C69 Let Me Help You Okay?(1)
Si Jingchen's gaze lingered on Ruan Xihan's body, his eyes filled with worry that could not be resolved. After a long while, he let out a soft sigh.
"Then... I'll take you home. "
Home?
How was Jin Yanchen her home?
Even if she went back, how would she face Jin Yanchen?
Ruan Xihan was a bit lost. She shook her head and said, "I don't want to go back."
Si Jingchen's narrowed eyes deepened, and the smile on his face froze.
While he was studying abroad, what had happened to Ruan Xihan? What had she experienced?
"Then I'll take you to the hotel. It's already late at night, and it's not safe for a girl to wander the streets."
Ruan Xihan wanted to reject Si Qianchen's good intentions, but immediately reached out to touch her clothes. When she realized that she was broke, she nodded her head.
"Si Qianchen, thank you."
Si Jingchen gently rubbed her head and then gently said, "I don't want you to be so polite with me. After knowing each other for so many years, doing this much for you is nothing at all."
In the three years that they had left the Ruan Family, what Ruan Xihan feared the most was to owe others, so whenever someone wanted to get close to her, she subconsciously wanted to avoid them.
Even if it was Si Jingchen, this student of his for so many years, he was no exception.
A bitter smile appeared on the corner of Ruan Xi Han's mouth and a hint of alienation flashed across her bloodshot eyes.
"No matter what, you have helped me. It is only right for you to say thank you."
When Si Jingchen saw that Ruan Xihan was adamant, he let her go. It was just an apology, so he didn't say anything.
"Then let's go. The weather is a bit cold. You'll catch a cold if we stay any longer."
Si Qianchen softly said as he put on Ruan Xianhan's suit and pressed on her shoulder.
Ruan Xihan felt the warmth from the suit and her heart warmed. She slightly raised her eyes and nodded to him. Instead of the intense alienation from before, she was.
Si Qianchen held her by the shoulder and walked to the car. He opened the car door for her with care and gentleness before fastening her seat belt.
Blue Morning Hotel
Si Jingchen had opened a presidential suite with Ruan Xihan and then ordered dinner for her.
Although Ruan Xihan was unhappy, she still couldn't bear to starve herself. After she finished her dinner in a neither slow nor slow manner, Si Jingchen sat next to her the entire time and silently looked at her. He actually made her feel a bit embarrassed.
After eating, Ruan Xihan lightly leaned against the sofa and closed her eyes to rest.
Ruan Xihan was wearing a shirt with a round collar, and the kiss mark on her neck was clearly visible.
Those kiss marks stung Si Jingchen's eyes, and for a long time he couldn't recover his wits. After a long time, he slowly asked.
"Who bullied you? The thing on your neck is... "
Ruan Xihan opened her eyes slightly and looked at Si Jingchen through the crack in her hand. Her small, fair face was emotionless.
'It's nothing, I was bitten by a dog.
No need to laugh, what Si Jingchen said was Jin Yanchen's masterpiece.
Ruan Xihan's tone was very calm, as if she was narrating something that had nothing to do with her.
Si Jingchen wasn't a child, so he naturally didn't believe it.
His slightly pursed lips were white, his brown eyes had a tinge of pain, and his serious face was unshakable.
"Since you don't want to say it, then I will definitely send someone to investigate. My Si Family has been in the military for so many years, it's easy to investigate a matter."
The Si Family had been in the army and in politics for many years. Naturally, they had managed their own forces.
Ruan Xihan frowned slightly as a hint of pain and surprise flashed through her black eyes.
The most surprising thing was that she didn't expect him to be willing to use his family's influence for her.
The pain was that the so-called bullying came from a person who stayed with him day and night.
"No need, you'd better not interfere in this matter."
Regardless of whether it was Si Jingchen or Jin Yanchen, she didn't want to cause unnecessary displeasure because of her.
Ruan Xihan's tone was very calm, but her intention to reject was very clear.
Ruan Xihan's estrangement and politeness caused Si Jingchen to feel uncomfortable, but his face still wore a bright and beautiful smile.
"You're afraid of getting me into trouble, aren't you?"
Si Jingchen's tone was very gentle, his eyes were filled with exploration, and his handsome face was filled with anticipation.
Ruan Xihan was stunned as she did not expect Ximen Chen to be so direct. Shock was written all over Little Qiao's face.
After a long time, Ruan Xihan shook his head and whispered, "After leaving the Ruan Family for so many years, the thing I'm least afraid of is getting into trouble."
It was just a few short words, but they were filled with sorrow.
Si Jingchen was stunned for a second, his eyes filled with love.
What happened to her in the three years he was gone?
She was so strong that she didn't seem like a girl.
"Xiao Han, what happened to you in the past few years? Why did you leave the Ruan Family?"
Si Jingchen doubtfully asked.
Ruan Xihan was slightly stunned as an unnoticeable expression flashed across her beautiful face.
"If you search online, you'll find out everything."
It was as calm as water, but there was not a trace of warmth in it.
Si Jingchen was even more astonished. He took out his phone and sent a text message to his assistant before continuing to chat with Ruan Xihan.
Not long later, the assistant sent over all of Ruan Xihan's information.
Si Jingchen looked at his phone, the color of his face turning from green to white, looking extremely ugly.
Ruan Xihan looked at her and gave a self-deprecating smile before slowly closing her eyes, enjoying the moment of peace.
Things had already happened for so many years that it was no longer a private matter. Since Si Jiaxi knew about it in the morning, it would have been better to know about it as early as possible.
After a long while, Si Jingchen slowly raised his eyes and looked at Ruan Xihan's tranquil face with a complicated expression.
"I've been hard on you for so many years."
Ruan Xihan squinted her eyes and remained expressionless. She didn't seem to be moved by his words. She only lightly clenched her fingers, showing the depths of her heart.
"The photos from that day were not ps. They really happened three years ago, at my wedding."
There was not a single ripple in Ruan Xihan's beautiful eyes. Her words were plain and there was no warmth in them, but Si Jingchen felt extremely sorrowful when he heard them.
Si Jingchen walked to Ruan Xihan's side and lightly pursed his lips. He extended his slender hand and gently held the small hand that had been placed on her stomach, giving her a trace of encouragement.
"Xiao Han, even if that matter was real, I still believe that you were framed, no matter if it was three years ago or three years later."
Si Jingchen's words were as delicate as the spring wind, sweeping past Ruan Xihan's face and into her ears, causing her heart that was riddled with holes to tremble.
Ruan Xihan's eyes widened as she blankly stared at Si Jingchen. For a moment, she didn't know what to say.
After a long time, Ruan Xihan rotated his black eyes, and a trace of emotion appeared on his small, pale face.
