Chapter 52: Xiang Wanqiao Wakes Up

Two days later.

The morning sun streamed through the glass window, illuminating the entire ward warmly and softly.

Xiang Wanqiao slowly opened her eyes. The first thing she saw was the white ceiling above her head, followed by the pungent smell of disinfectant.

She swallowed her dry throat and tilted her head to look to the side.

Gu Jingzhan was sleeping on the bed, his back hunched, holding her hand.

Xiang Wanqiao stared at him, gently pulling her hand away, and then stroked his handsome eyebrows.

She gently traced them with her fingertips, and Gu Jingzhan woke up.

He was stunned for a moment, then immediately jumped up, holding her hand tightly, a hint of excitement in his voice. Qiaoqiao, are you awake?

Yeah.

Are you feeling uncomfortable anywhere? Does the wound hurt? Gu Jingzhan asked nervously.

Xiang Wanqiao shook her head and stroked his face with her hand.

Gu Jingzhan had lost a lot of weight in just a few days.

His hair was messy, his beard unkempt, his eyes were visibly bruised, his eyeballs bloodshot, and his face was haggard.

She said in a hoarse voice, Gu Jingzhan, you look so ugly now.

Although she spoke with disgust, her eyes were filled with heartache.

Gu Jingzhan’s eyes turned red for a moment. He put her palm against his face, his voice slightly wet. Will Qiaoqiao dislike me?

Xiang Wanqiao’s eyes were also wet, and she joked, if you continue to be so ugly, I will definitely dislike you.

I will clean myself up in a while, Qiaoqiao. Don’t dislike me.

As he said that, tears welled up in Gu Jingzhan’s eyes.

Qiaoqiao, promise me that you will never do such a dangerous thing as blocking a gun again. I can’t bear to see you get hurt, even for me.

But if I don’t do this, you will be the one who gets hurt. Xiang Wanqiao wiped the tears from his face. Ah Zhan, I can’t bear to see you get hurt either.

Qiaoqiao!

Gu Jingzhan, I know you love me very much. But I hope you know that I love you too.

Gu Jingzhan’s heart suddenly beat violently, and his lips moved. Qiaoqiao…

Xiang Wanqiao pressed her fingertips against his lips. Since you love me and can give your life for me, then I love you and can also give my life for you.

Gu Jingzhan frowned, obviously disagreeing with her last sentence.

He took her hand away and said, But I…

I’m hungry and thirsty. Xiang Wanqiao interrupted him again.

Gu Jingzhan sighed helplessly, then rocked the bed and carefully fed her water, saying, I’ll have someone send some food over later.

Xiang Wanqiao nodded and added, By the way, have someone send some clean clothes over for you. Take a good bath. You stink.

Gu Jingzhan chuckled, his eyes full of doting and love. Okay.

Fu Shaoyan received the news that Xiang Wanqiao had woken up and immediately came to the hospital with the things she needed.

As soon as he came in, he asked with concern, Sister Wanqiao, how are you feeling now?

Xiang Wanqiao raised her eyebrows when she heard him calling her by this name, and asked back, Sister? Mr. Fu, are you calling me?

Fu Shaoyan touched his nose awkwardly, laughed dryly twice, and said with a little more respect, Sister Wanqiao, I have offended you before. Please forgive me.

Mr. Fu, you are joking. I am not an adult. I am just a little woman.

Xiang Wanqiao deliberately teased Fu Shaoyan to relieve his boredom.

Gu Jingzhan heard it but said nothing. He just served Xiang Wanqiao breakfast.

Fu Shaoyan coughed and said, In the past, I heard a lot of bad comments about you, and I had some misunderstandings about you, so I was prejudiced against you.

Suddenly, he changed the subject, directly blaming Qi Xiaoyi and Lu Qingzhou in China.

In fact, this matter is mainly to blame those two bastards Lu Qingzhou and Qi Xiaoyi. They always say bad things about you in my ears, which makes me misunderstand you.

Xiang Wanqiao lowered her eyes and said in a low voice, In fact, it is not a misunderstanding. After all, what I did before does fit the image of a bad woman in their mouths.

Gu Jingzhan looked at her and said softly, No, Qiaoqiao will always be the most beautiful existence in the world.

After that, he scooped up a spoonful of porridge and put it to his mouth to cool it down, then fed it to her mouth.

Fu Shaoyan followed up and responded, that’s right, sister Wanqiao is beautiful and generous, gentle and virtuous, and she is definitely not a bad woman in their mouths.

I don’t know if it’s because Gu Jingzhan is there, but Fu Shaoyan’s words are a bit flattering.

Xiang Wanqiao smiled softly and didn’t say anything.

The atmosphere was silent for a moment.

Xiang Wanqiao changed the subject. By the way, have those people been caught? Have you found the mastermind behind this?

Fu Shaoyan shook his head, a little frustrated. No, we have been investigating these days, but they seem to have disappeared in Europe, and we can’t find any clues about them.

It seems that they are not simple. Xiang Wanqiao frowned and thought.

Gu Jingzhan didn’t want her to get involved in these things, so he interrupted her thoughts directly. You don’t have to worry about these things.

Fu Shaoyan and Collins will handle them, and your most important task now is to take care of your body.

Fu Shaoyan nodded and agreed, yes, sister Wanqiao, we will handle these things.

Xiang Wanqiao knew what they were thinking; they just didn’t want her to be involved.

But this matter concerns Gu Jingzhan, and it is also related to the mysterious power behind Xiao Xuan and Lu Siwei, so she had to investigate it clearly.

But in order to reassure Gu Jingzhan, she had to respond, Okay, I don’t care.

After breakfast.

Gu Jingzhan listened to Xiang Wanqiao’s words, took his change of clothes and went into the bathroom to take a good bath.

While he was taking a shower, Fu Shaoyan had some heart-to-heart talks with Xiang Wanqiao.

Before, Brother Zhan said that you had changed. I, like Lu Qingzhou and Qi Xiaoyi, didn’t dare to believe it. But after you took the bullet for Brother Zhan this time, I believed it.

Fu Shaoyan put away his joking look and said to her seriously.

Sister-in-law, Brother Zhan really loves you. I have known him for so many years. He is very cold to anyone and anything. I have never seen him cry so sadly like this time.

Xiang Wanqiao felt a pang of pain in her heart.

Fu Shaoyan said again, we used to think that a man like him would not fall in love with any woman. It was not until he met you that we realized how uncalm, irrational, and subjective he was.

Finally, he said, maybe he used the wrong method to treat you at the beginning, but I still hope that you can love him well and don’t hurt him recklessly again.

Xiang Wanqiao nodded with tears in her eyes and responded,

Don’t worry, I will love him well.
