Chapter 126 Can She Still Accept Favor?
These four people did not send her the messages at the same time.
Jiang Ranxing opened the message list and read through them one by one.
Wen Qingrang: [Ranxing, how's the wound on your head? It's time to go to the hospital for a dressing change. I'm afraid you'll forget, so I'll pick you up from your apartment building so we can go together.]
Pei Senlang: [Jiang, one of the artists you liked when you were in school is having an exhibition. I managed to snag two tickets. Would you do me the honor of going with me?]
Ji Shiheng: [There's a dinner party I need a female companion for. Those women are so boring. You're more suitable. Come with me, and I'll use my project bonus to get one.]
Fu Shenyuan: [Why didn't you say anything before leaving? I have something to tell you. When is it convenient for you to meet?]
After reading the messages these people sent her, Jiang Ranxing subconsciously touched her head.
My head still hurts a little.
It seems it really is time to change the dressing. If Wen Qingrang hadn't reminded her, she would have almost forgotten.
It just so happens that it's the weekend, so I still have time to go to the hospital.
Jiang Ranxing chose to reply to Wen Qingrang's message.
She didn't reply to those three people for the time being; she thought she'd talk to them later.
Thank you for reminding me. I happen to be driving out right now, so I'll stop by the hospital to get my dressing changed.
A few seconds after the message was sent, Wen Qingrang quickly replied.
Okay, then drive carefully and don't bump your head.
Jiang Ranxing: [Okay, don't worry.]
Jiang Ranxing turned off his phone, started the car, stepped on the gas, and the car sped away from Yinxiu Manor in a puff of smoke.
In the hospital parking lot.
After Jiang Ranxing found a parking space and parked her car, as she got out and locked it, a figure slowly walked towards her.
Jiang Ranxing looked up, smiled gently, and spoke.
"When did you arrive? Why didn't you tell me?"
Wen Qingrang looked at Jiang Ranxing and smiled gently as she walked.
“I happened to be near the hospital, so I thought I'd come and keep you company, in case you were scared.”
Jiang Ranxing's expression softened slightly as she said jokingly, "This isn't my first time at the hospital, and I'm not a child who needs your care."
Wen Qingrang didn't say anything and walked side by side with her towards the elevator.
"Let's go, I've already spoken to the doctor."
Jiang Ranxing blinked her bright eyes, somewhat surprised by Wen Qingrang's thoughtfulness.
When we arrived at the hospital department, the doctor was indeed already waiting.
This is a high-end private hospital, so there are fewer people here, unlike public hospitals.
The doctor patiently examined Jiang Ranxing's wound, changed the dressing, and gave her many instructions.
Jiang Ranxing wrote everything down. She turned her head slightly and noticed that Wen Qingrang was also taking notes.
Jiang Ranxing was momentarily stunned by his expression.
This was the first man in her life to show her such care and concern.
In the six years of her marriage to Fu Shenyuan, she never once felt cared for.
Fu Shenyuan never paid any attention to her, and she was never cared for by anyone, so she got used to it and subconsciously assumed that everyone lived like this.
But she forgot one thing: that she was someone who could be cared for and looked after.
Jiang Ranxing felt that she had been completely wrong in the past.
How could someone be so blinded by so-called love?
Perhaps the heavy blow Jiang Huanchen dealt her not only restored her memory, but also forced her mind to regain its clarity and rationality.
Fu Shenyuan may be the tribulation of love that she must encounter in this life, one that she cannot avoid or escape, and one that she must walk through barefoot through.
Fortunately, this ordeal is finally over, and Jiang Ranxing thinks that life from now on should be happier.
No matter what, my life will be happier than before after leaving Fu Shenyuan.
The doctor treated her wound and gave her the prescribed medical advice.
As the two walked out of the department, Wen Qingrang turned to her and asked, "What are you thinking about? You seem a little absent-minded."
Jiang Ranxing shook her head, not wanting to mention Fu Shenyuan and cause him worry, so she said, "It's just overthinking, there's nothing to talk about, it's all just unhappy things."
Wen Qingrang laughed and shrugged his shoulders, saying, "It's okay. As long as you want to talk to someone, I can be your listener."
