Chapter 244 His Gentle Concern
A look of panic flashed in Lin Xuesha's eyes, and her confidence in questioning her earlier weakened.
"What do you mean by that, Shen Yuan? I... I did save you back then, that's a fact. Why would you ask that?"
Lin Xuesha wondered to herself, could it be that Fu Shenyuan really saw through something?
That shouldn't be the case. She hasn't been in contact with Fu Shenyuan recently, so she shouldn't know anything about it.
Could it be that Jiang Ranxing said it?
No, Jiang Ranxing doesn't remember anything, so it's even more impossible for her to remember this market.
Fu Shenyuan stared at Lin Xuesha and saw the helplessness in her expression.
He asked again, "Xue Sha, I'll ask you one more time, are you really sure that person was you back then?"
Lin Xuesha knew, of course, that she wasn't, but she couldn't admit it.
"I'm sure, I was the one who risked my life to save you from the sea, Brother Xiaochuan. Are you doubting me?"
The name "Brother Xiaochuan" made Fu Shenyuan momentarily lose his senses.
Over the years, he has never forgotten the name Xiao Chuan Gege (Brother Xiao Chuan), a name given to him by his starlight. He has also never forgotten how she shone like a bright star in his world during those dark days.
Fu Shenyuan shook his head and sighed silently.
"Xue Sha, let's not argue about this anymore. I will never forget your kindness to me, but it's different from my feelings for Ran Xing. I don't want to do anything I'll regret again."
Fu Shenyuan was unwilling to continue with her, and Lin Xuesha immediately understood his meaning.
"Go back, I'll have someone take you and Xiao Che back."
After Fu Shenyuan finished speaking, he ordered his men to take the two of them away.
Lin Xuesha was unwilling and still grabbed Fu Shenyuan's arm, pleading, "Shenyuan, but I can't live without you. Have you forgotten why you were so cruel to me?"
Lin Xuesha used her usual pitiful and weak appearance, hoping to make Fu Shenyuan turn around and look at her.
But this trick doesn't seem to be working anymore.
Fu Shenyuan's expression clearly showed disgust, so Lin Xuesha had no choice but to stop while she was ahead. If she put any more pressure on Fu Shenyuan at this point, it might backfire.
Lin Xuesha could only say pitifully, "Okay, it's good that we're apart for a while. Then you'll know who truly loves you and is willing to wait for you."
Lin Xuesha grabbed Xiao Che's hand: "Let's go. Your father doesn't really want to see us right now. Let's go and not upset him."
Xiao Che wasn't very happy. She walked over to Fu Shenyuan, took his big hand in her little hand, and looked up at him, saying, "Daddy Fu, when you're in a better mood, can you come and see Xiao Che? Xiao Che really misses you."
Xiao Che looked so innocent and pitiful that Fu Shenyuan couldn't bear to be cruel to such a young child, so he nodded.
"Okay, you go home with your mother first. I'll come to see you when I have time."
Xiao Che nodded obediently: "Yes, yes, I will always wait for Father Fu."
Xiao Che then released Fu Shenyuan's hand with satisfaction and went back to take Lin Xuesha's hand as they walked away together.
Fu Shenyuan also said to Tan Shen beside him, "Go and call Yiyi back, we're going home."
Upon hearing this, Tan Shen nodded and went to the garden to find Fu Xingyi.
Meanwhile, on the other side, after leaving home, Jiang Ranxing took a lot of materials for her work to the studio. Before she knew it, it was getting darker, and she had been working for several hours straight.
After finishing her work, she compressed the files and sent them to the client's email address. Only then did she relax and want to have a glass of water, only to find that she had already finished drinking the water in her glass.
As Jiang Ranxing got up to pour water, she felt a little dizzy. She propped herself up on the table with one hand and touched her forehead with the other, only to realize that she had a fever.
The temperature feels quite high; it seems to be burning quite a bit. No wonder I felt a bit weak when I was looking at the documents earlier.
Jiang Ranxing checked the time. She had originally planned to take two fever-reducing pills and that would be it. But then she vaguely remembered Wen Qingrang sitting across from her in this office not long ago and saying, "Take care of yourself." She stood up, grabbed her car keys, and went out.
Upon arriving at the hospital, Jiang Ranxing went directly to the fever emergency room. After examination, it was found that the fever was caused by the flu due to low immunity.
The doctor prescribed medicine for Jiang Ranxing to have an IV drip. She took the medicine and sat alone in the infusion area, silently receiving the IV.
There were other patients receiving IV drips nearby, and Jiang Ranxing's attention was drawn to a young couple who were arguing.
The girl had a fever and felt very unwell: "The project proposal that my supervisor needs is due next week, but my head is all foggy and I can't write anything at all! What should I do?"
The boy comforted her, saying, "Okay, okay, don't be sad. I'll help you write it when we get back. Now you should rest so you'll have energy!"
"But I feel really unwell, and I want to eat candied hawthorns!"
"I'll take you shopping after your IV drip is finished, okay? We can buy whatever you want to eat."
The two of them looked at each other and laughed.
The girl noticed Jiang Ranxing's gaze when she turned her head to the side.
"Sorry, were we too noisy and disturbed you? We'll keep our voices down."
The girl looked at Jiang Ranxing apologetically and apologized.
Jiang Ranxing smiled, shook her head, and then looked away.
She wasn't bothered by the noise, but rather by seeing the girl sick with someone by her side, the two of them chatting and laughing as if all their pain had vanished.
Looking back at myself, after experiencing so many relationships, I ended up with no one by my side when I fell ill.
Jiang Ranxing laughed self-deprecatingly. In the end, all the talk about feelings had yielded nothing.
Jiang Ranxing looked down at his hand receiving the IV drip, lost in thought for a moment.
Suddenly, a hot water bottle to warm her hands was placed beside her.
Jiang Ranxing was startled and looked up along the hand with its distinct knuckles. Wen Qingrang was standing in front of her, bending down to pick up her hand that was receiving an IV drip and place it on a hot water bottle. He even patted her hand gently as if to comfort her.
Then, Wen Qingrang naturally found a chair and sat down next to Jiang Ranxing to keep her company.
Jiang Ranxing's eyes flickered, filled with questions: why was Wen Qingrang here, and where did he get these things from?
Wen Qingrang seemed to be able to hear her thoughts: "I knew it when you left the studio to go to the hospital. You didn't come over just now because you went to buy this little thing."
Wen Qingrang pointed to the warm thing under Jiang Ranxing's hand.
Jiang Ranxing was somewhat dazed, thinking he was still dreaming.
Wen Qingrang continued to comfort her in a gentle and soft voice.
"You should be able to get rid of the fever after the IV drip. Take this time to rest and get some sleep. I'll be watching over you, and I'll call the nurse to remove the needle when it's done. Don't worry."
Jiang Ranxing was finally certain that Wen Qingrang was indeed by her side. Her fragile heart, which had been sick, received gentle comfort. Her nose tingled, and she leaned back in her chair and slowly closed her eyes.
