Zhao Ziru's situation seemed calm on the surface, but in fact it was turbulent. Putting aside her engagement with Li Long, it was a troublesome matter. Based on Long Xiangtian's understanding of Zhao Ziru, I'm afraid she would definitely not give in.
Another guess is that Li Long tried every means to get Zhao Ziru, but it was not just for love. Long Xiangtian had a hunch that it was more or less related to the jade pendant.
Yan Bingbing has been lurking beside her. If she fails to succeed, the Blood Eagles will most likely send out all their forces to stop her. The Yan family is already a headache enough, and adding the Blood Eagles to the mix is hard to imagine.
Therefore, Long Xiangtian was worried about Zhao Ziru. Only by staying by her side could he protect her safety at all times. Although Shen Han's skills were strong enough, he was a member of the Yan family after all, so it was still a cause for concern.
Yunniang looked at Long Xiangtian quietly, with a hint of resentment in her eyes, and suddenly smiled: "Go ahead, be careful."
Long Xiangtian glanced at her, and the two of them just stared at each other quietly, no one spoke, and the atmosphere suddenly became a little heavy. Long Xiangtian chuckled helplessly and turned to leave the room.
Haizhou Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital has independent wards and independent facilities, and naturally has independent doctors and nursing staff. Zhao Ziru was lying on the bed, with her eyes slightly closed, not knowing whether she was asleep or in deep thought.
Shen Han sat by the window, and opposite him sat Li Long. Upon learning that Zhao Ziru was unwell, he rushed over immediately. Facing Zhao Ziru who looked haggard, Li Long said with some distress: "Ziru, you should eat a little more. You can't take it if you keep going like this."
Zhao Ziru didn't even open her eyes, she just fluttered her eyelashes, which made Li Long feel very disappointed. He sighed deeply and continued, "I know you still blame me for killing Long Xiangtian, but he was just a bodyguard, and I'm about to become your fiancé. Are you going to treat me like this for an outsider?"
Zhao Ziru still didn't react at all. In her heart, Long Xiangtian's status was far higher than Li Long. Although she had only been with Long Xiangtian for half a month, she already regarded him as a friend.
It can be said that he is a benefactor.
The last time she was kidnapped by Mr. Zhang San, although Zhao Ziru's brain was temporarily disabled due to her emotional excitement, she was able to clearly understand that it must be Long Xiangtian who saved her.
In addition, Long Xiangtian is also Li Long's friend, which means she is her friend.
The death of Long Xiangtian was actually a blow to her. Not only did she lose a friend, but she also indirectly destroyed her chance to contact Li Long. Therefore, Zhao Ziru could be said to hate Li Long extremely and even had unspeakable hatred for him.
The Zhao family and the Yan family had been friends for generations, and she had no control over this marriage. Putting aside the blood of the Zhao family, even Zhao Xuan's kindness in raising her could not make her act recklessly.
Li Long was the opportunity for her to put aside all her worries, but half a month had passed and Li Long still hadn't shown up. Zhao Ziru was not only disappointed, she could even be said to be heartbroken. Thinking of Long Xiangtian's words, Zhao Ziru really didn't know whether she should still hold on to any illusions.
Zhao Ziru even thought that if Li Long had not shown up on the day of the engagement, she would commit suicide on the spot and repay the Zhao family's kindness with her death. As a child of the Zhao family, she seemed to have no other choice.
"Ziru, can you please say something?" Li Long was a little anxious. Zhao Ziru had never treated him like this before. Li Long really did not expect this to happen.
Zhao Ziru slowly opened her eyes, glanced at Li Long, and said, "I want to sleep for a while."
Li Long's joy turned into disappointment again. Seeing Zhao Ziru close her eyes again, he felt very embarrassed to stay and could only leave the ward silently.
Shen Han was still sitting there calmly. His mission was to protect Zhao Ziru. He seemed to never care about anything else. At this time, the doctor came in and gave Zhao Ziru some routine examinations before saying, "Miss Zhao, there's nothing wrong with your body. It's just caused by overwork. Just rest for a while."
Zhao Ziru nodded gently. After the doctor left, she turned over and sat up from the bed. She glanced at Shen Han and said lightly, "You don't have to stay here."
Shen Han looked up and smiled: "This is my duty."
Zhao Ziru didn't say anything else, but glanced at the food on the table, got out of bed and walked over, picked it up and wanted to eat but had no appetite, sighed softly and put it down, walked over and sat on the bed, looked at Shen Han, and asked: "Why do you work as a bodyguard?"
Shen Han frowned, because he was not a bodyguard himself, he was here to protect Zhao Ziru on Li Long's orders, so he couldn't answer this question and just smiled.
Zhao Ziru chuckled and continued, "Men of your age are either working hard or getting married and having children. How much does your old man pay you for your job?"
Shen Han glanced at Zhao Ziru lightly and lowered his head again. He couldn't answer these questions because they did not belong to his life.
Zhao Ziru didn't say anything else, she just wanted to find someone to talk to, and Shen Han in front of her was obviously not a suspicious person to chat with.
"You... don't like Young Master Yan?" Shen Han suddenly asked.
Zhao Ziru was stunned for a moment. Shen Han had been following him for so many days and he rarely spoke. It was not easy for him to take the initiative to say something other than his duties. So Zhao Ziru was very surprised and showed a rare look of surprise on her face. She said, "Does it matter whether you like it or not?"
Shen Han stared at Zhao Ziru's eyes for a few seconds before looking away. He was silent for a while and said, "Actually... Actually..."
"In fact, Master Yan is not bad, right?" Zhao Ziru said the rest for Shen Han. She stared at Shen Han and saw that he didn't say anything, which meant she agreed. Then she sneered and said, "Whether he is good or not has nothing to do with me."
"But you are going to get engaged..." When Shen Han said this, he felt that it was redundant. These were not his business. His duty was to protect Zhao Ziru and report her actions every three days. He should not care about or ask about other matters.
Zhao Ziru smiled. No one could have predicted the outcome of this marriage. But Zhao Ziru was different. She was the person involved, and the outcome was all in her mind.
"I seem to have asked too many questions." Shen Han smiled self-deprecatingly. He was very clear about his identity. He was just a dog raised by the Yan family. He could only obey orders and do things all his life. He had no self and no life to speak of.
In fact, he envied Du Ruo very much, at least he had the courage, but Shen Han didn't. After leaving the Yan family, he didn't know where to go, or even had nowhere to go.
Because the Yan family is his home, he grew up here.
Zhao Ziru saw a trace of sadness in Shen Han's eyes, sighed helplessly, then lay down on the bed, and suddenly said: "I want to be discharged from the hospital, please help me with the formalities."
