Chapter 1845: Because I Am Trustworthy

But Jiang Motian could not let herself remain immersed in feelings of sadness.

She still had questions to ask.

Raising her hand to wipe away her tear stains, Jiang Motian, with her eyes red and swollen, asked, "Aunt Xin'ai, do you know about the Chip?"

"Yes, when he came for his check-up, he spoke to me about it."

Recalling the events of the past, Liu Xin'ai first let out a sigh.

Then she said with emotion, "This child has truly had it hard, bearing immense pressure in silence. Fortunately, there was a good outcome, and things will only get better from here on out."

Listening to this, Jiang Motian nodded vigorously.

She also silently told herself that she would treat Xie Wanyi twice as well in the future!

Li Xingyan had been quietly listening to the two of them talk.

He did not want to interrupt either.

But...

Why was there a red mark on Jiang Motian?

Li Xingyan immediately became tense and asked, "What is this, a bloodstain?"

A bloodstain?

Jiang Motian followed the direction Li Xingyan was pointing and looked down.

She discovered that there really was a red bloodstain on the hem of her clothes.

Not wanting to cause a misunderstanding, she explained, "Xie Wanyi used a body double to meet with Li Shu, and when Ling Yu and I rushed over to provide support, this blood belonged to those who were injured."

Jiang Motian's original intention was to put her brother and Aunt Xin'ai at ease.

It was just that the content of her description...

... caused Li Xingyan's expression to change instantly!

He even involuntarily raised his voice: "How reckless! Why didn't you just stay home and wait for the results? And that Ling Yu, too—how was he watching over you!?"

Jiang Motian retorted, "Hearing the news that Wanyi was injured, do you think it was possible for us to remain indifferent?"

"Then you should have contacted me and let me handle it!"

Speaking of which...

Jiang Motian asked in confusion, "You dislike Wanyi so much, so how

is it that you know the most inside information? Even about his surgery, they told you?"

Jiang Motian truly could not understand.

She even suspected that Xie Wanyi and Li Xingyan had made some kind of deal.

A deal that tied their fates together.

Only then would Li Xingyan be forced to meddle in other people's business.

Jiang Motian was lost in her wild thoughts.

Li Xingyan, however, calmly provided the answer: "Because I am trustworthy."

"I am very trustworthy too!"

"But he couldn't bear to let you be worried and frightened."

Couldn't bear to?

So, he just kept everything hidden?

Jiang Motian lowered her eyes and muttered unwillingly, "Just because of those three words, he chose to face the difficulties alone? How ridiculous!"

Jiang Motian silently clenched her small fists.

Li Xingyan, however, felt his sister's description was incorrect.

He immediately corrected her: "What do you mean 'alone'? Wasn't I there, and Aunt Xin'ai as well?"

Watching Li Xingyan's straightforward demeanor, Liu Xin'ai shook her head gently.

Then she offered a hint: "Her point is that she regrets not being able to stand by Xie Wanyi's side at a critical moment."

Yes, that was exactly how Jiang Motian felt.

But she guessed that her brother certainly wouldn't understand.

In fact, that was indeed the case.

Li Xingyan furrowed his brows, his eyes writing two words: overly sentimental.

Jiang Motian did not want to cast pearls before swine, so she chatted with Liu Xin'ai about serious matters: "Will there be any aftereffects from this surgery?"

"Wanyi's situation is too unique; there are no cases to refer to. I can only say that, for now, everything is normal. As for the rest, we need to continue observing."

Liu Xin'ai spoke the truth without holding anything back.

And such candor made Jiang Motian feel somewhat anxious.

But then, thinking about it again...

Jiang Motian breathed deeply, then mut-

tered, "Regardless, he is still alive, and that is enough."

As her voice fell, Jiang Motian thought of the culprit behind it all...

Jiang Motian's gaze became a bit sharper.

She asked Li Xingyan, "Daring to provoke our Li Family—shouldn't we absolutely not let them off?"

"That goes without saying."

So this Li Shu...

He is finished!

Xie Wanyi felt as though he had been asleep for a very long time.

His body felt extremely exhausted.

He tried to open his eyes several times, but failed each time.

Fortunately, on the last attempt, he successfully lifted his eyelids.

However, after slowly opening his eyes, he found that everything he saw was white.

This color was just like his brain.

Empty and blank.

Xie Wanyi's fingers moved unconsciously.

And with this movement, a very soft sensation came to his fingertips.

Xie Wanyi turned his head slightly to look, and saw a person slumped beside his hand.

Jiang Motian had originally been sitting there.

But as a wave of sleepiness hit, she had slumped by the bedside to doze off.

She had even been dreaming.

In the dream, she was painting.

It was truly a perfect scene.

The lighting was also superb.

But someone was blocking the light.

Jiang Motian was so anxious that she shouted with all her might, telling the other person to move aside.

As a result, the person blocked all the light instead...

How wicked!

Jiang Motian used all her strength to wave her arm.

Slap—

Jiang Motian's hand had indeed touched something.

And this real sensation made her wake up with a start, and she immediately sat up straight.

Then, her dazed eyes landed on the hospital bed without focus.

And then, slowly, they locked onto Xie Wanyi...

"Wanyi, you're awake!?"

Confirming that Xie Wanyi had opened his eyes, Jiang Motian was overjoyed.

She was about to stand up to get a closer look at Xie Wanyi.

But while sleeping just now, Jiang Motian had kept one position, and her legs had gone numb.

Now that she stood up suddenly, a wave of soreness and numbness surged through her legs.

Jiang Motian hissed, lost her balance, and fell straight into Xie Wanyi's arms.

Xie Wanyi looked at his beloved who was within arm's reach and naturally ruffled the top of her hair.

Then he said with a smile, "Just woke up, and you're already throwing yourself at me? I can't handle that."

Jiang Motian propped herself up slightly, staring at Xie Wanyi without blinking.

From her observation, Xie Wanyi's smiling eyes were full of doting affection.

So...

"Do you still remember me?"

Xie Wanyi asked in confusion, "Why wouldn't I remember?"

"You had brain surgery, and I was so afraid that after you woke up, you would forget me!"

While waiting for Xie Wanyi to wake up, Jiang Motian had let her imagination run wild.

She had even considered the possibility of Xie Wanyi having amnesia.

If that were really the case, then Jiang Motian would have to pursue Xie Wanyi all over again.

But Jiang Motian wasn't very good at pursuing people, and she didn't know if she could make Xie Wanyi fall in love with her again...

Jiang Motian's wild thoughts made Xie Wanyi unable to help but say, "Silly girl."

Fine, Jiang Motian also admitted she was being silly.

But as long as Xie Wanyi was fine, Jiang Motian didn't mind being silly!

The corners of Jiang Motian's mouth curled up, and her eyes were sparkling.

Xie Wanyi thought he should be in the hospital, so he asked, "My surgery..."

"Don't worry, the surgery was very successful! The Chip has also been removed, and Li Shu will never be able to threaten you again!"

When Jiang Motian described it, her face still wore a look of excitement.

And the result she spoke of left Xie Wanyi feeling a bit dazed.

What happened after the surgery,

Xie Wanyi had no idea...
