The woman finally got herself into big trouble. She screamed, "Di Jue's CEO? How is that possible? How can that ugly woman be the CEO's woman! "
"Nothing is impossible."
Xiang Nian saw the woman's shocked expression and her refusal to believe the truth. He suddenly felt pity for her and said, "This is what happens when you look down on others. Go back and pack your things. This might be the last time you can enjoy the title of Madam Director. Cherish it."
With that, he turned and chased after Si Lijue.
The woman collapsed on the ground, knowing that she was done for.
…
On the other side.
Xia An 'an endured the stares of the passersby. She couldn't help but tug on Si Lijue's clothes and whisper, "Sir, put me down. It's too ostentatious."
"Isn't this good? Let those snobs see clearly whose woman you are. They won't dare to bully you in the future."
Si Lijue was about to explode.
Those people cursing Xia An 'an made him want to make them regret coming out of their mother's womb. She was just a Madam Director and yet they dared to throw tantrums at his woman. They must be tired of living!
Xia An 'an heard Si Lijue label her as his and thought of He Nianchu. She panicked and quickly struggled. Si Lijue couldn't control himself and said angrily, "If you move again, I'll force a kiss on you right here!"
Xia An 'an immediately stopped.
She didn't think Si Lijue was joking.
This man was serious.
Si Lijue was very satisfied with Xia An 'an's obedience. The elevator stopped at the 12th floor. There were fewer people coming and going and the environment was much better than downstairs. Si Lijue brought her into the intensive care unit and gently put Xia An' an down. "If there's anything you want to eat, I'll get them to buy it."
Xia An 'an shook her head. She said, "I'm not hungry yet. What do you want to eat? I'll go back and buy it later."
Si Lijue thought for a moment and then grabbed Xia An 'an's leg.
"Sir, you …"
Xia An 'an cried out in surprise. She wanted to retract her foot, but Si Lijue said, "Let me take a look at your ankle. Weren't you unable to stand up just now?"
Xia An 'an didn't expect Si Lijue to notice such a small movement.
There were ripples in her heart, as if a warm current was flowing through it. She saw Si Lijue seriously checking her ankle and her heart couldn't help but beat faster. She really liked this man.
He was always cold to outsiders, but he was always gentle to her.
Xia An 'an saw the bruises under Si Lijue's eyes and couldn't help asking worriedly, "Has Sir been very busy recently?"
"Recently, a project in the south is about to start. There's a lot of preparation work to be done, so I'm a little busy."
Xia An 'an knew that it was the project she mentioned to He Nianchu. Thinking about He Nianchu's reaction, Xia An 'an felt that there would be some twists and turns to clinch the South China Sea project. Looking at Si Lijue's tired face, her heart ached. Xia An' an shrank back and couldn't help but whisper, "No matter how busy you are, you have to take care of your body.
What's the use of earning so much money if your body collapses? "
Si Lijue couldn't help but laugh when he heard Xia An 'an say that. Indeed, Xia An 'an would say something like that. When he was outside, he heard the most about how amazing he was and how easy the South China Sea project was. He would definitely be fine. Those people all worshipped him as if there was nothing in the world that Si Lijue couldn't do. But Xia An' an didn't care about that.
She cared about him as a person.
Si Lijue went up and hugged Xia An 'an.
Xia An 'an was shocked and wanted to push him away. "Sir, don't be like this …"
Si Lijue ignored Xia An 'an's slight struggle. He was like a large dog, gently rubbing Xia An' an and saying, "An, I want to eat the food you cook. I can't eat the food outside … Hurry up and get better, okay?"
Xia An 'an's struggle became weaker and weaker. Hearing Si Lijue's words, which were full of attachment, she felt a lump in her throat.
She really wanted to go back and cook Si Lijue's favorite dishes every day. She wanted to watch him finish all the food she made. She wanted to put on an extra set of clothes for him at night and make him a bowl of hot noodles when he was hungry.
She wanted to stay by Si Lijue's side and take care of him. She wanted to be his pillar of support. When he was busy with work, she wanted to have a safe harbor where he could relax.
Her wish had always been simple, but it was too difficult to make it come true.
The difference in their family background.
The difference in their status.
Even their appearances were a huge barrier between the two of them.
The more Xia An 'an thought about it, the more hopeless she felt. She couldn't help but grab Si Lijue's clothes and force herself to hold back her tears. She forced herself to put up a wall and said against her will, "Your wife will do these things for you in the future. Since you want to eat the food I cook, I'll teach your wife and let her cook for you in the future.
Eat. "
Xia An 'an's words made Si Lijue very unhappy. He frowned and pushed Xia An' an away. Gritting his teeth, he enunciated each word clearly, "Xia An 'an, must you push me away?"
Xia An 'an lowered her head so that she didn't have to look at Si Lijue's expression. She said softly, "I'm sorry, Sir. I only have gratitude for you and never love you. I'm very grateful for everything you've done for me, but I can't accept you. Please forgive me."
Si Lijue suddenly stood up. His eyes seemed to be spitting fire as he stared at Xia An 'an. He clenched his fists, loosened them, and clenched them again. He said coldly, "Xia An' an, there's a limit to my patience with you!"
"Then please give up on this hopeless patience."
Xia An 'an forced herself to say those words. Unfortunately, Si Lijue was in a fit of anger and didn't notice that Xia An' an was trembling all over. She was trying her best to control her emotions, trying her best to stop herself from throwing herself at him and hugging him tightly.
Si Lijue didn't expect that the heartwarming scene between the two of them would disappear in just a few minutes.
He kicked the chair to the ground, making a loud crashing sound.
Xia An 'an looked up in shock. Her eyes were filled with tears, but Si Lijue had already turned around. He said coldly, "Have a good rest. I'll come and see you when I have time."
With that, he quickly walked out of the ward.
The sound of the door closing was so loud that it seemed like it was going to shatter the house.
After Si Lijue left, Xia An 'an finally heaved a sigh of relief. She pressed down on her rapidly beating heart. She wasn't sure how much longer she could hold on.
She was afraid that she would reveal her true feelings if she didn't believe it.
Xia An 'an curled herself up tightly and buried her head. She was in pain, suffering, and struggling. What should she do?
She didn't want to give up, but she had no choice.
A dark despair began to spread in the house.
After Si Lijue left, she didn't see him for a few days.
Xia An 'an became quieter. When she was awake, she would either stare blankly at the sky or stare at a corner for a long time. Time didn't seem to matter to her. She didn't know what day it was, what day it was, and what day it was. She was in a daze.
His boring life suddenly ushered in a favorable turn because of someone's arrival.
This person was none other than the young master of the Family He who had saved Xia An 'an on Russia Island, He Sijie.
