It's actually not his fault

  The sound of knocking on the door outside woke Anlan from her sleep, and she pushed the quilt away as usual and was about to get out of bed.

  This time, however, her hand didn't push against the quilt, but instead pushed against something with a scorching heat and iron-like hardness. She was so startled that she sat up abruptly, only to find her waist tightly wrapped by someone at this moment.

  "Easy does it, this is," a hoarse voice with a sleepy tone sounded beside her: "it's about your future sex life."

  Gu Anlan's face suddenly flushed, her previous actions were indeed a bit big, she completely forgot that she was married, and even more so, she had forgotten that there was a man who insisted on sleeping with her last night.

  An Lan's face flushed and her heart racing, but she quickly calmed down. She pushed his hand away, preparing to get out of bed, but he was one step ahead of her. He got up first, pulled her back down onto the bed, and helped her pull the covers over herself: "Just lie there like that, I'll go open the door."

  Yi Shuihan finished speaking, quickly went to the closet to get his clothes, didn't even go to the bathroom and changed into his daily clothes at the bedside in just a few minutes. In less than three minutes, he was dressed neatly and opened the hospital room door.

  Outside the door stood a group of doctors and nurses who had come for their morning rounds, as well as Zeng Jie, the caregiver they had hired yesterday.

  The doctor asked Anlan about her condition, listened to her lungs with a stethoscope, and nodded: "Hmm, much better than yesterday, the murmur is no longer obvious, but still there. You need to continue resting in bed, also pay attention to eating light food, don't eat spicy or hot foods that can cause internal heat, and of course, keep the air conditioner in your room at a moderate temperature. Remember not to catch another cold or fever."

  The doctor said this, An Lan was quietly listening on the side, when it came to air conditioning, she secretly glanced at it, good guy, last night her sister had helped her adjust to 26°C of comfortable temperature, why did it suddenly become 20°C now? No wonder even the doctor felt cool.

  Yi Shui Han calmly picked up the air conditioner remote control, adjusting the temperature upwards while saying lightly: "I felt hot last night, so I lowered the temperature a bit, and you... didn't seem to feel cold either."

  An Lan, she was locked in his arms last night, and his arms were like a brazier, it would be strange if she didn't feel hot?

  "I brought you the cod porridge that Zhang's sister cooked for you last night," Yi Shuihan looked at her standing there, unable to help but frown and remind her: "Don't hurry up and wash up, I asked Zeng's sister to heat up the porridge, after you eat it will be good for your IV drip."

  An Lan nodded and turned to walk towards the bathroom, just reaching the door when he heard him say: "I'm going to work, take care of yourself and try to recover soon so you can go home."

  Dai Anlan finished washing up and came out of the bathroom, and Yi Shuihan was indeed no longer in the ward. Zeng Jie had already placed a bowl of hot cod porridge on the coffee table in front of the sofa for her.

  Actually, Anlan didn't like being hospitalized. Even with pneumonia, she was unwilling to stay in the hospital room. She would rather, like last time with pneumonia, take a car to the hospital every day for intravenous drips.

  It's actually very boring to stay in the hospital. This morning was okay, because I had to get an IV drip, so whether sitting or lying down, it's all the same, anyway can't move freely.

  Afternoon was annoying, after the infusion was finished, there was almost nothing to do except sleep. Although she was a bit weak all over due to illness, she wasn't so weak that she had to stay in bed all day.

  So she directly fired her nurse, because she didn't need anyone to take care of her at all, and wasn't missing any limbs or unable to move.

  In the evening, she went to the hospital cafeteria to buy dinner and just as she was about to eat, her phone rang, and it was an unfamiliar number.

  Not many people know her phone number, generally only those who are extremely familiar with her, so she didn't think much of it and assumed it was a call from the art center, so she pressed the answer button.

  "An Lan, are you asleep?"

  An Lan hesitated for a moment before recognizing that it was Shao Han Yan's voice, and then naturally replied: "No, I'm just about to have dinner."

  "Then why didn't you come and open the door when I rang the bell?" came Shaohanyan's slightly discontented voice.

  "Doorbell?" An Lan was even more puzzled. Where is the doorbell in this hospital room? Don't nurses always knock on the door when they come in?

  "Come out and open the door, I'm at the entrance," said Shao Hanyan's voice with a hint of impatience.

  "Oh," An Lan responded, quickly getting up and walking a few steps to open the door. However, there was no sign of Shao Hanyan outside, so she couldn't help but ask in confusion: "Mom, which entrance are you at? I didn't see you?"

  "Your home entrance," Shao Hanyan also became suspicious: "Where did you have dinner?"

  "I... I'm at the hospital..."

  "Ah?" Shao Hanyan's voice was clearly laced with surprise: "What are you doing in the hospital?"

