A Favor Done, A Husband Won-Chapter 516 - 510: Clearly, It’s Jing Jihan Who’s Jealous
Shi Su ungratefully scratched his palm and said grumpily, "You’re like luring a snake out of its hole, almost selling your wife."
"Sell to whom? Yi City?"
"..."
Shi Su opened her mouth, her fingertips stopped scratching his palm and instead tried to pull away, but he held her firmly.
Jing Jihan pulled the little woman who wanted to retreat back forward. If it weren’t for that thing around her neck being too troublesome, she would have already ended up in his arms.
"I accidentally discovered the relationship between the Yi Family and him when I was investigating Shi Wancheng. Also, the matter involving my mother back then turned out to be connected to Yi City’s father as well. This led to two unavoidable meetings, but each time it wasn’t in private. The first time was in a 4S shop surrounded by staff, and the second time was in the Mountain Spring Villa’s first-floor lounge hall, surrounded by people!" Shi Su explained loudly.
Jing Jihan took her back to the hospital bed, letting this little patient with a weight on her neck sit down first, "Why panic? Yi City has been waiting outside the hospital all day wanting to come in and see you, I haven’t even mentioned that yet."
Shi Su felt a pang in her heart, remembering that when the accident happened, Yi City had probably also realized that the two kidnappers in the car were not his people. Lu Zhao previously mentioned that when Shi Xiangchao’s people arrived, Yi City’s people were already there too.
They had already broken up for years, and just as soon as her accident happened, Jing Jihan’s people arrived, and Yi City’s people were also there. Such an asura scene-level moment, fortunately, she fainted and knew nothing about it.
She averted her eyes with a guilty conscience, "Maybe it’s because the car I was in at that time was related to him, he felt he couldn’t avoid responsibility so he came to keep watch. Why don’t I go meet him and explain..."
Jing Jihan glanced at her, "Explain what?"
"... to make things clear." Even though she didn’t know what more there was to talk about, clearly there was nothing more between her and Yi City. Everything involving his father Yi Kun and Shi Wancheng was already explained, and her attitude had always been clear.
Jing Jihan pressed a button on the cervical collar around her neck, speaking indifferently, "No need, he left after seeing I was here."
Before Shi Su could speak, the tingly electric current-like sensation around her neck made her cry out softly, "Ah——"
She incredulously raised her hand to grab the device on her neck, hugging it as she glared back at him.
But Jing Jihan seemed unperturbed, pressing the button a couple more times to increase the device’s built-in electroacupuncture intensity and heat, "Take good care of your injury, don’t think about useless things."
Shi Su: "???"
You’re the one who’s jealous, what was I thinking?
-
Using the excuse of recuperation, Shi Su didn’t have to return to the Shi Family, lying idly on the hospital bed all day long.
A few days later, when she was ready for discharge, Shi Yuan asked if she wanted to go back to the Shi Family, mentioning that she’d been living alone in her single villa the past few days, and it felt quite lonely.
Shi Su didn’t want to go back, finding an excuse that her wound wasn’t healed and she wouldn’t return for the time being, heading directly to a hotel instead.
Everyone was waiting for Mr. Shi to pass away and cause upheaval in the Shi Family, but after Shi Wancheng was arrested, Mr. Shi actually recovered in one breath. Recently, his complexion was much better, occasionally able to eat some fruit juice and soups, no longer needing tubes to prolong his life by feeding through his nose.
With Shi Wancheng already arrested, there wasn’t much attention on her, and she was uninterested in participating in the scheming fights among the remaining Shi Lingkang, the old man, and other relatives.
This half-month seemed to have drained all of Shi Su’s energy, she needed to rest unconditionally in many ways. Even Jun and Miss Chen knew she’d been rejecting all work using injury as an excuse. She wouldn’t take a phone call or do a video interview online either.
After discharge, Shi Su’s state was reflected in just two words — playing dead.
The Shi family was internally chaotic, while Shi Su shut herself in a hotel room sleeping obliviously, dreaming of Mianmian holding her hand to wander through a supermarket, standing outside the dessert section gazing wide-eyed at the chocolate display.
To hell with the Shi Family, to hell with being a superstar, none of it was important. She just wanted to return to Jiang City to find Mianmian!
Perhaps heaven heard her cries in the hotel, after sleeping a whole day when she awoke, she suddenly found herself wobbling in a car, still in her fluffy pajamas, sitting up bewildered, and looking out the window, then turning her baffled gaze to the composed man beside her, "Wasn’t I sleeping in a hotel? Where are we going?"
She couldn’t imagine herself being carried out of the hotel and into the car in such thick pajamas mimicking a bear by Jing Jihan... Not romantic at all!
Seeing her awake, Jing Jihan started, "To the airport." 𝗳𝚛𝚎𝚎𝘄𝕖𝕓𝕟𝕠𝚟𝚎𝕝.𝗰𝕠𝐦
"What for?" Shi Su, just waking up, felt her brain was still booting up, with a slow reaction speed.
Jing Jihan chuckled as he patted the gray bear-ears hood on her pajama, fixing her messy bedhead with his hand, "You dream while crying, and crying for Mianmian, afraid the child would cry along with you, didn’t even dare to send a video back. If I don’t return you to Jiang City soon, you might really flood the capital in your dreams."
Shi Su paused for a moment of silent disbelief, before astonishingly speaking, "We can really go back now? But Mr. Shi..."
"Mr. Shi’s condition has improved for now, but at his age, he doesn’t have much longer regardless. The business circles of the capital change dramatically each day. If you don’t want to step in, no one can force you. Whenever you’re ready to accept the shares Mr. Shi left for you, we can discuss it later. Ultimately, there’s always a suitable arrangement."
Jing Jihan could see the excitement and disbelief in her eyes, perhaps she thought she would be trapped in the capital for a long time due to uncontrollable circumstances leading her onto an unfamiliar path.
But she is Mrs. Jing.
She didn’t have to suffer any uncontrollable circumstances.
Whatever she wished to do only needed her own willingness.
Jing Jihan casually pulled the little woman in the fuzzy pajamas into his arms, coaxing her like a child, "There are some family matters that need sorting, I’ve left Lu Zhao and Shi Xiangchao in the capital, they know what to do."
After about half a minute, Shi Su finally understood that Jing Jihan genuinely carried out his promise that whenever he was present, she needn’t worry a bit, just needing him was enough.
She no longer cared about what she was wearing or her sleepy demeanor right now, leaning into his arms as she poked his chest, asking, "You really want to raise a pampered little wife who only waits on hand and foot beside you?"
Jing Jihan replied, "I want to give you a home that’s undisturbed by external interference, safe and peaceful."
