Lu Qingchuan's confession took place on a bright sunny afternoon.
By that time, Yun Qiyan had been discharged, and Meng Xi'er needed to rest and recover, so she remained in the hospital.
All this while, it was Lu Qingchuan who was taking care of her.
Lu Yebai hadn't been around since their previous argument.
It was understandable. Such a prideful man, who had never learned to bow to anyone from childhood, how could he possibly swallow his pride to visit her after being rebuked that day?
Deep down, Meng Xi'er didn't feel much pain. Perhaps it was because she had been in despair for too long, and the last ray of hope she had was personally torn apart by him. Lu Yebai's absence, surprisingly, gave her relief.
Meng Xi'er, alone in the hospital occupying a room, found herself more comfortable than living in the Lu family's home. She spent her days with the lovely nurse sisters and Lu Qingchuan, and her health improved rapidly.
