After Divorcing My Omega Ex-Wife - Chapter 15

Xie Qingyun walked out of the room, went to the second bedroom, looked left and right to confirm, then finally closed the door.

She took out her phone and opened the monitoring app.

By now, she could already check the surveillance footage without blushing or her heart racing. The previous timidity of being afraid of getting caught was long gone.

In the surveillance footage, she only saw Shi Yun walk into the walk-in closet and casually pick out a set of clothes.

Then she disappeared from the camera.

Xie Qingyun switched through several views, but none of them showed Shi Yun.

She roughly guessed that Shi Yun had taken the clothes back to the bathroom to change.

She put away her phone and walked to the living room.

Qian Can was sitting on the sofa, playing with her phone.

Qian Can said, “You’re here?”

Xie Qingyun nodded.

“Done changing?”

Xie Qingyun sounded somewhat helpless. “She woke up.”

“Oh.” Qian Can sensed the regret in her tone and patted Xie Qingyun’s shoulder. “Look on the bright side. At least you didn’t make her hate you even more.”

Xie Qingyun shook her head. “I don’t think she hates me that much. She even acted spoiled with me just now.”

She excitedly grabbed Qian Can’s arm. “Tell me, she only contacted me tonight. Doesn’t that mean I’m special?” The more Xie Qingyun spoke, the more excited she became. “I think she’s just pretending to refuse while secretly wanting it. She was only embarrassed to let me help her change clothes. That’s it! It must be!”

Qian Can’s eyes shifted. She felt that the Shi Yun in Xie Qingyun’s mouth and the Shi Yun in her own eyes did not seem to be quite the same person.

She felt Shi Yun hated the two of them to death, all right?!

If killing people were not illegal, Shi Yun would definitely stab both of them to death together.

Qian Can could not bear to interrupt Xie Qingyun’s fantasy. She pushed away the hand Xie Qingyun had used to grab her. “Hehehe. As long as you’re happy.”

Very soon, Shi Yun finished changing and came downstairs. This time, she had changed into a light pink shirt, its collar slightly open.

Together with her flushed cheeks, she looked like a bright, juicy peach.

It made one want to take a bite.

She forced out a smile, wanting Xie Qingyun to feel her attempt to please her. “Let’s go.”

The two people, each harboring their own thoughts, got into the same car.

Xie Qingyun had originally wanted to sit in the back row with Shi Yun.

But Shi Yun spoke first. “I can smell your pheromones. If we’re too close, I’m afraid the suppressant I just took will lose effect.”

Xie Qingyun already had one leg halfway into the back seat, but she silently withdrew it.

Although she did not sit together with Shi Yun, she had heard Shi Yun’s words, and her heart felt as if a jar of honey had been overturned—full of sweetness.

The more Qian Can listened, the more she felt something was wrong.

Why did this Shi Yun seem like she had become a completely different person?

Shi Yun closed her eyes and pretended to doze in the back seat.

Several times, Xie Qingyun wanted to find a chance to say something, but every time she turned around, she saw Shi Yun sleeping, so she was too embarrassed to speak.

The ride was silent.

Along the way, Qian Can glanced back through the rearview mirror several times while waiting at traffic lights.

She roughly guessed that Shi Yun was pretending to sleep because she did not want to deal with Xie Qingyun.

Looking at Xie Qingyun beside her, immersed in happiness, Qian Can did not know how to remind her.

After getting out of the car, Qian Can sent Xie Qingyun back to the inpatient department. At first, Xie Qingyun refused to leave. After Qian Can promised several times that she would definitely take good care of Shi Yun, Xie Qingyun finally left reluctantly.

Shi Yun walked in front, and Qian Can followed behind her.

There were not many people in the hospital at night. As they passed through the corridor of the inpatient department, Qian Can said, “Actually, you don’t want to deal with Xie Qingyun at all, do you?”

Shi Yun stopped and turned around, curving her lips into a smile. “Why would Sister Can ask that?”

Qian Can said calmly, “Don’t you dislike her a lot? Then what was with that act tonight?”

She had seen all sorts of people, and she had also seen many actors, both good and bad.

She had to admit that Shi Yun acted well.

But the character she played before and after was too different. Clearly, one moment she had still been pointing at Xie Qingyun and telling her to get lost. How had she suddenly changed after getting the suppressant injection?

