Chapter 235 Rainy Night

Grabbing a piece of clothing at random, Si Yanxiao strode out of the study.

"Where are Ah Lin and Ah Chen?" The butler was waiting nearby and hurried over when he saw Si Yanxiao come out.

"The two young masters have returned to their rooms."

Where is that person?

"The young mistress hasn't come out since she went back to her room, nor has she had dinner," the butler dutifully reported.

Si Yanxiao looked up and saw that the lights in the two children's room were off. He told them to take care of the house and strode towards the garage.

"Young Master, are you going out?" The butler hurriedly caught up with him.

Si Yanxiao nodded, but didn't stop walking; he continued striding forward.

The butler had to jog to keep up with Si Yanxiao's pace. "The driver on duty today is Xiao Zhang. I'll go prepare the car for you."

Si Yanxiao did not refuse, and the butler then ran away.

The car drove out of the Si family villa two minutes later. The butler breathed a sigh of relief as he watched the car's taillights disappear.

The lights on in the second-floor room were turned on after the car left.

Jiang Ran leaned against the headboard, looking at her feet, where the swelling had clearly subsided.

Jiang Ran gently moved her legs and stood up from the bed, completely ignoring the medical advice given by Director Liu, such as not getting out of bed for three days.

How could that be? There are so many things to do right now, Jiang Ran wishes she could split herself in two.

Jiang Ran glanced at the time; it was past 10 p.m. Thinking the two children should be asleep, she was still a little worried. So she moved over to the children's room. Luckily, it wasn't far, otherwise, Jiang Ran was afraid it would have taken her a long time to get there.

Pushing open the doors to the two children's rooms, the spacious rooms are decorated in two different styles, but they look perfectly harmonious together.

The left side belonged to Si Youlin. There were two boxes of toys on the wall, as well as a painting they had drawn, a portrait of the family of four. Seeing this, Jiang Ran felt a pang of heartache.

Both children are six years old, but they don't even have a complete family photo, no, not even a single photo of them together.

The right half belongs to Si Zuochen. If Jiang Ran had ever been to Si Yanxiao's study, she would have noticed that this half was practically a miniature version of Si Yanxiao's study. It was almost entirely dark-themed, with black leather sofas and black study desks. In contrast to Si Youlin's, there were no toys on this side, but instead, there was a computer programming book on the desk that even Jiang Ran didn't want to read.

Jiang Ran arranged the books, muttering, "Are all kids these days so smart? She's only six, and they're already teaching programming in kindergarten?"

A lamp was placed between the two beds. It was a warm light, a dim yellow light that wasn't glaring but could still illuminate the path under their beds.

Jiang Ran carefully covered the two children with blankets and tucked them in. Looking at their delicate little faces, Jiang Ran couldn't resist touching their faces.

The servants noticed that Jiang Ran's room was lit up, but when they went inside and found no one there, they quickly went out to search for her.

They happened to run into Jiang Ran coming out of the two children's room.

"Young Madam."

"Shh!" Jiang Ran made a shushing gesture, then gently closed the door, leaned against the wall with one hand, and beckoned with the other: "Zisu, come here."

"Ah Lin and Ah Chen are asleep, keep your voice down."

Zisu kept her mouth tightly shut and nodded vigorously.

"What do you want from me?"

"The doctor left instructions saying that you should not get out of bed for three days, otherwise your foot will not recover."

"I'll go back now."

Seeing Jiang Ran struggling like this, Zisu felt a little sorry for her: "Young Madam, please let me help you."

"No need, I'm fine."

Zisu glanced at Jiang Ran, then looked down at her feet, and finally gritted her teeth, stomped her foot, and ran downstairs.

Jiang Ran hadn't even realized where she had run off to when she looked up and saw two bodyguards standing in front of her.

"Young Madam, please forgive me!"

After saying that, the two bodyguards lifted Jiang Ran up, one on each side.

"Be careful, don't let the young mistress fall," Zisu whispered from behind.

Jiang Ran came out of her room around 10 p.m., and by the time she was carried back to her room, it was already 11:30 p.m.

