Shen Lin put his arm around her waist, left the rest to the bodyguard, and carried the unconscious Ye Xinning away quickly.
At this moment, his only concern was her safety. All he could think about was that she must not be hurt, she absolutely could not be hurt, he, Chen Lin, would never allow it.
He even lost his composure because of this worry, and was unable to rationally judge that her injuries were not actually life-threatening.
...
Ye Xinning woke up in the hospital at around 11 p.m.
I opened my eyes to a white expanse and the distinctive smell of disinfectant from the hospital.
This environment allowed her to quickly recall what had happened before she fell into a coma.
She instinctively moved her arm, but it was grasped by a pair of warm, large hands.
Her gaze drifted downwards as Shen Lin sat on the edge of the bed.
Perhaps because her gaze was too direct, Shen Lin noticed that she was already awake.
Shen Lin's face showed undisguised fatigue, but the moment his eyes met Ye Xinning's, his expression softened instantly.
He leaned down and placed a kiss on her forehead. She looked at him, and that eye contact made him feel at ease.
At least for this moment, one thing is certain: she has woken up safely.
"woke up."
Ye Xinning tried to reach out and touch his tired face, but one of her hands was still receiving an IV drip and the other was injured. Before she could lift her hand, she heard Shen Lin's low voice.
"Don't move."
Ye Xinning, "..."
Although he was telling her to stop, he was worried about her.
Ye Xinning lay still obediently, a smile on her face, "Did you stay up all night watching over me?"
"Otherwise what?"
Are you tired?
"Not tired."
She didn't believe him at all.
He had been busy with work in Yecheng, and I don't know when he came to Beicheng. Then he learned that she had been kidnapped. I guess he didn't get a proper rest during this time.
"Didn't you say the work was plentiful and challenging?"
"It's tricky" is a lie.
Ye Xinning "..."
So why lie to her?
Before she could figure out the problem, she heard Shen Lin say in a low voice, "But luckily I came."
He couldn't even imagine what the consequences would be otherwise.
Ye Xinning was also relieved that Shen Lin had arrived.
However, there was one thing she couldn't understand.
"How did you find the beach so quickly? How did you know I'd been kidnapped?"
If she remembered correctly, there were no surveillance cameras in the area where she was kidnapped, and she was really puzzled as to how Shen Lin knew this.
Shen Lin did not answer her question, but instead handed her an earring.
Ye Xinning recognized it at a glance as the one she had worn before. She touched her ear and found that there was indeed only one ear.
She was somewhat moved. The lost earring was a clue, but she hadn't expected Shen Lin to notice such a small detail.
"So you concluded I was kidnapped just because of an earring?"
“You are a very careful person and don’t lose things easily. I had someone help me find the location of your phone.”
Ye Xinning figured that was probably the only explanation.
It must be said that Shen Lin is indeed meticulous in this regard.
"Thank you."
She was truly grateful. If Shen Lin hadn't arrived in time, she knew she wouldn't have lasted much longer. Those people were ruthless; their only goal was to kill her. She already knew what would have happened if Shen Lin hadn't appeared in time.
Shen Lin raised his eyes, his gaze fixed intently on her, as if he were deep in thought.
"Say thank you? What do you take me for?"
"My husband."
Have you ever seen a woman say thank you to her husband?
Ye Xinning, "..."
She was speechless, unsure of what to say.
Shen Lin didn't continue the conversation on that topic, but simply held her hand and asked, "Does your wound hurt?"
It would have been better if Shen Lin hadn't mentioned it, because as soon as he did, Ye Xinning felt a sharp, throbbing pain in the wound on her arm.
"It hurt! You have no idea how scared I was. But if my hands and feet hadn't been tied up in the first place, those two wouldn't have been a match for me."
She sounded a little disappointed when she said that.
Shen Lin frowned. "It won't happen again."
"Um."
Although she didn't know what Shen Lin was thinking when he said that, Ye Xinning still went along with him.
"Oh, right."
She thought of the two people who had kidnapped her.
"What about the other two?"
"It's under control."
"Did you get the answer? Who ordered it?"
"He's very stubborn; you can't get anything out of him."
Ye Xinning remained silent, her gaze falling on her eyes. "Any leads?"
She snapped out of her daze, looked up at Chen Lin, and shook her head. "No."
"Really not?"
Ye Xinning chuckled and curled her lips. "Mr. Shen, I just woke up. You've been asking for so long and haven't gotten any answers. How could I possibly have any clues?"
She spoke with such conviction that Shen Lin decided to believe her this time.
"Leave this to me, you focus on recovering," Shen Lin said after a brief silence.
"Um."
Shen Lin didn't expect her to agree so easily.
Given Ye Xinning's personality, she has never wanted him to interfere too much in her affairs.
Let him investigate...
Shen Lin pursed his thin lips and looked at the person on the hospital bed, already having some guesses in his mind.
...
The next morning, Ye Xinning woke up to find Shen Lin not by her bedside. She was alone in bed. She raised her uninjured hand and lifted the blanket. Before her feet even touched the ground, the ward door was pushed open from the outside, and the next second, Shen Lin walked in.
He changed his clothes, and the blue overcoat made him look gentle and refined.
He looked over here and saw that she was about to get out of bed. The man quickened his pace and soon came to her.
"what are you up to?"
Ye Xinning saw that he had put her back on the bed, and touched her nose awkwardly.
"Why are you back? I only hurt my hand, everything else is fine, you don't need to be so worried."
"The doctor said you need to rest your hand. What do you need? I'll help you."
help?
She needed to take care of her physical needs, so how could she ask him for help? He would have the nerve, and she would feel embarrassed.
She blushed and didn't say a word. When Shen Lin looked down, he saw her like this. Everyone was smart enough to understand immediately.
He stopped arguing and bent down to pick her up, heading towards the bathroom.
"We're husband and wife, we've done much more intimate things, so why are you still ashamed?"
Ye Xinning held onto his neck with one hand, trembling with fear, afraid that she might accidentally fall.
They arrived at the restroom, and Shen Lin was about to help her take off her pants when Ye Xinning quickly reached out her other hand to stop her.
“Chen Lin, I can do it myself.”