Qian Can had taken care of Xie Qingyun for many years. Although she knew Xie Qingyun had wronged Shi Yun, and had silently allowed many of Xie Qingyun’s actions that hurt Shi Yun, she still had to stand behind her Xie Qingyun and protect her.

Shi Yun was still smiling. “She’s going to invest in Yinian. What benefit would it bring me to show my investor a bad face?”

Qian Can had roughly guessed the reason, but hearing this answer from Shi Yun herself still made her feel sad for Xie Qingyun.

“You know she’s investing because she likes you.”

“So what’s wrong with her giving something up for me?” Shi Yun put away her smile.

“Did I force her to do this? She likes me, and she wants to do these things for me.”

Qian Can grew somewhat anxious and suddenly raised her voice. “But, but you can’t take advantage of her feelings!”

Shi Yun’s emotions also surged. “Hasn’t she taken advantage of me before?”

Qian Can took two steps back, her expression changing. “You know everything?”

“You should all be glad I haven’t recovered my memories. Otherwise, I would definitely take back double from Xie Qingyun.” Shi Yun clenched her fists. There were some things she did not want to remember, yet someone insisted on making her know.

Her good younger sister had been sending her messages these past few days.

The places Xie Qingyun and Shi Yu had gone together. The things they had experienced together.

Shi Yun did not understand. She had clearly thrown the divorce certificate right in front of Shi Yu, so why did Shi Yu still keep provoking her again and again?

“But Xie Qingyun is truly treating you very well now.”

“So what?”

“Was I not good to her before?”

Qian Can fell silent. Shi Yun had truly been very good to Xie Qingyun before, almost to the point of holding her in the palm of her hand. Because of a single word from Xie Qingyun, she would often run to the other side of the city and line up to buy food.

When Xie Qingyun did not want to see her, Shi Yun would ask the staff to deliver it instead.

She never mentioned that she was the one who bought it.

In truth, Xie Qingyun could guess that Shi Yun was the one who had sent it, but she had still hurt Shi Yun so recklessly.

Only because Shi Yu often said that Shi Yun used to order her around like that too, making her go buy things.

Xie Qingyun had felt wronged on Shi Yu’s behalf, and Qian Can had also tried to persuade her.

Leave some room when dealing with others, so you can meet again in the future.

Moreover, Xie Qingyun and Shi Yun had formed a new family.

The two of them were the ones who belonged together.

But what had Xie Qingyun said back then? Sooner or later, she would divorce Shi Yun.

At that time, she and Shi Yu would be a family.

And Shi Yun, from beginning to end, was the outsider.

“She…”

Qian Can opened her mouth several times, wanting to defend Xie Qingyun, but no matter what, she could not speak.

“She truly wants to repent now. Everything she’s doing now is sincere. Can’t you forgive her?”

“Sincere? Sincerely wanting me to mark her, wanting to bind me to her? Has she considered whether I still like her now? Whether I’m willing to be with her? Just because she likes me, I have to be with her? Back when I liked her, why didn’t she stay with me?”

When Shi Yun said this, she was very calm, as if discussing the feelings of strangers.

Feelings could not be forced. She had known that since childhood.

She could not stop her father and mother from separating, so naturally, she also could not make Xie Qingyun fall in love with her.

So from the very beginning, she had never imagined that one day Xie Qingyun would return her feelings. She had only hoped her efforts could be seen by Xie Qingyun.

Even if the two of them had no love, they could still walk forward together.

That alone would have satisfied her.

Qian Can was rendered speechless. She even felt some regret that she had not tried harder to persuade Xie Qingyun back then, at least not to humiliate Shi Yun like that.

Shi Yun sharply interrupted, “Enough. I don’t want to talk about this anymore.”

“Sister Can, I’m grateful that you came with me to see the doctor, but I can’t answer this question for you today. I can do it myself. You don’t need to accompany me.” After saying this, Shi Yun walked forward alone, leaving Qian Can behind.

Qian Can took a moment to react, then quickly followed. If she did not stay with Shi Yun the whole time, Xie Qingyun would definitely ask endless questions later.

Her own emotions were already chaotic. If there was even one question she could not answer, she was afraid she would spill the entire conversation from just now.

No matter how good a friend was, they really had no way to point fingers at another person’s feelings. Only when someone personally crashed into the south wall would they know whether it hurt, and whether it was worth it.

