Man is a very strange animal. Once you accept him, even if he is a psychopath, you won’t be disgusted by him. If it had been before, A Miao would have choked.

But now…

“I didn’t say it was you!” Although she could not choke, she should make him angry.

Shen Xinglan was like beast with hair stood on end. His fierce eyes were fixed on A Miao.

“You haven’t pursued me, of course it’s not you.” A Miao now looked at that face. Apart from being ridiculous, it was just pleasurable.

After all, Shen Xinglan’s face looked better than hers!

“Do you like the new room?” Shen Xinglan suddenly changed the subject.

A Miao nodded. “Whether I like it or not, it is too expensive.”

“My woman naturally needs the best.” Shen Xinglan looked better when hearing her say that she liked it. He opened his mouth to drink the rest of the soup.

“Where are you going?” Seeing that A Miao had packed her things and was about to leave, he grabbed her.

A Miao turned her head and clearly saw that reluctance flashed through his eyes. She smiled and said, “I’ll ask Le Yi if there is anything I need to pay attention to at night.”

“Don’t go. He will come later.” Shen Xinglan pulled her to sit down.

The atmosphere suddenly became strange, and neither of them said a word. Shen Xinglan could not think of anything to say and suddenly became red in the face. A Miao saw that he had blushed, so she grabbed her hair and blushed as well.

“You…”

“I…”

“You speak first.”

“You speak first.”

There was another silence. Suddenly, Shen Xinglan grabbed her hand and said, “When I’m ready, I’ll go to see your aunt.”

“Aunt…?” A Miao did not understand.

Shen Xinglan raised his hand and patted her on the forehead. “Idiot!”

“Ah!” A Miao understood, then laughed from the bottom of her heart. “Well, she will surely be very happy.”

Looking at her eyes curve up as she smiled at him, Shen Xinglan felt that his whole heart became steady. Incidentally, he despised who he was before and decided that in the future he had to make her smile at him every day!

“What are you doing…” A Miao pulled back the corners of her mouth.

Shen Xinglan was trying to sit up.

“To hug you,” he said as he continued to move.

A Miao quickly held him down. “Don’t move. If that wound ruptures again, you will be in trouble.”

“Then you come and hug me.” Shen Xinglan lay back down and stretched out a hand.

Not caring about this lunatic, A Miao took the bowl to wash and also heard Shen Xinglan’s dissatisfaction behind her.

“Why didn’t I feel you’re so shy before…”

In the evening, Le Yi checked up on Shen Xinglan once again, and when he left, he spoke in a particularly meaningful way.

“Don’t even speak about strenuous exercise, you can’t even get up. Do you understand?”

A Miao pulled a long face and pretend that she did not hear it, while Shen Xinglan looked at Le Yi with a supercilious expression. “As long as I don’t reopen the wound. What are you so worried about?”

Just because of this sentence, A Miao stared at him like he was enemy. She sat on the sofa from a distance, not close to the hospital bed.

“Why are you sitting so far away?” Shen Xinglan was very dissatisfied. “Come here.”

A Miao looked at the ceiling. “I am afraid of touching your wound.”

“I’m not afraid. Come here quickly.” He was unwilling and shouting when he heard the voice of Shen I at the door.

“Mr. Ji, here you are!”

A Miao was surprised in her heart and instinctively ran to the edge of the bed next to Shen Xinglan.

Shen Xinglan grabbed her hand and said, “Don’t be scared.”

“What’s the matter with you?” Ji Zeming asked as soon as he came in as his eyes turned to Shen Xinglan.

Bai Yongwei also looked at him with a caring face. “Well, how is it possible that you got hurt? Gunshot wounds? Did you call the police?”

“It was an accident,” Shen Xinglan said indifferently. “Why are you here? It’s so late.”

Ji Zeming saw that he could still speak, so he was relieved. “Do you still want to keep such a big thing from me?”

“This is strange. I just woke up and haven’t even had time to tell you what happened to me. How did you find out?” Shen Xinglan’s eyes flashed across Bai Yongwei’s face and saw that her eyes were faintly proud.

“This is a Ji hospital, how could I not discover that you are staying here?” Ji Zeming was not in a good mood as he spoke, and he then looked at A Miao with a pale face. “My son was trying to save you, right?”

A Miao’s eyes panicked and she was about to speak, before Shen Xinglan cut in. “I saved my fiancee. Is there anything wrong with that?”

“Oh, what’s this all about?” Bai Yongwei sighed with affectation. “Xinglan, don’t hide it from me. When we came, we heard the nurse say that you blocked a bullet for A Miao.”

Ji Zeming sternly accused him. “Who did you provoke to make somebody else try to kill you?”

“Haha…” Shen Xinglan pinched A Miao’s hand and looked at them mockingly. “I don’t know who fired the gun, but you seem to know.”

“Xinglan, I’m not telling you. Don’t hide such a big thing for her sake. What if there is another time? You can’t be so lucky every time!”

Bai Yongwei gave A Miao a look and sneered secretly. “See if you can stay in the Ji house this time.”

“Aunt Bai is right!” Ji Zeming nodded. “Human life is important. We can’t just let this pass.”

Shen Xinglan snorted. “What do you want then?”

