My CEO Husband Has Some Issues

Chapter 428: It Doesn’t Matter if She Gets Hurt

The warm water flow soothed his heart, and his slightly pale face instantly looked much better.

He put down the cup, and also let go of Rong Yan’s hand.

Rong Yan then passed him the apple, and said, “Doctor Cui saw me here, and had other matters to attend to, so he went to get busy first.”

Li Shengxiao furrowed his brows, and a hint of displeasure flashed through his eagle-like eyes.

Of course, he knew that Cui Jiangjing was giving him the opportunity to be alone with her, but it wasn’t necessary! He didn’t want her to be too tired!

Rong Yan didn’t think too much about it. After putting down the apple, she washed her hands and came back, saying, “Li Shengxiao, now that you’re awake, shall I go back first to buy groceries and bring dinner over later? What do you feel like eating?”

The food she cooked…

His stomach craved it, but his heart couldn’t bear to see her run around!

“No need! Gu Ming can bring something over in the evening. Just stay here and keep me company, that’s enough!”

“But…”

Rong Yan still wanted to buy a hen to make soup for him.

The man on the sickbed just looked at her earnestly and said, “Yanyan, I hope you will stay here with me.”

I hope you will stay here with me!

With just a short sentence, Rong Yan was defeated, raising both hands in surrender, “Alright, I’ll stay.”

She pulled out a chair and sat in front of the sickbed, handing the apple over again, “Why don’t you eat the apple? Is it too hard or not sweet? Shall I wash some grapes for you instead?”

Li Shengxiao saw her desperate little thoughts of wanting to do something for him, grabbed her hand, and with a hoarse voice said, “No need, just sitting here with me is enough! You don’t need to do anything!”

Her staying here with him, being able to see her when he opened his eyes, was the best medicine for healing!

Rong Yan felt a burning warmth from her wrist; she once again thought of the moment on stage when he ran towards her, disregarding everything to hold her in his embrace. Her heart clenched fiercely, and after a moment’s hesitation, she finally spoke with difficulty, “Li Shengxiao.”

“Hmm?” Even in the plain hospital gown, the man on the sickbed exuded an indescribable sense of nobility.

Looking at him, Rong Yan took a deep breath and then said with pursed lips, “Next time something like this happens, don’t worry about me. I’m tough and can handle it.”

Compared to him getting hurt, she truly wished it had been her instead!

“A lot of people would worry if you got hurt. Li Group can’t do without you. If you’re not there, others would struggle to make decisions. I… if I got hurt, would just need to lie down for a bit. It wouldn’t affect anything.”

What she said was serious, coming straight from the heart, hoping he wouldn’t get hurt for her sake again.

And everything she said was her honest thoughts.

This man was too important.

Compared to him, she felt she was worthless.

So she would rather be the one who got hurt, not wanting it to be him!

Li Shengxiao just quietly looked into her eyes, waiting until Rong Yan finished before saying, “It affects.”

“What?”

Turning his eyes away, he said in a steady and serious tone, “Your getting hurt affects me, it would make me lose judgment and could cause me to lose control of my emotions. The consequences would be much more serious than if I myself got hurt!”

If she had been the one injured today, the entire Capital City would have been turned upside down by now!

Li Shengxiao caught the stunned woman’s gaze again, and said, “Also, if you were injured, Duidui would worry, and I would worry too!”

I would worry too!

Rong Yan heard the sound of her heart succumbing, the defenses collapsing too rapidly, so fast that she couldn’t even begin to fend it off.

She had already harbored feelings for him, and now, she clearly knew she had fallen for him.
