After giving their statements to the police, Chen Hao was taken to the station. As there are many spectators, everyone around had testified that it was Chen Hao who threatened to hurt Li Qin Yao. She only acted to protect herself.
As her ȧssistant, Liang Sheng then followed the police to the station to ȧssist with the investigation.
Zhang Yu Han gave a call to Wei Jun Hao to brief him on the situation before he walked over to his Cayenne. When he arrived, his wife, Li Qin Yao was sitting in the passenger seat with Xiao Lian Yi beside her.
Xiao Lian Yi nodded when she saw him heading towards them and left tacitly.
"Are you alright?" Zhang Yu Han asked. He uncapped the drinking bottle and handed it over to his wife.
Li Qin Yao took a few sips and lifted her head to meet Zhang Yu Han's gaze. "I'm alright." She then lowered her head again as he recalled what she had done earlier to Chen Hao.
Suddenly, Li Qin Yao had the urge to dig the ground and bury herself in it. She was embarrassed by how she had acted. How did she have the ability to beat Chen Hao to that extend?
When the police took Chen Hao to their patrol car, Li Qin Yao could see the black and blue bruises all over his body.
As the thought came to her mind, Li Qin Yao put the bottle of water aside and covered her face with both hands.
Zhang Yu Han let out a chuckle as he guessed at what was in his wife's mind. He peeled away her hands from her face and placed a kiss on her forehead. "There's no need to be embarrassed."
But hearing his words and voice only made her more embarrassed. Li Qin Yao was worried that Zhang Yu Han would think that he had married a hooligan.
"I'm proud that you can protect yourself well. I didn't know that you can fight someone like that," Zhang Yu Han said. His voice softened as he spoke to his wife.
Li Qin Yao lowered her head again. "When I started following my father to the construction site, my father sent me to some self-defense class. He was afraid that someone might bully me as I am a girl."
"My father-in-law is a wise man," Zhang Yu Han said. He lifted his hand to pat his wife on her head. "Sorry. I should have protected you well."
"It was not your fault," LI Qin Yao put her hand on Zhang Yu Han's. "None of us knew that Chen Hao was going to act crazily like that."
Zhang Yu Han heaved a long sigh. He placed another kiss on his wife's forehead and gazed at her face for a while. He was scared when he saw the way Chen Hao had grabbed his wife and threatened to harm her.
His heart thumped loudly in his ribcage and Zhang Yu Han felt as if his blood was drained away from his body. Zhang Yu Han was anxious at the thought that something might happen to his wife.
It was a feeling that he never want to experience ever again.
"Zhang Yu Han, let's go back to our home, alright?"
Initially, she was planning to enjoy supper with her husband somewhere. But after what had happened with Chen Hao, she no longer had any appetite and decided to went home instead.
Zhang Yu Han nodded. He helped to close the door for Li Qin Yao before he went over to the driver's side.
After half an hour's drive, the two of them finally arrived around their apartment in Y City.
However, as she stepped out of the Cayenne, Li Qin Yao noticed that something was not right. She noticed that her right ankle was hurting. When Zhang Yu Han walked over, Li Qin Yao quickly covered her legs with her long skirts. Linking her hands with her husband, Li Qin Yao used his body as support as the two went into the apartment.
"What happened?"
Li Qin Yao lifted her head and saw Zhang Yu Han's angry expression. She tried to cover the injury but he had grabbed her wrist to stop her movement. Li Qin Yao swallowed the words she initially wanted to say and looked at him cautiously. "It was probably sprained when Chen Hao pulled me away."
Zhang Yu Han's face turned a few shades darker. Since the sprained happened when Chen Hao had pulled her away, then, doesn't that mean that his wife has been bearing the pain for too long?
Kneeling beside her, Zhang Yu Han lifted her feet and put it on his knee to examine the condition. He touched at her swollen ankle and frowned. "Does it hurt?"
At his touch, Li Qin Yao felt a jolt of pain struck at her ankle. But at the fear that she might get scolded for keeping quiet for too long, Li Qin Yao pouted in her attempt to pull a cute face and hope that her husband will be lenient to her. "It hurts. Zhang Yu Han, please be gentle with me."
Her cute face did not work to soothe his anger at this time.
If he knew that she was in pain, he would have brought her over to the hospital instead of heading home.
"And you still dare to beat Chen Hao with your ankle swollen like this," he scolded.
Li Qin Yao shrunk her neck when their gaze met.
Seeing her pitiable look, Zhang Yu Han could only let out a sigh. He put her foot carefully on the sofa and walked into the kitchen to grab a bag of ice and helped to apply the bag of ice to her ankle.
"Hold this," Zhang Yu Han said. He let Li Qin Yao hold the bag of ice before he pulled out his phone to give a call to Qi Zheng. Once he had listened to Qi Zheng's instruction well, Zhang Yu Han went to her side and continued to help her to press the ice bag on her swollen ankle.
Perhaps because he was experienced in treating his injury after sport in the past, Zhang Yu Han knew very well how to help giving treatment to her swollen ankle. But as he looked at the swelling, Zhang Yu Han was very unhappy.
"Qin Yao, I only hope that you can look after yourself better," Zhang Yu Han said. "Please don't hide this kind of thing from me, alright?"
"Un." She could only nod her head meekly. "It wasn't intentional. I only realized that my ankle was swollen just now."
Zhang Yu Han let out another sigh. He stood up and hoped at her nose. "Next time, please don't get hurt."