  "I've been hospitalized," An Lan saw that the words had already been spoken, and could only report truthfully: "I caught a cold and fever yesterday, came to the hospital and the doctor said it was pneumonia, then..."

  "Alright, which hospital are you in? Which ward is your room in? I'll come over right away." Along with Shao Hanyan's voice came the sound of a car starting up.

  An Lan hung up the phone and sat back down to eat her own dinner, which she had bought back. The hospital cafeteria's dishes were relatively light, but they suited her taste just fine. She didn't think they were bad like others did.

  The meal was not finished, and Shao Hanyan arrived in a hurry. I don't know if she was unfamiliar with the hospital ward, but in short, the head nurse personally escorted her to Anlan's room.

  Seeing her eating fast food, Shao Hanyan immediately began to complain: "What's wrong with Shui Han? His wife is sick in the hospital and he doesn't care? Letting you eat fast food alone? Why didn't he call back and ask Zhang Shu to make something and send it over?"

  An Lan responded to her mother-in-law with a 'qualified' rich lady's attitude: "Shui Han is very busy and has many things to do, besides, I really don't have much time, one meal is still being sent back and forth from home, let alone the hospital cafeteria food is extremely good, after all, the hospital cafeteria chef has long-term experience cooking for patients, maybe it's more suitable for patients than homemade meals."

  Shaohanyan's gaze quickly swept the single room, finally landing on a light blue men's flat-front pants hanging on the balcony. Her eyes lit up: "Did Shuihan stay here last night?"

  An Lan's face immediately turned bright red, she had just washed the clothes she changed out of yesterday this afternoon, but Yi Shui Han had taken away the clothes he changed out of last night early this morning. However, the boxer shorts he took off last night were still in the bathroom, and An Lan was still in the bathroom when he left this morning...

  To change the subject, An Lan hurriedly asked her mother-in-law to sit down on the sofa, then busied herself boiling water: "Mom, there's no tea in the hospital room, I hope you don't mind if I serve you plain boiled water?"

  Shaoyan looked at her blushing daughter-in-law and couldn't help but smile: "Alright, Anlan, don't be busy anymore. I'm not thirsty, I just want to see your new life together. After all, two strangers forming a family have many things to adapt to. I was worried he'd leave you alone in his apartment and ignore you. Since he's here at the hospital with you, it shows he still puts you in the position of wife, so..."

  Shao Hanyan paused here and looked at An Lan: "Gu Anlan, if you only want to get married once in your life, if there is no one you love waiting for you..."

  "But Xiao Shao has someone who deeply loves him and is waiting for him," An Lan interrupted Shaohuan's words, not wanting to hear her many ifs.

  Shao Hanyan was taken aback by his words, then smiled wryly and said: "I know, but aren't you now the legitimate wife of Shui Han? As a wife, shouldn't one try their best to keep their husband by their side?"

  An Lan listened to this and hesitated for a while before saying: "In this world, many things are not something that can be achieved through effort alone, let alone the human heart?"

  Shao Hanyan immediately fell silent, because Gu Anlan's words were piercing, she had tried so hard to keep that man, but whose side was the man's heart still on?

  A barely audible sigh, Shao Hanyan opened her mouth with a hint of helplessness: "Alright, Anlan, you and Shuihan... do whatever you want, people say that the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law is the hardest to get along with. I hope that even if we can't be in-laws in the future, we can still nod at each other when we meet."

  An Lan smiled and nodded: "Thank you, I also hope so. After all, in this life, when people meet each other, it's fate. And we can still be mother-in-law and daughter-in-law once more. Even if it can't last long, but I... will still cherish this period of time."

  "That's good," Shao Hanyan stood up from the sofa with a relieved expression: "Then, Anlan, I'll go back first. Tell Shuihan that I'm going back to Hong Kong tomorrow and it will take some time before I come over again, so he doesn't need to bring you to live in his house on the outskirts either. Tianze and Yu Yan rarely come back, and with such a big house, even if you two are angry or quarrel, no one would bother."

  An Lan was speechless again. She and Yi Shuihan probably wouldn't even argue, let alone fight. She thought he wasn't in the mood for it, and neither was she.

  She came in a flurry and left in a flurry, staying in her sickroom for less than twenty minutes. A middle-aged woman of over fifty, she had the energy to rival that of young people in their twenties or thirties.

  Because of handling some company matters and holding an emergency meeting, Yi Shuihan was already a bit late getting off work.

  When he walked out of the conference room, his secretary was already waiting for him at the door.

  "What's wrong?" Yi Shuihan saw the secretary's expression and immediately knew something was amiss, so he asked with a serious face.

