After Being Reborn, Her Only Mission Is to Love Him-Chapter 393 - 391: Does He Have No Shame?

Xiao Mo hadn’t expected much from eavesdropping, but he discovered that Xiao Jinglan and another were discussing how to shift the blame onto others if no one could be found.

He wondered why, ever since his hospitalization, there had been one problem after another.

Initially, he had only been slightly suspicious, but now, hearing Xiao Jinglan’s words, he couldn’t help but suspect that his previous beating had been orchestrated by Xiao Jinglan and Xiao Mo!

These two were clearly worried about him staying with the Song Family and contesting for the inheritance, which is why they had resorted to such violent measures against him!

Ha!

These two really were vicious in their scheming!

His eyes narrowed. Did they think he would just sit back and wait for death?

Dream on!

He would recoup all the injuries he had suffered recently. He definitely wouldn’t let these two get away with it!

With this in mind, Feng Jiyue walked slowly towards the hospital room door, leaning on his cane.

Xiao Jinglan, Xiao Mo, let’s wait and see!

Let’s see who the ultimate victor will be!

The deep winter weather grew colder, with a layer of frost still forming on the windows.

When Xiao Mo arrived at Lu Zhaozhao’s hospital room, he just happened to see her sitting by the bed, using a pen to draw frost patterns in a notebook.

Her brows and eyes were serene, and her eyelashes flickered in the sunlight like the wings of a butterfly, shimmering with a soft light as they gently trembled.

Her utterly focused appearance was captivating in every way.

Indeed, no matter the method, he wanted to make such a beautiful woman his own.

Lost in thought, Xiao Mo was brought back to reality when Lu Zhaozhao turned her head towards him.

She had just heard some noise at the door and had thought it was Song Sinian coming, but to her surprise, it was Xiao Mo.

Her brows creased noticeably, and her pretty face took on an unhappy shade, but it was fleeting.

Of course, Xiao Mo didn’t miss the flicker of disappointment in her eyes.

Had Lu Zhaozhao been hoping for Song Sinian’s visit?

The thought that such a wonderful woman was now with Song Sinian made his chest feel tight.

After all, he was the Song Family’s eldest son; everything in the Song Family should belong to him.

That included Lu Zhaozhao!

Xiao Mo clenched his fists restlessly but maintained a genteel façade as he spoke to Lu Zhaozhao, "Zhaozhao, I heard you were ill, so I came to visit you. I wanted to come earlier, but I was held up by work."

As he spoke, he pulled out a jewelry box from his coat and placed it on Lu Zhaozhao’s blanket.

The red velvet box looked quite upscale.

From the shape of the box, she could easily guess that it contained a necklace or some other piece of jewelry.

Her brow tightened slightly as she looked up at Xiao Mo and asked indifferently, "What’s this?"

"It’s a get-well gift," Xiao Mo said as he opened the jewelry box, "I happened to see this necklace on my way here; it suits you well."

"..."

Lu Zhaozhao was instantly speechless.

By convention, shouldn’t a hospital visit warrant flowers or fruit?

But he had gone out of his way to buy a necklace as a gift.

Anyone uninformed might mistake Xiao Mo for her husband.

She looked coldly at the jewelry box on the blanket and rejected it on the spot, "Your visit is appreciated, but I cannot accept this gift."

Xiao Mo watched Lu Zhaozhao with a light chuckle, "This item isn’t valuable, you don’t need to feel any psychological burden."

Lu Zhaozhao pursed her lips and looked at Xiao Mo with total speechlessness.

Not to mention it not being valuable, even if it were, she wouldn’t accept it!

How could she possibly accept something like a necklace that carries special meaning?

Especially since Xiao Mo, this trash, had impure intentions towards her.

She had even less reason to accept it.

"It doesn’t matter whether the item is valuable or not, what matters is that I can’t accept it," Lu Zhaozhao said, not bothering to beat around the bush with him, making her stance clear.

Xiao Mo was noticeably taken aback, not expecting Lu Zhaozhao to reject him to his face.

A bit embarrassed, he tugged at the corner of his mouth, "I just thought it would be inappropriate to visit you empty-handed, this piece of jewelry is just a get-well gift, you don’t have to mind."

Lu Zhaozhao cast a glance at Xiao Mo, "You should know that I don’t get along with Xia Wenjin, right?"

"..."

Xiao Mo didn’t speak, essentially giving his tacit agreement.

Seeing this, Lu Zhaozhao continued, "Right now, it’s like we’re two separate waters that don’t interfere with each other. You’re her husband, and if she finds out you bought jewelry for me, I couldn’t explain it away even with a hundred excuses."

"This..."

Xiao Mo hadn’t expected that Lu Zhaozhao’s reason for refusing him would be because of Xia Wenjin, not because of him personally.

He even felt a faint sense of relief.

Does this mean she actually still has a good impression of him?

Thinking this way, Xiao Mo felt a surge of pleasure, "You don’t have to worry about Xia Wenjin, she won’t say anything."

As he said this, his gaze swept over the hospital room, adding an ambiguous remark, "Hasn’t Sinian come to accompany you? If I were him, I definitely couldn’t bear to let you stay alone in the hospital, especially when you’re already sick, to be alone, it’s so uncomfortable..."

The insinuation in his voice almost made Lu Zhaozhao laugh in anger.

Shameless, isn’t he?

And he dares to imply shortcomings in her man, right in front of her?

Lu Zhaozhao didn’t even grant Xiao Mo another look, speaking coldly, "My husband is very busy, but he always comes to the hospital to accompany me as soon as he gets off work, and I haven’t felt uncomfortable at all."

These past few days, her hospital room has hardly been without visitors, forget being lonely, she now kind of misses solitude.

But ever since she was acknowledged by the Xia Family again, her parents and several brothers simply didn’t give her the chance to feel lonely.

She had even worried that Sinian, out of "competition for affection," might start a fight with the Xia Family members, so she asked them to limit their visits to no more than two people at a time.

Ever since Sinian had opened up to her, he had become clingier, often showing her his emotional side.

Lu Zhaozhao found that Sinian was no longer the aloof Boss but occasionally acted like a clingy dog.

It always made her helplessly sympathetic and wanting to love him a little more.

Even when Sinian deliberately acted spoiled, she was willingly pretending to be fooled.

She felt very comfortable with this way of interacting.

Xiao Mo looked at Lu Zhaozhao, who was hospitalised alone and so sensible, and couldn’t help but feel pity.

Sinian, so clueless about romance, yet he had such a sweet and obedient wife, while all he could marry was trash like Xia Wenjin.

In comparison, Xiao Mo only felt more irritated.

He forced a smile at Lu Zhaozhao and continued, "Sinian indeed is quite busy with work, he might not be able to attend to you, but if you need anything, just call me anytime, I’ll always be here."

"I really didn’t know that, as a department manager, your work is quite leisurely." Suddenly, an icy voice came from the doorway, startling Xiao Mo with a jolt.

He turned incredulously toward the hospital room entrance, his eyes meeting Sinian’s cold gaze.

His heart suddenly "thumped" with trepidation.
