Lu Qi stared at her for a while and did not immediately reply with an answer. It wasn't until Lu Yuan became nervous from his staring that he finally said,

"You already know this person."

"I already know?"

A woman's intuition is sometimes very sensitive. Lu Yuan narrowed her eyes, weirdly feeling a bit uneasy. She quickly tried to recall every female about the same age as Lu Qi that she knew and realized that none of them were quite possible. In the end, she lightly pushed him,

"Ack, don't play riddles with me. Tell me quickly. I can't guess who."

Lu Qi did not speak and only looked at her with his dark eyes before lifting his hand to point at the neighbouring room.

Lu Yuan: "......The room beside us???"

She looked deep in thought as her brain zoomed with that information, going down deeper and deeper, until her entire world was tilting on the edge of destruction. But she still held on to a sliver of hope and forcefully plastered on a smile, asking,

"......The nurse next door?"

Lu Qi shook his head,

"The patient."

Patient? Then wasn't that......

Lu Yuan lost her voice screaming out,

"Huo Ming Chen–?!!!!"

"Shh–"

Lu Qi lightly lowered his eyes and placed his finger on his lips, signalling for her to quiet down. But in the next second, Lu Yuan flew straight towards him like a rocket, dragging him up by his shirt collar,

"Motherfucking shh! Did your brain get stuck in the door and a donkey kicked it?! What kind of next level joke are you making at this time? It's not even a little bit funny!!"

Lu Qi used a little force to push her hands off of him,

"I never joke about these kinds of issues, and also, my mom is your mom."

Lu Yuan of course knew that he would not joke about these kinds of things, but she was going out of her mind because she did know. She grasped onto the wall, as if this chain of events gave her too many punches that she felt a bit dizzy. Lu Qi wanted to go help her up but instead was pointed at and got scolded,

"Lie there and don't even think about coming over."

Lu Yuan pointed at him, poking at the air with force a few times,

"Lu Qi, you are dead for certain. You came here to not study like a good boy, and instead started to play this homosexual game with someone. I asked before why you and that wealthy prince Huo Ming Chen had such a good relationship, and it was because...... because......"

She thought for a while but did not know what kind of words could describe this, and so she could only inhale a deep breath before laughing coldly,

"I don't care about your stupidity! You don't care about anything except for money, relying on that face of yours having some attractiveness to ruin other people's lives. I'm going to call mom right now and let her take care of you!"

A family knows each other well. Lu Yuan would not believe, did not believe that Lu Qi could like someone out of the pureness of his heart. It was most likely yet another poor soul that had been played, running around chasing their own tail in Lu Qi's web of deceit and lies.

Lu Yuan stumbled out of the hospital room in her high heels. The first step she took she felt like she was wobbling and in danger of falling. She could only lean against the wall by herself and take deep breaths, trying her best to control her feelings. She would never have been able to expect that at this time, the door next door would suddenly open and Huo Ming Cheng would walk out of there and the two would meet up in this coincidence.
