Chapter 843: Chapter 843: Humbly Admitting Fault, Firmly Refusing to Change
Crimson spots dotted the crystal-clear jade-like hand.
Under the illumination of the light, a sinister aura emitted.
“Truly a perfect piece of art~” Jiang Xiaoyan murmured softly, her eyes brimming with infatuation.
“Drip~” “Drip~”
Drops of fresh blood fell onto the floor.
In this quiet environment, the sound was exceptionally clear and unsettling.
Her complexion turned deathly pale due to the excessive loss of blood.
Her body was also swaying, on the verge of collapse.
But the expression on her face showed not a hint of panic, only self-intoxication.
She looked at Jiang Xu, licking her tongue, “If I die in front of you today, will you remember me for the rest of your life? Will you feel guilty forever?”
“Because… I’m dying because of you.”
It would have been easy for her to obtain Jiang Xu’s body, with countless opportunities to make her move.
But that wasn’t particularly interesting to her.
What she wanted was for Jiang Xu to remember her forever and feel eternal guilt.
The blood in the palm of her hand continued to drop, yet she smiled even more joyously.
Uncontrollable fury filled every corner and cell of Jiang Xu’s body.
At last, it erupted like a volcano.
The ropes binding his hands and feet were torn apart.
The moment they fell to the ground, he sprung up and scooped Jiang Xiaoyan into his arms and rushed outside.
The person in his arms was like a wilting black rose.
Petals began to wither one by one.
“Save her, quick, save her!”
Two hours passed.
Jiang Xu looked grimly at Jiang Xiaoyan, who lay on the hospital bed.
Fortunately, she was rushed to the hospital in time, her wounds were dressed, and after a blood transfusion, there was no longer any danger to her life.
“Hey, don’t be so stern, give me a smile.” Jiang Xiaoyan said cheerfully, as if she wasn’t the one who was hurt.
As if the injury were not her own.
“Slap!”
A slap landed on Jiang Xiaoyan’s face.
She turned her head, a trace of bewilderment on her face.
Jiang Xu’s repressed anger burst forth, “Jiang Xiaoyan, I will only say this once.”
“If you ever do something like this again, we will cut off all ties and be strangers from that point on, never to deal with each other in life or death.”
His tone was full of resolve.
Panic finally flashed across Jiang Xiaoyan’s face.
Bowing her head, she said, “I’m sorry, I was wrong.”
But in her heart, she didn’t take it seriously.
Apologetic on the surface, steadfast in her ways.
Seeing her look so pitiable, Jiang Xu’s rage dissipated quite a bit.
He also began to realize the situation now.
This woman was likely acting out because of the feelings she had accumulated when he got married, and was only now putting her plan into action.
It had to be said, her move was very clever.
If she had tied Jiang Xu up and beaten him,
Even though Jiang Xu wouldn’t be angry at her, the previous goodwill would be almost gone.
But by choosing to harm herself, she was only inciting guilt in Jiang Xu.
It was a blatant scheme.
Even if Jiang Xu knew, he was helpless to stop it.
The bodyguard brought in food.
Jiang Xu took it, sat by the bed, and opened the food container.
“Red date chicken soup for blood replenishment, drink more of it.”
Jiang Xiaoyan: “Feed me, my hand is injured.”
Jiang Xu nodded.
Indeed, it was difficult to eat with one hand.
Watching Jiang Xu feed her bite by bite, Jiang Xiaoyan couldn’t be happier.
She had longed for this scene for so long, and now it was finally happening.
Even though the cost was a bit steep, she didn’t mind.
After feeding Jiang Xiaoyan, Jiang Xu stood up, “Rest well here, I should get going.”
“Can you stay with me tonight?” Jiang Xiaoyan blinked her eyes, looking pitifully, “This little one gets scared being alone at night.”
“Heh,” Jiang Xu chuckled coldly.
Jiang Xiaoyan scared?
With her character, even if a thousand-year-old ghost came along, it would have to slap itself twice and offer a couple of cigarettes to leave in peace.
Watching Jiang Xu’s retreating figure, Jiang Xiaoyan sighed softly.
But she also knew that Jiang Xu wasn’t likely to stay.
After such self-harm, the rage and animosity accumulated since Jiang Xu’s marriage had almost dissipated.
Jiang Xiaoyan lay sluggishly in bed, staring blankly at the ceiling.
She fell asleep before she knew it.
By the time Jiang Xu got home, it was already dark.
Mainly because he stopped at a hotel on the way to take a shower, removing the smell of hospital antiseptic and the perfume left from carrying Jiang Xiaoyan.
An Nuonuo had a very sensitive nose.
He didn’t want An Nuonuo to find out about it, as there would be no benefit.
Chen Yue had already prepared dinner.
Upon seeing Jiang Xu come home, she picked up the broom and gave him a few hits.
“Mom, why are you hitting me again?” Jiang Xu felt wronged.
The word ‘again’ was used with quite some finesse.
Chen Yue, hand on hip, said, “Who told you to come back so late, delaying my precious daughter-in-law’s dinner.”
Jiang Xu: “…”
It was only six o’clock; he thought it wasn’t late at all.
But faced with the angry Lord Chen Yue, Jiang Xu dared not speak his anger, obediently admitting his mistake.
An Nuonuo, feeling sorry for her husband, said it was fine, she wasn’t hungry, and told Chen Yue to stop hitting him.
Once the daughter-in-law had spoken, Chen Yue naturally put down the broom.
Jiang Xu was deeply touched.
At a crucial time, it was still his darling little wife who knew how to care for him.
Wuu wuu wuu, after An Nuonuo gave birth and recuperated, he would definitely teach her a wealth of knowledge.
After dinner, Chen Yue and Jiang Shan left.
At eleven o’clock at night, An Nuonuo still wanted to watch TV, but Jiang Xu forcibly turned it off.
In the pitch-black bedroom, Jiang Xu’s nose twitched. He said, “Wife, why is your scent getting stronger?”
Since getting pregnant, An Nuonuo had been emitting a milk fragrance.
It was very pleasant.
At first, it was faint.
Now, as time went on, it grew increasingly intense.
Jiang Xu was almost getting tipsy from it.
“Don’t know,” An Nuonuo shook her head.
She herself hadn’t noticed the scent.
But little did she know, for Jiang Xu, it was sheer torment.
Finally, Jiang Xu couldn’t resist turning over and looking at his delicate wife, “Wife, I need to ask you for a favor.”
His hot breath was on An Nuonuo’s face.
Her cheeks started heating up, and she softly uttered a sound of agreement.
Supper was being added to the menu tonight.
Jiang Xu turned on the bedside lamp.
Looking at An Nuonuo, whose face was blushing and who looked soft and charming, his breathing became a bit more rapid.
He said with a husky voice, “Do you like me?”
An Nuonuo: “Of course I like you.”
“No,” Jiang Xu shook his head, “You should say, you like my big…”
An Nuonuo’s cheeks instantly turned crimson.
How could she say such a thing; she shook her head repeatedly.
“Say it, say it,” Jiang Xu pinched her cheek. “I want to hear it, it feels special.”
After Jiang Xu’s incessant pleading, An Nuonuo finally agreed with reluctance.
But… you have to give me a chance to speak first.
