Male Lead's Canon Fodder Wife - Chapter 144

Chapter 144: Mimosa
“Huh? I thought they were just arguing about money.” Another villager said in surprise.

“No matter what the truth is, it is a fact that Lu Jueyu framed Li Chenmo and forced him to marry her. She and Xiao Yiqing are both shameless women. It’s a pity that a good man is ruined like this.” There was obvious jealousy in the villager’s words.

If it weren’t for Lu Jueyu, it would have been her sister who became Li Chenmo’s wife. Then the good things the Lu family gets will become hers and her family. Unfortunately, before she could mention the matter between her sister and Li Chenmo to Father Li, the villagers discovered Lu Jueyu and Li Chenmo at the mountain foothill first.

While the villagers were spending their time gossiping, Pan Meijia was in the hospital, looking at the sleeping man. Due to his injuries, he won’t be discharged from the hospital until tomorrow.

After sending Ling Yun to the hospital, she had already put the matter about him on the back of her mind. When Xiao Li saw her at the village hall today, he blocked her way and said that his brother wanted to see her and thanked her in person. Pan Meijia couldn’t do anything under Xiao Li’s urging, so she went to the hospital.

Before coming to the hospital, she returned to the Lu family and brought a bag of wild berries that she picked yesterday. Now, standing by the bed, she didn’t know whether to wait for him to wake up or leave. Just when she was in a dilemma, the man slowly opened his eyes, and their eyes met.

The moment Pan Meijia met his eyes, her heart skipped a beat and she stammered: “I…ah, hello.”

Ling Yun stared blankly at the girl in front of him. He didn’t know who she was, but when he heard her voice, he knew this girl was the one who saved his life. The girl who complained all the way from the village to the hospital. But despite all her complaints, she not only sent him to the hospital, but also spent a lot of money to pay for his hospital bill. So, he was very grateful to her. After a while, he tried to sit up.

Seeing him struggling to sit up, Pan Meijia quickly held his shoulder and supported him. She placed the pillow behind him to make him more comfortable. After that, she quickly let go and said, “Well… Comrade Xiao said you want to see me. Do you need my help with anything?”

After hearing her words, Ling Yun nodded and said, “I just want to thank my benefactor for saving my life and lending me money.”

Due to physical weakness after the operation, and being just woken up, his deep voice was slightly hoarse. Pan Meijia felt her ears were blessed when she heard his voice. It was so sexy that her heartbeat instantly increased. Coupled with his handsome face, she felt her cheeks getting hotter and hotter.

After a while, Pan Meijia came back to her senses and waved her hands quickly while saying, “Your words are too heavy. I just sent you to the hospital. It was the doctors and nurses who saved your life. As for the money, it is just a small matter. You can return it at any time.”

As she waved, she realized she was still holding the bag of wild berries. She quickly handed him the wild berries and said, “This is for you. I picked it yesterday. It’s very fresh and very sweet.”

Ling Yun looked at the wild berries in the bag and said, “Thank you.”

“No problem.” Pan Meijia said, rubbing her nose.

This was the first time she felt so embarrassed when talking to a man. She didn’t know what was wrong with her. She didn’t dare to look at him directly. After a brief conversation, both of them fell silent. Pan Meijia felt extremely uncomfortable and wanted to leave quickly.

Ling Yun saw her standing there with her head lowered and felt she was like a mimosa. She scares easily and is very shy. Unconsciously, a smile appeared on his stern face, and he said gently, “By the way, my name is Ling Yun. What’s your name?”

She was startled by his sudden question and raised her head. “Huh? Oh, my name is Pan Meijia. Mei is as beautiful, Jia is as house.”

“Mhmm. It is indeed very beautiful.” Ling Yun looked at her intently and said with a smile.

Pan Meijia was confused, but she didn’t dare to ask him what his words meant. So, she looked around the ward and said awkwardly, “This room is not bad. The window faces east and you can get the morning sunshine.”

“Mhmm.” Ling Yun nodded in response.

Hearing his low hum, Pan Meijia wailed in her heart. Why is this man so stingy with his words? How could she continue the conversation when he ended the topic like this?

Ling Yun looked at her with amusement, but Pan Meijia was on pins and needles. Just when she was thinking about what to say so she could leave as soon as possible, she heard Ling Yun ask, “Will you come again tomorrow?”

“Eh? I’m not sure.” Pan Meijia said with a tilt head. She still had to learn how to plow fields and grow crops. She has been very busy recently.

“I can be discharged from the hospital tomorrow.” Ling Yun added.

She didn’t understand what he meant at first, but after thinking for a while, she finally understood. It turned out that he was worried about the hospital bill. Thinking of Xiao Li’s words, she understood that he had no money and might be embarrassed to borrow money from her again.

That’s why he said it in a roundabout way. Fortunately she understood what he meant. Otherwise, he would be embarrassed if he couldn’t leave the hospital tomorrow because of unpaid hospitalization fees. Now that she has decided to help him, she should help him to the end.
