"You are more important than my life."
When these words fell into Qiao Yunshu's ears, it was as if a red-hot iron pool had been dropped into a calm lake. There was a crackling sound and ripples in the water.
If it were in the past, she would never believe such words, and firmly believed that they must be illusory love words spoken by a man. However, it turns out that Li Hanting did protect her in his arms first at the critical moment of life and death. This is absolutely true. It cannot be denied.
That indescribable emotion filled her chest, as if it was about to overflow, and traveled through every organ in her body.
Qiao Yunshu opened his mouth and was about to say something. Suddenly, the door of the ward was opened, and a group of professional doctors and nurses filed in.
"Mr. Li, you're awake. Are you feeling uncomfortable anywhere? Quickly, give Mr. Li a full body check."
Then everyone gathered around and began to examine his body professionally and orderly, making sure that every indicator on his body was accurate.
Qiao Yunshu stepped aside very consciously, but through the crowd of people, Li Hanting's dark eyes still fell on her without blinking, as if he wanted to see her like this forever. This look was really... It was too straightforward and undisguised, making Qiao Yunshu feel uncomfortable all over.
She lowered her head in a covert manner, and her eyes fell directly on the tips of her toes without raising them, thinking that she could avoid his burning gaze.
The group of doctors left the ward after being busy for a long time. As soon as they left, Li Hanting's personal assistant came in again.
Naturally, he came to report the details of the car accident to Li Hanting.
The car accident happened at a relatively busy intersection, so the moment the truck hit their luxury car, everyone around them was stunned.
These days, everyone is quite willing to help others. When they saw a major car accident, they immediately called the police and called an ambulance. There were also very enthusiastic and active people who gathered around to check on their injuries.
Wang Dafu, the instigator of the car accident, probably never thought about escaping, because he was going to jail himself, so he thought he would just stop doing anything and escape to seek revenge on Qiao Yunshu, and drag her to hell with him.
After the truck he drove collided with the luxury car, Wang Dafu himself suffered some injuries. The glass in the front of the car shattered to the ground, and one of his faces was pricked with blood from the fragments.
A group of onlookers immediately helped him subdue him with benches, brooms, mops and other weapons, and waited until the police arrived.
After several policemen arrived, they saw Wang Dafu gnashing his teeth. This man was originally a fugitive. He somehow escaped from the detention center and now he wanted to kill someone. With all the crimes put together, he could be sentenced to death. Not too much.
A shallow wrinkle formed between Li Hanting's brows. He has been in the shopping mall for so many years and looks at things very keenly. "Who is helping Wang Dafu behind his back? Have you found out?"
The assistant respectfully handed the investigation results to Li Hanting, who had a fractured hand being put in a plaster, and the other hand was being transfused, which was inconvenient. Upon seeing this, Qiao Yunshu immediately went to help him operate the tablet very considerately.
The distance between the two was so close that Li Hanting could smell the light fragrance emanating from her body, which smelled particularly good in the air filled with disinfectant.
Qiao Yunshu's long hair hung slightly in Li Hanting's palm, soft and smooth as silk.
His dark eyes wandered to the ends of her hair, as if every strand of hair on it was carrying her fragrance.
His throat moved up and down, and his heart felt itchy and a little uneasy, as if it had been lightly scratched by a feather.
If Qiao Yunshu hadn't noticed the strangeness of the man next to her at this moment, she would have been concentrating on the content on the tablet, her beautiful eyebrows tightly knitted, and she said angrily, "Li Xingyun has gone too far, and he has resorted to such dirty and dirty methods! We should be able to send him to jail this time, right?”
Li Hanting finally came back to his senses and temporarily put all the fanciful fragments in his mind behind him.
It turned out that it was not accidental that Wang Dafu escaped from the detention center, but Li Xingyun sent someone to find him and help him.
