Quick Transmigration: The Yandere Boss Pretends to Be Well After He's Gone Mad
Chapter 287 High-Ranking Business Tycoon (Gong) VS Beautiful, Clueless, and Clear-Headed (Shou) [63]
After receiving the call, Shen's mother rushed to the hospital. She took Shen Xiushu back to the Shen residence, made him kneel in front of his father's portrait, and disciplined him for the first time.
She rebuked Shen Xiushu for not clarifying his engagement, and also rebuked him for daring to say such things to Shen Jingtan, especially for hurting the relationship between uncle and nephew for the sake of a man.
Shen Xiushu endured it all, not uttering a single word from beginning to end.
Looking at his completely unfamiliar appearance, Shen's mother suddenly couldn't hold back her tears.
She cried because her husband had left so early, and she also cried because she had lived in constant fear all these years. She felt that she had not raised Shen Xiushu well...
Upon hearing these words, Shen Xiushu finally raised his head, revealing bloodshot eyes. In the end, he resigned himself to closing them, just as he had compromised with his mother many times before.
However, only he himself knows what his true thoughts are.
That evening, Shen Jingtan returned to the Shen residence.
Shen's mother took the initiative to apologize on behalf of Shen Xiushu for his rude words.
Shen Jingtan only subtly told her mother that since they had chosen to marry into the He family, there were some people or things that needed to be dealt with as soon as possible.
This was the first time he had openly and proactively intervened, letting Shen's mother handle the matter on behalf of Shen Xiushu.
Shen's mother naturally agreed, stating that she would make Shen Xiushu and Jiang Xiyu break up.
Shen Jingtan gave a satisfied "hmm" and didn't pursue the matter further about what had happened that day.
Seeing that he wouldn't pursue the matter, Shen's mother finally breathed a sigh of relief. However, before leaving, she remembered her son's conversation with Shen Jingtan at the hospital and couldn't help but look back.
The man sat calmly on the sofa, his eyes lowered as he stared at his phone.
I don't know what she was looking at, but Shen Jingtan's expression was one of the few times I'd seen her show tenderness in all her years in the Shen family.
With Shen's mother's interference, Shen Xiushu had no chance to go to Jiang Xiyu again.
He shuttled between the Shen residence and the company every day, and whenever he had free time, Shen's mother would forcefully demand that he cultivate a relationship with He Fuyue.
Everything seemed to end so easily, and Jiang Xiyu was given the opportunity to recuperate.
Just as Shen Jingtan casually said that she would not let Shen Xiushu bother her again, Jiang Xiyu really did not see Shen Xiushu again during the two months she spent recuperating.
He was isolated from the world, and the only person he could truly contact was Shen Jingtan.
Shen Jingtan would always make time to come to the hospital, no matter how late it was. He would stay and talk to Jiang Xiyu for a while, but sometimes he would come too late and Jiang Xiyu would be asleep. Shen Jingtan would quietly stay by the bedside and sit and stare at the sleeping Jiang Xiyu for a while. Then, when the time was up, he would leave quietly.
The most common question he asked every day was what Jiang Xiyu had eaten and what he wanted to eat. He would also patiently ask Jiang Xiyu what he had done that day and whether he was happy. Later, he accidentally saw that Jiang Xiyu had liked a video of a kitten on a video app. As a result, the next day, Shen Jingtan personally went to choose a pure white Minuto cat with blue eyes.
The kitten is snow-white and fluffy, very cute.
Shen Jingtan thought he looked a lot like Jiang Xiyu, so she chose him at first glance.
When the stern-faced man appeared in the ward carrying a cat, Jiang Xiyu was stunned and didn't know how to react.
Shen Jingtan stroked the kitten with her slender hand, then gently looked up at Jiang Xiyu and said that this was a gift for him as a reward for his hard work in rehabilitation.
Jiang Xiyu walked over in disbelief, her hands outstretched in mid-air, unsure how to hug him.
Shen Jingtan chuckled softly, raised her arm to him, and let the kitten climb into Jiang Xiyu's arms.
Jiang Xiyu smiled happily as she held the kitten, her eyes crinkling with laughter and revealing her sharp, white teeth.
He teased it for a while, then smiled and asked Shen Jingtan in a gentle tone, "What's its name?"
