Chapter 286 - He is not my guardian.

Though Wen Sying felt her heart getting washed with extreme bitterness on seeing all of a sudden change in his attitude, she did not let it show on her expressions. The air around her got filled with malice but the man was still living in oblivion.

"Didn't you say that this time you wouldn't be able to help me, Wenting? That helping me out with such things might risk your career", she replied to his words keeping all her expressions worried and upset. There was nothing else evident on face except the pitiful sight of her tearful eyes.

Zheng Wenting instantly got keyed up at her words. Laughing his nervousness out, he said quickly, shrugging it off, "Of course, what I said to you before was also true. Making any move of promoting you to other companies can risk my position in the market now. It could affect the goodwill of Zheng Enterprises"

He instantly showed the agreement to her words. He just could not prove his own words to be false. "But risking my name and career is fairly accepted rather than risking your integrity around. I can choose to lose everything but would never accept people raising fingers on your nobility. So better than going anywhere, just come to me. I will try my best to help you and Li Xue out, every time. After all, I have always seen you two as my responsibility".

Wen Sying's fingers clenched tight under the blanket, her nails dug deep into her delicate skin. But in her expression, there was nothing such. Only a countenance of gratefulness was plastered on her face.

"Oh Wenting, you care for me so much! Where could I find a man like you? I don't know whether I should cry for Li Xue that she lost you or should I cherish the good luck that brought you to me." She said, gritting her irritation internally.

Wenting frowned at her words. He never meant his words to bring the same old topic again. It always makes him remember Li Xue's betrayal.

"Sying, what are you saying? I never meant things like that. What Li Xue has done to me in the past, I could never forgive her for that and about finding you … it's not just you who is grateful but also me. Because you were the person that filled the void Li Xue has created in my heart. I would not have agreed to help Li Xue this willfully if you were not worried for her to this extent. It's not her but you, who actually matters to me!"

He said, cupping her cheeks from both sides and making his tone all sincere for the woman sitting in front of him.

Though Sying knew that his sincerity meant nothing more than words, she still said, "Thank you, Wenting, for looking after me like this. I am really lucky to have a man like you in my life!" Saying her words, she scooted forward to hug the man once again.

Without any say, she knew Li Xue was still in his mind. Whether it is for attraction, l.u.s.t or love … she could not be sure. But she knew for sure that unless and until she has her tricks to make the man remember the past betrayal from her, he won't be going back to her. And her tricks are something that's never going to end.

On the other side, in the hospital,

Feng Yi Lan was comfortably sitting on the bed, with her head inclined to the pillow and legs stretched straight. Dr Collin was examining everything in a better-detailed way and more like professionally. After what happened last day, he just could not bring himself to take a chance with this woman.

What if she again sets him up for death? No, he won't risk his life. It was still the most precious thing to him. He thought internally as he looked at the childish woman on the bed with side-eyes.

"Dr Collin, are you planning ways to poison my bone now? Why are you looking at me like that when I am sitting just in front of you? You can turn around and stare straight to my eyes. It won't cost you any fare"

Feng Yi Lan said, folding her arms upon her c.h.e.s.t. A small giggle was let out at the scene as the nurse accompanying the doctor was not able to hold it in. But that giggle was soon silenced when heard a low growl from the half English man.

"Sorry, Ms Feng I was not staring you but your condition. And for your extra knowledge let me tell you that bones cannot be poisoned. I was just thinking if you can take the exile from your usual naughtiness for six weeks or not. Seriously, I am holding a doubt in that now" He said, pursing his lips at her now. His expressions were clearly teasing her, aiming to bestow the punishment that was due from the last day.

"What do you mean? What six weeks are you talking about? Don't plan to trap me, you won't be able to take the coming consequences. I am telling you" Yi Lan pulled herself a little forward to warn the man out but then remained restrained, knowing that she was not in her best situation to pull out the stunts.

"Tsk … Tsk … can't explain! Children don't have so much brain to understand all this. Let's wait for Director Qi to come and I will explain everything to him", he said, leisurely turning around to look at the door.

"He is not the guardian that you need to tell him the things regarding me. Just tell me and I will understand. I am not a child to not understand the medical terms." She said but the doctor did not pay any heed to her words.

"Dr Collin, I said you don't have to wait for him to come. Not like he would be the one taking care of me in the coming days. I have grown up and now I could take care of myself". She said again but right at the time, the door was pushed open showing Qi Shuai at the other side. He has got some bags in his hand.

"Dr Collin, is everything fine?" he asked, carefully sauntering inside the room. His eyes are trying to read the situation from Yi Lan's expressions. She looked irked about something … more agitated.

Did something happen to irritate her again like this?
