old house.

Grandma Fu looked at the bodyguards arranged by Fu Beichen, her eyes revealing a hint of helplessness and worry, and she couldn't help but sigh heavily.

"I finally had some peaceful days, and then something like this happened. I don't know how Annie is doing."

When Grandma Fu thought of what Fu Beichen had said to her before, her desire to adopt Xia Anni as her granddaughter became stronger.

Xia Annie's character is very much to Grandma Fu's liking. In addition, she is Fu Beichen's savior. Grandma Fu really hopes to become a family with her and give her warm family care to make up for the lack in her life.

Grandma Fu held the phone, looking somewhat hesitant.

On the one hand, she was worried that calling her now would disturb Xia Anni's rest. After all, she was seriously injured and must be very weak. On the other hand, she couldn't help but want to care about her. After all, she was alone and helpless, and even her only relative had been kidnapped.

Just as she was debating whether to call, her hand vibrated, followed by a familiar ringtone.

She looked down and was suddenly delighted, her hands trembling slightly with excitement.

Afraid that Xia Anni would get impatient, she quickly picked up the phone and put it to her ear.

"Hello? Is that Annie?"

"Grandma, it's me." Hearing her sweet voice, Grandma Fu's heart, which had been hanging in the air, finally settled down.

"Annie, I heard from Beichen that your leg is broken and the joint is dislocated! Those damn bastards will be struck by lightning sooner or later. Poor Annie has suffered so much."

Hearing Grandma Fu's sincere and caring words, Xia Anni felt her heart warm up, and an indescribable emotion instantly surged in her heart.

She tried hard to hold back the tears welling up in her eyes, her lips curled up slightly, revealing a slightly pale but extremely gentle smile. She said softly, "Grandma, don't worry about me. The doctor said I'm fine. I can be discharged after a few days of rest. I'll come to see you at the old house then."

Seeing that Xia Anni was injured and still wanted to come to see her, Grandma Fu felt indescribably complicated. Tears welled up in her eyes and she said tremblingly, "Okay, okay, grandma will wait for you to come and see me when you are healthy."

Originally, Grandma Fu wanted to go to the hospital to visit Xia Anni, but Fu Beichen was worried about her safety and insisted on waiting until the matter was settled. She was also afraid of causing trouble for Fu Beichen, so she did not force him.

With the cooperation of Fu Beichen and An Shiyu, everything went very smoothly. Soon news came that Wu Ye had been arrested. At the same time, Xia Anni's mother and Shen Congjun were also rescued.

Why was Shen Congjun also rescued? Because he was also the target of Wu Ye's revenge. Since she found out that he had cheated on her, her revenge has never stopped.

Even after he had a stroke, Wu Ye did not let him go. His body was covered with traces of her torture. He had already lost both legs, and now he was breathing out more than breathing in. He would not live for more than two days. This was retribution.

As for Xia Annie's mother, although her body was covered with scars, her life was not in danger. However, because she had a heart disease, her health would probably get worse after experiencing this kidnapping incident.

After everything was settled, Fu Beichen went to the hospital to visit Xia Anni, but heard the bodyguard at the door say that a man had gone in more than ten minutes ago with Xia Anni's consent.

He frowned slightly, thinking it was Lu Shen, because Lu Shen had business dealings with Xia Anni's company, and she was now the project instructor of Lu Shen's company, so they had a deep cooperative relationship.

But what he didn't expect was that the person in the ward was not Lu Shen, but a man he had never expected.

When Xia Anni saw Fu Beichen suddenly appear, a flash of embarrassment crossed her face. She quickly adjusted her mood and said with a smile, "Beichen, you're here."

Fu Beichen responded and walked towards the bed, but his eyes were always on the man beside her who was peeling an apple for her.

When Nan Zhengquan heard Xia Anni call Beichen just now, he knew who the person was, but he had not finished peeling the apple for Xia Anni, so he had no intention of greeting him.

Compared with Xia Anni, everyone else has to lag behind, even if he is Mr. Fu, the all-powerful boss in the business world!

There were clearly three people in the ward, but it was unusually quiet, as if time had stopped.

The only sound that could break the silence was the continuous rustling sound.

Xia Anni's eyes fell on Fu Beichen and then on Nan Zhengquan. For a moment, she didn't know whether she should introduce them to each other, because she heard that they had a grudge before. If they started fighting, she really didn't know what to do.

She never dreamed that Nan Zhengquan would fly back from abroad to see her just because of her injury. After all, he was well-known in the company for only paying attention to results and not the process. Moreover, her injury was not considered an industrial injury. After all, the project she was responsible for had been completed and she was now on vacation.