Zisu has already informed the housekeeper that Jiang Ran has woken up, and is now taking care of Jiang Ran by her side, afraid that she might disappear again if she turns her back.

"You don't need to be so careful. I'm back now. Zisu, go find me something to eat. I'm hungry."

"Young Madam, I have already given the order. The young master instructed the kitchen to save some food for you, but since it has been a while and you are a patient, it is best not to eat leftovers. The kitchen is preparing a late-night snack for you now, please wait a moment."

"Okay." Jiang Ran glanced at Zisu, then resignedly lay down on the bed, staring blankly at the ceiling.

Half an hour later, Si Yanxiao arrived at Jiang Ran's room with a late-night snack.

Looking at Jiang Ran's bitter and resentful expression, Si Yanxiao suddenly stopped being angry.

"Why are you here?" Jiang Ran complained directly.

Si Yanxiao looked at Jiang Ran, who had a conflicted expression, and then at her still swollen foot. He opened his mouth but didn't say anything. He handed the midnight snack in his hand to Zisu and then left the room.

"Young Madam, Young Master bought this late-night snack especially for you." Zisu smiled broadly and quickly set out the food.

After Si Yanxiao left, a bodyguard came in carrying a huge cardboard box. Just by looking at the bodyguard's posture, you could tell that the contents inside were definitely not light.

The bodyguard quickly opened the box, revealing a brand-new wheelchair to everyone.

Jiang Ran, in particular, was so shocked that her mouth could fit an egg.

"What does your master mean by this?" Jiang Ran asked proactively.

but!

The bodyguard shook his head.

"Zisu, help me push it over here."

The wheelchair was pushed to the bedside, and Jiang Ran, with one leg raised, hopped over to the wheelchair and plopped down next to it.

I felt it was inconvenient when I went out earlier, but now it's at least easier to see the two kids.

Jiang Ran had exerted herself greatly that day and was starving. Looking at the late-night snack on the table, she narrowed her eyes into slits and said, "Please thank your master for me."

The bodyguard nodded and respectfully withdrew.

Because Jiang Ran was injured, Si Yanxiao packed a light meal of white porridge and vegetables.

Although it can't compare to the chef's work at the Si family restaurant, the taste is still quite good.

The bodyguard reported Jiang Ran's every move to Si Yanxiao. When he learned that Jiang Ran had eaten all of the midnight snack, Si Yanxiao's originally cold expression softened slightly.

After the meal, it suddenly started raining.

Jiang Ran also kicked Zisu out, leaving her alone in the room. She got off her wheelchair, struggled to move to the window, sat on the floor, and looked at the rain outside through the French windows.

The rain isn't heavy, just a light drizzle, but... there's wind, and the wind is blowing the raindrops so hard they're hitting the windows. So all you can hear in the room is the sound of raindrops hitting the trees and the windows.

Watching the pattering rain, Jiang Ran's mind calmed down for a moment. She leaned her head against the French windows, slowly closed her eyes, and drifted off to sleep…

At the same time, Si Yanxiao also stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, looking at the rainy night outside...

An hour later...

Apart from the bodyguards on duty in secret and the security guards on patrol, everyone else had fallen asleep.

Jiang Ran has gone from sleeping while sitting to sleeping while lying on the floor, and she is sleeping very soundly.

Si Yanxiao also leaned back on the sofa in the study and fell into a deep sleep.

The next morning, the air was very humid because of the rain. Jiang Ran also opened her eyes early and, with the help of her bodyguards, successfully sat down at the dining table: "You guys go to school first, and I'll pick you up in the afternoon."

"Okay!" Si Zuochen replied calmly.

"We're finished eating, please enjoy your meal."

Jiang Ran really wanted to offer to take you to school, but she didn't dare...

The original owner had done many bad things to them before, and she had only managed to recover a little bit with great difficulty. She couldn't bear to let all her efforts go to waste.

"Are you busy later?" Si Youlin asked Jiang Ran out of the blue.
