Flash Marriage, Deep Love-Chapter 274: Send Her to the Hotel (2)
"Hmm, my foot hurts!" Mi Jing stood on one foot, her hands grasping Shen Lingxingβs arm to maintain balance. At this moment, the pain in her ankle spread, making her face contort slightly. ππ³π¦ππ€ππ£π―β΄π·π¦π.πππ
"Donβt wear such high heels anymore." Hearing Mi Jing cry out in pain, Shen Lingxing felt heartbroken. He mumbled this as he lifted her onto the sofa.
"Itβs safer to wear high heels when going out at night." Mi Jing retorted with a pained expression.
Is there a direct relationship between wearing high heels and safety?
Shen Lingxing didnβt react for a moment, his handsome eyebrows furrowed.
"If you encounter a pervert, high heels can be used as a weapon for counterattack!" Seeing Shen Lingxing remain silent, Mi Jing automatically explained.
"Then be more careful when walking from now on." Remembering how she almost stumbled in high heels when he met her outside the hotel before, Shen Lingxing couldnβt help but nag again.
"Okay." With the lesson right before her, Mi Jing didnβt dare to disagree.
Ruan Pianran had already walked to the door. Alcohol had dulled her mind, causing her reactions to be sluggish. Only when her blurry vision saw Shen Lingxing removing Mi Jingβs shoes did she notice something unusual.
"Jingjing, what happened to you?" Ruan Pianran leaned against the door frame, her posture lazy yet sexy.
"Itβs nothing." Mi Jing endured the pain, looking up and smiling at Ruan Pianran.
Feeling dizzy, Ruan Pianran didnβt question further after hearing Mi Jingβs reassurance. She leaned against the door frame and closed her eyes.
"Chen, call someone to bring some ice and towels." Shen Lingxing looked at Ruan Pianran briefly, then turned his gaze to the unusually silent Chu Chen.
Hearing this, Chu Chen put down his crossed leg, immediately extended his long arm, and pressed the service bell.
"Woman, come sit down!" Retracting his hand, Chu Chen saw Ruan Pianran still blocking the doorway and coldly ordered.
"..." Ruan Pianran didnβt move, still leaning against the door frame with her eyes closed as if she were asleep.
"Knock knock--"
Since Chu Chen was in the private room, service staff waited outside the door. Hearing the bell, they immediately knocked, but Ruan Pianran was blocking the door, preventing them from opening it.
Sigh, this woman really...
In an instant, Chu Chen didnβt know how to describe his feelings. Seeing Ruan Pianran still motionless, he stood up impatiently, strode to the door, pulled Ruan Pianran aside, opened the door, then poked his head out to say to the service staff, "Bring some ice and clean towels!"
"What are you doing? Let me go!" Held by Chu Chen, a strange breath surrounded her, making Ruan Pianran instantly more alert. She struggled and yelled.
"Donβt you know youβre really in the way standing here?" Tonight, Chu Chen was in a bad mood, his face cold like the sky before a storm, dark and gloomy.
However, Chu Chen wasnβt the only one in a bad mood! Ruan Pianran, having caught An Mingyuan and Mo Tingtingβs affair, felt even worse. So, when Chu Chen yelled at her, she immediately exploded with anger, shouting back, "How am I bothering you?"
Their argument escalated immediately. Seeing this, Mi Jing quickly spoke up to calm the atmosphere, saying, "Chu Chen, Ruanruan isnβt feeling well today, so..."
Humph!
He didnβt want to stoop to this womanβs level!
Chu Chen inwardly snorted coldly, considering Mi Jingβs presence, he coolly walked back to his original seat, ignoring Ruan Pianran.
Despite being drunk, Ruan Pianran had good manners; seeing Chu Chen leave, she stayed silent, sticking to the wall like a gecko.
"Knock knock--"
Not long after, the private room door was knocked again. When the service staff opened it, he was startled by the sight of Ruan Pianranβs messy hair near the door. After a two-second pause, he regained his composure, delivered the requested items, and left calmly. Only after closing the door did he pat his chest in relief!
Shen Lingxing was not just a doctor but also a caring husband. While applying a cold compress to Mi Jingβs ankle, his movements were both skilled and gentle. The room was filled only with Mi Jingβs occasional gasps and Shen Lingxingβs concerned inquiries.
"Fourth sister-in-law, should I take your friend back to the hotel?" Seeing Shen Lingxing pause, Chu Chen casually asked.
"This..."
"Take her to the hotel near our home." Without waiting for Mi Jing to finish, Shen Lingxing made the decision himself.
Shouldnβt he ask for her opinion? How could he decide on his own?
Mi Jing glared at Shen Lingxing, disagreeing slightly angrily, "No, thatβs too much trouble for Chu Chen." Moreover, Ruanruan is her friend, she should be the one taking her to the hotel to ensure safety.
"Itβs not a bother, itβs on my way." Chu Chen said.
"But..."
"Fourth sister-in-law, you donβt need to be polite with me. Fourth brother has important meetings and surgeries tomorrow, you should get back and rest early." Because tomorrow is the groupβs monthly summary meeting, both Chu Chen and Shen Lingxing had to attend. They were clear about each otherβs schedules.
He came out to find her despite having important meetings and surgeries? Why didnβt he rest properly at home?
Hearing Chu Chenβs words, Mi Jingβs resentment vanished instantly, replaced by gratitude and guilt! She knew Shen Lingxing came here worried about her.
Mi Jing took out her phone to check the time, it was almost 1 AM. Shen Lingxing had surgery tomorrow, he must get enough sleep to be refreshed.
"Ruanruan, Ruanruan..."
"Huh?" Mi Jing called several times before Ruan Pianran responded. She slowly turned her head, looking at Mi Jing with bleary eyes, her face full of confusion.
"Is it okay if Chu Chen takes you to the hotel?" Actually, Mi Jing wanted to send Ruanruan to the hotel herself, but her foot was sprained, and Shen Lingxing had important work tomorrow. Plus, Chu Chen wasnβt a stranger, she felt assured leaving Ruanruan with him.
"Sure, no problem." Ruan Pianran nodded and answered, although she didnβt like Chu Chen much, to avoid troubling Mi Jing and Shen Lingxing, she accepted.
"Weβre leaving first, take care on the way." Seeing that Ruan Pianran agreed, Shen Lingxing didnβt delay further, he advised Chu Chen briefly and then carried Mi Jing out of the room.
The door opened and closed again. Ruan Pianran stood by the door, seeing Chu Chen still seated with crossed legs, she gripped the door handle, opened it, and turned back to say, "Letβs go."
Chu Chen, hands in his pockets, his handsome face aloof yet charming. Vaguely, Ruan Pianran saw his arrogant demeanor and instantly lost patience waiting, she staggered out, followed promptly by a loud "bang" as the door shut.
