Chapter 51: It Is Okay, I Can Carry You  

Women tended to be soft-hearted, and they would always be willing to protect weak animals voluntarily.

Sure enough, after Mu Qing finished his words, Shangguan Ning was startled.

Really? Was that so? Did Jing Yichen... care so much about her?

Then did she overreact?

She had no idea about Family Jing, but it could be seen clearly that a property of more than hundreds of billion yuan was something everyone would like to have a handful of.

In her family, a single Shangguan Rouxue had messed her up. She wondered how Jing Yichen had endured it all these days.

Shangguan Ning felt bewilderment, confusion and guilt.

Mu Qing retreated at the proper moment. He left the ward quietly and went to fix breakfast for the future Mrs. Jing.

Also, he was going to tell his grandpa that he needn’t marry the woman from Family Yang!

Mu Qing also wanted to marry a woman he loved, like this bastard Jing Yichen and then guard her for the rest of his life.

Shangguan Ning was in the hospital for the entire day. Although Mu Qing seemed quite busy, he was still taking proper care of her.

She was well aware that he did it because of Jing Yichen.

Her fever had gone down, so Mu Qing didn’t give her the infusion any more. He said that too much infusion would break her original immune system, and that her original physical condition had been good enough to recover on its own. It was better for her body this way.

Shangguan Ning said that she wanted to leave the hospital in the evening, but Mu Qing disapproved.

He put on the most pitiful expression and looked as if being on the verge of tears. “If Chen finds you gone when he returns, he will definitely tear down my hospital! Please have pity on my staff who have been taking care of you for the entire day. Please wait until he returns!”

Shangguan Ning had planned on leaving before Jing Yichen returned. But Mu Qing’s words made her feel guilty.

Mu Qing let out a sigh of relief in his heart, seeing that she had chosen to stay.

He had almost been hounded to death! It wasn’t an easy job for him. He,who was an adult man, to conceal his feelings and to act pitifully!

In the evening, Jing Yichen showed up at the door of the ward.

He walked into the ward slowly, stretched out his hand to feel her forehead and then put it down.

He looked fatigued with the journey, and the suit and the shirt on him were still the same as yesterday. It was so incredible that such a thing would happen to him.

He did not have the habit of wearing the same unwashed clothes on the second day.

His eyes, which should have been bright and sharp, were red. He looked pale and seemed extremely tired.

Even an ironman would collapse of fatigue, without any rest, for two days in a row.

Shangguan Ning’s heart ached.

Her internal displeasure was gone at the sight of him, and she was feeling more and more guilty.

Jing Yichen took off his overcoat and draped it over her. Then he picked her up as Shangguan Ning made a low sound.

“Let’s go home, Ning. Okay?”

His voice was nice as usual, except that a touch of hoarseness was blended in it. The hole at the bottom of Shangguan Ning’s heart kept expanding.

Seeing his profound eyes, Shangguan Ning relished him calling her “Ning” and nodded lightly. “Okay.”

The shadow in Jing Yichen’s heart was gone by this single word which she uttered. He was relieved.

He had no idea why Shangguan Ning was no longer angry with him and became so obedient just after one day’s separation.

He had been worried on the way here that she would not want to talk with him, or that she would ask him not to touch her and tell him that she hated him!

Yet none of these things happened. She was leaning in his arms quietly and gently, just like a tamed cat.

He held her tightly in his arms and strode out of the ward.

Family Mu’s Hospital was a private hospital, which was professionally administered. The nurses were fascinated by Jing Yichen yet they wouldn’t scream in obsession like other people. Every time he came to the hospital, the nurses would gather around him. But because of the regulations of the hospital and his coldness, no one dared to get too close to him.At this moment, all the nurses were staring at Shangguan Ning in his arms with jealousy. Each one of them wished fervently that it was she who was in his arms.

This mountain-cold man who was almost never approachable, was now often seen carrying that woman into and out of the hospital in the past few days.

This woman was whom the nurses were crazily jealous of. Each one of them craned her neck to glance at her appearance. However, no one other than the nurse-in-chief was allowed in the advanced ward where Shangguan Ning had stayed.

With Shangguan Ning in his arms, Jing Yichen walked along the corridors of the hospital.

She felt a bit shy under the stares of those people. Besides, Jing Yichen was already very tired, and she didn’t want to burden him further.

“Let me down, I can walk by myself.”

Jing Yichen looked at the woman in his arms, and a tiny smile hovered over his face. “Concerned about me now? It is okay, I can carry you. If one day when I get too old to carry you, I will take your hands and walk with you.”

Although it was not a love pledge of eternal loyalty, yet they were the most touching love words Shangguan Ning had ever heard.

Her quiet heart throbbed like never before and she couldn’t help but feel close to him involuntarily.

Jing Yichen carried her into the car. Tiger started the engine and drove on, seeing them two well seated.

The car advanced at a fast speed. The scenes outside flew backwards very quickly, just like Shangguan Ning’s unendurable past that was disappearing little by little.

Tomorrow would be better, wouldn’t it?

She wasn’t used to being intimate with him earlier, but for some reason, she wasn’t rejecting his arms today. Instead, she was even feeling slightly happy.

His shoulders were very broad, making her feel unusually assured. The panic from the day before was gone as well.

Or maybe, she finally understood that she was just too scared to be lied to once again. She was worried that the person whom she had leaned on this time, would break her heart, as well.

When they reached Landscape Compound, Shangguan Ning refused to be carried by Jing Yichen any more. Jing Yichen decided to let her walk on her own.

He needn’t be worried. There was no hurry. He had a lifetime to carry her around.

After Tiger drove them there, he got in another inconspicuous car of Jing Yichen’s and disappeared in the darkness. Shangguan Ning and Jing Yichen were left alone in the elevator.

Shangguan Ning stretched out her hand to press the button of the sixth floor, but Jing Yichen pulled her into his arms.

“Why are you pressing the sixth floor button?” He sounded cold and dangerous. It looked as if he would gulf her down if the answer wasn’t satisfying.

Seeing his glittering eyes, Shangguan Ning almost lost her confidence. “I am going home.”

“My wife, your home is on the 27th floor. Don’t make a mistake in pressing the button!”

“I need to get my clothes from the sixth floor...”

“No need. Your husband has enough money. Just tell me what you want to wear and I will get them delivered to you tomorrow morning. As for your old clothes, just throw them all away.”

Shangguan Ning was completely speechless.

This man was too bossy to leave an escape path for anyone!

They reached the 27th floor quickly. Jing Yichen held on to her tightly and dragged her to the dining room as if fearing that the woman would run away at any time.

The dining table was already full of dishes that emitted appetizing fragrance, stimulating a person’s appetite.

Jing Yichen dragged Shangguan Ning to the washing basin at the side of the dining room and washed her hands in a careful, gentle way.