Shi Yun had said many things just now, consuming quite a bit of strength. At this moment, her steps were unsteady, and she could only slowly walk forward.

Because of the fever, waves of heat rose through her body. It was not quite the same as the sensitive period.

One moment she was hot, the next she was cold. Chills ran over her body in waves.

Her head was also dizzy.

Some of what she had said just now had come from her true feelings, while some had only been said because her mind was unclear.

She had not originally felt that wronged.

Feelings were given willingly, and she did not regret it.

Shi Yun staggered and nearly fell. Qian Can jogged two steps to her side. “With you like this, how can I feel at ease?”

“I thought we could count as friends too.”

Shi Yun’s face was red, but her lips were pale. She really had no strength left. The words she had just said had almost used up what little energy she had, and she could no longer force herself to hold on. She opened her mouth and thanked her.

Shi Yun sat at the emergency room entrance while Qian Can went to register her.

She fiddled with her phone and accidentally tapped into her album. The latest photo was the giant screen of Xie Qingyun from that day.

Her finger hovered over the delete button for a long time, but in the end, she still could not bear to do it.

Although her words were firm, and what she did was sweet-mouthed and cruel-hearted enough, deep in her heart, she had still once held faint expectations.

She had expected Xie Qingyun to be willing to truly understand the desires buried deep inside her heart.

When her number was called, she quickly locked her screen and entered the consultation room with Qian Can.

The doctor ordered tests for her.

She only needed to be hospitalized for observation for one night.

Qian Can sent Shi Yun to the door of the observation room. “I’ll go back first and check on Xie Qingyun. Xiao Cui is there today, but I need to go back and tell her about your condition.”

Shi Yun nodded. “Sister Can, make sure you rest.”

Qian Can asked with concern, “Can you stay here by yourself? Do you want me to accompany you?”

She was sincere. She felt guilty toward Shi Yun. Back then, Xie Qingyun had met Shi Yu because of her.

She wanted to make up for it as much as she could.

Shi Yun patted the back of Qian Can’s hand. “No need. I can handle it myself. It’s not like I’ve never been hospitalized alone before.”

Qian Can stiffened. She did not know how much Shi Yun had remembered about what had happened between her and Xie Qingyun before, but hearing these words always made her heart skip a beat.

She let out a long sigh. “Xie Qingyun wronged you.”

“She wronged me. You don’t need to apologize for her.”

“Then I’ll head over first.”

“Go.”

Shi Yun returned to her own hospital bed. Strangely enough, after the examination and blood draw, she actually felt much better. She no longer had the dizziness and various symptoms from earlier.

The nurse came over to put her on an IV. She extended the back of her hand.

Her blood vessels were thin and not easy to find, so they could only use a purple needle.

She was long used to these things.

She did not particularly like complaining either.

She had originally wanted to contact Chen Su, but after glancing at the time, she realized that without noticing, they had already fussed around until ten at night.

Thinking that Chen Su needed to rest too, and that this was only one night, what was there that she could not endure?

The medicine slowly entered her body, as if filling her with strength. Her entire body seemed to come back to life.

In the quiet of the night, people’s thoughts were even more likely to drift endlessly.

Xie Qingyun had not come over. Shi Yun did not know whether Qian Can had stopped her or whether Xie Qingyun herself was unwilling to come.

Shi Yun gave a cold snort.

It was not as if she had been expecting it that much anyway.

The time spent on an IV was extremely boring. She wanted to find a drama to pass the time, but somehow, she clicked on Xie Qingyun’s previous drama. It was a historical series, and Xie Qingyun played a female martial artist.

The fight scenes in it were especially wonderful.

The opening had only just played when Shi Yun raised her head and saw that one bottle of medicine was already almost empty. She sat up and stretched out her hand to reach for the call bell.

She was a little too far away and could not quite reach it.

After trying several times, all of which ended in failure, she was thinking about what to do.

Suddenly, a pair of hands passed through the curtain and pressed the call bell.

Those hands had distinct joints and slender, elegant fingers.

Following them with her eyes, Shi Yun saw bruising on the back of the hand from a recent injection.

Xie Qingyun asked, “If it was that difficult, why didn’t you call me over? Are you really so used to forcing yourself to endure everything alone?”
