Chapter 94: Three Pieces Broken
Seeing Xiang Shang walk in without knocking and lie down on the sofa, Chen Miao raised an eyebrow but didn't say anything and continued doing her own thing.

The silence lasted for more than half an hour before Xiang Shang finally sat up from the sofa, grumbling.

"You bastard, aren't you even going to ask me what's wrong?"

Chen Miao looked up at him and asked, "What's wrong?"

"I'm fine!"

Chen Miao rolled her eyes, knowing she shouldn't pay him any attention.

Seeing that Chen Miao was silent again, Xiang Shang was furious.

"You mean it's nothing when I say it's nothing?"

"Then what's the matter with you?"

Chen Miao asked without looking up.

"I'm heartbroken!"

"Hmm? Do you have a boyfriend?"

Chen Miao's curious words immediately broke Xiang Shang's guard.

"Laozi, Laozi..."

Xiang Shang talked for a long time, but still couldn't come to a conclusion.

Finally, he slumped onto the sofa, utterly dejected.

Yes, does he have a girlfriend?

He was just pursuing Gigi Lai, and it's perfectly normal for her to reject him.
Everyone gets rejected before. If you're not satisfied, just find someone else!
Just as Xiang Shang was mentally preparing himself, Chen Miao suddenly said something else.

"By the way, what kind of gift did you ask me to give this morning?"

Xiang Shang couldn't hold back any longer and rushed over to grab Chen Miao's neck and shake him wildly.

"I'll make you give a gift, I'll make you give a gift!"

……

after an hour.

Chen Miao listened to Xiang Shang's story.

He had no advice to offer on this matter, and he'd never been in a relationship, so he was good enough to just be a listener.

However, he felt he still had to say something about Xiang Shang giving away peach charms.

Although Chen Miao thought that peach charms were much more useful than those bags, it also depended on whether others liked them or not.

"Next time, don't send peach charms first, send bags and things like that first. It's not like we don't have money."

"I'll give her the rest after I've won her over."

After Chen Miao finished speaking, he heard Xiang Shang sigh.

"Wasn't I just giving my heart to yours?"

"Besides, I liked her quite a bit when I first met her, so how come she suddenly seems like a completely different person!"

"They even smashed the peach charm and gave it back to me. Did they have to be so ruthless? They should have just thrown it away. Out of sight, out of mind!"

Xiang Shang said with a bitter face.

"Alright, learn from your mistakes and remember this next time."

Chen Miao said something, then asked, "Did you give the peach wood charms I asked you to deliver to our parents last time?"

"No, I've just been busy and haven't had time to go back."

As he spoke, Xiang Shang was about to take out the peach charms from his bag.

Unexpectedly, the phone rang at that moment. It was an unknown number, but the AI ​​automatically identified it as belonging to the Shannan Central Hospital.

After hesitating for a moment, Xiang Shang answered the call.

"Hello, are you Gigi Lai's friend?"

"what happened?"

Xiang Shang frowned. People from the hospital called to ask if he was Gigi Lai's friend.

If it's not a scam, then it is... Xiang Shang's heart skipped a beat.

"Here's the thing, Gigi Lai was in a car accident and is currently unconscious. After I unlocked her phone with her fingerprint, I saw that you were the most recent contact, so I called you first."

Do you have time to come over?

Bang!
Xiang Shang jumped up from the sofa, grabbed the bag, and ran downstairs.

"I'm going right now. How is Gigi Lai? Is she alright?"

Seeing this, Chen Miao also chased after him.

Soon, the two arrived at the parking lot, and Xiang Shang got on the bike and began to put on his helmet.

"Who's in trouble?"

"Something happened to Gigi Lai, I need to go see her."

Xiang Shang put on his helmet and took out his key from his bag and inserted it.

"Do you need me to go?"

"No need, I'll contact you if anything comes up."

hum!
The sound of a motorcycle rang out, and as Chen Miao watched Xiang Shang leave, he suddenly felt that something was wrong.

Frowning, Chen Miao recalled everything that had just happened, the last image of which lingered on Xiang Shang's car keys.

