Chapter 215 I'm sorry, Ruan Ruan, I'm late.
Yan Hongyi's pupils contracted sharply, his whole body trembled violently, and his eyes were filled with despair.
Yan Tingnan released his grip as if discarding a piece of trash.
He straightened up, tidied his disheveled cuffs, his movements elegant and composed, a stark contrast to the mess around him.
The sirens of the fire trucks grew louder as they approached, and figures moved outside the window; firefighters were about to rush in.
In the firelight, his tall figure resembled an all-powerful deity, or a vengeful demon returning from hell.
"Take him out."
He coldly gave orders to his men who rushed to the scene after hearing the news.
"Cure him."
"Don't let anything happen to the old man before I bring Ruan Ruan back."
After saying that, he took one last look at Yan Hongyi, who was slumped in the chair like a drowned rat.
He turned around and walked away from the fire without looking back.
...
The special plane pierced through the clouds and flew directly to Yunnan.
Inside the cabin, Yan Tingnan leaned back in his seat and closed his eyes for a short rest.
Nearly thirty hours of intense work and cross-border travel will push even the strongest person to their limits.
He only dared to relax slightly after confirming that Su Ruan was safe and sound, after being tense for a long time.
At 10 p.m., the private jet landed, and Yan Tingnan went straight to the hospital.
Wen Jinxiao and others were outside the VIP ward, his training uniform still stained with mud, broad-shouldered and long-legged, leaning against the wall smoking.
Seeing Yan Tingnan striding towards him, he straightened up and stubbed out his cigarette.
"With the people under control and these covert operations in southern Yunnan uncovered, the subsequent cleanup will be much easier."
"The old man deserves a lot of credit."
He spoke succinctly, then his brow furrowed slightly.
"It's just that those bastards gave my sister-in-law a really strong dose of sleeping pills; she was unconscious for over ten hours."
"The doctor examined me and found no external injuries, nor any bad experiences. I shouldn't be mentally traumatized. It's just that the medication hasn't worn off yet, so I'm sleeping soundly."
"He just finished his IV drip and should wake up soon."
Yan Tingnan's heart, which had been hanging in suspense all the way, finally settled down a little.
"And her?"
"Inside."
Wen Jinxiao raised his chin towards the ward.
"Go buy some food, she'll be hungry when she wakes up."
He gave instructions to Wen Jinxiao.
"It needs to be light and easy to digest, because she has a shallow stomach."
Wen Jinxiao was slightly taken aback, then pointed to himself.
"What?!"
Yan Tingnan glanced sideways, his eyes devoid of emotion.
"otherwise?"
"The first thing she sees when she wakes up is me."
Wen Jinxiao clicked his tongue and resignedly turned around.
"Alright, you're the boss, I'll go find some food for my sister-in-law."
The footsteps faded into the distance.
Yan Tingnan gently pushed open the ward door.
Only one dim wall lamp was left on in the room.
Su Ruan lay quietly on the hospital bed, her long hair spread out on the pillow, her breathing even.
She was wearing a pure black eye mask that covered most of her face, making her chin appear pointed and her lips a pale color.
He walked to the bedside and bent down to brush away the strands of hair that were scattered on her pillow.
Just as Yan Tingnan's fingertip brushed against the corner of her lips, Su Ruan on the bed suddenly frowned and let out a muffled whimper.
Su Ruan's consciousness vaguely returned, but her body was too heavy to move.
My eyes were covered by something, and it was pitch black.
Eye mask?
Her heart tightened, and memories of being kidnapped flooded her mind instantly.
Am I still in the hands of the kidnappers?
Fear made her instinctively struggle, raising her hand to try and tear off the blindfold.
"Don't move."
He leaned down, grabbed her wrist, and pressed her back to the side of the pillow.
In the darkness, Su Ruan's breathing stopped abruptly, and her heart raced.
She suddenly bent her knees and charged headlong into the source of the sound without regard for anything else!
