After A Secret Marriage Agreement With A Rival Omega - Chapter 62
Chapter 62
◎ “As long as you want to find me.” ◎
In a short while, Zhou Mei returned with the discharge papers. She saw Jian Jixing and Sheng Ruxi sitting at opposite ends of the bed, with a large empty space in the middle. The sheets were a little wrinkled, not as flat as when she left.
Zhou Mei was familiar with Sheng Ruxi’s expression. She was sulking and looked unhappy. Jian Jixing, on the other hand, was fine. She smiled calmly when she saw her come in.
“It’s all done… We can leave now. It’s just a shame that you, Director Jian, had me bring this set of bedding,” Zhou Mei said quickly.
Sheng Ruxi turned her face away, controlling her gaze, showing no intention of looking at Jian Jixing.
Zhou Mei walked to her side and gently pulled her. Sheng Ruxi only reluctantly stood up.
Jian Jixing was tidying up the sheets herself. Even though Sheng Ruxi wasn’t looking, she could feel the air being stirred into a breeze when Jian Jixing stretched the sheets, and the pheromones drifted into her nose.
Completely covered, they got into the car from the back of the hospital. Jian Jixing opened the door for Sheng Ruxi. She could tell that Sheng Ruxi hadn’t fully recovered and wasn’t walking very steadily. She wanted to hold her, but Sheng Ruxi didn’t want to, so Jian Jixing didn’t force it.
When she opened the door, she skillfully placed her palm over Sheng Ruxi’s head to block any potential pain from bumping into it.
Once in the car, Sheng Ruxi didn’t take off her mask. The air in Xicheng was very dry, and it was summer, so the UV rays were very strong. Jian Jixing noticed that Sheng Ruxi’s breathing was a little heavy. As soon as they got in the car, she told the driver to turn on the humidifier.
But she still heard that Sheng Ruxi wasn’t getting better. Jian Jixing turned her head to look and felt that the corners of Sheng Ruxi’s eyes seemed a little red. She frowned, not knowing why, and reached out to gently pinch the corner of Sheng Ruxi’s eye: “Still angry?” Or is she uncomfortable?
The car had already been adjusted according to Sheng Ruxi’s preferences. Even a temporary car that was called to pick them up was up to standard. Jian Jixing had been very careful when giving instructions, and she used all of Sheng Ruxi’s favorite brands.
Sheng Ruxi took a deep breath. Her throat felt tight. But she didn’t really want to speak. Her bad habit of crying easily when she felt wronged was getting worse and worse now.
All because of one thing Jian Jixing said.
Different was different, but she just had to not say it until she was truly angry. Now Sheng Ruxi was really angry, even though she didn’t know what she was angry about.
In short, she didn’t want to talk to Jian Jixing at all now, and she was afraid that if she said too much, she would cry and lose face.
She pursed her lips and shook her head, then gently nodded. She didn’t deny it, but she didn’t admit much either. She would let Jian Jixing, the sinner, guess why she was so indecisive.
The sinner, Jian Jixing, had no other choice at this time. She moved closer and lifted Sheng Ruxi’s long legs onto her lap. She held her slender ankle in her palm and took off Sheng Ruxi’s high heels.
Sheng Ruxi didn’t know that her calves and the tops of her feet had been so tense all this time.
Jian Jixing’s warm fingers came up and massaged her calf. The pressure was very gentle. When cold and hot met, the coolness of Sheng Ruxi’s skin was especially noticeable.
“Turn up the air conditioning by two degrees,” Jian Jixing said to the front row. Then she didn’t put Sheng Ruxi’s legs down. Instead, she kept them on her lap and continued to rub them.
Her show of goodwill and thoughtfulness softened Sheng Ruxi’s heart a little, but she still didn’t say anything.
When they passed the hospital entrance, the main road, and the streets, Sheng Ruxi realized how big the impact of this incident was.
No wonder they had to leave the hospital secretly. The outside was already full of fans, not to mention that there must be many paparazzi mixed in.
