After a wealthy woman went bankrupt, her live-in husband became her sugar daddy.

Chapter 233 Want to leave?

I pinched the spot right where his wound was, and Jiang Yichen's face contorted in pain.

"Are you alright?" I immediately became anxious. "Does it hurt? I'm sorry."

Jiang Yichen smiled and ruffled my hair. "I'm fine. It's you who looks so disheveled."

He looked at me with concern, noticing my bare feet and the trail of blood.

The ruthlessness in his eyes was impossible to hide.

"Let's not talk about this anymore, let's go quickly," I urged him.

"Want to leave?!"

No sooner had I finished speaking than Zhao Ning charged down with a knife in hand.

His head and face were covered in blood; it seemed I had hit him quite hard.

Upon seeing Jiang Yichen, Zhao Ning's expression turned ferocious, and with the flowing blood, he looked like a demon.

I gripped Jiang Yichen's clothes tightly in fear, and he shielded me behind him.

Jiang Yichen! You're like a persistent ghost!

Zhao Ning roared angrily.

"Yichen, be careful, he has a knife."

Jiang Yichen is injured, and I'm worried about his health if we go head-to-head.

"Gu Mo! You bitch, you lied to me all this time!" Zhao Ning went completely mad.

Without saying a word, they charged straight at us.

Jiang Yichen pushed me away, and then confronted Zhao Ning face to face.

Both were injured, making it difficult to predict who would win.

Jiang Yichen had learned some martial arts skills when he was bullied before. In addition, he exercised frequently, so he was very fast and every punch was deadly.

But Zhao Ning had a knife, which was very sharp, and before long, Jiang Yichen was injured again.

"Jiang Yichen, you are no match for me. Give Momo back to me, and I won't hold it against you!" Zhao Ning said fiercely.

I could clearly see the murderous intent in his eyes, and I felt a chill run down my spine for Jiang Yichen.

Jiang Yichen straightened up, tore off a corner of the ripped shirt, bit one side, and wrapped the other side around his hand.

"Zhao Ning, you kidnapped my wife, injured my wife, and I'm going to settle all the old and new scores with you today!"

"Momo is not your wife! It doesn't count! It doesn't count at all!" Zhao Ning roared angrily, rushing forward like a madman.

He was emotionally agitated, and Jiang Yichen quickly discovered his weakness, kicking him to the ground.

Zhao Ning crashed into the wall, and the fruit knife in his hand fell to the ground.

By the time he tried to stand up with difficulty, it was too late. Jiang Yichen held a fruit knife to his neck.

"it's all over."

"Hahaha!" Zhao Ning laughed maniacally, "You dare kill me, Jiang Yichen?! Do you dare?! What true love! It's all bullshit! I dare to break the law for Momo, do you dare!"

"Zhao Ning! This isn't love, you're a pervert!" I said as I stepped forward.

Director Zhang arrived just then with the police and handcuffed Zhao Ning.

When Zhao Ning reached my side, she stopped. Her eyes were earnest.

"Momo, did you really not even for a single moment, not even for a second, ever like me?"

A single tear rolled down his cheek, washing away the bloodstains beneath his eyelid in the moonlight, revealing the same deep affection he had shown when they first met.

I turned to look at him and said, "Zhao Ning, whether in the past or now, I only have friendship for you, not a single other feeling."

He lowered his head, wiped away his tears, said nothing more, turned around and left with the police without looking back.

I watched his departing figure.

"If you look again, I'll gouge your eyes out."

Jiang Yichen's threatening voice interrupted my thoughts.

He was saying harsh words, but somehow he found a pair of shoes in the room, knelt down on one knee, lifted my foot, and helped me put on the shoes.

"After we get back, I'll take you for a full body checkup."

I looked down at the gentle man, and when he stood up again, I hugged him tightly.

"Jiang Yichen, I love you."

He reached out and hugged me, but before I could savor the joy of having regained what I had lost, he leaned on my shoulder and let his hands fall to his sides.

"Jiang Yichen!"

Jiang Yichen fainted. The tension he had been under for days finally broke him, and he collapsed in the arms of his beloved.

When we went to the hospital together, even the doctor couldn't help but sigh when he saw his condition, "How come it took so long to bring him here after such a serious injury!"

We stayed in the hospital for a week.

Jiang Yichen woke up the next day and insisted on taking me for a full body checkup.

I was relieved and started to recover after the doctor told me that I was fine.

I called Gu Bai to let him know I was safe. He wasn't surprised when he answered my call. He said a few words and I was about to hang up when I heard him speak awkwardly.

"Is my brother-in-law alright?"

"what?"

This is the first time he's used this title, and I'm still a little unaccustomed to it.

"Your disappearance this time was all thanks to him. Please tell him for me that I will remember this kindness."

For Gu Bai to say something like that, it seems Jiang Yichen has truly gained his approval.

I turned around and glanced at the man lying on the hospital bed, working earnestly.

Jiang Yichen has never told me how he has spent these days.

We will return to the Jiang family home after we are discharged from the hospital.

Grandma held my hand and said, "Good granddaughter-in-law, how come you've lost so much weight?"

The old lady next to me cursed, "Why didn't you die outside?"

"Just shut up for a bit! It's good that he's back!" Jiang's father glared at her.

Jiang Yichen parked the car and didn't hear what the old lady said.

If he heard this, he definitely wouldn't tolerate her.

I won't say anything more. He's not feeling well right now, and I just want him to be happy.

"Good granddaughter-in-law, don't listen to her, go take a hot bath."

When I went upstairs, the nanny had already prepared hot water for me.

I took off my clothes and soaked in the bathtub. The fatigue of the past few days vanished, and I drifted off to sleep.

Suddenly, the bathroom door was opened, and I was startled, reaching out to cover my exposed body.

"Jiang Yichen, what are you doing!"

The man smiled maliciously, "I was going to help my wife prepare her bath, but the maid stole this opportunity to be attentive. I'm so sad."

I rolled my eyes. His current smug look made me miss the days when I was lying in a hospital bed, unable to move.

"Okay, now you can go out. I'm going to take a shower." I looked at him warily.

Jiang Yichen not only didn't go out, but instead came over even more aggressively.

"lady."

"roll."

"Wife."

"Get out!"

"Good jasmine."

Jiang Yichen squatted down and grabbed my fair wrist.

"Thank you for taking care of me at the hospital these past few days. Now let me repay you."

My face turned red; I had a feeling this response wasn't exactly a compliment.

His palm caressed my wrist, pausing when it touched my scar.

I tried to pull my hand away, but he held it tightly.

"I'm sorry, Momo, I failed to protect you."

He lowered his eyes, and his shoulders slumped.

I touched his hair.

"You suffered so many injuries because of me, how could I bear to blame you?"

I always feel like I look out of place, like I'm comforting a big dog.

Especially in such an ambiguous environment.

"Then I'll help you take a bath, my wife."
