Chapter 429: Twins, The Truth of That Year! (15)
She hailed a taxi by the roadside and gave the driver the address of a hotel.
When the car arrived at the hotel, Leng Jian was already standing at the entrance waiting for her.
He was dressed in a black hoodie, paired with dark-colored jeans.
A baseball cap concealed his eyes, revealing only his softly contoured side face and jawline.
He leaned casually against the wall, with one hand in the pocket of his jeans, playing with his phone in the other.
The moment the taxi stopped in front of the hotel, he seemed to sense something, shifted his gaze from the phone screen, and looked towards the arriving taxi.
Seeing Ji Weitian alight from the car, his lips gently curled up into a tender smile, put his phone into his pocket, and stepped forward.
"Leng Jian, where is he?"
Ji Weitian jogged all the way to him, panting as she asked.
Leng Jian’s jaw tilted up slightly, not in a hurry to answer her question, but instead took out a tissue from his pocket and handed it to her, suggesting she wipe the sweat off her face first.
Seeing Ji Weitian take the tissue from his hand, he was satisfied and opened his lips.
"He’s already been brought here for you, waiting upstairs. There’s no need to rush, he won’t escape."
"..." Ji Weitian’s hand paused as she wiped her forehead, clenched the tissue tightly, and a complex emotion flashed in her eyes.
She trusted Leng Jian if he said it was fine, then it would definitely be fine.
The person was in his hands; nothing would go wrong.
She could afford to slow down, but she couldn’t wait another minute.
The events from four years ago pressed heavily on her heart.
She couldn’t rest well until she had clarity.
Every time she lay down and closed her eyes, the scenes from the hospital years ago would haunt her... like shadows.
Leng Jian noticed the tension in her body and stretched out his hand to lightly wrap around her shoulders, giving her a hug.
As Ji Weitian stood frozen, about to look up at him, he murmured.
"You don’t need to hide anything in front of me. When we go upstairs, if you feel uncomfortable, you don’t have to say anything. I’ll ask the questions for you. Just listen."
The hotel room booked by Leng Jian was on the thirtieth floor, a very high level.
During the elevator ride from the first floor to their destination, Ji Weitian’s emotions had somewhat eased.
She thought she had enough courage to face everything that had happened.
But when the door to the room opened and she looked up to see two people standing inside, the familiar faces triggered a deluge of buried memories like a violent storm.
She froze momentarily.
"Cindy, if you..."
"I’m fine," Ji Weitian interrupted Leng Jian’s concerns, came to her senses, and stepped inside.
The two people who had been waiting in the room stood up in unison when they saw Leng Jian bring Ji Weitian in, both turned their gaze towards her.
Hesitating whether to greet her or not.
They were too ashamed to face Ji Weitian...
"Doctor Gong, Nurse Li, it’s been a long time," Ji Weitian adjusted her emotions and spoke first.
After the simple greeting and seeing Leng Jian close the door, she pulled out a chair beside the desk and sat down first.
The two called looked nervously at each other, not daring to sit.
They just awkwardly acknowledged Ji Weitian.
"It’s been a few years."
"Miss Ji looks the same as before, even younger. You don’t resemble the mother of a four-year-old child at all..." Nurse Li tried to be polite but caught sight of Ji Weitian’s cooling face and abruptly realized she had said something wrong.
