Once Upon A One Night Stand

When she woke up the next day, the man around her was no longer there. Shu Tian had hardly slept soundly from the middle of the night to dawn, and she even heard the door close slightly when Li Han left. She did not forget what happened yesterday, including she had injured Tang Zechen.

She sat up slightly from the bed, her aching body reminding her of how intensely they had sex last night. Her clothes were scattered all over the floor. Shu Tian lowered her eyes, with lights blinking in them. He facial features conveyed she slightly felt a sense of loss.

She took her cell phone, found that there were countless missed calls and text messages. She still had to face what she didn't want to face, and everything had to be solved.

Shu Tian found Ye Lihua's missed call and called her back, and as expected, it was in a mess as the call was put through.

"Tian, where are you now? You haven't answered the phone all night. Your father and I are worried to death!"

Shu Tian raised her hand and pinched her eyebrows, "Mom, I'm fine."

Ye Lihua lowered her voice and asked, "Did you cause Zechen's injury?"

"Yes."

"You..." Ye Lihua froze, "You're confused!"

"Mom, where are you now? I'll go over."

"Your father, I, and the people of Tang Family are at the First People's Hospital. When you arrive, call me and I'll pick you up."

Forty minutes later, Shu Tian took a taxi to the First People's Hospital. Ye Lihua came downstairs early to pick her up. They went upstairs together. As soon as they got out of the elevator door, they met Liu Lifang who was waiting for them intentionally.

The well-maintained face instantly twisted and looked at her fiercely.

"Shu Tian, you've caused my son so much trouble. How dare you to come?!" Her voice was so sharp that it nearly could pierce others' eardrums.

"Is he awake?" Shu Tian's face was calm. Before she came, she had already imagined everything that would happen, including Liu Lifang's loss of control.

"No!" Tang Guofeng pointed at her face rudely, "If something happens to my son, you can't get away with it!"

Shu Tian didn't say anything. She walked to the bench in the corridor and sat down. When she heard that Tang Zechen was not awake, her face turned pale, "Don't worry, I'm not trying to pass the buck." Ye Lihua and Shu Changlei felt bad looking at her like this, but no matter how much they complained, they could not say it now.

A human's life was of greater value than everything, and now everything depended on whether Tang Zechen could wake up. All were easy to negotiate if he could wake up.

Almost an hour later, the nurse came out from the ICU and said that the patient was awake.

Liu Lifang cried and went into the ward. She walked to the bed and looked at Tang Zechen, whose head was covered in gauze. Her tears fell even more. Shu Changlei felt a little bad when he saw this. The situation was much more serious than they had imagined.

"Zechen, how do you feel now?" Tang Guofeng leaned over and changed his usual image as a stern father, being very concerned.

"I'm fine." Tang Zechen's voice was hoarse. His gaze swept over one by one and finally stayed at Shu Tian. Malice quickly gathered in his eyes, "Oh, Shu Tian, how dare you to come?"

Shu Tian walked closer and asked the doctor next to her. Knowing that he was fine, it was such a weight off her mind, "Tang Zechen, let's talk alone."

"What are you going to talk about? Do you still want to hurt my son?!" Liu Lifang gave Shu Tian a hard push.

Shu Tian staggered and almost fell. Shu Changlei held her up, "Mother of my son-in-law, talk to me. Calm down, please. It should be expressed by words rather than by fights."

"Fights? Look at what she's done to my son! How dare you tell me not to hit her? When the parents behave wrongly, the offsprings will do the same. It was because you didn't teach your daughter well!" Hearing this, Shu Tian frowned, "I did something wrong indeed and you can vent your anger at me. It has nothing to do with my parents."

It didn't matter what Liu Lifang said about her, but Shu Changlei and Ye Lihua shouldn't have suffered that with her.

"You..."

"Mom, stop talking." Tang Zechen suddenly interrupted her and looked at Shu Tian, "Let's talk alone."

"No! You're lying on the bed now. What if she has any more bad intentions towards you?"

