"Shun Nian!" Ye Yan exclaimed worriedly, and hugged her lovingly before her knees went weak. She was soft in his arms, having retreated from the coldness and strength she had just faced in front of Xiang Muyang, so weak and vulnerable.
Ye Yan only felt that she was as light as a wisp of smoke, as if she would disappear at any time.
She had obviously been abused, and her face was severely swollen under her long, messy hair. There are still bruises and bruises on my neck...
Ye Yan's eyes were scarlet, and the hands holding her were trembling. He needed a lot of restraint to not rush out and kill Xiang Muyang now.
"I... I'll take you to the hospital..." Ye Yan spent a lot of effort to find his voice. The words he spoke were a little trembling, and he broke off once before he could finish them. The pressure in his chest was so tight that he could hardly breathe.
He couldn't imagine what the consequences would be if he were one step later. If it had been one minute later, Shu Nian might have been ruined by that scumbag by now!
Just thinking about it gives me lingering fear!
"Don't go to the hospital..." Shu Nian's hand held his sleeve tightly. There was a thin layer of mist in her eyes, but she still insisted, "I don't want to go to the hospital..."
There were so many colleagues in the hospital, and she didn't want her embarrassment and embarrassment to be known to anyone around her. It is definitely not a happy thing to have the wound opened and be gossiped about and visited by others.
"Okay, I listen to you. If you say you don't want to go to the hospital, we won't go..." It was rare for Ye Yan to be so obedient to a woman. He has never felt so distressed. Shaking his hands, he untied the tie on her wrist. The movements were so careful, for fear of hurting her if it was a little heavier.
The skin under the tie is also a circle of strangulation marks, which is shocking.
Shu Nian's eyelashes trembled, and a layer of moisture appeared in his eyes unconsciously. She turned her face away and buried it in Ye Yan's chest, as if trying to hide her tears.
Ye Yan ran his long fingers through her hair, hugged the back of her head hard, pressed it on his chest, and murmured regretfully: "I'm sorry, I was a little late..."
It was his first time to apologize to someone so sincerely.
It was also the first time that I hated myself like this.
If he had known about her pregnancy earlier, he would not have let her suffer so many rumors alone, nor would he have let her ruin her dream. If he had met her earlier, he would never have allowed her to marry such a scumbag!
Tonight, if he had been so early, she would not have to bear such humiliation...
He is always one step late...
However, from now on, from this moment onwards... it will never be any later!
When Shu Nian heard the words 'I'm sorry', he couldn't help it anymore and buried his head in his chest, crying bitterly. Her fingers gripped his shirt so tightly that the bones and joints turned white.
The sad and suppressed cries resounded throughout the house, making Ye Yan feel like his heart was being cut by a knife.
I don't know how long I cried, but by the end of it, Shu Nian was completely tired, and even sobbing was weak.
Ye Yan picked her up from the ground and put her on the bed. She looked at him pleadingly, "Can I borrow your bathroom?"
Even after all this time, his voice was still light and weak.
Ye Yan nodded, "I'll carry you into the bathroom."
Shu Nian had no strength at all, so he didn't struggle and just let Yeyan carry him into the bathtub. Ye Yan turned around and went out, then knocked on the bathroom door and whispered: "The clothes and towels are left at the door. You can come out and get them later. I'll wait for you outside."
"… good."
———
When Shu Nian came out of the shower, there was a set of pajamas at the door. She took a look and saw that it was brand new, men's style, and must have belonged to Ye Yan himself.
She dried herself off, put on her clothes, and looked at the time. It was almost time to go to work in the afternoon. Right now, she looks like this and there's no way she can go to work.
However, now as a VIP, she is not qualified to ask for leave.
Shu Nian grabbed the phone and walked out of the room. Outside, Ye Yan was talking on the phone on the terrace. The sound insulation was very good, so I couldn't hear what he was saying, but I saw that his face was not very good-looking. He tilted his head, saw her, and hung up the phone without saying anything more.
"Why did you come out?"
Shu Nian pursed his lips, but his voice was still weak, "It's almost time to go to work."
She still felt embarrassed in front of Ye Yan. He had seen her in all her most embarrassed and embarrassing ways.
Ye Yan's eyebrows furrowed into the word "Chuan". One look at her face, which was still very red and swollen, made her feel very distressed, "Can you still go to work like this? I've already asked for leave for you. In the past few days, You don’t have to go.”
"You asked for leave for me?" She was surprised.
"Yes. The boss of your hospital is my uncle. It's not difficult to ask for a leave for you."
Shu Nian suddenly remembered something and glanced at Ye Yan, "So... I was suddenly transferred to the VIP side because of you?"
"You work hard enough and are qualified enough. I just mentioned it to Uncle Tang Liu once or twice. He appreciates young people who work hard." Ye Yan poured a glass of water for her, "So, this is all your own credit. You Don’t take it to heart.”
Shu Nian pulled his lips, took the water from him, and held it in his hand.
She naturally knew whether it was her own fault or Ye Yan's fault. With her qualifications, she would never have been admitted without Ye Yan's help.
She was just about to say "thank you" to Ye Yan when the doorbell rang suddenly.
"I'll open the door." Ye Yan glanced at her. Noticed that her body instinctively tensed up a lot. Obviously, Xiang Muyang's behavior just now left her with a shadow in her heart.
"Don't be afraid, he's my friend." Ye Yan soothed, walked to the entrance and opened the door.
There was a young woman standing at the door, holding a medicine box in her hand.
——
Fu Yunxi [Fu Yichen's twin's sister] applied medicine to Shu Nian's face and body before coming out of the room.
Ye Yan was waiting at the door of the room with a solemn expression. When he saw her coming out, he stood up straight and asked, "How is it?"
"Who did it, and why were they so cruel?" Fu Yunxi asked.
Ye Yan looked cold and did not answer. He only asked, "Is the injury serious?"
"In addition to the neck, there are also scars on the body. But fortunately, they are just external injuries. It will only take a few days to heal."
"How many days will it take for the scar to disappear?"
"It will take at least four or five days." Fu Yunxi handed the medicine to Ye Yan, "She has some injuries on her back, so remember to apply it. Three times a day, don't leave it behind."
"Um."
Fu Yunxi glanced at Ye Yan and lowered his voice, "I've never seen you nervous about a woman before. Is your girlfriend?"
"Okay, you go first! I'll call you if I need something later."
