Married to a man in Northwest China, the delicate wife with a soft waist is spoiled rotten by the ro

Chapter 63 Visiting Lin Miao

Qi Yan locked the door, turned around and looked at the lit living room. A slight smile appeared on his lips, and he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

When he entered the house, he saw Ji Sisi in his room, the woman's petite figure tidying up.

Ji Sisi noticed a gaze and turned her head to meet Qi Yan's eyes.

For some reason, she had a feeling of being caught red-handed. Logically speaking, she and Qi Yan had already obtained their marriage certificate and should be able to live in the same room.

But the thought of doing that kind of thing made her heart pound. She had no experience and wasn't ready at all.

Seeing the burning intensity in Qi Yan's eyes, Ji Sisi became even more nervous.

“I gave my room to Ji Nian last night. Now that she’s gone and you’re back, I’ll move back first and come back after the wedding banquet…”

She felt that she had made herself clear enough.

Qi Yan just wanted to see her more; it had been so long since they last met, and he missed her terribly.

Unexpectedly, Sisi misunderstood him. Seeing her flustered explanation and shy little expression, Qi Yan couldn't help but tease her.

Qi Yan closed the door behind him and went inside.

Ji Sisi's heart skipped a beat. Could it be that this man wouldn't be able to hold back tonight?

She took two steps back, her mind frantically searching for an excuse to brush him off without seeming too deliberate.
Heart disease? But what if I tell him and scare him, and he never touches me again?
Just as Ji Sisi was still brainstorming, she was embraced in a warm hug, the unique scent of male hormones lingering around her nose.

Qi Yan's strong and broad arms gave people a great sense of security.

"Don't worry, I won't touch you until you're ready. I just missed you and wanted to hug you."

He was captivated by that embrace before he left for far too long.

After a month, Qi Yan was finally able to hold the sweet and soft Sisi in his arms, and his smile stretched almost to his ears.

If his subordinates saw this, they would definitely think the man in front of them was a stranger.

Ji Sisi's face flushed red instantly, and she couldn't help but let her mind wander. Wasn't this supposed to be something that could be done right on their wedding night...?

"Sisi, do you know something? Is that why you were so nervous before we left?"

Ji Sisi closed her eyes and buried her head even deeper.

Sure enough, she made it too obvious.

“My dad left suddenly. The guesthouse he was staying in caught fire and burned to the ground. Ever since then, I’ve been especially afraid of people around me suddenly leaving. Do you think I’m making a mountain out of a molehill? I just hope you can be safe and sound.”

Mentioning her father's death, the original owner's emotions immediately sombered, and Ji Sisi, affected by her emotions, spoke in a muffled voice.

Ji Sisi's words made Qi Yan feel a pang of heartache. He was truly despicable for asking such hurtful questions to Sisi.

He actually dared to doubt Sisi; Qi Yan wished he could slap himself right now.

"No, it was because of your medicine and clothes that Shimin and I were saved. Sisi, you saved my life again. I can never repay you in this life, so let's be together in the next life too."

Ji Sisi was amused: "What era are we living in? You're still talking about offering yourself in marriage? Besides, whether I'll agree or not is another matter."

"I'm glad the items are useful. Of course, if possible, I hope I never need them. Can you tell me what dangers you encountered this time?"

Ji Sisi looked up and asked Qi Yan.

Qi Yan nodded without hesitation and began to explain to Ji Sisi.

After escaping from that group of people, they encountered a herdsman who was out hunting at night. It was because of this encounter that Fang Shiming's life was saved by sheer luck.

Less than three days after they were transferred to a clinic, the same group of people came back and surrounded the ward, intending to take him and Fang Shiming away. Qi Yan fought with the group, trying his best to buy time. Fortunately, at the last moment, their men arrived.

Qi Yan recalled the past, "When they couldn't kidnap us, those four people tried to kill me and Shiming. In order to protect Shiming, three of them were forcibly executed, and I chased after the remaining one and subdued him."

Qi Yan suddenly stopped and then laughed.

"The remaining man tried to ambush me several times but failed. It's amazing, actually your father's clothes can't even be pierced by a knife."

Ji Sisi felt terrified just listening to it, and her face was full of worry.

"Besides your upper body, are you injured anywhere else?" Ji Sisi asked, her hands reaching out to touch Qi Yan's thigh. Just as she touched him, she heard the man hiss and gasp.

Through the fabric, Ji Sisi felt the bandages inside.

"Why didn't you say so earlier? You stood outside for so long and then went to the station to call someone."

Qi Yan was injured in his right thigh.

"The stab wound isn't serious; it'll heal after a while," Qi Yan comforted Ji Sisi. To prove it wasn't serious, he stood up and jumped up and down. "Look."

Seeing how indifferent he was to his health, Ji Sisi's face darkened, and she slapped Qi Yan's wound hard.

Instantly, Qi Yan was enveloped in pain. His face turned pale with pain, and he closed his eyes tightly to try and relieve the pain.

Ji Sisi laughed in exasperation, "Didn't you say it didn't hurt?"

"By the way, is Miaomiao alright?"

Just now, Ji Sisi heard Qi Yan say that the group of people only recognized him and Fang Shiming, and attacked everyone else indiscriminately, making the scene extremely chaotic.

Ji Sisi was worried about Lin Miao.

Qi Yan's expression turned grave. He shook his head. "She's fine, but Pei Feng is seriously injured. His nose is broken, and three of his ribs are broken. He took a knife for Lin Miao and hasn't woken up yet. Uncle Lin and Aunt Shen have already come from the capital. They'll probably take Pei Feng back to the capital for treatment once he's recovered a bit."

Ji Sisi instinctively covered her mouth, unable to speak, and her expression became serious.

Images of Lin Peifeng resurfaced in my mind—such a cheerful and smiling boy. I couldn't imagine that he was now lying in a hospital bed, severely injured.

Looking at the bracelet on her wrist, Ji Sisi thought of what the system had said: the spiritual spring water could restore bodily functions. Considering Xiao Huihui's recovery speed over the past two days, perhaps the spiritual spring water could save Lin Peifeng.

"So where is he now?"

"The First People's Hospital. The institute will send a car to visit them tomorrow. There are still a few injured comrades there who need to be brought back. I'm going there too, and I probably won't be back until the day after tomorrow."

Ji Sisi fell into deep thought, wondering how to get Qi Yan to bring the spiritual spring water to Lin Peifeng to drink without it seeming abrupt.

Seeing that Ji Sisi didn't speak, Qi Yan thought she was angry.

"Sisi, I'm so sorry about this. I haven't even had two proper days with you before I have to leave. But Peifeng isn't just my colleague, he's also my brother..."

Ji Sisi came to her senses.

“You haven’t wronged me. Can I go with you? I don’t know if Lin Miao’s parents have arrived yet. If Miao Miao is alone at the hospital, she will definitely be very sad. I want to go see her.”

Qi Yan was slightly taken aback, realizing that what she said made sense.

He heard from the director that Lin Miao's mental state was not good. If Lin Peifeng did not wake up and Lin Miao could not resolve her inner conflict, she would most likely leave the research institute.

"Okay, I'll go and apply to the director tomorrow."
