Quick Transmigration: The Yandere Boss Pretends to Be Well After He's Gone Mad
Chapter 281 High-Ranking Business Tycoon (Gong) VS Beautiful, Clueless, and Clear-Headed (Shou) [57]
Jiang Xiyu was transferred to a different hospital by Shen Jingtan, so when Shen Xiushu went to find him, he was completely disappointed.
Shen Jingtan is such a difficult person to understand.
He always spoke bluntly, but afterwards he would comfort the frightened people.
He expressed his regard for Jiang Xiyu, yet said he wasn't in a hurry for her to answer. But the more he showed such deep affection and respect, the more it highlighted Shen Xiushu's ruthlessness towards the relationship.
That's what makes him so great.
Jiang Xiyu could only pretend to be stupid, and he could only avoid answering Shen Jingtan's question about going with him that day.
Because the matter between him and Shen Xiushu was still unresolved, no matter how much Shen Jingtan coaxed him, Jiang Xiyu would not agree to it at this critical juncture.
If he agreed, he would simply go from being Shen Xiushu's lover to being Shen Jingtan's lover. Such a relationship would be too cheap, and no one would cherish it. Once no one cherishes it, he might not make much difference to the uncle and nephew.
Moreover, ending things with Shen Xiushu would inevitably involve many vested interests.
Jiang Xiyu had suffered too much at Shen Xiushu's hands over the past year, including his mother, who was only alive today because of Shen Xiushu's help. He could only sort things out, return everything to Shen Xiushu, and then cut all ties with him completely.
If things go as smoothly as he imagined, he won't need Shen Jingtan's intervention; but if things don't go smoothly, he'll need Shen Jingtan's help if necessary.
Shen Jingtan probably knew this too, which is why he said it again.
This is the second time this man has extended an olive branch.
Jiang Xiyu didn't want to delve into whether it was genuine sincerity or a test.
But things shouldn't happen more than three times; any more than that will become annoying.
By the third time, Shen Jingtan would no longer give him any room to maneuver.
Therefore, before things could be resolved, Jiang Xiyu could only place herself in the most innocent position. Sometimes being in a vulnerable position isn't necessarily a bad thing; on the contrary, it can easily arouse a man's sense of guilt.
Jiang Xiyu wanted to use this opportunity to tell Shen Jingtan, "Look, is this how you like me, so fragile and easily broken?"
He wanted to drag him up to the altar as well.
Before going up to the altar, Jiang Xiyu could be ambiguous with Shen Jingtan, but he would not take responsibility for it.
After all, what we can't have is always what we can't forget.
Especially for a man like Shen Jingtan, who had everything from birth.
His age and experience were far beyond what Shen Xiushu could match.
Perhaps anyone would find it hard to resist this man's charm and fall into the tender web he has carefully woven.
His status and position have made him no longer afraid of any rules.
He could even be the one to set the rules, and this kind of power applies equally to love. Shen Xiushu was constrained in every way, so his love had to be weighed carefully, but Shen Jingtan didn't need to. Nothing could hold him back anymore, so he didn't hold back his affection for Jiang Xiyu, and could even tell Jiang Xiyu directly that becoming his person would bring him more benefits.
Jiang Xiyu, however, was fixated on what she called love.
It's ridiculous for a lover to develop feelings for their sugar daddy that are mixed with self-interest.
Shen Jingtan wanted him to realize the truth.
Jiang Xiyu can come to his senses as he wishes, but he won't easily become like Shen Jingtan...
Therefore, he neither refused nor agreed to Shen Jingtan's hints.
Sometimes, not responding can have many different meanings.
Regardless of what Shen Jingtan thought, Jiang Xiyu pretended to be heartbroken by the news of Shen Xiushu's engagement.
After he moved to a quieter environment at Shen Jingtan's request, he could clearly feel as if he were isolated from the world.
The original cell phone was destroyed in the car accident. The current cell phone was prepared by Shen Jingtan. The cell phone is under control, and only Shen Jingtan can contact it. Therefore, very few people know where Jiang Xiyu is now.
Shen Jingtan didn't tell anyone.
In fact, after bringing the person here, Shen Jingtan severed all his connections with the outside world.
It was as if he was secretly keeping Jiang Xiyu under his control.
Just like the crabapple tree outside his study, which he planted with his own hands, this time he would also take care of it with his own hands.
But Jiang Xiyu was unaware of this.
After arriving at the new hospital, he temporarily put aside his work and focused on rehabilitation as instructed by Shen Jingtan, listening attentively to the doctor's advice.