Li Xingyun's idea is also very simple. Since Li Hanting and Qiao Yunshu are close, and Wang Dafu hates Qiao Yunshu deeply, then he can use Wang Dafu's knife to kill Qiao Yunshu, and by the way, he can also kill Qiao Yunshu. Qiao Yunshu was with Li Hanting all day long, and he was the innocent one from beginning to end, and he would not have a drop of blood on his hands if he borrowed a knife to kill someone.
This was the first time Qiao Yunshu could see Li Xingyun's manipulation of people's hearts so intuitively, and he couldn't help but shudder, "This man's mind is too deep."
Li Hanting sneered, "He's always been like this."
Moreover, Li Xingyun also has one of the most fatal "advantages", that is, he has no weaknesses. On the surface, this person looks gentle and elegant, but in fact, he has the cold blood of a beast flowing in his bones.
He doesn't love anyone, and his relatives can be tools to achieve his goals. The only one he loves is himself, so this kind of person is often the hardest to deal with.
"It does give him a blow, but it's not a fatal blow."
Li Xingyun was too cautious in what he did. Even when he found someone to release Wang Dafu, that person completely cleared his relationship with him, and no matter how much he investigated, he could not be found.
And they were able to investigate this result because they used extraordinary means, so the evidence they investigated cannot be used as serious evidence to appear in court.
Qiao Yunshu was thoughtful and felt that it was too difficult for Li Hanting. Before, she felt that children from rich families like Li Hanting were born as the favored sons of heaven. Without having to do anything, you have already obtained the glory and wealth that others cannot have in their entire lives. There should be nothing dissatisfied about it.
But as the saying goes, good fortune and misfortune depend on it, and misfortune depends on blessing. No matter how prosperous and wealthy you may be, you will bear a corresponding degree of risk.
On the surface, Li Hanting enjoys luxury that ordinary people cannot enjoy, but since he was a child, he has also experienced a dangerous life that ordinary people cannot experience.
From the time he was kidnapped when he was young to now, he has been involved in a family feud, which is something that ordinary people cannot experience. If it were him, she really couldn't imagine having to be with her cousins who are related by blood. They were fighting to the death for power together.
If it were her, she would rather spend her life in such a normal way. Although no one is powerful and cannot enjoy a very comfortable life, at least she can spend the rest of her life peacefully with her relatives.
Even if she was born into a wealthy family, with her thoughts and methods, she would probably only become a tool and cannon fodder in the power struggle, and she would never survive the finale.
I didn't expect Li Xingyun to be so cunning and insidious. It's no wonder that Li Hanting had such a bad attitude towards him before. If it were her, she would be more straightforward about her disgust than Li Hanting. I'm afraid she would roll her eyes whenever she sees him.
Li Hanting seemed to have noticed the feeling of pity and pity in his eyes towards her. He laughed softly and joked, "What? Miss Qiao feels sorry for me."
Qiao Yunshu was touched by him, and a touch of pink rose inexplicably on the tip of her ears, but she firmly refused to admit it and said harshly, "You think too much, how can I sympathize with you? You are an evil capitalist, your bank card I won’t be able to earn the money in it in eight lifetimes.”
There was a small smile in his dark eyes, "Who said that? There is a position where Miss Qiao can earn this amount as soon as she takes office."
She blinked in confusion.
Among all the legal jobs in the world, is there such a lucrative position? Why didn't she know?
Qiao Yunshu was curious, "What can you do to earn so much?"
Li Hanting said slowly, "Of course I will be Mrs. Li. As soon as I take office, all the money in my bank card will be yours."
Qiao Yunshu was speechless and choked.
At this time, his own hands and legs were broken, but he still had the heart to make such a joke.
Her cheeks turned red, and she stood up angrily, "Now that you have the energy to joke, it seems that the injury is not serious. In that case, I will go back to my ward, and you can have a good rest."
Qiao Yunshu just stood up, and before she even had time to take a step, the man's big hand grabbed her wrist, "Don't go, I was wrong, I'm not kidding."
She turned around suddenly and found that the man was holding her hand and was injecting an IV. Because of his large movement, the needle on the back of the hand was pulled out a little, and the white gauze was stained with red blood. Come on.
