Chapter 1798: Who Exactly Did He Offend?

~7 min read 1,365 words

Xie Wanyi's touch shattered Jiang Motian's fantasy.

Jiang Motian rubbed her nose and muttered in a low voice, "I was also afraid you would get tired."

However, speaking of the topic of being tired or not...

Jiang Motian raised her head and scrutinized Xie Wanyi's face carefully.

The next instant, she cupped Xie Wanyi's face again.

And Xie Wanyi, whose face was being cupped, looked bewildered.

He asked, "What's wrong?"

"How come it feels like... after not seeing you for a few days, there is a heavy sense of fatigue in your eyes?"

"Impossible, I have been sleeping well."

"This has nothing to do with sleeping well, it's just this look in your eyes... um... how should I put it?"

Jiang Motian racked her brains, wanting to come up with an appropriate description.

But before she could think of one, a young nurse approached them excitedly.

However, when the young nurse saw the intimate gesture between Xie Wanyi and Jiang Motian, the expression on her face froze.

Afterwards, she greeted Xie Wanyi somewhat uncomfortably and asked, "Mr. Xie, is this your girlfriend?"

"Yes."

"Your girlfriend is really beautiful."

"Thank you."

Xie Wanyi's response was very cold.

The young nurse didn't say anything else and turned to leave.

But Jiang Motian had noticed that the nurse was holding a small, individually wrapped bread in her hand.

It looked delicious.

Also, she noticed a red ballpoint pen clipped to the young nurse's chest.

Withdrawing her gaze, Jiang Motian raised an eyebrow and said, "That young nurse..."

"Is the one Ling Yu wanted the phone number from."

Xie Wanyi knew what Jiang Motian wanted to say, so he gave the answer directly.

And this answer made Jiang Motian reveal an inscrutable expression.

She even deliberately remarked, "If you had asked, the young nurse definitely would have given you her number."

Asking for the number was not the point.

Jiang Motian likely had another implication.

Xie Wanyi didn't speak in riddles either and asked directly, "What do you want to say?"

Jiang Motian first made a "tsk-tsk" sound twice.

Then she shook her head and sighed, "Some people, they call others a male peacock, but in the end, they are the ones who are even less reassuring!"

It was very obvious that she was implying something about Xie Wanyi.

But Xie Wanyi only felt that he was innocent!

He reached out and wrapped his arm around Jiang Motian's waist, his voice very deep: "In my eyes, there is only you."

After saying this, Xie Wanyi also kissed Jiang Motian on the lips.

Jiang Motian, however, pushed against Xie Wanyi's shoulders and reminded him, "Someone is looking over here, pay attention!"

Such a reminder had no effect.

Xie Wanyi stared intently at Jiang Motian and said, "I am already paying close attention; do you want to experience what I am like when I let loose?"

When he said this, his gaze was quite alluring!

Jiang Motian even had the feeling of being electrified all over!

However, Jiang Motian did not show any signs of it.

Instead, she commented calmly, "You really are a menace."

This comment made Xie Wanyi laugh.

As he laughed, his shoulders bobbed up and down.

Watching that rhythmic heaving, Jiang Motian felt a little like pouncing over and taking a bite!

Fortunately, she held back.

After grinding her teeth lightly, she said again, "Such a menace, it's better to keep you by my side and let you menace only me!"

"In that case, I should thank you for your spirit of self-sacrifice."

"You're welcome, you're welcome."

"But since self-sacrifice is so tiring, let me do it instead; you just need to pick a time and place."

This...

Why would one need to pick a time and place?

Jiang Motian didn't understand, and she even wanted to consult Xie Wanyi.

But when she saw the look in Xie Wanyi's eyes that contained a hidden meaning...

Jiang Motian understood everything!

So this "self-sacrifice" was not that "self-sacrifice"!

Xie Wanyi was deliberately taking advantage of her!

Having figured it out, Jiang Motian darkened her expression and became unhappy.

Seeing this, Xie Wanyi didn't dare to tease her anymore.

Raising his hand to ruffle Jiang Motian's hair, Xie Wanyi changed the subject: "Shall we go eat together in a little while?"

"No, I'm full from anger."

"Angry already? Then what should I do? Let's go to a place with no one around so I can coax you."

As Xie Wanyi said this, he moved to scoop Jiang Motian up horizontally.

His actions frightened Jiang Motian into immediately stepping back to keep her distance from him.

She even said: "You're just intimidating me!"

"Oh, the misunderstanding is getting deeper. It seems we need to have a 'deep' discussion."

Hmm...

Was Jiang Motian overthinking it?

Why did it feel like Xie Wanyi's words... were becoming increasingly improper?

Sensing Xie Wanyi approaching again, Jiang Motian immediately stopped her wild thoughts.

She hurriedly feigned weakness: "I'm hungry, let's just go eat."

Xie Wanyi curled his lips, looking a bit smug: "Wouldn't it have been better to just do that earlier?"

"Who could have guessed you have so many little tricks up your sleeve now!"

"Hmm, what are you muttering about?"

"I said, let's go ask Ling Yu what he wants to eat, we can bring it back for him!"

Jiang Motian lied with a serious face.

Xie Wanyi naturally knew Jiang Motian was lying, but he didn't expose her; instead, he took Jiang Motian's hand and returned to the hospital room with her.

Just as they reached the door of the room and pushed it open a crack, the two of them heard the sound of a heavy object hitting the floor inside!

At the same time, a scent of blood wafted out...

Xie Wanyi's heart sank!

He pushed Jiang Motian aside and threw the hospital room door wide open.

He saw that Ling Yu, who had originally been lying on the hospital bed, had already fallen to the floor.

A burly man was grabbing his hair and swinging his fist.

Discovering someone standing at the door, the burly man's expression turned vicious; he was actually going to snap Ling Yu's neck!

Ling Yu was already on the verge of death.

It was very difficult for him to dodge this ruthless strike!

Fortunately, Xie Wanyi grabbed a bottle from the doorway and smashed it hard at him.

The bottle hit the burly man squarely on the back of the head, making his body sway.

It was in this brief moment that Xie Wanyi rushed over.

He circled behind the burly man and used his elbow to choke the man's neck!

The man found it difficult to breathe from the chokehold.

And in order to break free from Xie Wanyi, the man flashed a dagger from his bosom...

Jiang Motian couldn't help but gasp.

And the moment the man swung the dagger, Xie Wanyi dodged it.

It was precisely because of this dodge that the burly man broke free from Xie Wanyi's control and fled at top speed.

Xie Wanyi had no intention of chasing him; he leaned over to check on Ling Yu.

The next second...

"Doctor, doctor!"

In the end, Ling Yu, who had already fallen into a coma, was sent to the emergency room.

Xie Wanyi didn't speak again.

He just waited outside the emergency room.

At the same time, he sent a message to his subordinates, ordering them to investigate the burly man who had just attacked Ling Yu.

Through the investigation, it was discovered that he was actually also a mercenary.

Linking this to Ling Yu's encounter on the side of the road, Xie Wanyi couldn't help but frown, wanting to know which faction Ling Yu had offended to warrant such a ruthless attack...

Just as Xie Wanyi's brow furrowed tighter and tighter, he felt his palm being held by someone.

He turned his head and saw Jiang Motian's gentle face.

Jiang Motian had been staying with Xie Wanyi the whole time.

She didn't speak either, but her presence caused Xie Wanyi's panicked and uneasy heart to calm down bit by bit.

Jiang Motian could feel Xie Wanyi's calmness.
