Wen Qing sounded very calm when she said that.

Her memories meant a lot to her, but certain things were not worth remembering. What happened between Shang Ke and her was in the past now, and it had no bearing on the present.

At this moment, Shang Li asked Wen Qing, “How can you be so sure that the person who carried you up and down for a month was Shang Ke?”

Wen Qing was stunned to hear this question!

“What do you mean?” she looked at Shang Li in shock.

Shang Li touched her forehead, and her gaze strayed. “I’m just saying.”

“Shang Li, there’s some sort of hidden meaning in your words, isn’t there?” Wen Qing pulled Shang Li’s hand away from her face. “We weren’t treated in the same hospital. When you saw me after I had recovered, I didn’t mention it to you because Shang Ke had already left.”

The more she spoke, the more confused Wen Qing became.

At that time, she could not see, and she had a broken leg. She could only rely on her hearing to distinguish people. Shang Ke was obviously the one who was with her.

Shang Li saw that Wen Qing’s brows were furrowed. She regretted bringing it up. In fact, she was not sure if her theory was right. Although she was fairly sure, she could not say such things without presenting evidence.

She grabbed Wen Qing’s wrist and stepped closer to her. “Alright, stop thinking about it. We’re here to have fun tonight. Why are you making yourself so sad?”

Wen Qing pulled her hand back a little. She pinched Shang Li’s arm and said, “This is your fault. Now, I’m overthinking it. How could I not when you said something like that out of the blue?”

“I didn’t mean anything by it.”Shang Li rubbed the spot on her arm where Wen Qing had pinched her. She raised her hand and said, “I won’t say anything next time. I’ll let you figure it out yourself.”

Wen Qing felt conflicted. After thinking about it carefully, she felt that Shang Li was right about something. She had been blind for over a month during her recovery. She believed that it was Shang Ke because she was sure that she recognized his voice. However, what if that person was not Shang Ke?

The more she thought about it, the more impatient she became.

…

When Wen Qing and Shang Li rejoined the crowd, there were more people around Shang Ke. They were probably his friends.

The woman who had been whispering to him was still beside him. When Wen Qing got closer, she realized that they seemed very close. However, that was it. From beginning to end, the woman kept her distance from him. She did not even brush against Shang Ke’s clothes.

Wen Qing walked past Shang Ke. She did not intend to greet him, but Li Yunce called out to her. “Sister-in-law.”

Wen Qing paused. She was tempted to pretend that she did not hear him, and just take off. But, by then, Li Yunce was already in front of her. “Sister-in-law, it’s really you. You didn’t respond when I called you. I almost thought that you were someone else.”

Li Yunce was Shang Ke’s good friend. Whenever Shang Ke was free, they would hang out together.

Hearing Li Yunce call her sister-in-law so affectionately made Wen Qing’s expression turn cold. “Don’t call me that. I’m not your sister-in-law.”

A bright smile appeared on Li Yunce’s face. “Alright then. What about Sister Qing?”

Wen Qing nodded.

Li Yunce noticed Shang Li standing beside her. He greeted her sweetly. “Shang Li, I haven’t seen you in a while. You look even more beautiful. Shang Li, it’s illegal to be this beautiful, you know? Come on. I’ll get my seven or eight aunts to support you.”

Shang Li laughed in embarrassment. Then, she lowered her voice and whispered into Wen Qing’s ear, “As expected, my brother is the most popular person here, and he’s so good at flirting. Just look at Shang Ke. He’s like my brother, but I’m invisible to him. We’re practically strangers.”

At this moment, Shang Ke approached them, and said in a cold tone, “You saw me and pretended like you didn’t see me. You’re trying to get back at me. Shang Li, you’re getting better and better.”

Shang Ke’s tone sounded a little familiar to Wen Qing.
