Chapter 126: Stolen Kiss
Xie Jingyan’s throat bobbed slightly.
He looked up at the camera at the end of the hospital corridor, which could see this place of his.
Then he observed the surroundings; it was late at night, quiet and empty, with no one around.
He then looked at Jiang Ning, pushed her lightly, and said in a very low voice, “Jiang Ning…”
Seeing no reaction from her, she was fast asleep.
He breathed a sigh of relief lightly, slowly leaned closer, felt their breathing intertwine, then lowered his head and kissed her red lips contentedly.
His curiosity toward the opposite sex was uncontrollable; he had no choice.
And at this moment, at the corner of the corridor.
Su Wanyuan witnessed everything with a pale face.
From her perspective, she could only see Xie Jingyan slightly turned to the side, lowering his head to kiss Jiang Ning.
This scene pierced her eyes deeply, making her eye sockets sore and swollen.
Clearly, on that night when Xie Jingyan coldly drove her away, she had sworn that she would never humble herself and plead in front of him again.
She no longer hoped he could forgive her, nor did she want to keep slapping a hot face against a cold butt.
She had her pride too.
She could pick it up and put it down.
But when she personally saw the person she had once liked so much embracing and kissing the person she hated, she still felt something blocking her breathing, making even her gasps difficult.
Xie Jingyan’s expression was very gentle, a doting he himself hadn’t noticed.
Even though Su Wanyuan had grown up with Xie Jingyan since childhood, she had never seen such an expression on his face.
It was as if what was placed before him was some treasure.
So what was she before?
Su Wanyuan didn’t believe there had never been a place for her in Xie Jingyan’s heart.
Even just thinking of that possibility made her heart ache with madness.
He would rather like Jiang Ning, the person who had bullied and dominated him for so long; he was too cheap, really too cheap.
And Jiang Ning, why did she keep ruining her good deeds time and again?
Su Wanyuan no longer hoped Xie Jingyan would change his mind.
She only sought for herself to have smooth sailing from now on, to rise straight to the top.
She hid at the edge, not letting them see her.
Her arm was scorching hot, with a line of blood-red words on it.
[Jiang Yan was saved; kill Jiang Ning, and destiny can turn.]
Su Wanyuan took a deep breath.
She had even dared to murder Jiang Yan; killing one more didn’t seem like anything scary.
Half an hour later.
The operating room door was opened.
Jiang Ning jolted awake and, seeing the doctor come out, quickly stood up and asked, “Doctor, how is he? Is he still alive?”
The doctor breathed a sigh of relief lightly. “You got him here quite promptly, and you did emergency measures on the way, right? Otherwise, he might not have been saved. Now he needs to be observed in the intensive care unit for one night; if no accident, he can transfer to the general ward tomorrow and awaken.”
Only then did Jiang Ning relax, smiling sincerely, “Great, he didn’t die.”
Xie Jingyan chuckled lightly. “Jiang Ning, he survived entirely thanks to you; you’re really amazing.”
Only then did Jiang Ning feel her heart settle back in her belly.
Until the medical staff pushed Jiang Yan out.
His eyes were tightly closed, but his chest was already visibly rising and falling, and the expression on his face was no longer the frightening pallor but tinged with a bit of rosiness.
The youth in the book who died at seventeen, starting today, had his future rewritten, with a smooth path ahead.
Jiang Ning went to the intensive care unit entrance to watch for a while, planning to notify them when Father Jiang returned tomorrow to come to the hospital.
She couldn’t go in now either, and staying here would just be a waste of time.
She stretched lazily, her expression visibly cheerful, and waved at Xie Jingyan. “Let’s go; I’ll take you back.”
“Oh, right, I still need to go to the scenic area to drive my car back. Together?”
Xie Jingyan followed behind her. “Mm.”
The two walked side by side.
After leaving the hospital, Jiang Ning realized the rain outside had stopped.
Even at two-thirty in the early morning, Jin Cheng was still brightly lit.
Jiang Ning called a car on her mobile phone, and the two stood by the roadside.
Xie Jingyan looked down at the small puddle on the floor.
He turned his head and asked, “Don’t you hate Jiang Yan a lot? Why did you still fight to the death to save him?”
Jiang Ning raised her eyebrow faintly. “What kind of talk is that? I’m not so bad as to want someone’s life just because I hate them. Besides, saving someone is very fulfilling. When Jiang Yan wakes up and knows it was me who saved him, I feel like I’ll be his lifelong faith.”
Her expression was smug, radiant and spirited, looking very energetic.
Xie Jingyan countered, “Is that so? You don’t look like someone who would desperately save someone you hate.”
Jiang Ning was stumped.
She couldn’t help but jab at him. “That’s because you have prejudice against me. Of course, I don’t expect you to change your view of me. After tonight, stay away from me.”
Xie Jingyan eyed her coldly. “I finally get what they mean by flipping faces faster than turning a book page. When you need me, you speak softly and say you’ll keep me company; when you don’t, you kick me away and tell me to get lost. You’re so blatantly double-standard; it’s hard not to have prejudice against you.”
Jiang Ning’s face flushed red.
Hm?
Is that how it is?
It seemed a bit immoral.
Her phrase “stay away from me” was almost becoming her catchphrase for dealing with Xie Jingyan.
Luckily, the ride-hailing car arrived then. Jiang Ning didn’t want to bicker with him and hurriedly got in. “Let’s go quickly; I can go home early to sleep. Good thing there’s no class tomorrow.”
Only then did Xie Jingyan sit beside Jiang Ning with a straight face and close the car door.
The driver in the front glanced at them through the rearview mirror, his voice hoarse. “Where to?”
Jiang Ning looked up and said casually, “Phoenix Mountain Scenic Area main gate.”
The driver acknowledged. “Got it.”
Jiang Ning couldn’t help but glance at the driver through the rearview mirror.
He was dressed very thickly, wearing a mask, revealing only a pair of weathered eyes.
Estimated age around forty, wearing a black baseball cap, and using his mobile phone to set the location to Phoenix Mountain.
She found it a bit strange; she had booked the car on her mobile phone, so the driver who took her order should know the destination. Why ask again?
The next second, the driver spoke. “Passenger, what’s your phone’s last four digits? I’ll input them.”
Jiang Ning: “4523.”
The voice broadcast announced picking up the passenger, and the car started.
Jiang Ning felt she had overthought it.
Fifteen minutes later, Jiang Ning arrived beside her car.
The two police who had been there on the way were gone.
It was too dark at night; they hadn’t found anything and would have to come again tomorrow daytime.
Jiang Ning drove Xie Jingyan to the entrance of the old residential building.
Xie Jingyan got out, walked to the entrance, turned his head to look at her. “Want to come up and sit?”
Jiang Ning had a face full of black lines; she already had a psychological shadow about Xie Jingyan’s home, okay.
She quickly refused. “No need; I’m going home. I still need to go to the hospital tomorrow to see Jiang Yan.”
Xie Jingyan shrugged, his tone unexpectedly tinged with a hint of regret. “Alright then, take care.”
Jiang Ning: “…”
She floored the accelerator and drove away quickly.
Xie Jingyan watched Jiang Ning’s car disappear from sight. Just as he was about to enter the main gate, his peripheral vision caught a flash of crimson at the alley entrance corner, particularly eye-catching.
Someone was smoking there.
