"Xiaobai, what's wrong with you?" Father Jiang noticed her emotional fluctuations and asked with concern.

"Dad, I'm sorry..." Jiang Mubai choked up, unable to hold back his tears any longer.

"Silly child, what are you talking about?" Father Jiang patted her hands gently and comforted her, "Dad knows you are a good child. You have done a lot for Dad..."

"But it's not enough..." Jiang Mubai shook his head, his eyes filled with despair and pain, "Dad, what should I do?"

"Xiaobai, listen to what daddy said..." Jiang's father's voice suddenly became serious, "Lu Qing is... not a simple person..."

He wanted to say something, but suddenly he started coughing violently and his face turned pale. Seeing this, Jiang Mubai quickly got up and poured a glass of water, helped his father up, and asked him to drink it slowly.

"Dad, stop talking and have a good rest first." Jiang Mubai looked at him worriedly, afraid that he would say something that would make her worry again.

Father Jiang shook his head, indicating that he was fine, and then looked at Jiang Mubai, his eyes full of worry and reluctance. With trembling hands, he took out an exquisite wooden box from under the pillow and handed it to Jiang Mubai.

"Xiaobai, promise daddy that you will take good care of it..."

Jiang Mubai took the wooden box. It was cold and smooth to the touch. She didn't know what material it was made of. The box had no lock. She hesitated for a moment and opened it.

In the box lay a jade ring, emerald green, with excellent water content, and it was obviously worth a lot of money. Two words were engraved on the inside of the ring - "peace".

"Dad, what is this?" Jiang Mubai asked in confusion. Is this what Lu Qing wants?

Jiang's father avoided answering and just waved his hand weakly, signaling her to keep it.

Jiang Mubai wanted to ask more, but she saw that her father had closed his eyes and was breathing steadily, as if he had fallen asleep. She had no choice but to suppress her doubts in her heart and carefully put the wooden box away.

At this time, the door of the ward was pushed open again, and Lu Qing came back. He walked gracefully to the bed with a thermos in his hand and placed the thermos on the bedside table.

"Is uncle asleep?" he asked softly, but his eyes fell on Jiang Mubai with a hint of inquiry.

Jiang Mubai felt uneasy when he looked at him. He subconsciously hid the wooden box in his hand behind his back and said coldly, "What are you doing here?"

As if Lu Qing didn't notice her hostility, he opened the thermos bucket, filled a bowl of porridge, and handed it to her. His tone was incredibly gentle: "I asked the kitchen to make some porridge. You can drink it while it's hot."

Jiang Mubai couldn't believe her ears. Was this still the man who had pinched her neck and had a fierce look in his eyes? What on earth was he playing?

"No need to pretend to be kind!" Jiang Mubai slapped his hand away, and some of the hot porridge spilled out and splashed onto her hand, scalding her skin red.

Lu Qing seemed to feel nothing, just staring at her scalded hand, his eyes darkened, and his tone was more commanding: "Don't make trouble, be obedient, and drink the porridge."

"Lu Qing, don't think I'll be grateful to you for this!" Jiang Mubai was furious. What did this man think of her as? A pet? Someone who could come and go at his whim?

"I said, I have no ill intentions." Lu Qing's patience seemed to have reached its limit. He grabbed Jiang Mubai's wrist, ignoring her struggle, and forcibly pulled her to his side, gritting his teeth and saying, "What do you want me to do to believe you?"

Jiang Mubai gasped in pain as he pinched her wrist. She struggled hard but couldn't break free from his grip.

"Lu Qing, you hurt me..."

Jiang Mubai's tears welled up in her eyes. She didn't understand why this man was so gentle like a different person one second and became so rude the next.

Lu Qing looked at her red wrist, a trace of annoyance flashed in his eyes. He let go of her hand and took a step back, with a barely perceptible panic in his tone: "I'm sorry, I didn't mean it..."

"What do you want to do? Why do you treat me like this?" Jiang Mubai rubbed his aching wrist, and the tears in his eyes finally couldn't help falling.

Lu Qing felt a pain in his heart when he saw her crying. He reached out his hand and wanted to wipe her tears, but Jiang Mubai turned his head away.

"Don't touch me!" Jiang Mubai's voice was filled with tears, but he still stared at him stubbornly, "What do you want from me? Tell me!"

Lu Qing's hands froze in mid-air. He looked at the woman in front of him who was obviously trembling with fear but still pretending to be strong, and his heart was filled with mixed feelings. He wanted to explain, wanted to tell her that he had no ill intentions, but he knew that it was useless to say anything now.

He withdrew his hand, turned and walked to the window, looking at the dark night outside in silence.

"Go away, I don't want to see you again." Jiang Mubai's voice was very soft, but it was like a sharp blade, piercing Lu Qing's heart.

He turned around and looked at Jiang Mubai, who had her back to him, with eyes full of pain and struggle. He knew that he had really hurt her this time, and the hurt was deep.

"Xiaobai..." He wanted to say something, but in the end he could only utter these two words weakly.

Jiang Mubai didn't look back. She closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and tried hard to suppress the emotions in her heart.

"Mr. Lu, please leave." She spoke again, her tone cold, as if she was talking to a stranger.

Lu Qing looked at her resolute back, knowing that it was useless for him to say anything more. He looked at her deeply, turned around and walked out of the ward.

The door of the ward closed gently. Jiang Mubai could no longer hold back her tears. She slid weakly to the ground, buried her face in her knees, and cried silently.

She didn't know why she had such complicated emotions towards Lu Qing. She knew clearly that he approached her for the jade ring, but when he treated her gently, she actually felt a little moved and even a little expectant.

But all this is fake, it's just a show he put on.

Jiang Mubai, oh Jiang Mubai, how could you be so stupid to fall in love with someone who deceived you?

……

The next morning, Jiang Mubai was awakened by a knock on the door. She rubbed her sleepy eyes, got up and opened the door, only to see an unexpected person standing at the door.

"Shen... Mr. Shen?" Jiang Mubai looked at the man in front of him in surprise. Why was he here?

Shen Fang had his usual gentle smile on his face, and was holding a thermos bucket in his hand. When he saw Jiang Mubai, he smiled and said, "Would you like to invite me in to sit down?"

Jiang Mubai finally reacted and quickly moved aside to let him in.

"Why are you here?" Jiang Mubai closed the door and asked curiously.

Shen Fang placed the thermos bucket on the bedside table and said with a smile, "I heard that my uncle was in the hospital, so I came to see him."