  "Miss Ling said she has booked a private room at Green Wild and is waiting for you," the secretary reported cautiously.

  "Are you telling me to tell her that I'm busy today?" Yi Shuihan's displeasure was evident, wasn't this secretary getting worse at handling his personal matters?

  "Miss Ling said today is her 25th birthday," the secretary explained in a hurry, and then added, "Miss Ling said that if you don't go to Green Wild, she won't leave Green Wild tonight."

  "Got it," Yi Shuihan responded with a gloomy face, while Chen Nan had already taken out his briefcase and coat from the office.

  "This time's machine replacement must be handled properly," Yi Shuihan reminded Chen Nan before getting on the car: "Tell the after-sales manager, if such a thing happens again next time, let him roll up his bedding and leave."

  "Yes!" Chen Nann replied, helping him open the car door and handing over the keys. Finally, he said in a low voice: "I've asked my secretary to order a bouquet of yellow roses for you at Huayixuan across from Lvye."

  Yi Shui's mouth twitched at the corner, and she glared at Chen Nan again. Without saying another word, her face darkened as she got into the car and drove away.

  At 10 o'clock in the evening, An Lan had just finished watching a funny arts program, turned off the TV in the ward and lay down on the bed to sleep, but her mobile phone rang at this time.

  Who called her so late? She hesitated for a moment before picking up the phone, and it was still a set of slightly unfamiliar numbers.

  She hesitated for a moment before pressing the answer button, and it turned out to be Yi Yu Yan's call. As soon as she said "hello", Yi Yu Yan's voice came pouring in like a string of pearls.

  "Oh no, Second Aunt, let my brother answer the phone, I have an urgent matter with him."

  "He's not with me." An Lan replied truthfully.

  Yi Shui Han hasn't arrived until now, she guesses he won't come either. After all, why would a healthy person like him run to the hospital for no reason?

  "Ah, he's not with you?" Yi Yu Yan's voice was tinged with disappointment. Without waiting for An Lan to respond, she asked again: "Do you know where he is then?"

  "How would I know?" An Lan smiled wryly: "I didn't talk to him on the phone today, he's probably busy with something, why don't you just call him and ask directly?"

  "His phone is off," Yi Yu Yan's slightly annoyed voice came from the phone: "Big brother said that this matter is a bit big, if it's not handled properly, I'm afraid there will be trouble for Hai Mi..."

  "Then his phone is turned off and I couldn't find him," An Lan comforted Yi Yu Yan, who was anxious on the phone: "Why don't you call his assistant's phone? Maybe his assistant knows where he is."

  Actually, An Lan originally wanted to say: Why don't you call Ling Yuwei's phone? Maybe Yi Shuihan is with Ling Yuwei.

  But she was afraid that saying such words would make herself appear too petty, and let Yi Yu Yan misunderstand that she was jealous, so she had her assistant call.

  "Who knows, Yi Yu Yan directly said: 'I don't have his assistant's phone number. I've called Second Brother before and never encountered her turning off the phone. Who knew he would mysteriously turn it off today?'"

  An Lanhui said, "You don't know, I don't know either. You can't get through to Yi Shuihan's phone, does that mean I can? Besides, I don't even have Yi Shuihan's phone number."

  She accidentally dialed the number of Yi Shuihan, and when she saw the name "Yi Shuihan" pop up on her screen, she suddenly remembered that he had given her his phone number last night.

  The phone had already been dialed out, and Yi Yu Yan said that Yi Shui Han was turning off the power, so she carelessly prepared to hang up, but unexpectedly, the mobile phone screen showed that it had already connected.

  It's probably Yi Shuihan who has turned on the machine again. She quickly put her phone to her ear, and before she could even open her mouth, a slightly familiar soft female voice came through: "Is it Miss Gu?"

  An Lan was slightly stunned and heard that it was Ling Yuwei's voice, so she said lightly: "Trouble letting Yi Shuihan answer the phone?"

  "He can't answer the phone right now," Ling Yuwei's voice came with a hint of playful smile: "Shui Han is taking a bath at the moment, Miss Gu, wait for a while..."

  "Then you wait for him to call Yu Yan back, Yu Yan seems to have an urgent matter to find him," An Lan quickly interrupted Ling Yuwei's words, after saying this sentence, she didn't wait for Ling Yuwei to speak again and hung up the phone with a 'click'.

  Throw the phone away, bury the whole face in the pillow, originally thought oneself was very strong, but finally, tears still uncontrollably rolled down from the corners of the eyes, surging and overflowing, wetting a large piece of the hospital's white pillow.

  At the same time, it also chilled her heart which had just a little bit of warmth.

  It's not his fault, because he had said before marriage that he would only get married but not love, she was just overthinking, and just because he rushed to the hospital room last night, so she...
