Regretful Beijing Marriage

Fu Huaiyan's Adam's apple bobbed slightly.

He moved his hand, his palm burning hot, and firmly placed it on the back of Jiang Yining's hand.

"Need not."

Jiang Yining didn't waste any words. With a flick of her fingertips, she directly pulled off his hospital pants.

She froze on the spot the moment the fabric slipped off.

The dense array of wounds suddenly came into view.

Old and new scars intertwined, menacingly occupying the skin's texture.

At this moment, there is no ambiguity.

It was a mixed bag of emotions.

Jiang Yining dared not say that she understood Fu Huaiyan.

But after so many years together, she was still very clear about the injuries he had.

She truly had no idea what Fu Huaiyan had gone through during that time.

So, were these injuries caused by him, or by her...?

Just as Jiang Yining was lost in thought, a warm hand suddenly covered her eyes.

It blocked all view.

Fu Huaiyan's breathing was slightly unsteady.

"Don't look, you don't need to wipe it, I can do it myself."

Jiang Yining snapped out of her daze, handed him the warm towel, and then turned around.

"Call me when you're done."

"it is good."

A long silence fell behind him.

The ward was quiet, with only intermittent, slightly heavy breathing.

The sound of his breathing was strained and restrained.

Every movement told Jiang Yining how difficult it was for Fu Huaiyan to move.

Jiang Yining pursed her lips and clenched her fingers.

My mind is in turmoil.

Ultimately, they could not turn a blind eye.

A moment later, she turned around and took the towel back from Fu Huaiyan's hand.

"You're too slow, let me do it."

Her movements were gentle, carefully avoiding the gruesome wound.

Gently wipe away the thin layer of sweat and dirt from your skin.

They remained silent throughout.

Even the slightest noise was amplified infinitely in the silent ward.

Jiang Yining could even hear Fu Huaiyan's strong heartbeat.

An ambiguous relationship seemed to silently linger between the two.

At this moment, Fu Huaiyan suddenly chuckled softly, his voice hoarse and somewhat languid.

"You were much gentler this time than last time."

Jiang Yining was preoccupied with her own thoughts and didn't bother to respond to his joke.

After doing all this, she straightened up, moved a little distance away, and sat on the edge of the hospital bed.

"Fu Huaiyan, I have something to ask you."

Fu Huaiyan raised his eyes, his deep black eyes steadily landing on her face.

"What do you want to ask?"

"What exactly happened in yesterday's car accident?"

Jiang Yining's gaze sharpened. "Were those people chasing you after me?"

Fu Huaiyan seemed to have anticipated her question, and his expression remained unchanged.

"no."

Jiang Yining stared at him quietly for a few seconds before finally looking away.

"You really don't intend to tell the truth? Fu Huaiyan, why are you doing this?"

She paused, then gave a mocking smirk.

"Fu Huaiyan, don't actually tell me that it's because we got divorced that you suddenly realized your mistake and want to pursue me again?"

Fu Huaiyan's gaze was deep and fixed on her profile.

No one spoke.

His gaze was burning hot.

The heat made Jiang Yining's cheeks burn.

After a long pause, Fu Huaiyan's Adam's apple bobbed slightly.

What if I said yes?

The air froze instantly.

Jiang Yining's heart skipped a beat, and she fell silent.

She never imagined that he, so high and mighty, would one day bow his head.

But is it useful to say all this now?

Even if he makes amends now, can all the cold looks and heartache she endured over the years be erased?

Just as her emotions were churning, Fu Huaiyan was the first to withdraw his gaze and broke the silence with a soft laugh.

"Just kidding."

"We haven't announced our divorce to the public. In name, you are still my wife, Fu Huaiyan."

"Protecting you is simply what I should do."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Yining suddenly smiled faintly.

The smile was cold and sarcastic.

Only after a divorce do they start protecting each other?

How do you explain his past indulgence of Shen Miaoyin?

Jiang Yining's eyes gradually turned cold.

The atmosphere in the ward was somber and oppressive.

The next moment, the attending physician pushed open the door and entered.

He held the medicine in his hand, preparing to treat Fu Huaiyan's wound.

Jiang Yining stood up smoothly, concealing all emotions in her eyes.

"Since you're alright, I'll be going now."

Fu Huaiyan looked up at her retreating figure, his eyes holding a thousand unspoken words.

After much deliberation, only one sentence remained.

"Okay, be careful on the road."

Jiang Yining paused slightly, but did not turn around.

The moment she stepped out of the ward, her face grew increasingly solemn.

She was certain that Fu Huaiyan was hiding something.

And this matter is related to her.

However, this matter still baffled Jiang Yining.

If Fu Huaiyan truly shielded him from disaster, then who was the one who wanted to kill him?

Her greatest enemy is Shen Miaoyin.

However, the Shen family's capabilities are simply insufficient to shake Fu Huaiyan's position.

So what kind of conspiracy is behind this?

Jiang Yining was completely baffled.

If she couldn't figure it out, she simply stopped thinking about it.

They then drove to Wen Junshan's residence.

Even though she was certain of Shen Tian's parentage, she still wanted to see the final results of the paternity test with her own eyes.

When they arrived at the Wen family's house, Zhou Xubai was also there.

Upon seeing Jiang Yining, Zhou Xubai almost instinctively stepped forward and pulled her into his arms.

"Ningning, don't be afraid, everything will be alright."

The close proximity made Jiang Yining feel somewhat uncomfortable.

Before she could push him away, Zhou Xubai seemed to sense something was wrong and took a step back.

"Feel sorry."

He then handed over a document.

"I'm about to come to you; this is the indictment I've prepared."

"If the Shen family dares to use Shen Tian to blackmail you, this indictment will be enough to ruin their reputation."

"I will bring Shen Tian to your side."

Jiang Yining was taken aback, her heart filled with mixed emotions.

She couldn't bring herself to use Shen Tian as leverage.

Zhou Xubai didn't notice anything unusual about her and continued to hold her hand.

"Don't worry, leave this to me."

Jiang Yining withdrew her hand and pushed the document back.

"No need, Xu Bai, I can handle this myself."

Zhou Xubai's eyes were filled with disappointment and resentment.

He reached out and grabbed her wrist again, with a slightly firm grip.

"Even now, you still won't try to rely on me just once?"

"If Mr. Wen hadn't told me, I would still be in the dark."

"After all this time we've known each other, why are you still unwilling to tell me everything on your mind?"

My wrist was gripped so tightly that I felt a sharp pain.

Jiang Yining frowned.

"Xu Bai, Shen Tian is not an object to be manipulated; he has his own thoughts and understanding."

"He has lived in the Shen family for more than ten years and has long since accepted his identity and family."

"If he doesn't want to leave the Shen family, it's pointless for anyone to force him."

"He's my brother. If he doesn't want to, I won't force him."