From the time Nan Zhengquan entered the door until now, she had only said three sentences in total, two of which were questions asked by Nan Zhengquan and her answers, and the last sentence was the one she had just said to greet Fu Beichen.

She was really afraid of Nan Zhengquan. Even though he was handsome and had never lost his temper with her, his intimidating aura from the inside out made it difficult for people to look him in the eye.

I remember the first time I saw him was in a bar. A woman pretended to be drunk and leaned against him, but he hit her with a bottle and sent her to the hospital.

The second time she saw him was in the company. He beat an old employee who had done something wrong half to death. Although he had an elegant and noble feeling after beating the person, she still remembered his fierce eyes at that time.

Although she had been promoted by him in recent years, she was still afraid of him.

I saw him staring intently at the apple in his hand, carefully peeling off the skin bit by bit, with such a focused expression as if he was carving a precious work of art.

Soon, a smooth, round apple appeared before my eyes.

However, Nan Zhengquan didn't stop there. He continued to pick up the knife and carefully cut the apple into even pieces, placing them one by one in the exquisite small bowl in front of him. Then, he carefully inserted toothpicks one by one, picked out a piece of apple of the right size, and slowly handed it to Xia Anni's mouth.

Xia Anni looked at him a little embarrassedly, not knowing whether to open her mouth. After all, they were not that familiar with each other, let alone a relationship where she could feed apples to each other.

And...she was also afraid that he would smash the wine bottle with her.

Seeing that she didn't move, Nan Zhengquan didn't force her, but just said lightly: "It seems that you don't want to resign..."

Before he could finish the rest of his words, Xia Anni grabbed his hand and stuffed the apple into her mouth in a flash, so fast that even Nan Zhengquan didn't react.

Looking at her eating like a little hamster, Nan Zhengquan curled up the corner of his mouth into a smile, very soft and warm, and there was even a doting look in his eyes that Xia Anni had never seen before.

His sudden change made her body tremble and her heart panic. Her eyes involuntarily glanced elsewhere, and she didn't notice that her cheeks were slowly turning red.

Fu Beichen looked at Xia Anni, whose cheeks were reddened by Nan Zhengquan, and frowned slightly. This man came here with ulterior motives.

Nan Zhengquan put the toothpick back into the bowl, wiped his hands with a tissue, and then stood up and looked at Fu Beichen, "Mr. Fu, long time no see."

"Mr. Nan, what brings you here?" Fu Beichen looked coldly at the man in front of him, a man known for his coldness, cruelty and rebellious nature.

Nan Zhengquan is a mixed-race man with delicate facial features, deep eyes, and a high nose bridge. Many women are bewitched by his handsome appearance when they see him for the first time, but when they understand his personality, those women avoid him.

After all, no woman who takes the initiative to approach others will have a good ending.

There have been messages saying that Nan Zhengquan doesn’t like women and is allergic to women, and some say that he is not good enough. No matter which one it is, no one dares to say it to his face because they cannot bear the consequences.

Nan Zhengquan has never had a woman around him in these years. Her sudden appearance here today made him realize that something was wrong, especially his attitude towards Xia Anni, which was obviously too ambiguous.

When Fu Beichen looked at him with his sharp eyes like an eagle, Nan Zhengquan also looked Fu Beichen up and down without showing any weakness.

Nan Zhengquan raised the corner of his mouth slightly, and said with a smile: "Mr. Fu, I haven't seen you for two years, but you haven't changed at all."

"I haven't seen you for two years, and President Nan has changed quite a bit. He's actually thinking about someone he shouldn't be thinking about. I just don't know if President Nan's health supports this."

His words were full of merciless sarcasm and ridicule towards Nan Zhengquan.

Facing Fu Beichen's naked ridicule, Nan Zhengquan smiled indifferently, and some emotion flashed in his eyes.

"Boss Fu, I'm afraid you won't understand whether I support you or not. After all, I like women."

Fu Beichen's face turned cold when he heard this, and he said nonchalantly: "Really? I'm afraid that women are not lucky enough to enjoy it. After all, there are too many things that President Nan cannot tell outsiders."

Listening to their overt and covert ridicule, Xia Anni lowered her head, her heartbeat gradually quickened, and she felt like crying but had no tears.

No way, is this something she can listen to? Will she be murdered to silence her? She hasn't even left her job yet, so she shouldn't get involved in this mess.

Just as she was praying to be let go, Nan Zhengquan suddenly turned around and fixed his gaze on her, saying lightly, "If you want to know whether I like women or not, just ask Annie."

Um? ? ? ? ?

Xia Anni raised her head in disbelief, staring at him with wide eyes, "I...I don't know anything."
