Chapter 287 Liang Yi's Willingness Exceeds His Capacity
Liang Yizhi's probing gaze fell on her face.
Hasn't the memory already been restored?
Why can't I remember Shen Jingxiu giving her anything?
She didn't seem to be faking it, so after thinking for a moment, he asked in return, "Didn't they tell you?"
Ji Ying pursed her lips, intending to get out of his arms.
Liang Yizhi hugged the person even tighter.
"It's one of his research findings. If you don't know it, don't ask. Anyway, you're not Shen Ruoheng, and knowing this will only cause you more trouble."
Ji Ying blinked. "So you know who was behind this back then, right?"
“Yingying,” Liang Yizhi’s gaze turned somewhat somber, “the roots of a large tree have already entangled the entire forest. If you try to shake the trunk now, you will only be buried by the leaves.”
Ji Ying turned her head to look out the window and fell silent.
Liang Yizhi assumed she was dissatisfied with his answer and was still thinking about divorce, so he immediately turned her face to face him, preventing her from running away any further.
“You…you can’t do this…I chose Shen Aizhu because I was confident I could save you. I was greedy and chose a way to have the best of both worlds. I…I thought at the time that no matter what the outcome, this time, I would be with you.”
Perhaps he was a little excited, because he spoke haltingly and incoherently.
In fact, after calming down, Ji Ying reflected on the situation. If he chose her, the kidnappers might not have released her so easily. In that case, having two burdens would have made Liang Yizhi feel constrained.
“Yingying, no matter what you say, I will not get a divorce. Even if you abuse me, I will not get a divorce.”
This is the first time I've seen Liang Yizhi like this.
Ji Ying was slightly taken aback, and the forced aloofness in her eyes could no longer be maintained. The corners of her lips curved up, and she couldn't help but laugh out loud once again.
"I've never even thought about divorce, why have you brought it up so many times?"
Liang Yizhi paused for a moment, then instantly understood.
"...Are you kidding me?"
A mixture of immense relief and embarrassment at being teased by her instantly enveloped him.
He looked at her smiling face so close to his, her clear eyes both mischievous and captivating.
Liang Yizhi's eyes darkened, he grabbed Ji Ying's chin, and lowered his head to kiss her still smiling lips.
The kiss carried a hint of punishment, yet the moment it touched her lips, it transformed into an uncontrollable indulgence.
As their breaths mingled, Ji Ying felt the change in him as her hand, which was around the back of his neck, stirred her emotions.
Is he planning to take things a step further here?
But suddenly, his enthusiasm came to an abrupt end.
Ji Ying opened her eyes and saw Liang Yizhi's forehead covered in sweat and his face slightly pale.
Liang Yi suppressed his heavy breathing and said, "I really want to make my wife happy, but today I'm just not up to the task."
"you……"
Ji Ying suddenly remembered the injury on his back. He shouldn't be able to be discharged from the hospital at this time, right?
"Take off your clothes and let me see."
As she spoke, she reached out to unbutton his shirt.
Liang Yizhi quickly stopped him, "No, it'll get stuck."
Ji Ying was so angry she wanted to punch him, but she couldn't bring herself to do it because she felt sorry for him. So she turned to the driver's seat and called out, "Jiang Ran, go to the hospital."
...
The burns on Liang Yi's back were shocking; he wouldn't let Ji Ying see them when the doctor changed his dressing.
Ji Ying didn't insist and waited outside the treatment room.
This kidnapping incident cannot be simply forgotten in her mind just because Shen Aizhu was arrested and four kidnappers were killed.
The events of fourteen years ago must be related to someone surnamed Pang.
What her father gave her was very important to the woman surnamed Pang.
But she really didn't remember that period of time and couldn't recall where she had put it.
Thinking of this, Ji Ying rubbed her head.
"Sister Ying, are you feeling unwell?" Jiang Ran asked.
Ji Ying looked up at her and suddenly asked, "Do you know anything about Shen Jingxiu's recent situation?"
Jiang Ran was stunned for a moment.
"Professor Shen's whereabouts have always been top secret. His two adopted daughters have not seen him in all these years. All matters are handled personally by Mr. Liang's first secretary. Even the second secretaries like Xue Qin and Yue Zheng cannot get in touch with him."
This answer was exactly what Ji Ying expected. Given her father's status, Liang Yizhi would naturally protect him perfectly.
Besides him, the only other person who probably knew the truth was Madam Shen.
Ji Ying walked to the window and looked at the fountain in front of the outpatient building.
“You work alongside me, but Liang Yizhi is also practically your boss. If one day our positions clash, whose side will you take?”
This question instantly gave Jiang Ran the feeling of being asked, "If your parents divorce, who will you live with?"
A slight smile appeared on her lips. "Sister Ying, you and your husband have been incredibly kind to me, but you... are even more so."
Ji Ying's eyes were filled with laughter, her tone slightly reproachful, "Who taught you to be so glib?"
Jiang Ran scratched the back of her head and laughed.
Ji Ying immediately suppressed her smile and lowered her voice, saying, "Help me find out about Teacher Shen's situation, but don't let anyone know."
Jiang Ran was surprised for a moment, then nodded, "Okay, wait for my news."
As soon as he finished speaking, the door to the treatment room opened.
The doctor came out first.
“The patient’s burn area on his back is not small. Strictly speaking, he must be hospitalized for anti-infection treatment, fluid replacement, and standard wound dressing. But he said he must return to Beijing today, so I could only strongly suggest that he receive at least one set of intravenous antibiotics and electrolyte solutions to stabilize his condition before he can leave.”
Ji Ying didn't hesitate, "Okay, you can arrange it."
The thought that he had forced himself to leave the hospital with such injuries to come to see her, and had endured it for so long, filled her with both anger and bitterness.
"In addition," the doctor added, "it is essential to minimize back movement and friction to prevent the wound from tearing again."
"Understood, I will be careful," Ji Ying replied solemnly.
The intravenous infusion was arranged in a separate ward.
Liang Yizhi lay face down on the hospital bed, in his most comfortable position.
Ji Ying held his IV tube in one hand, hoping the liquid passing through her palm would be a little warmer.
Liang Yizhi looked at her, his face full of smiles.
"Wife..."
"Shut up!"
"……oh."
Just then, Ji Ying's phone rang; it was Lin Meizhen calling.
"Yingying, come to Tianhe Yunjing for lunch. Where are you? I'll have Yanchuan pick you up."
Ji Ying glanced at Liang Yizhi on the hospital bed and agreed, "I'll go over by myself in a bit."
"Okay, I'll cook a few dishes for you myself." Lin Meizhen happily hung up the phone.
Ji Ying put her phone in her bag and stood up.
Liang Yizhi looked up and said, "Take me with you."
Ji Ying looked at him coldly, "The doctor told you not to move around. Jiang Ran will stay with you."
After saying that, she turned to leave.
Liang Yizhi grabbed her hand. "I'm your husband. It's fine if we're not in Kunshi, but if we're here and someone invites you, it's not polite for you to refuse."
What kind of illogical thinking is that?
However, when she met his pleading eyes, Ji Ying softened.
"Okay, let's go together after you finish your IV drip."
Liang Yizhi slightly raised the corners of his lips.
Just as they were about to leave, Ji Ying's phone rang again, this time from an unknown number.
Ji Ying deliberately delayed for about ten seconds before answering the call.
The voice that came through the phone was Shen Ruofu's.
