Chapter 73 If I can’t even protect you, what use am I?

Xu Jialan's expression did not change.

She had no intention of intervening.

If she hadn’t seen Third Uncle Shen in those materials and the hospital in which the Shen family had invested, she wouldn’t have intervened.

But she couldn't ignore anything related to the Shen family.

As for this matter, Song Zhiya found out about it.

It was beyond her expectations, but also within her expectations.

I just didn't expect Song Zhiya to be so excited.

"So? What do you want?"

Song Zhiya looked at Xu Jialan's calm appearance, and a layer of coldness covered her eyes.

"Xu Jialan, no matter what happens, will you always look like you have nothing to do with it?"

Xu Jialan didn't say anything.

Song Zhiya snorted coldly and took a step forward. "You look so disgusting. I wish I could tear your disgusting face apart."

As she spoke, she raised her hand again and was about to hit Xu Jialan in the face.

At this time, Shen Xichuan pulled Xu Jialan into his arms.

He turned his head and glanced coldly at Song Zhiya.

There was an undisguised coldness in his eyes.

Song Zhiya met those eyes, and her raised hand suddenly stopped in the air. She was so scared that she took a step back.

Xu Jialan was stunned for half a second when he saw Shen Xichuan who suddenly appeared.

"Shen Xichuan." She murmured.

The man lowered his eyes to look at her, and when he saw the obvious slap mark on her cheek, his pupils suddenly sank.

"Are you stupid? Xu Jialan, you can't even hide when being beaten."

There was a mixture of helplessness and pity in his tone.

Xu Jialan opened his mouth, somewhat innocently, "I didn't see it."

She really didn't see it.

Shen Xichuan really had no way to deal with her.

He protected her behind him and looked up at Song Zhiya opposite him. "I didn't expect that Mr. Liang's apprentice would be such a rude, unreasonable, stupid and brainless person."

Xu Jialan blinked.

Song Zhiya was stunned for a moment, then her face was filled with anger, "What did you say?"

"I'm talking about you." Shen Xichuan clicked his tongue, "You have no ability and only know how to find others to mess around with. If you become the vice president of the Medical Association, it would really be the Medical Association's worst misfortune to have encountered a fool like you."

"you……"

Song Zhiya widened her eyes and stared at the two of them.

"What do you mean by you?" Shen Xichuan looked at Song Zhiya coldly, "I'll remember this slap from you. Wait for the lawyer's letter. If you don't apologize, I wonder how long you can stay in the Medical Association."

After saying this, he turned around, put his arm around Xu Jialan's shoulders and left.

Song Zhiya was so frightened that she didn't react for a moment.

Looking at the backs of the two people leaving, thinking of the man's noble and sharp aura just now, she gritted her teeth, not knowing whether it was jealousy or resentment.

…

at the same time.

Shen Xichuan took Xu Jialan back to the car without saying a word.

He then started the vehicle and left the laboratory.

Along the way, Shen Xichuan didn't speak a word.

He parked the car in front of a nearby convenience store, pushed the door open and got out.

Xu Jialan watched him walk into the convenience store.

After a while, he came out carrying a bag.

The car door was opened.

The man returned to the driver's seat.

Xu Jialan glanced sideways at the man beside him.

Seeing that he didn't speak, she pursed her lips and spoke softly, "You..."

Shen Xichuan took out a bottle of iced mineral water from the bag and wrapped the bottle with a towel.

Then, he looked at Xu Jialan and said, "Come closer."

Xu Jialan moved closer to him.

The man took the water bottle and carefully applied it to her left cheek, his brows slightly furrowed, and his movements were very gentle.

"Does it hurt?"

Xu Jialan smelled the familiar cool breath on him and shook his head, "It doesn't hurt."

Shen Xichuan lowered his eyes and looked at the girl in front of him.

The light in the carriage was dim and I couldn't see his expression clearly.

"Why did she hit you?"

Xu Jialan was silent for half a second, "Maybe it's a misunderstanding."

Shen Xichuan paused and looked at her.

He spoke slowly, "Xu Jialan, do you know that every time you lie to me, you have a little trick."

Xu Jialan: "...What little tricks?"

Shen Xichuan curled his lips, “That’s right, you don’t dare to look me in the eyes, just like you are now.”

Xu Jialan subconsciously looked up at him.

The man lowered his eyes.

Their eyes suddenly met.

Xu Jialan's breathing was slightly stifled.

They were so close that she could not only clearly see the small hairs on Shen Xichuan's face.

And…if she moved a little closer, she could kiss him on the lips.

Xu Jialan didn't dare to move.

The man took in all her little movements, a faint smile flashing across his eyes.

He said lazily, "Did you see it?"

"Um?"

Xu Jialan didn't react for a moment.

"You look like you're lying to me," he said.

Xu Jialan: "..."

She felt like crying but couldn't. "How could I have that?"

Even if there is, you cannot admit it.

Shen Xichuan raised his eyebrows, “Really?”

“Yes…yes.”

"I don't believe it."

Xu Jialan: “?”

Shen Xichuan looked at her with lazy eyebrows and curled lips.

"I have to do an experiment to verify it."

"What experiment?"

"that is……"

Shen Xichuan said, and suddenly stopped.

He held the water bottle on Xu Jialan's face with one hand, and gently pinched the back of her neck with the other hand to pull her back.

"so."

As soon as the words fell, warm lips kissed those red lips.

Xu Jialan's heart was beating wildly.

Men don't just dabble in things.

The hot breath hit my face, and my cheeks slowly turned red.

Xu Jialan slowly closed his eyes.

Her long eyelashes swept across the man's nose.

The carriage was so quiet that even the slightest movement could be heard clearly.

Especially the strong heartbeats of the two people.

Like a special symphony.

Emotionally moved, heart agitated.

I don’t know how long it took.

Shen Xichuan pressed his forehead against Xu Jialan’s, and their noses touched each other.

His eyes were lowered and his breathing was obviously unstable.

Xu Jialan slowly opened her eyes, her beautiful almond-shaped eyes full of charm.

The long eyelashes were slightly damp.

The chest rises and falls noticeably.

He wasn't the only one with unstable breathing.

There is her too.

The man held her face and couldn't help but peck her slightly swollen lips.

"Does it hurt?" he asked again.

Xu Jialan's eyelashes trembled.

This time, she didn't lie.

"pain."

The voice is a little soft and hoarse.

It hurts.

Song Zhiya obviously did it on purpose, and she probably used a lot of force.

Otherwise, why would the face become red and swollen so quickly?

She said it didn't hurt, she was just used to chewing up all the pain and swallowing it herself.

Ever since her parents passed away, no one except Mr. Liang and others cared or paid attention to whether she was in pain or discomfort.

Shen Xichuan was the first one.

Someone who cares whether she is in pain or not.

Shen Xichuan gently turned the water bottle.

"If it hurts, you have to tell me, okay?"

Xu Jialan stared at him blankly, "Should I tell you?"

"What else?"

The man took away the water bottle and looked at her seriously, "Xu Jialan, I am your husband. No matter if someone bullies you or you are in pain, you must tell me instead of suffering alone."

He sighed helplessly, "Otherwise, if I can't even protect you, what use am I?"