"Mom!" Tang Zechen emphasized. "You're all here. She doesn't dare to. Don't worry."

In the end, Liu Lifang still was unable to dissuade Tang Zechen.

Everyone withdrew, leaving only Shu Tian and him in the ward. Shu Tian looked at the man's forehead tightly bandaged and walked to the end of the bed to stand still, "Tang Zechen, why would I have liked you before?"

Tang Zechen didn't expect that her first words were not to care about him but to accuse him. His eyes darkened, "Why did you ask that, do you regret it?"

"I regret it." Shu Tian didn't hesitate for a second, "I regret knowing you, I regret liking you, and I regret marrying you despite the opposition of many people."

If time could go back, she would rather she had never known this person.

There was no love left. Jiang Mengyao was like the last piece of cloth covering the scandal between them. When the cloth was torn off, the ugliest looks of each other were revealed. In this relationship, he acted badly, and her behavior was not proper.

Obviously, Tang Zechen didn't expect her to say this. He was even a little surprised and just stared blankly at her and forgot to react.

He had never seen Shu Tian like this before. Her eyes, which had always been filled with love, now looked at him with endless indifference.

After a while, Tang Zechen came back to his senses. He looked at the back of his hand, which was still being put on a drip, "You want a divorce? You held something to hurt me. Do you think you can escape unscathed?"

Shu Tian narrowed her eyes, "What do you mean?"

"If you give up on the divorce, I will pretend that this didn't happen. If you insist on the divorce, I will sue you for intentional assault." Tang Zechen saw the tremor in her eyes and added again, "Shu Tian, think about your parents. Do you think it's worth giving up everything to divorce me?"

Shu Tian clenched her fists with her hands hanging by her side, "I promise you to leave without taking any property after divorce, okay?"

"No." Tang Zechen raised his eyebrows and looked at her, "I regret it. I'm not going to divorce."

Shu Tian was stunned and chuckled, "You don't love me. Why do you do that?"

Compared to they tortured each other, and drifted away for the rest of their lives, it was better to break up and never see each other again.

"Are you in a hurry to leave me so that you can have fun with your adulterer?" Tang Zechen's eyes turned cold, "Even if I can't get you, I won't let anyone else get you!"

Shu Tian gritted her teeth in hatred, "You're a lunatic!"

Tang Zechen laughed horribly, "It's a pity you fell into my hands."

Shu Tian looked at the man on the bed, and the only worry she had left was dissipated by his few words. How could a person do this?

"There's no regret medicine in this world. You should have thought of this when you hit me on the head." Tang Zechen pointed at his head as he spoke.

Shu Tian's eyes turned cold, "If I knew it would be this result, I would kill you."

"Then let's torture each other to death and see who breaks down first."

When views were irreconcilable, it was a waste of breath to continue the discussion. Shu Tian didn't want to look at him again and walked straight out of the ward.

In the corridor, everyone was waiting. When she came out, Liu Lifang glared at her vigilantly and hurried into the ward, afraid that Tang Zechen would be hurt by Shu Tian if she was a step late. Shu Changlei walked over with a tired face, "How was your conversation?"

Shu Tian suppressed the emotion in her eyes, "It's okay, mom and dad. You guys go back first. I'll deal with it myself."

Ye Lihua looked anxious, "How can you solve it by yourself? If you are alone, you even don't have a single person to discuss."

Shu Tian sighed, "He doesn't want a divorce, so I have to wait."

"Tian, you're a smart kid. Why are you so confused at the critical moment? No matter what, you can't solve it with fights!" Ye Lihua was on the verge of tears, and she was obviously frightened.

Shu Tian couldn't say that Tang Zechen wanted to rape her, so she could only calm her mother down, "I know, mom. Don't worry. I can handle that."

In the ward, Tang Zechen took out his phone to edit a text message while perfunctorily answering Liu Lifang's questions. The text message wrote, "Check Shu Tian's recent whereabouts, including who she is in contact with, and contact me as soon as possible if you find something."
