Xia Family’s mess?"

"You..." Liang Tao swallowed, carefully looking at He Xing. "You’re rushing over here in such a hurry; isn’t it to deal with the crisis at Xia Group?"

He Xing gave Liang Tao another icy glare. However, before he could speak, the elevator doors opened and He Xing strode out first.

Liang Tao watched his back, which against the light looked like the silhouetted form of a noble orchid under the hazy moonlight—tall and straight, as if nothing in this world could bend his spine.

Xia Cheng’s premium ward was right beside the elevator. He Xing stood by the door, glancing sideways at Liang Tao, who immediately got the hint and stepped forward to knock on the door.

After a few seconds, a faint "Come in" was heard from inside. Liang Tao hurriedly pushed the door open and, extending an arm, bowed respectfully, "President He, please."

He Xing walked in with an unaffected gaze, accepting the attention of those present with stoic indifference.

In fact, saying "those present" wasn’t quite accurate; there were only four people in the room, including Xia Cheng on the hospital bed, but the focused gazes of these eight eyes were more intense than those of another eight people combined.

It was mainly because the four individuals in the room were not to be trifled with; their united gaze on He Xing created a stark contrast.

Aside from Xia Cheng with bandages wrapped around his head, there was Xia Ning on the sofa holding a cellphone, and Xia Guoxiong with his assistant, each seated on either side of the hospital bed.

Liang Tao had seen the assistant once and had a deep negative impression—she was a sharp-tongued, venomous beauty. He suspected she was the one who had stirred up the relationship between Xia Guoxiong and Xia Cheng into such a mess.

He was surprised to see that at this stage, these three could coexist peacefully. Liang Tao couldn’t help but glance at He Xing, who, despite his usual expressionless facade, revealed barely contained inner turmoil through the throbbing vein at his temple.

"Big Brother He Xing, you’re here..."

Xia Ning stood up in surprise, throwing herself at He Xing as if seeking the embrace of a long-lost love.

Only to be thwarted as He Xing deftly sidestepped, causing her to miss her mark; and the words she was about to speak were interrupted by Xia Guoxiong’s assistant, Qin Nuan.

"Oh, isn’t this President He? What kind of wind has blown such an esteemed person over here? I’m truly flattered," Qin Nuan spoke with an irritating tone, intentionally provocative, sarcastic, and seemingly eager to stir trouble.

Although Liang Tao had braced himself for even the most melodramatic issues in the Xia Family not affecting him, seeing Qin Nuan address He Xing with such disrespect and in the manner of a hostess, he felt a surge of anger rising within him.

Yet He Xing remained as nonchalant as ever, merely giving Qin Nuan a cursory glance, which immediately wiped the smug expression off her face.

He Xing’s eyelids lifted slightly, directing his attention to Xia Guoxiong, his voice still unblended, "What, does President Xia not welcome me?"

Before Xia Guoxiong could respond, Xia Ning was up in the air again, bounding towards He Xing, but this time she learned to stop gracefully before him, "Welcome, Big Brother He Xing. We are very glad you’ve come to visit my brother."
