Ning Dao Covered with Snow

Chapter 233 Lost
With a creak, the door was opened, and Chaolu stuck her head out and said to Uncle Jiu.

"Can you bring me a basin of hot water?"

"Okay, I'll go right away."

Uncle Jiu left quickly and came back with a basin of hot water a few moments later. After he knocked on the door, Chaolu opened the door, took the basin from him, and thanked him.

Xiao Wang took the opportunity to ask Yan Ciwan about his current situation.

"Ah Ci lost a lot of blood and has fallen asleep. Fortunately, her wound is not very deep and her muscles and bones are not injured. As long as she recuperates well, there should be no sequelae."

After saying these words, Chaolu turned around and went back into the house.

The door was closed again. Xiao Wang thought that Yan Ciwan's clothes were covered in blood and could not be worn anymore, so he told Uncle Jiu: "Go to the nearby clothing store and buy a dress that Ah Ci can wear."

Uncle Jiu seemed to want to say something but stopped himself.

Xiao Wang signaled him to just speak his mind.

Uncle Jiu asked cautiously, "Liu Lang, do you really want to marry Ning Ci?"

Xiao Wang nodded slightly and admitted it frankly.

Uncle Jiu was very worried: "But, she has already been engaged to someone else, and we still don't know her true background..."

He thought Ning Ci was a very good person. From the perspective of appearance, age and character, she and Xiao Wang were actually quite compatible. However, Xiao Wang had a special identity, so he hoped that Xiao Wang could marry a girl with a clean family background. The reason why Xiao Gong chose Chao Er Niang as Xiao Wang's fiancée was that he considered that the Xiao and Chao families were familiar with each other and knew each other well, which would make him feel more at ease. Ning Ci's origin was a mystery, and she was being hunted by someone. She was involved with the Five Gods Sect. Her background was too complicated. If she married Xiao Wang, it would definitely bring endless troubles and dangers to Xiao Wang.

Xiao Wang said calmly: "I like her as a person, it has nothing to do with her background."

"I'm not asking you to give up on her. I just think that if Ning Ci and you are in tune with each other, you should be honest with each other. But she has been hiding it from you until now, which means that she is still wary and her feelings for you are not very firm."

Xiao Wang lowered his eyes and said softly: "Maybe she still needs a little more time. I can wait."

Uncle Jiu saw that Xiao Wang had made up his mind, and no matter how much he tried to persuade him, it was useless. He could only sigh helplessly: "Okay, I hope you can wait until that day."

After Uncle Jiu left, Xiao Wang was left standing there alone, staring at the flowers and plants in the courtyard in a daze.

I don’t know how long it took, but the door behind me was opened again.

He came back to his senses, turned around and looked at Chaolu who was walking out the door, and asked, "How is Ah Ci?"

Zhaolu held a basin of water in her hand, the water in the basin had turned red. She replied, "She is still in a coma. Her wound has been bandaged. Let her have a good rest. I will go get some medicine. I will leave this place to you for the time being..."

When she said this, she noticed Xiao Wang's pale face and couldn't help but hesitate.

"You don't look very well. Why don't you go and rest for a while and ask someone else to come here to look after Ah Ci?"

"No need, just let me take care of Ah Ci, you go get the medicine."

"OK then."

Chaolu left with the basin of water. Xiao Wang glanced at the half-open door, hesitated for a moment, then pushed it open and walked in.

The room was quiet. Yan Ciwan was lying on the bed, covered with a quilt, with his eyes closed and motionless.

Xiao Wang slowed down his pace unconsciously.

He walked quietly to the bedside and stared at Yan Ciwan's sleeping face.

Her long hair was scattered behind her, her face was pale, and her lips were bloodless. Perhaps because of the nightmare, her brows were furrowed and she looked very uneasy.

Xiao Wang sat down beside the bed, stretched out his right hand, and gently stroked Yan Ciwan's brow with his fingertips, smoothing out the wrinkles between his brows bit by bit.

He stared at Yan Ciwan quietly, his eyes like a paintbrush, carefully depicting her facial features and engraving her appearance deeply into his heart. His Adam's apple moved slightly and he let out a low sigh.

"Who are you?" Although he said that he didn't care about her past, he actually cared a lot in his heart. He wanted to know everything about her, whether it was her identity, origin, past, grudges, everything, he wanted to know everything.

But she didn't say anything, so he could only wait quietly.

Xiao Wang looked at her like this for a long time.

Until, she woke up.

As soon as Yan Ciwan opened her eyes, she met Xiao Wang's deep eyes. She couldn't help but be stunned and murmured, "You are still here."

He had just woken up from a coma caused by the poison and was still very weak. Logically, he should have rested by now.

Xiao Wang said in a gentle voice: "They left for something, you can't be left alone to take care of you, how do you feel? Does the wound still hurt?"

Yan Ciwan frowned: "It hurts a lot."

In fact, she was woken up by the pain, otherwise she could have slept a little longer.

Xiao Wang felt sorry for her, and he comforted her, "Just bear with it for a while, and when Chao Er Niang comes back, ask her to prescribe some painkillers for you."

Yan Ciwan nodded: "Yeah."

Xiao Wang planned to talk to her and help her divert her attention so that she wouldn't find it so difficult.

He asked, "Who hurt you?"

Yan Ciwan pursed her lips and replied in a low voice: "Lu Jinshu."

Xiao Wang was very surprised: "Is it your childhood sweetheart? He grew up with you, so you should have a very good relationship, right? Why would he hurt you?"

He saw Yan Ciwan turned her face away and looked away, which was a sign of resistance. It seemed that these things involved her past and she was unwilling to tell him.

A huge sense of loss surged into his heart, and Xiao Wang felt very uncomfortable.

Reason told him that there was no need to ask any further. He should give the other party some time and not be too anxious.

But the words of Si Buping and Uncle Jiu kept ringing in his ears, making him feel jealous, and he could no longer keep his rationality.

He looked at Yan Ciwan's profile and couldn't help but ask.

"Why would you rather tell Si Buping than me? Is Si Buping more trustworthy than me?"

Yan Ciwan didn't expect to hear such words.

She looked at Xiao Wang in surprise and asked, "What did I tell Si Buping?"

Now that he had already said it, Xiao Wang simply stopped suppressing himself and spoke directly.

"Your identity and origin."

Yan Ciwan frowned: "I haven't told him anything, how could he know my origins? Are you sure he really knows?"

Xiao Wang couldn't be sure, but Si Buping didn't look like he was lying. Besides, there was no reason for Si Buping to lie about something that could be easily exposed.

Looking at his silence, Yan Ciwan's mind flashed with the scene of him risking his life to fight alongside her, and her lying on him and crying loudly.

Not only could he and she stand by each other's backs, he had also seen her at her most miserable.

She really had nothing to hide in front of him.

Yan Ciwan stretched out his hand: "Can you help me up?"