Shen Jingtan stared at him for a long time, then suddenly seemed to smile and whispered two words: "Good boy."
Jiang Xiyu paused in stroking the kitten's head. Seeing the man's serious expression out of the corner of her eye, she realized she might be overthinking things, so she called out "Good boy" to him as well.
The kitten blinked its round eyes and waved its little paws, seemingly quite pleased with the name.
Shen Jingtan looked at the person and the cat, and the smile on her lips deepened.
With the kitten's company, Jiang Xiyu smiled much more and spoke to Shen Jingtan without being so timid.
Gradually, Shen Jingtan realized that the young man seemed to be waiting for her.
The night she waited for him, Shen Jingtan had just returned from a business trip and arrived at Haishi Airport in the early hours of the morning.
He had assumed Jiang Xiyu was already asleep, but when the car arrived at the hospital, the lights in the ward were still on, and the shadows of a person and a cat were curled up on the bay window.
The kitten seemed to be tired of waiting and tried to climb out of his arms.
Jiang Xiyu wanted it to behave, so he moved his hands very gently until he couldn't hold on any longer and yawned.
At that moment, Shen Jingtan felt as if Jiang Xiyu had scratched her heart.
In the stillness of the night, the mark was soft, with a subtle itch.
The feeling of being waited for was very unfamiliar to Shen Jingtan.
But he didn't dislike it. On the contrary, he felt that the fatigue from his business trip was softened by Jiang Xiyu's action.
When Shen Jingtan arrived at the ward, he opened the door very quietly.
Jiang Xiyu leaned against the windowsill and dozed off. Because he was worried about whether Shen Jingtan would come or not, he was only resting lightly with his eyes closed.
Even though Shen Jingtan's footsteps were very light, he still heard them.
Just as Jiang Xiyu was hesitating about whether to wake up, Shen Jingtan's shadow had already loomed over her.
All I heard was the man ask softly, "Are you asleep?"
This was a good stepping stone, so Jiang Xiyu opened her eyes and looked up at Shen Jingtan.
Shen Jingtan looked down at him, and from this angle, she could see the young man's soft neck and the collarbone that was faintly visible below his neck. In the shadows, those curves had a hazy sense of mystery, making one want to touch them for a moment.
He stared at it for a moment, then suddenly smiled and asked knowingly, "Why aren't you asleep yet?"
According to Jiang Xiyu's usual routine, she would have been asleep by now.
Jiang Xiyu, of course, didn't want Shen Jingtan to overthink things, so she casually made up an excuse, saying that she had slept during the day and couldn't sleep at night.
"Is that so?" Shen Jingtan asked meaningfully.
Jiang Xiyu gave a very weak "hmm".
Suddenly, Shen Jingtan bent down and stretched out her arms as if to hug her.
Jiang Xiyu shifted her position, somewhat embarrassed, trying to avoid him.
Shen Jingtan chuckled and gently took the kitten from Jiang Xiyu's arms.
Jiang Xiyu's thin skin immediately turned red.
Shen Jingtan held the cat, her tone gentle, as if she were asking the cat, or perhaps asking a person.
"You're waiting for me so late, 'sweetie'?"
The kitten meowed as if in protest.
"It seems you were forced..."
The man's voice contained a low, husky chuckle, and upon hearing it, Jiang Xiyu felt even more embarrassed for some reason.
He was waiting for Shen Jingtan, but the kitten was forced into it.
Jiang Xiyu pursed her lips and stepped down from the bay window, but her legs were numb.
Losing her balance, Shen Jingtan released the cat, grabbed Jiang Xiyu's shoulders with both hands, and looked down with a faint smile in her eyes.
Jiang Xiyu looked at him apologetically and said that her legs were a little numb.
Shen Jingtan's gaze fell on his lips as he spoke, her Adam's apple bobbing slightly. After a long while, she calmly said, "It's my fault."
What's wrong?
Is it because he came back late?
Jiang Xiyu realized the ambiguous meaning of those two words and tightened her grip on his clothes with her fingertips.
The soft light in the ward fell on the man's broad shoulders, outlining every dark spot with an air of nobility and mystery.
Jiang Xiyu, shrouded in his shadow, unknowingly became his possession.
