Chapter 63: Proof of Love and Growth (2)
"Don't look at me like that. I'm not as ruthless as you think. It was you who changed me."
"...What about Han?"
As soon as Yin Yin mentioned Feng Qinghan, Zhou Yan felt so angry that he stood up from the bed and turned his back to Yin Yin, obviously angry.
"Don't worry about others when your condition has just improved. It is his responsibility that you have become like this."
"It has nothing to do with him. I forced him to take me out."
"Maybe he is right, but he didn't refuse. He agreed even though he knew you were in poor health. Shouldn't he be punished?"
"I should be the one who should be punished. If I hadn't forced him, he wouldn't have agreed. Besides, falling ill is my own fault and has nothing to do with others."
Yinyin may not know that the more she takes all the responsibility on herself, the angrier Zhou Yan will be. His feelings are understandable, but he just can't stand Yinyin protecting someone else, especially a man, and Feng Qinghan. Zhou Yan can't stand it even more. Knowing that Feng Qinghan has feelings for Yinyin, he can't pretend not to see it. If Yinyin hadn't kept him in the palace, he would have probably gotten rid of him secretly long ago.
There was no point in arguing with Yin Yin about these things, so Zhou Yan could only remain silent. His silence made Yin Yin feel guilty, and she didn't dare to speak anymore.
After a while.
"I'll let him go, so you don't have to worry."
"Huh?"
"But not now. As a punishment for getting you involved by taking you out, I can't let him go so easily."
“Yan…”
"Don't say any more. This is the least I can do. If you keep talking, I can't guarantee that I won't do something to him."
After saying this, Yin Yin couldn't say anything more. She was interrupted by Zhou Yan before she even opened her mouth. It was obvious that Zhou Yan's current mood was not something she could suppress.
"…Then can I ask you something?"
"About the perpetrators and the people involved who made you sick?"
"……Um."
As soon as Zhou Yan opened his mouth, he had already expressed what she was thinking. Yin Yin could only nod her head. If she had known that Zhou Yan would know, it seemed that he should have known most of it. She didn't need to know how things ended after she fell into a coma. What she wanted to know was how things were handled after that. Given Zhou Yan's personality, Yin Yin was already starting to worry.
"Captain Ma is a competent man. His only shortcoming is that he dotes on . The Wen and Luo families have already made an engagement, but he used his power to interfere. And I already know that Ma Feng relies on his father being a captain to do nothing all day, to be idle, and to be a playboy. I could have just given him a warning, but he shouldn't have put his dirty hands on you this time. I have already detained him in the prison to receive the punishment he deserves. As for the Wen and Luo families, they can complete the engagement without any scruples."
"Captain Ma——"
"Of course he should be dismissed. Even though he can abide by his duties in public affairs, he indulges his son in rampant behavior. How can we forgive him?"
From Zhou Yan's words, Yin Yin already knew that everyone involved in this incident had received the due punishment. Although Wen Shao and Luo Yan could be together because of this, Yin Yin always felt that something was wrong. At this point, she had no way to intervene in the punishment, but why did she always feel that it was not that simple? The cause of the incident was all caused by her. Was this really the only way for her to know that the situation had been resolved later?
"Don't ask about this matter anymore. What you need to do now is to rest well."
Zhou Yan sat back on the bed and reached out to touch Yin Yin's face. More than anything else, he only cared about Yin Yin.
"……Um."
"Next time, if you want to go out, just tell me. It's okay for two people to go out, but don't do it like this time. Do you know how worried I am?"
"sorry."
"No need to apologize. I don't want to restrict you too much, or even restrict you, but you are the only one I want to compensate and protect as much as I can. It doesn't matter if you can respond to me or not, as long as you can stay by my side, that's enough."
In Zhou Yan's words, which contained infinite affection, Yin Yin paid attention to the word "compensation". What was the connection between Zhou Yan and her? Every time she saw the faint sadness in Zhou Yan's eyes, she knew that she couldn't reveal it. If she knew the meaning, it would definitely destroy the bond between her and Zhou Yan so far, and at the same time, it would also send both of them into the abyss of hell and fall into eternal and indelible pain. Why did she feel this way? Yin Yin didn't know, and now she didn't want to know.
As a result, Yin Yin knew about it but could not ask or do anything. She could only maintain her own and Zhou Yan's positions and suppress her thoughts.
Not long after, Xiuying came back with the meal and medicine. She felt very grateful that nothing had happened. When the meal and medicine were brought to Yinyin, Zhou Yan had already brought the bowl and chopsticks before Xiuying could speak. It was obvious that Zhou Yan intended to feed Yinyin himself.
[The northern wing of the palace].
This is Feng Qinghan's residence in the palace. There are two guards guarding his door, which means he is imprisoned in his room! The two guards outside the door are doing their duty, but Feng Qinghan in the room is relaxed and at ease. He opens the window and fans himself, looking at the scenery outside. He does not have the slightest feeling of being imprisoned or any other related attitude...
