Chapter 161 Don't Blame Yourself

It really is said that old ginger is still spicy.

Mr. Xie, you are indeed Mr. Xie.

With just a few words, he easily brought the favorable situation that Jiang Wenzhou had just established back to the original problem.

"yes……"

Someone murmured again.

"Mr. Xie is right. Without the newlyweds present at the engagement party, what's the point of the elders on both sides saying all sorts of eloquent things?"

Seeing that Xie Kaiwen, who had been defeated beside Mr. Xie, suddenly regained his spirits.

Jiang Wenzhou, who was standing opposite them, had a gleam in his eyes, and for a moment no one knew what he was thinking.

Seeing this, Xie Kaiwen couldn't help but shout again: "Yes, nephew, look at my grandfather, he has hit the nail on the head."

"Just ask the Jiang family's daughter...!"

"Here it is."

A light yet powerful female voice was heard from the door of the banquet hall.

Such an abrupt voice made the joy on Xie Kaiwen's face stiffen again before he could even fully reveal it.

Everyone was surprised for a moment and looked in the direction of the voice.

He saw that it was Jiang Wanning sitting in a wheelchair, being pushed by Xie Yanchuan, and walked into the banquet hall with graceful steps.

That beautiful face, which bore a striking resemblance to Jiang Wenzhou, smiled playfully at everyone. "I'm so sorry, everyone. I'm not feeling well. I just had a sudden illness and had to go to the hospital."

"I'm late, please forgive me."

…

It was about three hours ago.

After Jiang Wanning was rescued from the underground warehouse by Xie Yanchuan, her face was pale and covered in blood, which almost scared Fang Qiu, who had been waiting outside, to death.

He was thankful that Xie Yanchuan had foreseen the situation and had prepared an ambulance outside in advance, and he also hurriedly welcomed the two of them into the ambulance.

"Brother! Oh my God! What happened? How did Sister Wan Ning get so badly injured?!"

Fang Qiu's subsequent words of shock finally ended in embarrassment under Xie Yanchuan's cold gaze.

"The patient's wound was very deep, but fortunately he was sent to the hospital in time. He is currently in a coma due to excessive blood loss. He is not seriously injured and should wake up soon."

Upon hearing this result, almost everyone present breathed a sigh of relief.

Especially Xie Yanchuan, he silently grasped Fang Qiu's excited arm, his fingertips even trembling slightly unconsciously.

"Fang Qiu, I'll take Ningning to the hospital first. I'll leave the aftermath to you."

This was probably the first time Fang Qiu felt this kind of emotion from Xie Yanchuan.

The extreme fear of losing and regaining something made even a person like him almost unable to control himself and reveal his broken emotions.

"good."

Fang Qiu's throat tightened for a moment. After responding to this sentence, he hurried back to the warehouse.

At that moment, he was thinking that perhaps from the very beginning, he seemed to have underestimated Xie Yanchuan's regard for Jiang Wanning.

So whether the reunion on that snowy night was a coincidence or the latter's deliberate act, probably only Xie Yanchuan himself knew.

…

About an hour ago.

Jiang Wanning finally woke up from her coma.

As she saw a sea of ​​incandescent color, she also felt a tremendous pain all over her body as if she had been run over by a truck.

The moment she subconsciously struggled to get up, she felt a huge pulling force on her right side.

When Jiang Wanning opened her eyes, she met Xie Yanchuan's eyes, which were obviously filled with deep worry.

The man was still wearing the suit he wore this morning, but his previous refinement and elegance were long gone.

At this moment, he was half leaning on the back of the chair next to the bed, his handsome eyebrows were deeply frowned, and he looked unusually embarrassed.

"I'm so thirsty." Meeting Xie Yanchuan's gaze, Jiang Wanning blinked at him innocently.

Xie Yanchuan: “…”

The man's words of blame were about to come out of his mouth, but they were stuck in his mouth.

He rolled his Adam's apple and finally walked towards the table with a glass of water beside him with a resigned look on his face.

"The doctor said you lost a lot of blood. You just woke up and drank some water."

"But I'm really thirsty." Jiang Wanning felt like the sky was falling.

Perhaps it was because of excessive blood loss, Jiang Wanning felt that all the water in her body had been drained, especially her throat, which was extremely thirsty at the moment.

"Just give me a little drink."

If she continued to go without a drop of water, Jiang Wanning was afraid that she would not die from excessive blood loss, but from dehydration.

She lay on the hospital bed, wailing weakly.

She tried to awaken even a little bit of "softness" in Xie Yanchuan, and sure enough, the next second, she felt some wetness on her lips.

It's water.

Jiang Wanning opened her eyes in surprise, only to see Xie Yanchuan lowering his eyes and gently applying water to her chapped lips with a cotton swab.

The wet and cool feeling on her lips inexplicably relieved Jiang Wanning's anxious mood caused by excessive dehydration.

She stared at Xie Yanchuan's inexplicably depressed look and tilted her head innocently again: "Are you angry with me, Xie Yanchuan?"

Xie Yanchuan continued to wipe with the cotton swab, but he did not show any emotion when he heard the voice: "No."

"I'll never be mad at you."

"Then why do you look unhappy?"

The man paused for a moment before answering again, "I blame myself."

His lowered eyes flickered for a moment, and he finally raised them to meet Jiang Wanning's again: "If I had been more resolute at the time, you wouldn't have been injured so badly."

"If I could have dealt with Meng Zhenyue as soon as possible, perhaps this incident wouldn't have happened in the first place..."

Xie Yanchuan's voice stopped abruptly.

Feeling the softness on his lips, he looked up in obvious surprise and met Jiang Wanning's equally sparkling eyes.

"Shh, thank you Yanchuan."

"Don't blame yourself anymore. At least I'm fine now. Isn't that enough?"

Her slender, white, and slightly cool fingertips gently touched Xie Yanchuan's lips. The atmosphere between the two seemed to become ambiguous at this moment.

The look in Xie Yanchuan's eyes became noticeably deeper.

But at this moment, the tightly closed door of the ward was suddenly opened from the outside.

"Brother! What's going on with the engagement party? It's already this late, why don't you go back and take a look?"

Xie Yanchuan: “…”

The moment the door opened, Fang Qiu was obviously a little surprised when he met Jiang Wanning's awake gaze.

The surroundings fell into silence again.

Xie Yanchuan's brows, which had been somewhat relaxed, were furrowed again because of his thoughtless words.

"Fang Qiu!"

So much so that when he spoke again, his tone was even a little bit gnashing of teeth.

"Won't you knock before you come in?"
