"Ningning, she's angry at you because of me. If I don't save you, who will? If anything happens to you, I'll feel guilty for the rest of my life." Jing Chenxi smiled slightly. "I'm a man, I should be able to withstand the test of time. What's more, you suffered this misfortune because of me. If I don't step in, am I still a man?"
"Boss Jing." Shen Ning felt a warmth in his heart and choked out a sob.
"Ningning, I've always wanted to explain to you about Miss Jiang Xinyu and I, but you never wanted to listen. Jiang Xinyu and I met at a family banquet five years ago. Both sets of parents were there, and we were introduced to each other. At that time, my career had just started to pick up, and I had a certain reputation in the industry. It was Zhu Lingmei who took the initiative to mention it. At that time, it had been a year since you jumped into the sea. I turned my grief into strength and concentrated on my career. I didn't want to accept this marriage at all, but that night, my grandfather forced me and had a heart attack. I had no choice but to agree to try dating first. A year later, I explained everything to her family. Unexpectedly, they didn't give up at all and even publicized it in the newspapers. It's all my fault that I didn't clarify it in time, which led to today's mistake." Jing Chenxi said a lot of words in one breath. His face was pale because of severe blood loss.
"Mr. Jing, stop talking. I understand everything." Shen Ning hurriedly took a tissue to wipe the sweat from his forehead. Looking at his arm which was still covered with a bright red wound, he immediately stopped him from talking to avoid wasting his energy.
"Ningning, can you call me by my name? Don't always call me 'Mr. Jing, Mr. Jing'. It makes me feel like you are a stranger." Jing Chenxi looked at her with his eyes full of eagerness and anticipation, his voice very low.
Shen Ning only felt that the corners of her eyes were wet, and her heart was particularly sour. Not to mention him, even she hated herself for being ruthless.
There is a man in this world who can take the knife for her, what on earth could she be dissatisfied with?
"Chen Xi." She whispered.
"Yeah." Jing Chenxi responded with a gentle smile on his pale face. He stretched out his left hand and held her small hand tightly, as if afraid that she would slip away.
"Chen Xi, have a good sleep first. I'll make you some raw fish soup now." She whispered softly.
Jing Chenxi opened his eyes wide and looked at her: "Ningning, are you leaving? I don't want to drink any raw fish soup, I just want you to stay with me for a while."
Shen Ning shook his head: "Don't worry, I will stay with you until you are discharged from the hospital."
"Really?" Jing Chenxi's eyes lit up.
"Of course it's true. You saved me, so why would I not even take care of you? I'm not such a heartless person." Shen Ning replied seriously, "Just rest well, leave everything to me."
Jing Chenxi smiled slightly, then closed his eyes with relief.
Perhaps due to excessive blood loss, he fell asleep soon after.
In a Rolls-Royce luxury car.
Li Zhenting was driving the car, feeling impatient.
The image of Shen Ning holding Jing Chenxi's bleeding arm with anxiety and heartache flashed in his mind from time to time, and his face became more and more gloomy.
"Brother Ting, this is such a bummer. I finally have you to have dinner with me, but a crazy woman shows up with a knife and attacks people. This is my first meal since returning to China. Let me tell you, this time doesn't count. You have to treat me again tomorrow." Li Jiaojiao sat in the passenger seat and complained with a pout.
But does anyone listen to her complaints?
Li Zhenting drove the car with a deadpan look on his face, often making the car turn in many directions. Several times, he almost hit other people's cars.
