You are all bad women! Don't come over!-Chapter 323 - 313
Putting aside all distractions, Xia Qingrou steadied her mind.
She told herself that coming first didn't guarantee winning, even if the Yin sisters were the first to come, it had been Shen Mochen's first time with her!
In front of Yin Caiyu's hospital bed, Xia Qingrou solemnly swore, "Sister, don't worry, I'll treat him well forever, on behalf of both of us!"
Naturally, Yin Caiyu did not respond, but Xia Qingrou thought, "If there's a spirit in heaven, she must be smiling from the underworld..." The heck, this feels messy—is it supposed to be in heaven or underground?
Xia Qingrou internally mocked herself, then picked up the storybook by the pillow.
The sourc𝗲 of this content is freēwēbηovel.c૦m.
It must have been the one Shen Mochen brought last time since there was still a bookmark in it.
Following the page marked by the bookmark, Xia Qingrou continued to softly read stories to Yin Caiyu. Her reading was slightly stumbling, but her serious demeanor resembled those times when a teacher called on her to read passages aloud in school. She endeavored to bring out the emotions of each passage with proper pauses and intonations.
Unknowingly, the sun had set, casting a soft sunset glow into the hospital room, leaving Xia Qingrou with a dry mouth.
She put down the book, stood up to go to the restroom, and then decided to buy another bottle of water.
Upon returning, Xia Qingrou suddenly noticed the nurse looking at her with a strange expression.
Her first thought was whether she had accidentally exposed herself. She immediately checked her buttocks then realized she was wearing pants, so exposure wasn't an issue. She checked over her clothing again but found nothing out of place.
She looked at the nurse, whose gaze remained weird.
Xia Qingrou pursed her lips and, pretending to check messages on her phone, she opened the camera to inspect her appearance. Still, she saw nothing wrong.
Annoyed, Xia Qingrou put away her phone and shot a displeased look at the nurses, finding them inexplicably peculiar. However, given her social anxiety, she didn't want to make a scene and instead approached them quietly, asking, "Excuse me, is there something on me?"
The nurses exchanged glances and one plump nurse coughed slightly, "Oh... someone has arrived."
"Who arrived?" Xia Qingrou was slow to react.
"It's that foreign girl who came with Brother Shen before... the one with blond... or was it silver hair?"
"It's silver hair, right?" another nurse commented.
"It's blond, just a lighter shade..."
"I think it looks more like silver..."
The nurses quickly indulged in a minor debate over Catherine's hair color, but their gazes still lingered on Xia Qingrou.
Anyone could tell that the foreign girl had an undeniable association with Shen Mochen, who was almost akin to a celestial being.
Their reason for visiting Yin Caiyu was obviously also connected to Shen Mochen... Although they harbored a bit of jealousy towards these goddess-like girls, at that moment. They felt a major confrontation might ensue.
Following the principle that a bigger crowd provided better entertainment, they secretly hoped the two girls would break into a fight and had prepared themselves to watch and record.
"Is... her name Catherine Petrovna Alexandrova?" Xia Qingrou's expression froze as she stuttered the question.
Catherine's full name was something Xia Qingrou had secretly asked Liu Chaoyan about. As Shen Mochen's ex and a potential rival in love, Qingrou had instantly memorized this complex name.
A few nurses stopped their argument, looking at each other, and finally, the plump nurse spoke, "Um... we really don't know. But, her family must be quite powerful. Not only does she have a special ward pass, but the flowers in General Yin's room are also sent by her continuously..."
Xia Qingrou bit her lip, now sure that the visitor was indeed Catherine.
She suddenly felt dazed, and her legs grew weak.
One of the younger nurses timidly spoke up, "Please, don't make too much noise in the wards, our patients here are all special, and we shouldn't take things too far..."
They knew Qingrou was a Superpower User, capable of sorting things out by pulling hair and cursing each other's mothers, and it was best not to use superpowers or else even they feared the hospital might be torn apart by rampaging superpower users.
"Mm..."
Xia Qingrou didn't listen to what the nurse said afterward, just responding absentmindedly and turning to walk clumsily toward Yin Caiyu's room.
She was very nervous, even thinking of running away.
Firstly, she had social anxiety, facing her boyfriend's ex alone was just too challenging for her. Secondly, she revered Catherine's family background. She had heard from Liu Chaoyan just how powerful Catherine's family was, hosting a birthday party that even the top tier elites sent representatives to attend. Thirdly, she felt guilty towards Catherine, remembering clearly that during their last meeting, she had emphasized that her relationship with Shen Mochen was just for show and had encouraged them to ignore societal prejudices and bravely be together.
And now, what should she say?
"Oops, sorry, I think your boyfriend is pretty good, using him feels comfortable too, I won't let him go to you, haha!"
Did she still have any shame?
So much mighty talk last time, this time her face would hurt that much.
Moreover, she was certain Catherine held feelings for Shen Mochen, otherwise, why would she visit Yin Caiyu? They weren't even close!
Xia Qingrou felt like fleeing. She had read to Yin Caiyu for a few hours today, maybe she should just go back and return another day.
But, just as she thought this, she felt somewhat unwilling.
Why should she be the one to run away? She was, after all, Shen Mochen's official girlfriend!
How could she be so cowardly? Hadn't she grown at all these years? If she fled today, would she have to keep avoiding her in the future? If she avoided Shen Mochen's ex today, how would she face Shen Mochen's mother tomorrow?
After struggling internally for a long time, Xia Qingrou took a deep breath and decided to face Catherine.
Inside the ward, Catherine stood by the window, silently gazing at the sunset outside.
Actually, Catherine's visit to see Yin Caiyu wasn't solely because of Shen Mochen; she found an unexpected peace here, quiet as if time had somewhat stopped.
Here, she could feel a long-missed serenity.
"Your lover has disappointed me; this is the last time I'm coming to see you," Catherine said quietly to Yin Caiyu as she walked back to the bedside.
"He's happy now; his team is full of beauties. You might not believe it, but they are indeed all very pretty. It's a pity you can't see his carefree expression now," Catherine added.
"Oh, by the way, he has a girlfriend now; you probably didn't know. Your man was stolen," Catherine whispered.
