Chapter 96 Chapter 96 "Ms. Yao, you are going in the wrong direction. ...

Shen Xingchuan, who had just been good-tempered and hadn't fought back or retaliated, this time grabbed her ankle tightly and said with a half-smile, "Xia Xia, this isn't the place."

After saying that, he bent down and kissed her calf.

Yao Yingxia watched him sucking the water droplets on her skin like the most devout believer, and felt that this world was absurd to the extreme.

How can someone be so crazy?

After pushing himself to the brink of collapse, Shen Xingchuan remained calm as if nothing had happened, making people feel like they had punched cotton.

He is so arrogant.

Yao Yingxia kicked forward and Shen Xingchuan lay back on the wet floor, and then his neck was stepped on.

Looking at Yao Yingxia from this angle wasn't a good look. The overhead light strip bathed her in light, making her already fair skin glow even brighter. Her waist seemed even thinner, while her breasts appeared fuller.

Shen Xingchuan's Adam's apple moved, and his eyes darkened considerably. His reaction was almost immediate. Unfortunately, Yao Yingxia didn't notice, still lost in her urge to retaliate.

The carotid artery under the sole of her foot was still beating strongly, and no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't make the pulse weaken even a little.

Shen Xingchuan's face was slightly flushed, which made him look even more hideous.

Even at this time, he still had the mood to touch her calves. His broad palms almost completely covered her calves, lingering like the ghost of its owner.

The disgust on Yao Yingxia's face was too obvious. Shen Xingchuan explained considerately, "Xia Xia, I'm just worried you'd fall."

But the temperature of his palm was already frighteningly high. Yao Yingxia realized something, lowered her head and looked back, and sure enough, she saw that his pajamas were stretched out of shape.

Yao Yingxia first felt a tingling sensation in her spine, and then she was so angry that she couldn't speak. In the end, she just loosened her feet, wrapped herself with a bath towel, and left the bathroom without looking back.

The hot mist quickly disappeared, and he was still savoring the joy of being stepped on by Yao Yingxia. The docile rabbit was so cute when it was occasionally angry. He didn't mind that Yao Yingxia had more serious violent tendencies.

Before he caught a cold, Shen Xingchuan finally sat up from the floor. When he returned to the ward, Yao Yingxia had already wrapped herself in the quilt, not even a hair showing.

He thought it was funny and wanted to remind her that sleeping like this would cause her to suffer from oxygen deprivation, but when he thought about how Yao Yingxia would be so angry that she wouldn't be able to sleep, he decided not to say anything.

Shen Xingchuan took off his wet pajamas, cleaned them up a bit, changed into a new set, and then went to see her.

Perhaps because she was extremely tired and felt bored, Yao Yingxia fell asleep faster than usual.

Shen Xingchuan gently pulled down the quilt that she was holding in her hand, saving her head from being on the verge of suffocation. Yao Yingxia's face turned pale and her brows were deeply wrinkled.

He whispered "idiot" and rubbed it to smooth out the wrinkle, but it was of no use.

The next morning, Yao Yingxia was the first to wake up. She glanced at her watch. It was 7:46 AM, just in time. She dressed quietly and waited until Xiao An's shift was over before leaving the ward.

There was still someone following closely behind her. Yao Yingxia had already gotten used to it. After entering Xu Nian's ward, she finally breathed a sigh of relief.

But the next second she was hugged tightly in someone's arms.

The man in the black suit in front of her was not unfamiliar. She had seen him twice in the past few days. Yao Yingxia struggled silently, but Xiao An refused to let go until she was completely exhausted. She buried her face in his chest and asked, "Are you satisfied?"

She had a cool, pine-like scent, the same as Shen Xingchuan's. Xiao An couldn't help but wonder, did he sleep with his sister in his arms last night? On such a small bed?

The pain in his eyes quickly intensified, becoming overwhelming and bottomless. When Yao Yingxia looked up, she could see it clearly.

She suddenly reached out and grabbed Xiao An's shirt collar, pulling him down. The two of them were like wounded animals, licking each other's wounds, lips and teeth entangled, inseparable.

The ward was so quiet that apart from each other's breathing and heartbeats, no other sounds could be heard.

Until someone walked to the door and gently turned the doorknob.

The two people opened their eyes at the same time. Yao Yingxia suddenly had the urge to give up, until the medical equipment on Xu Nian's body beeped regularly, she suddenly woke up and took a step back.

The moment the nurse pushed the door open, he only saw Xiao An's back. He blocked Yao Yingxia tightly and had time to stretch out his fingers to wipe the wet marks on her lips before turning to look at the door.

After discovering it was Aunt Liu, the nurse, they both breathed a sigh of relief. Xiao An didn't stay any longer: "I'll come back another day."

Aunt Liu watched him leave and said with a smile, "Mr. Xiao is really loyal and righteous. He often came here before you had a holiday." This is rare for a distant cousin with whom you are not very close.

Then her eyes fell on Yao Yingxia's face: "Miss Yao, you look so good today."

Her lips were rarely this red, like ripe berries, looking fragrant and sweet.

Yao Yingxia resisted the urge to cover her lips and changed the subject: "Sister Zhao didn't come today?"

There are usually two nurses in the ward to ensure that even if someone goes out temporarily, there will always be someone by Xu Nian's side.