She hurriedly held Li Hanting's hand and said, "You're crazy! This is already the case. Why do you still have to make such drastic movements? Are you afraid that you won't be injured badly enough?"
It was rare for him to see her show such an anxious look, "I'm sorry."
Qiao Yunshu laughed dumbly, "What are you apologizing for? Anyway, be more careful next time, take care of your body more, and don't be reckless."
Li Hanting lowered his head and opened his slender eyelashes, casting a small shadow under his eyelids. He looked a little lonely and pitiful, which made Qiao Yunshu think of a big dog caught in the rain on a rainy night.
He said, "I just want to stay with you a little longer and see you a little longer."
Qiao Yunshu said with a straight face, "Fake words, your wound doesn't hurt anymore?"
Li Hanting said truthfully, "It still hurts, but as soon as I see you, it won't hurt so much."
After all, she didn't leave and continued to sit down. After hearing what he said, she said in a strong tone, "Since you know it hurts, why did you protect me just now? It's not like I don't have the ability to protect myself."
If Li Hanting hadn't protected her, he wouldn't have been so seriously injured. The injuries between the two of them would have been equally divided at most.
It wouldn't be like this now, where she was standing in Hanting unscathed, but with broken bones and a concussion.
"I can't help it. My first reaction was to protect you. It was my instinct to protect you. I didn't have time to think about it that much at the time. I just thought it was enough for you to be well."
"And if you're hurt, it hurts me too."
Qiao Yunshu didn't react, and sneered when he heard this, "I'm injured, why do you feel pain? You want to say that we both feel the same way."
Her figure was clearly reflected in his deep and dark eyes, his expression was very serious, and there was no trace of joking at all, "No, you are hurt, I will feel bad for you, and I will blame myself very much."
"Why do you blame yourself? When danger occurs, it is everyone's instinct to escape. Even if you instinctively protect yourself at the moment of the car accident and fail to protect me, I will not have any bad opinion of you. Come on, this is human nature and I can understand it."
Thinking about it from his perspective, at the moment of the car accident, Qiao Yunshu himself chose to protect his head first. It is human nature to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages.
"It is indeed human's instinct to escape when danger occurs, but sometimes there is another instinct that is stronger than the instinct to survive, and that is love."
Li Hanting said word for word, "If it was grandma or An Naonao sitting next to you at that time, when the car accident happened, you would definitely make the same choice as me."
Qiao Yunshu fell silent.
Indeed, if the people sitting next to her at that time were grandma or An An and Nao Nao, she would definitely choose to protect their lives as soon as possible.
However, Qiao Yunshu did not expect that in Li Hanting's heart, she was already so important that she was even more valuable than his own life.
Li Hanting gently shook her hand, "I didn't say these words to gain any favor in front of you, nor did I use him to blackmail you into accepting my intention. I just didn't want you to feel so guilty. It was my choice to protect you. , whether you accept this friendship or not, it is your own choice, and I have no right to interfere."
Before he finished speaking, Qiao Yunshu raised his head and looked at him in astonishment.
Is this still Li Hanting? Why does he seem to be a different person?
In the past, after Li Hanting understood his feelings for her, he seemed to want her to be with him at all costs, but now he seems to have had his soul replaced, and he has become so respectful of her choices and understanding of hers. Feel.
Perhaps Qiao Yunshu's surprised look was too obvious. After noticing this, the man laughed at himself, "Do you think it's a bit incredible to hear these words coming from my mouth?"
"I was really wrong before. I had never been rejected by anyone. I took it for granted that I had to get what I wanted. But it is different now. I have learned that when I love someone, I must respect them. Pursuing you is my own." It’s a personal matter, and it’s your right to accept it or not. No matter what the final result is, I will never feel sorry for myself, let alone blame all my mistakes on you.”
Qiao Yunshu was silent for a long time before saying, "You have indeed changed a lot."
Li Hanting asked, "Isn't it too late to change now?"