The peach charm hanging on the car key was broken and only half remained!
Chen Miao took out his phone and called Xiang Shang, but no one answered either time.

Chen Miao frowned when he received no response.

"What caused it to break?"

Chen Miao suddenly remembered Xiang Shang saying that Li Zi had returned the broken peach charm to him, and his heart skipped a beat. Was it broken by smashing, or by some other means?

Chen Miao immediately returned to his office and opened the book.

There were no changes in the book.

“I didn’t sense any Yin energy fluctuations from Xiang Shang just now, so he should be fine during the day at least.”

However, Chen Miao was still worried about the broken peach charms.

After picking up his phone and sending a message to Shi Manman, asking her to inform the others that he had to leave, Chen Miao began packing his things, then grabbed his car keys and went downstairs.

Sitting in the car, Chen Miao sent a message to Xiang Shang.

"Call me when you see this message, it's urgent!"

After sending the message, Chen Miao drove away from Tianmen Funeral Home.

Two hours later.

Chen Miao arrived at Shannan Central Hospital, but Xiang Shang had not yet called him, and he did not know which ward he was in.

He immediately went to the front desk to inquire, and fortunately, Gigi Lai had only been there a short time, so he quickly found the answer.

When Chen Miao arrived, before he even entered the room, he saw two nurses storming out.

"What a waste of such a gentle face, her personality is truly awful!"

"Exactly! Her boyfriend is so handsome, yet she spoke ill of him. She doesn't know how lucky she is!"

Chen Miao entered the ward and saw Xiang Shang standing in front of the bed, looking both distressed and embarrassed.

"I just came to see you. I'm glad you're alright. I'll be leaving now."

"Who told you to come here? Get out!"

Upon hearing this, Xiang Shang walked out dejectedly.

Chen Miao frowned and followed Xiang Shang out.

"Why are you here?"

Xiang Shang said with a hint of bitterness.

"She wasn't like this before. Maybe I really upset her."

Chen Miao ignored him, reached out and took Xiang Shang's bag, then opened it.

Then he saw the peach charm on the car key.

When did it break?

Xiang Shang glanced at it.

"Huh? It broke again."

"It broke again?"

Chen Miao asked.

"Yes, I saw that the one you gave me was broken when I woke up yesterday morning. I was going to tell you so you could get me a replacement, but then Gigi Lai called and I forgot about it."

"After that, I took a new one and wore it for the time being, which is the one I'm wearing now. I didn't even realize when this one broke."

Xiang Shang sat on a chair in the hospital corridor and said weakly.

Chen Miao frowned.

"Where's the one Gigi Lai returned to you? Let me see."

"It's in your bag too, find it yourself."

Soon, Chen Miao saw Gigi Lai's.

It doesn't look like it was smashed or dropped at all.

There were no dents or scratches on the peach charms.

Having made up his mind, Chen Miao placed the bag on the chair, ignored Xiang Shang who was grieving alone, and turned to walk into the ward.

Seemingly because her anger had affected her mental state, Gigi Lai had fallen asleep.

Chen Miao stood in front of the hospital bed and did not detect any yin energy.

He placed his peach charm in Gigi Lai's hand.

Nothing happened.

Frowning, Chen Miao went outside and opened the book.

There was nothing in the book.

"What is the reason?"

Chen Miao couldn't figure it out, but he knew there was definitely something wrong with it.

It could be a coincidence if one peach charm broke, but three broke this time, which is impossible.

Chen Miao sat down next to Xiang Shang and said, "Tell me about what's happened to you these past two days."

"Forget it, I'm a little tired."

Xiang Shang closed his eyes, not wanting to say anything more, but Chen Miao's words made him change his mind.

"Tell me, maybe this will help Gigi Lai return to normal. Don't you think Gigi Lai's changes are too abrupt?"

Xiang Shang looked at Chen Miao.

"What do you mean?"

"Do you trust me? If you do, don't ask any questions yet, just tell me what's going on."

After looking at Chen Miao for a while, Xiang Shang immediately told her about what had happened between him and Gigi Lai in the past two days.
