Chapter 234 Unable to resist
Si Yanxiao himself couldn't understand it. He clearly disliked Jiang Ran terribly, but he couldn't help but come out just now.
He wasn't concerned about Jiang Ran, but rather about the child's mother.
These words went through Si Yanxiao's mind several times before his emotions finally calmed down.
The door opened gently.
Director Liu came out and immediately saw Si Yanxiao at the door. He was a little surprised, but it seemed that was to be expected.
"Mr. Si."
"Let's talk in my study!" Si Yanxiao regained his original indifference and left with his entourage with a cold expression.
The two children exchanged a quick glance, and Si Youlin and Si Zuochen quietly entered Jiang Ran's room. The footsteps outside the door faded away, and the door that had just been closed quietly opened again.
A small figure walked out from inside and went in the direction Si Yanxiao had just gone.
Inside the room, Si Youlin, unusually playful, slowly walked over to Jiang Ran and asked, "Are you feeling better?"
"Thank you!" Jiang Ran reached out and gently pulled Si Youlin to her side.
It was as soon as he touched her hand that Si Youlin noticed the injury on her palm. His expression immediately turned cold and stern. Without saying a word, he pulled over the first-aid kit and silently treated the wound on Jiang Ran's palm.
Meanwhile, Si Yanxiao went to his study with Director Liu.
As soon as the door opened, the room gave Director Liu a very cold feeling.
The huge study was devoid of warmth, the entire room decorated in cool tones. The only source of warmth was the photo of the twins on the large desk.
In the photo, both children are wearing black suits. Although they are small, their handsomeness is still undeniable.
Si Yanxiao sat on the black leather sofa, crossed his long legs, and said to Director Liu, who was still standing to the side, "Sit!"
Looking at Si Yanxiao, Director Liu's heart skipped a beat. This Si Yanxiao had an even stronger aura than Old Master Si.
"Mr. Si, please just say what you need to say."
How is she?
"Are you asking about Madam Si? Madam Si's injury was delayed for a while, but it has been treated today. She just needs to rest for a few days."
Is there anything else?
Director Liu paused for a moment, then said, "You need to eat a light diet for the next few days, and you shouldn't get out of bed for three days. Also, don't get the wound on your arm wet for the next few days!"
Coming out of the study, Director Liu was still a little unaccustomed to it. He hadn't given any medical advice in a long time. Since returning to China and joining the Si family's hospital, this was practically the first time he had encountered a condition like a sprain.
There's a saying: "Why use a sledgehammer to crack a nut?"
Why send him for a simple sprain? Any intern could have treated it.
However, these were not matters of concern to Director Liu.
When she left the Si family home, the extended luxury car and the thick stack of medical fees in her medicine box gave Director Liu a new understanding of Jiang Ran's status as the young mistress of the Si family.
Everyone says that Si Yanxiao doesn't like this lady, but in his opinion, it's quite the opposite. If he didn't have feelings for her, he wouldn't be so generous.
"Come in!" Si Yanxiao put down the tea in his hand and said lightly to the door.
The half-closed door was pushed open.
A small figure walked in, and Si Zuochen stared intently at Si Yanxiao. "Daddy."
Why were you eavesdropping?
Si Zuochen remained silent.
"come over!"
Si Zuochen obediently walked to Si Yanxiao's side and was pressed down on the sofa. The father and son sat together for the first time, but the atmosphere between them was not very good.
Why were you eavesdropping?
"I……"
"You care about Jiang Ran?" Si Yanxiao whispered, revealing what Si Zuochen was thinking.
Si Zuochen remained silent.
Looking at the profile that was so similar to his own, Si Yanxiao sighed: "I know what you're thinking. She's your mother, and I don't object to you caring about her."
"And what about you?" Si Zuochen suddenly asked.
Si Zuochen stood up, facing Si Yanxiao: "Daddy, no matter what she does, she's still my and Alin's mother!"
After leaving the room, Si Zuochen returned to Jiang Ran's room with a cold expression.
