Chapter 408: Chapter 408: The Siblings’ "Deal

"It’s not a room," Bai Wei whispered in reminder, "it’s a ward. I was following your instructions, taking good care of cousin He Xing in the hospital."

Bai Qian sighed and turned to Fu Xingbo, "Well, since she is taking care of He Xing at the hospital, then... let it be."

When Fu Xingbo looked at Bai Wei, the corner of his eye caught the gaze of Su Cheng and Ji Liangchuan; he cleared his throat, his tone regaining its calm, "Bai Wei, it’s getting late. You should head back to sleep and be careful on your way."

After hanging up the phone, Fu Xingbo calmly said to Su Cheng and Ji Liangchuan, "I hope nobody else finds out about tonight’s incident."

"I absolutely won’t speak of it, Uncle. Rest assured," Su Cheng assured, his behavior consistently like that of a good baby.

"I won’t say a thing either," Ji Liangchuan followed, not to be outdone.

Bai Qian sent all three men out and stayed in the ward herself. She asked the nursing aide to help Fu Han wipe down and change into a set of clean clothes.

According to the doctor, Fu Han would wake up within four hours. Her face couldn’t be exposed to water in the following days and it was best she only wiped down her body once a day without taking a shower.

Meanwhile, in A City, Bai Wei, after dealing with her parents, was now facing He Xing’s judgement. She sat in front of the couch, head drooping like a child who had done wrong.

He Xing remained as he had been in the video, sitting on the hospital bed. His handsome eyes unblinkingly fixed on Bai Wei, his words cold as ice, "You say you, can’t even handle this trivial matter well, what else can I expect from you?"

Every word hit the ground with force, exceptionally piercing in the quiet ward.

Bai Wei’s face turned crimson and pale. With her years of matching wits with He Xing, she figured the smartest thing to do was to thicken her skin and let He Xing vent until his anger blew over.

But today, Bai Wei felt a surge of anger, and of course, an even greater sense of guilt. She opened her mouth, her argument weak and lacking conviction, "You can’t just say it like that. These past few days my phone was just like your own phone, did I say anything? It was found by my parents. What if I don’t explain myself, and they forbid me from being with Luo Qinghe in a fit of anger? What then?"

The white incandescent lamp above shone directly onto He Xing’s face. They say light can magnify a person’s flaws infinitely, yet under such intense light, He Xing’s face remained flawlessly perfect, like a piece of white jade.

However, He Xing’s voice was as cold as white jade, "Hmph, even without me, it’s not certain you and Luo Qinghe could get married."

"What do you mean by that?" Her words successfully turned Bai Wei from feeling guilty and angry to outright furious, "Who says I won’t end up with Luo Qinghe? Our relationship is great."

He Xing’s already impassive face turned even colder. He bluntly said, "Don’t think that I won’t know just because you don’t tell me. Luo Qinghe’s parents don’t approve of your marriage at all."

"You..." Bai Wei’s eyes widened so much they seemed about to pop out, her whole body trembling with rage, "How... how did you find out?"

He Xing stretched out his arms and legs, finally showing a hint of a smile on his face, "Do you really think the reputation of He Group as A City’s number one enterprise is just for show? Let me tell you, in A City, there’s nothing I can’t find out if I want to."

Even though He Xing’s smile could only be described as dazzling, like a night-blooming cereus, Bai Wei was in no mood to appreciate his smile at that moment.

After pondering over He Xing’s words repeatedly in her mind, she ultimately felt they were sensible. She approached He Xing, her face wearing a supplicatory smile, "He Xing... cousin, what do you say we should do to get his parents to agree to our marriage?"

"You two?" He Xing looked at Bai Wei askance, stroking his chin with a meaningful tone, "I don’t want Fu Han to find out that the person she has been chatting with these past few days has been me. You... understand what I mean, right?"

Bai Wei frowned, taking a few seconds to react before she finally grasped He Xing’s meaning. She nodded vigorously, "Understood, understood, I’ll handle it right away."

After saying that, she took her phone and went out. Before leaving, she even turned back to give He Xing a flattering smile, and faintly, one could hear her talking with Bai Qian.

Now alone in the ward, He Xing couldn’t help smiling as he thought of Bai Wei’s obsequious behavior. Of course, the main reason he was able to smile was because Fu Han’s surgery had been successful.

He Xing had not been able to see Fu Han off at the airport the day she left. As a result, his recent messages to her had mostly been one-sided, with him sending ten messages for each single, exceptionally cold reply from her.

Left with no alternative, He Xing had to resort to using Bai Wei’s identity to chat with Fu Han. Unexpectedly, their chats turned out to be quite joyful, and Fu Han would occasionally share her past life abroad with him.

But such chats were risky. He Xing didn’t need to guess to know that with Fu Han’s personality, if she found out it had been He Xing chatting with her all along, she wouldn’t be touched. Instead, she would feel deceived by him. She was already ignoring him now; in the future, she would probably blacklist him forever.

A deep sigh echoed as He Xing rubbed his forehead. Although the car accident hadn’t caused any permanent damage, the outward injuries to his body were severe, and he had not yet recovered his strength due to significant blood loss.

All this meant that He Xing’s chance to visit Fu Han after discharging from the hospital kept getting delayed. He was anxious but helpless; in his current state, no one would agree to his discharge.

A few minutes later, Bai Wei returned, her face revealing unmistakable fatigue beneath her smile. She swung open the door and excitedly waved at He Xing, "It’s taken care of. My mom said she won’t tell Fu Han and will ensure that everyone else who knows keeps it a secret."

"Everyone else?" He Xing raised an eyebrow, asking somewhat helplessly, "Exactly how many people are aware of this situation?"

Counting on her fingers, Bai Wei listed for He Xing, "My parents, Luo Qinghe, Su Cheng, and Ji Liangchuan. Don’t worry, just the five of them."

"Just five people?" He Xing laughed bitterly, his sarcasm uncontrollable, "The way you put it, one would think it’s only a small number."

"It’s not that many either," Bai Wei chuckled, planning to be as brazen as she could be, "You should be grateful they’re overseas, not many know Fu Han, there aren’t as many to keep her company, or else there’d be even more people in the know."
