Chapter 380 Explain the Reason
His explanation sounded weak and feeble.
Those past injuries and those traces of He Wanqing's existence cannot be easily erased with just a few words.
Trust is something that, once broken, is very difficult to put back together.
Seeing her stubborn expression, Chi Wenyan felt a deep sense of powerlessness sweeping over his body.
All his explanations seemed so futile in front of her.
Frustration gnawed at his sanity.
He closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, there was only a resolute and cold look in his eyes.
"good."
He let go of her, took out his phone, and quickly dialed a number.
The call was connected almost immediately.
Chi Wenyan's voice was as cold as ice.
"He Wanqing, come to the VIP ward of the Central Hospital immediately, now."
Without giving the other party any chance to speak, he hung up the phone.
Ji Wan was stunned.
She didn't understand what he was going to do.
"What are you doing?"
Chi Wenyan threw the phone back into his pocket and looked at her face again with an almost paranoid stubbornness.
"If you don't believe me, then let her tell you in person, right in front of you, whether there is anything between her and me."
The atmosphere in the ward was extremely depressing.
Time passed by minute by minute, and every second seemed like torture.
Not long after, there was a knock on the ward door.
Then, He Wanqing, wearing a professional suit and exquisite makeup, pushed the door and walked in.
When she saw the situation in the ward, especially when she saw Ji Wan, who was pale and wearing a hospital gown, and Chi Wenyan, who exuded an aura of keeping strangers away, a hint of subtle surprise and inquiry flashed in her eyes.
"Boss Chi, are you looking for me?"
He Wanqing's voice was still gentle, but facing Chi Wenyan at this moment, she instinctively felt a little fear.
Chi Wenyan didn't look at her, his eyes were always fixed on Ji Wan.
He raised his chin and gestured to He Wanqing.
"Tell her."
His voice was flat, yet it carried an undeniable pressure.
He Wanqing's heart trembled, and she subconsciously looked at Ji Wan.
Looking at Ji Wan's clear yet inquiring eyes, and feeling the powerful sense of oppression emanating from Chi Wenyan, she instantly understood something.
Is Mr. Chi trying to prove his innocence?
For this woman?
An indescribable bitterness surged in her heart, but she didn't dare to show it at all.
Under Chi Wenyan's cold gaze, He Wanqing took a deep breath, looked at Ji Wan, and tried to make her voice sound calm and sincere.
"Ms. Ji, Mr. Chi and I really have nothing to do with each other. Maybe I had some inappropriate thoughts about him before, but he never responded. Now, we are just in a pure relationship. Please don't misunderstand me."
Her words reached Ji Wan's ears clearly.
With Chi Wenyan like a huge mountain pressing down on her, she didn't dare to lie.
Every word seemed to strike at Ji Wan's heart.
Ji Wan looked at He Wanqing, then at Chi Wenyan.
The eagerness and frankness in the man's eyes did not seem fake.
There was no flaw in the helplessness and evasion in He Wanqing's tone.
So she really misunderstood?
Has she been worrying about nothing all this time?
But clearly...
She took a deep breath, looked at the man and said, "You went to the hospital to see her."
Chi Wenyan said bluntly, without any ambiguity, "That's because of you."
The woman's expression changed, she thought of something and sighed.
But the heavy stone in her heart seemed to finally loosen.
My tense nerves suddenly relaxed, my eyes suddenly felt hot without warning, and tears burst out.
When Chi Wenyan saw her crying, he frowned with heartache. He took a step forward and gently held her in his arms.
"Do you believe it now?"
His voice was low and hoarse, with a hint of subtle fatigue and fear.
Ji Wan buried herself in his arms, feeling the warmth of his chest and the strong heartbeat. The grievances, fears, and anxieties accumulated in her heart all turned into tears and burst out at this moment.
She didn't say anything, but just reached out and tightly grasped the corner of his clothes.
This action is worth a thousand words.
Chi Wenyan's tense body finally relaxed. He patted her back gently, comforting her silently.
He Wanqing, who was standing aside, looked at the two people hugging each other tightly and felt it was extremely dazzling.
She suppressed the jealousy and resentment in her heart and was about to leave quietly.
"Don't let your imagination run wild anymore. You're not alone anymore. Take good care of yourself. Also..."
Chi Wenyan's low voice sounded, with a hint of warning, but more of doting.
His eyes subconsciously fell on Ji Wan's flat belly, and his tone was so gentle that water could drip out.
"Our children."
boom.
He Wanqing's eyes widened suddenly as if she was struck by lightning.
child?
Ji Wan is pregnant?
Chi Wenyan’s child?
This realization was like a poisoned dagger, piercing her heart.
Why?
Why is this woman so cherished by Chi Wenyan?
Why is she still pregnant with his child?
Intense jealousy grew wildly like a vine, instantly entwining her internal organs and almost swallowing her.
Her nails dug deep into her palms, but she tried to keep a calm face.
She lowered her head, hiding the resentment and madness surging in her eyes, turned around, and quickly left the ward that was suffocating her.
The next morning, sunlight filtered through the gaps in the blinds, casting mottled shadows on the floor.
Ji Wan opened his eyes and saw Chi Wenyan's peaceful sleeping face.
The turbulent emotions of last night still lingered in her heart, but at this moment, what she was more concerned about were the victims who were also caught up in this turmoil.
She gently lifted the quilt and wanted to get out of bed.
A big warm hand pressed her shoulder in time.
Chi Wenyan had woken up at some point, his deep black eyes staring at her quietly.
"Where do you want to go?"
His voice was hoarse, a characteristic of the early morning, yet it was filled with a force that brooked no argument.
Ji Wan pursed her lips and looked out the window.
"I want to see how the others are doing."
She was always worried about those who were imprisoned with her, especially the little boy.
Chi Wenyan's brows furrowed slightly, and his big hands tightened, pressing her back onto the soft bed.
His tone was firm.
"No, the doctor said you need to rest, especially now."
His gaze fell on her lower abdomen again, where their new hope was nurtured, and no mistakes were allowed.
Ji Wan tried to argue.
"But……"
"No buts."
Chi Wenyan interrupted her, his tone firm but with a hint of imperceptible tenderness.
"I will take care of their affairs. Your only task now is to take care of your health."
Facing his persistent gaze, Ji Wan finally gave in.
The physical fatigue was indeed reminding her that she was not as strong as she thought.
Helplessly, Ji Wan could only rest in the hospital for another week.
