Chapter 53: This is her man, she wasn’t wrong.

Each time she called out “Sheng Xiao,” her voice trembled. Sheng Xiao knew she was truly scared.

He held her in his arms and comforted her for a long time. Finally, Lin Yuan also cried herself to sleep.

This time, her sleep was different from before, her expression was visibly relaxed.

God knows how panicked Sheng Xiao was when he received Lin Yuan’s call last night. At that moment, he realized that Lin Yuan’s weight in his heart had become increasingly heavy.

Hearing those people’s vulgar words on the phone, Sheng Xiao wished he could tear them apart one by one.

He dropped his important international meeting and rushed back overnight.

But he was still too late.

When he arrived at the store, he saw Lin Yuan falling from the stairs.

For a moment, he was terrified like never before!

In her sleep, Lin Yuan’s brows furrowed and she whimpered. Sheng Xiao’s heart ached.

In the summer heat, Lin Yuan’s hands were icy cold. He gently held her small hand in his, warming it bit by bit, as if that would make her feel better.

During this time, An Jinghao called several times, but Sheng Xiao didn’t answer any of them.

Several men surrounded An Jinghao, anxiously asking, “Mr. An, how is she?”

An Jinghao said, “I told you guys, you’re all idiots!”

He knew he should have said directly that the woman was untouchable, instead of saying she was married.

These brainless things, starved for anything, even touch a woman with a man!

Third brother didn’t even answer the phone, clearly furious.

If he just scolded him, it would be fine. But this silent, indifferent attitude actually proves that there is no room for maneuver in this matter.

Gao Feng tried to probe for information, “Young Master An, that woman acted like a chaste woman, we didn’t even touch her, who is the person behind her?”

An Jinghao was too lazy to talk to them, “Who is she? Even your father would kneel down and kowtow to her!”

He finished speaking and left, leaving a group of wastrels trembling in place.

An Jinghao drove to the hospital. To avoid his anger affecting him, he specially went to pick up Chen Jianan. Last time in the suburbs, Chen Jianan and Lin Yuan seemed to get along well. With her around, the atmosphere would be somewhat relaxed.

Perhaps because she knew Sheng Xiao was by her side, Lin Yuan slept exceptionally soundly this time. When she woke up, Sheng Xiao was standing by the window making a phone call.

He hadn’t had time to change clothes, he must have been guarding her all this time.

Thinking back to the phone call last night, and how he was still on a business trip in Beijing, Lin Yuan didn’t know how he managed to come back so quickly.

She also didn’t know if his work was delayed, or if his superiors would scold him.

Having just experienced a disaster, Lin Yuan didn’t even worry about her own body, but instead worried about Sheng Xiao first.

Sheng Xiao heard the noise and turned around, seeing Lin Yuan looking at him intently. He ended the call, put down the phone, and sat down beside her, “Did I wake you?”

Lin Yuan shook her head and opened her arms to him, “Hug.”

Her emotions had improved a lot. Sheng Xiao sat on the bed, pulled her into his arms, and stroked her head with his big hand, “Are you feeling uncomfortable anywhere?”

“No.”

Yesterday, she had already been a little dizzy from drinking, plus she hit her head on the wall, and in a daze, she stepped on air. The stairs were made of wood, so there wasn’t much damage, but she fainted because of the mental stress.

The physical injuries weren’t serious.

She looked up at him, “Sheng Xiao, will your work be affected by you rushing back like this?”

Sheng Xiao’s eyes were fixed on her, this silly girl, at this time, she’s still worried about him.

He kissed her brow, “It’s okay, I finished my work anyway. I was actually planning to come back yesterday.”

Lin Yuan felt slightly relieved. Shengshi’s work was hard-earned, if she caused Sheng Xiao to lose his job because of her, she would feel guilty. Moreover, Sheng Xiao’s family might have some disabled people to take care of…

Sheng Xiao didn’t know what she was thinking. He saw her frown for a while, then relax again, and squeezed her fingers, “Next time you face something like this, your safety is the most important.”

Lin Yuan couldn’t help but look up at him. Don’t men care about a woman’s chastity? He…

Sheng Xiao’s expression was serious, “Lin Yuan, in my eyes, your life is more important than anything!”

A tear rolled down her cheek. Lin Yuan buried her face in Sheng Xiao’s chest, biting her lip and silently reddening her eyes. No one had ever said such words to her before.

In the past, Lin Zhenghai would only say, “Being obedient is important.”

In school, the teacher said, “Studying is important.”

At work, the boss would only say, “Performance is important.”

But now Sheng Xiao said, “Lin Yuan, your life is more important than anything!”

A warm current flowed through her heart, sour, but she relished it. This is her man, she wasn’t wrong.

Sheng Xiao lifted Lin Yuan’s chin with one hand and gently kissed away the tears on her face. As their lips intertwined, the door to the ward was knocked from the outside.

Lin Yuan quickly retreated from his embrace. Sheng Xiao felt a void in his arms and chuckled softly. When he looked towards the door, his expression changed. Who was so clueless!

He walked to the door, just opened it, and An Jinghao’s dry smiling face appeared. He rolled his eyes at him, making way for him to enter.

Chen Jianan followed him in.

“Yuan, are you feeling better?” Chen Jianan put the things for visiting the sick aside and sat worriedly by her bed.

Lin Yuan felt a little embarrassed. Although she and Chen Jianan got along pretty well, they had only met once. To come and see her with all these gifts made her feel a bit overwhelmed.

“Sister Jianan, you’ve gone to so much trouble.”

Chen Jianan knew that Lin Yuan wasn’t someone who liked to owe favors. She smiled, “Yuan, actually, a friend of mine is hospitalized here. Haozi and I saw Mr. Sheng and learned you weren’t feeling well. Don’t mind that I came suddenly.”

Lin Yuan quickly waved her hand, “No, no, not at all.”

Her eyes swept over An Jinghao, who had entered and sat on the sofa. He didn’t look as arrogant as usual, but rather like he was guilty, looking at Lin Yuan for a while, then sneaking a glance at Sheng Xiao.

When Lin Yuan looked over, she met his gaze. He smiled uncomfortably.

Sheng Xiao glared at him, walked to Lin Yuan’s bedside, “You two chat for a while, I’m going out for a smoke.”

An Jinghao followed Sheng Xiao to the safety passageway. He had the sense to hand Sheng Xiao a cigarette and light it for him, “Third brother, is there any room for negotiation in this matter?”

Those people are after all the top businessmen in Yancheng, if you offend them all, it’s going to be hard to walk this path in Yancheng in the future.

Sheng Xiao took a puff of smoke, his eyes cold, without a trace of warmth, “Haozi, do you think my temper has softened these past few years?”
