After my divorce, I started to have good luck

Cao Jun listened and felt an inexplicable sense of satisfaction in his heart. His intestine rupture this time was all because of Yuan Hua's bump, but of course, he knew it wasn't Yuan Hua's fault but rather the fault of the person who crashed into them.

However, he still felt a bit annoyed with Yuan Hua, and now hearing that Yuan Hua also needed some rest, he felt balanced instantly.

Otherwise, why should I be in surgery and hospitalized while you remain completely fine?

"Have those two guys who beat us been found?" Cao Jun asked with some concern. This time he and Yuan Hua were unlucky, and Yuan Hua was particularly humiliated and beaten by the other party. The most important thing was that his surgery for the intestine rupture cost quite a bit of money, and seeking reimbursement from Yuan Hua wasn't realistic; he could only find those two guys who beat them.

In this matter, Cao Jun was still very understanding because he treated Yuan Hua as a dear brother.

Cao Li said dejectedly, "Last night we watched the surveillance video for a long time but couldn't find those two people. They were very cunning; in the surveillance video, there were practically no shots showing them from the front. Now, we're not sure if we can find them."

Cao Jun frowned and said, "Is it still hard to find them with surveillance? Those internal monitors in the restaurant didn't show their faces, but what about the monitors outside? They definitely wouldn't avoid showing their faces outside, and even if they did, it doesn't matter. As long as we check what car they drove and the license plate number, we can find them. Yuan Hua, you saw them with your own eyes, so as long as you remember their appearance, it shouldn't be hard to find them."

"Yeah! Why didn't I think of that?" The previously dispirited Yuan Hua suddenly cried out excitedly, "I'll go to the police station right now."

After saying this, he dashed out of the ward, not waiting for Cao Li.

Cao Li called him twice, but he didn't stop.

Once Yuan Hua left, only Cao Jun and her were left in the ward.

This was originally a double-occupancy ward, but the other bed was empty. The caregiver they hired previously was sent by Cao Jun to buy daily necessities and food.

"Lily, are you happy with him now?"

While speaking, Cao Jun reached over and held Cao Li's hand.

Cao Li's body stiffened, and she nervously looked towards the door. Seeing nobody, she relaxed, tried to pull back but couldn't immediately, as Cao Jun, despite having just undergone surgery, had quite a strong grip.

"Let go, what are you doing?" Cao Li angrily whispered with a touch of discontent.

Cao Jun merely smiled, pulled her hand to kiss the back before releasing her.

"Lily, I've never forgotten you all these years." Cao Jun looked at her with a deep expression of affection.

"You're full of it! Do you really think I'm still as naive as I used to be?" Cao Li glared at him, not satisfied.

Back then, the two of them secretly played around behind Yuan Hua's back for quite a few years.

After Cao Li gave an ultimatum several times, even aborting a child for him once, she totally lost hope. She returned to their hometown with Yuan Hua to get married, work, and lead a stable life, wanting to be a good wife and mother.

Sadly, after being married for four to five years with two pregnancies, neither of them were kept. Both were now thirty years old but still without a child.

This was a thorn in the heart of both her and Yuan Hua.

"Alas, back then I had no choice. I was at a critical period in my career, so I had to set aside my feelings for a while. Besides, Yuan Hua is my best friend, how could I reveal our affair? This way, at least Yuan Hua hasn't suffered the dual betrayal in love and friendship."

"You're just a selfish bastard." Cao Li cursed softly. She had used the child in her belly as leverage to force him to publicly acknowledge her, wanting to stop sneaking around.

In return, Cao Jun suggested "getting rid of the child," saying Yuan Hua couldn't be hurt, when in reality, he feared Yuan Hua would retaliate fiercely and even cause trouble for his company, especially since it was just starting to ascend.

Simply put, Cao Jun was a selfish emotional cheater, deceiving her feelings.

In truth, she wasn't a good woman either. Back then, Cao Jun merely had to flaunt his promising future and high salary to win her over.

They both were unprincipled, with low moral standards.

"Alright, I'm scum." Cao Jun shook his head with a bitter smile, "In any case, I let you down back then, and it's my fault. But I've been trying to make it up over the years. Last year, when you asked me to lend you money, I lent you two hundred thousand without hesitation. Can you say I don't have feelings for you?"

Cao Li was speechless; she hadn't considered repaying that money after borrowing it.

"Enough of this, it's good as long as you're happy now. But, alas, I worry about Yuan Hua, whether he'll be able to take good care of you in the future."

Yuan Hua, after suffering setbacks last night, had lost his spirit and was dispirited, unlike Cao Jun.

He had surgery last night, and by early morning, was already thinking of handling company affairs, securing his position as vice president. He was full of ambition.

"Thank you for your concern, but I don't need any special care from you now. Don't have any designs on me anymore."

Cao Li looked at him cautiously.

Cao Jun said bitterly, "I'm like this now. How could I have any designs on you?"

As he spoke, he pointed to his bandaged abdomen.

Cao Li softened a bit, asking with concern, "Does it still hurt now?"

"Of course it hurts. But I'm enduring it. I hope to be discharged soon, but unfortunately, I might not get my wish."

"You're in this state, why rush to leave the hospital?"

"You don't understand. Many are eyeing my vice president position at the company. If I don't return soon, I could lose it."

"Oh, your job is really challenging."

Cao Li looked at him sympathetically. Cao Jun was still the man she truly loved, which inadvertently showed in her genuine concern.

Cao Jun took the opportunity to grab her hand again. This time Cao Li didn't resist, and hesitated only for a moment before allowing it.

Seeing this delighted Cao Jun. He had missed the touch, and though his circumstances limited him now, he savored the moment.

Cao Jun lightly pulled her to sit at the bed's edge, then wrapped an arm around her waist.

Cao Li's waist was slender, his favorite.

"Lily, you're still keeping such a great figure."

Cao Jun whispered this near her ear.

Cao Li, a bit shy, turned her head just as someone rushed in from outside.

It was Yuan Hua, who had just returned for his phone.
