Jiang Huai had just put down his phone when Yan Xia said, “President Jiang, the car is already downstairs. The driver will send you to the airport now.”

Jiang Huai sometimes admired Yan Xia’s work ability. She was able to gather useful information from a single phone call and make the most reasonable arrangements.

Jiang Huai nodded. “Come with me to the airport. I have some things to tell you on the way.”

Yan Xia nodded and followed behind Jiang Huai. She had been Jiang Huai’s secretary for three years and it had become a habit to follow him around.

The car was already waiting for them when they arrived downstairs.

Liu Yu was holding a band-aid and iodophor in her hands as she stood by the car waiting for the two of them.

Yan Xia took the items from Liu Yu and said, “Alright, you should go home and rest. I’ll take care of the things here.”

Liu Yu was touched. “Then I’ll have to trouble you, Sister Yan. Goodbye, Sister Yan!”

Jiang Huai sat in the back seat when they got into the car. After some thought, Yan Xia followed him.

Usually, when the two of them went out together, Yan Xia would sit in the front seat and report to Jiang Huai on the way. However, Jiang Huai’s hand was injured today and Yan Xia wanted to sit in the back to help him bandage it.

It was rare that Jiang Huai did not mock Yan Xia.

“Give me your hand.” It was an order. Yan Xia dipped a cotton swab in iodophor and spoke to Jiang Huai.

Jiang Huai was a little surprised. Yan Xia seemed different today. She never dared to speak to him in such a commanding tone before.

Jiang Huai still extended his hand.

The cold iodophor was applied to the wound, and the muscles of his hand naturally curled up slightly due to nerve reflex.

Seeing his curled fingers covering the wound, Yan Xia reached out to take his hand.

Yan Xia’s hand was small and soft, while Jiang Huai’s hand was slender and well-defined. They held each other’s hands and neither of them felt strange.

After the band-aid was put on, the driver suddenly stepped on the brake, and Yan Xia hit the front seat.

Jiang Huai’s sharp eyes caught her hand even more tightly, while his other hand shielded her between the seat and Yan Xia’s head.

Only then did Yan Xia realize that they were holding hands. She quickly sat up straight and pulled her hand away, saying in a panic, “Thank you.”

Jiang Huai ignored her. He held his empty hand and turned to look out the window. He didn’t say anything for a long time.

The atmosphere was a little ambiguous and Yan Xia felt her ears burning.

The two of them had clearly done more intimate things before, but it was not as heart-throbbing as holding hands at this moment.

Yan Xia recalled how he had protected her subconsciously just now and suddenly remembered many good things about him.

In the first three months of their marriage, which was one of the rare times that they didn’t quarrel, Jiang Huai had always been very considerate.

At first, Yan Xia would have nightmares at night. Every time she woke up in the middle of the night, the man next to her would hold her hand subconsciously, giving her an endless sense of security.

Even in the days to come, when all that was left between the two of them was hatred, Jiang Huai would still stay in the same room and bed with her.

He probably knew that she would have nightmares at night.

Yan Xia was touched and felt guilty about what happened that night.

When they were about to reach the airport, Jiang Huai spoke again. “Today’s matter might be a little troublesome. There were too many people at the scene, so it is inevitable that some people will take some photos. Zhang Ying hadn’t made an official debut yet, so there can’t be any negative news. You must deal with this matter as soon as possible.”

The name ‘Zhang Ying’ pulled Yan Xia back to reality.

As expected, Jiang Huai wasn’t worried about whether the Jiang Corporation would be affected by these videos. He was more worried about Zhang Ying.

Yan Xia thought about her thoughts and felt that she was overthinking.

Yan Xia scolded herself in her heart. How could she let his subconscious action break her long line of defense? She had to wake up!

After calming down, Yan Xia replied, “Don’t worry, President Jiang. I’ll let Zhang Rui follow Zhang Ying to protect her for the next few days. As for the video, Liu Yu, the Public Relations Department, and I have already destroyed it.”

Yan Xia fiddled with her phone and continued, “President Jiang’s travel time is a little tight this time, so you didn’t bring any luggage. I’ve already sent some necessities to the people who will be receiving them. They will be responsible for the preparations. President Jiang, do you have any other arrangements?”

Jiang Huai shook his head. Yan Xia had always thought of things more thoroughly than he did. He knew this when he recruited her into the company.

He had always trusted Yan Xia at work.
