Ji Chen looked at the sleeping Jiang Xue, sometimes covering her with clothes, sometimes warming her hands.
I was afraid that the person in front of me would get cold or freeze.
Seeing that the nutrient solution in the glass medicine bottle was finished, Ji Chen quietly called the nurse and gestured to her not to wake Jiang Xue.
But no matter how much Ji Chen instructed him, it was no use.
The stinging sensation of the nurse removing the needle instantly jolted Jiang Xue awake. She woke up from her dream, a dream she had of cars, the Yangtze River, and the final moments of her accident in her past life.
Her heart was pounding wildly. When she opened her eyes, she was still in a daze, and the panic in her heart seemed to be swallowing her up.
Jiang Xue looked at the old-fashioned hospital in front of her with fear and unease. The dim light bulbs, the wooden chairs, and the iconic blue-green paint on the walls were all very old.
Everything felt like a distant memory.
Jiang Xue felt like she couldn't distinguish between a dream and reality. Ji Chen's soft voice brought Jiang Xue's almost lost soul back to reality.
"Jiang Xue, what's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?" Seeing Jiang Xue's flustered expression, Ji Chen wondered if she had been frightened by the man, so he quickly put his arm around her.
Jiang Xue, who had been standing there in a daze, gradually calmed down when she felt Ji Chen's body temperature.
But she quickly realized what was happening and sprang back to her feet.
She silently got up, returned the clothes to Ji Chen, then picked up her bag and prepared to go back on her own.
Seeing Jiang Xue's stubborn appearance broke Ji Chen's heart, as if the question of who was right and who was wrong no longer mattered.
At this moment, he only felt heartache, heartache for Jiang Xue's strength, heartache for Jiang Xue's stubbornness...
Ji Chen secretly vowed that from now on, such a thing would never happen to him again.
Jiang Xue walked ahead on her own, while Ji Chen followed behind her, carrying various snacks.
The two walked one after the other, looking like strangers, but anyone with eyes could tell they were a married couple.
Jiang Xue returned to the shop and watched Gu Xiaoling tallying up the items. "Did you get that man's money back?"
Gu Xiaoling looked at Jiang Xue in surprise. How did she know that the man was the swindler who cheated her out of money?
Jiang Xue still had medical tape on her hand. "What happened to you? Are you sick?"
Gu Xiaoling immediately lost all interest in thinking about the swindler. Jiang Xue's complexion had been quite poor lately, and Gu Xiaoling was more worried about Jiang Xue's health.
"Nothing much, just what did that scammer say?"
Seeing that Jiang Xue was avoiding the main point, Ji Chen said directly, "Jiang Xue is now my top priority for protection. She is not alone anymore."
Ji Chen finished speaking with a hint of pride on his face.
Upon hearing this, Gu Xiaoling and Aunt Zhou almost cried out in surprise. They quickly surrounded Jiang Xue's belly, with Gu Xiaoling even exaggerating by pressing her ear against Jiang Xue's stomach.
"What are you doing? It's only been a month, where did all this noise come from?"
Aunt Zhou couldn't help but laugh at Gu Xiaoling's silly appearance and couldn't help but complain.
This was the first time Jiang Xue had encountered something like this, and her feelings were quite complicated. She was even a little embarrassed.
"Boss, you're amazing! You've expanded the factory, opened a shop, and now you're pregnant. It's truly a double blessing!" Gu Xiaoling seemed even more excited than if she were pregnant herself.
"Let me tell you, you can't go out to work for the first three months. You have to stay home and rest." Aunt Zhou's words were very serious. At this moment, she was advising Jiang Xue as an elder.
