Once Upon A One Night Stand

Chapter 229



Seeing Shu Tian leave after signing the discharge papers, Li Han returned to the downstairs ward.

When he pushed the door open and went in, Jiang Chujing had been awake. She was sitting at the bedside and staring out the window. When she heard the sound behind, she turned around and withdraw her knees. She clasped hands around her legs and asked softly, "Has Shu Tian's father been discharged?"

"Yes." Li Han closed the door behind him with a calm look.

In his current state, he felt exhausted walking into this ward.

"Han, I know you blame me. I'm partly at fault. I admit that I didn't want to have a conflict at that time, but I didn't know why..." At this point, Jiang Chujing paused and her eyes reddened as if she was so aggrieved and regretful that she didn't know how to continue.

Li Han looked at her red eyes. He had ever cherished her as his own sister, but now he felt indifferent. Had she changed, or had he? Maybe they both had changed.

The man walked to the bedside and his eyes fell on her face. "Do as the treatment tells. Don't worry about anything else. You can go anywhere you want after you recover."

After a second of bemusement, Jiang Chujing played dumb with a smile. "I'm not going anywhere. I just want to stay by your side."

She looked over with tears in her eyes, as fragile as a flower swaying in the storm. "You know..."

However, although she was an unaggressive flower, she drove a wedge between Li Han and Shu Tian.

Li Han did not avoid her gaze but looked straight into her eyes. Instead of looking at her, he was scrutinizing her. "You can see what has happened when you stay by my side, so for your own good, I will let you go."

"I don't care!" Jiang Chujing shook her head instantly. "As long as I can stay by your side, I won't care about anything."

"Chu Jing." Li Han suddenly called her name in a deep and cold voice. For the first time, his eyes grew cold. "What you've done has crossed the line."

Jiang Chujing froze. It had been nearly a month since she woke up. During this period, he had never mentioned anything about Shu Changlei. She would panic at first, but then she gradually calmed down. She even thought that he was completely on her side in his heart, but she had never expected his plan to send her away again!

His companion in the ward these days was meaningless.

His blame on Shu Tian was nothing.

In the end, the one who could accompany him was not her, but that bitch!

All her efforts were useless. She knew that Li Han had misunderstood that Shu Tian pushed her down, so she was even more desperate. Even if he held this view, he still liked that woman! Jiang Chujing turned her face away, afraid that she would expose her inside hatred. She gritted her teeth, suppressing the surging emotions in her heart. "Han, do you really want me to leave?" "Not I want, but you." His voice was very rational as if he had seen everything clearly.

His calmness scared Jiang Chujing. She had mentioned her parents countless times, but now she didn't dare to mention them, afraid that it would disgust him." I know I am wrong, but I never want to hurt anyone, but Shu Tian, she almost killed me. Do you know how scared I was when I was pushed into the pool? But now you're asking me to leave. Maybe it's unnecessary for me to live in this world." "No. It's your life, not mine or anyone else's. Chu Jing, get fit and pursue the life you want."

"I want it too, okay?" Jiang Chujing raised her voice, but unfortunately, the long treatment had drained most of her strength. She was hoarse. "It isn't me who has caused all this. It is you! If it wasn't for you, I wouldn't have ended up alone, but I can't believe you want me to leave. Han, you've changed. You've changed so much that I almost don't know you..."

As she spoke, she became so agitated that tears rolled down her cheeks, as if Li Han had done something wrong to her.

"Chu Jing, I didn't do anything wrong to you. I just owe your parents. I hope you can understand. As long as I'm here, I'll protect you. But I can't give you anything more."

Jiang Chujing goggled at him, feeling the man was unreasonable. "You mean, you don't feel a little guilty about me?"

Her tearful eyes resembled that of her mother, who was lying on the hospital bed after the car accident. Her mother held Li Han's hand sadly and entrusted Jiang Chujing to him.

Li Han frowned and closed his eyes slowly because he was unable to face her eyes. He said with difficultly, "I don't mean that."

"Then what do you mean? Tell me." Jiang Chujing was determined to make it clear and come to the point.

She didn't care if he was her beloved or not. She just knew that if she hurt, she would hurt others even more!

Li Han had been tortured by such feelings for so many years, and he gradually became indifferent. If it wasn't for Shu Tian, he might have gotten used to Jiang Chujing's arrogance, but now he realized what his indulgence had brought to her.

"I will make the best arrangements for you to live the life you want, as long as you don't continue to meddle in the relationship between me and Shu Tian."

"Shu Tian doesn't trust you. It's a problem between you two, but none of my business." Jiang Chujing clearly saw the sadness in Li Han's eyes. She was best at prodding at the man's weakness. "If she believes you, you won't have been like this."

"It has anything to do with you." The man's hands, which were hanging by his sides, clenched inwardly. He tried his best to control his temper rationally. "Have a good rest. Thinking about it won't do you any good in recovery."

Then he turned around and walked out. It was a waste for him to take another look.

Jiang Chujing's eyes smoldered with anger. "Li Han! I can leave, as long as you can give me a commitment!"

The man stopped, but he did not look back. "What?"

Jiang Chujing took a deep breath and said word by word, "My parents passed away, and there are no other relatives by my side except my grandmother. Although she has been in a bad condition for so many years, I want to spend more time with her. When I am treated at home, I want to take time to see her."

When Li Han heard it, he suddenly turned around. He was told about Zhang Lancheng's condition, and now Jiang Chujing made such a demand. Was it a coincidence or... She had already known it?

He inquiringly looked at the slightest expression on her face. Jiang Chujing's heart was so thumping that she almost felt dizzy, but she still forced herself to look at him. "It is my last request. Can't you agree to it?"
