Chapter 237 - Her Breaking Point (1/2)
”Zihao.” Jiang Ruolan saw the blood on Xian Zihao's shoulder and tried to touch it. She found a layer of bandage under his shirt. Apparently, he had left the hospital too early and without the doctor's permission. His blood had already seeped through the bandage and dyed his shirt red.
”It's okay, it's not very deep. I just need to rebandage it again.” Xian Zihao held her back, not giving her a chance to face the outside world while she was still in a state of fear. When Jiang Ruolan tried to push him away, Xian Zihao immediately kissed her lips gently, with guilt in his eyes. ”It's my fault that I didn't protect you well. You must feel very scared right? You don't have to think about anything, no matter what, let me think about it, let me handle it.”
”Do you want to die? You still say that you are fine even though you have been injured like this?!” Jiang Ruolan pulled his collar. Xian Zihao originally wanted to push her hand away, but Jiang Ruolan craftily twisted his collar and pulled it by force.
Xian Zihao didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Jian Ruolan stared at the bandage on his shoulder, which had already been dyed red with blood. She didn't say a single word and only raised her eyes to glare at him.
Xian Zihao sighed. At that moment, a doctor who was accompanying him, called.
Xian Zihao answered the call, then opened the car door. A doctor came in and gave him medicine to stop the bleeding. The police chief walked toward the car and asked if he could take Jiang Ruolan's statement about the kidnappers' characteristics.
Xian Zihao glanced at Jiang Ruolan. He did not want her to recall back the memory. He wanted to reject the idea. However, without waiting for his answer, Jiang Ruolan directly got out of the car. Although she was worried about his injuries, she still chose to give him space so that doctors could treat his wounds easily.
Jiang Ruolan looked back at him before leaving, ”You're right, escaping is the stupidest way, I won't do that!”
After she said so, under Xian Zihao's pained and pampered gaze, she followed the police officer.
When Jiang Ruolan was walking to the police car, she saw Qin Gengxin leaning against his car's door with his arms crossed over his chest, looking at her.
She paused for a moment, then tightened her blanket and jacket. Then, step by step, she walked towards him. Jiang Ruolan saw the worry and some of the emotions that she couldn't describe on his face.
Qin Gengxin just looked at her before he sighed softly, ”Looks like you are indeed much stronger than seventeen-year-old Jiang Ruolan. Seven years ago, you shut down yourself and didn't talk to anyone. When I saw you in that basement, I thought you …”
Qin Gengxin suddenly couldn't continue. He just looked at her red and swollen face and wanted to gently stroke it, but just as he raised his hand, he lowered it. Qin Gengxin looked back at the black Land Rover and slowly raised his eyebrows.
Jiang Ruolan looked at him. ”Everything I have experienced since I was young has turned me into the strongest rock. And these two times are enough to make me immune to fear. Qin Gengxin, I know you will show up to save me. Thank you. I do not know how to express it in words, but you understand what I mean, don't you?”
Qin Gengxin smiled, but the smile did not reach his eyes. He looked at her with deep eyes and said, ”I initially planned to snatch you from Zihao. When I went to visit him in the hospital, he was barely out of danger and just a few hours after he woke up from his coma. However, when he heard about your accident, he immediately pulled out the needle in his hand and ran out without the doctor's permission. Do you know what I was thinking at the time?”
Qin Gengxin paused for a moment before suddenly smiling bitterly. ”I was really late.”
Jiang Ruolan just kept silent and didn't know what to say to him. Love can't be forced. She's already giving her heart to Xian Zihao.
