Chapter 117 The Heart That Wants to Hide

After watching Yan Xinuo walk out of the lounge, Xia Yihuan's eyes naturally fell on Zi Ling. Thinking of the news she just saw on Weibo, she didn't know whether to tell Zi Ling.

Zi Ling, who was sitting on the sofa with squinted eyes, seemed to sense something. Almost immediately, she opened her eyes and looked up at Xia Yihuan. The moment their eyes met, Xia Yihuan

But he chose to avoid it. This made the sensitive Zi Ling feel as if he had caught something.

"Sister-in-law, do you have something to tell me?"

Seeing Xia Yihuan's obvious dodge, Zi Ling simply asked directly. Having known Xia Yihuan for a while, Zi Ling felt that she knew something about this sister-in-law, so the details she just noticed made her certain that something was going on.

happened. So she stood up and took Xia Yihuan's hand.

"Ji Luota..."

Xia Yihuan was not good at lying, so when Zi Ling asked her, she became hesitant. Especially when she was stared at by Zi Ling, she felt even more stressed. However, when she

When she accidentally blurted out these three words, she noticed a change in Zi Ling's face.

Originally she was still curious about what her sister-in-law wanted to say to her, but when she heard that person's name, she began to dodge. Although she didn't want to admit it, she still heard his name in her heart.

She twitched unconsciously. But soon, she came to her senses because she knew very well what relationship she had with that person.

"What's wrong with him?"

Although she knew very well in her heart that she should not think about or care about that man, but seeing Xia Yihuan's hesitant expression, her heart still rose involuntarily. Did...what happened to him?

"Although I don't know what happened to him, there are reports that he was admitted to the hospital and was sent to the hospital urgently. But the report was written with some nonsense and alarmism. As you know, the media is

Love to make up stories.”

Seeing the worried look in Zi Ling's eyes that she tried so hard to hide, Xia Yihuan sighed and finally told the matter. She had been struggling for a while, and now that she had said it, she finally

She was relieved. But she didn't know yet that what she did was exactly the opposite of what Yan Xino thought.

She thought about various reactions Zi Ling would have, but she never expected it to be like this. Zi Ling was very calm, and unusually calm, which gave her an indescribable feeling. I have to say, Xia

Yi Huan was frightened by Zi Ling looking like this.

"oh."

After pausing for a while, she noticed that Xia Yihuan was still staring at her face, so Zi Ling responded a little dullly. Then, she turned around and turned her back to Xia Yihuan to prevent her from looking.

to the expression on his face.

She didn't want this, but for some reason, when she heard that Situ Jiluo was hospitalized, her heart began to sink uncontrollably, but this emotion only occupied half of her total thoughts. The reason why it was only half.

, because her consciousness is still awake and she is still rational. And this is why she can control her emotions.

She deeply understood that the worry in her heart at this time was not allowed by him, or that he did not care about it. So even if her heart kept shouting, making her want to care about that person, she would try her best to restrain it. Because

She knew that she was not qualified.

It has been three days, and she has not seen Situ Jiluo for three days. Although she has not had a mobile phone with her these days, she can guess without thinking that it is impossible for him to take the initiative to find her due to his personality.

Although her brother said that he had talked to him, so many things happened in the past three days, and she still didn't get any news that he was looking for her, so he must really not care about her!

Her heart was so cold that she began to not want to be so humble. So she ordered herself to laugh, even if this kind of laughter was more like laughing at herself and ridiculing her own sentimentality.

She didn't know how she would face him in the future, but one thing she was sure of was that her heart... was different.

"Xiao Xi, you..."

Looking at Zi Ling's sad back, Xia Yihuan immediately felt guilty and regretted telling her about Situ Jiluo. He wanted to step forward to comfort her, but at this moment the door to the lounge suddenly opened, and Yan

Xino also walked in.

"I've already told Brother Wei Jian."

After glancing at Zi Ling, Yan Xinuo turned to Xia Yihuan and said. When he just opened the door and came in, he felt that the atmosphere inside was strange. Needless to think, something must have happened. Of course, he wouldn't

He asked so directly what was going on, so he had to send Zi Ling away first.

"Xiao Xi, can you help me buy a cup of coffee?"

"Uh... ok."

Taking her wallet from her bag, Zi Ling left the lounge without saying a word, leaving space for her brother and sister-in-law. She was not stupid, she had long seen that her brother had something to talk to her sister-in-law alone, so she

Deliberately put her away.

Walking along the corridor to the beverage vending machine at the other end, Zi Ling sighed, and then dug into his wallet for some change. After finally getting enough, he found that the coffee in the vending machine had been sold out.

