Chapter 217 Guarding Little Nian

d to refuse, as Warmth is a woman who keeps herself pure, but under the encouragement of her friends, she agreed and drank quite a bit of alcohol, arriving at the GK Eastern International Hotel on flo...Chapter 217: Protecting Little Nian

Zhao Yuning was chased down the stairs by her bodyguards, and she felt indignant. She was very worried about Tang Shuwen; she had heard that the situation wasn't optimistic, and she feared something might happen to him. If it weren't for today's wedding ceremony, others wouldn't have found an opportunity to act.

Yesterday, when Tang Si and Wen Lan left, Zhao Yuning overheard their conversation. She learned that Tang Shuwen had been shot while protecting Little Nian. Zhao Yuning bit her lip; would he risk his life to protect his son

Shuwen, who are you protecting Is it her

Don't you care about how she feels

Aren't you the one who said that you don’t love Chen Xueru and never treated Little Nian as your son Then why would you risk everything for them, even your own life

The vows you once made, the tenderness you once shared—do you not care about any of those memories

Before he got married, he came to tell her that they were finished. He admitted it was his fault and said he wouldn't refuse help from the Tang family in the future if needed. But at the same time, he refused to have anything more to do with her.

He had told Chen Xueru he would comply with her wishes.

But what about his promises to Zhao Yuning Did he remember those

Tang Shuwen, how could you treat me so cruelly.

She thought that if the child were to die tragically, Tang Shuwen and Chen Xueru's marriage would end.

But instead, he risked his life to protect him.

Doesn’t he care about her anymore

How could feelings change so quickly in such a short time

Zhao Yuning clung to the wall, sobbing as sharp pain surged in her chest. She felt warmth between her legs and something flowing out; she turned pale, pressed a hand on her lower abdomen, and suffered in agony.

A nurse passing by saw her state and hurried over to support her, but Zhao Yuning waved the nurse away and stumbled into the elevator.

The nurse girl looked at the few drops of blood on the floor and gasped out loud.

Tang Shuwen survived those three days and was moved to a VIP ward.

Everyone in the Tang family breathed a sigh of relief; he had overcome death and returned to them. Chen Xier thanked heaven and earth, tears falling from gratitude; she really did owe Tang Shuwen this time.

If it weren't for Tang Shuwen stepping in front of her, the bullet would have hit Xiao Nian instead.

How could Xiao Nian survive a bullet

If one were to say that on that night, Tang Shuwen had grasped the key to unlocking her heart and with his efforts during the wedding, she became even more determined to give him that key; after this event, he had completely opened up her heart.

No matter what his original intention was or how much fear there was for the future, she would put aside all mental barriers, let go of past hardships, and firmly walk with him. These were the things she thought about most during those three days.

To be able to risk everything to save her son whom he hated before and also be so filial, even if his reputation was poor, she knew that she had fallen deeply for him.

When Tang Shuwen woke up, Chen Xier was lying on his hospital bed resting. He moved his hand slightly, grasping hers; her hand had been holding onto his all along, and Tang Shuwen's heart immediately calmed down.

The sunlight was bright; the curtains were already open. He found it blinding and kept opening and closing his eyes before feeling better after a while. There was another bed beside him, why didn't she go sleep there instead of lying on top of him

"Brother, you're awake" Tang Mandong came in with breakfast and joyfully ran over; Tang Shuwen shook his head to signal her not to disturb Chen Xier. Tang Mandong was very happy and rushed out to call Tang Si and Wen Lan.

She then entered the room, her footsteps lighter.

She mentioned it several times and said that Chen Xieru had been very hardworking; these few days, except for washing up and eating meals, she hardly left the hospital, always by his side. When Tang Shuwen heard this, warmth filled her heart, and she asked Xiao Nian again.

Tang Mandong was afraid that too much worry would be detrimental to Tang Shuwen's recovery, so she only said that Xiao Nian was safe and sound, which put Tang Shuwen at ease.

After Chen Xieru regained consciousness, Tang Mandong tactfully left the ward.

Their gazes intertwined as if they wanted to see through each other. Chen Xieru's heart ached; she pressed her face against his hand back, full of nostalgia and emotion. There was no bride in this world like her who, three days after marriage, would be on tenterhooks, deeply fearing that her husband might leave her forever or that her son might never speak again. All the worries and tears were hidden behind a pretense of strength.

Now that he had woken up, she could finally rest for a bit, no longer pretending everything was fine, no longer pretending to be strong.

Tears moistened his hand back; Tang Shuwen wanted to comfort her but couldn't move the other hand. "Foolish woman, stop crying. I saw you crying when I woke up, how unlucky!"

Chen Xieru felt even more wronged in her heart. When Tang Shuwen tried to sit up, a sharp pain shot through his chest; Chen Xieru was flustered and hurriedly came over to support him, tears welling in her eyes as she scolded him, pressing down on his shoulders so he wouldn't move around.

Tang Shuwen smiled at her; sensing that it was intentional, Chen Xieru's gaze turned solemn. Tang Shuwen said, however, "Sorry for causing you worry."

She shook her head, and Tang Shuwen reached out to wipe away her tears, his eyes fixated on hers, filled with warmth at this moment. Chen Xieru held his hand, not knowing how to express the gratitude and emotion in her heart.

Seemingly understanding her thoughts, he softly said, "Do you know what I was thinking when I got shot"

She shook her head; Tang Shuwen clasped her fingers tightly, his gaze gentle yet distant, gradually revealing sincerity. He continued, "If Xiao Nian is alright, you must be very happy."

Tears welled up in Chen Xieru's eyes as she buried her face in his shoulder and sobbed softly.

Xiao Nian is fine, but he must also be okay. Moreover, Xiao Nian... just thinking that Xiao Nian hasn't spoken a word the entire time and Tang Shuwen lies there so weakly makes her heart ache uncontrollably.

"If I knew waking up would make you cry, I wouldn’t have woken up in such a hurry. I could’ve stayed unconscious longer; don’t bother me," said Tang Shuwen rather shamelessly as he closed his eyes, seemingly ready to fall back into an unconscious state.

Chen Xueru quickly stood up and wiped away her tears; she wouldn’t cry anymore.

Tang Shuwen smiled gently. "That’s better."

"Xiao Nian is fine, don’t worry about it," said Chen Xueru. Tang Shuwen nodded as he stroked the bruises on his face tenderly; her appearance was haggard too, just like their son’s.

"You didn’t shave me Am I ugly" Tang Shuwen wasn’t satisfied with how he looked, going from a gentleman to a man with stubble overnight hurt his image.

"Very manly."

"Liar!"

"Really," Chen Xueru chuckled; for men, appearance wasn’t that important, right

"I don’t believe you." Tang Shuwen pouted and stared at her lips. "You need to prove it."

How do I prove it

Tang Shuwen sighed; was this something a twenty-something girl would say With such obvious intentions, he still couldn’t figure it out. Tang Shuwen said, "Xueru, give me some reward."

She didn’t understand what he meant as she sighed and jokingly said, "Considering how brave I was in risking my life to save our son, don’t you think a little reward from his mother is reasonable"

"What kind of reward do you wantou really going to have dinner with General Manager Ye""How dare I not go""I dare not!""Need I ask" Director Li waved his hand and said, "Everyone listen up, General Manager Ye is treating us to a mea...
