Night Fire Lingering

"Ah? Oh, okay!"

Wen Junming suddenly came to his senses and went to the bathroom to wash his hands.

Previously, his nerves had been on edge. Now, as he washed his fingers with hot water and the smell of blood assaulted his nostrils, Wen Junming felt a sense of nausea. However, the thought that it was Wen Yan's blood prevented him from opening his mouth.

“You…” Wen Junming came out of the bathroom and was about to speak when Jiang Huaixu stopped him with a look.

Jiang Huaixu reminded him, "Keep your voice down."

Wen Junming looked Jiang Huaixu over and praised, "Wen Yan has good taste."

Not only is her gigolo good-looking and caring, but he also seems very assertive... He looks quite intelligent, probably a top student like Wen Yan!

Jiang Huaixu wasn't very interested in Wen Junming until he said those words, at which point he started to look at him properly.

Jiang Huaixu asked, "Gu Yanci or me, who would you choose?"

"Huh?" Wen Junming's eyes widened in shock, and he waved his hands frantically. "Although I don't discriminate against gay people, I'm not gay!"

Jiang Huaixu: "..."

Jiang Huaixu immediately dispelled Wen Junming's idea of ​​saying more.

That person is so stupid!

Just then, Wen Junming's phone rang.

It was Gu Yanci calling.

"Go outside to answer the phone. I'll take care of Wen Yan." Jiang Huaixu made the arrangements clear to Wen Junming.

Wen Junming glanced at the unconscious Wen Yan and walked out of the ward.

He answered the phone like a thief: "Hello!"

"Where is Wen Yan?" Gu Yanci asked as soon as he opened his mouth.

He had originally called Wen Yan, but couldn't get through, so he had to settle for contacting Wen Junming instead.

Wen Junming scratched his head: "She's asleep."

Gu Yanci asked in confusion, "At the Wen family's house?"

Wen Yan disliked the Wen family, and in the past, no matter how late it was, she would never stay overnight at the Wen family's house.

No, we're at the hospital.

……

"Brother Ci?"

When Wen Muzhi saw Gu Yanci suddenly stand up and walk out, he nervously called out to him.

"Brother Ci, where are you going?"

She almost instinctively stood up after Gu Yanci, startling the doctor who was narrating the scene, who immediately held her down.

"Ms. Wen, your hand is badly injured, you absolutely mustn't move it! We'll need to get an MRI later!"

"Brother Ci, you want to see Yan Yan, right?" He asked Wen Yan when he called earlier, so Wen Muzhi could guess.

She forced a smile: "Brother Ci, I... I'm so scared. My hand... I can't feel at ease without you by my side. Please don't go, okay?"

Wen Muzhi started crying as he spoke.

"Yanci, Muzhi's hand is the most important thing. Yanyan will be fine," Wan Ying chimed in from the side.

“Yes, Xianxu, you can rest here for a while,” Wen Yonghai added.

He wanted to spend more time with Gu Yanci, hoping to discuss a business deal later when he had some free time.

Wen Yan was also at the hospital, but one of the two people said that Wen Yan would be fine, while the other told him to rest there.

Gu Yanci glanced at the Wen family of three indifferently, and finally looked at Wen Yonghai: "Aren't you two parents here with us?"

Wen Yan, on the other hand, had nothing.

Wen Muzhi understood Gu Yanci's subtext, and his expression turned somewhat unpleasant.

The doctor's examination caused her previously numb hand to suddenly experience excruciating pain, and she screamed, "Ah—!"

"Be gentle, be gentle!" Wan Ying hurriedly said to the doctor, "My daughter is so unlucky, she was injured like this by her own sister!"

Gu Yanci's gaze toward Wan Ying was somewhat cold.

Wen Muzhi knew that Wen Yan's position in Gu Yanci's heart was different now than before, and she could not sit idly by and wait for her fate!

Wen Muzhi said, "Brother Ci, today at home, Mom and Dad both saw that Yan Yan pushed me, but she won't admit it. My hand is like this now. If you leave now, Yan Yan will probably say that Mom and Dad are biased towards me and deliberately exaggerated my injury!"

Wasn't Gu Yanci so concerned about her injury because Wen Yan hurt her? If Gu Yanci left at this time, he wouldn't be able to personally assess her injury, and could he feel at ease?

She deliberately pressed Wen Yan into the porcelain shards, and her mother even pushed her. Wen Yan's external injuries must have been more serious than hers!

Wen Muzhi wanted Gu Yanci to stay here and make him choose her without knowing the truth!

