The Typhoon’s Dangerous Wife - Chapter 380
Just as Zhenyi had reminded Fan Bingbing, it indeed was time for doctors to get her dressing changed. Although Xin Yichen couldn’t get his precious daughter out of jail, especially after the heavy charges were imposed on her, still it didn’t stop him from making sure that his daughter didn’t want for anything. It could be said that Zhenyi was provided for everything inside her cell.
She was taken to the infirmary that was located inside the police department. When she was taken there, two women police officers followed her. To be honest, she hated when these officers in uniform tried to touch her. As she had once made clear, she still was quite vocal about her allergy to police. And this visit to jail was not making it any better.
As she entered the infirmary room, she noticed that the two female officers didn’t follow her inside rather stopped outside and just as she took a step inside, the door behind her was closed with a thud.
Yes, she find it hella weird but still she didn’t speak out loud about it.
A tall and built man, clad in a white doctor’s coat was standing there with his back facing her. One might not notice, but her sharp eyes did. The doctor’s coat was looking a bit awkward on the man’s body. Again, she didn’t make any comment about it.
Turning her head, she noticed that the door was locked from outside and looking at the small room turned into an infirmary, it didn’t look like there were any CCTV cameras installed.
However careless! She snickered in her heart.
Looking at the man standing before her, she wondered out loud, “Ah, did they just leave me here with a man all alone?”
“Is it what you were hoping for?” A deep masculine voice asked her in return. The question carried faint amusement and suppressed anger.
“How could it be?” Zhenyi scoffed dramatically. Twirling her strand of hair, she added in a sickly sweet voice,” I’m a virtuous wife, who would be damned before looking at other men except for her outstanding husband.”
“Yes, a virtuous wife who is not letting her husband see her after the trouble she is stuck in,” the resentment in his voice became more apparent and he turned to look at a frail yet devastatingly gorgeous woman.
Zhenyi laughed while shaking her head and hurried her steps to come to him As she walked ahead a bit fast, her feet tripped making her fall on the floor, but before her lips kiss the floor, Long Jie caught her by her waist and pulled her think and bony body that used to be soft and round a month ago in his arms.
The small amount of meat that took almost a year to grow on her body was gone just like this in a blink of an eye. He was feeling and on behalf of the fat on her body.
Zhenyi’s eyes curved up as she murmured while burying her head in his chest” Damn, you still smell like home. I missed you so much.”
She wrapped her arms around his waist so tightly that Long Jie could feel her expressing her pain and tiredness by the hug. She didn’t tell anyone before but she was tired of staying alone here. Although she wasn’t hurt here, she still wanted someone to talk to her, take care of her, spoil her and pamper her.
Although she knew that Long Jie loved her a lot, perhaps even more than she loved him, this month spent without homage her belief that she couldn’t even think of living without him by her side. And now most certainly, they were going to live like this right beside each other until one of them dies, with each other, loving each other and annoying the hell out of each other.
Long Jie patted her head tenderly as he saw a bandage tied against her head. He asked in a soft voice, “Does this hurt?”
Zhenyi half nodded and half shook her head.
Long Jie helplessly sighed. She was trying to act spoiled, right?
They stayed in the same position for a long time and when Long Jie broke the hug, he noticed that his wife was not ready to leave his body. She was clinging to him like a koala. As much as he wanted to keep hugging her, he still had to do the job he came here for. So, he made her sit on a chair and started removing her old dressing in a careful manner.
She trusted him so much that she didn’t even ask if he knew how to change a dressing. She knew that he would never hurt her. Like ever. The whole world could become her enemy. But this man would be her permanent ally, in all situations.
“Are you not going to ask how I came here?” asked Long Jie to a very silent Zhenyi. Sometimes, this woman’s silence could be scary.
“Why would I?” She retorted while glancing at her. She raised her brows while adding in a nonchalant manner,” Who cares where the mangos come from as long as you can eat it!”
“I didn’t know you like mangoes,” asked Long Jie instantly. Yes, he knew she was just giving him a random example. But he just liked teasing her.
How could Zhenyi not understand that he was trying to tease her to lighten up the tense atmosphere? Under his calm and loving demeanour, he was scared, worried and anxious. She could understand and read all those masked emotions written on his face clearly. What kind of wife would she be if she couldn’t understand the plight of her husband?
“I don’t,” Zhenyi whispered while wrapping her arms around his neck. She kissed the side of his mouth and added,” I only like you.”
“Your coaxing won’t work on me,” Ling Jie pointed out immediately. He was immune to her dramatic behaviour now.
“I’m not coaxing you,” Zhenyi pouted. She was trying to seduce him. She can’t believe that he was immune to her seduction! How presumptuous! ” I’m just stating a fact.”
He carefully removed her arms that were wrapped around his neck and gripped her extremely delicate chin with his fingers and said with a pained expression, “Love, you have become too thin. Let me take you out of here!”
“How would you?” She gaped at her daring husband. “They will call me a fugitive. Do you want to be a fugitive’s man?”
Even though his suggestion was tempting, she still couldn’t accept being called a fugitive for something she had never committed. It would have been better if she was the one bombing that property. If she was the one, she wouldn’t have flared up at the suggestion of fleeing from the jail.
“I don’t care as long as I am your man,” Long Jie added stubbornly.
Zhenyi sighed while shutting her eyes as she couldn’t understand what to do with this man except for loving the hell out of him. “You are one crazy man, Mr Long. I don’t want to run away from here like a criminal. I haven’t killed that bastard… trust me, if I had… I wouldn’t have gotten caught.”.
“Still talking about killing,” he replied while pinching her chin.
“No, just stating a fact,” she retorted.
“Stop stating facts,” Long Jie insisted. “They are dangerous.”
“Uhuh…” No one again spoke for a long time. He just changed her dressing. And once he was done, he pulled her and hugged her. “I’m afraid that the next time I see you…you would have faded away.”
“Stop being dramatic,” Zhenyi chided him.
“Look at you,” He again said. ” You look so thin and weak.”
“I’m not weak,” She said in annoyance. “It’s just morning sickness that’s killing me.”
The words slipped out before she could stop it. She blinked her eyes at him but as the realization hit her, she put a palm on her disobedient mouth.
“What did you say?” Long Jie looked down at her, shocked. His wide eyes were looking at him as if she was his criminal.
“I…” No words formed inside her mouth. She just stared at him speechlessly.
“Zhenyi!!!”
…
“I can’t believe this…” Long Jie ran his hand in his hair as he looked at the woman who was nervously looking at her feet. He was pacing around the same room for the last fifteen minutes, occasionally glancing at him.
“Why do you look angry?” Zhenyi softly asked him when she finally mustered up the courage.
“Because I’m,” Long Jie directly said.
“Do you not want our baby?” Zhenyi blinked those outstanding eyes at him. And she knew that those eyes were his weakness and she was using his weakness against him at this moment when he was supposed to be mad at him.
Well, he wasn’t mad at her but at him.
Long Jie shook his head and kneeled down to be at an equal level as her. He lifted her chin to make her look at him. “How can I not? But this mess…you have jumped into…? Let’s run away, Zhenyi.”
Zhenyi looked at him as if he had lost his mind.
“Consequence be damned, Cat eyes! Let’s run away. You, I and our baby. I don’t need anything else.. This wealth and power, I don’t need it at all.”
