1213 I Want to Make You Stay 91 (1/2)
Fang Erlan immediately grew agitated upon hearing her words. Seeing that Fang Ruzhen was refusing to answer, Fang Erlan questioned bluntly, ”Why do you want to kill me? Don't try and deny it, I have sufficient evidence against you. We grew up together and we had such a close relationship with each other. I can't believe the reason I'm contacting you more than a decade after you went missing is because you tried to kill me! I have no feud with you. Ruzhen, why did you do that?”
”I don't understand what you're saying!”
”Do you want to hear the voice recording of you instigating someone else to kill me? Forget it, nothing can be changed even if you refuse to admit it. I'll hand the evidence over to the police.”
Just as she was about to hang up, Fang Ruzhen said eagerly, ”Let's meet up. I'd like to say something to you in person.”
”Okay, come over, then. I'm at…” Fang Erlan covered the microphone and asked Xiao Chenyang, ”Which hospital is this?”
”Room 803 of the VIP ward in the Second People's Hospital.”
Fang Erlan repeated his words to Fang Ruzhen. Fang Erlan's eyes had already turned red by the time she ended the call. She could not figure out just why Fang Ruzhen had wanted to do that.
”Prepare a fresh set of clothes for me.”
”Xiao Yue sent some over earlier this morning,” said Xiao Chenyang, who then reached out in a bid to unbutton her hospital attire.
Although they had gotten intimate with each other more than once, Fang Erlan was still not used to having him help her change. She blushed slightly and said, ”I'll do it myself.”
Xiao Chenyang paused and said, ”Which part of you have I never seen before? Give me an example.”
Fang Erlan could not answer him. There seemed to be none…
He placed her arms on his neck and began removing her top gently. He was careful with his actions and did not touch her wound at all. He helped her change into a bright red blouse, which made her look much more radiant.
”Did Xiao Yue… bring my makeup pouch over…”
”She forgot, but…” He buried his face in her neck and kissed her fair and silky skin before continuing, ”I remembered so I made her bring it here.”
Fang Erlan said, ”I want to put on some makeup. I don't want others to see me barefaced.”
Xiao Chenyang let go of her and moved her bangs to the side. ”Alright, let's wash your face first, then. Lean back.”
Fang Erlan leaned against the pillow and watched as he came out of the washroom with some warm water and towels, which he then used to wipe her face and arms with. A warm, fuzzy feeling filled Fang Erlan's heart as her spirits were instantly lifted.
”How many people have you done this for?” she asked.
”You're the second.”
”Was the first a man or a woman?” she probed.
”A woman,” Xiao Chenyang said while handing her the toothbrush.
Fang Erlan grabbed it and asked, ”A woman? Who?”
Amused to see how stern she looked, he answered, ”A very beautiful woman.”
Fang Erlan felt a little bitter and disgruntled at the thought of him wiping another woman's face and arms gently. She stuffed the toothbrush into her mouth and asked, ”Was she a woman whom you had loved before me?”
Xiao Chenyang looked at her and answered while smiling, ”She's my mother.”
