Chapter 508 The press conference ends
After the press conference, Chi Wenyan didn't even have time to change out of his suit. Amidst the flashing lights and the sounds of reporters chasing him, he got into the car with an expressionless face and ordered in a deep voice, "Go to the hospital!"
The car sped away like an arrow, leaving behind a group of media who were still unsatisfied.
At this moment, the internet was completely blown up by Chi Wenyan's domineering and resolute declaration!
"Boss Chi is awesome! This is a real man, fighting head-on for his wife and daughter!"
"I'm crying my eyes out. 'I, Chi Wenyan, only have Ji Wan as my wife! She was, is, and will be in the future!' What kind of fairy tale love is this!"
"Those haters who look down on others, Su Jiujiu's face must be swollen, right? Still want to gain fame by having a son? President Chi said that in this life, there will only be one child with Ji Wan!"
"I feel so sorry for Ji Wan. His daughter is in the ICU, and he's being smeared by his haters and mistress. Luckily, President Chi stepped up!"
"The Chi couple locked themselves up! I swallowed the key!"
Public opinion was almost one-sided in support of Chi Wenyan and Ji Wan. Countless netizens flocked to Ji Wan's social account to leave messages of comfort, and the voices cursing the black fan Su Jiujiu were overwhelming.
Hospital, outside the intensive care unit.
Ji Wan had just finished watching the live broadcast, with tears still in the corners of his eyes and his heart churning, when Chi Wenyan's tall and cold figure appeared at the end of the corridor.
He was still wearing the black suit, but his tie was a little loose. There was an unconcealable fatigue between his brows, but his deep eyes revealed a bit of cautious tenderness the moment he saw Ji Wan.
Ji Wan stared at him as he approached, the air still seeming to have the chilling atmosphere of his press conference.
"How is Nian Nian?" Chi Wenyan walked up to her with a hoarse voice, and his eyes immediately looked at the closed door of the ICU ward.
Ji Wan lowered his eyelids, his voice carrying a hint of weakness after a recent recovery: "The doctor said that the condition has temporarily stabilized. If the recovery is almost complete, he will be able to be discharged from the hospital in no time, but he is not out of danger yet."
"It'll be okay, Nian Nian will be okay." Chi Wenyan repeated in a low voice, as if to comfort Ji Wan, and also as if to cheer himself up.
A delicate silence fell between the two.
Ji Wan looked at him, every image and every word he'd used to defend her at the press conference flashing before her eyes. Those words, with their undeniable power, had indeed brought a touch of warmth to her frozen heart.
"Thank you," she said softly, breaking the silence, "thank you... for clearing things up for me."
Chi Wenyan turned his head and looked at her deeply, his eyes full of complex emotions: "Wanwan, we are husband and wife. It is my responsibility to protect you and Nian Nian."
Ji Wan's eyelashes trembled. She raised her head and met his gaze. Pain and confusion intertwined in her clear eyes: "But you and Su Jiujiu... You can deny everything at the press conference, but I can't pretend I didn't see what happened that night."
Her voice was not loud, but it was sharp and stubborn, piercing the warmth that had just risen.
That photo and the messy bed sheets, like a poisonous thorn, still pierced deep into her heart.
Chi Wenyan's heart tightened, he expected her to ask this.
He stretched out his hand, wanting to touch her, but stopped in mid-air and finally dropped it weakly.
"Wanwan," he said with a hoarse voice, "I know you've suffered a great deal of injustice in this matter. What you saw was indeed part of the truth, but not all."
"All?" Ji Wan's eyes dimmed, with a hint of self-mockery. "Is there anything more 'complete' than the fact that you two slept in the same bed?"
"Give me some time, Wanwan." Chi Wenyan looked at her pale face, heartbroken. "I promise you, I will find out all the truth and tell you everything. Now, Nian Nian still needs us, we can't collapse first."
His tone was pleading, but also firm and unyielding.
Ji Wan bit his lip, feeling a tightness in his chest.
She could feel Chi Wenyan's sincerity at the moment, but that sincerity could not erase the unbearable picture in her mind.
"I don't know..." She shook her head, her voice full of confusion, "Chi Wenyan, I really don't know whether I should trust you again."
"Then wait a little longer." Chi Wenyan took a step forward. This time, he gently grasped her wrist. Her hand was so cold that it startled him. He warmed her with his palm, his eyes blazing. "Wait until Nian Nian gets better, wait until everything is clear. Until then, don't push me away, okay?"
His voice was low and gentle, with a barely perceptible hint of fragility.
Ji Wan didn't struggle, letting him hold her hand. His hand was warm, and through her skin, it conveyed a power that made her not want to resist for the time being.
She was too tired. From the time Nian Nian got into trouble until now, her nerves had been tense. At this moment, the appearance of Chi Wenyan was like a piece of driftwood that she could temporarily lean on.
She did not answer, but silently turned her gaze back to the glass window of the ICU. Inside the window, the small figure was still lying quietly, affecting the two tired and complicated hearts outside the window.
Chi Wenyan didn't say anything else, but just stayed by her side quietly, giving her silent support with his presence.
He knew that rebuilding trust would be a long and difficult journey, but he would not give up.
For Ji Wan, for Nian Nian, and for their family, he will use all his strength to clear away all the fog.
The days passed by in anxiety and anticipation, and Nian Nian's little body was recovering miraculously under the careful care of the medical staff.
The pale little face gradually regained color, and the eyes that occasionally opened began to have an innocent glow.
During this period, Sun Zhou recovered and was discharged from the hospital first.
Ji Wan went to see him off specially.
At the hospital entrance, Sun Zhou was wearing a clean shirt and looked gentle and elegant.
He looked at Ji Wan with his usual gentleness in his eyes: "Xiao Wan, thank you for taking care of me during this time."
Ji Wan shook her head and said sincerely, "Senior Sun, you're too kind. It was you who saved Nian Nian. Nian Nian and I will remember this kindness for the rest of our lives." She bowed slightly to express her deepest gratitude.
Sun Zhou helped her up, still smiling: "Nian Nian is your child after all, I will definitely help if I can."
I watched him grow up, so I'm more than happy to help him than anyone else. If you need anything in the future, feel free to contact me. Don't hesitate."
"Okay." Ji Wan responded. The inexplicable strange feeling in her heart was suppressed by Sun Zhou's gentle smile.
She just thought she was being overly suspicious. After all, Sun Zhou was Nian Nian's savior.
After seeing Sun Zhou off, Ji Wan began to prepare for her and Nian Nian's discharge from the hospital. She did not return to Chi Wenyan's villa, nor did she continue to disturb Fu Chen.
She had just rented a two-bedroom apartment outside, not big, but cozy. She wanted to give Nian Nian a brand new environment that belonged only to her and her daughter.
On the day of moving, Fu Chen came to help. Ji Wan felt bad for him and insisted on treating him to a meal.
The lighting in the restaurant is soft.
