Chapter 216: Chapter 216: Why Can’t We Tell Huo Shiyuan
Yuan Xi was reading the comments under the marketing account’s post that announced “Female Billionaire Businesswoman Accused of Being Unfilial,” when she saw Gu Hanchen’s message.
Mi Chen’s Most Handsome: Hahaha, Mi Yi has met his comeuppance!
Mi Chen Game Yuan Xi: “Mi Yi?”
Mi Chen’s Most Handsome: If it’s not Mi Yi, could it be you? Granny Chu is sharp-witted, you know. Despite the fuss she made about your brother marrying his secretary, she wouldn’t dare make a huge scene on the engagement night if the bodyguards hadn’t held her back. She makes a small fuss in front of you guys so Uncle Chu will give her money, but do you think he’d still give her money if she took to the internet and insulted you?
Mi Chen’s Most Handsome: In the gaming circle, you can count female billionaires on one hand, and the unfilial one is none other than Mi Yi.
Mi Chen’s Most Handsome: Also, Fang Qin sent me this news. Didn’t Huo Shiyuan say he didn’t want anyone disturbing you today? So Fang Qin came to ask me instead. She initially wanted to stop the marketers from talking nonsense, but after asking, she found out that the person they planned to expose wasn’t you at all.
Yuan Xi looked at the messages from Gu Hanchen, then lifted her eyes to Huo Shiyuan, “Did you tell people in the company not to disturb me?”
“This morning during the early meeting, you weren’t there, and Gu Hanchen’s call came to me,” he said.
Yuan Xi chuckled lightly, “I used to joke with Chen Yuansui that I’d never be one of those who died alone and only got discovered days later, because Gu Hanchen would always find a way to contact me.”
Recalling the time she lived alone, Yuan Xi looked toward the highway and said to Huo Shiyuan, “Actually, you always say that my love for you is too rational, but aren’t you the same? You waited until you’d finished your Ph.D. to come back from abroad, and didn’t give up your overseas studies for me…”
Huo Shiyuan was slightly stunned.
Yuan Xi continued, “You also say that I’m never sad when you leave Jiang City, yet you’ve never said you’d stay in Jiang City for me either.”
Huo Shiyuan found himself unable to refute this point.
Yuan Xi looked out the window at the receding trees and said, “I’ve seen too many wealthy couples in their middle age leading separate lives. People like President Xu from Hengjie Paper Industry, Uncle Liang, they’re not exceptional cases but rather a common problem among business owners in Jiang City.
I can’t accept a life where each person does their own thing. If one day you stopped loving me, I’d leave, but as long as you love me, I won’t bring up divorce.”
Clutching the steering wheel tightly, Huo Shiyuan said, “In the end, you still don’t trust me enough, which is why you’re unwilling to give me your heart.”
Huo Shiyuan said, “Is it true that only if I signed a document relinquishing all my possessions upon leaving you, that you’d be willing to give me your heart?”
Yuan Xi smiled, “My own assets are already enough to last several lifetimes, why would I need yours?”
Huo Shiyuan asked uncertainly, “Have you been hurt by a former boyfriend?”
Huo Shiyuan understood that Yuan Xi had never been in a relationship, but her expression seemed like she had been deeply wounded by someone.
Yuan Xi chuckled and shook her head, “Not at all, where would I get a former boyfriend from?”
It was quite regrettable, she thought, to have never experienced a romantic relationship before getting married.
The car pulled into a service area.
Huo Shiyuan took Yuan Xi to the shopping center inside, where they bought two cups of coffee.
“Two hot lattes,” he said.
Yuan Xi said, “No, I want an iced Americano.”
Huo Shiyuan said, “You’ve just had a baby; you can’t have anything cold yet.”
Yuan Xi reluctantly agreed to the hot latte.
Looking at Yuan Xi, Huo Shiyuan asked, “Can’t you give me a bit more confidence?”
