Ximen Longting sat there with his head bowed. He had said before that any trivial matter concerning Jing Jiaren was a major matter to him.
Without Leng Lintian, without those intervening third parties, his world is peaceful.
As soon as Leng Lintian appeared, his world became violent... and he couldn't control it himself.
"I just said something harsh, I apologize." Jing Jiaren said with a strong voice, "Let's each take a step back and don't care about it this time?"
Ximen Longting sneered: "So reluctantly, you don't feel at all that you did something wrong."
"Then what else do you want? As long as you feel unhappy, you can run over and beat Leng Lintian? You can stab him? Is this something that you think you can encourage and praise?" Jing Jiaren was completely shocked.
A tone of educating his son.
"You defend him, I don't want to argue with you."
"Where did I protect him!?"
Ximen Longting suddenly held Jing Jiaren's hand and wiped the blood on her ring with his thumb: "Where were you when I was injured and lying here waiting for you?"
"..."
"You were in another man's room, waiting for him."
Jing Jiaren's heart sank and she whispered, "What are you talking about?"
"Where else would the blood come from?"
"This bloodstain...is yours."
Ximen Longting sneered: "My blood has solidified and dried! Are you sure this is mine?"
The blood on Jing Jiaren's ring was obviously stained before it solidified, and it cannot be wiped off now.
Ximen Longting wiped it with force in an eyesore. It was the wedding ring he gave her, but it was stained with Leng Lintian's blood.
Whenever he thinks of Jing Jiaren guarding Leng Lintian, he becomes even more angry and rubs his thumbs hard!
"Ximen Longting..."
"What else can you explain? You have been keeping him by his side until now...what about me? Who will keep me safe? Whose wife are you!"
"I looked for you everywhere, but couldn't find you. The blood stains on the ground were wiped away by the attendants... We all thought you had left the hall, and Wilson sent someone to look for you outside the hall. Who knew you would sleep in my room?
With?"
"Lie to me again."
"Where did I lie to you? I have been looking for you for more than half an hour. You have been everywhere in the hall and my legs are about to break. Is it a lie that I am so nervous about you?" Jing Jiaren slowed down her tone and combed her hair with one hand.
His hair, "If I had known you were in the room, I would have come back long ago."
"You will only lie to me..."
"Ximen Longting, I didn't lie to you. For so many years, I have always protected you at critical moments. Have you forgotten? How could I be willing to leave you?" Jing Jiaren's eyes were a little red, "You didn't tell me when you came back.
Just tell the attendant and I will know."
Ximen Longting buried his head and stubbornly wiped the ring on Jing Jiaren's hand.
The blood stains spread all over the ring holder around the diamond and got embedded in the gaps.
Jing Jiaren took out her hand, took off the ring and said, "If you can't wipe it off, I'll wash it."
Ximen Longting suddenly grabbed the ring and threw it out with all his strength.
"Ximen Longting!"
"What's the point of keeping a dirty ring?" Ximen Longting said tiredly, "Dirty, very dirty!"
Stained with Leng Lintian's blood, it's extremely dirty!
This proves that Jing Jiaren has touched Ximen Longting's hands and also touched Leng Lintian, otherwise how could he have gotten blood on them?
Thinking of Jing Jiaren also helping Leng Lintian unbutton, scrub, apply medicine, and sit beside the bed to guard...
