An Nuonuo couldnât handle the message when she saw it.
Sob sob sob.
My husband is talking more and more like that.
So annoying.
Unsure of how to respond, she silently put her phone down.
Then she flipped through a book titled âSecret Recipes to Make a Man Strong as a Tiger Night After Night.â
It contained various dietary supplements, all aimed at men.
Worried that Jiang Xu was wearing himself out, she planned to nourish him well when he returned.
Even though it meant she herself would end up tired.
ââââââ
Itâs too late today; thereâs no way to go back.
Jiang Xu booked a hotel and planned to return to Magic City the next morning.
As for Chu Youweiâ¦
Jiang Xu hesitated slightly but decided not to go see her.
Without An Nuonuo there, it didnât seem appropriate for him to visit another girl alone.
However, just as he arrived at the hotel entrance, he unexpectedly ran into Chu Youwei.
Even though Chu Youwei was wearing a down jacket, a scarf, and a mask, Jiang Xu recognized her at first sight.
Standing at the hotel entrance, her eyes, watery as they were, carried a trace of helplessness.
Having seen her, Jiang Xu naturally couldnât pretend otherwise.
He approached her and asked gently, âYouwei, why are you here all alone?â
âAh?â A familiar voice reached her ears.
Chu Youwei turned her head and saw Jiang Xu walking toward her.
Her eyes sparkled with surprise, âWhy are you here?â
For Chu Youwei, Jiang Xuâs sudden appearance when she was in trouble held deep significance.
âCame here on a business trip and thought it was too late to contact you,â Jiang Xu improvised before asking again, âWhat about you? Why are you here?â
Chu Youwei said somewhat embarrassedly, âI twisted my ankle and I dare not move now.â
âHmm?â Jiang Xu frowned, âWhereâs your bodyguard?â
He had specifically arranged for a bodyguard to protect Chu Youwei.
Now Youwei had an accident and the bodyguard was not by her side.
Seeing what Jiang Xu had in mind, Chu Youwei hurriedly explained, âThe bodyguardâs son is sick and needed care, so I let her go. Donât blame her.â
âItâs my lack of consideration,â Jiang Xu said in a deep voice, âIâll send another one over.â
âThank you,â Chu Youwei replied softly, âYou should go and rest first, Iâve called for someone from the company.â
Jiang Xu said, âLet me take you to the hospital.â
Chu Youwei shook her head, âNo need, I can endure it.â
âIn the dead of winter, how long do you have to wait outside?â Without further ado, Jiang Xu picked her up, âIâll take you to the hospital.â
Chu Youwei was lighter than An Nuonuo.
Even in thick clothing, a faint fragrance wafted from her, providing a sense of tranquility to anyone who smelled it.
Just like an orchid, tender, serene, and elegant.
Never vying for attention, blossoming on its own.
Chu Youwei tensed up completely.
Under the mask, her stunning face was already flushed pink.
She involuntarily closed her eyes, not daring to look at Jiang Xu.
And after she caught the distinct masculine scent from him, she quickly held her breath.
Chu Youwei felt as though she was walking a tightrope on the edge of a cliff.
Terribly nervous.
In the midst of winter, breaking out into a cold sweat.
Jiang Xu didnât notice Chu Youweiâs expressions.
He also didnât think about things like the differences between men and women.
All he knew was that if she wasnât treated promptly, any lasting issues would be difficult to explain to An Nuonuo.
After running several red lights, in less than half an hour, he took Chu Youwei to the orthopedic hospital.
After setting the bone and obtaining the medicine, Jiang Xu rapidly sent her home.
âThank you,â Chu Youwei finally managed to gather her thoughts after she got home.
But she still didnât dare to look at Jiang Xu, bowing her head and saying, âIâm not really hurt, you can go back.â
She really wanted to spend more time with Jiang Xu, but she also had many concerns.
And she didnât want to make things difficult for Jiang Xu.
Nor had she ever thought about playing any tricks to gain sympathy.
âHave you taken a shower today?â Jiang Xu asked.
âNot yet,â Chu Youwei shook her head. âItâs okay, I can manage by myself, I can slowly make it into the showerâ¦â
Before she could finish speaking, Jiang Xu picked her up again.
Placing her in front of the wardrobe, âPick out your clothes, Iâll take you to the bathroom.â
Chu Youwei: ââ¦â
Jiang Xuâs tone was slightly domineering, but she didnât mind at all; on the contrary, she felt very moved.
He cares about me.
Even though this âcareâ wasnât romantic, Chu Youwei already felt very content.
Chu Youwei obediently began to choose her clothes.
By this time, Jiang Xu had already turned his back to her.
Nevertheless, when choosing her undergarments, Chu Youwei still unavoidably blushed.
Even though Jiang Xu wasnât looking, such a situation still made her, an unmarried woman, feel extremely embarrassed.
She picked a set of the most conservative clothes in the shortest time possible.
Then she tightly wrapped her undergarments in a skirt.
With a weak voice as soft as a mosquitoâs whisper, she said, âIâm ready~â
âOh.â
Jiang Xu turned around, picked up Chu Youwei again, and placed her inside the bathroom.
He then went out again to bring her a chair, âYou can sit and wash, thatâll be fine.â
Chu Youwei, looking down, didnât catch what Jiang Xu was saying clearly.
The events of this evening had already been super extraordinary for her.
It wasnât until she heard the door close that Chu Youwei came to her senses.
Raising her head, Jiang Xu had already left.
She fanned her face with her hands.
Even though it was the dead of winter, she felt her whole body burning up.
If Zhou Qingyue were here, she would say: you must have a fever.
It took Chu Youwei a good while to calm down the turmoil inside her heart.
She slowly took off her clothes.
Her bathroom was specially fitted with several large floor mirrors.
In a blink of an eye, her perfect figure was exposed to the air.
Chu Youwei looked at her body in the mirror, which would make many girls blush.
Suddenly, a thought flashed through her mind.
Would Jiang Xu like her figure?
âOh my, why am I thinking about this?â
Chu Youwei was extremely embarrassed.@@novelbin@@
She vigorously shook her head, trying to expel those odd thoughts from her mind.
Hurry up and take a shower, Jiang Xu is still waiting outside.
Girls usually take longer showers.
Chu Youwei was no exception.
Even though she tried to hurry tonight.
But because of the wound on her foot, it still took over half an hour to finish.
Mainly because when wearing panties, she had to bend over and rely on one foot for support.
Plus, the burden brought on by the upper body when bending over was indeed somewhat significant.
So it led to the simplest of daily movements requiring extra time today.
Ah, such a nuisance.
After getting dressed, Chu Youwei limped to the door.
She knocked and said weakly, âJiang Xu, are you still out there? Iâm done.â
