Newlyweds got the wrong marriage certificate, and his sweet, delicate wife is experiencing morning s

He just couldn't believe it. Could it be that Momo wouldn't even answer his own phone anymore?

Or is someone controlling Momo, which is why she is so cruel to herself?

The thought of his beloved woman enduring such great pain pierced Li Yunqi's heart.

He had his assistant switch to a different phone and call again, and this time Jiang Momo finally answered.

On the other end of the phone, Jiang Momo looked at the brand new, unfamiliar number. Although she had already guessed that it was Li Yunqi, she still chose to answer.

After all, this person kept pestering her, and she couldn't guarantee that if she ignored him again, Li Yunqi wouldn't just rush to the door of the room, which would be even more difficult to deal with.

Holding the phone to her ear, Jiang Momo met Li Jiuyuan's scrutinizing gaze and asked in a low voice, "What?"

A man's anxious yet excited voice came through the receiver.

"Ms. Jiang, you've finally answered the phone! Mr. Li drank too much last night and suffered a stomach hemorrhage!"

Jiang Momo frowned almost imperceptibly. She turned her head away, avoiding Li Jiuyuan's gaze, and her voice held a hint of surprise.

"What does this have to do with me?"

It can't be because of her, can it?

Jiang Momo's heart clenched tightly. She tried her best to remain calm, but she had no idea how deliberate her behavior appeared in Li Jiuyuan's eyes.

Li Jiuyuan lowered his eyes indifferently.

This call... is it from Li Yunqi?

What does he want to do? Declare war on himself, or call Jiang Momo away in front of him?

He took a step forward and raised his hand to try and take the phone from Jiang Momo's palm.

The latter was startled and retreated repeatedly, his voice becoming unsteady.

"No!"

Jiang Momo hurriedly dodged the man's movements, this time without even using a proper form of address.

Li Jiuyuan was closing in on him, while the voice of Li Yunqi's assistant echoed in his ears.

"Miss Jiang, Mr. Li drank all night because he missed you so much. He also said that if you don't go now, he won't accept any effective treatment."

Jiang Momo: ...

This guy's insane! If he wants to die, why is he dragging himself along?!

Meanwhile, at Li Yunqi's prompting, the assistant tried his best to make Li Yunqi's condition sound more and more serious.

"Just out of consideration for our long-standing friendship, please come over as soon as possible!"

When Jiang Momo heard these words, she found them laughable.

What was left of their relationship? Their past feelings had been completely worn away by Li Yunqi's repeated entanglements.

Just as she was about to make a sarcastic remark and refuse, Jiang Momo suddenly remembered why she had come to Xiangcheng.

Without Li Yunqi, she wouldn't have been able to get her current job so easily, and her grandmother's medical expenses wouldn't have been covered.

So, upon closer examination, it seems she does indeed owe Li Yunqi something.

Forget it, consider it repaying this debt of gratitude. After this, she and Li Yunqi will be even.

Jiang Momo took a deep breath and said, "Okay, I understand."

After she hung up the phone, she no longer had the courage to look at Li Jiuyuan.

After making thorough preparations, Jiang Momo took a deep breath and spoke to the man.

But there was no confidence in his words.

"Ninth Master, I have some things to take care of. You should go home first today."

Li Jiuyuan: ...

A self-deprecating smile curled at the corners of the man's lips.

"What is it?"

Is it because he has something to deal with, or because he doesn't want to come back with me and wants to see someone else?

Little did she know that Li Jiuyuan would relentlessly press her for an answer, and Jiang Momo couldn't think of a good one for a moment, so she just made up an excuse:

"It's just work-related stuff; I still need to go and hand it over again."

After she finished speaking, fearing that Li Jiuyuan would continue to ask questions, she casually put on a coat and was about to leave.

In Li Jiuyuan's view, she was eager to see Li Yunqi and was no longer willing to be perfunctory.

After taking two steps, Jiang Momo suddenly felt a weight on her hand. She turned around and saw that Li Jiuyuan had grabbed her.

The man's expression was cold, but it also carried a hint of heartache that Jiang Momo couldn't understand.

His voice was low, and seemed to tremble.

"Jiang Momo, I'm asking you one last time, can you please not go?"

Can you please not abandon yourself?

She's abandoned him so many times already, can't she choose him this time?

Or perhaps, in Jiang Momo's eyes, he was never as good as Li Yunqi.

Unable to understand the look in Li Jiuyuan's eyes, Jiang Momo finally raised her hand and brushed his hand away.

"Ninth Master, I really have some very important business to attend to. I promise I'll return to the capital as soon as it's over."

After she finished speaking, she flashed what she thought was a flawless smile and hurriedly left.

When the door to the room was closed again, the heavy sound of it closing echoed inside. Even though the lights were on so brightly, Li Jiuyuan suddenly felt as if the whole world had gone dark.

He was indeed abandoned once again.

That sounds nice, but will Jiang Momo really come back so soon after leaving this time?

She and Li Yunqi must be inseparable after not seeing each other for so long, like dry wood meeting a raging fire.

Then what am I? From beginning to end, I've been nothing but a joke.

He had been deceiving himself all along, thinking that as long as he kept Jiang Momo by his side, he would eventually be able to warm her heart.

But in the end... ha.

Li Jiuyuan suddenly felt incredibly lowly. If the outside world knew that the ruthless Master Li Jiu had humbled himself to this extent for a woman, they would probably only laugh at him.

But he still refuses to admit it.

The man clenched his fists so tightly that his nails dug deep into his flesh, leaving bloody marks.

A mocking smile curled at the corners of his lips.

"Li Jiuyuan, this is the last time."

As soon as he finished speaking, he pushed open the door and followed in the direction Jiang Momo had just left.

The room was plunged into complete darkness.

……

Jiang Momo rushed as fast as she could and finally arrived at the hospital before the deadline her assistant had given her.

Inside the ward, the assistant peeked out and saw Jiang Momo rushing towards him. He quickly turned back to Li Yunqi and said:

"Mr. Li, please lie down quickly, Miss Jiang will be here soon!"

Upon receiving the signal, Li Yunqi immediately closed his eyes, but his heart was pounding with excitement.

He knew that Momo must still love him, otherwise why would she rush to the hospital as soon as she heard that he was in trouble?

The harsh words I said to myself before were just because I was afraid he would be implicated.

His heart pounded. After waiting a few more minutes, he finally heard Jiang Momo standing in front of the ward, panting heavily.

"How is it?"

Jiang Momo asked her assistant, trying to calm her breathing.

The assistant switched expressions in a second and said:

"I just called the doctor. Mr. Li finally agreed to receive treatment after hearing that you were coming. Please go in and see him."

Having already come all this way, Jiang Momo went inside, even though she was reluctant.

She stood beside the hospital bed, looking at Li Yunqi's pale face as he lay on the bed, her heart completely unmoved.

I just want to resolve this as soon as possible and leave.
