She tried to climb a little higher to hug his neck, but Shen Shixun looked down at her and said, "Don't move. I won't let you fall, and I won't let your feet touch the ground."
When he carried her away from the grassland, they walked a long way. He said something similar, but she was so hot and tired that she didn't want to talk at all, and she didn't care what he said.
"Shen Shixun, do you love me?"
Men are probably not very interested in these sweet words and will automatically filter them out. "If one day you can't find me, will you keep looking for me and looking for me, searching for me to the ends of the earth?"
"Say it, do you love me?"
My father made many promises and vows to my mother, saying he loved her and promising he would never leave the grasslands, but in the end he still left.
What's the use of vows? What's the use of promises? People who can't be kept will eventually leave.
When Shen Shixun was on the grassland, he thought that he only wanted one woman in his life. He could live with the woman and the mastiff, following the cattle and sheep during the day and the woman at night.
Like most Gong men, he wanted to live a free and easy life.
After meeting Xiang Nanzhi and falling in love, he reminded himself countless times that he could not make the same mistake as his mother.
Men on the grasslands are true to their word; a promise made lasts a lifetime. But city dwellers have never taken their promises seriously. They can say "I love you" to many people and "I like you" to many people.
But the love and affection they spoke of came too easily and went too quickly.
Even when it thunders or rains, they are afraid they will be struck by lightning.
Xiang Nanzhi said she would divorce him after giving birth to the child, and she also said they would be together for life after giving birth to the child. She said she hated him, but she also said she loved him and liked him.
He was stubborn in this regard, unable to tell which of her words were true and which were false. They all seemed true, yet he was afraid of being manipulated by her and of being abandoned.
Is it difficult to answer?
She clung to his neck, and the man's hands instinctively supported her, preventing her from falling.
Xiang Nanzhi had just woken up, her hair naturally loose, fragrant and soft, her back was thin, and a delicate and well-behaved face was gradually approaching him, kissing him on the lips.
Then those eyes began to wait for his answer again.
"Tell me, do you like me? Do you love me?"
The man's Adam's apple bobbed. After a long while, he turned her around, letting her lean against the wall. His eyes were as deep as a sleeping sea. "Love..."
The voice seemed to spring from the depths of his heart. In a panic, he pinned her against the wall, buried his face in her body, and kissed her, wishing he could kiss every inch of her body.
Early in the morning, Xiang Nanzhi was too exhausted from his kisses to continue holding him. He was in control of her, kissing her while dragging her along the wall to keep her from falling.
After tidying herself up, he carried her out, just as Su Lan came in. Xiang Nanzhi quickly checked her clothes and thankfully they were all intact.
Ma Xiaorong was a little embarrassed, and Xiang Nanzhi was also embarrassed, but Shen Shixun casually put her on the bed and said, "Remember to drink porridge."
Then he glanced at Su Lan, who was carrying things, and said, "Miss Su."
Su Lan was taken aback, but still nodded to Shen Shixun.
It's one thing for her to look down on him, but now that he's a member of the Xiang family, she has to treat him with respect.
"Sister Su Lan, what brings you here?"
"I came to see you. I wanted to come earlier this morning, but I was away on a business trip a few days ago and just got back today."
After watching Shen Shixun leave the ward, Su Lan looked at her again and asked, "Zhizhi, are you feeling better?"
"I'm feeling much better."
"It's good that you're alright. I was terrified when I heard you were in trouble. These criminals are so brazen these days."
Xiang Nanzhi didn't have much contact with her privately. Before, she was the eldest brother's sister-in-law, and Xiang Nanzhi treated her like family. But now that her eldest brother had broken up with her, she didn't know what to say.
"Zhizhi, do you want me to help you find the murderer?"
Xiang Nanzhi paused for a moment, then said, "No need, Sister Su Lan, the police will investigate thoroughly."
After being rejected by Xiang Nanzhi, Su Lan didn't continue the conversation. They chatted about other things, and soon after, Su Lan received a phone call and left.
Ma Xiaorong sat next to her and handed her skincare products. Xiang Nanzhi did a simple skincare routine, and after finishing, she quietly leaned against the bed.
Skincare is an essential part of my routine, both morning and night…
"Don't you think that Miss Su's appearance at this time is more like she's here to inquire about the news?"
Xiang Nanzhi paused for a moment, "Don't make assumptions about others."
"It's not speculation. She hasn't come even though it's been so long since your accident. You two barely had any contact when you were dating the young master. We only found some clues yesterday, and she's here today..."
Ma Xiaorong suspected that Su Lan knew something and wanted to use this incident to advance her career.
"After breaking up with her older brother, she must have lost a lot of resources."
"That's inevitable."
Without Xiang Jingyi standing up for her and being her strong support, no matter how capable she is, it's all in vain if people don't respect her.
After leaving the hospital, Su Lan went to the Xiang family group. Xiang Jing was not there. The company's assistant recognized her and told her where Xiang Jing was.
Xiang Jingyi personally went to inspect a mine near the ancient city. When he was about to leave, a car stopped in front of his car.
The sun was shining brightly. She held an umbrella, wore a white suit, and had slightly curled hair. She closed the car door and slowly walked towards him. "Jingyi, I want to talk to you."
Her tone was devoid of any emotion. Su Lan knew very well what kind of person Xiang Jingyi was. Since he had decided not to play the emotional card with her, there was no point in her continuing to dwell on it.
