Chapter 429: Chapter 429: If It Were You, I Would Be Heartbroken
"Shanshan... Beichen Rui is injured, I have to stay here with him."
Beichen Rui injured?
Hearing her words, Lan Shan immediately got tense, "And you, are you hurt anywhere? How did the boss suddenly get injured? Where on earth have you been these past two days, are you trying to worry me to death?"
Ye Xinluo lightly pressed her lips... and recounted the events to her.
Lan Shan, "Are you saying that the boss got hurt saving you?"
"Yes."... Thinking back to how Beichen Rui saved her without hesitation, she felt a deep guilt in her heart. She would rather be the one lying in the hospital bed right now so that she wouldn’t feel so guilty.
"Shanshan, honestly, I’m feeling really bad. I asked the doctor later, and the doctor told me that the bullet was lodged very deeply at the time. If it had been any later..."
At this point, she couldn’t hold back and her eyes reddened... It took her a while to calm down and continue, "If we had been delayed on the road, would Beichen Rui have really..."
"How would I explain to Grandpa Bei Chen, and how would I return a president to the Beichen Group, or a father to Jingxi..."
She bit her lip hard to keep any sound from escaping. On the other end of the phone, Lan Shan didn’t say anything, just listened quietly.
She knew that Ye Xinluo must be feeling awful right now. If she could, she really wished to be by her side...
"I really wish that it was me lying on the hospital bed now. What if such a young life disappears because of me!"
"At that moment, he was only thinking about saving me but didn’t consider he’d get hurt. He’s human, not invincible..."
She clutched the phone tightly, her shoulders shaking slightly as she sobbed quietly.
On the other end of the line, Lan Shan pressed her lips together, just about to offer comfort, but instead heard the call ending tone.
Confused, she looked at her phone... it really had been hung up. She called back again, but it rang only twice before it was disconnected.
Worried something might have happened to her, she called once more, and this time, the call wasn’t disconnected. Instead, Beichen Rui’s cold voice came from the other end, "Call back at another time."
With that, he hung up the phone.
...Lan Shan stared blankly at her phone screen, thinking, was it this "big guy" who hung up on her?
He probably noticed Xinluo crying, and that’s why he ended the call!
... Her impression of Beichen Rui changed quite a bit; it now seemed like Beichen Rui truly cared about Xinluo.
But... what about Jiang Shihan? Weren’t they engaged?
After thinking for a long time, she couldn’t come up with anything... so she simply stopped thinking about it. Since the big boss had spoken, she wasn’t going to be tactless and call again to disturb them...
On the other side, on the balcony outside the hospital room, Beichen Rui hung up the phone and pulled the little woman, who was crying like a withered flower, into his arms.
He let her lean on his shoulder, gently rubbing her head, and spoke softly, "If it were you, I would feel heartbroken."
Hearing this, Ye Xinluo lifted her head, her tear-filled eyes looking at him, "What did you say?"
Beichen Rui chuckled, "Didn’t hear it? Never mind, just pretend I didn’t say anything. It’s cold outside, let’s go in first."
Ignoring her daze, he pulled her back into the hospital room. He led her to sit on the sofa, handing her a few tissues, and said disdainfully, "You look like a mess, like a painted cat. It’s ugly."
Ye Xinluo: "..."
This guy... where’s the promised emotion?
