Chapter 99 Where is your injury?

The driver understood what Mr. Zhan meant and, after thinking about it, drove directly to a small clinic nearby.

Zhan Lintian specifically asked the doctor to wrap him with more gauze.

The doctor didn't understand but respected the decision, after all, Zhan Lintian had paid for it, so he could be wrapped up like a mummy if he wanted!

As soon as the wound was bandaged, he took a picture and sent it to Jiang Xia.

Jiang Xia's eyelids twitched when he saw the small image, and when he clicked on the large image, his breath caught in his throat for a moment.

It was clear that Zhan Lintian's entire right hand was covered with gauze.

His voice was strained: "What happened?"

Zhan Lintian reassured him in a seemingly relaxed manner, "There may be some swelling, but there are no open wounds. Don't worry, I'm taking care of it. I won't catch any diseases from Wu Ming."

"It has nothing to do with this. I'm just glad you're alright." Jiang Xia lowered his eyes, thought for a moment, and then said, "You should get some rest. I'm going back to Mengcheng tomorrow."

Zhan Lintian's attempt to gain sympathy worked, and Jiang Xia's heart leaned towards him.

Wu Zhou, who was with Jiang Xia, twitched at the corner of his mouth. This guy... fooled Jiang Xia with just a few words.

Jiang Xia didn't notice Wu Zhou's expression at the moment; all he could think about was that Wu Ming was mentally ill.

Mr. Zhan was feeling quite pleased with himself, and softened his voice: "Then... I'll wait for you at home."

He added, "I'm sorry to have worried you."

Jiang Xia said, "You should get some rest."

Zhan Lintian replied: "Good night."

After hanging up the video call, Wu Zhou took the opportunity to comfort Jiang Xia: "They fought? Don't worry too much about Zhan Lintian, he shouldn't be hurt by Wu Ming."

Jiang Xia nodded, thinking that the injury shouldn't be too serious, but in reality, something went wrong... Zhan Lintian's injury looked quite serious, with his entire hand wrapped in gauze.

Seeing this, Wu Zhou took the empty porcelain bowl from Jiang Xia's hand: "Are you still hungry? Do you want something else to eat? I'll take it to you tomorrow."

He could only send people over, but he didn't have time to accompany Jiang Xia for the time being.

My assistant just sent me a message saying that Wu Ming collapsed due to low blood sugar and was admitted to the hospital. Wu Zhou plans to go see Wu Ming.

Mr. Zhan's punch was perfectly timed, knocking out Wu Ming, who was stubbornly refusing to leave. His assistant then dragged him to the hospital to save his life.

Even after fainting, Wu Ming still hoped that Jiang Xia would come to see him.

This trick of his had always worked before, and Jiang Xia was most afraid of losing his life.

As he murmured, he heard his assistant making a phone call to someone, and vaguely heard the other person say: "Come over tomorrow."

Wu Ming was finally relieved and fell asleep.

Jiang Xia also fell asleep quickly.

He was very tired and sleepy that day. As long as no one was talking to him, he would fall asleep while sitting.

Wu Zhou seized upon this point, and after Jiang Xia washed up, he led his men to bed.

The next day, in the early morning, as dawn was breaking.

Jiang Xia was half asleep and half awake.

Seeing that he was turning over, Wu Zhou gently hugged him, patted Jiang Xia's back lightly, and coaxed him in a lazy voice, "Sleep a little longer, it's still early."

After saying that, he kissed Jiang Xia's forehead.

In the quiet bedroom, under the warm blankets, the person in my arms is close to me, half of their body resting on my chest. With my soothing words, their breathing becomes steady again.

Wu Zhou could smell the fragrance of Jiang Xia's hair, feel his gentle aura, and see the outline of his face when he looked down.

I used to dislike sleeping in because I would get dizzy if I lay in bed for too long.

He couldn't help but kiss Jiang Xia's forehead, brow, and nose, and then kissed both sides of his face.

Now… Wu Zhou chuckled, sleeping in late is quite nice too.

After waking up, Jiang Xia was still sore all over, but he had a lot more energy than yesterday.

He was going to Zhan Lintian's house today, and instead of wearing formal attire, he changed into casual clothes.

Jiang Xia wore warm clothes inside, then a thick, light pink cotton shirt over it, paired with a black V-neck sweater, and a long black down jacket on top.