"Thank you, Qingrang, you always make me feel so comfortable."
Jiang Ranxing smiled and said.
Wen Qingrang said softly, "Hearing you say that, I feel much more at ease."
"how?"
"I'm afraid you'll feel pressured being with me, since we're both connected to Shen Yuan." Wen Qingrang's smile faded slightly.
After listening, Jiang Ranxing remained silent for a while, then blinked, clasped her hands together a few times, and then said, "Would you like to eat something together? It's almost dinner time."
Wen Qingrang was slightly stunned for a moment. When he realized that Jiang Ranxing had really taken the initiative to invite him, he smiled and nodded.
"Okay, what do you want to eat?"
Jiang Ranxing casually said, "Anywhere is fine, you pick the place."
Wen Qingrang said, "Then let's drive my car and go."
When Jiang Ranxing sat in the passenger seat of Wen Qingrang's car, he found that the passenger seat had changed.
Not only were the seats covered with soft wool cushions, but the neck pillows were also replaced with softer ones, and a thin blanket was placed on top.
Jiang Ranxing was somewhat stunned: "You prepared this? Who is it for?"
Wen Qingrang was turning the steering wheel to leave the parking lot, his eyes on the road ahead, as if casually saying, "This is for you."
Wen Qingrang glanced at Jiang Ranxing and said, "I thought it would be much more comfortable for you to sit down, and it would be better for your health too."
Jiang Ranxing came to her senses, her expression inscrutable.
After a long pause, she asked, "Qingrang, why are you so good to me? I don't really understand."
Is it just because they're friends?
The two of them really got along well and were very compatible in terms of their thoughts.
However, they didn't actually meet that many times.
As for friendship, it's hardly anything.
In ordinary friendships, there are probably not many people who can be as gentle and considerate as Wen Qingrang.
There are only two possibilities regarding Wen Qingrang's various acts of kindness towards her.
One reason is that Wen Qingrang had something in mind, which is why he was so attentive.
Another possibility is that Wen Qingrang might have feelings for her.
Wen Qingrang smiled, a smile that held a deeper meaning.
"Burning Star, you're so smart, you should be able to figure it out too. I have no ill intentions towards you, so it's just another possibility you're thinking of."
Jiang Ranxing looked at him; he had actually guessed what she was thinking.
Could it be that their thoughts communicated across space?
Jiang Ranxing rejected this impossible and absurd idea.
So, to get back to reality, Wen Qingrang did have feelings for her.
Jiang Ranxing paused, and after a while said, "But I still have a common-law marriage, you..."
For her now, it's not necessarily impossible to accept a new person.
However, her marriage with Fu Shenyuan was not completely over, and she had no interest in that.
Similarly, her heartbreaking and exhausting marriage with Fu Shenyuan instilled in her a fear of romantic relationships.
Subconsciously, she was afraid of being hurt again; it was a subconscious way for her body to protect itself.
Even though Wen Qingrang is gentle, unlike Fu Shenyuan, her heart is already wounded and scarred, and she no longer has the courage, impulsiveness, and fearlessness of her youth.
However, Wen Qingrang didn't know how he had figured it out. He wasn't the type of person to overstep boundaries or do anything to interfere in other people's lives.
Jiang Ranxing narrowed his eyes, tilted his head to look at Wen Qingrang, and slowly said, "You already know?"
Wen Qingrang nodded, a faint smile curving his lips.
Jiang Ranxing was a little confused: "When did this happen?"
Wen Qingrang said, "Do you remember when we first met at the Fu family's house during Old Master Fu's birthday banquet?"
Jiang Ranxing began to recall that moment: "The time I was resting in the garden of the old house, and you came over to say hello."
Jiang Ranxing tried hard to think, but still couldn't come up with a solution.
At that time, she only exchanged a few words with Wen Qingrang and did not say anything else.
"At that time, I hadn't told anyone how you knew."
Could there be some detail she overlooked?
Wen Qingrang didn't keep him in suspense and said, "That's what Shen Yuan's men call you."
Jiang Ranxing thought back for a moment before realizing what had happened.
