The first thing Shang Ning did upon returning home was to take off Jin Yining's clothes. The wound on his back had already been treated, with a large white gauze covering it, showing just how serious the injury was.
Shang Ning stared at his back, her expression tense and her lips pressed together. Jin Yining finished putting on his shirt, and when he turned around, Shang Ning was already crying. Jin Yining quickly buttoned up his shirt and reached for a tissue. "Why are you crying? It's nothing."
Since becoming pregnant, Shang Ning has not experienced any major emotional fluctuations. Even when Jin Yining couldn't be with her, she never got angry or upset with him. Even when she had leg cramps during her pregnancy and was in great pain, she never cried.
Jin Yining wiped away her tears. "It's really nothing, just a minor injury. It'll be fine in a few days. Don't cry. Didn't Mom say that crying now is bad for your eyes? Nearsightedness can be hereditary. Okay, it's alright now."
Shang Ning felt wronged, incredibly wronged. She pressed her forehead against Jin Yining's chest and said, "I just don't understand, what are you working so hard for? Look at all the people online who are criticizing you."
"But I didn't tell them I risked my life for them, did I? What, do you have to be thanked for doing a good deed? Then why do you do good deeds?" Jin Yining chuckled and patted her back. "There's nothing to feel wronged about, and I'm not wronged either. Rather than saying I was protecting them, I'd say I was protecting you, protecting the people I care about. Doesn't that make you feel less wronged?"
"I don't know, I don't know."
“We’ve already discussed this issue before, there’s no need to keep dwelling on it. I can’t give up my identity as an actor, nor can I abandon my responsibilities. You’ll understand when you separate the two things.” Jin Yining said, helping Shang Ning sit down on the sofa. “How could Professor Shang not know?”
Saying she didn't know was just a way of showing her concern for him. Jin Yining believed that if Shang Ning were in that position today, she would have done the same.
Jin Yining raised her hand and placed it on her stomach, saying softly, "It's nothing. The wedding is the day after tomorrow. The person who sent you the blood-stained clothes and dolls has been arrested. Don't worry, I won't tolerate any behavior outside the law. You feel sorry for me, and I feel sorry for you too. Since that's the case, let's be open and honest about everything. If we encounter this kind of person again, we'll just hand them over to the police."
Jin Yining only learned about the blood-stained clothes and blood-stained dolls after Shang Ning became pregnant. When he first found out, he really had murderous thoughts. If Qin Wei hadn't stopped him, he really would have killed those people.
Shang Ning didn't say anything, in order to protect his job.
But that doesn't mean he doesn't care.
"Will your mom be able to come back for the wedding the day after tomorrow?" Jin Yining changed the subject, not wanting Shang Ning to continue dwelling on what had just happened.
"I think he can come back, he said he'd be back tomorrow," Shang Ning said in a muffled voice, her head down, fidgeting with her hands. "I just feel like it shouldn't be like this, it can't be like this. Liking someone shouldn't be like this..."
Jin Yining chuckled softly and kissed her forehead. "Alright, let's not think about this anymore. You must be tired. Go get some sleep. I'll make you something to eat."
Shang Ning shook his head, still not happy.