The doctor said that if he wanted to film more challenging scenes in the future, he would need to rest and recuperate now. So Jiang Xiyu abandoned everything outside and obediently stayed in the hospital.
During that period, apart from rehabilitation, he spent most of his free time sitting quietly alone, lost in thought.
Therefore, in Shen Jingtan's eyes, his state seemed as if he still harbored a sliver of hope for Shen Xiushu.
However, Shen Jingtan knew that this illusion would eventually be worn away by time.
Because Shen Xiushu couldn't find him, Shen Jingtan wouldn't let him find him either.
In fact, after failing to find Jiang Xiyu at the hospital last time, Shen Xiushu instructed his assistant to contact everyone Jiang Xiyu knew, but the answers he received were all the same.
The youth seemed to have vanished into thin air.
The panic of not being able to find the young man was growing, and Shen Xiushu's premonition was getting worse.
It wasn't until he discovered that the young man's traces at the hospital had also been erased that Shen Xiushu immediately realized it was Shen Jingtan's doing.
That man, with an air of elegance as refined as a pine tree under snow, had personally arranged all of this.
He coveted his nephew's lover and unwittingly contributed to the current situation, even erasing Jiang Xiyu's information when the conflict was at its worst.
He knew that if some misunderstandings weren't cleared up in time, they would never be cleared up.
He deprived Shen Xiushu of his opportunity and left Jiang Xiyu with no way out.
He had a perfect grasp of people's hearts and feelings.
The only person kept in the dark seemed to be Jiang Xiyu from beginning to end.
After following Shen Jingtan here, he was unaware that he had entered an invisible cage.
In this cage, he briefly became Shen Jingtan's possession.
Shen Jingtan put aside his affairs to stay by his side, playing the role of a composed elder, or rather, when cracks appeared in their relationship, he replaced Shen Xiushu and became a considerate lover.
He patiently taught Jiang Xiyu to recognize his own feelings, and he also patiently accompanied him, helping him get used to himself.
The rehabilitation time passed quickly each day. When she was tired, Jiang Xiyu liked to curl up in the corner of the bay window and listen to music quietly, keeping the volume very low, as if she was afraid of disturbing the people who were working.
He leaned quietly against the glass, his eyes closed as if lost in thought.
This state continued until dusk.
After closing her laptop, Shen Jingtan pressed her temples and looked up to see the person sleeping on the bay window.
This hospital boasts excellent facilities and privacy, and the scenery is stunning.
The sunset outside the window painted the horizon a deep pink, and the young man's complexion looked much better than before.
He had his long legs bent as if he were asleep by the window, his long hair lying smoothly against his face, blocking Shen Jingtan's view.
The thin clothes could not hide his frail and thin figure; the part of his wrist that was wrapped around himself was as thin as bamboo, as was his exposed ankle.
Shen Jingtan had been taking great care of the crabapple tree, but its signs of recovery were still not very obvious.
Shen Jingtan frowned slightly.
He grabbed his suit jacket, got up, and walked over. He stood there, lowered his eyes, and stared at Jiang Xiyu for a while. For some reason, he felt that Jiang Xiyu was like a sleepy white cat. Wherever he worked, Jiang Xiyu would be not far away, either daydreaming or sleeping.
In short, just seeing them in my sight inexplicably makes me feel happy.
Perhaps because she had been dealing with too many things, Shen Jingtan found herself with a rare urge to tease him, seeing how adorably he was sleeping, and wanted to wake the little guy up.
However, in the end, he simply reached out and gently brushed the hair from Jiang Xiyu's side.
Jiang Xiyu wasn't asleep to begin with, so when he touched her like that, her long eyelashes only trembled and became damp.
He didn't open his eyes.
Shen Jingtan bent down to cover him with his coat, but Jiang Xiyu suddenly grabbed his little finger.
It was like a child holding onto an adult's hand, unwilling to let go.
Shen Jingtan's lips curved into an extremely subtle smile, but the smile froze when she saw the moisture in Jiang Xiyu's eyes.
He paused for a moment, but didn't pull his hand away; he just sat down next to him.
My phone is playing a piece of instrumental music on repeat. The intro is noisy, but the melody becomes somewhat sad later on. It's as if only in such a quiet environment after the noise can one truly miss someone.
Shen Jingtan frowned, the faint tenderness in her eyes seeming somewhat hurtful.
Later, Shen Jingtan seemed to realize that he was missing Shen Xiushu.
