Bad luck would descend on people who had everything they wanted.

Yan Xi was deeply touched by this saying.

It was her first time attending a top-notch medical summit on her own. After sleeping for a while, she woke up to find that her hand was uncontrollably stabbing her chest with a knife.

The sudden pain caused her vision to darken, and her already muddled thoughts started to drift away.

In dizziness, she heard the man gritting his teeth. “Yan Xi! Do you like Zhang Ming that much?!”

Yan Xi thought to herself that the man’s voice was actually quite nice.

…

When Yan Xi opened her eyes again, her wound had already been bandaged, but it still hurt.

She hissed, her confused gaze sweeping the room before settling on the man beside the bed.

The man was sitting in a wheelchair. He was handsome and had deep facial features. His pair of peach blossom eyes looked calmly at Yan Xi without any emotions.

There was actually such a handsome person in the world. Yan Xi was stunned and subconsciously called out, “Hubby.”

The man frowned slightly, his eyes watery. He pushed a document towards Yan Xi and said in a low and cold voice, “This is the divorce agreement. I’ve already signed it.”

He paused for a moment before adding, “As for Zhang Ming, I will no longer hold him responsible.”

Wow, divorce at the start.

As Yan Xi thought to herself, a memory that did not belong to her was forcefully squeezed into her mind. She widened her eyes, and everything that seemed abnormal now made perfect sense.

She entered a book that her best friend strongly recommended and became an infamous female supporting character who had an affair with her Ex.

The man in front of her was the male supporting actor, Gu Shen, and the elder brother of the female lead, Gu Yuan. At the age of 26, he had stabilized his business empire. His only flaw was that he was permanently disabled and could only move in a wheelchair.

Although Gu She was handsome, rich, domineering, and affectionate, for some reason, girls in this book never fell in love with him, perhaps because of his disability. Eventually, they made the Host, an illegitimate daughter of the Yan family, marry him.

Resentful at being made to marry Gu Shen, the Host started to retaliate by making out with her Ex, deliberately cheating on him. Yan Xi was angry while she was reading the book, but now she was even angrier when she thought about it. She thought those people really had bad taste. If she were to choose, she would’ve definitely chosen to marry Gu Shen as he was her ideal type.

The current storyline was that the Host was busted while secretly meeting with her Ex. Zhang Ming flew into a rage out of humiliation and stabbed Gu Shen’s assistant. In order to get Gu Shen to drop the charges against Zhang Ming, the Host threatened him by stabbing herself with a knife.

It was no wonder she was getting a divorce.

Seeing that Yan Xi was distracted, Gu Shen spoke again, “The assets in the marriage have been divided. This money is enough for you to live comfortably for the rest of your life.”

“Wait!” Yan Xi quickly sat up. The wound caused her to gasp, but her eyes were sparkling. “Hubby, I’m not getting a divorce!”

Gu Shen frowned and guessed according to what he knew about her. “Not enough money?”

“It’s not about the money. I don’t want to divorce you. You don’t have to withdraw the charges against Zhang Ming. If he did something wrong, he should be punished by the law.”

Gu Shen’s brows twitched and his cold gaze landed on Yan Xi.

“Do you know what you’re talking about?”

“I know.” Yan Xi’s tone was serious. “I’m not getting a divorce.”

The person who used a knife to force him to divorce and withdraw the charges suddenly became different.

Did she really not want a divorce, or was it a new trick?

Gu Shen sneered, looking at Yan Xi. “Then why did you stab yourself?”

“Is that the knife I just bought?” Yan Xi’s face was not red and her heart was not beating fast. She smiled and asked, “Do you think it’s fast?”

“Don’t give me that crap.” Gu Shen did not take the document back. “Think carefully. I’ll get the document back before tomorrow morning. It’s up to you to sign or not.”

With that, he wheeled himself out of the room.

Yan Xi thought to herself that only a fool would sign it.

She knew from the book that if she took the money and ran away, she would end up being murdered and her body burned. As for the money, it would be taken away by Zhang Ming to have fun with her bestie.

Instead of getting murdered, she thought she might as well stay with Gu Shen and get a handsome rich husband for free. What was more, She got to torture jerk.

…

The anti-inflammatory medicine didn’t seem to have any effect. In the middle of the night, Yan Xi’s wound started to exacerbate.

Her entire body was boiling hot, like a half-melted wax. She felt extremely uncomfortable.

Her throat was hoarse and dry, and she could not make any sound, so Yan Xi did not call for help. She forced herself to sit up and found anti-inflammatory medicine from the bedside drawer. She chewed a few mouthfuls and swallowed them.

The bitter taste of the medicine spread in her mouth, but Yan Xi did not feel uncomfortable. She was already used to this taste.

At the age of fourteen, Yan Xi was admitted to a medical school and mentored by Zheng Ming, one of the top doctors in the country. At the age of twenty-three, she received a doctorate degree and became an attending physician in the hospital. However, before she could enjoy her bright future, she was thrown into a book. The only thing that kept her in this book was her handsome husband.

However, the terrible things that the Host did to Gu Shen were too many to be counted. She didn’t know if she could save this broken marriage.

While she was lost in thought, the pain started to subside and soon she drifted into a deep sleep.

After sleeping for a few hours, Yan Xi was woken up by someone. A sharp voice rang in her ears. The person felt that it was not enough and slapped Yan Xi’s wound.

“Why are you still sleeping? Zhang Ming is about to go to court!” Su Wanwan rattled on by her ear. “If the other party doesn’t withdraw the lawsuit, he’ll be sentenced to at least 15 years in jail. Didn’t you say you would help him?! What have you done?!”

