Chapter 320: Saving the Paranoid and Vengeful Business Leader 64
Wen Yang woke up just when the housekeeper knocked on the door to call him for dinner.
When he woke up, the room was pitch black, so dark that Wen Yang didn't realize where he was when he woke up.
It was a long time before she remembered that she was in Xue Shuran's room.
But when she turned on a small lamp on the bedside in the dark, she did not find Xue Shuran in the room. She asked the housekeeper through the door and found out that Xue Shuran had gone out for something while she was sleeping, so she said she would wait for Xue Shuran to come back and have dinner together.
After all, after Xue Shuran helped her take a bath, she put on a loose, long T-shirt for her and did not give her pajamas.
Although the T-shirt was long and wide, and would not be exposed even if she stood up, it was still a bit inappropriate to wear such clothes in front of outsiders, so she needed Xue Shuran to come back and help her put it on.
The butler standing outside the door replied, "Okay," and then left.
After the housekeeper left, Wen Yang wanted to play with her mobile phone to pass the time, but the palms of both hands were injured and she couldn't pick up the phone at all, so she had to give up the idea and lay back on the bed to continue resting her eyes.
But as time passed, the anesthetic injected around her wound during the stitches gradually wore off, and she began to feel the burning pain in her palm again, making her feel uneasy.
Just when Wen Yang was trying to find something to divert his attention, he suddenly heard the door knocking again.
If Shu Ran came back, she would probably go straight into the house without knocking on the door.
So Wen Yang subconsciously thought that the housekeeper wanted to see her for something.
So she asked, "Is that the housekeeper? What's going on?"
Unexpectedly, there was silence outside the door for a long while before a clear and cold male voice was heard: "It's me, Ji Xingyan."
Wen Yang was stunned for a moment.
Ji Xingyan, who was outside the door, heard no response from inside the house for a long time and thought something had happened to Wen Yang, so he turned the doorknob and prepared to go in and take a look.
"Wait!" Wen Yang heard the sound of the doorknob turning and shouted almost reflexively, then asked, "What do you want?"
"I just wanted to say that the meal downstairs is ready and you can go downstairs to eat." Ji Xingyan replied.
"I'll wait for Shu Ran to come back and eat together. I'm not hungry yet." Wen Yang replied, then she lowered her eyes to take a look at her current clothes. She didn't even have pajamas. If she appeared in front of Ji Xingyan like this, it would be a top-notch social death...
But she was indeed a little hungry now. In order to stay in good condition for filming this morning, she didn't eat much. As a result, she was hospitalized before lunch time. Later, she returned to the villa and slept until now.
So Wen Yang silently prayed in her heart that Xue Shuran would come back quickly to help her put on a pair of pants so that she could eat earlier, otherwise she might starve to death in the room.
Just as Wen Yang was praying silently in her heart, Ji Xingyan's words outside the door broke her defenses.
"Shu Ran has something to do today and probably won't be back until tomorrow morning. If you wait for her, you'll probably have to wait until breakfast tomorrow."
Wen Yang: “…”
Hearing Ji Xingyan's words, Wen Yang's heart sank.
But she still said stubbornly: "Wait a minute, I'm not hungry yet, I will go down by myself later."
"Okay." Ji Xingyan agreed readily.
When Wen Yang heard that there was no more sound outside the door, his nervous heart finally calmed down a little.
Thinking of what Ji Xingyan had just said, Xue Shuran had something to do and wouldn't be back tonight, she sighed helplessly.
People are iron, and rice is steel, so you panic if you don't eat a meal.
She hasn't eaten for two meals. If she doesn't eat tonight and waits for breakfast tomorrow, she will probably faint in the room from hypoglycemia.
Wen Yang could only grit his teeth and stand up from the bed, walking to the cloakroom in Xue Shuran's room. While protecting the wound on the palm of his hand and trying his best to prevent the stitches on the palm of his hand from being pulled by her movements, he carefully used the strength of his fingers to take out a pair of seemingly loose wide-leg pants from the closet.
But even though she was very careful, every slight force she exerted inevitably pulled the stitches on the palm of her hand, causing waves of stinging pain.
Wen Yang couldn't help but sweat on her forehead, but for the sake of dinner, she had to force herself to twist the corner of her pants with her fingers, lift one leg and step into the trouser leg.
However, just as she was about to take another step, she accidentally lost her balance and involuntarily leaned backward.
The moment she lost her balance, Wen Yang instinctively wanted to use her palms to support herself on the ground, but a flash of reason made her remember the stitches on her hand, so she could only helplessly let herself fall down without any protective measures.
With a dull thud, Wen Yang's body fell heavily to the floor. She lay on the ground, feeling the pain in her back. She was unable to move for a long time and could only wait quietly for the pain to pass.
Ji Xingyan stood outside the door and did not leave.
Suddenly, he heard a muffled sound from inside, which sounded like something fell to the ground.
He knocked on the door a few more times, but this time there was no response from inside.
Out of concern, Ji Xingyan pushed the door open and walked in.
After entering the room, Ji Xingyan quickly scanned the room, but did not see Wen Yang. The curtains in the room were closed, and only the faint light of the bedside lamp could be seen.
Finally, Ji Xingyan's eyes fell on the light coming from the cloakroom, and he strode towards the cloakroom.
However, when he approached the cloakroom and pushed open the door, the scene before him made him breathless.
Wen Yang fell to the ground. His loose T-shirt looked untidy at the moment, and the collar was drooping. A patch of snow-white skin could be vaguely seen at the gap. As if realizing that his gaze was very rude, he coughed lightly twice and immediately asked, "What's wrong with you? Did you fall?" As he spoke, he walked towards Wen Yang.
Wen Yang was lying on the ground and was visibly startled when he saw the door of the cloakroom being pushed open. Then his face instantly turned red and his eyes became panicked and shy.
"You...how did you get in..." Wen Yang stuttered, frantically pulling at the hem of his T-shirt with his fingers, trying to hide his embarrassment.
She didn't expect Ji Xingyan to come in directly.
Ji Xingyan noticed Wen Yang's actions and realized his embarrassment, so he stopped, turned around, coughed lightly and explained: "I just heard a loud noise from outside, and then I knocked on the door several times, but there was no response from you, so I thought something happened in your room."
"I... I'm fine... I just didn't stand firmly just now..." Wen Yang hurriedly tried to use his elbows to support himself to get up.
After all, it is really funny to see him falling to the ground with only half of his pants on.
However, the more panicked she became, the more confused she became. Wen Yang originally wanted to stand up with her elbows, but a sudden pain in her back made her lose her balance again and fall back to the ground.
Hearing the muffled sound coming from beside him again, Ji Xingyan sighed, turned and walked towards Wen Yang.
