Chapter 108: Your husband didn’t even cry out in pain, but you felt the pain instead
Pei Jingyan raised his head, looked at Shen Lai's serious expression, then looked at her hand stretched out in front of her, and raised his eyebrows slightly.
Then he reached out and held Shen Lai's hand.
The scorching temperature was transmitted through the palm of her hand, and Shen Lai felt her ears a little hot. She sat beside Pei Jingyan and watched him sew quietly.
Perhaps because it hurt too much, Pei Jingyan squeezed Shen Lai's hand tightly from time to time, and cold sweat oozed from his forehead.
Seeing this, Shen Lai couldn't help but said, "Doctor, please be gentle."
The doctor glanced at her and jokingly said, "Your husband didn't even cry out in pain, yet you're heartbroken."
Seeing Pei Jingyan looking at him with a playful look, Shen Lai lowered his eyes guiltily and muttered softly: "Who said I felt sorry for him? I was just speaking for him, okay?"
After finally finishing the stitches, Shen Lai's palms were soaked with sweat, and she couldn't tell whether it was hers or Pei Jingyan's.
"Her hand is also injured. Please help her take care of it." Pei Jingyan suddenly said to the doctor.
Shen Lai paused. If Pei Jingyan hadn't mentioned it, she would have forgotten that she was still injured.
She subconsciously touched her palm and said, "It's just a minor injury, it's nothing serious."
Having said that, it is unreasonable for a doctor to sit idly by while a patient is injured, so he still checked Shen Lai's wound.
"You've got it stuck in your flesh, and you call it a minor wound?" The doctor teased, "You'll know once you get tetanus."
Shen Lai felt a little guilty and rarely refuted.
Fortunately, Shen Lai's wound was not deep. Although it did not require stitches, it needed to be disinfected.
Her heart sank as she watched the doctor take out the tools.
Since she was a child, she has been most afraid of getting injections.
"Would you like me to lend you my hand?" Pei Jingyan suddenly spoke.
Looking at Pei Jingyan's playful expression, Shen Lai coughed lightly, "No need, I'm not that fragile."
However, when the doctor really started to disinfect her, Shen Lai couldn't help but grab Pei Jingyan's hand.
Seeing Shen Lai's wrinkled face, Pei Jingyan raised the corners of his lips slightly and let Shen Lai's hand hold tighter and tighter.
After an unknown amount of time, Shen Lai finally applied the medicine. She breathed a sigh of relief and realized that she had wrinkled Pei Jingyan's sleeves without knowing when, so she quickly let go.
The doctor gave a few instructions and then left, leaving only the two of them in the ward.
Shen Lai looked at Pei Jingyan's injured arm and asked awkwardly: "How did you know where I was?"
Since Bai Hansui was determined to kidnap her, he would not reveal his whereabouts so easily.
Pei Jingyan leaned against the headboard of the bed. Because of his injury, he spoke a little weakly: "My assistant found her car through the route she left. I had someone check the license plate number and locate the warehouse."
Bai Hansui was indeed very cautious and specifically chose a back alley where there was no surveillance, but she overlooked one important point. That alley was not like an ordinary alley that connected in all directions. It had only six exits in total.
So Pei Jingyan asked people to visit the businesses near those alleys, and finally found the car used by Bai Hansui for the transfer with the help of the car-mounted camera parked on the side of the road, and finally found the warehouse.
It’s a pity that it took too long to find the surveillance footage, otherwise it wouldn’t have been delayed for so long.
Shen Lai pursed his lips upon hearing this.
No wonder Pei Jingyan came so late.
She thought Pei Jingyan didn't care about her life or death at all.
Shen Lai's eyes could not help but fall on the wound on Pei Jingyan's arm. Catching her gaze, Pei Jingyan curled his lips and asked, "Why, are you heartbroken?"
Under normal circumstances, Shen Lai would have been furious, but this time she was unusually calm and just nodded softly.
Pei Jingyan's body stiffened for a moment. Seeing that Shen Lai's guilt almost overflowed from his eyes, he was silent for a moment and said slowly: "This matter has nothing to do with you."
Shen Lai lowered his eyes, a shadow falling in his eyes, "But if you hadn't saved me, it wouldn't have turned out like this."
Originally, Bai Hansui came for her, but she didn't expect that Pei Jingyan would be involved.
Pei Jingyan could have pretended nothing had happened, but he still came to save himself.
Whether it's for her or for the baby in her belly.
Pei Jingyan said calmly: "If I don't save you, won't it prove that we are a fake couple?"
When this was mentioned, Shen Lai thought of an important thing and suddenly became nervous: "By the way, have many people seen what I said online?"
Pei Jingyan said in a playful tone, "It's even trending on the search list, what do you think?"
Shen Lai's heart skipped a beat.
Sure enough, everyone saw it.
Seeing Shen Lai's expression of despair, Pei Jingyan's smile deepened, and he lazily comforted him, "Don't be nervous, it's not that serious."
Shen Lai looked confused, "What do you mean?"
Pei Jingyan said slowly, "After you left the stream, some fans dug up the news that you were kidnapped. Now everyone knows that something happened to you, so naturally no one takes what you said seriously."
Shen Lai was a little surprised. Those netizens had such good eyesight, didn’t they?
It was even obvious that she had been kidnapped.
But this was a good thing for Shen Lai. She was worrying about how the matter would end, but she didn't expect that the matter would be resolved by itself.
If Bai Hansui knew that her plan had failed, she would probably be furious.
Just when Shen Lai was secretly rejoicing, Pei Jingyan suddenly called out, "Miss Shen."
Hearing him calling her, Shen Lai looked up in confusion, "Huh? What's wrong?"
Pei Jingyan had a faint smile in his eyes. He suddenly approached, his deep eyes fixed on Chen Lai, "What did you say outside the ambulance just now? Are you my wife?"
Shen Lai's heart suddenly tightened. Looking at Pei Jingyan's playful eyes, her eyes flickered slightly and she swallowed her saliva. "I'm not wrong. I am your wife in name only."
Seeing Pei Jingyan staring at her, Shen Lai felt uncomfortable all over. She quickly stood up and said, "I'm a little thirsty. I'll go get some water."
After saying that, she quickly walked out of the ward. When the door slammed shut behind her, she leaned against the wall in the corridor and quietly touched her chest.
She didn't know why she was nervous, and she didn't say anything wrong.
She was originally Pei Jingyan's wife.
Although only in name.
Chen Lai couldn't help but recall what Pei Jingyan said in the warehouse. Her heart felt like it had fallen into ice water, and she felt a dense pain in her heart.
She couldn't help but put her hand on her heart, and the corners of her mouth that were raised slightly straightened out.
She seemed to really fall in love with Pei Jingyan.
Shen Lai calmed down and was about to go outside to get some fresh air. When she turned around, she saw Huo Chilin sitting on a bench in the corridor.
Shen Lai frowned slightly, "Why are you here?"
Huo Chilin stood up, his eyes fixed on Shen Lai's face, "I heard that something happened to you, so I came to see you."