Half an hour later, they returned to the hotel. Zhou Mei watched them get out of the car, a little worried. This time, Jian Jixing didn’t hesitate and directly hugged Sheng Ruxi down.
Seeing Sheng Ruxi obediently being held in Jian Jixing’s arms, Zhou Mei’s worries were dispelled.
Jian Jixing was an alpha who would take care of an omega. Even when angry, she didn’t forget her manners. It seemed that she wasn’t needed here. As for how to handle the aftermath, Jian Jixing had already told Zhou Mei in the hospital that she would just contact her and not to bother Sheng Ruxi.
Sheng Ruxi squirmed a little at first when she was held, but when she suddenly remembered that Jian Jixing would pat her butt, she stopped moving.
The hotel room had been changed to a high-floor presidential suite. Jian Jixing carried Sheng Ruxi into the living room. Her phone had been vibrating in her pocket, but Jian Jixing ignored it.
After thinking about it, Jian Jixing walked to the bedroom and stopped, but Sheng Ruxi was disgusted: “I haven’t changed yet…”
Jian Jixing was stunned for a moment and also realized it. She stopped, put Sheng Ruxi down, and took off her coat before saying: “Do you feel okay now? Should I call Tuanzi to take care of you?”
Sheng Ruxi realized that Jian Jixing was going to take care of things or work. Many people were looking for her outside. But Sheng Ruxi’s phone was very quiet. Was Jian Jixing giving her some peace and quiet?
“No need. You can go,” Sheng Ruxi said. She didn’t really need it. She could just stay here, sleep, or read the script.
“Wait until you change your clothes.” Jian Jixing nodded, but Sheng Ruxi didn’t know why she still hadn’t left. About ten minutes later, there was a knock on the door of the room. A woman in a sharp suit came in. She had a gentle and humble smile on her face and apologized to them.
“Director Jian hasn’t used this suite for a long time. It took us a while to prepare these clothes and replace them…” The woman had a lot of things in her hands, big and small bags. The sound of wheels rolling could be heard behind her as someone pushed in two large suitcases.
Sheng Ruxi then vaguely understood that this suite was not something anyone could book just by having money.
Judging by the way she spoke to Jian Jixing, she seemed to be familiar with her. The woman noticed Sheng Ruxi’s gaze and said with a smile: “I’m the hotel housekeeper for this suite. My name is Manwen.”
Jian Jixing had already taken the clothes from Manwen. She glanced at them. The expensive clothes were casually hooked over her arm. She picked up Sheng Ruxi in front of Manwen and went inside to change.
Sheng Ruxi didn’t make a sound.
The walk-in closet was very spacious. Jian Jixing put everything inside and waited outside, leaning against the door frame, not knowing what she was thinking.
Inside, Sheng Ruxi was looking at the clothes that had been temporarily prepared. They were all her favorite brands, soft and comfortable. Most of them were the same as the ones she had in her villa closet. It turned out that Jian Jixing had noticed.
She took off her clothes one by one and threw the cheongsam into the dirty laundry basket. It was stained with too much outside scent. She herself felt uncomfortable wearing it.
Sheng Ruxi touched the slight swelling on the back of her neck, lowered her eyes, and cursed at Jian Jixing for being so rough.
She picked up a soft knit dress and put it on. She looked at the door, which was still ajar.
Jian Jixing’s back was to her.
Sheng Ruxi hadn’t closed the door properly when she came in, and she didn’t need to avoid Jian Jixing. She knew that as long as she didn’t make a sound here, Jian Jixing would never walk in.
Jian Jixing was a person who had all the means to be reckless, but when it came to relationships, she could never take the initiative to take a step forward.
Sheng Ruxi, on the other hand, wanted to see her take the initiative. After all, only with give and take could all of this have meaning.
Jian Jixing heard the sound of clothes being thrown, but after the change was done, there was no sound.