He wasn't wearing this to keep warm; he just wanted to avoid having his inner clothes exposed when he took off his coat in cooler places.

Wu Zhou straightened Jiang Xia's shirt collar and said in a low voice, "Why aren't you wearing a suit?"

Jiang Xia looked at the man in front of her and explained in a low voice that it was because Zhan Lintian had a niece who was only in kindergarten.

The little girl prefers pink. Children's happiness is simple; they can be happy all day if an adult wears an outfit they like.

Jiang Xia asked, "Doesn't this look good?"

Wu Zhou stroked Jiang Xia's cheek and said, "Beautiful."

She looks good in anything. Wu Zhou genuinely thinks that if Jiang Xia weren't a translator, she could be a model.

Jiang Xia chuckled: "Thank you for the compliment."

Jiang Xia tried his best to get along with Wu Zhou in a peaceful manner.

But before leaving, Wu Zhou put his arm around his waist and leaned against the entrance hall for a kiss.

The sound of their lips touching continued until Jiang Xia couldn't breathe and pushed her away.

Wu Zhou repeatedly emphasized in this way that the relationship between the two was unusual.

As for Zhan Lintian and Jiang Xia... Wu Zhou didn't want to put Jiang Xia in a difficult position, and he would respect Jiang Xia's decision no matter how Jiang Xia handled it.

As long as Jiangxia doesn't give up on himself.

Jiang Xia saw that he kissed her for a long time with reluctance, and thought that the two of them would take different cars back to Mengcheng and would not see each other for the rest of the day, which was why he did this.

When they went outside, there was only a black minivan parked at the main entrance.

He and Wu Zhou rode in the same car back to Mengcheng, a journey that would take at least several hours.

Jiang Xia got into the car, and Wu Zhou sat down next to him, asking the driver to raise the partition.

Wu Zhou grasped Jiang Xia's hand and gently rubbed it, as if stroking a feather.

Jiang Xia tugged at it lightly, but couldn't budge it, so he could only let it be.

Inside the car, the two remained silent. Wu Zhou gently kneaded Jiang Xia's fingers, creating a warm yet ambiguous atmosphere.

The snow outside the window has stopped, and it's a beautiful, sunny day, but the temperature hasn't risen.

It was warm inside the car.

Jiang Xia yawned, took out his phone, and changed his work calendar in his WeChat Moments.

He needs to rest for two days.

Editor-in-Chief Sun saw it and sent him a message, roughly saying that if he was going to leave after the New Year and seamlessly take over as the chief interpreter of the new company, then he should hand over the projects he was currently working on as soon as possible.

Jiang Xia sent the prepared work report and handover documents to the other party, and also sent a voice message.

Editor-in-Chief Sun replied quickly, expressing his high praise for his work attitude.

Although they won't be able to work together anymore, their friendship remains. Jiang Xia plans to invite him to dinner and give him some gifts in a while.

This successful job change was also thanks to Editor-in-Chief Sun.

It was precisely because he recommended himself to work as a translator at a ski competition that he gained online attention and his qualifications were recognized by other companies.

Jiang Xia answered Editor Sun's message in a disjointed manner, while Wu Zhou watched him quietly from the side.

At that moment, Editor-in-Chief Sun sent a voice message: "You're quite popular in Mengcheng now. I was watching those local videos the other day, and a lot of people were posting about you."

During that period, many headhunters contacted Editor-in-Chief Sun, hoping he could help them get in touch with Jiang Xia.

Editor-in-Chief Sun is easy to talk to.

In particular... Jiang Xia was recruited by Editor-in-Chief Sun through a headhunter.

Now those guys are poaching people from his own ranks again, but he's not hiding it from them.

Since we'll be leaving sooner or later anyway, we might as well do each other a favor and give Jiangxia a good push.

Wu Zhou's lips curled into a smile, full of admiration and pride...

After arriving in Mengcheng, Wu Zhou got off at an intersection and boarded another car that was waiting there.

The two then took different paths.

Jiang Xia is going to Zhan Lintian's house, and Wu Zhou is going to the hospital to see if Wu Ming is dead.

Zhan Lintian's family.

Wenwen got up early in the morning, changed into a pink tutu, and put on a thick woolen hat.

As soon as Jiang Xia got out of the car, a little boy who was barely up to his waist came bouncing over, grabbed Jiang Xia's leg, and said in a childish voice, "Hello, Uncle Jiang."

