(Era Setting, Marriage Substitution, First Marriage Then Love, Ruthless Against Villains) After a car accident, Xia Yuhuan wakes up and realizes she has transmigrated into a novel set in the 1970s....
He only realized he was injured in Chapter 184; he was a bit fierce.
The word 'also' is used very cleverly here.
This made Chi Shaokang and his wife exchange a glance.
The two of them couldn't help but burst into laughter at the same time.
Chi Shaokang couldn't help but raise his hand and touch his nose.
Zhang Xianya replied, "What's wrong with listening to your wife?"
"Don't you know that only those who listen to their wives can get promoted, make a fortune, and earn big money?"
Yan Hu withdrew his gaze and nodded earnestly: "You're right."
Chi Shaokang is quite obedient to Zhang Xianya, isn't he? He's been laughed at a lot for being henpecked.
But over the years, he has indeed had a smooth and successful career, rising through the ranks and making many people envious.
“Xia Jianyong has been caught, so make him confess and submit to the law as soon as possible. Xiao Huan has been waiting for this day for too long. Let’s get it done quickly so she can have peace of mind,” Chi Shaokang said.
"Don't worry, I understand." Yan Hu nodded in agreement immediately.
"Oh, right, there's one more thing I need to report to you."
"During the arrest today, we discovered that besides Xia Jianyong, there were two other people with him. They were trying to take Xiao Huan away. It seems that they were the ones who orchestrated the kidnapping of Xiao Huan."
Upon hearing this, Chi Shaokang's expression immediately turned serious: "Have you caught them?"
"We caught one, but one escaped. The one who escaped was extremely capable, and I failed to catch him. It was my dereliction of duty." Yan Hu frowned, his face full of shame.
Having a sly fox watching Xia Yuhuan outside is always unsettling.
Chi Shaokang's heart sank.
He was well aware of Yan Hu's abilities. To receive a highly praised evaluation from Yan Hu meant that the person was at least at a similar level to him.
Chi Shaokang reached out and patted Yan Hu on the shoulder.
"Don't think like that. You're human, not a god. There will always be times when you can't do everything you want. That's normal."
"Didn't we catch another one? Go back and interrogate the one you caught carefully, try to get him to talk and find out who the other person is."
"Okay, then I'll be going now," Yan Hu replied immediately.
Then he turned and walked outside.
Seeing this, Xia Yuhuan quickly said, "Uncle Yan, are you leaving already? Won't you stay for a meal?"
"No, I have something to do. You've had a tough day, get some rest." Yan Hu replied and quickly left.
After he left, Chi Shaokang asked Xia Yuhuan, "Daughter, do you want to go upstairs and rest? You must be terrified today."
Xia Yuhuan blinked gently: "I was a little scared, but I feel okay."
“Now that you’re back safe and sound, I’ll head to the military base. With Xia Jianyong’s capture, there are still many things to handle,” Chi Shaokang said.
"Okay, Dad, you go ahead and do your work. I'm fine," Xia Yuhuan said quickly.
After Chi Shaokang left, Zhang Xianya felt that she was getting in the way at home and was not conducive to Chi Yanzhou and Xia Yuhuan developing their relationship, so she also made an excuse to leave.
For a moment, only Chi Yanzhou and Xia Yuhuan remained in the room.
Xia Yuhuan belatedly realized: Yan Hu and Chi Shaokang might both be busy, but Zhang Xianya was clearly making room for them.
Realizing this, Xia Yuhuan couldn't help but find it amusing.
They can't talk now, what's there to talk about?
Chi Yanzhou hasn't fully recovered yet; he's still half-crippled. She's too busy with rehabilitation and other things to have any time for romance with him.
Of course, the ambiguous contact that occurred due to the accident and the resulting emotional development were beyond her control.
“You haven’t started your rehabilitation session yet. Let’s go get some rehabilitation.” Xia Yuhuan said, and then went to push Chi Yanzhou.
"Let's stay in the guest rooms on the first floor for now, it'll be more convenient," Chi Yanzhou said.
Xia Yuhuan thought about it and had no objections.
Living on the first floor is indeed more convenient.
After all, the area is still quite underdeveloped, and there are no family-style elevators in the buildings. Chi Yanzhou hasn't fully recovered yet, so using a wheelchair would definitely be a limitation.
Living on the third floor is indeed not very friendly to Chi Yanzhou, as he can't even leave the house and his activity space is too limited.
Chi Yanzhou had been lying in that room on the third floor for almost a year. Now that he's awake, it's time for him to move to a different place and change his mood.
“Okay, then I’ll stay on the first floor for the next few days,” Xia Yuhuan agreed immediately.
Then, Xia Yuhuan called her Aunt Wang.
"Aunt Wang, please clean up that guest room on the first floor. Yan Zhou and I will be staying there for the next couple of days."
"Okay, I'll go get it right away," Aunt Wang replied immediately.
Chi Yanzhou pulled Xia Yuhuan to sit down: "There's no rush with Fujian's matter, let's sit down and wait a bit."
Xia Yuhuan was forced to sit on the sofa next to him, following his lead.
"you……"
Xia Yuhuan was about to speak when she suddenly noticed that Chi Yanzhou's aura had changed, becoming frighteningly sharp.
"You... what's wrong with you?" Xia Yuhuan stammered.
But then she saw Chi Yanzhou staring at her, slowly reaching out and gently touching her neck.
"Does it hurt?" Chi Yanzhou asked in a hoarse voice.
Xia Yuhuan wore a turtleneck sweater today, which perfectly covered her slender neck.
So much so that no one had noticed before that Xia Yuhuan's neck was injured.
It wasn't until then, when Chi Yanzhou pulled her to sit down, that he noticed the bruise on her neck when she turned her head slightly, revealing a bit of skin on the side of her neck.
"Hiss..." Xia Yuhuan suddenly felt her wound being touched and couldn't help but gasp.
She honestly replied, "It hurts a little."
She hadn't felt any pain before being touched, but now that Chi Yanzhou had touched her, the pain seemed to be released instantly, and she immediately felt the pain.
"How did you get hurt?" Chi Yanzhou asked her.
As he spoke, he reached out and pulled down her collar, leaning closer to examine the wound on her neck.
Because they were so close, the hot breath he exhaled fell on Xia Yuhuan's skin, making her shrink back uncomfortably.
"Don't move, let me check your injury." Chi Yanzhou gently cupped the back of her head and said in a low voice.
His actions brought the two of them closer together.
If Xia Yuhuan looked down, she could see his long, curled eyelashes and focused eyes.
The posture was a bit too intimate, making Xia Yuhuan feel a little embarrassed.
But she knew that Chi Yanzhou was concerned about her and didn't mean anything else.
Xia Yuhuan had no choice but to suppress her shyness and control her urge to shrink back.
She said softly, "It must have been Xia Jianyong who pinched me. I didn't feel any pain at the time, so if you hadn't mentioned it, I wouldn't have known I was injured."
Chi Yanzhou frowned: "The injured area is all purple, and you still say you don't feel anything? Don't you feel pain?"
His tone unconsciously became a few degrees more forceful.
Since Chi Yanzhou woke up, he has spoken to Xia Yuhuan with either gentleness or a smile.
Apart from when he was facing Old Master Chi and Chi Rui De, Xia Yuhuan had never seen him with a cold face.
Seeing his cold face and harsh tone, Xia Yuhuan was somewhat surprised and unhappy.
She pouted and muttered softly, "In that situation, I was so nervous that I didn't really feel any pain."
