Upon hearing this, the two simultaneously released their grip on each other's collars.

Fu Ciyan raised his hand and straightened his collar: "You two talk."

After saying that, he turned and left without any expression on his face, showing no intention of participating in the conversation between the two.

After everyone left, Zhou Jinlu walked to the window and looked at Xie Linyu, whose hospital gown was disheveled: "You're really ruthless to yourself!"

Xie Linyu ignored his disheveled clothes and didn't bother to straighten them.

He looked up at Zhou Jinlu, his eyes still filled with lingering hostility and mockery: "You're here to laugh at me?"

Zhou Jinlu smiled and shook his head: "It's not that bad. I just wanted to confirm that you really can't accept the walking marriage match and still want to remain chaste for Miss Lu Yao."

Zhou Jinlu's lighthearted words sounded like a joke, yet they also revealed a strange seriousness.

Xie Linyu looked up and met Zhou Jinlu's light brown eyes: "What, you also have feelings for her?"

Zhou Jinlu's smile remained unchanged: "When we met by chance last time, I asked Miss Lu Yao to reserve the next matching opportunity for me."

Xie Linyu's pupils suddenly contracted: "You're quick on the uptake, aren't you? Has your misogyny been cured?"

"It's not better yet," Zhou Jinlu paused, raised his hand and glanced at it, "but Miss Lu Yao is very special. When I'm in contact with her, I don't experience any discomfort or allergic reactions, which is quite rare. You should know what that means."

Xie Linyu frowned upon hearing this. He truly hadn't expected that Zhou Jinlu wouldn't be allergic to Lu Yao.

He knew very well that Zhou Jinlu's refusal to accept matching over the years was not only because he was averse to it, but also because he genuinely could not accept being touched by women. He had been undergoing psychological and physical therapy, but with little success.

The Zhou family has never stopped searching for a woman he can accept.

Therefore, he was well aware of what Lu Yao's appearance meant to Zhou Jinlu.

"Why are you telling me all this?" Xie Linyu said sarcastically. "Instead of considering my thoughts, you should be thinking about how to get Lu Yao to accept you."

Zhou Jinlu smiled and nodded: "You're right. I'll find a way to get Miss Lu Yao to accept it. I'm telling you this so that you know Miss Lu Yao will never belong to just one person. Instead of fighting over her, it's more practical to think about how to get along peacefully."

The last bit of mocking smile on Xie Linyu's face disappeared. He leaned against the headboard, his eyes lowered, and remained silent for a long time.

Zhou Jinlu didn't urge him, but just stood quietly by the window, watching the patients walking on the lawn downstairs.

"How can you be so sure that she will accept you? You're thinking about this too early. Let's wait until she accepts you before we talk about it."

"I know it's too early to say all this now, but I'm just giving you a heads-up so you can be mentally prepared." Zhou Jinlu smiled at him. "And you need to understand that Fu Ciyan, as her first match, holds a special place in her heart. Only if the two of us join forces can we defend his position."

Xie Linyu scoffed, his pale face filled with even more mockery: "You really are calculating in every way, typical of a businessman. I'm sorry, I can't comply. Let's rely on our own abilities. I need to rest now. Goodbye."

"Alright, but my agreement still stands." Zhou Jinlu didn't seem surprised that Xie Linyu would refuse. As he turned around, he remembered something. "By the way, I recommended a doctor who is quite authoritative in the field of reproductive medicine to Miss Lu Yao. You should go and have a look. After all, if you can't be cured, you probably won't have much of a future. I'm leaving now. Get some rest."

That last sentence wasn't very hurtful.

Not long after Lu Yao returned to the ward, Fu Ciyan came back and noticed that Lu Yao's shirt collar, which had been tied up, was now open.

Lu Yao's heart skipped a beat: "You two didn't get into a fight, did you?"

Fu Ciyan glanced at him: "No."

Seeing that he didn't seem to have anything on his mind, Lu Yao didn't ask any further questions, but simply said, "Zhou Jinlu just gave me a business card, saying that he is quite authoritative in the field of reproductive medicine."

As Lu Yao spoke, she handed her business card to Fu Ciyan.

The man took it, glanced at it, and read: Gu Jingxiao, the Gu family?

In the medical field, no one is more authoritative than the Gu family.

He nodded: "Find some time to take him to see a doctor, but it's okay if he can't be cured. I don't think he cares."

"Don't make sarcastic remarks." She had never met a man who was truly indifferent to this kind of thing.

After being lectured, Fu Ciyan did not refute. In fact, there was something else he didn't say: if Xie Linyu really cared, he should have accepted the match long ago. The reason he didn't accept it was because he was gambling!

Because he knew very well that once he accepted the marriage arrangement, his chances of winning over Lu Yao would be very low.

Therefore, he would rather gamble on the probability than accept the idea of ​​a marriage based on walking unions.

However, he wouldn't say this to Lu Yao; why should he speak up for his rival?

"You get some rest, leave these things to me." Fu Ciyan put away the business card, then remembered something, "The test results should be out, I'll go get them."

Lu Yao did not refuse, nodded, and let Fu Ciyan go.

As Fu Ciyan came out of his room, he ran into the attending physician who had come to deliver the test results. Upon seeing him, the attending physician smiled and said, "The test results are very good. The bacteria have all been metabolized. Miss Lu Yao can be discharged at any time."

Fu Ciyan glanced at the medical report in his hand: "Thank you, I understand."

"Don't mention it, it's what we should do." The attending physician smiled and didn't say anything more.

After the doctor left, Fu Ciyan did not return to the ward, but went to the side and called his adjutant.

After the call connected, Fu Ciyan asked, "How is it? Have you confessed everything?"

"Not yet. This kid has quite a backbone. He only said it was his own idea and had nothing to do with Qin Shu. He wanted to take the blame for Qin Shu. He's quite sentimental." The adjutant's reply was tinged with helplessness.

"Show him what Qin Shu did. Isn't there video footage? Show it to him. I don't believe he can remain silent after watching it." Fu Ciyan's words were cold, as if he was certain that A-Feng couldn't accept Qin Shu's messy affairs with other men.

"Okay, I'll apply right now." The adjutant readily agreed, his tone full of eager excitement. "By the way, the Qin family and his family members are all applying for bail. Commander Yu Fu from the Third District just contacted me, but I didn't answer."

"Ignore it. No one can change this." Fu Ciyan's tone was flat, but it was full of coldness.

"I understand, we will get a statement as soon as possible."

"Okay, thank you for your hard work." After Fu Ciyan finished speaking, he ended the call. Just then, Fu Hongyi's voice call came in. Fu Ciyan glanced at it and answered, "If you're here as a mouthpiece for the Qin family, then don't say anything."

"..." Fu Hongyi was silent for a moment, then said in a hoarse voice, "As for resigning from the banquet, I feel that things shouldn't be taken too far. Besides, as far as I know, Lu Yao is alright, isn't she?"

"You seem to have excellent connections. Do you even know that Xie Linyu is crippled? If the Xie family isn't given an explanation, do you think this matter will end? Or do you think the Xie family is no threat?"

"How...how could this be? Xie Linyu...really?"
