209: Chapter 209 No Feeling Left 209: Chapter 209 No Feeling Left Su He walked over and sat on the sofa opposite her.
She watched her with a look of enjoying the drama unfolding.
Jing Xuan frowned when she heard Lu Zhiyang’s voice.
To her, Lu Zhiyang was like a haunting ghost, omnipresent.
And in facing him, she had a rebellious nature, happy to annoy him whenever she could.
She spoke fearlessly, lifting her head and said bluntly, “Rest assured, I’d seek anyone else but you!”
The dark pupils under Lu Zhiyang’s glasses narrowed slightly.
While Su He was waiting to enjoy the drama, Lu Zhiyang tugged at his mouth and said arrogantly, “Are you sure you’re carrying my child, that anyone would dare touch you?”
He indeed had the capital to be wild.
Jing Xuan: “…”
“Do you think you can cover the sky with one hand?
They may fear you, I certainly do not!”
Lu Zhiyang was neither annoyed nor did he refute her, taking a seat next to her, skillfully opening a box containing bright red cherries.
Jing Xuan had recently developed a particular fondness for this fruit.
So, when she saw the cherries, she unhesitatingly reached out to grab some.
But before she could touch them, a man’s hand intercepted hers.
She looked up at him, clearly questioning him with her gaze, “What is this supposed to mean?”
Lu Zhiyang spoke gently, “Your hands just touched the phone, they’re dirty, wash them first.”
Jing Xuan wasn’t that fastidious, having only touched it briefly, she retorted unhappily, “It’s not poisonous, I’m not scared for myself, what are you worried for?”
Lu Zhiyang said, “I’m worried about our little girl.”
Jing Xuan: “…”
Little girl, little girl, this man’s conversation is all about his little girl.
Now that nothing is certain, how does he know it’s a daughter?
“Either go wash your hands, or I’ll feed you, choose one.”
Subsequently, Jing Xuan huffed and still got up to wash her hands.
Su He sat there like an invisible person, quietly watching the interaction between the two, she realized that Xiaxia from their family had changed…
In the past, no one, including ex-boyfriend Lu Zhiyang, could threaten Jing Xuan.
But now, her ex-boyfriend had turned into her current husband, and he could keep her under his control entirely.
It seems, for Jing Xuan to get rid of Lu Zhiyang, it’d be tremendously tough unless Lu Zhiyang decided to let go himself.
But currently, that possibility seemed almost zero.
“President Lu, are you serious?”
Before Jing Xuan returned, she looked at Lu Zhiyang and asked.
Lu Zhiyang pushed his glasses up on the bridge of his nose, also looking at her, his lips parted slightly, “Six years ago, I missed once, this time I won’t let go!
To me, she is more important than my own life, she will always be my first choice.”
Su He pondered for a few seconds, her tone firm yet cold, “I hope you can live up to your words, if you let her down again, I won’t give you another chance to see her.”
Lu Zhiyang frowned.
Su He added another comment, “Without him, I can still do it, so please, President Lu, remember what you’ve just said.”
Her “him” naturally referred to Jiang Yan.
Lu Zhiyang did not get angry because of Su He’s threat, but simply said, “Don’t worry, you won’t get that opportunity.”
Su He pulled at her red lips, “Hope so.”
Jiang Yan had just made a phone call in the room, and having finished, he came out.
He naturally sat next to Su He, saying, “I’ve asked someone to bring breakfast up, let’s eat before we go out.”
Su He had no objections, casually responding with an “Oh.”
“President Jiang, why bother with breakfast, just go straight to lunch,” Jing Xuan came out after washing her hands.
“…”
After filling their stomachs, Su He and Jing Xuan went to the leisure area of the Sky Garden on top of the hotel.
Jiang Yan and Lu Zhiyang seemed to have matters to discuss, so they didn’t stay there.
The two women sat on the edge, from where one could see half of X country’s city scene.
The temperature today was quite low, but it was noon, sitting under the sun enveloped in golden light, it felt warm and comforting.
Su He raised her hand to smooth her hair behind her ears, looking at Jing Xuan, she asked, “You haven’t said, how did you come to X country, who is managing the Jing Group?”
Jing Xuan said, “Actually, I came to find you, but who would have thought, on the plane, I’d encounter Mr.
Lu.
Then he said he was here to look for your husband, it happened that I was coming to find you, so we came together.”
“I temporarily handed over the company to Uncle Rong, the Jing Group won’t go bankrupt without me for a day.
