Chapter 134 As if drained dry
Xia Jianyong naturally had no idea what Li Rouyue was thinking.
He pulled Li Rouyue to sit down on the sofa and gently played with her hand.
"Rouyue, how many years have you been with me?" Xia Jianyong asked.
“I’ve been with you since I was sixteen, so it’s been twenty-three years now. Except for the years when you were pursuing that other person, we’ve never been apart,” Li Rouyue said softly.
Xia Jianyong brought up the past, which Li Rouyue couldn't have asked for.
Those memories represent their relationship, and also Xia Jianyong's debt to her.
The more he mentioned her, the more guilty Xia Jianyong felt towards her.
However, the existence of the Xia family also represents Xia Jianyong's incompetence and ineptitude.
So he never mentions it normally.
To avoid upsetting Xia Jianyong, Li Rouyue never mentioned it.
So when Xia Jianyong brought it up himself, she couldn't be happier.
She could take this opportunity to act weak and vulnerable, which would make Xia Jianyong feel guilty and make him treat her better.
Li Rouyue had made up her mind, but then she heard Xia Jianyong sigh: "It's been so long. We've spent most of our lives together."
“That’s right, we’re going to continue this journey together and spend our lives together,” Li Rouyue said, echoing his words.
Looking at Li Rouyue's face, which now had a few more wrinkles, Xia Jianyong thought: Can they still have a lifetime together?
“Yes, there’s still a lifetime ahead of us,” Xia Jianyong murmured.
The two sat together on the sofa, chatting about the past, snuggling close to each other like a young couple deeply in love.
Later, when they got hungry, the two went to the kitchen together to cook some dishes and get some wine. They sat together, drinking and chatting until late at night.
Li Rouyue found it strange that Xia Jianyong was suddenly so talkative.
But then he felt that reminiscing about the past wouldn't do her any harm, so he patiently stayed with her.
As night fell, both of them were slightly drunk, and fueled by their intoxication, they went wild for half the night.
After a fierce battle, Xia Jianyong leaned against the headboard and smoked.
The swirling smoke blurred Xia Jianyong's face.
He turned his head to look at Li Rouyue, who was lying beside him sleeping with her eyes closed, his gaze deep.
After finishing his cigarette, he stubbed it out in the ashtray, lay down, and hugged Li Rouyue as they fell asleep.
There are still a few days left, let's wait a bit longer, no rush...
On the other hand, Xia Yuhuan was unaware that the pit she had dug was deep enough that Xia Jianyong could no longer hold back and even considered killing Li Rouyue to ensure there was no evidence against her.
She got up early as usual, exercised for half an hour first, and then washed up before getting ready to go out.
Chi Yanzhou had regained his senses by this time. Hearing Xia Yuhuan pacing back and forth in the room, but seeing that she hadn't come to talk to him, he became increasingly anxious.
Since he woke up, he hasn't heard his wife come to chat with him.
Why doesn't his wife come to chat with him anymore?
Did something happen?
Chi Yanzhou was unaware that the fact that his anger caused the poison to spread a second time had alerted Xia Yuhuan.
She is no longer as carefree as before, and she tells Chi Yanzhou everything she says.
So, until Chi Yanzhou heard Xia Yuhuan close the door and leave, he didn't hear her say a single word to him.
For a moment, Chi Yanzhou felt as if the sky had fallen.
Why isn't his wife talking to him anymore?
Could it be that he lost control of his emotions this time, causing the toxins to spread and affecting his health, leading to his wife's dislike of him?
Chi Yanzhou was extremely anxious.
But he dared not let himself fall into a state of emotional instability again, for fear of falling into a coma again.
After all, what his mother meant was that the poison in his body had spread a second time and had reached a point where it was difficult to control.
If it weren't for his wife being there, his acquaintances would probably already be enjoying his feast.
Xia Yuhuan had no idea what Chi Yanzhou was thinking.
After leaving the compound, she headed towards the military region.
Not entirely unexpectedly, I ran into Xia Jianyong.
"Hey, Lao Xia, what happened to you? You look so listless, like you've been drained dry," Xia Yuhuan said with amusement.
"Old Xia, you're getting on in years. You need to be more restrained in certain things. Doing these kinds of things too often isn't good for someone your age."
Xia Yuhuan's earnest and well-meaning expression gave Xia Jian a real scare.
"You little bitch, have you no shame? You dare to make up such things in front of your own father, you are utterly shameless!" Xia Jianyong cursed through gritted teeth.
But he didn't dare to speak loudly, for fear of being overheard and losing face.
Xia Yuhuan pouted and said, "I'm just telling the truth. If you don't like hearing it, I won't say it."
"Oh, by the way, I heard you haven't been doing so well lately? There are so many rumors going around, aren't you going to deal with them? Aren't you afraid your third son will be affected by this?"
Xia Yuhuan now enjoys provoking Xia Jianyong.
The more Xia Jianyong broke down, the happier she became.
After all, Chi Shaokang's situation was nearing its final stages, and Xia Jianyong could be arrested at any moment. She needed to seize the opportunity to stir things up and expose Xia Jianyong's moral and emotional transgressions so that he would be condemned by everyone.
The law judges his heinous act of murder and robbery, while morality judges his deceitful behavior of deceiving people's feelings and murdering them for money.
Xia Jianyong's expression darkened upon hearing this.
He never expected that even Xia Yuhuan knew about his affair!
It seems that person was right; this matter needs to be resolved as soon as possible, otherwise, when things get really critical, even if he wanted to deal with it, it wouldn't be enough time.
"My affairs are none of your business, you don't need to worry about them." Xia Jianyong said this and walked past Xia Yuhuan.
With his back to Xia Yuhuan, Xia Jianyong's eyes were filled with coldness.
It seems we really can't delay any longer. Even if he's reluctant, he has to make a decision as soon as possible!
Xia Yuhuan watched Xia Jianyong's retreating figure and blinked gently.
Was it just her imagination?
Why did she feel that Xia Jianyong's eyes were full of murderous intent just now?
Xia Jianyong wanted to kill her?
That can't be right.
Rumors are flying everywhere; even if Xia Jianyong kills her, it won't solve the problem.
Although she was the one who started this rumor.
However, Xia Jianyong probably hasn't been able to find her yet.
If he had been able to find out this, he would never have treated her so calmly.
Although Xia Yuhuan was completely baffled, she became more cautious and wary.
She arrived at the military hospital, put down her things, changed her clothes, and tidied herself up when Zhao Xiaolan rushed in.
"Dr. Deng, something terrible has happened! Come quick, quick... Dr. Xia, why are you all alone? Where is Dr. Deng?"
Deng Qili and Zhao Xiaolan were on duty last night and haven't handed over to the morning shift yet.
Xia Yuhuan's expression was solemn as she said, "I haven't seen her since I came in. I'm all alone now. Tell me quickly what's going on."
Zhao Xiaolan hesitated upon hearing this.
Although Xia Yuhuan is Jiang Zhicheng's apprentice, she was parachuted in after all, and she wasn't sure if Xia Yuhuan was truly capable or just a good-for-nothing with connections.
"What are you standing there for? Hurry up and say it. Don't let a small matter turn into a big one," Xia Yuhuan urged.
