Chapter 84: Men Really Do Know What They're Doing

Qin Wenhuo nodded. “Alright.”

After giving her instructions, Mother Qin left with Lan Qingman.

Qin Wenshu felt it wasn’t appropriate to stay any longer either. “Wenhuo-ge, sister-in-law, I’ll head off first. About that bicycle—”

Fu Mingxue cut him off. “You can take the bicycle for now! I don’t need it at the moment.”

Qin Wenshu thought about it—leaving the bike at the hospital wasn’t ideal—so he nodded. “That works.”

Once they’d all left, only Qin Wenhuo and Fu Mingxue remained in the ward.

Fu Mingxue walked over to the two hospital beds and looked at the children lying there. They were just over a year old, both very thin and frail.

She couldn’t help but think of Song Yan’s three children from her previous life.

Back then, they’d been just as small, constantly falling ill. And since they were triplets, if one got sick, the other two usually did as well.

She’d looked after those three children all by herself—it had truly drained her, body and soul.

On top of that, she’d had to care for Song’s mother, who was paralyzed and loved to hurl insults.

She’d poured her heart and soul into it, yet all she got in return were three ungrateful brats—

“What’s wrong?” Qin Wenhuo’s voice pulled Fu Mingxue out of her memories of her past life.

“Besides the fever, do they have any other symptoms? How long has this been going on?”

Qin Wenhuo looked at her. “They had diarrhea and a fever last night—probably caught a chill and got frightened. They were a bit better after taking medicine this morning. The diarrhea’s stopped, but their temperature is still at thirty-nine degrees.”

“But after taking the medicine, it’s come down a bit.”

Fu Mingxue felt the children’s foreheads. They were still a bit warm.

Looking at these two frail kids, her heart, which was usually a bit cold and hard, softened a little.

After all, these two were truly pitiful—so young, their father had died, and their mother had remarried.

Forget it. She’d take good care of them for now.

“I forgot to tell you something just now. I had a run-in with Qin Wenshu’s fiancée, Zhao Sisi, on the street. We got into an argument, and I slapped her a few times. That won’t cause you any trouble, will it?”

Fu Mingxue looked at him.

If he so much as hinted that it would—she’d walk away right then and there.

She absolutely couldn’t stand men who always took someone else’s side, no matter what.

Qin Wenhuo: ?...

“You got into a fight with Zhao Sisi?”

Fu Mingxue nodded. “Yes. To be precise, I slapped her a few times, and then pulled a bit of her hair.”

Qin Wenhuo looked at her. “If you hit her, she must’ve deserved it. And even if you did, it doesn’t affect me. Besides, Zhao Sisi isn’t Qin Wenshu’s fiancée, nor is she his girlfriend.”

Fu Mingxue raised her eyebrows, very satisfied with his answer.

“I thought she was your cousin’s fiancée. I ran into Qin Wenshu, and he told me about the kids being sick, so I lent him my bike. Then Zhao Sisi came over and started yelling at me, calling me shameless—”

She briefly recounted what had happened.

Qin Wenhuo’s expression was already cold when he wasn’t smiling. Now, his whole face seemed to radiate a chill.

“I’ll talk to the Zhao family and tell them to keep their daughter in check.”

His words surprised Fu Mingxue—was he actually going to stand up for her?

“Won’t this affect the relationship between your two families?”

“If they cared about that, they wouldn’t let their daughter run wild. Besides, you’re my wife. What could be more important than you?”

“In Jing City, you don’t need to worry about anything else. Just do whatever you want. No need to hold back.”
