The two of them stood at the bathroom door in silence for a long time. They looked at each other in dismay. The longer they stood there, the uglier Xu Anran’s expression became. She couldn’t hold it in any longer. At this moment, Jiang Rongyan reached out and pushed the door open. “I’ll help you.”

Xu Anran couldn’t hold it in any longer either. She could only nod her head and stiffen up. She pulled a long face and went to the bathroom with Jiang Rongyan’s help. After that, Jiang Rongyan carried her back to the bed, she was so embarrassed that she hid under the blanket.

Jiang Rongyan was also a little embarrassed, so he did not continue talking to her. After lying down in silence for a while, Xu Anran did not have a phone to pass the time. She fell asleep unknowingly. When she woke up, Jiang Rongyan was no longer by her side. Instead, he was replaced by a nurse. The nurse sat by the bed and saw that she had woken up. She quickly asked, “Miss, what do you want to do? I’ll take you there.”

She shook her head. “I don’t need it for the time being. If there’s a need, I’ll call you. Sorry to trouble you.” It turned out that Jiang Rongyan had found a nurse for her. Could it be that he was not willing to take care of her in the hospital? She was a little depressed. She hid under the blanket with her back facing the nurse.

“Then you should rest well. Before Mr. Jiang left, he told me a lot of things. It’s really lucky to have such a man as a husband,” the nurse said enviously.

Xu Anran quickly turned around and asked her, “Really?” Xu Anran felt a surge of warmth flowing through her heart. Jiang Rongyan was not as cold as he looked on the outside. He was clearly a person who was cold on the outside but warm on the inside. The depressed mood from before was swept away. She sat up and leaned against the pillow to read to pass the time.

Not long after, she heard voices and pleas coming from outside the door. She could not help but look over. She saw Jiang Rongyan bringing a man over with a gloomy expression. The man’s face was bruised and swollen. Xu Anran had to distinguish for a long time before she recognized him as a colleague from her new company.

The moment the employee saw her, he immediately knelt by her bed, he cried and begged for her forgiveness. “Miss Xu, it was my fault. You are a magnanimous person. Please forgive me this time. I, I have already paid the price. I cannot design anymore in the future.”

Xu Anran lowered her head and looked at his hands. She saw that there were bandages wrapped around his wrists. No wonder he said that she could no longer design. Xu Anran was silent for a long while before she sighed. Hands were the most important thing to a designer. She knew how cruel it was for a designer to never be able to draw again.

Although this person was the one who caused her design to be stolen, this punishment was considered severe. “Forget it, you’ve also been punished. I can’t do anything to you anymore. I hope that you’ll be a good person in the future. Don’t use such underhanded methods anymore.”

This person cried his eyes out. He knelt down and kowtowed to Xu Anran. “Miss Xu, don’t worry. I’ll definitely be a good person in the future. I won’t do anything wrong again.”

Xu Anran glanced at Jiang Rongyan. Only then did Jiang Rongyan pull him up. “Get lost!”

The employee nodded, stood up hurriedly, and ran away. After he left, Jiang Rongyan took out a phone box and handed it to Xu Anran. “I bought you a new phone. See if you like it.”

Xu Anran took it and opened the box. She found that the phone was on. She opened the lock screen and a recording appeared. This recording was recorded by the man just now. He told her the whole process of stealing her design. Xu Anran clenched her fists when she heard it. She regretted letting that man leave just now.

“Are you done listening to it?” Jiang Rongyan asked. Xu Anran put away her phone and nodded. So calm? Jiang Rongyan raised his eyebrows and asked in a somewhat arrogant tone, “Now you should believe that this matter has nothing to do with me and will return my innocence, right?”

Xu Anran was a little embarrassed. She did not dare to look into his teasing eyes. “I’m sorry, okay?”

“Barely better.” Jiang Rongyan looked at her. “Don’t throw a tantrum at me so casually in the future. Scheming against you won’t benefit me at all. Don’t believe what others say. I’m your husband. Would I help others harm you?”

Husband? Xu Anran nodded in confusion. “Oh.”

But… She looked up at Jiang Rongyan.. Weren’t they a fake couple? Why did he do so much for her?