"Kindergarten is out for the holidays, and my uncle won't let me hide other kids at home during the winter break..." she complained, wanting Jiang Xia to help her.

Jiang Xia followed up on her question, saying, "Doesn't your uncle let you go out to play?"

Wenwen nodded and said, "My uncle said he was going to hit me, my stomach hurts, and he won't let me eat."

"I won't let Auntie hold me; she'll throw me."

Jiang Xia was completely confused, but then chuckled softly.

Children speak in a way that makes them feel like they are learning a new foreign language, even though the "language" that adults take for granted and can easily understand and express is like a new foreign language.

Jiang Xia picked her up and tossed her gently, allowing Wenwen to change her perspective and look around from a distance of about two meters.

She exclaimed "Wow!"

Jiang Xia comforted her, "Wenwen is saying that her uncle is worried that if you bring other children back, their parents will be concerned."

"As for hitting you..." Jiang Xia thought to himself that Zhan Lintian wouldn't be so cruel to a child.

The aunt standing nearby, feeling helpless, spoke up for Mr. Zhan.

"Mr. Zhan said he was worried that if she went out to play, she would get a stomachache from eating snow. He was also worried that if we carried her while playing in the snow, she would slip and fall."

Jiang Xia asked with a smile, "Wenwen, is that so?"

Wenwen nodded vigorously and happily swung her legs.

As she spoke, she opened her arms, like the little rabbit in the picture book "Guess How Much I Love You" that Jiang Xia was telling, and said, "That's what I'm talking about—"

Jiang Xia carried her and, guided by the others, went to find Zhan Lintian.

Zhan Lintian suddenly received a phone call earlier, needing to handle an overseas investment project. He went into his study early this morning and hasn't come out since.

Jiang Xia did not take the child to disturb him.

By the time we came out, it was already noon.

Wenwen took Jiangxia to shovel snow and build a snowman in her small courtyard.

Jiang Xia carried a small bucket, sat on Wenwen's little stool, and shoveled snow into the bucket.

Wenwen was happily building a snowman nearby.

As Zhan Lintian leaned against the floor-to-ceiling window and looked at the scene before him, the resentment and anger he felt during the phone call vanished instantly.

He chuckled softly.

Now, he can't understand his sister and brother-in-law. The two were deeply in love before their marriage and insisted on getting married despite their families' objections.

In front of everyone, they swore an oath to live a happy and joyful life together.

Now they've fallen out, and he doesn't even want the child anymore. He might not come back even once every year or two.

Zhan Lintian walked over: "Jiang Xia."

He originally intended to flirt with Jiang Xia and call him "wife".

But with the child still nearby, Zhan Lintian still had to save face, and considering that Jiang Xia wouldn't agree to call him that in front of the child, he had no choice but to give up.

Jiang Xia turned to look at him; Zhan Lintian had come out wearing only his home clothes.

Jiang Xia stood up and involuntarily exhaled, causing the white mist to dissipate.

He said, "Hurry up and come inside."

After entering the room, Zhan Lintian moved closer to him. Jiang Xia did not dodge, but asked, "Are you alright?"

Zhan Lintian raised his hand, revealing the gauze: "It's alright, take a look."

Jiang Xia frowned: "Let me change your dressing."

Zhan Lintian awkwardly put his hands behind his back: "No need, I already took the medicine last night."

Jiang Xia said earnestly, "Wu Zhou prepared medicine for me, saying it's very effective. You should use it; I'm sure it will work..."

He was very worried.

A note from the author:

Wu Zhou: Jiang Xia, take this medicine. Make sure to change his dressing and check how serious his injury is. (Gritting his teeth) (Forces the medicine down his throat)

Zhan Lintian: There's absolutely no need for that.

*

When Mr. Wu ate, he was very gentle. He liked to look at Jiang Xia's face, eat little by little, and only bump into her when he was sure of the position.

However, General Manager Zhan is the type of person who catches fire in an old house, and he is quite ruthless.

Each time, Jiang Xia was almost breathing heavily at the end, with gasps and helpless cries.

Therefore, James has the most scratches on his back, but he is not afraid of pain. Instead, he wants to make his usually calm and gentle wife feel comfortable and stimulated to the point of collapse.

However, in the storyline, President Zhan prefers Jiang Xia to sit and eat by himself, preferably when Jiang Xia can't find the right food and asks him for help while eating.
