Chapter 23: Kneel and Apologize

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

After so many years, Chu Tang had also played the role of an aloof lunatic and a weak cripple very well. After lying low for so many years, this was the first time he didn’t want to continue pretending… Jiang Yingying was really his biggest surprise.

“I did nothing wrong!” The woman in his arms trembled again.

“Yes, you’re not in the wrong.” Chu Tang took a deep breath and lowered his head to smell the fragrance of her hair. “I won’t make you wait too long. I’ll make everyone who bullied you today pay the price one by one.”

When Jiang Yingying woke up the next day, she looked at the unfamiliar environment in confusion. However, when she subconsciously moved her body, the burning pain on her back woke her up instantly.

After she woke up, she turned around and realized that she was actually lying in Chu Tang’s arms. The bed was very crowded, so they were very close. She could even hear the man’s strong heartbeat clearly.

Unknowingly, Jiang Yingying felt very at ease. This was the first time someone had hugged her to sleep. Jiang Yingying raised her head to look at the other party’s face. Chu Tang’s side profile was handsome and elegant. Her collarbone was prominent, and he looked sexy and charming. His eyebrows were sharp, his nose was high, and his eyes were deep set. His lips were pursed slightly. He didn’t look like someone who had been sick for a long time. Jiang Yingying felt that this person was really full of contradictions.

She stared at him and couldn’t help but reach out to touch him. In the next second, he opened his eyes.

Jiang Yingying retracted her hand awkwardly. “You’re… awake?”

Chu Tang was amused by her adorkable look and couldn’t help but kiss her forehead. “Does it still hurt?”

“It doesn’t hurt anymore…” For a moment, Jiang Yingying couldn’t tell if it was because of his kiss or that greeting, but in any case, her heart was racing and her face couldn’t help but blush.

“That’s good.” Chu Tang reached out and pinched her chubby face. “Why didn’t you give in last night?”

Jiang Yingying pouted. “I didn’t do anything wrong.”

“But at that time, as long as you nodded, you wouldn’t have had to suffer.” Chu Tang didn’t understand.

“This is different! I have dignity and a backbone.” Jiang Yingying looked at Chu Tang stubbornly. “No matter how much punishment I receive, I can tolerate it! What’s right and wrong can’t be reversed. If a person loses all their principles because of a little pain, that would be a real loss. My principles will never be violated.”

Seeing Jiang Yingying’s serious expression, Chu Tang felt that she was especially cute, but he sighed. “You’re very precious.”

Originally, because of Jiang Yingying’s injury, she couldn’t move for a few days. However, after Jiang Yingying laid in bed for three days, she felt that her wound had recovered quite a bit. She wanted to go back. When she returned to the Lanyue Residence, Jiang Yingying realized that she missed her big bed. No wonder her grandmother didn’t like to stay in the hospital. It was too depressing.

Just as Jiang Yingying was sighing with emotion, her phone suddenly rang. It was her aunt, Lin Fengxia.

It had been a few days since her aunt called her. Jiang Yingying thought that Lin Fengxia wanted to ask about her and Chu Tang’s progress, so she braced herself and picked up the phone. Just as she was about to speak, she heard Lin Fengxia crying on the other end of the phone. “Yingying, your grandmother fainted again just now and has already entered the emergency room! Come quickly. The doctor said that she might… He told us to be prepared.”

Jiang Yingying’s mind went blank. Ever since she agreed to marry Chu Tang, her grandmother had gone to the best hospital and her condition became much better. Why did this suddenly happen? Jiang Yingying couldn’t dwell on it. She hung up and ran out.

However, she bumped into Chu Tang, who was holding a walking stick.

Chu Tang subconsciously threw down his walking stick and reached out to hug Jiang Yingying. However, he almost fell down because of the collision. Fortunately, he wasn’t a real cripple and his balance was relatively stable.

“What happened?” Chu Tang asked.

“My grandmother…” Jiang Yingying’s eyes were teary as she looked at Chu Tang.” Can you get Zhu Cheng to send me to the hospital? My grandmother is in emergency treatment. I’m afraid…”

Seeing her red eyes, Chu Tang was a little worried. “Alright, I’ll go with you.”

Jiang Yingying wanted to say something, but in the end, she got into the car with Chu Tang. She looked at Chu Tang with mixed feelings. “Why do you want to go with me?”

Chu Tang gestured for Zhu Cheng to drive. “How can I let you go alone when you’re so flustered?”

Jiang Yingying hesitated for a moment before saying, “Then wait for me in the car…”
