The most important thing was that when she had just arrived, she saw her daughter sitting beside Ye Wenming's bed, staring at him blankly.If her daughter had no feelings for Ye Wenming, how could she have looked at him like that?There were struggle and obsession in the bottom of her eyes.Mothers knew best. Mrs. Zhuo knew that Ye Wenming would probably be imprinted in her heart forever!Even if her daughter kept saying she did not love him, she had feelings for him. She just... would not admit it.After Mrs. Zhuo and Lil Yan left, Zhuo Qianyun remained in Ye Wenming's ward.He slept soundly. The doctor said he would probably be asleep for a while even after the anesthesia wore off due to the severe blood loss. He could wake up a few hours later or maybe longer than that.'When will he wake up?'His face still looked pale with a sense of vulnerability.It was as if he was going to disappear at any moment.Zhuo Qianyun's heart suddenly quivered. She raised her hand almost sub
Zhuo Qianyun quickly stood up straight and said to the nurse, "He... He's awake.""I'll call the doctor and have them come and examine him," the nurse said.After the nurse left the ward, Zhuo Qianyun looked down at the wrist he was holding. "Will you... let go for a while? The doctor will examine you in a moment."However, Ye Wenming kept holding her as if it was the only way to make sure she was safe. "Are you... really alright?""I'm fine. The baby's fine too. Thank you for saving me... and our baby," she said.There was a flicker of surprise in his eyes that she used the word ‘ours.’ It was as if she and he were one, not separate individuals."It's great... that you and the baby are... okay," he murmured. His already hoarse voice sounded more broken due to the lump in his throat."You hurt your neck. Don't talk so much!" Zhuo Qianyun said hurriedly.The wounds on his neck were far more serious than hers.He obediently closed his mouth, but those dark eyes of his were still
However, there was a pang of self-reproach in her dark eyes even as she said so.Her pain seemed to influence her as she suddenly hugged him.The abruptness of her gesture even surprised her.If it were before, she would probably never think of hugging Ye Wenming again one day.However, she was really hugging him right now!'Is it guilt? Am I just feeling sorry? Or... is it something else?'"Ye Wenming, enough is enough... You don't have anything to blame yourself for, alright? I was even glad that the blood existed when it was transfused back to yourself. If they hadn’t done that and if something had happened to you, then I..." Her voice broke. She was almost unable to go on. "Fortunately, you got off the operating table safely."Ye Wenming was stunned. All he could smell was her.She was hugging him... How long had she not hugged him of her own volition?It seemed to be a long time ago when she loved him and would always hug him voluntarily. She would ask him coquettishly to
Those deep black eyes stared intently at her. Looking at his gaze, it was as though he wanted to look at her forever. Zhuo Qianyun froze for a while before quickly sitting up. With her face slightly red, she said to Ye Wenming, "I... I'm going back to my ward first. You... You should continue getting some rest."With that, she quickly got out of bed and left.Ye Wenming's eyes were on Zhuo Qianyun until her figure disappeared from the ward. Then, he slowly looked down at his hands.His hands were still wrapped in gauze, and he had injuries all over his body. However, his heart was jubilant.She had laid down by his side last night, sleeping peacefully with him. He had been longing for this all these years.He cherished it even if it was only done out of sympathy.Even after she fell asleep, he kept his eyes open, looking at her. He was afraid that all this would disappear if he closed his eyes.He had been telling himself not to expect anything. All he had to do in this life w
After all, a person who once helped her had now become someone who had hurt her. Such a transformation could make one emotional.Mrs. Zhuo would visit her daughter every day after Lil Yan finished school, bringing her food.Ye Wenming could only eat liquid food these days because of the wounds on his neck. The hospital would prepare his meals for him, so Mrs. Zhuo did not have to prepare additional food.On the third day, when Ye Wenming could get out of bed and walk, he often went to Zhuo Qianyun's ward to watch her eat. He communicated with her in sign language.Zhuo Qianyun knew sign language because of Lil Yan.Although her son now had a cochlear implant and could communicate freely under most circumstances, Zhuo Qianyun had not forgotten sign language.However, she did not expect Ye Wenming to know sign language either. He was quite fluent too. At least, they had no problem communicating.'He... probably learned sign language because of Lil Yan,' Zhuo Qianyun thought to her
"No thanks. I... want to know why he’s here looking for me," said Zhuo Qianyun.Therefore, Zhuo Qianyun asked the nurse to let Wu Huairen into the ward.After entering the ward, Wu Huairen was not as arrogant as he was before. Instead of looking like a noble businessman, he was haggard. Even the suit he was wearing was a little wrinkled. He looked so down and out. Wu Huairen said uneasily, "Uh... Mr. Ye, Mrs. Ye, what Yan Qiongying did this time has nothing to do with the Wu family. I knew nothing about it, nor did I participate in it. It was her idea alone! I broke up with her long before she did anything to Mrs. Ye! You can look into it.""I don't understand why you’re telling us this, Mr. Wu? If you're afraid of being implicated, you should be talking to the police, not us," said Zhuo Qianyun.Wu Huairen was groaning inwardly. The police did not arrest him because he had nothing to do with the case.However, even though he was innocent, many people in the business circle knew
After all, when Yan Qiongying asked him to pass the message, she had said quite confidently, "As long as you pass this message to Zhuo Qianyun, I have a way to get myself acquitted once she comes to see me. When others see that I'm acquitted, they won't think that you've offended the Ye family. You can go on living as before!"However, Wu Huairen doubted Yan Qiongying's words. She committed such a great crime this time. Could she be acquitted?"Mrs. Ye, you... you'll meet Yan Qiongying, won't you?" Wu Huairen was expecting Zhuo Qianyun to go.As long as Yan Qiongying was acquitted, his business would not be affected any longer."Mr. Wu, it's up to me whether I want to see her or not. You can leave now," Zhuo Qianyun asked him to leave."But..." Wu Huairen wanted to say something more, but Ye Wenming's cold gaze silenced him.If he continued speaking and upset Ye Wenming, the Wu family would probably collapse faster.Wu Huairen could only leave reluctantly.Ye Wenming said to Zh
"Stop talking. The doctor told you not to talk so much," said Zhuo Qianyun."You’re not pushing me away. Is it because you can't bear to see me in pain?" He continued to talk."I... I just think you saved my life, so it doesn't matter... if you want to hug me like this for a while," she stammered slightly. His scent enveloped her, making her flustered."Really? It doesn't matter… whether you’re grateful, compassionate, or sympathetic. At least... I hold some kind of place in your heart." Instead of her ignoring him even if he stood in front of her.Having her ignoring him felt awful."Ye Wenming, what are you trying to say?" she asked."Qianyun, you said the words 'my husband' to Wu Huairen just now. I... I'm just asking if there's a chance that I can make our marriage more than just a formality. Can I... be your real husband?" he asked, his voice hoarse with a hint of nervousness.It was as if he had summoned all his courage to ask this.Zhuo Qianyun was silent. For a moment,