“You can’t have such a daughter-in-law as part of the Ji family. You’re not officially engaged anyway. Let her go.” Seeing that A Miao had remained quiet, Ji Zeming spoke with a calm face.

“Also, don’t say that our family bullied you. I know that you also had a bad time in the Xia family, so we will give you a sum of money and then you can leave happily.”

A Miao turned to look at Shen Xinglan and he looked back at her tenderly. She returned him a sparkling smile.

“Why are you still smiling?” Bai Yongwei shook her head sadly. “A Miao, I know you are a good girl. You can leave with the money guilt-free. We can take care of you in the future.”

Shen Xinglan suddenly nodded. “You have finally said something humane.”

“Xinglan…” Bai Yongwei’s face turned white.

“How can you talk like that to your Aunt Bai?” Ji Zeming reprimanded him.

Shen Xinglan looked at A Miao. “Didn’t you just say that A Miao is a good girl? That’s right.”

“So, you…”

“So, I won’t let her go. When I leave the hospital, I will get engaged to her. And when she graduates from college, we will get married.”

The more Ji Zeming listened, the darker his face became. He pointed at Shen Xinglan with a trembling hand.

“Look how angry your father is!” Bai Yongwei hurried over to hold Ji Zeming and make him sit down on the sofa.

A Miao quietly tugged at his sleeve, and Shen Xinglan gave her a look that said it was alright.

Le Yi pushed the door and came in to witness this scene.

“What’s all this noise?” He came in and took a look at Shen Xinglan.

Bai Yongwei knew that the doctor was a friend of Shen Xinglan and said, “Doctor Le, please advise Xinglan quickly. He has made his father so angry over an irrelevant person!”

Shen Xinglan asked, “Why have you come back again?”

“You are my patient now, so I have to be responsible for you!” Le Yi winked at A Miao.

Ji Zeming had just managed to calm down and wanted to continue admonishing his son when he heard Le Yi say,

“Mr. Ji, you don’t know Xinglan’s condition. Although it now looks like nothing is wrong with him, in fact, his body is very poor. I managed to save him, but if you make his wound get worse because of some trivial thing, then no one can save him.”

As soon as these words came out if his mouth, Ji Zeming lost his temper on the spot. He did not like A Miao, but he could not quarrel with his son now.

“Then… then you’d better persuade A Miao to leave quickly!” Bai Yongwei did not give up.

Le Yi looked at her with a smile, but the smile did not reach her eyes. “Didn’t you hear what I just said? Shen is a patient now. He can do whatever he wants.”

“Forget about it, forget about it!” Ji Zeming waved his hand and looked at A Miao with some disgust. “Stay and take care of Xinglan until he is discharged from the hospital.”

Bai Yongwei also wanted to say something, but seeing that Ji Zeming was ready to go, she had to restrain herself. But before leaving, she gave A Miao a ruthless glare.

A Miao responded to her with a particularly considerate smiling face. After which, she saw Shen Xinglan staring at her…

“What made you smile at her?” Just as Ji Zeming left, Shen Xinglan asked harshly.

Le Yi sniggered, and A Miao was ashamed and angry. She wanted to leave, but Shen Xinglan pulled her.

“Don’t smile at others so casually in the future.” Shen Xinglan paused and said, “And take off your sunglasses.”

Just when Ji Zeming had come in, A Miao put on her sunglasses, as she did not want to allow others to see her true appearance in this situation.

“It’s enough. A Miao has freedom. Is it still possible for you to keep her in a box?” Le Yi took a contemptuous look at Shen Xinglan. “What do you think of this today?”

“What kind of mother, what kind of son… A pair of idiots,” said Shen Xinglan with particular disdain.

“I’ll wash some fruit for you!” A Miao took that opportunity to pull back from his hand and run away.

Le Yi saw that Shen Xinglan’s eyes followed A Miao as she left. He could not help saying with a sigh, “If you don’t love, you’ll never love. But if you loves, you’re crazy!”

Shen Xinglan ignored his joke and added. “Ji Yan has always sent men to follow me. He should have seen something about this.”

“No wonder you said that both mother and son are stupid. She came here today to tell you clearly that you were being followed!” Le Yi smiled. “What did she say?”

“She said she heard the nurse talking when she came here, that I took a shot to save my fiancee.” Shen Xinglan lifted up his eyebrows. “I’m afraid that is not what Ji Yan meant.”

Ji Yan was more careful. Although he lacked courage and would only engage in intrigue, Bai Yongwei must have made her own decision today.

“So, during this stay in the hospital, Ji Shi will probably fall into Ji Yan’s hands, I’m afraid. So, would you let someone watch out for you?”

Shen Xinglan thought for a moment. “Now is really not the time. The company cannot let Ji Yan fool around. Call Ouyang back.”

When Le Yi left, A Miao came in with an apple.

“Did you go to the Pacific to wash it?” Shen Xinglan looked at her jokingly. “No one is here now. Come.”

A Miao’s eyes turned as she took the fruit knife from the table and sat down in front of him. “You… don’t touch it, I’ll peel the apple for you.”

“I won’t touch you it if you kiss me.” Shen Xinglan was like an old hooligan, with his eyes naked with longing for her.
