After becoming rich overnight, I handed over the system.

Chapter 248 Illness

Xu Yue and her husband started another cold war. After three days, neither of them apologized to the other.

Xu Yue felt this wouldn't work; she still wanted to salvage the relationship and finally decided to go back tonight and reconcile with her husband.

Xu Yue arrived home early, prepared a large table of dishes, and ordered a small cake. Then she waited for her husband to come home.

Time passed slowly, but Xu Yue still didn't hear the door open.

As darkness gradually swallowed the light and the moon hung high in the sky, Xu Yue couldn't hold back any longer and called Qi Le.

The call was disconnected, and Xu Yue was at a loss for what to do.

Meanwhile, Qi Le said, "Brother Le, isn't it a bad idea for you to hang up on Sister Yue like that?"

"What's wrong with that? She'll probably just keep urging me to go home. Come on, don't you like that trendy cafe? Let's go check it out!"

"Yeah, I did all the research. I've had this coffee shop saved for ages! Thank you, Brother Le, for coming on this trip with me!"

"There's nothing to thank me for. I've been wanting to get away for a while now. Besides, we used to hang out together all the time, didn't we?" Qi Le said casually. After getting married, Xu Yue seemed like a different person, and he had been wanting to get away for a while.

"Okay! Let's go then!" Ren Huan happily took Qi Le's arm and together they enjoyed the night view of this unfamiliar city.

Xu Yue lost her appetite in the face of a table full of cold dishes. She silently blew out the candles on the small cake, then went back to her room and hid under the covers, shedding silent tears.

This reconciliation and surprise she thought she had experienced only seemed to have moved her. Her heart, like a candle that had been blown out, had grown cold.

In the days that followed, Xu Yue didn't call Qi Le again. She didn't want to know where he had gone, but she knew that Ren Huan was definitely with him.

When she came home from get off work that day, there were already sounds coming from inside the house.

"Xu Yue, look at the cup Huanhuan and I bought for you. It has a dolphin on it. You couldn't find your cup last time, so this is perfect for you!" Qi Le couldn't help but feel a little guilty as he watched Xu Yue enter the room.

After all, he had left his newlywed wife to travel with his friends, so Qi Le quickly grabbed a cup in an attempt to cheer Xu Yue up.

"Yeah, Yue-jie, look at the little dolphin on this cup, it's the plush toy that Le-ge bought for me. They gave the cup away with the plush toy, so it was a perfect deal for both of us!"

Xu Yue took the cup from Qi Le's hand. Although she had prepared herself, she was still heartbroken.

Qi Le left Ren Huan behind to go on a trip, and the gift she brought back for her was a freebie—a gift that was given away when she bought a present for Ren Huan.

What does she mean to Qi Le? Is their relationship fake?

When Qi Le saw Xu Yue take the cup, he thought he had passed the test and continued to pack the things he and Ren Huan had brought back together.

Each time they unpacked an item, the two would discuss the scene surrounding it.

Xu Yue stared coldly at the two of them. Perhaps she was really wrong. She put down the cup, turned around, and went back to her room.

"Honey, why haven't you cooked yet? The food outside hasn't been good these past few days, and I've been missing your cooking!" Qi Le came over and acted coquettishly, even reaching out to hug her.

Unfortunately, Xu Yue wasn't in the mood. She reached out and pushed Qi Le away, saying, "I've been eating by myself these past few days while you guys were out having fun. You guys should eat by yourselves too. I don't want to cook."

"Honey, are you angry that I went out to play? I didn't mean to leave you out. Huanhuan was talking about a spontaneous trip, but we were both too rushed," Qi Le tried to explain.

In fact, when the two were having a cold war, he never thought of Xu Yue.

"Since you two can travel together, you must be able to eat out together too, right?" Xu Yue was no longer willing to listen to any explanations.

"Honey, Huanhuan and I really don't have anything going on. Don't be angry anymore. I really want to eat your cooking."

Unfortunately, no matter what Qi Le said, Xu Yue wouldn't budge.

"Fine, I gave you a way out but you won't take it, so let's leave it at that." Qi Le was also angry.

"Huanhuan, come on, let's go out to eat!"

"Oh, going out to eat again? Where's Yue-jie? Want to come along?"

"They don't care about us, let's go eat by ourselves!"

Hearing the door close, Xu Yue's heart was still stirred. She told herself not to be sad, but she couldn't help it.

As for the "stepping stone," if the other party offered her a way out by asking her to cook for the two of them when they returned from their trip, Xu Yue felt she could do without it.

Forget it, so be it.

That night, Xu Yue fell asleep with tears in her eyes again. She didn't know when Qi Le and Ren Huan returned.

After that, life seemed to return to what it was before, but with some differences.

Qi Le and Ren Huan were still teasing and joking with each other as before. No, things were different now. Ren Huan was now openly lying on Qi Le's lap, and Qi Le didn't notice anything amiss.

Xu Yue saw it, but she wasn't as angry as before.

When Xu Yue woke up that day, she felt something was wrong. She was burning up and had no strength. She thought she had a fever.

She wanted to call Qi Le to bring her a glass of water; her lips were peeling from the fever, and she was so dizzy that she couldn't get up.

She called out to Qi Le, but no one responded.

She was afraid her voice was too soft, so she called Qi Le again, but the call ended quickly.

She could clearly hear Qi Le and Ren Huan playing games in the living room, but no one responded to her.

Xu Yue felt like crying again. She gritted her teeth and forced herself to get out of bed.

I slowly walked to the living room, leaning against the wall, and saw Qi Le and Ren Huan wearing headphones and playing games with great concentration.

Seeing Xu Yue's weak appearance, Ren Huan's eyes flashed with surprise before returning to normal.

Qi Le simply glanced up and said, "Ignore her, we're in the middle of a crucial game."

At that moment, Xu Yue's heart turned completely cold.

She finished her water and silently went back to her room. Then she came out, walked to the door, changed her shoes, grabbed her bag, opened the door, and left.

Qi Le and Ren Huan were so engrossed in the game that they were completely unaware of what was happening.

Xu Yue went to the hospital by herself, and the doctor scolded her.

"You have such a high fever, why did it take you so long to come to the hospital! If you keep this high fever, you might become mentally impaired!"

Then I quickly started her on an IV drip; this patient was being incredibly irresponsible with herself.

How to put it? Xu Yue's husband was clearly at home, but he ignored her being sick and played games with his childhood sweetheart instead of even pouring her a glass of water.

How cold-hearted! Xu Yue couldn't understand why she had chosen such a person in the first place.

Why did she think Qi Le was so good in the first place? Why did she keep putting herself through this? Xu Yue didn't understand.

However, she made a decision.
