Shao Jinghe had to admit that he had underestimated Li Xiu.
If he were to challenge his family on that land, not to mention anyone else, even Shao Jinghe's father wouldn't let it go.
Shao Jinghe regretted underestimating his opponent. He hadn't even glanced at Jiang Tian once before Li Xiu noticed something amiss.
Fortunately, he was quick-witted and attributed everything to his lustful nature.
Otherwise, if Li Xiu were to find out his true intentions, the matter would not end well before it even began.
Even so, Shao Jinghe still did not want to give up.
He recalled the affectionate scene of Jiang Tian and Li Xiu's intimate conversation, and felt as if ants were biting his heart.
Shao Jinghe imagined what it would be like if he were the one replacing Li Xiu, and Jiang Tian were completely devoted to him.
He is more romantic and better at taking care of people than Li Xiu.
Jiang Tian is a better match for him.
Li Xiu calmed down outside for a while before returning to the ward.
Shao Jinghe's reaction ignited a fire in his heart.
Jiang Tian was always surrounded by a lot of people, and Li Xiu was well aware of this, but he couldn't hide his jealousy, nor could he suppress the rage in his heart!
He didn't want Jiang Tian's beauty to be discovered by others.
But it was also clear that someone like her, with her lowly status, was bound to attract some ill-intentioned glances.
The man who wanted to marry her but was knocked unconscious by her hitting him with a brick, in order to get revenge, offered her to the owner of that club. The owner, in turn, wanted to dampen Jiang Tian's arrogance, so he put her on the club's list and put her on the list... A series of actions made many people who frequented the entertainment industry aware of Jiang Tian's existence.
The day after Li Xiu took her away, the manager called to test him, asking if he really wanted to keep Jiang Tian by his side.
He was certain that if Jiang Tian said no, he would be taken back again.
Men love the idea of remaining untainted by the mud, and Li Xiu understands the filth of his kind better than anyone.
He immediately told the manager that Jiang Tian would not be going back.
He then sped up the pace, causing the club owner to fall from grace quickly.
He collapsed, and Li Xiu thought the matter was over, but Jiang Tian attracted even more inquiries.
Li Xiu didn't reveal any of the inside story to Jiang Tian, but his repression always had its limits.
Today, upon encountering Shao Jinghe and realizing his lust for Jiang Tian, Li Xiu was unable to calm down for a long time.
But the fault does not lie with Jiang Tian.
Li Xiu looked in the bathroom mirror, managing to conceal the violence in his eyes, and tried to force a stiff smile.
Only after realizing that not a single trace of distortion had disappeared from his face did Li Xiu brush off his clothes and return to the ward.
He thought Jiang Tian was already asleep, but when he went in, he saw her looking up at him.
Jiang Tian breathed a sigh of relief under his gaze: "You're finally back. I was even thinking of going out to look for you."
He thought he would feel very awkward, but when he saw Jiang Tian, Li Xiu's heart melted unconsciously.
He walked over and sat on the edge of Jiang Tian's bed: "Didn't I say I was going to talk to that person? Why aren't you asleep so late?"
Jiang Tian: "I can't sleep well when you're not by my side."
With just one simple sentence, the darkness in Li Xiu's heart was suddenly surged to its depths by a tidal wave of love.
He squatted down at the corner of the bed and carefully kissed Jiang Tian for a while.
"So, can you fall asleep now?"
Jiang Tian smiled at him and said, "You have to stay by my side and be with me."
Li Xiu naturally saw the small bed for the caregiver on the other side of the ward.
But he didn't plan to sleep. There was a big project at the company that required his personal signature tomorrow, and since it was almost dawn, he figured he could handle it.
When he explained his plan, he saw that Jiang Tian was a little unhappy: "I'm the one who dragged you down, making it so that you can't even get proper rest."
Li Xiu was a little anxious: "No, don't overthink it."
According to the doctor, Jiang Tian's mood is less stable during her period than usual, so it's important to comfort her and prevent her emotional state from affecting her physical health.
Li Xiu remembered this point well, but he didn't expect that he would upset Jiang Tian.
"Then you can go to the small bed next to me and sleep with me. If you don't sleep, I won't sleep either."
Jiang Tian's "domineering" attitude forced Li Xiu to compromise.
He obediently lay down, and luckily Jiang Tian was next to him.
"Close your eyes."
