Are you looking for Yan Zhou?
Mo Sangyu asked softly, her tone gentle and her actions considerate.
She bent down and helped him sit up from the bed.
Jing Min hesitated for a moment, but did not refuse.
"Thanks"
His voice, just after waking up, was low and husky, sexy, warm and pleasant.
She is extremely approachable.
He didn't reject her advances—doesn't that mean...?
He didn't reject her the way he rejected other women.
Perhaps... one day, I'll slowly come to like her?
A blush of joy quietly crept onto Mo Sangyu's cheeks, and a gentle smile played on her lips.
But that joy only lasted a moment.
Then worry replaced it.
"What happened?"
"How could someone have injured the back of the head? Thankfully, it didn't cause any mild concussion."
She bent down to straighten the drooping corner of the blanket for him, her brow furrowed.
"Ah Min, have you found out who it is?"
Mo Sangyu's concerns are not without merit.
Jing Min has experienced too many attacks over the years, including assassinations, poisonings, and shootings; there has hardly been a peaceful year for him.
Security measures have been fully upgraded.
These days, even when he goes out for a meal, he is surrounded by bodyguards from all directions.
Logically speaking, it shouldn't be easy for someone to get close to you.
Not to mention being hit hard from behind.
Jingmin lowered his eyes and slowly drank the water she offered.
He clearly didn't want to talk about it.
Mo Sangyu understood immediately and didn't ask any further questions.
Their contractual marriage lasted for almost three years.
Although the total time spent actually getting to know each other and meeting each other might not even add up to two or three months.
But they had already developed a tacit understanding that required no further words.
She took the water glass from his hand and gently put it down.
These things don't require her to worry about much.
Jing Min always seeks revenge; anyone who dares to hurt him never ends up well.
She glanced at the dim room light, as if checking the brightness.
"Ah Min, you haven't had nightmares in a long time. Did something happen that made you angry again?"
Jingmin knew that Jingmin had a family history of hereditary diseases.
This disease is most aggravated by emotional fluctuations, even though the diagnosis indicates a cure.
But medicine is never 100% accurate.
In the first year of their marriage, to avoid suspicion, the two briefly shared a bedroom.
However, Jingmin slept on the sofa.
He suffered from insomnia for nights on end.
After the surprise attack, his insomnia turned into a series of nightmares.
I woke up several times during the night.
She would dim the lights.
It was also because she knew that Jingmin was most afraid of bright light when he woke up from a nightmare and lost control of his emotions.
However, in the past year, he has become increasingly indifferent, and he almost never has these sudden nightmares anymore.
I didn't expect it to be like this again.
Is it because being in China would cause him emotional fluctuations?
He had lost everything here and had hardly set foot here in recent years.
She didn't know who he had met or if old memories had resurfaced, causing him to lose his composure.
She hesitated, wondering whether she should suggest that the two of them return to the chiefdom sooner.
Although she didn't understand business, she knew that the Jin family's focus was there.
These domestic markets are beneath the notice of any noble in the chiefdom, let alone Jing Min, who is in power.
But she rejected the idea as soon as it came to her mind.
Jingmin hates it when others influence his decisions.
She didn't want to be rejected by him.
Moreover, the three-year contract is about to expire, a crucial moment, and she still hasn't been able to capture his heart.
But there's also good news: he hasn't proposed ending the relationship yet.
Could she tacitly assume that he, too, wanted to continue?
What are you doing here?
Jing Min didn't answer her question, but asked somewhat absentmindedly,
Mo Sangyu stood up.
"You're injured. Yan Zhou called me here. Are you looking for him?"
I'll go and call him for you.
Jingmin's tone was indifferent.
"Need not"
He looked up and stared intently at the dark circles under the woman's beautiful eyes, his gaze deepening slightly.
"Have you been here all alone?"
Mo Sangyu was stunned for a moment.
She actually wanted to nod for a moment, but she said the truth instead.
"No, I'll be here in less than an hour,"
"I saw Yan Zhou in the ward when I arrived; he must have stayed with you all night."
Jingmin hates women who are scheming and deceitful the most.
She knew.
A man like him, showing his talent and ambition at a young age, even before he came to power.
Her face alone is enough to make people flock to her.
Not to mention now.
As the head of the Jin family, standing at the top of the power pyramid, countless women wanted to get close to him.
If she really wanted to keep him, those clumsy little tricks would only ruin her future.
His question just now,
She did consider ways of brushing it off, such as giving a perfunctory nod or simply not answering.
Jing Min might not ask any further questions.
Staying up all night and offering tender comfort might very well stir his emotions.
Moreover, given his personality, he certainly wouldn't be so bored as to ask Yan Zhou for confirmation over such a trivial matter.
Even if he were really so idle as to ask, she was certain that Yan Zhou wouldn't expose her.
The people around him have always treated her with great respect.
From her special assistant to her bodyguards, everyone assumed she was the "most suitable" one.
Over the years, I've even tried to bring them together, both openly and secretly, quite a few times.
But she still didn't dare to gamble.
She was afraid—
I'm afraid he might feel even the slightest bit of disgust in his heart.
Aside from the misunderstanding on the first night they became a couple
In the years that followed, she never played any tricks.