Yuan Xi took a subdued sip of her hot latte and said, “I do have a lot of confidence in you. Let’s not talk about this anymore, okay? I really miss Lele and An An.”
Ordinarily at this time, she might have already returned from the company, playing with Lele and An An.
Huo Shiyuan didn’t pursue the topic any further, but he knew that it was a thorn, and if not removed, it would lead to endless arguments in the future.
What had hurt Yuan Xi enough to make her so distrustful toward him…
Huo Shiyuan looked at Yuan Xi and regretted once again that he hadn’t stayed in the country for his studies, missing out on Yuan Xi’s life.
After returning home,
Yuan Xi went to hold Lele. The afternoon sun was warm, and the nanny had dressed Lele in a thin little dress. Looking at her soft and adorable daughter, Yuan Xi’s gloom of the past few days completely dissipated.
Yuan Xi saw that her watch indicated an important incoming call. As she looked at the familiar yet strange contact info, Yuan Xi put down Lele and answered the phone.
“Uncle Xiong.”
“Xiao Xi, I really need your help with something. Jiaojiao’s condition is really bad this year; she’s been staying in the Licheng psychiatric hospital for a month now, but her condition has been getting worse. I’m thinking of transferring Jiaojiao to a psychiatric hospital in City A, but it seems they’re fully booked, and… ever since we moved back to our hometown, we nearly have no income. I wanted to ask if we could borrow some money from you…”
Yuan Xi said, “Uncle, don’t worry about the medical expenses. I’ll transfer fifty thousand to you for now. You charter a car and bring Jiaojiao over to City A, and I will figure out a way to get in touch with the psychiatric hospital in City A.”
After saying this, Yuan Xi made a call to Gu Hanchen.
Gu Hanchen, “Why are you asking me for help with contacting the psychiatric hospital in City A? Why not just ask your husband for help? Could it be that you want to send your husband to the psychiatric hospital?”
Yuan Xi, “…”
If possible, she actually was quite tempted to send Gu Hanchen to a psychiatric hospital.

Yuan Xi said, “If I ask Huo Shiyuan for help, he will surely pry until he gets to the bottom of it. I don’t want him to know so much, just help arrange a hospital bed, that’s all.”
Gu Hanchen replied, “Last time, when I helped your grandfather, I relied on Xiao Yun, and if I try now, I can only turn to Xiao Yun. Wouldn’t Huo Shiyuan eventually find out if I contacted Xiao Yun?”
“Forget it, I don’t need your help anymore.”
Yuan Xi hung up the phone.
Yuan Xi had other connections in City A. She dialed Fu Qin’s number.
Luckily, Fu Qin was at Wen Zhuo’s place and thus came over to Yuan Xi’s home.
Watching Yuan Xi play with the baby in the garden, Fu Qin asked, “May I hold Ruolin?”
Yuan Xi passed her little daughter to Fu Qin, who said with a smile, “You really did give birth to a mini Ms. Shi. She looks so much like Ms. Shi.”
Yuan Xi smiled lightly and said, “Actually, she does look a bit like me too.”
Fu Qin examined Lele’s little face closely, “Her mouth looks like yours.”
Yuan Xi said, “Fu Qin, there’s something I need to ask of you… but could you not tell Huo Shiyuan about it?”
Fu Qin replied, “Tell me, I’ll help you with anything I can.”
“Now is the peak season for psychiatric illnesses. I have a friend who, every year around this time, has an episode and needs to be hospitalized. She used to be in the psychiatric hospital in Licheng, but her condition seems to have gotten worse this year. Her family wants to transfer her to City A, but it looks like there are no vacancies here. I need your help arranging a spot.”
“Okay, I’ll contact them for you right now.”
Fu Qin didn’t ask further about why Yuan Xi had a friend with mental illness.
But Fu Qin was still curious, “Why can’t you tell Huo Shiyuan about this?”
Yuan Xi replied, “I don’t want to discuss my friend’s situation with others. You won’t ask, but Huo Shiyuan will.”
Fu Qin smiled, “Hmm.”