And I left Lu Fei in the country, only brought Song Shi with me.”
Having said that, she leaned on the table, sighing with frustration, “Originally, I thought I could avoid Mr.
Lu, but unexpectedly, I still encountered him, I’m really unlucky.”
Su He chuckled, “You think too much.”
Hearing this, Jing Xuan rested her chin on her arms, looked up at her and asked, “What do you mean?”
Su He offered her a piece of advice, “What’s meant to be, will be, enjoy the present.”
Jing Xuan rolled her eyes and frowned, saying, “How do I enjoy it?
I can’t enjoy it at all.”
“As long as Lu Zhiyang is around, I feel all uncomfortable and out of sorts, how do you expect me to enjoy?”
Su He looked at her intently, “Xiaxia, I think you’ve gotten used to him being around.”
As soon as she finished talking, Jing Xuan immediately countered, “Impossible, absolutely impossible, how could I possibly get used to him!”
Seeing her overreact, Su He smirked silently, watching her.
“Xiaxia, you’re being a bit too dramatic.”
“I’m not.” Jing Xuan’s eyes slightly avoiding.
Su He shook her head, smiling, “Xiaxia, don’t forget, I’ve also studied psychology.”
Jing Xuan pursed her lips, falling silent.
“Actually, your heart is beginning to relax, it’s just that you don’t want to admit it, so you continue to resent his presence.
The fact that he can influence your mood precisely shows that he’s in your heart.”
Su He had only got halfway through when seeing her about to counter, she immediately stretched out her hand, cutting her off.
“Stop, let me finish first, if after I’m done you still think it’s wrong, then you can argue.
It’s not too late.”
Jing Xuan pouted innocently, blinked her eyes, the words she wanted to say stuck in her throat.
“Xiaxia, you’re just avoiding now because you’re afraid of repeating what happened six years ago.
No matter how good he is to you now, you can’t get over the hurdle in your heart.
Your heart already has a place for him, you won’t admit it because you’re wavering between trust and distrust, just as I said, you’re avoiding, you’re anxious.
Xiaxia, I want to see you happy, but the prerequisite is you have to be cheerful, if you truly can’t accept him again, I support you.
But I also don’t hope, that one day you will regret it, so you need to directly face your own heart, make a decision, and not let these matters disturb your peace no matter your decision, I will support it.”
Jing Xuan listened and her eyes started to redden, “Baobao, I…”
Seeing her tears about to spill over, Su He panicked for a moment, “Don’t cry, hold it back.”
She was most afraid of Jing Xuan crying; once she started, it was like a faucet that couldn’t be turned off, tears just pouring down endlessly and irreversibly.
She was genuinely afraid that Jing Xuan might cry her eyes out…
“Be good, don’t cry.
You still have a baby in your belly.
You don’t want your baby to be a crybaby after being born, right?”
Persuaded by her words, Jing Xuan truly held back her tears.
She sniffled, struggling to speak: “But I feel so moved, I want to cry…”
Su He said, “Being moved doesn’t necessarily mean you have to cry; you can smile too.”
She pulled out a tissue from the table beside her, gently wiping away the tears that hadn’t yet fallen from the corners of Jing Xuan’s eyes.
Then, she poured a cup of water for her, “Here, drink some water and take it easy.”
Jing Xuan obediently took the cup and drank several gulps; she was indeed a bit thirsty.
After drinking, she felt better.
She wasn’t someone who cried easily, but once she did, it was overwhelming, her tears flowing like they cost nothing.
Jing Xuan blinked several times, her curled eyelashes fluttering, “Baobao, I feel like I’ve been a bit abnormal lately.
There were several times I felt so wronged and wanted to cry.
I wasn’t like this before.
Am I sick?”
Su He reached out and touched her head, saying, “No, it’s because you are pregnant.
During pregnancy, levels of estrogen and progesterone are very high, and pregnant women become more sensitive, particularly emotionally.
So, if you have anything on your mind, don’t keep it to yourself, always talk to me.
Just keep a good mood, eat well, drink well.
Like I’ve been telling you, don’t overthink, just live in the moment.”
Although Jing Xuan was generally cheerful and lively, such personalities could also easily get trapped by something in a corner.
Moreover, during pregnancy, women are at their weakest and most sensitive; if their emotions aren’t well cared for, they could easily slip into depression, which isn’t good.
