âForget about the note for now. Your wounds are still bleeding!â
Chu Liyuan looked at Jian Danâs bleeding neck and retrieved a handkerchief from his suit pocket. He let Jian Dan press on the wound first as he carried her princess style, and went downstairs.
When they arrived downstairs, Jian Dan saw Xiaoyang, who had rushed back⦠âXiaoyang? Why are you back?â
âOh! After 1 hid Mengjiao in a safe place, I was worried about you. So 1 came back for you. Fortunately, Uncle Chu arrived in time.â
Looking at Xiaoyang who was severely injured himself but still came back for her, Jian Dan was very touched.
âYouâre so righteous and chivalrous. Now, I not only owe you a meal, but also my life!â
âLuckily, youâre here today. Thank you!â
Chu Liyuan also thanked Xiaoyang. Chu Liyuan was not one who said thank you to others.
âItâs fine! With our ties, isnât this what 1 should do?!â
Ling Xiaoyang smiled.
âItâs good that youâre fine! Alright, hurry up and send her to the hospital!
Otherwise, sheâll die from loss of blood after escaping the fate of being killed by those two lunatics.â
âWhereâs Mengjiao? Is she safe?â Jian Dan was worried about Mengjiao.
âDonât worry. Iâve stashed her somewhere safe. Iâll lead the police there now.â
âIâll go with you!â Li Jing followed them.
âTruly, thank you so much, Xiaoyang!â
Jian Dan said to Ling Xiaoyang solemnly.
Watching the two of them leave, Ling Xiaoyangâs heart brimmed with melancholyâ¦
After the police found Mengjiao, they sent her to the hospital.
In the hospitalâ¦
Although Jian Danâs injuries were already bandaged, she should still be on bed rest. However, when Jian Dan found out that Mengjiao had been sent to the hospital, she could not contain herself anymoreâ¦
But how could Chu Liyuan agree to let Jian Dan go?
Initially, Jian Dan wanted to sneak over when Chu Liyuan was not around. However, how could Chu Liyuan not see through her thoughts? Hence, he stayed by her side.
Jian Dan did not get a chance at allâ¦
Fortunately, Xiaoyang came over and updated Jian Dan on Mengjiaoâs condition briefly.
After the treatment, Mengjiao was fine. However, many wounds on her body were infected and she was a little dehydrated, so she had yet to wake up.
Hearing that Mengjiao was fine, Jian Dan heaved a sigh of relief. Since Mengjiao was not awake yet anyway, she would visit her tomorrow when she woke up!
At night, the two of them squeezed together on the small single bed. Chu Liyuan hugged Jian Dan from behindâ¦
After the events of these two days, Chu Liyuan deeply understood Jian Danâs place in his heart. He did not dare to imagine what he would become if he lost her one day. However, he could not be by her side 24 hours a day. It seemed like he had to think of a wayâ¦
As Jian Dan lay in Chu Liyuanâs arms, she felt the warmth of his body⦠his warm breath on her ear, and his strong arms around her. It was great to be alive.
âJian Jian, I love you!â
Jian Dan turned around and looked at Chu Liyuan. When Jian Dan saw his moist eyes, she felt an inexplicable pain in her heart.
Jian Dan finally understood what Chu Liyuan meant previously when he said that every tear she shed was like sulfuric acid dripping on his heart, corroding it.
âUncleâ¦â Jian Jian kissed the corner of Chu Liyuanâs eyes. Tears trickled into Jian Danâs mouth. It tasted salty and astringent.
âPromise me that no matter what happens in the future, youâre not allowed to leave me.â
âUncle, I will never leave you.â
Jian Dan burrowed into Chu Liyuanâs arms and hugged his waist tightly.
Chu Liyuan returned her warm embrace with equal fervor.
Thank God, sheâs fine!
