“I…” Song Wan didn’t know what to say for a moment.
Bai Zhijin quickly waved her hand, "Don't misunderstand, I didn't mean to pry into your privacy. I just think this matter is quite strange."
“Hmm, something does seem off.” Song Wan lowered her head and thought for a moment, then said, “I didn’t know Zhao Jiang before. The first time I met him was at the kindergarten where I work. So I don’t know where your brother’s suspicions come from. If necessary, I should go and explain to him in person.”
"You...you really still want to see him again?"
Song Wan chuckled, "We've only dissolved our engagement, we're not enemies. And as you said, he's already been punished, hasn't he?"
Bai Zhijin nodded, admiring Song Wan's magnanimity and generosity. Thinking about it, if Huo Junyang treated her like that, she probably wouldn't have such a good temper.
After the two ate something, Song Wan went straight to the hospital.
She knew Bai Ruogu would be coming to the hospital today to change his dressing, and she also knew which ward he was in. It wasn't that she still had feelings for him; she just wanted to cut things clean and make everything clear.
Perhaps, the one who tied the knot must untie it. If she could explain things clearly to Bai Ruogu, maybe he would stop being so stubborn, which would be a good thing.
Song Wan followed the corridor to Bai Ruogu's ward. She took a deep breath and was about to knock on the door when she heard some noise inside.
It sounds like... Lin Zhaojiang's voice too!
Song Wan was startled and hurriedly tried to push the door open to go in, but at that moment Lin Zhaojiang walked out of the ward.
He was somewhat surprised to see Song Wan, but he quickly composed himself and smiled at her.
Why are you here?
“You…” Song Wan opened her eyes wide; she wanted to ask the same question.
She glanced into the room instinctively.
Bai Ruogu leaned against the wall like a stray dog, his pale face seemingly blending into the wall.
His eyes held a hint of hatred, but even more so, a fear of Lin Zhaojiang.
Song Wan was stunned for a moment. Lin Zhaojiang put his arm around her shoulder and smiled at her, "I heard that Young Master Bai is changing his dressing here, so I specifically asked the doctors and nurses to take good care of him."
Song Wan blinked her big eyes.
She's not stupid, how could she possibly believe what he said?
But his deep and unwavering gaze slowly calmed her anxious heart.
"Young Master Bai." Lin Zhaojiang turned around, a slight smile playing on his lips. "Your injuries aren't too serious. The doctors and nurses here are doing their best for you. You'll recover soon."
Bai Ruogu bit her lip tightly.
"And another thing," Lin Zhaojiang continued, "you must take to heart the words I just said to comfort Young Master Bai! Heh, you are a talented and capable person, and I don't want to see your talent go to waste or your abilities be buried!"
After saying that, he embraced Song Wan and walked out of the ward. He knew that Bai Ruogu was staring at him with the eyes of someone looking at an enemy, but he didn't care.
He looked down at the little woman in his arms, his eyes softening considerably.
One day, he will tell Song Wan about their past, but these things cannot be told to Song Wan by anyone else.
"Zhaojiang." After getting into the car, Song Wan still couldn't suppress her doubts and asked him softly, "What are you doing here?"
Lin Zhaojiang remained expressionless: "Didn't I say I came to see Bai Ruogu?"
"But you used to..."
"He's injured. I just came to see him and check on him, don't overthink it. But what are you doing here?"
Song Wan's expression changed when he asked her that question.
Although Lin Zhaojiang was smiling, his fierce and powerful aura still made her somewhat timid.
He held her small hand in his palm and gently stroked it. There was no need for explanation; he knew why she had come.
"Don't be afraid, I was just asking casually." He looked up at her. "Wanwan, are you... still afraid of me?"
"Or?" Song Wan was taken aback. "Could it be that I was afraid of you before?"
Lin Zhaojiang paused, but did not respond.
Song Wan used to be afraid of him. She was afraid that he would get tired of her, that he would stop giving her family money, and that he would kick her out one day if he was in a bad mood.
So she tried her best to please him every day.
Even in bed, she let him do whatever he wanted and vent his frustrations freely.
He liked her very much at that time because he had never met a woman more docile and obedient than her.
But now that I think about it, his feelings for her back then were nothing more than a master's feelings for an obedient kitten or puppy...
Lin Zhaojiang looked at her again, and the innocent clarity in her eyes suddenly pierced his heart. He pulled her into a tight embrace, his hoarse voice whispering softly in her ear, "Wanwan, shall we get married?"
The surprise and sweetness of that moment swept away Song Wan's doubts and timidity.
She laughed, her small hands clinging to his broad back, gently stroking it.
“After we get married, you can do whatever you want,” Lin Zhaojiang said. “I will fully support your dreams.”
"Really?" Song Wan leaned against his chest, listening to his strong heartbeat, and asked with a smile, "But don't men all want women to stay at home and take care of their husbands and children?"
“You don’t need to do these things for me. Just go and pursue what you love. If you ever get tired or weary, just remember that I’m your safe haven.”
"Uncle," she said, her eyes crinkling with a smile, "you're really special!"
"Still calling me 'uncle'? Didn't you say I'm not old?"
Song Wan nuzzled against him, her soft lips accidentally brushing against his neck, sending a surge of emotion through him.
"Wanwan..."
The man's eyes burned with fire, his voice grew increasingly hoarse, and his hands began to roam freely over her body.
Song Wan pushed him, but her weak and feeble movements seemed to him more like a coy refusal.
Lin Zhaojiang's lips curled slightly as he leaned down and planted a deep kiss on her lips...
"Hmm..."
Song Wan's heart raced, her blood seemed to boil, and she felt dizzy. Not knowing where to put her hands, she clung to his neck, while his large hand encircled her slender waist, his lips fiercely plunging into hers…
Lin Zhaojiang had only one thought: he wanted her!
His somewhat ruthless and aggressive aura somehow touched upon some fragment of Song Wan's deepest memory.
A blurry image suddenly flashed through her blank mind... It seemed to be just like now, a man pinning her down in a car, like a general conquering territory, launching a massive invasion into her body...
"ah!"
She screamed and struggled desperately!
This struggle was not the soft, half-hearted resistance of before, but a desperate effort.
Lin Zhaojiang was startled and quickly let go of her, trying to hold her in his arms while she was still emotionally agitated. However, Song Wan struggled fiercely, crying and shouting, so he had no choice but to wait for her to calm down on her own.
"Wanwan..." The worry in his eyes was like two thick fogs that couldn't be dispelled. "Wanwan, what's wrong?"