But there is none today, which is so strange.

Aunt Liu nodded and said, "Xiao Zhao suddenly took a leave of absence. I just went to get the new test results." Then she handed the paper report in her hand to her.

Yao Yingxia took a closer look. Xu Nian's indicators weren't exactly improving, but they weren't getting any worse. She could occasionally move her fingers or frown, but she still showed no signs of waking up.

The hope that she once had was gradually worn away, and Yao Yingxia's only hope now was that her mother was still alive.

She stayed in Xu Nian's ward until late at night, showing no signs of leaving. The bodyguard had come in twice to urge her to leave, hinting that it was getting late and Mr. Shen was still waiting for her.

Yao Yingxia remained indifferent until the small print on the exercise booklet began to become blurred and she could hardly open her eyes. Then she packed up and went out. After entering the elevator, she pressed the down button.

The two bodyguards looked at each other, not knowing whether they should stop her. After all, the orders they received did not restrict Miss Yao's personal freedom, but Mr. Shen was still waiting for her to return to the ward.

It wasn't until Yao Yingxia was about to walk out of the inpatient department's door that someone reached out to stop her. The other person politely reminded her, "Miss Yao, you're going in the wrong direction."

Because of Xiao An, she could understand the situation of the two bodyguards very well. They were just following orders, and the final decision still lay with Shen Xingchuan.

So she stopped and asked calmly, "I want to go home and live there, is that okay?"

One of them immediately called Shen Xingchuan and told him what she had said. After a moment, she finally said, "Mr. Shen agreed. I will drive you home."

After not coming back for half a month, Yao Yingxia keenly noticed the changes in the living room. The single sofa that they had soiled had been moved away long ago, and the vacancy had never been filled. Now the whole set had been replaced with a new one.

The new off-white sofa looked like a fluffy cloud, a stark contrast to the cold, hard black design of the previous one. Yao Yingxia took a few more glances, then walked into the bedroom and closed the door.

It was a rare opportunity to have two days of peace and quiet, and she just wanted to stay as far away from Shen Xingchuan as possible, so she simply didn't go out.

As the Lunar New Year approached, a cleaning team arrived the next day for a thorough cleanup. Every corner of the house was spotless, even the dozen or so pots of jasmine that Shen Xingchuan had given her had been meticulously wiped, leaving every leaf as glossy and clean as new.

During her absence, Shen Xingchuan also took good care of the jasmine. Yao Yingxia even overheard him on the phone asking how to change the soil and how to apply fertilizer.

He understood that raising flowers is like raising people, and vice versa, but when it came to the issue of Yao Yingxia, Shen Xingchuan refused to give in at all.

He knew very well that once he started compromising, he would be compromising more than just one thing. Rather than letting his Jasmine be tainted by someone else's scent, it would be better to be a bad guy from beginning to end.

At least he wasn't completely crazy yet.

During the time when Yao Yingxia was not in the hospital, she was still under his control. Hidden cameras were installed in every corner of the house, and her every move was under surveillance. Yao Yingxia thought she had gained a brief and precious freedom, but it was always only relative freedom.

Apart from attending remote meetings, approving documents and necessary rest time, Shen Xingchuan almost always watched the surveillance. Yao Yingxia's life was repetitive and there was no novelty at all. She slept when she was sleepy and went to the study to study when she woke up. The chef came to cook at a fixed time. She only ate a little like a rabbit and was easy to feed.

In the past, Shen Xingchuan found it difficult to understand those idle people who were addicted to short videos, thinking that it was a pure waste of time. Now, his new assistant also finds it difficult to understand why the boss would stare at the back of the head in the surveillance camera for half a day, and occasionally reveal an intriguing smile.

Maybe successful people all have some unique quirks, and the assistant could only comfort himself in this way.

This unrestrained life lasted for a few days, and Yao Yingxia's daily routine gradually became chaotic. One night when everything was quiet, she unsurprisingly suffered from insomnia.

At two in the morning, Yao Yingxia couldn't sleep and sat up in bed. The heating at home was turned up too high, and she felt stuffy and hot, so she wanted to go to the balcony to get some fresh air.

As soon as she opened the curtains, Yao Yingxia met the eyes of a figure on the balcony. The figure was wearing a black hood that only appeared in police and gangster movies, with a pair of white eyes exposed. If it had not suddenly appeared in the middle of the night, it would have been ridiculous.

But Yao Yingxia really couldn't laugh. Before she was scared to death, she first checked whether the balcony door was locked.

After noticing her actions, the other party suddenly started banging on the glass frantically, as if trying to break in through the window.

Yao Yingxia was very glad that she didn't get so scared that she could only scream, but instead quickly turned around and ran away. When she came to her senses, she had already run into the second bedroom and locked the door.

Almost at the same time, Yao Yingxia heard the sound of glass breaking. She hurried into the independent bathroom in the second bedroom and locked it again.

Soon she heard the sound of a blunt object hitting the door panel, which coincided with a moment deep in her memory. Many years ago, Yao Qihang had also used a kitchen knife to try to chop open the door that was protecting her.

Yao Yingxia was young and weak back then, and at this moment, she still had no power to protect herself, so anyone could hurt her without restraint.

Yao Yingxia curled up in the corner next to the bathtub, burying her face in her knees.
