After the divorce, the aloof female CEO was filled with regret.
Chapter 423 Distress
She lowered her eyes gently; the joy, excitement, and relief that had permeated her from last night until this morning had vanished without a trace.
Why were you suddenly so nice to me last night?
I was taken aback. She looked up and met my gaze, staring at me intently.
"Ye Qiu, you didn't help me because I'm good to you and afraid I'd be upset. You just feel that my kindness has become a burden, and you want to repay it with your body to sever ties with me, right?"
I blinked, gently poked the chopsticks in front of me with my finger, and nodded truthfully.
Jiang Yuwei laughed, her voice clearly tinged with disappointment, but she still said calmly, "I advise you not to think that way, and even more so, not to do that. Whether you want to better distance yourself from me or have other intentions, as long as you dare to climb into my bed, I will never let you get off again."
I was stunned. Her lips curled up slightly, but her eyes were icy cold.
"Don't look at me like that. You have amnesia and don't know my temper. Well, I'll be kind and tell you this: if you had told me the truth last night, I would have killed you half to death and would never have let you off easily."
Hearing her deep, slow voice, my heart skipped a beat.
For some reason, I felt that she wasn't joking. After spending the last few days with her, I realized that although she's a person who gets angry easily and is unpredictable, she's a good person at heart.
But last night she suddenly lost control. I feel that even without drugs, if I cross her line, she might do the same to me.
What kind of person was my ex-wife?
After the meal, the rain gradually subsided.
We continued on our way. Jiang Yuwei closed her eyes to rest, while I quietly gazed at the scenery outside the window.
The rain came in waves, sometimes heavy, sometimes light, the pattering sound of the rain hitting the glass making me restless and drowsy.
Suddenly, Secretary Li slammed on the brakes. I wasn't wearing a seatbelt and almost lurched forward.
Jiang Yuwei reacted so quickly, grabbing my arm and pulling me straight into her arms, which startled me and brought me back to my senses instantly.
Jiang Yuwei frowned and glanced at me, then asked in a deep voice, "What's going on?"
Secretary Li, with a serious expression, quickly reversed the car and said, "President Jiang, there are rocks falling continuously ahead. I suspect there might be a landslide. Please sit tight, I'll reverse to a safe area first and check for any landslides in front and behind before deciding whether to go forward or backward."
Jiang Yuwei had no objections and called Li Ningsu. It was also raining heavily where Li Ningsu was, but there had been no landslides or boulders.
She has already crossed the mountain road and just got on the highway. She will stop at a service area and wait for our news.
Jiang Yuwei hung up the phone. I struggled to get up from her arms, fastened my seatbelt, and stared at the torrential rain outside the window with a furrowed brow.
"It's been raining for a while now, is this rain never going to stop?"
There was almost no cover along this stretch of road. Secretary Li managed to park the car on a sunken section of the road, got out and looked at the road behind him. There were no signs of fallen rocks. He then walked a little further and took photos with his phone to examine the road more closely.
After hesitating for a moment, I said, "How about we go back to the restaurant we just left in? It's more open there, and we can wait until the rain stops before..."
Before he could finish speaking, several rocks suddenly came crashing down from the mountain. Two of them hit the driver's seat and the back seat directly, shattering the car windows on the spot. The car was overturned by the powerful impact and flipped over twice.
I felt dizzy, but I could sense someone tightly protecting my head. Then I slammed my head against the car window, and my head throbbed with pain and dizziness.
The car flipped over, and Jiang Yuwei and I were suspended in the air by the seatbelts. She had several cuts on her left cheek from the glass and said urgently, "Ye Qiu, don't sleep! We have to get out of the car, Ye Qiu, Ye Qiu!"
Her shout pulled me back to reality. Fighting off the dizziness, I weakly said, "I...I heard it..."
I wasn't seriously injured, but my head hurts and I feel dizzy.
Jiang Yuwei's hand groped for the seatbelt, trying to break free, but the seatbelt seemed to be stuck. She then tried to reach my seatbelt first, "Get out of the car!"
But before she could unbuckle my seatbelt, the car was hit violently again.
This time we weren't so lucky; the whole car was overturned. There was a mountain on one side of the road and another mountain on the other.
As it rolled down, the noise was so loud that it felt like my eardrums were ruptured, and I couldn't hear anything anymore.
In the silence, the only thing I could see was Jiang Yuwei beside me. She suddenly pressed my head down, shoving my body forward. The seatbelt digs tightly into my shoulders, causing a sharp pain. At the same time, her body pressed down on me, and I cried out in pain.
Then came another dizzying spin, and after a series of collisions, I lost consciousness.
I don't know how much time passed before I was awakened by the pain. As soon as I opened my eyes, I saw a tree trunk directly in front of me, running across the driver's seat and the passenger seat, wedging the entire car in the tree.
Perhaps it was because the tree trunk lessened the impact of my fall that I survived.
Like falling into the sea, although there were no fatal wounds, there were countless minor abrasions on his body.
I quickly looked at Jiang Yuwei. She wasn't on top of me; she was firmly secured to her seat by the seatbelt. She was more seriously injured than me, with blood on her forehead and face. I immediately reached out to check her pulse. It was strong, and her body was still warm. I breathed a sigh of relief.
I called her name a few times: "Jiang Yuwei... Jiang Yuwei?"
She was unresponsive and unconscious. I endured the pain and struggled to unbuckle my seatbelt. Luckily, the car was now upright, making it easier.
Then I went to help Jiang Yuwei unbuckle her seatbelt, but it was stuck and I couldn't unbuckle it no matter what I did. I then looked for her phone, but it was completely shattered and couldn't be turned on, let alone used to make calls.
I was in despair. All the car windows were shattered, and the doors were jammed. I kicked them several times before I could get out, and that one action almost made me kneel on the ground. The pain made my face turn pale.
It was very cold in the mountains after the rain. Although the rain has subsided a lot now, I still can't help but shiver from the cold.
I pinched myself hard, enduring the pain and chill, and walked around the back of the car; the entire vehicle was deformed. If it weren't for this protruding tree trunk, Jiang Yuwei and I would certainly be dead.
I dragged Jiang Yuwei out from the other side, but the unconscious person was so heavy it was a headache. I was sweating profusely and it took a lot of effort to get her out.
"Jiang Yuwei, wake up, Jiang Yuwei!"
She still didn't respond. I gritted my teeth and saw that she was bleeding. Fearing that she would go into shock from blood loss, I quickly carried her on my back. But I accidentally discovered that her back and hands were covered in wounds.
I was shocked. Upon closer inspection, I saw that shards of glass were embedded in her body. Her back was covered by clothing, so I couldn't see the details, but her entire palm was swollen, and blood was still dripping from her fingertips.
I suddenly remembered that when the accident happened, Jiang Yuwei used her hand to protect my head. During the car's rollover, my head kept hitting the car window, and it was her hand that helped absorb most of the impact.
She was already injured at that time, but she still tried to unbuckle my seatbelt with her hands, wanting me to get out of the car.
During the second accident, she suddenly pressed me down and pressed her body against me. At the time, I didn't understand, but now I realize that she was trying to shield me from the flying glass shards.
If she hadn't shielded me, those shards that pierced her body would have pierced mine instead.
A sudden, sharp pain shot through my heart, my face turned pale, and tears streamed down my face.
At this moment, for the first time, I was truly and strongly moved by my feelings for Jiang Yuwei.
"Jiang Yuwei, are you out of your mind? Why did you do this...?"
