Chapter 120 Cracks in the Frozen Heart
Chapter 120 Cracks in the Frozen Heart
Jian Wu had a big appetite now. She drank a big bowl of soup and ate a golden corn cake. She touched her stomach with satisfaction and looked at the person on the bed with regret. They had agreed to drink mutton soup together today.
After half a day of tossing and turning and the shock, Jian Wu felt very weak and fell asleep again while lying on the bed. When she woke up again, she heard a familiar and low voice. When she regained consciousness, she saw that the person next to her had sat up.
"You're awake, why are you sitting up? Does the wound hurt? Do you want to call a doctor to take a look?"
Pu Ruqing smiled and patted his wife's hand to comfort her. He felt so sweet in his heart that the person he loved so much cared about him.
"I'm fine. I just got up because I wanted to go to the bathroom."
Jian Wu sat up and saw that there were quite a few people in the room, including Uncle Ji from the Ran family.
"Wuwu, you are sleeping so soundly. I can even hear your little snoring."
Ran Ruyi sat directly next to Jian Wu. She had been staring at her sleeping face for a long time. Even when she was sleeping, the beauty was so pleasing to the eye.
"Okay, now that we're awake, let's not stay any longer. Girl, come and sit at my house when you have time."
Old Master Ran also came, and he finally saw Ruqing's wife. He felt relieved to see that the two of them had such a good relationship.
Jian Wu quickly got out of bed and insisted on showing full respect to elders.
"Thank you for the trip, Grandpa Ran. I will come to see you when Ruqing gets better."
"Hahahaha, good, good, what a likable girl."
After seeing off the Ran family, I saw Uncle Ji and the child's father's dark faces. It seemed that they knew who did it. But the speed at which the two changed their faces was so fast that they obviously didn't want me to worry.
"Madam, I've made you some bird's nest porridge tonight. Drink some later."
"Okay, I'm hungry again."
Pu Ruqing injured his shoulder and could only eat with one hand. Jian Wu wanted to help feed him but was stopped by Uncle Ji, who rudely asked the injured patient to eat with one hand.
To Uncle Ji, his young master's injury was nothing, so how could he let the young mistress, who was pregnant, get tired.
"Madam, please go home and rest tonight. The young master has someone to take care of him in the hospital, and I'm afraid you won't be able to rest well here."
"No need. I feel more at ease sleeping next to him. He doesn't need me to take care of him anyway, right?"
Pu Ruqing grinned widely. His wife finally opened her heart to him. He believed that it would not be long before his hard work finally paid off.
"Uncle Ji, I can't leave my wife either, so please don't take her away."
"You kid~~Okay, okay, I'll send some more staff to the hospital. If the young lady is hungry in the middle of the night, just ask someone to bring her here."
Uncle Ji was really relieved. As long as the couple had a good relationship, why would they worry about having children? The Pu family had few descendants, but he believed that a series of children would be born in the future to strengthen the Pu family.
"Then I'll leave first and come back to deliver food tomorrow morning."
As soon as Jian Wu put down her bowl and chopsticks, someone came with a handkerchief to help her wipe her mouth. She gently held the big hand.
"I can wipe it myself. The wound must be very painful."
Pu Ruqing held his wife's tender small hand with his backhand and rubbed it gently.
"It doesn't hurt. I've been through so many ambushes like this since I was a kid. The wounds on my body keep increasing, but I'm used to it."
"Don't get used to it. You will have a wife and children in the future. You can't get hurt again for our sake. So quickly deal with those who want to kill you. Then we will go far away, even if it means living in seclusion in the mountains."
Jian Wu thought of the paradise she had found before. If the day came when there was no place to hide, she might as well live there. She would not have to worry about food and drink and would be safe.
"There won't be a day when there's nothing left to hide. The worst that can happen is that we can go abroad. The Pu family still has stable businesses abroad. I can give you a good life wherever I am."
"Well, I believe you. Just don't take the bullet for me next time. I still have the ability to protect myself."
Pu Ruqing did not agree. Isn't it his most basic responsibility to protect his wife? He got out of bed and helped his wife walk around the room out of habit.
Jian Wu watched the people around her every move, caring about her all the time. She felt like she was being devoured, and even her heart that had been frozen for two lifetimes began to crack. So this is what it feels like to be loved and cherished.
"I had a nightmare a while ago. I thought it was just overthinking, but it was the same dream for several days in a row, and it became clearer day by day."
Pu Ruqing immediately became nervous. Was it because he scared his wife by expressing his hatred?
"It's my fault. If I had known, I wouldn't have told you so many complicated and disgusting things."
"It's not because of you. I feel like the dream is a sign. Can I tell you what the dream was about after you've recovered from your injury?"
"Okay, just tell me and transfer the dream."
Regardless of whether the historical process she knew would occur or not, she would tell him about it through dream telling as a reminder to him.
Maybe he could be of some help in his road to revenge. She needed this man now. As a husband and a father, nothing could happen to him.
As soon as Shang Weidong returned to Long City, he received the news that Pu Ruqing was attacked. Especially when he knew that Jian Wu was also in the car, he threw the cup in his hand.
"Brother Dong, Pu Ruqing sent us a message asking us to cut off another leg of Ji Gengnian."
"Ji Gengnian! I thought he needed some time to catch his breath but I didn't expect him to attack again. Get people ready to act immediately. I want Ji Gengnian's life this time."
Shang Weidong rushed to the hospital within the limited time and nodded when he saw A Tai standing guard outside the door.
"Why did you come here?"
"Are Jian Wu and the child okay?"
The corners of A Tai's mouth twitched. Is there anyone who cares about his wife so blatantly?
"Ma'am, it's okay. You can go back now."
"I want to see them both."
"They are all asleep."
A Tai firmly opposed Shang Weidong's approach. The relationship between the husband and wife had finally made progress, and it couldn't be destroyed by outsiders.
Just as the two were arguing, the door of the ward opened.
"Atai goes into the house and keeps watch."
Pu Ruqing walked out with a pale face. He knew that this man would definitely not be able to help but come to the hospital.
In the gap between the door opening and closing, Shang Weidong still saw the person sleeping on the bed. Just this one glance was enough, as long as everyone was safe.
"Go to the next room."
The two stood facing each other, calm and harmonious, with none of the tension that had been there before.
"Are you going to protect her in this way?"
"Yeah, that's great, I like it."
Pu Ruqing chuckled, not laughing at Shang Weidong's decision, but wondering whether he could do this if the two of them switched places.
"Then you should also know that I don't owe you anything. This operation against Ji Gengnian is very dangerous. Tell me what you need from me in exchange, or you can withdraw and I will send someone to take action."
"No, I have to do it this time. His target should be Jian Wu. I can't let him go as long as he hurts her."