She resisted the urge to look and waited for a while longer before she heard footsteps. She took a few steps but didn’t come out. Instead, she stopped not far behind her.
“Jian Jixing.” Sheng Ruxi stood with her arms crossed, her gaze fixed on that figure.
Jian Jixing heard Sheng Ruxi’s voice. It seemed a little hoarse. She didn’t know what emotion had come up now.
“Didn’t you like anything?” Jian Jixing’s voice tightened for a moment. She asked: “There are many more outside.”
“No. I wanted to say that this door wasn’t closed. I’m done changing,” Sheng Ruxi said, staring at the gap. “Did you know?”
Jian Jixing blinked twice. She didn’t react for a moment and didn’t turn around. Instead, she asked.
“Do you need me to close it tightly?”
Sheng Ruxi suddenly pulled the door all the way open. Jian Jixing was slightly surprised and turned to look at her.
“Throw that cheongsam in the trash. I don’t want it anymore,” Sheng Ruxi said. She walked past Jian Jixing and went out.
Jian Jixing didn’t know what Sheng Ruxi was angry about. Thankfully, these clothes fit Sheng Ruxi’s body perfectly. But Sheng Ruxi was walking out barefoot. She always didn’t like to wear shoes.
Now was a special time, and it was better to be careful. Jian Jixing took a pair of thin socks in the walk-in closet. Before she left, she looked at the rich green cheongsam in the dirty laundry basket, and her eyes darkened.
It was something prepared by the crew. Although it was beautiful, it was only valuable when it was on Sheng Ruxi’s body.
It was okay to throw it away. She would pay for it.
Jian Jixing quickly followed Sheng Ruxi and said in a low voice: “Go sit on the sofa.”
Sheng Ruxi didn’t turn around. She could still hear Jian Jixing’s phone buzzing. She was annoyed. It was really hard for her to speak properly: “If you’re busy, just go. You don’t need to stay here.”
Didn’t she know Jian Jixing? Work was more important than anything else. She could not come to see her for two days for the sake of work.
Jian Jixing didn’t say anything else, but she still held the two socks in her hands. She followed Sheng Ruxi out. Manwen was still waiting outside. Sheng Ruxi did sit down on the sofa, but she leaned against the backrest and looked up at Jian Jixing, who was standing in front of her.
Jian Jixing had already sent a voice message on her phone. She wasn’t hiding it. Sheng Ruxi could hear that Jian Jixing was communicating with Han Han’s side. Many things still needed Jian Jixing to go there personally. The outside was indeed a complete mess.
“What do you want?”
Jian Jixing put away her phone, stopped in front of Sheng Ruxi, and knelt down: “The floor is cold.”
Sheng Ruxi didn’t move. Jian Jixing then lowered her head, took Sheng Ruxi’s feet in her hands, and gently put on the socks for her.
“You rest first. If you need anything, you can find Manwen. I might come back a little late.” She paused and then said: “If you have anything you want to settle with Yu Qinglan, just tell me.”
After putting on the socks, the warmth slowly came. Sheng Ruxi subconsciously nodded, and then suddenly realized what Jian Jixing’s words meant. She frowned.
Jian Jixing stood up and walked to the door. Sheng Ruxi’s feet were on the soft carpet, but she felt that the warmth from before was gone. She looked at her toes. Jian Jixing had put on the socks for her, smoothing out every little wrinkle.
This was a person who, once she had a plan and a task, would do it perfectly. It was almost impossible to disrupt her rhythm.
Manwen was waiting on the side, not knowing how to remind Miss Sheng. Director Jian was standing at the door, seeming to be waiting for something.
But Sheng Ruxi never looked up.
In the end, it was Jian Jixing, whose hand had been on the doorknob for a long time, who spoke: “You can also tell me about things that are not related to this incident.”
When Sheng Ruxi looked up, Jian Jixing had already retracted her gaze and opened the door, but her voice carried back, “…As long as you want to find me, you can.”
