“It’s not mine,” Jiang Tingzhou answered firmly. “I don’t know anything about her private life, so I can’t offer any options.”
"Then... Jiang De'an was able to find Melissa, which means he's investigated you pretty thoroughly. When you go back for surgery this time, will he... take advantage of you when you're most vulnerable?" Xu Wan had been worried about this, and after saying it, she couldn't help but ask, "How about I go with you?"
She almost lost him last time.
I don't want to experience that kind of anger again.
Jiang Tingzhou cupped the woman's face and said, "Don't be fooled by my uncle's seemingly timid and kind demeanor. He is actually very proud and arrogant. The story about Ryan's past was actually tailor-made for him. Given his personality, he certainly wouldn't actively suspect that Ryan is me. However, what I did did cause him significant losses. It's possible that he knew I was going to have surgery and targeted me."
"Then...what should we do?"
Xu Wan was a little nervous.
In truth, she knew that with her own abilities, if Jiang De'an really did something underhanded, she couldn't help Jiang Tingzhou.
Jiang Tingzhou leaned down and kissed the woman's forehead, explaining what he had done. "I have people around him who are trusted by him. I control his every move. Whether I have surgery or am hospitalized, I will find the best bodyguards and mercenaries to protect my safety. If you want to help me, then take good care of yourself so that I can have surgery and rehabilitation in peace. We can reunite in June."
Xu Wan withdrew her foam-covered hand and used the foam to draw two lines under the man's eyes: "Okay, then I'll wait for you to come back."
The man cupped the back of the woman's head with his hand again and kissed her.
The foam that had just been applied to his face immediately stained the woman's cheeks.
Xu Wan's clothes were completely soaked.
The man warmed the clothes while removing them from the woman's body.
The bathtub has a thermostat function, and the water temperature didn't get cold even after such a long time.
The man's gentle kisses traveled down her neck...
The two stayed in the bathroom for almost an hour before Xu Wan came out, feeling a bit short of breath.
She walked to the sink wrapped in a bathrobe, and Jiang Tingzhou maneuvered his wheelchair over, reached down to open a cabinet, and naturally took out a hairdryer.
Her hairdryer was left there.
It hasn't changed in years.
Jiang Tingzhou pulled the woman into his arms, moved the wheelchair to the bedside, and plugged in the hairdryer.
Xu Wan lay down, resting her head on the man's lap, her long hair loose.
Jiang Tingzhou turned the hairdryer to its lowest setting and gently dried the woman's hair.
Xu Wan looked up at the man's face and murmured, "Honey, what time is your flight tomorrow?"
"It's tentatively scheduled for 2 PM, but it can be changed at any time."
"No need to change it, we'll still leave even if we change it again."
"Yes, I will keep in touch with you and Xiaoxiao every day."
"good."
Even the loud whirring of the hairdryer couldn't stop Xu Wan from drifting into a half-asleep state.
Xu Wan's eyelids grew heavier and heavier, and finally drooped uncontrollably as she peacefully drifted off to sleep.
Jiang Tingzhou set the hairdryer to the gentlest setting and patiently dried the woman's long hair, carefully checking even the roots before putting the hairdryer away.
He carefully picked up the woman and placed her on the pillow before he went to sleep himself.
Xu Wan didn't wake up throughout the entire process. Only after he lay down did the woman snuggle up to him like an octopus, pulling him into her arms and murmuring, "Husband, don't go..."
Jiang Tingzhou lay still.
For no reason, she recalled the first time the two of them shared a bed, which could be considered a dream, as she held him tightly and wouldn't let go.
This time, however, she wasn't having a nightmare; she was dreaming about him.