"Let me go!"
Yan Tingnan had anticipated this, and with a quick movement of his long legs, he pressed her knees back down, his voice low and husky, almost coaxing.
"Ruan Ruan, it's me."
A short sentence, like an electric drill, entered her ear.
Su Ruan's struggling movements suddenly stopped, her heart felt as if it had been squeezed tightly by something, then suddenly released and began to pound wildly.
She gave up, but was still unwilling to give up, and pinched the back of his hand with her fingers.
"Yan Tingnan?"
Yan Tingnan loosened his grip on her wrist a little, and instead interlocked his fingers, weaving them tightly between hers.
"Um."
He responded, his nose brushing against her cheek, and finally, his cool, thin lips covered hers.
With the eagerness of regaining what was lost, and the deep well of emotions that had been suppressed for a long time.
She was breathing rapidly and reached out to rip off the annoying blindfold.
Don't pick it.
Yan Tingnan pressed her hand down again, his voice even hoarser than before.
"Why?"
Su Ruan was both anxious and aggrieved. He was kissing her so hard that she felt dizzy and couldn't see him anymore. This feeling of being out of control made her panic.
"The light is too bright. You've been asleep for too long, and the sudden exposure to light will damage your eyes."
She twisted her wrists, trying to break free.
"Yan Tingnan, let go of me! I want to see you!"
"What are you looking at me for?"
Instead of loosening his grip, he pulled her closer to him, lowered his head, and lightly brushed his lips against the back of her sensitive ear.
"The person is right here, they can't run away."
He paused, lowered his voice, and spoke with a sinister tone.
"Soft and delicate, the sense of touch is more acute when you can't see."
"for example……"
He took her hand, guided her, and touched his Adam's apple.
"here."
Then there's the clean-lined jawline.
"here."
Finally, stopping below the slightly bobbing Adam's apple, two buttons of the shirt were undone, revealing the hollow of the collarbone.
"And here."
Su Ruan's fingertips touched his warm skin, the clear outline of his bones, and his steady but slightly faster heartbeat.
With vision deprived, the other senses are indeed magnified infinitely.
The touch of every inch of his skin, the rise and fall of every breath, were crystal clear.
It's him!
It really is him!
She's safe!
"you……"
Her cheeks flushed bright red, and she tried to pull her hand away, but he held it firmly.
"Can we be sure it's me now?"
He chuckled softly, his breath brushing against the top of her hair.
"I'm sure you're..."
Su Ruan wanted to curse, but her voice was trembling with tears.
The tension that had been building for so long finally snapped the moment he was confirmed to be safe.
All the forced composure crumbled.
She stopped insisting on the blindfold, buried her face in his arms, wrapped her arms tightly around his waist, and buried her face in the crook of his neck.
"Yan Tingnan, you bastard!"
She choked back tears as she cursed, her eyes instantly soaking through her blindfold.
"You scared me to death! I thought you weren't coming back. I thought..."
She couldn't continue, only able to suppress her sobs, her shoulders trembling slightly.
At this moment, she wasn't the clear-headed and independent Su Ruan, but just a frightened little girl who needed her lover's embrace and comfort.
Yan Tingnan pulled his arms around her, encircling her completely in his embrace.
He gently patted her back with his large hand.
"It was my fault."
He lowered his head and kissed the top of her head, his voice deep and hoarse, filled with lingering fear and tenderness.
"I'm sorry to have worried Ruanruan."
"It will never happen again."
"husband……"
She called out in a hoarse voice.
"They covered me with something, it was so dark, I couldn't move at all..."
Her complaints came in fits and starts, like a kitten that had suffered a great injustice outside and finally went to its parents to complain.
"Yes, I know."
He pulled his arms closer, rested his chin on the top of her head, and spoke in a low, husky voice.
"I know all of that."
"I'm sorry, Ruanruan, I'm late."
"Those who bullied you will not escape."
