But even after hearing such words from Lu Jingchen, Song Qiao still felt uneasy inside. Her tone seemed to be certain, yet uncertain, "If Xi Mohan hadn’t saved Ning Wan this time, would it be her lying in the hospital now?"
Just now, upon hearing Lu Jingchen’s words, it was already almost certain that Xi Mohan had saved her this time; otherwise, the one lying in the hospital could very well have been Wanwan herself.
Lu Jingchen glanced at her, sighed slightly, and spoke softly, "Mo Han sensed from the start that there might be danger around her, so he secretly assigned people to protect her from the shadows. Even if those people acted, with those protecting her from the shadows, she wouldn’t be harmed. Besides, didn’t you notice she hasn’t suffered a single injury this time?"
Song Qiao still felt very uneasy and bit her lip as she asked, "Then why did Xi Mohan get injured this time?"
Lu Jingchen paused, then thought for a moment before offering a conclusion, "Maybe he was just unlucky."
Indeed, this was his misfortune. Originally, Ning Wan was staying at home not going out, but this man insisted on half-forcing and half-dragging her out to have a meal. In the end, they coincidentally encountered people who were waiting for the chance to take action against Ning Wan. They probably hadn’t expected Lu Jingchen to be with Ning Wan. He could have avoided the sneak attack by those people, but sometimes people act foolishly. Xi Mohan, that man, perhaps wanted to show off or genuinely stage a bitter trick, and during a street race, the car accident happened at a corner...
Ning Wan was well protected by him. During the car accident, Xi Mohan threw himself entirely over her, so he was the only one injured.
In fact, they had already started investigating the culprits two days ago, and results would be available in these two days. If Xi Mohan hadn’t taken Ning Wan out that day, there wouldn’t have been a car accident. They could’ve waited patiently for two days until they figured out who was targeting Ning Wan, and she would have been safe.
But Xi Mohan was just so unlucky...
Song Qiao looked up at him, her eyes filled with growing tension and unease, "Have you found out who wants to harm Ning Wan now?"
What if they haven’t figured it out yet? Even though Ning Wan has people protecting her, the enemy is hidden. What if one day they make a move when the protectors aren’t paying attention? Wouldn’t it be very dangerous?
The man raised his hand to gently rub her hair, filled with indulgence and warmth, his voice low as if conveying an endless sense of safety, "Don’t worry, she won’t be harmed, and Mo Han won’t just stand by and watch something happen to her."
Song Qiao suddenly fell silent. Everyone could see Xi Mohan’s feelings for Ning Wan now.
Even though she never liked Xi Mohan because of the way he treated Wanwan before, seeing him get hurt because of Wanwan now, maybe she’s starting to forgive him a bit.
Sometimes people’s hearts are complex like this. Clearly disliking someone intensely before, even harboring hate, but if that person opens up and does something wholeheartedly, the original dislike and hate gradually dissipate.
This is probably called being soft-hearted...
Lu Jingchen looked down at her delicate face, clearly exhausted yet still forcing herself to care about others. Sometimes the bond between women as friends is truly hard to understand.
He lowered his head and planted a gentle kiss on her cheek, his voice as deep as ever, "Are you hungry? What would you like to eat? I’ll make it for you."
Hearing about food, the previously listless woman suddenly brightened up, and she immediately spoke, "I want Coca Cola ribs, sour cabbage beef, Kung Pao chicken..."
Lu Jingchen saw her come alive instantly and smiled as he said, "Alright, you go to the bedroom and take a bath first, I’ll go make them now. You’ll be able to eat after your bath."
Song Qiao replied with a hum, lifted her head to kiss his chin, and said with a smile in her voice, "Thanks, hubby."
Lu Jingchen, "..." Don’t you know that kind of thing easily teases a hot-blooded man?
...
In the hospital, as soon as Ning Wan received the call, she hurried over from Song Qiao’s place. Although somewhat reluctantly, considering it was because that man saved her that he got injured, she still went straight to a restaurant on the way to buy a meal to take away.