Enduring the intense pain in her chest, Yan Xi impatiently opened her eyes and looked at Su Wan with a bone-chilling gaze.

She retorted unreservedly, “Can’t you see the wounds on my body? If you like Zhang Ming so much, why don’t you find someone to help him Instead of me.”

“What nonsense are you spouting?” Su Wan felt guilty but she continued as if she was in the right. “Even if you’re injured, you can’t ignore Zhang Ming! He loves you so much that he hurt people because he was afraid you would be treated unfairly. How could you allow yourself to watch him being sent to the jail?”

“Afraid I would be treated unfairly?” Yan Xi sneered. “He’s afraid that he won’t be able to get the money.”

Su Wan widened her eyes. “How can you say that about him?! Go beg Gu Shen, give in to him, and ask him to drop the lawsuit.”

Yan Xi sneered. “Instead of asking me to beg Gu Shen, tell Zhang Ming that he should be happy that I didn’t sue him for hitting my husband.”

Su Wan was stunned for a moment and asked in surprise, “Yan Xi, what’s wrong with you? Don’t you like Zhang Ming? Why are you calling Gu Shen your husband now? Did he force you to say so?”

“My husband treats me very well.” Yan Xi raised her chin and said proudly, “Don’t talk nonsense from now on. I only love my husband now. Who the fuck is Zhang Ming?”

Yan Xi called Gu Shen husband very sweetly.

Gu Shen sat in the wheelchair and looked at the person in front of him with a dark gaze.

What the hell was Yan Xi thinking? He frowned, but at the same time, a sliver of hope popped up in his heart..

When Su Wan heard Yan Xi’s words, she immediately frowned and reprimanded her in a high and mighty tone.

“Zhang Ming sacrificed so much for you. He loves you to the point that he’ll sacrifice himself just to protect you. Yet, you abandoned him so cruelly!”

Yan Xi glanced at Su Wan coldly, thinking to herself, what nice words!

However, after that, even though Su Wan knew that Zhang Ming murdered the Host, she still got together with him and took the Host’s money.

Why didn’t she feel that he was abandoning her?

“Zhang Ming brought this upon himself. I won’t care about him.” Yan Xi coldly asked her to leave, “I’m going to rest. Get out.”

“How did you become so cold-blooded?” Su Wan complained as she sat next to Yan Xi’s bed. She chose to ignore the bandage on the bed and held Yan Xi’s shoulder tightly, her long and sharp nails circling around the wound.

“Zhang Ming is about to go to jail and you still want to rest!”

Su Wan was unhappy. She used a little force and her fingertips pierced into Yan Xi’s gauze.

The fragile wound burst open. The sudden pain made Yan Xi’s body go limp and she almost fell to the ground.

“Let go!” Yan Xi’s voice was already hoarse. In addition to the pain, her voice was like a mosquito buzzing, almost inaudible.

Su Wan pretended not to hear anything. Her fingers were still on Yan Xi’s wound, half pleading and half threatening.

“Yan Xi, nothing can happen to Zhang Ming. Go and beg Gu Shen to drop the charges against Zhang Ming.”

The wound swelled up, hurting and swelling. Yan Xi’s forehead was covered in a cold sweat. She reached out to push Su Wan, but the force was soft and couldn’t move her at all.

Taking advantage of Yan Xi’s vulnerability, Su Wan tightened her grip a bit at a time.

“Zhang Ming treats you so well, you must save him.”

This lunatic!

Yan Xi tilted her head and her gaze fell on the glass beside her.

Without any hesitation, she grabbed the glass and smashed it into Su Wan’s head.

What came after the glass was broken into pieces was the painful scream from Su Wan. She then let go of Yan Xi and frantically fiddled with the glass shards on her head.

“Someone Help!” Yan Xi seemed to have heard the sound of a wheelchair and immediately used all her strength to shout, “Gu Shen, Help me!”

The door opened completely and Gu Shen was pushed in by Gu Yi.

He looked at Yan Xi who was lying weakly on the bed. There was a trace of blood on the bandage on her shoulder and her eyes were red. She looked pitiful and aggrieved.

The moment Gu Shen went over, Yan Xi complained to him in a sexy and soft voice, completely different from before. “She purposely hurt me with her fingernails. I don’t want to see her again. Kick her out!”

“Yan Xi, you wanna kick me out? Are you crazy?!”

Yan Xi had always been obedient to Su Wan. Even if she was wronged, she would still rush over to beg for her forgiveness. But today, she turned against her all of a sudden.

Su Wan opened her mouth and wanted to say something more.

Gu Shen sent Gu Yi a signal, who then walked up to Su Wan and said politely and firmly, “Miss Su, please leave.”

Su Wan didn’t want to move, so Gu Yi helped her. He grabbed her wrist and dragged her out forcefully.

The noise disappeared and the room became quiet.

Yan Xi looked at her shoulder and realized that the blood had seeped out of the bandage, leaving a faint red mark.

“Hubby, my wound hurts.”

After Yan Xi finished speaking, she eagerly waited for Gu Shen to comfort her like a kitten waiting for its owner to touch its head.

Gu Shen frowned, feeling troubled by something he was not aware of. “Gu Yi has already called the doctor.”

“But the doctor isn’t here yet.” Yan Xi’s eyes were misty. “I’m really in a lot of pain and my blood is still coming out.”

Gu Shen looked at her steadily. After a moment, he compromised, “What do you want?”

Yan Xi blurted out, “Hubby, just hug me..”
