Two-faced: Doting Husband & Shameless Wife - Chapter 127

Xi Jian waited until Ling Yue’s crying sob subside. He patted and rubbed her back while saying soothing words. Xi Jian never did this to anyone. He never tried to smooth others feelings and chose not to care. His carefree demeanor was apparently because he has everything. Face and wealth, plus social standing that can not be underestimated. Therefore he did whatever he wants, especially with the woman he was dating. If they were sulking because his attitude, Xi Jian only needs to buy them a luxury goods. But if they ask for his feelings specifically, Xi Jian ended their relationship and the problem was solved.

But with Ling Yue … just watching her tears make Xi Jian’s heart hurt a lot. What Ling Yue went through, Xi Jian wanted to turn back time and replace her. He could not help feeling overwhelmed helpless seeing her sob.

“Honey … I’m sorry…”

Ling Yue said something but her voice stammered. Xi Jian waited patiently until her words were complete.

“Why … are you … apologizing? I’m … sure … this isn’t your fault … even though … That’s … enough … scary … I think … I … won’t … meet you … again … ”

Ling Yue kept repeating the same words until fatigue took over her. Her cries were reduced but her eyes felt heavy and in no time, Ling Yue fell asleep in Xi Jian’s arms.

Gan Ji, who did not hear any more voice from inside, muster up his courage to knock on the door. He almost ran halfway toward Xi Jian when he saw his injured boss lifting Ling Yue and dragging an IV stick with his leg.

“B … boss, let me help you.”

Gan Ji intended to take over Ling Yue’s body but Xi Jian’s cold gaze made sweat flow from his back.

“In case not an emergency, don’t you dare touch her. Even a finger.”

“B … but … you’re still hurt and …” Gan Ji’s voice shrank and his hands floated awkwardly.

“If you want to help, bring my IV. This is really annoying.” Xi Jian grumbled and headed for his patient bed. “Are they still outside?” Xi Jian winced as he put Ling Yue on the bed.

“Mr. Xi and Mr. Bai are still outside, the other members are partly on guard and others are carrying out their mission.”

“Tell them to come back tomorrow. I don’t want to meet anyone else today.”

Gan Ji wants to say something else, but chose not to. He nodded and walked out.

Ling Yue opened her eyes again. Her body now felt more tired. The first thing she saw was Xi Jian’s handsome face which was only one fist away from her face. Ling Yue remembered how she cried last time. Xi Jian must have stayed with her because he didn’t want her feel alone. Ling Yue was very grateful for his consideration.

“Xi Jian … what would I do if you were not here…” Ling Yue ċȧrėss her husband’s cheek. Since meeting Xi Jian, Ling Yue’s world has changed. Her emotions go up and down. The situation was head over heels. But she did not regret it. Until this moment, Ling Yue had no idea that she could love someone this deep to be able to make it last. Plus there was a new life that she brought. It feels like Ling Yue can face the whole world.

And suddenly she realized Xi Jian actually hurt too but didn’t know what happened.

“Don’t do anything and wait for me. I will definitely come back to you, even if I have to crawl from my grave.”

Ling Yue was shocked when her hand on Xi Jian’s face was covered by a hand. His eyes peered, half open only to make sure Ling Yue was beside him.

“You’re awake?” Ling Yue blushed because she was caught staring at his sleeping face like a pervert.

“Hmm …” Xi Jian closed his eyes again. “Don’t look like that, unless you really want to ‘wake me up’” Xi Jian pulled Ling Yue deeper into his arms.

“Oh … um … I don’t understand but … okay …”

“… Why are you getting nervous?” Xi Jian could feel Ling Yue’s heartbeat increase. The corner of his lips lifted. Ling Yue grumbled in his arms. How could she stay calm when something starts to pierce her thɨġh.

“Don’t mind it. It’s just a morning habit.” Xi Jian didn’t sleep all night and just looked at Ling Yue. If only this wasn’t a hospital and Ling Yue wasn’t in a state of injury, maybe Xi Jian wouldn’t be able to hold his ŀust. They only did not meet a day or two after a fight. Xi Jian held her tightly and inhaled the scent of Ling Yue that he missed so much.

“Ouch …”

Xi Jian opened his eyes wide as Ling Yue ġrȯȧnėd in pain.

“Ohh did I hurt you?” Xi Jian sat and watched Ling Yue. When Xi Jian hugged her, her injured arm was accidentally pinched.

“No…don’t mind me. How about you? I heard you were hurt? What happened?” Ling Yue stared at his body but she didn’t see anything hurtful. Was it in the place hidden behind his cloth?