So, she had no choice but to turn around and prepare to go downstairs. Since her brother wanted to drink coffee, she simply went to the coffee shop downstairs to bring him a cup. Anyway, it was not good to drink too much from the vending machine, so she also gave it to the one in the lounge.

More space for two people.

"Uh...Miss Zi Ling?"

Zi Ling's hand just touched the doorknob of the coffee shop, and before she could push the door in, she was suddenly stopped. When she came down, she paid attention to her surroundings, because there was no one around, and she didn't expect to be recognized.

Come out. That's why she was obviously stunned when someone suddenly called her from behind.

"Brother Wei Jian?"

With a little shock, Zi Ling turned around to face the speaker. When she saw that this person was her brother's agent, Zi Ling couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief. It turned out to be him. Who did she think he was? She was scared to death.

She did.

"Why are you still down so late? Buying coffee?"

"Yeah. My brother said he wanted to drink coffee, so..."

"Go in, I'm just about to buy a drink too."

As he spoke, He Weijian took a step forward, opened the door, and motioned for Zi Ling to go in first. Late at night, although there were not many people in the coffee shop, there were still a few sitting there holding laptops, so Zi Ling

As soon as Ling entered, he lowered his head for fear of being recognized.

"Let's go."

As if aware of Zi Ling's worry, He Weijian put his arm around her shoulders, blocking all sight, and led her to the cashier. Zi Ling nodded gratefully and followed him.

"Brother Wei Jian, why are you here so late?"

After taking out coffee, the two of them were walking along the corridor together when Zi Ling suddenly asked. Seeing that He Weijian seemed to be walking in the same direction as hers, she couldn't help but wonder if he was looking for her brother. But it was just that he was walking in the same direction as hers.

, she suddenly realized when the two of them entered the elevator and saw He Weijian pressing a different button than herself.

"I came to see Ji Luo, he...is also in this hospital."

The elevator door was closed. While He Weijian was talking, he was also observing Zi Ling's expression through the reflection of the door. He had suspected that Situ Jiluo and Zi Ling had something to do with each other earlier, but no matter how he asked, the boy was just like him.

Play dumb.

"Ah? What happened to him?"

Xia Yihuan noticed He Weijian's eyes, so she deliberately acted surprised, as if she didn't know about it. However, her trembling voice and slightly trembling fingers still revealed her true emotions.

.

In the eyes of outsiders, she and Situ Jiluo were partners who had worked together before, so such polite concern should be normal and would not be suspected, right?

"Oh! He has a bad stomach, but he doesn't pay attention to his diet, and he drinks so much wine. He is really desperate!"

Seemingly unable to see any clues, He Weijian could only sigh feebly, and then complained about the arrival of Situ Jiluo. Because she was Yan Xinuo's sister, He Weijian had no taboos and naturally regarded her as one of his own, otherwise he would also

I won't say such things to her.

However, he didn't know that although Zi Ling seemed very calm, her heart was filled with wild waves after hearing these words. Now that she knew the reason why Situ Jiluo was admitted to the hospital, not only did she not become more worried because she got the answer,

Being calm makes it almost impossible to pretend not to care anymore.

Has his stomach always been bad?! Why hasn’t he paid attention to his diet? Why is he still drinking?!

Just when she felt she was about to lose control, the elevator door dinged and opened. Zi Ling didn't know what He Weijian said to her. When she realized it, the other party was no longer there and the elevator door had been closed.

.

When the elevator door closed again, it was already on the top floor. Zi Ling stayed for a moment before dragging heavy steps out. After walking only a few steps, she saw someone standing in the corridor waiting for her.

's brother.

"Xiao Xi, where have you been?"

"I...buy you coffee."

As he spoke, Zi Ling raised the coffee in his hand, and then handed it to Yan Xino. Seeing the situation, Yan Xino took the coffee, touched Zi Ling's head with some distress, and then said

Thank you.

"You have been tired for the whole day. I will send you back later."

"But, brother..."

"Stop being stubborn and obey me."

Although she didn't want to go back and wanted to stay with her father here, she couldn't say much after her brother said that. She knew that her brother doted on her, but as long as he got serious, even she wouldn't discuss it.

I have no choice but to be obedient.

"I'll go down for a while, and then you can leave again."

Originally, he wanted Xia Yihuan to take Zi Ling back to rest now, but after thinking about it, he still couldn't worry about his father. So he planned to let the two of them stay for a while while he went downstairs to see Situ Jiluo.

He Weijian for a while, and then came back quickly.

Looking at her brother's leaving figure, Zi Ling let out a weak breath. Although Yan Xino didn't say anything, she had roughly guessed that he was going downstairs to see Situ Jiluo. In fact, she also wanted to know about him.

How was the situation? She even asked to go with her, but she didn't say it out loud because she knew she couldn't do this anymore.
