Chapter 1333: The Journey Towards the Hospital
While everyone was immersed in a state of panic and fear, Si Yiyan was carrying Wen Xinya away from the backstage and they had long left Shangri-La hotel.
Wen Xinya did not sustain any injuries.
When the chandelier was swaying unsteadily from side to side and about to fall onto the runway, the sharp-sensed Si Yiyan, who had a heightened acuteness towards danger, already gave her a warning. After she cautioned everyone, she rolled away from the chandelier and immediately sprinted away from the dangerous area, after which she leaped off the runway.
However, the accident had still happened and due to the fact that Wen Xinya’s actions were way too forceful and vigorous, the heels of her stilettos snapped and caused her ankle to suffer a sprain.
She was then hidden into the bottom of the runway by Si Yiyan. Everything seemed to have happened in the speed of lightning.
Fortunately, the structure of the runway was stable and the chandelier did not destroy the flooring. Otherwise, the consequences would have been dire.
The thought of the gla.s.s shards of the chandeliers darting all over the place made her feel terrified. Fortunately, Si Yiyan arrived in the nick of time. Otherwise, she would have really been unable to leave the runway and would have been hit by the chandelier.
Wen Xinya placed her arm on Si Yiyan’s shoulder and stole a glance at him. “Where… are we going?” she asked fearfully.
The jewelry exhibition has yet to end. Is it really appropriate for me to leave without giving an explanation?
Besides, such a major accident happened and I got involved too. As the successor of the Wen Family and Wen Corporation, it’s not right for me to leave without giving a proper explanation!
Most importantly, Grandpa and my friends are going to be really worried about me!
“The hospital!” Si Yiyan answered while placing her carefully onto the pa.s.senger’s seat before buckling her safety belt.
His voice was mundane and monotonous.
However, Wen Xinya cringed cowardly after sensing the dominance and austerity of Si Yiyan’s aura. She could no longer sound self-righteous like she usually did. Hence, her friends were right about her being scared of Si Yiyan.
Wen Xinya glanced at Si Yiyan, who was seated in the driver’s seat, and said softly, “Are you angry? I didn’t expect that to happen just now!”
Si Yiyan was the kind to remain composed while keeping a straight face, regardless of his emotion. Even his right-hand man Gu Yuehan could never guess his feelings. However, Wen Xinya developed a sixth sense which allowed her to distinguish the changes in Si Yiyan’s emotions ever since she got to know him.
Actually, she was well aware that it was not because she understood Si Yiyan better than Gu Yuehan did.
It was because she had control over Si Yiyan’s emotions. To be exact, his feelings were all related to her, and she was mostly the reason for the change in his emotions.
Hence, she could sense that Si Yiyan was in low spirits at this moment.
Si Yiyan said calmly, “The situation just now… was very dangerous. However, you could react fast and sharp. You also reacted by taking the appropriate measures, except… that darned stiletto.”
In the future, he would never allow her to wear such high and thin heels. Although he could not deny the fact that Wen Xinya’s slender ankles looked extremely s.e.xy whenever she wore those heels, it was still too dangerous.
The thought of it still made his heart jump in fear.
Wen Xinya stared at Si Yiyan peculiarly, sensing that something was amiss with his emotions. Given his character, he definitely wouldn’t be able to a.n.a.lyze and discuss her actions with her so calmly.
She s.h.i.+fted her gaze onto Si Yiyan who was holding onto the steering wheel with stiff arms.
Hence, he was feeling extremely tense. Wen Xinya called, “Si Yiyan.”
“Yes?”
Wen Xinya looked at his hand and exclaimed, “You’re going to damage the steering wheel soon!”
Si Yiyan suddenly realize that he had yet to calm himself down and that he was too nervous!
Everything that happened just now was too hair-raising.
When he darted towards Wen Xinya after finding out that something had gone wrong, he watched as the chandelier plunged onto the runway. While others were busy screaming and panicking, he was thinking about Wen Xinya and praying for her safety while wis.h.i.+ng he could save her.
Unlike everyone who had no idea what had happened throughout the process, he had witnessed everything clearly thanks to his impeccable night vision.
He clearly saw the chandelier falling from the ceiling and onto the runway.
His heart almost jumped out of his chest at that instant.
He could feel his heart palpitating in an erratic rhythm and he could even hear the sound of his own heartbeat. Time seemed to have stopped at that instant. Everything seemed to have slowed down and taken place in slow motion. Every detail seemed like daggers slitting through his rationality.
“How’s your ankle? Does it still hurt badly?” Si Yiyan asked while holding onto the steering wheel, his veins bulging from beneath his skin.
He had already examined her sprained ankle just now and he could tell from experience that she did not hurt her ligaments.
Wen Xinya heaved a sigh of relief after seeing that Si Yiyan had resumed to normal. “It’s not that bad. I’ve only sprained it a little.”
Si Yiyan glanced at her sprained ankle and exclaimed, “Your ankle has already swelled up!”
He was surprised that Wen Xinya was careful enough to minimize the damage done to her ankle.
The chandelier had fallen way too suddenly and it was almost beyond his control. Fortunately, the training that he had been putting Wen Xinya through in the past few years came in handy. Although he was late to her rescue, Wen Xinya managed to save herself during the critical juncture.
However, he was not too pleased with the outcome.
This was the first time that he had ever let her get hurt in his presence. He felt absolutely terrible!
