Jiang Jing shook her head when she heard Su Muzhi blaming himself in such a guilty tone, "Brother, this had nothing to do with you. I married Fu Jinrong not only because I wanted you to be better treated, but also saved the Jiang Corporation, which was actually the most important reason."

Su Muzhi didn't believe Jiang Jing's explanation, "You haven't been interested in business for a long time. Although you have a talent for it, you've always wanted to live a simple life. How could you let saving the Jiang Corporation be the main reason?"

"As you said, brother, I really don't like the business place that fills with intrigues. But the Jiang Corporation is the painstaking effort of the three generations of our family. I can't let it finish in my hands." Jiang Jing's eyes were full of determination.

Seeing that Jiang Jing was so persistent, Su Muzhi could only nod. He moved his right hand to Jiang Jing's and slowly covered it with his palm.

"Well, okay, Jing, then go ahead and do it. I like this confident you. I really look forward to seeing you shine in the corporation." Although Su Muzhi's face was pale, his white skin made his dark eyes much more like a mysterious black hole.

Jiang Jing nodded. Her hand held by Su was a little warm, which made her feel a little uncomfortable. She broke away from Su Muzhi's hand a little harder.

Su Muzhi noticed Jiang Jing's action and his heart sank. Jiang Jing also realized that her behavior just now would embarrass Su Muzhi, which was quite inappropriate.

But she also realized in her heart that she and brother Muzhi were adults and could no longer be as close as when she was a child. Moreover, now that she had her own family, Jiang Jing did not feel that she had done anything wrong.

To ease the awkwardness in the ward, Jiang Jing quickly moved her hand away, then took an apple from the fruit basket on the bedside table. She found a knife in the drawer, and smiled sweetly at Su Muzhi, "Brother, let me peel it for you."

Su Muzhi knew what Jiang Jing meant, and although he felt a little disappointed, he hid it. He nodded and smiled with his white teeth revealing, "Okay, then please, sister."

Jiang Jing peeled the apple and said, "Brother, do you remember when we were kids, we used to compete to peel the apple? I always broke the peel, and you always made a whole one. At that time, I really admired you."

Su Muzhi recalled the scene that happened in their childhood in Jiang Jing's voice and felt warm in his heart. In fact, he had always hoped that time could stop and that they could always be as good as when they were a child.

"Jing, are you happy?" Somehow, Su Muzhi spoke out what's on his mind.

"What?" Jiang Jing was obviously confused by Su Muzhi's question.

"I said, Jing, how have you been these days? How is he treating you?" Su Muzhi asked again, but he never wanted to mention the name Fu Jinrong.

Jiang Jing stopped peeling the apple. She did not head up but quietly looked at the apple in her hand. Su Muzhi's question also made her ask herself in her heart: Jiang Jing, are you happy now?

Jiang Jing thought of Fu Jinrong's care for her. Although she always looked like she despised him, and he would also have an arrogant temper occasionally, Jiang Jing could still feel his true love for her.

Jiang Jing thought about it and slightly nodded. Then she continued peeling the apple and said, "Yes, really. Although a lot of things have happened to me during this period, no one embarrasses me or scorns me. He treats me very well."

"Are you sure?" Although Su Muzhi was glad to hear that Jiang Jing was happy, the source of this unexpected happiness was Fu Jinrong, which made Su Muzhi frown. He did not want and he was unwilling to admit it.

Jiang Jing didn't know why Su Muzhi asked this, but she nodded and looked at Su Muzhi, "I'm sure, really."

Fu Jinrong, who had left the hospital to buy coffee, was returning with the coffee in his hand. To be honest, he had no good feelings for this Su Muzhi. He felt Su Muzhi's strong possessiveness towards Jiang Jing with a man's intuition.

But this Su Muzhi is obviously Jiang Jing's cousin by blood, so Fu Jinrong felt very strange about him.

He didn't want to waste his brain cells to think about it. Fu Jinrong took out the phone and called his secretary, "Secretary Li, help me find a man named Su Muzhi. Yes, he's my wife's cousin. Please check his information for me and give it to me as soon as possible."

The secretary on the other end of the phone heard Fu Jinrong's order and immediately replied, "Okay, I got it, Boss Fu. I'll give you the information as soon as possible."

Fu Jinrong was about to hang up the phone when something occurred to him. He then said to the other end of the phone, "By the way, don't let the third person know about this."

"Okay, Boss Fu."

After hanging up the phone, Fu Jinrong continued carrying the coffee to the ward. When he reached Su Muzhi's ward, he raised his hand and gently knocked on the door three times. It's the least bit polite.

"Please come in." After hearing Su Muzhi's voice, Fu Jinrong opened the door and saw Jiang Jing sitting there peeling an apple. The apple peel was very long.

Hearing Fu Jinrong's footsteps, Jiang Jing looked up and smiled at Fu Jinrong, "You're back."

Fu Jinrong felt this scene was like a wife was waiting for her husband who came home late. If Su Muzhi was not in front of him, he thought he would give Jiang Jing a big hug.

"Yes, I bought you a Macchiato." Fu Jinrong handed the coffee to Jiang Jing.

"Jing drinks only Americano. She doesn't drink Macchiato." At this moment, Su Muzhi in the bed made an unexpected sound.

Jiang Jing felt that Su Muzhi's words were very inappropriate and impolite. In her mind, her elder brother Muzhi had always been gentle and polite. She had never seen him in such.

Jiang Jing wanted to say that she also drank macchiato to ease Fu Jinrong's embarrassment, but Fu Jinrong said unexpectedly, "Americano is too bitter. Jing should drink something sweet today."

"Yes, I should drink something sweet today to ease the bitterness in my heart." Jiang Jing looked at the Macchiato in her hand. For some reason, she felt that as if her heart also filled up with the Macchiato's sweetness.

Jiang Jing turned to Su Muzhi, who was lying in the bed, and said, "Brother Muzhi, actually, Macchiato is also delicious. I like it very much as well."
