"If you had truly set your heart on the company, you wouldn't have done such a thing with Xia Anqi to affect its reputation. "No matter how important the company's business is, it's not as important as Weiwei. It won't take much time."
Old Man Xiao advised Xiao Yihan emotionally, then suddenly lowered his voice and released all of his aura, "You're not allowed to go anywhere tonight. Accompany Weiwei well!"
Jian Wei was a little anxious when she heard this and hurriedly lifted her hand to try to persuade Old Man Xiao. She had completely forgotten that her hand was still in Old Man Xiao's hands and that she had cooked in the afternoon, her heart had cut into her fingers, and just like that, not only did she pinch them, she even exposed a finger that was missing a piece of flesh.
"What happened to Weiwei?" Old Man Xiao still wanted to say something, but when he heard Jian Wei's soft cry, he immediately turned his head to look at the finger that was being held by Jian Wei.
"Ah, nothing, nothing. "I mean, Yi Han has to go home every night. It's more important that he does business, so he'll naturally come back when he's done." Jian Wei hurriedly retracted her finger, and smiled towards the Xiao family's old patriarch, revealing his white teeth.
Old Man Xiao didn't reply. He went behind Jian Wei without any explanation, grabbed Jian Wei's wrist, and placed her injured fingers on his rough big hand.
"Grandfather, it's really alright." Jian Wei still wanted to struggle free of her hand, but when she saw those pained eyes, her heart melted. She stood there silently and looked at Old Man Xiao.
When Xiao Yihan saw that his jade-white fingers had lost a piece of flesh, the space between his eyebrows unconsciously knitted together. In his mind, he thought about how Jian Wei had cooked this afternoon, and how he had swallowed all of the words that he wanted to say back into his stomach.
"Such a big wound, did you get a tetanus shot or something? Why don't you go to the hospital and have a look?" Old Man Xiao caressed Jian Wei's hand, not daring to look at the wound.
"There's no need for that. It'll be fine if it doesn't even take three days." Without waiting for Jian Wei to speak, Xiao Yihan was the first to speak, and when he realised what he was saying, he could not help but want to grind his teeth to smithereens.
"That's right, that's right. The medicine has been applied as well. The needle has been injected, and the hospital has also gone to take a look." My injuries healed really quickly. They will definitely heal in less than three days. Don't worry about it. " Jian Wei hurriedly continued, afraid that her grandfather would be angry.
However, Old Man Xiao did not plan to let it go so easily. He turned around and glared at Xiao Yihan: "Since Weiwei is already like this, it's fine if you don't feel sorry for her. But you can't possibly think about escaping by yourself, right?"
Hearing that, Jian Wei anxiously stopped her: "I really do not need it, Grandfather. "With my small injuries, I shouldn't have gone all out. Yi Han has his own matters to attend to …"
"Weiwei, don't be shy. Tonight, Grandfather will make the decision for you to stay at home. If that stinking brat Xiao Yihan sneaks away or uses violence against you, don't hesitate to tell Grandfather. Grandfather will help you teach him a lesson. "
Old Man Xiao grabbed Jian Wei's hand, and only after a long while did he let go of his hand. He patted Jian Wei's shoulder, and shook his head in disapproval of Xiao Yihan's actions.
"Alright, you stay at home and accompany Weiwei. If I find out that you escaped in the middle of the night, I'll definitely break your legs." I'll be leaving first. The two of you should properly cultivate your feelings for each other. "
Old Man Xiao clearly understood in his heart that Xiao Yihan would not go back on his word after what he had promised, but he still knocked on the door a few times before proposing to go home.
"We'll send you off, Grandfather." Old Man Xiao nodded in satisfaction as Jian Wei and Xiao Yihan spoke in unison.
"The driver is just outside the door, there's no need for you to send him off. Xiao Yihan, you should think about it yourself. Just spend more time with Weiwei every day. "
As Old Man Xiao spoke, he opened the living room door, took a step forward, and then turned to say goodbye to Jian Wei. Then, he was handed a walking stick by the butler and left with support.
The two of them watched at the door as Old Man Xiao got on the car and disappeared from sight. Only then did they regain their senses. They looked at each other, then wordlessly walked into the house.
Jian Wei first went to the living room to apply some medicine to her somewhat inflamed wound, then carefully stuck a bandage on it, only then did she walk up the stairs.
When Jian Wei changed into her pajamas and walked out of the bathroom with the towel in her hand, she realized that the door was already locked. There was even the sound of water splashing inside.
"Looks like I'm a step too late." Jian Wei muttered and turned to leave.
But for some reason, the image of Xiao Yihan bathing, his lean muscles, and clearly defined mermaid lines surfaced in Jian Wei's mind …
With a creak, the door opened from behind them. "What are you standing here for?"
When the cold voice entered his ears, Jian Wei's entire body involuntarily shivered.
She put on a smile, turned around and said, "I, I just came to take a bath. I saw you taking a bath, so I wanted to leave. I didn't want to do anything."
