Chapter 405 - Qin Gengxin’s Appearance I
"You were covered in blood and you"re really scaring me to death! Yet here you, laughing at me!" Seeing that he was actually smiling, Jiang Ruolan couldn"t help but hit him on the shoulder. "I"m so worried, how can you still laugh?!"
However, just as she was about to hit him, Xian Zihao dodged and then grabbed her hand. "Didn"t the doctor say I"m all right now? How are you?"
His gaze fell on her stomach, and when he saw that she was unharmed, his tone became much softer.
"I"m fine, I ate well and slept soundly. I"m just afraid something will happen to you! It"s good you woke up now. Zihao, don"t scare me like this again. I really can"t stand you scaring me like this."
At that time, the wounds on Xian Zihao"s body were really too severe, to the point she knew in her heart that the probability of him being saved was less than 30%. But now, he was sitting right in front of her with a smile on his face.
Xian Zihao couldn"t hold back his laughter as he raised his hand to cover her eyes. With a funny expression, he said, "Don"t look at me with those eyes again. If you keep looking, there will be holes in my body."
Even though he said that, his other hand was still holding hers tightly. With a relaxed and indifferent tone, he comforted and consoled her.
Jiang Ruolan pulled his hand away. "Are you really not hungry?"
"I"m not hungry. Even though I haven"t eaten anything, I don"t have any appet.i.te. We"ll talk about it tomorrow." As he said this, Xian Zihao gently pulled Jiang Ruolan to his side, letting her sit on the edge of the bed.
He held her in her arms, gently caressed her shoulders, and his hand gradually slid down to her stomach before whispering next to her ear. "I was walking in the dark when I heard your voice, then I felt a movement in your stomach. Ruolan, you and our child are too strong, you give me the light and instructions to continue my journey in that endless darkness. Just remember, no matter what happens in the future, even if I go first, you must continue to live well and never ever mention death again."
Jiang Ruolan placed her head on his shoulder and smelled the faint medicinal fragrance on his body. She then wrapped her arms around his neck, "Then you have to promise to live with me for a very long time. You have to promise me that only old aged can separate us."
Xian Zihao laughed and patted her on the shoulder. "Idiot."
As Xian Zihao had just woken up and was still too weak, Jiang Ruolan helped him lie down on the bed again and promised that she would rest as well. Xian Zihao could no longer hold back as he slowly closed his eyes and fell asleep amid his fatigue and weakness.
The whole night, Jiang Ruolan stayed beside him.
After going through a life and death ordeal and the past few days of deep worry and fear, Jiang Ruolan did not dare to sleep. She was afraid when she woke up, Xian Zihao was still unconscious.
The next day, Jiang Ruolan continued to feed Xian Zihao a spoonful after a spoonful of porridge specially prepared by the hospital. His handsome and elegant face was devoid of any color, but there was a faint smile on it.
When Jiang Ruolan was feeding him, her clear eyes were filled with antic.i.p.ation and brightness. She always wished for him to eat a little more and hoped he recovered quickly.
It was rare for her to be able to take care of him. This was a new experience for her.
Xian Zihao, on the other hand, was very obedient. The two of them seemed to enjoy this kind of scene.
Until someone knocked on the ward door, and then Old Man Xian came in, "When I came, I heard from the doctor that Zihao is already awake? How is he?"
After saying that, the Old Man hurriedly walked inside and sized up the pale-faced Xian Zihao, who still had a smile on his face.
Old Man Xian immediately let out a sigh of relief, "You stinking brat, you"re finally awake."
"Grandfather, don"t worry. How would I dare to leave first? If I leave first, won"t you overturn the sky and chase after me with your cane all day along?" Xian Zihao teased with a chuckle.
"Hmph, consider yourself sensible. Finally you know your grandfather"s temperament!" The Old Man tilted his head and glanced at the bowl in Jiang Ruolan"s hand. "Ruolan, what did you give him? If that"s something you bought outside, don"t let Zihao eat it. Once he wakes up, his body will need nutrients. There is too much MSG inside food made outside, bad for his body!"
"Grandfather, this was specially made by the hospital and full of nutrition. I took a look and found it very clean. I was afraid that Zihao would be hungry, so I fed it to him while it was still warm." Jiang Ruolan pointed at the tray of food on the small table next to her.
"If that"s the case, then it"s alright. Before I came here, Xiaoan told Nanny Cheng to prepare quite a lot of soup to replenish the blood. She"ll probably bring it over in a while. Zihao had lost too much blood this time, so he needed to eat this kind of food." The Old Man muttered as he walked to the bedside. After pondering for a moment, he said to Jiang Ruolan, "Spoiled girl, let grandpa talk to Zihao for a moment."
Jiang Ruolan knew that the Old Man wanted to ask about the car accident. Most likely, it had something to do with the Jiang Family, and the Old Man wanted to hide it from her because he didn"t want her to be stuck in the middle.
Jiang Ruolan didn"t say anything else. She put down the bowl on the tray. "In that case, grandpa, I will go out first. If you need anything, call me."
"Go on, I"m just talking to Zihao. It won"t be long. I don"t dare to disturb your lovey-dovey moments." Old Man Xian smiled.
Jiang Ruolan immediately blushed and secretly glanced at Xian Zihao. Seeing him smiling, she quickly walked out of the ward.
However, the moment Jiang Ruolan walked out, she caught a glimpse of a figure walking towards her. She looked over and saw that it was Qin Gengxin. He was talking on the phone, and his eyes inadvertently turned to Jiang Ruolan.
Immediately, Qin Gengxins hand that was holding the phone stiffened. He paused for a moment, then said something unknown to the person at the end of the line. After saying a few more words, he put down the phone.
"He"s awake?" He walked towards her.
Ever since the matter with Xian Guiying"s pregnancy was exposed, he had never spoken to her at such a close distance. Even if they met at G City last week, Qin Gengxin and Jiang Yijun didn"t seem to have any intentions of communicating with her.
After a few months of not seeing him, Jiang Ruolan suddenly realized that she didn"t know how to face him anymore.
In the past, Qin Gengxin had liked her and always teased her whenever they met, but their relationship at that time was like good friends. Now, Jiang Ruolan didn"t know how to talk to him and didn"t know what kind of att.i.tude or tone she had to use.
Seeing her hesitant expression, Qin Gengxin snickered and tapped her forehead, "What are you thinking about? After not seeing each other for a long time, you become stupid?"
