When Ruan Xing woke up at night, the room was dark with heavy curtains drawn.
Just as she was about to get up, a hand wrapped around her waist and pulled her back.
The next second, she fell into the man's warm chest.
Zhou Cishen's low and hoarse voice sounded: "Aren't you going to sleep?"
"I have a headache from sleeping."
"The doctor said you are too tired, please sleep a little longer.
If you want to eat anything, I'll ask Lin Nan to bring it over."
Ruan Xingwan said: "I have no appetite."
Zhou Cishen said: "You have to eat even if you don't have an appetite. Do you still want to faint again?"
Ruan Xingwan was silent and said nothing.
Not long after, she felt the person behind her move slightly, the wall lamp was turned on, and the faint orange light spread silently.
When Zhou Cishen got up and got out of bed, Ruan Xingwan also sat up and said, "What time is it now?"
Zhou Cishen lowered his head and glanced at his watch: "It's half past one in the afternoon."
Ruan Xingwan rubbed his head: "Did I sleep for so long?"
"Soon, go back to sleep and I'll call you during dinner."
After finishing speaking, Zhou Cishen walked out of the room with long legs.
Ruan Xingwan really couldn't sleep. She lifted the quilt and got out of bed, only to find that she was wearing a men's shirt.
Ruan Xingwan: "..."
In the living room, Zhou Cishen was calling Lin Nan.
Ruan Xingwan passed by him, walked to the dining table, and poured a glass of water.
Zhou Cishen turned around, his eyes fell on her, and his eyebrows raised unconsciously.
When he brought her back from the hospital, Ruan Xingwan's body smelled of disinfectant, so he put his own clothes on for her.
On the phone, Lin Nan said: "Mr. Zhou, I have prepared Madam's clothes and will send them over now."
Zhou Cishen said: "No need."
Lin Nan: "?"
Zhou Cishen said slowly: "Send the food first, I'm hungry."
"I have prepared the clothes, and they can be taken with the meal..."
Halfway through the conversation, Lin Nan was keenly aware of the problem and immediately changed his tone: "Okay, I'll prepare lunch."
Zhou Cishen put away his phone with satisfaction. He walked to Ruan Xingwan and watched her finish drinking the water. He stretched out his fingers to gently wipe away the remaining water droplets on her lips. His long fingers stayed on the corners of her lips for a few seconds.
.
Ruan Xingwan looked up at him, as if looking at a pervert: "What are you doing?"
Zhou Ci raised his eyebrows, took the empty cup from her hand, and poured water into it: "It's nothing, do you still want to drink?"
"Drink enough."
Hearing this, Zhou Cishen put down the glass kettle and drank the remaining water.
Ruan Xingwan was too lazy to pay attention to him and went to find his own clothes.
Zhou Cishen followed her: "It has not been dried yet after washing. I have asked Lin Nan to prepare it and will send it over in a moment."
Ruan Xingwan turned around and found his mobile phone on the sofa. He charged it and waited to turn it on. After thinking about it, he looked at Zhou Cishen: "I have something to tell you."
Zhou Cishen sat next to her: "Huh?"
When the words came to his lips, Ruan Xingwan didn't know how to speak.
These things are so complicated that she still can't figure them out clearly.
After a while, Ruan Xingwan said: "My child... I stayed with Jiang Shanghan, they may have a way to cure him.
Jiang Shanghan said that what happened in Nancheng before was not his fault, and someone was framing it.
I...I don't know whether I should believe him or not, but the little guy has indeed improved under their treatment."
As she said that, she lowered her head and said in a muffled voice: "I have no other choice but to..."
Zhou Cishen held her in his arms, gently rubbed her head, and whispered: "I know that this is not your problem, you don't have to feel guilty."
"When did you know that?"
"last night."
After Jiang Shanghan came out of his private club, he received a call from Shen Zixi.
He also sent people to investigate and found that there was indeed a similar case in Jiangzhou two years ago, and that medical team was also in the hands of Jiang Shanghan.
When sending Ruan Xingwan to the hospital, he received the report and information on the nutritional needle found in Zhong Xian's room when it was destroyed two years ago.
All this shows that someone deliberately lured him to Jiangzhou and provoked a conflict between him and Jiang Shanghan.
Zhou Cishen said: "Besides this, did he say anything else?"
Ruan Xingwan was silent: "He said that these things are related to twenty years ago, but you have to investigate them yourself."
"Did he bully you?"
"No...but after all, can you please stop touching me?"
Zhou Cishen: "..."
The hand he placed on her thigh slowly withdrew it.
Ruan Xingwan came out of his arms and took a pillow and put it on his lap.
At this time, the doorbell rang, and it was Lin Nan who came.
Zhou Cishen walked to the door and opened it only a small crack. After taking the things in, he said, "Where are the clothes."
"clothing?"
Lin Nan looked confused. When he looked at Zhou Cishen with no emotion, he quickly reacted, "Ah... clothes, there are a lot of things to do. I haven't had time to prepare yet. Let's go now."
Zhou Cishen hummed: "Hurry up."
After closing the door, Zhou Cishen took the food box and placed it in front of Ruan Xingwan: "The clothes will wait for a while, let's eat first."
Ruan Xingwan originally had no appetite. After opening the edible box, the aroma of food came through and she felt her stomach growl twice.
She took the chopsticks from Zhou Cishen and bent down to get the food box.
On the opposite side, Zhou Cishen paused slightly in his hand and caught a glimpse of the beautiful scenery under the collar of his shirt.
Seeing that he stopped there without moving, Ruan Xingwan raised his head in confusion. After realizing where he was looking, he quickly sat up, picked up the pillow and threw it at it.
Zhou Cishen caught the pillow easily: "To be honest, I didn't mean to see it. Is it my fault?"
Ruan Xingwan said angrily: "Be a human being."
Zhou Cishen's lips curled up slightly, and he put the pillow aside: "Eat."
After dinner, it was already half past two in the afternoon.
Ruan Xingwan looked at Zhou Cishen: "What are your plans now."
Zhou Cishen met her gaze: "I have grown five kilograms."
Ruan Xingwan: "?"
Zhou Cishen said: "You have lost a lot of weight during this period. Let me help you gain five pounds first."
Ruan Xingwan: "..."
What's wrong with this guy?
Zhou Cishen continued: "Seven or eight pounds is fine, you can eat more."
Ruan Xingwan couldn't bear it anymore: "Shut up!"
A smile appeared in Zhou Ci's dark eyes: "The Jiang family's biannual family gathering will be held in a few days, and I will take you there then."
Hearing this, Ruan Xingwan frowned: "But can we go in for the family gathering?"
"How will you know if you don't try."
Zhou Cishen said calmly, "Since we want to investigate what happened twenty years ago, how can we find out if we don't go inside the Jiang family."
Ruan Xingwan said: "Then you won't go back to Nancheng?"
"You are all here, what should I do when I go back?"
What's more, since those people spent so much effort to lure him here, he wanted to see what was here.
