"I didn’t expect you to see things so clearly, as long as you understand."
"..."
"Understanding, but not necessarily agreeing..."
Both of them were no fools, clearly knowing that their conversation had created a huge rift between them, where there should have been no space at all.
Wen Nian couldn’t cross over, and Lili refused to co.
In the cocoon of her bedsheets, Lili’s fist clenched with sweaty palms. She took a deep breath and let it out slowly, then gave up, as the topic was veering further away.
"Mr. President, I’m a bit tired and would like to rest."
Song Lili turned her head away, showing an expression that she didn’t want to see Wen Nian at all.
"Rest well. Soone will co later to help arrange your hospital transfer. You’ll return to Anlin with tomorrow."
"I don’t want to!"
Song Lili imdiately glared at him!
Wen Nian’s eyes darkened slightly, his eyebrows drew together, and he asked in a suppressed tone,
"Haven’t you caused enough trouble yet? Fortunately, the video of Duan Shen was intercepted midway. If Uncle Song saw it online, how panicked would he be?"
"You can lie to your father, you can lie to , you can lie to everyone who cares about and loves you, saying things like ’traveling around the world’... but at the very least, you must have the ability to take care of yourself and to keep yourself safe and healthy!"
Song Lili pursed her lips tightly, "If you don’t tell him, he won’t know."
Wen Nian’s lips curved into a wry smile,
"Your thigh is rotting, and if the criminal had been a little rougher, you could have been permanently disabled! Severe soft tissue damage to the scapular area. If the injury was a fraction off, landing on your neck, you wouldn’t even be alive right now! Isn’t that enough? Isn’t that enough to scare you?"
"I’m not scared."
Song Lili looked directly at Wen Nian, her response firm and resolute.
Wen Nian’s handso face turned alarmingly pale. Faced with Lili’s unthinking answer, he was left speechless, but his expression clearly conveyed, "You’re not scared, but I am! Terrified to the bone, my heart trembling..."
However, Lili’s resentnt towards him was so profound at that mont that she failed to perceive even a trace of his emotions, his thoughts, or the words he wanted to say but couldn’t bring himself to utter.
"Wen Nian, don’t say you’re the President, even if you were a god, you wouldn’t be able to sway my decisions."
"I’m not the President, nor am I a god, I am your husband."
"Ha, if you hadn’t said so, I would have forgotten..."
Song Lili suddenly laughed, her beautiful lips and eyes curving, "So you are my husband... a husband who doesn’t care whether his wife lives or dies."
"I have not been indifferent to your life or death, I..."
Before Wen Nian could finish speaking, Song Lili raised her hand to interrupt him,
"Mr. President, I don’t hold it against you for easily giving up a hostage. Everyone has their own fate, and one can only accept their lot when such things happen."
"You say I should have the ability to keep myself healthy and safe, isn’t that the very reason I ca to Xilin?"
"..."
Wen Nian was taken aback.
"As my husband, if you have even a shred of guilt towards , then don’t interfere with my decisions."
Wen Nian looked at the person in front of him... soone both familiar and unfamiliar.
In the short span of a month without seeing her, it was as if she had suddenly grown up; everything she said and did was beyond his expectations.
She was Lili, yet not Lili...
From the start, he never intended to interfere with her decisions, indulging her in coming to Xilin, pretending she was traveling the world, playing along with her act!
But this woman, she nearly lost her life in this act!
Heartless, not knowing who had talked to her or what had happened to her, she had beco so stubborn, obstinate, and insistent.