She wanted Gu Yanci to break Wen Yan's heart!

Wen Yan, a proud person, would never accept Gu Yanci again!

Gu Yanci gave Wen Muzhi a deep look, his gaze seemingly seeing through her little schemes, yet with a hint of sarcasm.

“You’re right,” Gu Yanci said.

Wen Muzhi breathed a sigh of relief and was about to speak when he saw Gu Yanci call Zhou Qi: "Come to the hospital immediately."

Zhou Qi was his confidant and quick-witted, making him the most suitable person to keep an eye on things.

To prevent the Wen family from having any ulterior motives!

Wen Muzhi's smile froze on his face: "Brother Ci..."

Gu Yanci didn't say anything and tried calling Wen Yan again, but still couldn't get through.

Gu Yanci's heart began to pound with anxiety, recalling the cold and resolute tone in Wen Yan's voice when she called him two hours earlier.

She said she wanted to see him...

Since she started asking for a divorce, she has never taken the initiative to see him again.

This time, however, he rejected her outright.

Seeing his indifferent attitude towards her, Wen Muzhi's eyes welled up with tears.

Wan Ying understood her daughter's thoughts and said to Gu Yanci, "Yanci, why don't you let Zhou Qi go see Xiao Yan, and you stay here with Mu Zhi? That would be more convenient, wouldn't it? Besides, Mu Zhi's matter is obviously more important!"

"Are you teaching me how to do things?" Gu Yanci looked at Wan Ying with extremely cold eyes, which sent chills down one's spine.

Wan Ying shuddered: "No, no, I am..."

“Women are ignorant. You are Yan Yan’s husband, you should go see Yan Yan!” Wen Yonghai noticed Gu Yan Ci’s impatience and immediately smiled apologetically at Gu Yan Ci.

He suddenly seemed to remember something and asked cautiously, "Xianxu, I heard you and Yan Yan were going through a divorce. What's going on between you two now..."

Gu Yanci frowned, saying nothing, but his dissatisfaction was evident.

Wen Yonghai paused for a moment, then smiled with satisfaction.

Gu Yanci's attitude shows he cares about Wen Yan! It seems the marriage hasn't ended, which is great!

Zhou Qi arrived very quickly.

Over the past two years, he has kept a close eye on Wen Muzhi's hand injury for Gu Yanci, and when they arrive at the scene, he understands what to do without needing any instructions from Gu Yanci.

"Brother Ci, don't go! Please?" Wen Muzhi called out to Gu Yanci unwillingly as he was about to leave.

Gu Yanci left without even stopping.

Zhou Qi stepped aside to block Wen Muzhi's view of Gu Yanci, and said with a smile, "Miss Wen, please feel free to ask me for anything you need."

Wen Muzhi gritted his teeth, his gaze towards Zhou Qi concealing his disgust.

"Assistant Zhou, have I done something wrong to cause this misunderstanding? Why do I feel like you're wary of me lately? What are you guarding against me for?"

Zhou Qi spoke with perfect tact: "Miss Wen, it's your misconception."

-

The hospital where Wen Yan works is in the east, and the hospital where Wen Muzhi works is in the west.

It was half an hour later when Gu Yanci drove there.

There weren't many patients in the VIP ward area.

Gu Yanci spotted Wen Junming squatting outside the ward smoking at a glance.

Wen Junming was suddenly struck by a chill. He looked up as if sensing something and saw Gu Yanci's handsome face, which had shed its facade of hypocrisy. He was so startled that he choked on a mouthful of smoke.

"Cough cough cough! Brother-in-law, you're here so quickly?" Wen Junming quickly got up.

"Is Wen Yan inside?" Gu Yanci pointed to the closed ward door next to him.

Wen Junming nodded and pulled Gu Yanci back from pushing the door open.

"Hey! She lost too much blood and is asleep now. Why don't you go in later?"

There's a pretty boy in there too!

"Excessive blood loss?" Gu Yanci's expression changed drastically.

"Huh? You didn't know?" Wen Junming gestured with his hands wide open. "When I got home, I saw her lying in a pool of blood, looking like she was about to die... uh."

When Wen Junming heard his brother-in-law say "like he's dead," his eyes were particularly frightening, as if he wanted to devour him alive!

"This wasn't my fault, don't scare me, I'm easily frightened... When I got there, her phone was right next to her, and there were bloody handprints on it. She must have called someone for help before. I don't know which heartless person didn't care about her, and she trusted them enough to call them!"

Gu Yanci's heart sank to the bottom.

Wen Yan called him.

But he rejected her.
