Chapter 463 - 477: They haven’t been in touch these days.
"I deleted it last night."Lu Jinghan’s distinct fingertips gently brushed through Han Xi’s hair, the warm breeze from the hairdryer wafting across her scalp, feeling especially comfortable.
During those days abroad, she had been constantly on edge, her nerves perpetually tense, desperately longing for a moment like now—resting against Lu Jinghan, chatting and laughing with him.
When Han Xi heard Lu Jinghan say he had deleted Su Luo’s WeChat last night, she couldn’t be happier.
It seems his awareness is quite high.
After drying Han Xi’s hair, Lu Jinghan also went to shower in the bathroom. After changing his clothes, Doctor Liu arrived.
Doctor Liu carefully examined Han Xi’s wounds, saying the ones on her back hadn’t completely healed yet and should not be strained, or they would worsen; however, the scratch on her neck wasn’t serious, a little ointment would suffice.
After prescribing some medication for Han Xi, Doctor Liu left.
Seeing Doctor Liu off, Lu Jinghan returned to the bedroom, intending to call the girl downstairs for dinner, but was unexpectedly hugged by her.
"I miss you, so very much." Han Xi’s pure voice revealed attachment.
"Silly girl, we’re back now, aren’t we? I’m right here by your side and won’t leave again."
Lu Jinghan gently stroked Han Xi’s hair, his deep, ink-black eyes filled with profound affection.
"I want to hold you for a while, just silently hold you like this."
Feeling his body temperature and heartbeat, Han Xi felt especially secure: "When I was abroad, every day I hoped you would come to save me, but I also worried you might get hurt. When I went with your ex-girlfriend to steal the booklet, I was so scared my legs went weak, fearing we’d be discovered."
"And Liao Tingxiao and his men were truly terrifying; when they pointed guns at people’s heads, they showed no mercy. When I saw Liao Tingxiao’s wife get hurt, I was scared to death."
Han Xi poured out all the emotions she’d been bottling up over the past few days to Lu Jinghan—her fear, worry, terror...
"It’s all behind us now. From now on, I’ll protect you well, never let you get hurt again."
Lu Jinghan felt especially guilty for not protecting this girl well, causing her to suffer such distress.
Han Xi’s profile rested against Lu Jinghan’s chest, looking up at him: "But your ex-girlfriend didn’t seem scared at all. When you found out she was undercover, did you worry about her too? I want the truth."
Han Xi’s little jealousy wasn’t going away.
Lu Jinghan smiled, pinching her chin: "No, at that time, my heart was full of thoughts about you—I worried you might get hurt, worried Liao Tingxiao might make things difficult for you, worried you’d be scared, worried you’d cry—I truly didn’t have the mind to think about anyone else."
Upon hearing Lu Jinghan say this, Han Xi finally smiled with satisfaction. Whether her behavior was petty or unruly, she just wanted Lu Jinghan to be concerned about her alone.
"Let’s go down, I’m hungry."
"Okay."

When Fu Bin returned home, Chu Ci wasn’t there; Aunt Li said she was off at a prenatal class.
After showering in the guest bathroom, Fu Bin lay on the sofa and fell asleep. These days had truly exhausted them, with their spirits constantly on alert, and now they finally had a chance to relax.
When Chu Ci returned home from class, she saw Fu Bin lying on the living room sofa, an unconscious smile playing at the corners of her lips.
On the day he left, Fu Bin had only sent Chu Ci a text message, saying an unexpected event required him to go on a business trip for a few days—they hadn’t had any contact all these days.