“Xiaxia, everything will be ok with me here.”
Su He’s words were like an infinite source of strength, making her feel secure in whatever she did without worries.
…
The two sat in the Sky Garden for nearly two hours until Jing Xuan got hungry; then, Su He took her to eat.
Jiang Yan and Lu Zhiyang seemed to still be discussing business, so Su He did not disturb them.
She sent a message and then left the hotel with Jing Xuan, Lan Yan, and Fei Xu.
Jing Xuan wanted to eat hot pot, so Su He found a nearby chain hot pot restaurant.
It was crowded at that time, but there were still some seats available.
After they sat down, only Fei Xu was still standing, guarding by the side.
“Fei Xu, what are you doing?” Jing Xuan called out to her.
Fei Xu turned towards her and began, “Miss Jing, I…”
Before Fei Xu could finish, Jing Xuan interrupted her, “Alright, hurry up and sit down.
Join us to eat.
You look so striking standing there; it’s even more eye-catching.”
Fei Xu appeared pleasantly surprised and also a bit uneasy.
In her memory, subordinates weren’t supposed to dine at the same table with their masters.
Then Su He also spoke up, “Fei Xu, I didn’t bring you out to stand around here.
Hurry up and sit down.
You do indeed attract a lot of attention, and I don’t want to be gawked at like a monkey.”
Since Su He had spoken, Fei Xu had no choice but to sit down.
She was really not used to this.
Lan Yan sat beside her, consoling her, “Ms.
Xu, you need to get used to it.
When you’re dining out with the boss, you don’t need to stand and starve.
The boss isn’t that particular.
Although you’re here as a personal bodyguard, you’re one of us.”
“Unless their Master is around,” Lan Yan added quickly: “Because their Master is too intimidating.
Dining at the same table as him is worse than not eating at all.”
Fei Xu: “…”
Honestly, if their Master were here, even if Young Madam lent her a thousand guts, she wouldn’t have the courage to sit down and dine with Master.
Lan Yan spoke these words without hiding them from Su He; the others naturally heard.
Jing Xuan laughed softly, and then added, “Lan Yan isn’t wrong; dining with President Jiang can turn even the most exquisite delicacies into ice pops.”
“Of course, there are exceptions, like your Young Madam.” Jing Xuan looked towards Fei Xu and raised her eyebrows, “But dining with the two of them might not surpass ice pops, but it’s definitely an opportunity to witness a lot of affection.”
…
Su He wasn’t paying attention to their conversation; she was busy choosing dishes.
At that moment, she suddenly missed the feeling of dining with Jiang Yan.
Because when she was with him, she didn’t have to pick what to order; she just needed to eat.
But now, these three kept saying, “I’m not picky,” “I’m okay with anything,” “I’ll follow Young Madam,” summarizing to just: “Anything.”
…
After they finished eating and were about to leave, Lan Yan accompanied Jing Xuan to the restroom.
But within a few minutes, Lan Yan’s phone rang.
Su He frowned upon seeing the caller ID, an ominous premonition creeping up.
Indeed, as soon as she answered, Lan Yan’s urgent voice came through: “Boss, something bad has happened.
Miss Jing was pushed in the restroom and fell down, there’s blood.”
“I’m on my way there.”
After hanging up, Su He looked grimly at Fei Xu and said in a low voice, “Get the car to the entrance.”
Immediately, she got up and ran towards the direction of the restroom.
Fei Xu also didn’t delay and left at once.
Although she didn’t know what happened, seeing the Young Madam’s expression, she knew it wasn’t good.
Two minutes later.
A black sedan recklessly sped through the streets, running through several red lights, with the traffic police’s cars futilely shouting in pursuit, unable to catch up…
In the car, Jing Xuan clutched Su He’s hand, terrified, struggling to speak, yet not knowing what to say.
“Baobao, I can’t feel my lower body, am I going to be paralyzed, and the baby, he…”
Her voice trembled with these words.
Su He and the others were shocked by her statement.
No feeling?
“Xiaxia, relax.
The loss of sensation might be because you hit your tailbone nerve when you fell.
The baby will be fine, I’ve just checked your pulse, the baby is still there.”
She had just examined her and thought she might have injured her tailbone.
Fortunately, the bleeding wasn’t severe.
But it was still necessary to go to the hospital for a check-up immediately.
Jing Xuan leaned into Su He’s arms, her tears coming uncontrollably, “Wuu, Baobao, I’m scared…”
