Ji Lingfeng was in a terrible state.

Even though he had washed his face, shaved his beard, trimmed his hair, and changed into a vigorous suit, he looked too thin! His thin figure almost couldn’t support the suit. This was something Xie Yun had not thought of before coming.

Ji Lingfeng was like a terminally ill person on his final dying breath. Besides his eyes still as sharp as an eagle’s, his sickly state could not be disguised.

Ji Lingfeng nodded, seemingly having no intention of hiding it from her. “Yes.”

Xie Yun originally wanted to ask him if he thought about his biological son and if he had discussed it with him… but what came out of her mouth was, “What did Elder Zhong say? How long can you hold out for?”

Ji Lingfeng looked at her in surprise. “Huh?”

Xie Yun took a deep breath and tried not to sound stiff. “I saw that medicine on your desk the other day, so I called Elder Zhong and asked him what kind of medicine it was.”

Ji Lingfeng did not expect her to remember the medicine with just a glance. She even contacted Zhong Yiliu. For the first time, his handsome face revealed a stunned expression.

Xie Yun: “He told me everything.”

Ji Lingfeng didn’t know how to face her. He looked at her tiredly. “I didn’t want to tell you so you wouldn’t worry.”

Xie Yun wanted to laugh, but the corner of her mouth just twitched. Instead, she asked him, “How long can you last?”

“I don’t know.” Ji Lingfeng smiled. It was a relaxed and liberating smile that rarely appeared on his face. He looked at Xie Yun and said very relaxedly, “Maybe a few days, maybe 10 days, maybe tomorrow…”

Xie Yun suddenly felt as if a rock was pressing down on her chest. She clenched her fists and wished she could slap him, but she held back. “This is why you called these people here today!”

He was running out of time!

Therefore, he had to arrange everything before time ran out.

And everything he had arranged did not include his wife, whom he had lived with for decades, or his biological son.

Xie Yun felt she shouldn’t be angry because she knew from the beginning that they were connected by marriage and not because of feelings. She had been like this all these years.

But at this moment, she realized she was still not as open-minded as she imagined.

“Have you thought about Ji Nan?”

“I’m sorry.”

Xie Yun closed her eyes, pinched her palm, and looked at him again. “What’s the use of apologizing? If I had known this would happen, I wouldn’t have agreed to the family’s arrangements no matter what! I can ignore what my husband is like, but I can’t accept him not even caring about his son! You made up for what you owed Ji Qing in the past, but what about what you owe Ji Nan? What do you have to make up for it?!”

Ji Lingfeng faced her questioning silently. After a long time, he said, “I’ve already decided. I won’t change it.”

Xie Yun stared at him for a few seconds before sneering. Her wildly beating heart could not compare to her anger and resentment. “You’re always like this. That’s why I feel I’ve married the wrong person!”

They were linked by interests and benefits.

However, Ji Lingfeng did not mistreat her.

In the past few decades, they treated each other like guests and lived a more harmonious life than ordinary couples.

However, Xie Yun knew well that this harmony was just tacit cooperation. She had accepted this cooperation in the past, but now she regretted it.
