Chapter 366: Chapter 351: Only Hoping She Overcomes the Hero’s Trial as a Beauty_2
"Is his head injured?" Tears welled up in Wen Nuan’s eyes. She stood up and carefully parted his hair, her little mouth trembling as if she would burst into tears any moment, "You fool, I told you not to come in."
If it’s not on the forehead, then it must be on the head. Although he seems healthy now, she’s still very worried. She doesn’t want him to get hurt; she’d rather it be herself...
"That blood isn’t mine."
She genuinely cares for him; it can’t be faked. Her heart is concerned for him. Leng Yan noticed her anxiety, a smile tugging at the corner of his lips. He happily pulled down her hand that was messing with his hair, wiped her tears, and his brows rose confidently, "The blood belongs to that person. I grabbed his wrist, and he cut himself with the knife. When I leaned down, his blood got on my forehead."
When he was little, people often called him a wild child. He fought with all his might, and in time, became quite adept through real battles. That person wasn’t a match for him at all.
"Where is he now?"
Wen Nuan sighed in relief, asking.
"He ran away." Leng Yan shrugged.
Wen Nuan was stunned, "He ran? How could you let him run away, that scoundrel..."
Her eyes welled up again with tears, her little face flushed red with anger, and her teeth clamped tightly together, "Let him go just like that?"
"Nuannuan." Leng Yan patted her back soothingly, "When I saw you faint, I pushed him aside and came over to you. He took that moment to escape."
All her previous worry for him turned to resentment and grievance when she realized he was unharmed. Her hand was held firmly by him, yet her body still trembled uncontrollably, tears flowing ceaselessly.
"Wah-wah, Yan, he almost..." Recalling that bastard still made her uneasy and scared. If she woke up and saw him again, she’d surely slap him hard, throw anything she could grab at him, kick him until he was dead, grind his bones to dust before feeling relieved.
"Alright, it’s okay now, I’m here, nothing will happen." Leng Yan spoke softly, wiping her tears bit by bit, comforting her, "Nuannuan, don’t be afraid, it’s all over now."
"Thankfully you came." Wen Nuan bit her lip, stopped crying, and her mind began to clear.
What’s wrong with her?
Why didn’t she remember and allowed him to hold her? Her face was flushed with annoyance, and she quickly distanced herself from him, her voice turning cold, "Why did you come here?"
"I was standing not far from the hotel, and when I saw some plainclothes officers rush out, I knew something was wrong. Without thinking much, I rushed up, called you but you didn’t answer, which scared me more, so I quickly asked the staff to bring me a key card." Leng Yan watched her move away again, a slight frown appearing on his face, a sigh floating in his brows, lowly asking:
"Now that you’re not scared, you want to stay far away from me. Nuannuan, isn’t this what they call ’burning bridges’?"
"It was just an accident earlier." Wen Nuan bit her lip, her eyes lowered slightly, "I’m sorry, I should maintain a certain distance. What happened today, I’m really thankful to you. Truly, I’m very grateful."
Because of her panic and anxiety, she leaned so close, even forgetting her current identity, curling up in his arms. It was her mistake, a momentary lapse of judgment.
"Wen Nuan!"
Ling Yan suddenly stood up, his thick eyebrows raised high, his fingers clenched into a fist with a creaking sound, his eyes filled with confusion and hurt, "I came to E City to find you, not to hear you say this!"
"Came to E City to find me?"
Wen Nuan’s heart throbbed, then her petal-like lips curled into a cold smile, "Are you saying, you came specifically to find me? Can you not lie to me?"
Clearly, he came to attend Old Man Zhan’s birthday banquet and saw her there by coincidence. Why twist it into this meaning?
He saved her today, and she was truly grateful, really grateful. However, she didn’t want to hear any more of such "special for her" talk.
She smiled, with desolation and self-mockery in her eyes, "Do you know? Saying this, makes me mistakenly think you still have feelings for me."
Leng Yan was stunned, "Mistakenly think? The reason I came to E City for my father’s birthday was because I knew you’d be here."
He clearly has feelings for her, so how could it be "mistakenly think"?
"Don’t say it like that, I beg you." Wen Nuan smiled again, "Aren’t you afraid Ji Wei would be mad if she knew about this? Haha, it’s been almost three months, don’t let the pregnant woman be upset. It wouldn’t be good for the baby. Leng Yan, don’t make me despise you. Since you have chosen her, don’t be indecisive."
"Wen Nuan!"
Leng Yan was furious, his lips turned pale with anger, and he reached out, pulling her up from the bed, leaning down to look at her, his pupils contracted, flashing with dangerous light, "You know clearly, I don’t care about her, nor do I care about the child in her belly! And what do you mean by indecisive? I only have you in my heart, how am I indecisive?"
Lies!
At this point, he still wants to deceive her!
Wen Nuan lifted her chin slightly higher, looking up at him obliquely, disappointment showing in her eyes, she bitterly chuckled, "Why go through so much trouble? At this point, are you still lying to me? Aren’t you doting on her? Didn’t you personally come to E City to pick her up? How is it, now you find her no good and think of me?"
She’d rather he told her that he couldn’t bear Ji Wei’s child, yet also didn’t want her to leave. Although she would still be sad, it would be better than hearing him lie to her with her own ears.
Initially, she was grateful to him today, but now she couldn’t withstand the anger. Her heart had turned ashen.
"Nuannuan..."
Leng Yan’s body trembled violently, watching her eyes filled with tears of disappointment rolling down. He gently wiped them away with his fingers, bewilderedly asking, "How did you know?"
This matter, besides Li Qiu and a few confidants like Xiao Jing, no one else knew... Oh, and also Leng Ye, he saw Ji Wei and knew it too.
"Did Leng Ye tell you?" Leng Yan’s face fell, his fingers tightened forcefully, and his teeth clamped tightly.
He should have thought of it, Leng Ye and Tan Qing are friends, he should also know that Nuannuan is here.
"Hehe." A laugh escaped Wen Nuan’s throat, joyous yet cold, "Why didn’t you guess that I saw it with my own eyes? If someone else had told me, how could I believe it so easily?"
