Chapters 91 - 91: Temperance

Xia Jing opened her eyes wide, wanting to take a good look, but the man behind her suddenly pulled her into her embrace, with a big hand covering her eyes.

A crisp sound rang out, and the surroundings instantly became silent.

Eh, which song is this?

"Looks like we didn't come at the right time." Shen Ruo Bai hugged Xia Jing's shoulders, and left just after saying that.

Who would have thought that Li Nan would rush out of the door ahead of the other two, slamming the door loudly.

Su An An's crying voice came from behind.

Xia Jing quickly struggled free from Shen Ruo Bai and ran back to hug the crying Su An An. She patted her back to comfort her.

"Xiao Jing... "Woo woo …"

"Li Nan is a bastard …"

Xia Jing nodded her head, she did not forget to turn back and look at Shen Ruo Bai who was still at the entrance.

Shen Ruo Bai's face darkened, but he did not complain, and turned to leave.

Su An An cried for a long time, but seeing that she had no intention to stop, Xia Jing thought that she must have been sullied by Li Nan, causing her to be unable to relax for a moment, she couldn't help but say: "An An An, don't be sad, Li Nan, that rogue dared to molest you, I will call Luo Bai trash when I go back."

Su An An immediately stopped crying, raised her head and looked at Xia Jing's serious face, and wiped away her tears, "No, it's none of his business."

Seeing her awkward expression, Xia Jing couldn't help but laugh, "I was just joking with you. If I really make Shen Ruo Bai cripple him, won't you go all out on me?"

It was a very normal thing for a young couple to get into an awkward situation.

He complained, but he didn't care too much about it. His heart was in pain.

"I'm ignoring you." Su An An pushed her away and hid under the blanket in embarrassment and anger.

Xia Jing looked around at the mess, and sighed: "Youngsters are full of energy, even such a big commotion could be caused in the ward, but An Xin, you are still a patient, you have to take it easy."

"Damn woman, what nonsense are you spouting!" Su An An threw a pillow at Xia Jing, who caught it in her hand, "Alright, alright, I won't say anymore. I promise I won't say anymore."

The sickroom finally quieted down.

After Xia Jing tidied up the mess on the ground for a bit, she went to pour Su An An a cup of boiling water and passed it over, "Regarding Xu Huai, Li Nan should have told you already."

As he spoke about this, Su An An became angry again. He held the cup tightly in both his hands and said unwillingly, "She caused me so much suffering, detaining her for a few days was too easy for her."

What else do you want? Can it be that you want Li Nan to break her legs?

"Why can't I fight …" Su An An stopped halfway through her words, her face full of disappointment: "Forget it, forget it, that man won't take revenge for me. He really has no balls."

"It seems like the reason you guys argued just now was because of this matter?" Xia Jing was at a loss whether to laugh or cry, "No matter what, this is a society governed by the law. If you ask Li Nan to break her legs, will Li Nan break her legs? You want to keep him in custody for a few days, too. Furthermore, no matter how evil that person was, Xu Huai was still a woman. As a man, what kind of words would it take for Li Nan to break a woman's legs?

Furthermore, it's not as simple as detaining you for a few days. You have to compensate her with a large amount of money, but I don't think that she'll be able to take it out in a short period of time.

Besides, she still had a mother who had just finished an operation, so her future days would not be any better.

This pitiful person must have said something hateful that wasn't bad. If Xu Huai didn't repay her kindness with hatred and even hurt the people around her, she, Xia Jing, wouldn't have treated her that way.

In the end, she deserved everything.

"Is my suffering going to end like this?" Su An An was still unresigned. She had been harmed so badly by that person, she still did not know when she would be able to leave the hospital.

"If you really feel that you're being too wronged, it's not like there's no way to vent your anger. After all, you don't lack money, and at worst you won't need to compensate, letting her cripple your leg. Forget about it, I think she might agree."

In the end, what Xu Huai lacked the most now was money.

"Xiao Jing, I didn't know that you had such a bad idea." "In the past, I was worried that you would be protected too well by Shen Ruo Bai, that it would be dangerous for you to come out of society. However, I didn't expect that you would be a smart person."

Not long after Li Nan entered the company, Xiao Jing told him to add a few surveillance devices onto the company. It seemed that Xiao Jing had already known about what Xu Huai had done, it was just that he did not expose her.

"I was only thinking for your sake. Li Nan is an honest man, don't keep on bullying him."

"Don't mention him, if it was your Shen Ruo Bai, eighty percent of him would not even be alive right now." With this comparison, Su An An had a greater opinion of Li Nan.

A man like Shen Ruo Bai was a real man.

Xia Jing was speechless for a moment.

Su An An suddenly remembered something.

"Xiao Jing, other than Shen Ruo Bai, do you have any other family members here?"

Xia Jing's expression changed slightly, "Why do you ask?"

Five years ago, that huge fire caused her family to be ruined and her family to be taken away by Shen Ruo Bai.

"The last time you were hospitalized …" Su An An wanted to say something but hesitated. The last time Xiao Jing was hospitalized, she needed a blood transfusion, so the doctor said that her blood type was special.

But Xiao Jing had said that she was an orphan and had no other family members, so in the end, who had given her the blood?

"An An?"

"Oh, it's nothing. I was just casually asking. Xiao Jing, don't take it to heart." Su An An laughed awkwardly. Xiao Jing said that she was an orphan and probably wouldn't lie to her. Maybe the hospital found a suitable blood type for Xiao Jing later on.

The night gradually turned darker.

On the way back, Xia Jing fell asleep on the carriage.

Shen Ruo Bai quietly stared at her for a while, then went into the bathroom to take a bath.

After coming out, Xia Jing was still in her sleep, not moving at all.

She was usually a sleeper and could not sleep well. She could wake up with even the slightest noise. It was probably because he had been travelling for a whole day and was very tired. This time, he had slept very soundly.

Shen Ruo Bai helped her take off her clothes, covered her with a blanket after that, and gently carried her in his arms. Hearing her clear breathing, his solemn expression eased up slightly.

If he could, he would have kept her at home for the rest of his life.

However, there were some things that he couldn't control, nor could this woman.

He only wished that she could stay by his side for the rest of her life. It was enough for him to hug her like this every night.

The woman in his embrace suddenly frowned. Perhaps she had dreamt of something. He reached out his hand and gently stroked her brow. Her brow gradually relaxed. Her mouth slightly opened as she breathed, yet slept deeply again.

The entire night passed in madness.

The next day, she could no longer see anyone. His bite marks were all over her body, and some parts were even a little bruised. No matter what she wore, it would not stop her.

She was so angry that she directly pushed him off the bed, staring with her round eyes: "Shen Ruo Bai, why are you telling me to go to work like this?"