Xiao Yihan obviously did not believe Jian Wei's words, as he looked up and down at Jian Wei, and did not manage to see any clues, he just shook his head and left.
Seeing that Xiao Yihan had walked far away, Jian Wei finally patted her chest and heaved a sigh of relief. When did she ever have a bad brain?
Could it be that just because Xiao Yihan apologized earlier, he had fantasized about him? So …
Jian Wei trembled, thinking of his cold and terrifying appearance, and immediately jumped into the bathroom, retracting his wandering thoughts.
Jian Wei had bathed for a long time this time, and she was a little regretting that she had to first apply the medicine in her bag and the bandage on her wound. Jian Wei felt that she had suffered 999 points of damage from being forcefully sliced off a piece of meat. Now that she was touched by water and using all sorts of bathing necessities, she finally understood why she was in such pain.
Finally changing into a pajamas, Jian Wei pushed open the bathroom door, carefully opened the bedroom door, and saw the motionless Xiao Yihan sleeping on her side. Only then did she let out a long sigh of relief, change into a bandage, and turn off the light.
Xiao Yihan could feel someone lying behind him. He forced himself not to make any noise and closed his eyes once again.
Xiao Yihan's mind was filled with the image of Jian Wei defending him at the press conference, the scene of how he did not make a single sound while cutting vegetables, and how he tried to defend himself with all his strength in front of his grandfather, yet he had ridiculed her, and even insinuated at Jian Wei's rough skin and thick flesh.
He knew that Jian Wei had never been to the hospital, nor had she given any acupuncture points. He even didn't know if she had added any medicine, but the image of her forcing herself to smile still remained.
For a moment, Xiao Yihan felt somewhat guilty in his heart.
However, he had already apologized to her twice before. If he repeated it again, would she swell up and look down on him in the future? Would she take this as a joke and mock him?
Xiao Yihan's mind was warring continuously. He closed his eyes and suddenly felt the woman behind him put her finger in his mouth again.
Jian Wei did indeed put her finger in her mouth, but because of the wound, it was only a superficial layer, giving the finger a bit of heat, making it less painful.
Jian Wei wanted to apply some medicine on her fingers, but when she thought about the other side of the bed, where Xiao Yihan was still sleeping, she became afraid that she would wake Xiao Yihan up.
Xiao Yihan felt the person behind him acting cautiously, the battle in his head finally stopped.
In that instant, he understood these things. There were some things that needed to be done according to his own heart. He could not be afraid of tigers and wolves; otherwise, what could he accomplish?
As Xiao Yihan thought about this, his lips opened a little, and he finally opened his mouth.
"Jian Wei." However, he couldn't spit it out no matter what he thought. The feeling of having his words stuck in his throat made him feel extremely uncomfortable.
Jian Wei was startled, but when she turned her head, she saw that the person beside her was still motionless, as though she was sleeping soundly, thus she did not make a sound.
However, Xiao Yihan frowned and did not receive a response for a long time. He only turned his head around and looked at Jian Wei who was still without movement with his eyes wide open.
"No problem, go to sleep."
Jian Wei's eyelashes trembled, she wanted to ask what was going on, but did not know what Xiao Yihan was doing, and did not say anything.
Xiao Yihan had prepared these words long ago, but he still did not say them out loud.
Jian Wei was slightly stunned.
Just as Xiao Yihan was about to ask Jian Wei what he could do, his phone suddenly rang.
The phone on the bedside table lit up, lighting up the dark bedroom.
Seeing that Jian Wei had turned away and was no longer paying attention to him, Xiao Yihan did not know what to say, and turned to grab his phone.
Xiao Yihan closed his eyes and pressed the answer button, he opened his eyes, wanting to see who the caller was. The dazzling light caused Xiao Yihan to squint his eyes, his hands slipped, and after some unknown point, Xia Anqi's panicked voice came out from the phone.
"Yi Han, I … I am surrounded by a group of people. They … they …!"
Xia Anqi's voice became softer and softer as she spoke, as waves of berating voices came from her side.
Regardless if it was true or false, it was true that Xia Anqi was currently in danger.
Jian Wei turned her head to look at Xiao Yihan. Sure enough, his face was dark.
When facing Xia Anqi, he should have always been cautious!
He thought about the last time he was kidnapped by Zhi Zun's people because of Jian Cheng. He wondered if Xiao Yihan was as worried about him then.
Without saying a word, Xiao Yihan got off the bed. It was obvious that right now, there was only one woman in his mind!
When he arrived at the doorway, he had a rough idea that Jian Wei, his wife, whom he had admitted at the press conference earlier, was still lying on the bed.
His grandfather had just left not too long ago, and logically speaking, he should be accompanying Jian Wei tonight.
"You don't have to let me down. We were just playing around."
It was unknown when, but Jian Wei had long since been able to say things without exposing the slightest flaw.
In any case, even if she were to plead bitterly, Xiao Yihan would not stay behind.
To him, saying "I'm sorry" was probably the biggest gift compared to just slamming the door and leaving.
