Chapter 458 Carrying into the room

He carried her to the bedroom and gently placed her on the soft big bed.

The moment he put her down, she unconsciously shrank into the quilt and let out a satisfied moan.

Chi Wenyan stood beside the bed, leaning over to look at her. The coldness in his eyes had long since melted away, leaving only lingering tenderness.

He took off her shoes, pulled the quilt over her, carefully covered her with it, and tucked in the corners.

He didn't leave immediately, but just stood by the bed and looked at her quietly for a long time.

After making sure that she was sleeping soundly, he leaned over and placed a very light and soft kiss on her forehead, filled with infinite cherishment and pity.

"Wanwan, sleep well."

He whispered, his voice hoarse so only he could hear it.

He stood up, took one last look at her sleeping face, then turned around, tiptoed out of the bedroom, and closed the door. He didn't leave.

Instead, he walked to the sofa in the living room and sat down without turning on the lights, allowing the darkness to swallow him up, leaving only a pair of eyes flashing with complex light in the darkness.

The east was already bright, and the morning light was filtering through the gaps in the curtains. Chi Wenyan opened his eyes on the sofa, and the complex light in his eyes faded, leaving only clarity and determination.

He got up quietly without disturbing Ji Wan who was sleeping soundly in the bedroom. The softness in his heart was replaced by another kind of anxiety.

It's almost time.

He must go to the hospital immediately!

The overwhelming aura swept through his body again, even more fierce than before.

He strode out of Ji Wan's apartment and drove straight to the hospital.

The morning mist had not yet dissipated, but his car was like a black lightning, tearing through the tranquility.

The unique smell of disinfectant in the hospital hits you in the face. Medical staff are hurrying in the corridor, and the patients' families have worried expressions on their faces.

Chi Wenyan's heart tightened inch by inch. He quickened his pace and walked straight to Nian Nian's intensive care unit.

"Mr. Chi?"

A familiar yet somewhat panicked voice sounded behind him.

Chi Wenyan paused and slowly turned around. He saw Zhao Xiyue standing not far away. Her face was as pale as paper, her eyes were sunken, and her hair was messy. Her former brilliance was gone, leaving only fear and despair.

When she saw Chi Wenyan, she staggered forward a few steps as if she had grabbed the last straw.

"Why are you here?" Chi Wenyan's dark pupils suddenly contracted, emitting a cold light like an ice blade, and his voice was as cold as ice, without a trace of warmth.

He had no good feelings towards this woman, especially after what she had done to him before.

Zhao Xiyue shuddered at his cold gaze, her lips trembling, and she could hardly utter a complete sentence: "I came to see Nian Nian, Nian Nian she..."

"Go away." Chi Wenyan was too lazy to waste words with her. He just wanted to confirm Nian Nian's safety.

"No! Mr. Chi, Wen Yan!" Zhao Xiyue saw him leaving and rushed forward, trying to grab his arm, but was forced back half a step by his fierce momentum. She didn't care about anything else, her voice hoarse and filled with tears: "Please, please save Nian Nian! I know I was wrong, I really know I was wrong."

Chi Wenyan stared at her coldly, his impatience and disgust growing stronger. "Nian Nian has a doctor to take care of her, there's no need for you to be so hypocritical."

"No! The doctor said Nian Nian's condition is very dangerous and they may be helpless!"

Zhao Xiyue's tears burst out, and she suddenly grabbed her hair, as if she had fallen into an extreme collapse. "Only Su Jiujiu! Only Su Jiujiu can save Nian Nian. Wen Yan, you must find a way to find her, right? Please, for the sake of my help in the past..."

"Fellowship?" Chi Wenyan sneered, but the smile did not reach his eyes, instead making the air around him a little colder. "Zhao Xiyue, you want to talk to me about friendship?"

Every word he spoke was like an icicle piercing Zhao Xiyue's heart.

Zhao Xiyue was completely defeated by the mockery and coldness in his eyes. She knew that what she had done in the past did not deserve any affection at all.

Her legs went soft and with a plop, she actually knelt down in front of Chi Wenyan!

"I was wrong! I was blinded by greed before! I shouldn't have plotted against you and shouldn't have indirectly hurt Ji Wan. It's all my fault!"

Her forehead hit the cold floor tiles, banging against them again and again, making a dull sound.

"As long as you can find Su Jiujiu and save Nian Nian, I'll do anything for you. I apologize to Ji Wan, I apologize to everyone! I kowtow to you, please..."

Her crying and kowtowing were particularly abrupt in the silent corridor, attracting a few glances.

Chi Wenyan looked down at her condescendingly, his eyes showing no emotion, only piercing disgust and scrutiny. He knew that Zhao Xiyue's humility at this moment was not a result of true repentance, but because Nian Nian's illness had left her with nowhere to go.

"Your apology is worthless." He said coldly, his voice without a trace of emotion.

Zhao Xiyue's body froze, the blood drained from her face, leaving only a dead despair.

But, Nian Nian...

Chi Wenyan's fists clenched quietly at his side. Ji Wan had endured so much for Nian Nian.

He couldn't let anything happen to Nian Nian.

He pressed his thin lips into a cold, hard straight line, and every word seemed to be squeezed out from between his teeth: "Where is Su Jiujiu?"

He didn't say forgiveness, nor did he say he would help her. He just wanted to know Su Jiujiu's whereabouts, for Nian Nian and Ji Wan.

When Zhao Xiyue heard him ask Su Jiujiu, a strong light of survival suddenly burst out in her dim eyes. She raised her head and crawled like a drowning person who had grabbed a piece of driftwood, and spoke anxiously.

"I really don't know."

If she knew, she would definitely ask him to rescue Nian Nian immediately.

No one hopes more than she does that Nian Nian will get better.

Chi Wenyan leaned over, close to her face, his deep eyes like a bottomless cold pool, his voice low, but with thunderous pressure: "Zhao Xiyue, you are not qualified to negotiate with me."

His voice suddenly turned cruel, "If you plot against me again, I will let you know what it means to live a life worse than death."

Zhao Xiyue was frightened out of her wits by the terrifying aura emanating from him. She no longer dared to hesitate and spoke in a trembling voice.

"Yes, I understand."

Zhao Xiyue was trembling all over, and her voice was as thin as a mosquito. "Yes, I understand."

Chi Wenyan swept his cold gaze over her and was about to turn around when he suddenly heard hurried footsteps and exclamations from the ward area at the end of the corridor.

“Hurry! Hurry!”

"Cardiac arrest! Prepare for rescue!"

Those voices, filled with anxiety and panic, instantly broke the silence in the corridor.

Chi Wenyan turned around suddenly and saw the ward where Nian Nian was.

His heart suddenly tightened, and an ominous premonition wrapped around him like a cold vine.

Zhao Xiyue also heard the noise, and her stiff body instantly collapsed. She ignored the pain in her knees and scrambled towards the source of the sound. "Niannian, it's Niannian!"
