C54 (1/2)

Too many things had happened today. She felt as if her brain was going to go to waste. She needed a good rest.

She really wanted to lie on her bed and have a good night's sleep. It would be best if she didn't wake up, so she wouldn't have to worry about anything anymore, and she wouldn't need to see that demon that was happily tormenting her.

”Qiao Xinran, stop right there!”

”What's wrong? Is there anything else? ” Qiao Xinran stopped and turned to ask him.

Han Xin could see the red spots on her neck with a glance. Without even thinking, he knew what his brother had done to her. Anger welled up within him. He wanted to rush into the company and beat up his big brother.

However, all of a sudden, he recalled that she was his eldest brother's wife.

Wasn't it natural for him to do something to her? What right did he have to interfere?

Under Qiao Xinran's attentive gaze, he eventually shook her head and said nothing.

”Then I'll go up and rest.” She was about to go upstairs.

”Wait a minute... You... You haven't eaten yet, right? Eat something before resting, otherwise you'll starve to death. ” He opened his mouth, but said nothing.

”No need, you go ahead and eat, I'm not hungry.” She smiled and, under his gaze, returned to her room.

As he closed the door, he could no longer stop the tears from streaming down his face. In the end, she still sold herself …

After sleeping for who knows how long, he was awakened by a series of knocks on the door. When he opened the door, he saw a nervous Han Xin standing outside. When he saw her come out, he heaved a sigh of relief.

Seeing his nervous appearance, could it be that he was worried that she wouldn't be able to keep her mind and would do something stupid? He didn't expect that she would be of such concern to him.

Qiao Xinran's heart suddenly felt warm, as though the sun was shining on an autumn afternoon, ”Ah Xin, thank you.” ”No,” she said.

Han Xin was slightly taken aback, but then his glass-colored eyes dimmed, ”You shouldn't thank me, you should hit me and scold me. Perhaps if you hit me a few times and scold me a few times, my heart would feel a little better.”

Qiao Xinran shook his head, ”No, you're wrong. You've always been so kind to me, and yet you're worried about me, and protected me. Of course I should thank you. ”

”But …”

”But, the one who did this to me, was Han Mo, not you. He was the one who set my father up as a prisoner. It has nothing to do with you. Even if it wasn't that day, he would still destroy Mrs Qiao. It's just a matter of time, so you really don't need to feel a little bit of guilt, you know? ”

She raised her hand and ruffled his hair. It was short, like freshly mowed grass. It was prickly, but very comfortable.

”Ah Xin, I want to thank you. You have brought me so much happiness and even helped me find the whereabouts of my little brother. Shall we go on like this forever? Just pretend you've never heard the words of that night, okay? ”

Bitterness surged within Han Xin's heart as he nodded his head, ”Alright, the words that I said that day, was for the sake of betting with Big Brother. I didn't mean to make things difficult for you …”

”Un, I know. In my eyes, you are just like Superman, a great hero!”

”In the future, can I still protect you?”

”Of course, I can't ask for more.” Qiao Xinran nodded and smiled.

”Alright, that's settled then. Sister-in-law, have a good rest. I'm going out to enjoy the night. See you tonight!” He smiled at her, showing his white teeth like a white seashell on a beach.
