"Are you alright?" Di Ming Jue crouched down and helped Jiang Zi Yu up.
As the saying goes, you can't catch a wolf without sacrificing your child. The moment Jiang Zi Yu fell, she intentionally aggravated her wound.
The bandage was soaked in blood, seeping through her hospital gown. Di Ming Jue felt the warm liquid as he withdrew his hand from Jiang Zi Yu's back.
"Blood?" Di Ming Jue smelled the scent on his fingers.
Shen Lin reminded him from the side, "Mr. Di, Madam's wound has reopened."
Di Ming Jue frowned. He lifted his arm and held Jiang Zi Yu in a princess carry.
The crowd parted. Jiang Fei Fei, with her tall and slender figure, instantly shed her facade of strength. She looked powerlessly and fearfully at Di Ming Jue's retreating back, her fingernails nervously clutching the hem of her clothes.
"Why bother!" Mu Liang Chen stood quietly beside her.
Jiang Fei Fei glared at him fiercely, "It's none of your business!"
"Don't speak too soon. Don't be surprised when we meet next time," saying this, Mu Liang Chen turned and left.
In the vast garden, Jiang Fei Fei stood alone and isolated. Mu Liang Chen's parting words echoed in her mind. Where had she seen him before?
In the hospital room, Jiang Zi Yu, with her bandage changed, was confined to the hospital bed.
"Without my permission, you are not allowed to leave this bed even half a step from now on."
Jiang Zi Yu looked up at the unreasonable Di Ming Jue and grumbled reluctantly, "You don't even follow doctor's orders, but you're so good at lecturing others."
Her tiny voice buzzed like a mosquito. Di Ming Jue leaned closer to the edge of the bed, "Stay put. I don't want others to gossip behind my back, saying I'm inhumane and that I'm oppressing you, preventing your wound from healing." xxs壹贰
Jiang Zi Yu was displeased by this. She puffed out her chest in defiance, "I don't want to. I'm not useless."
She still had important things to do.
Di Ming Hao alone couldn't have orchestrated such a flawless kidnapping. The person behind it must have hated her, otherwise, why would they have extended their wicked hand to the child?
Who was it? She wanted to personally catch the 'evil mouse' hiding in the darkness.
Her resistance was futile. Starting in the afternoon, Jiang Zi Yu was confined to her room, only leaving her bed to use the restroom.
She ate and drank in bed. Di Ming Jue even delegated his company affairs to Shen Lin, while he watched over Jiang Zi Yu twenty-four hours a day.
Jiang Zi Yu wrapped herself in the quilt. She tossed and turned, deliberately making the bed creak. In the quiet hospital room, rhythmic sounds continuously reverberated above.
Fine, he had guts!
Jiang Zi Yu didn't know what Di Ming Jue was thinking. Seeing that her fussing yielded no response, she pushed the quilt aside with her arms.
With a thud, her heels hit the bed board with force. She sat up angrily.
Di Ming Jue watched her every move.
"What exactly do you want!" Jiang Zi Yu questioned him indignantly.
"Watching you," Di Ming Jue replied lazily.
Rolling her eyes to the top of her head, Jiang Zi Yu muttered speechlessly, "Boring!"
Seeing that he had no intention of relenting, she pulled the quilt and huffily lay back down.
She cursed Di Ming Jue repeatedly in her mind. Besides her initial dissatisfaction, several more grievances were added. Her satisfaction level plummeted from fifty to zero.
The door to the hospital room was knocked, breaking the sudden chill in the room.
Shen Lin stood at the doorway with documents, his steps arrested by the icy atmosphere within.
"What is it?"
"Mr. Di, it's about the Jiang Corporation's documents."
Jiang Zi Yu, under the quilt, perked up her ears, awaiting Shen Lin's next words.
Di Ming Jue seemed to be able to see Jiang Zi Yu's expression. He moved away from the bedside and walked out of the room with Shen Lin.
"Heh, a cunning man!" Jiang Zi Yu emerged from the quilt, her face flushed red as she shook her fist at the door.
In the corridor, Di Ming Jue quietly listened to Shen Lin's narration.
