Chapter 504 The Problematic Baby VS The Arrogant Guy Who Loves to Ask Questions 56
"What did you say?" Ji Yunhua's voice sounded like it was being squeezed out of his throat.
She could hardly believe what she was hearing.
Suddenly, she staggered forward and slapped Lu Jingxun's pale cheek hard with her ringed hand, leaving a bloody mark.
"Smack!"
The entire ward fell completely silent.
"Are you crazy?" At this point, she could no longer contain her anger, her eyes reddening. "Are you going to ruin your future for a murderer?"
For the sake of such a murderer, he actually wanted to destroy himself and his entire life!
Did he ever consider that he wasn't just himself, but also how much effort and energy she and Lu Xingbang had poured into him over the years, how many people's hopes he carried, and how much responsibility he bore...?
Now, he actually wants to just give up everything so easily.
This is extremely disappointing!
Ji Yunhua's chest heaved violently, his emotions churning wildly within him.
Lu Jingxun's head was turned to the side by her slap, and the taste of blood spread on his tongue.
He remained silent with his eyes lowered.
Now, he has no other choice but to rely on this one bargaining chip—himself.
He was well aware that he and Jiang Zhiyi would inevitably separate, at least for now.
As long as they live in the shadow of their parents, there is absolutely no possibility between the two of them.
The only thing he can do now is to protect her and keep her out of jail.
Seeing his mother, whose emotions were about to spiral out of control, Lu Jingxun felt a pang of pity and could only speak again, his voice carrying a hint of compromise and pleading: "Mom, I only have one request, let her go."
...
Jiang Zhiyi was taken out of the detention center. She didn't know what had happened. The person who came only said that she could leave now.
On her way back, a black sedan stopped at the corner, and as she passed by, the window slowly rolled down.
Someone stopped her.
Jiang Zhiyi recognized this person; he was Lu Jingxun's assistant, and had helped her with several things before.
"Miss Jiang, please come with me."
He took Jiang Zhiyi to see Lu Jingxun.
Perhaps because they didn't want to be discovered, the assistant told them they only had thirty minutes, and then stood guard at the door.
Lu Jingxun lay on the hospital bed, his head wrapped in thick gauze, with blood seeping out faintly.
I've never seen him so weak before.
Even though he was forcing himself to stay awake, Jiang Zhiyi could tell that his physical condition was very poor.
Jiang Zhiyi was also feeling very bad.
She lowered her head, her fingers unconsciously intertwining, and softly said, "I'm sorry."
It was a heartfelt and sincere apology from her.
She didn't want to see him get such a serious injury.
If there were a way to undo mistakes, she would never treat him like that again. No matter what, she still hopes he's doing well.
Lu Jingxun's pale lips moved slightly, revealing a crooked smile, and he said softly, "I'm fine."
Hearing his answer, Jiang Zhiyi felt even more uneasy.
How could nothing be wrong?
He's not made of iron, he's made of flesh and blood. He fell so badly and lost so much blood, how could he possibly be alright...?
Jiang Zhiyi clenched her fist, her nails unconsciously digging into her palm.
She looked down at his bandaged forehead, then her gaze slowly moved down to his cheek.
There was a small, light brown mole there, which she would deliberately rub against whenever she kissed him.
Sometimes, when I get playful, I'll bite it with my teeth, making a circle around the mole, as if I'm locking it up.
"I..." Jiang Zhiyi's voice trembled, and a tear suddenly fell, landing on her clothes, "I didn't know it would turn out like this..."
"Don't cry, I'm really okay. I don't blame you." Lu Jingxun raised his hand, trying to touch her, but he couldn't quite reach her.
Jiang Zhiyi moved closer.
Lu Jingxun grasped her hand as she approached.
“Listen to me now.” He exhaled, his tone serious. “We… need to separate for a while.”
The moment the words left his mouth, he saw her eyelashes tremble, but he could only continue, "Wait for me, I'll come back to you, but I can't be sure when exactly, it might be a long time... But I promise, I will definitely come back, and I'll come back as soon as possible. We'll never be apart again. Please wait for me patiently, okay?"
His voice trailed off as he stared at their clasped hands.
There was a soft knock on the door from the assistant, once, twice...
Lu Jingxun knew the time was almost up, so he gripped his fist tighter and said, "Wait for me, I will definitely come back to find you, okay?"
Jiang Zhiyi still had glistening teardrops clinging to her eyelashes. After a while, she nodded gently.
Upon receiving her response, Lu Jingxun's tense shoulders finally relaxed.
The time has come; it's time for her to leave, but I'm also a little reluctant.
Lu Jingxun ran his fingers through her hair, gently pulling her closer to his chest, his warm breath brushing against her reddened eyes.
When he leaned over, his movements were so gentle, as if he were afraid of breaking her, and a comforting kiss landed on her lips.
"good."
I coaxed her with another sentence.
Jiang Zhiyi closed her eyes, tilted her head back, and responded to him.
The two kissed for quite a while.
Until Lu Jingxun pushed her away... there wasn't enough time.
"Remember my words."
Jiang Zhiyi blinked, bit her lip, and nodded again.
He gently ruffled her soft hair and said, "Okay, let's go home now. Go back and get some rest, don't let your parents worry."
After saying that, he released her.
The moment she let go, Jiang Zhiyi felt a hard object in her pocket.
Reaching out, I found a ring that still shone brightly even in the dim light.
