After saying that, she didn't say anything else and left in another direction with the two nannies. When the bodyguard heard that Ma Xiaorong had said that, he was even less likely to let him in.
Song Ze wasn't one to embarrass himself, so he smiled and handed the flowers to the bodyguard, "Give these to Nan Zhi for me. She likes flowers, and I want to cheer her up."
The bodyguard glanced at the other bodyguard; both of them looked somewhat embarrassed.
Finally, he awkwardly said, "Mr. Song, you should take it back."
The son-in-law is inside. They brought the flowers in. What does the son-in-law think? They haven't spent much time with that person and don't know her personality. What if she's not someone to mess with?
I don't want to lose my secure job.
The Xiang family treats their bodyguards and drivers very well, providing good benefits and salaries, and never makes things difficult for them.
Unlike other wealthy families who are arrogant and insist on showing off their power by making trouble for their subordinates.
The bodyguard stood ramrod straight and did not take the flowers from his hand. "I'm sorry, Mr. Song, please understand."
Song Ze was choked and speechless. He looked at the bright red rose in his hand, the petals glistening with dew, ready to bloom, and exuding a delicate fragrance.
Song Ze didn't make things difficult for him. He placed the flowers at the door, turned around, and took the elevator away.
He now deeply regrets his past actions. The thought of the Xiang family gives him a headache. He rubs his temples in the elevator and squints slightly.
Xiang Nanzhi's injuries were not serious, but she needed time to rest. However, her bones and joints were painful, so she couldn't apply any medicine. The man massaged them for her while she was asleep.
Xiang Nanzhi was woken up by being rubbed, opened her eyes and glanced at him, "Shen Shixun..."
The man immediately stopped what he was doing. Xiang Nanzhi curled her lips slightly, as if she had caught him red-handed. "Didn't you say it would be fine in a few days? Why are you rubbing it for me?"
Shen Shixun really didn't know how to answer, and he didn't know what had gotten into him. He had been staying here for several days and had barely managed to tidy himself up, but he was severely sleep-deprived.
I just hope she gets better and can be discharged from the hospital soon.
Every time Xiang Nanzhi woke up, she would complain of pain here and there, and he was helpless, his heart aching terribly.
These past few days, whenever she's asleep, he's been gently massaging her arms and legs, so as not to wake her.
In the end, she still stumbled upon this incredibly frustrating side of herself.
Xiang Nanzhi didn't look at him, her face slightly flushed. "Are you very distressed about me?"
"I saw you that day..."
The nanny brought in food, saving Shen Shixun's life.
He was quite afraid that Xiang Nanzhi would think he liked her a lot. Every time she felt that he liked her a lot, he would get inexplicably nervous.
He got up and asked the nanny to serve Xiang Nanzhi something to eat. He stood to the side and looked out the window. He saw the small, man-made stream in the hospital, where a tender yellow lotus was blooming in this season.
"Just leave it there, you can go out now."
Xiang Nanzhi continued to look at the man's back, "Shen Shixun, look at me."
"You eat yours."
He didn't want to continue discussing that day with her. He was going crazy that day, and now that her wounds had healed, she was still going on about the details of that day.
"you……"
"Aren't you afraid anymore? Aren't you scared? Aren't you still in pain?" The man suddenly became serious.
Xiang Nanzhi wasn't intimidated by his serious expression. Instead, she cleared her throat and said, "Zhizhi..."
Shen Shixun's expression changed drastically, though he remained serious, his cheeks flushed slightly. Seeing his reaction, Xiang Nanzhi continued to mimic him, "Zhizhi, hang in there, Zhizhi..."
"Save her..."
After Xiang Nan finished learning, she looked at the man and smiled.
Shen Shixun's face was tense, and he couldn't keep up the act any longer, so he had no choice but to sit back down next to her.
Xiang Nanzhi still wouldn't give up, and said in a strained voice, "Zhizhi... hang in there, Zhizhi..."
A hand touched the man's face, "Zhizhi..."
Shen Shixun smiled, "Xiang Nanzhi..."
“Zhizhi…”
Honestly, he couldn't bring himself to call her that properly in front of her.
Xiang Nanzhi raised the corners of her lips, seemingly with a hint of pride, "Are you very scared? Afraid of losing me?"
"Were you thinking at the time, 'If something happens to me, you won't want to live either'?"
Shen Shixun didn't speak. His mind went blank at that moment. Seeing her covered in blood and on the verge of death, he thought that if Xiang Nanzhi and the child were gone, his only thought for the rest of his life would be to avenge her.
Once the murderer was found, he took her ashes back to the grassland.
On a windy day, he would carry a hunting rifle to the restricted area, find a bluestone slab, shoot himself, and then offer it as a sacrifice to the heavens. He wanted to hold Xiang Nanzhi's ashes and let the birds and vultures carry their bodies and souls to the sky.
"Tell me, do you love me very, very much?"
The woman's voice was soft, with a hint of teasing, as she pulled his large hand, "Say something, don't you love me a lot?"
The man blushed, his face turning bright red, and he hesitated for a long time, unsure of what to say. He was stuck in his throat, unsure whether to admit it or not. "Xiang Nanzhi, if I admit it, do you think I'm ridiculous?"
Xiang Nanzhi suddenly realized that he had been keeping a low profile all along because he was afraid that Xiang Nanzhi would think he was being presumptuous.
She looked down at him. "Shen Shixun, aren't you not insecure?"
He wasn't insecure, but when it came to loving her, he really lacked confidence.
They initially agreed on having a child and then went their separate ways.
In order to achieve this goal, Xiang Nanzhi disregarded his own safety and went to the grassland to find him.
Shen Shixun initially did not intend to give up. Even after Xiang Nanzhi gave birth to the child, he did not want a divorce. He wanted to take responsibility for her.
She hit him, cursed him, bit him, insulted him, burned him with cigarette butts, and stomped on him, but he never let go.
But the moment he found Xiang Nanzhi in the tribe, he wavered. This woman was willing to risk her life for an abortion and a divorce. He could keep the relationship but not her heart.
She would rather die than have anything to do with this Gong ethnic man.
During the days she came to see him, he had something on his mind. He finally confessed to her and they reached an agreement, which put his mind at ease.
But this brought even greater pressure. She only agreed to have his child to achieve her goal of divorce, and she wouldn't treat the child well if it was born without love.
But the child is the Xiang family’s bloodline. How can he... how can he take the child to the grassland so that the Xiang family can never find him again?
After returning to the ancient city from the grasslands with her, Shen Shixun kept thinking about this matter. He had made up his mind, but Xiang Nanzhi came to see him again and again.
Whether he was seeking thrills or for something else, he didn't know.
He was born on the grasslands and couldn't understand the deepest, most genuine thoughts of women in big cities.
Zhang Yandong said that many socialites in the ancient city keep men outside the home. Not only socialites, but even some married women are very likely to easily betray their husbands.
Does Xiang Nanzhi truly see him as her husband, or simply as an ordinary man who can satisfy her desire for novelty and excitement?
