Chapter 469: Chapter 0469: Not What Was Expected

Thinking of these things, Jack hurriedly redialed the number.

"What do you want now? Didn’t you let go and tell me to pursue happiness? Why are you calling me again?"

Li Wenxuan asked in a cold tone.

"Xuan’er, listen to me, I didn’t know Tang Ming was your fake boyfriend before, I thought you liked him, so I stepped back."

Jack explained earnestly, and then said excitedly, "Now that I know he’s fake, I must fight for my own happiness, so just give me a chance."

"Hmph, you gave up so easily, how do I know if you’re sincere?"

Li Wenxuan snorted defensively.

"Of course, I’m sincere, I can swear to heaven, I will be good to you for the rest of my life," Jack vowed earnestly.

"We’ll see how you behave in the future," Li Wenxuan responded indifferently, and casually asked:

"Where are you now? You haven’t already gone back overseas, have you?"

"No, I’m at the hospital!"

Jack responded instinctively, immediately realizing he’d said something wrong, if Li Wenxuan found out he had become a eunuch, then he really wouldn’t stand a chance at all.

And there was another thing, Qin Aotian had once cautioned him to never reveal his whereabouts, otherwise both Tang Ming and the police might come looking for him.

"Hospital, are you sick?" Li Wenxuan immediately asked with concern.

"Just a minor illness," Jack quickly glossed over, feeling sweet that Li Wenxuan was worried about him, and he stopped fretting about misspeaking.

"Does a minor illness require a hospital stay? Which hospital are you at? I’m coming to see you right now."

Li Wenxuan shouted with utmost urgency, "Really, you don’t know how to take care of yourself. And why didn’t you tell me you were in the hospital, is this what liking me is supposed to mean?"

Jack was touched by Li Wenxuan’s concerned, reproachful words, but he worried that telling her to come over would reveal his secret, and he quickly said:

"It’s really just a minor illness, you don’t need to worry, I’ll take good care of myself in the future."

"No, where exactly are you? I must see you right away. If you won’t let me come over, then you come find me, or else... or else just don’t come looking for me ever again."

Li Wenxuan cried out with a sob in her voice.

"I... alright, I’m in room 501 at the Third Hospital."

Hearing this, Jack helplessly told Li Wenxuan his location, silently planning to arrange everything properly before her arrival.

"Stay where you are, I’ll take time off and come to you right away," Li Wenxuan said, relieved, eagerly adding:

"Do you need anything or any particular food you want to eat? I can bring it to you."

"No need, no need, as long as you can come see me, that’s all I could wish for," Jack responded with a face full of happiness.

Afterward, Li Wenxuan hung up, and Jack was left gazing at his phone screen, muttering to himself:

"She actually cares so much about me, she must have liked me from the start. If I had known this, I wouldn’t have ended up in such a state... Doctor, doctor!"

After savoring his happiness for a while, Jack started yelling hoarsely.

He had to get the doctor to change his medical records before Li Wenxuan arrived and to make sure the medical staff all had their stories straight.

Glancing at Shi Tou, who was still in a coma, Jack decided to cover him with a white cloth later, as if he were a dead man, so as not to disturb the intimate world he and Li Wenxuan would have.

In the school office, after hanging up the phone, Li Wenxuan immediately stood up and excitedly said,

"It’s settled, he’s in Ward 501 at the Third Hospital."

"That can actually work?"

The three girls stared dumbfounded at Li Wenxuan, who had managed to wrangle the hiding location from Jack’s mouth—she was too awesome.

"What are you three still dazed for?"

After putting on her jacket, Li Wenxuan looked at the three stunned girls with confusion, then without turning back, she said while walking out, "Don’t you want to know Tang Ming’s whereabouts anymore? Hurry up and follow me to the hospital."

"Teacher Li is too amazing," Xia Wei’er said with admiration.

"That acting is definitely Oscar-worthy!"

Liu Mengting was full of admiration as well.

"Scheming bitch! Teacher Li is definitely a terrifying scheming bitch,"

Li Xiaoli said with a mix of wariness and disdain, grabbing her backpack and chasing after her.

Li Wenxuan directly ditched work, leading the three girls to rush to the Third Hospital. She had previously scolded Liu Mengting and the others for skipping class for no reason, yet not long after that, she herself skipped work for Tang Ming’s matter—truly...

Jack had the doctor alter the medical records to appendicitis surgery and also warned the medical staff not to reveal his actual condition. Finally, he had someone bring a screen to separate him from Shi Tou and had someone help him wash up and tidy his hair and clothes. He looked considerably more spirited.

Once he was ready, Jack lay on the bed, his face full of anticipation as he awaited Li Wenxuan’s arrival, fantasizing about the meticulous care and warmth the goddess would bring upon her arrival, and she might even shed a few tears of compassion...

Just thinking about all this almost made Jack float on air, the only regret being that his lower half was out of commission—if not, he might have had the chance to make a move on Li Wenxuan right there on the hospital bed, which would have been too wonderful.

Lost in his wild fantasies, Jack had waited for a while when he finally heard footsteps outside. He quickly reached out to tidy up his hair, trying to strike as charming a pose as possible, hoping to make a good impression on Li Wenxuan.

"501, this is it!"

The next moment, the door of the ward opened, and several figures rushed in.

Ready to flash a charming smile, Jack froze. He hadn’t expected Li Wenxuan to bring others with her, and they seemed to be beauties too.

Wait, aren’t there two who look familiar? That busty one, haven’t I seen her somewhere before?

"Xuan’er, what’s going on, why did you bring friends?"

Jack asked in confusion. Although he had seen Liu Mengting and Li Xiaoli before, it had been at night and the lighting in the cave was poor. Furthermore, the two girls were in a sorry state at the time, which was very different from now, so he hadn’t recognized them immediately.

"Jack, you bastard son of a bitch."

Li Wenxuan locked the door of the ward, staring at Jack with gritted teeth and said coldly,

"All Tang Ming did was pretend to be my boyfriend and have dinner with you, and you actually retaliated against him afterward. That’s utterly despicable."

"What do you mean?"

Jack furrowed his brows in confusion. This situation was different from what he had anticipated for their meeting. Wasn’t it supposed to be gentle and caring? Why had it turned into a barrage of accusations?

"Humph, so it’s really you, the big villain. Do you remember us?"

Li Xiaoli glared at Jack and asked bitterly. If it weren’t for her quick thinking back then, she and Liu Mengting’s innocence might have already been ruined in the hands of this scumbag, Jack!