Si Yanxiao remained in a daze for a long time.
After a long while, he muttered, "You brat."
Perhaps the pain had subsided, or perhaps she was truly exhausted, or perhaps it was because Si Youlin was there, but Jiang Ran felt very comfortable and fell asleep holding Si Youlin's hand against the headboard.
Si Zuochen noticed it as soon as he came in.
"Ah Chen, she's asleep."
The two children were still young, and after two attempts, they were unable to lift Jiang Ran onto the bed. Looking at Si Zuochen, who was covered in sweat, Si Youlin gently shook his head: "Alin, I'll go find someone to help."
Several servants were guarding the door. Si Youlin beckoned, and two of them came in. They helped Jiang Ran onto the bed, and the two children even thoughtfully covered Jiang Ran with a blanket before quietly leaving.
Time passed slowly, and Jiang Ran fell into a deep sleep. Si Yanxiao was busy with something in his study. The servants placed the food in the dining room, where only the two children sat and ate.
After dinner, the two went to check on Jiang Ran in her room. Seeing that she was still asleep, they instructed the kitchen to prepare food. Then, Si Zuochen took Si Youlin back to their room.
At this moment, in the study, Si Yanxiao, who rarely smoked, was holding an unlit cigarette in his hand, his dark eyes gazing at the night outside the window, his gaze deep and unfathomable.
The lighter in my hand lit up, then went out.
I don't know how much time passed, but the cell phone on the table rang.
"Anan." The voice was hoarse and heavy.
"What happened?" Gu Nan's voice came from outside.
Why do you ask that?
“Ah Lin called me and said you hadn’t eaten and the two kids were very worried about you.”
"..."
A moment of silence.
Gu Nan was starting to wonder if Si Yanxiao had hung up the phone when Si Yanxiao's voice finally came through: "How is your injury?"
"It's nothing serious."
Si Yanxiao knew all too well the strength of Old Master Si. Although he had just recovered from a serious illness, that whip strike would still leave him severely injured.
"I have some special medicine here, I'll have someone deliver it to you in a bit."
"Ayan, I just want to tell you that Jiang Ran did nothing wrong this time. When she went to the company, she went into your office, but she didn't bring anything with her. On the contrary, when she came out of your office, she was noticeably paler. And also, about this kidnapping..."
"Anan, are you saying that the kidnapping has nothing to do with Jiang Ran?"
"What does it matter if it doesn't matter? Regardless of the truth, she's already been hurt!" A sigh came from the other end of the phone: "Ayan, no matter how you treat her, whether you like her or hate her, Jiang Ran is now the rightful young mistress of the Si family, your legal wife, and the biological mother of Achen and Alin! Why would she want to lay a hand on Bai Zhuwei?"
Although Gu Nan didn't witness some of the things firsthand, he could roughly guess some of them based on Jiang Ran and Si Yanxiao's words and Bai Zhuwei's reaction.
Si Yanxiao suddenly sneered: "Anan, have you been bribed too?"
Gu Nan almost dropped her phone because of Si Yanxiao's words: "Ayan, you'd rather believe Bai Zhuwei and those unfounded rumors than believe me, right?"
Everyone says Si Yanxiao is a business tycoon, but when it comes to matters of the heart, even Gu Nan doesn't know whether to call him foolish or naive.
That's not what I meant.
“President Si,” Gu Nan also became serious, “There are surveillance videos in your office. If you don’t trust Jiang Ran, and you don’t trust me, then please check the surveillance footage. I believe that by then, the truth will come out.”
Before Si Yanxiao could say anything, Gu Nan hung up the phone.
At this moment, Si Yanxiao's emotions, which had just calmed down, were reignited.
He gripped his phone tightly, his eyes were a little red, like a hungry wolf that had spotted its prey and was ready to pounce at any moment.
The night outside the window grew darker, and a resolute glint flashed in Si Yanxiao's eyes.
As he recalled all the moments he had shared with Bai Zhuwei, his stiff smile gradually relaxed, and his furrowed brows were smoothed out.
