"Sleep now, and tomorrow I'll take you to the hospital." Li Hao wrapped his arms around Lin Xiao, noticing that she was tired from the day.
Lin Xiao could sense what was on Li Hao's mind and had a good idea of why he felt that way. She didn't want him to misunderstand. "Is it because of Wang Lei?" she asked cautiously.
"Just sleep," Li Hao replied, feeling a bit embarrassed as Lin Xiao seemed to see right through him.
Lin Xiao's initial guess turned into certainty as she listened to his tone. "Actually, I've been spending time with Wang Lei for over a month," she confessed.
During that time, she had been heartbroken over the emotional turmoil caused by the relationship between Bai Xue and Li Hao. Kong Youyou had suggested starting a new romance, which led her to connect with Wang Lei.
It was precisely because she had spent more than a month with Wang Lei that she realized, despite how well others treated her or how outstanding they were, her heart only belonged to Li Hao.
She recounted how Wang Lei had been reassigned to the Provincial Discipline Inspection Commission and how he had expressed his feelings for her.
Li Hao felt a pang of pain upon realizing the depth of Lin Xiao's connection with Wang Lei. He regretted the hurt he had caused her and felt foolish for his earlier jealousy.
"I have nothing with Wang Lei; I only love you. I've always only loved you," Lin Xiao declared, discovering that true love makes it easy to express one's feelings.
"I know. It's just that today, seeing you in danger and knowing he could protect you made me jealous," he admitted, revealing his vulnerability in response to Lin Xiao's honesty.
"You reached out to me? Why didn't you tell me?" Lin Xiao's concern was always centered around Li Hao.
"When I took Tian Tian out, I heard something happened in Gengwei Town. After I dropped her off at home and rushed back, the Special Police had already arrived."
Lin Xiao felt as if she could never love him enough. She thought about what it would mean to give up everything and follow Li Hao to another place; she wasn't willing to do that.
Yet Li Hao had done just that for her.
"Husband, I love you," Lin Xiao said as she turned over and lay on top of him.
"Be careful; you're still hurt," Li Hao said gently, shifting slightly to embrace her in his arms. "Just sleep."
"Are you not angry anymore?" Lin Xiao teased as she playfully scratched his waist.
Li Hao stirred slightly, half threatening and half pleading, "Just be good, and I won't be angry. Just sleep."
Lin Xiao had a day full of energy and fell asleep in less than a minute.
In the deep of night, Li Hao held Lin Xiao tightly, unable to sleep for a long time. For the first time, he questioned whether it was right to guard Lin Xiao like this. Would it put too much pressure on her?
The next day, the Special Police had all withdrawn, leaving only a few people in the interrogation room at the police station. When Lin Xiao received a call from Wang Lei, she hesitated for three seconds before answering.
"Did you break your resistance today?"
"My husband took me through it."
"I wanted to talk to you about yesterday's interrogation."
"Are you in Gengxu Town?" Lin Xiao was somewhat surprised that Wang Lei hadn't left. "Come over."
Lin Xiao had originally planned to check on Cui Ping Nan Yuan.
Wang Lei had returned to the county town overnight and received a call from the Police Station Chief in the morning. He learned that yesterday's brawl was deliberately incited, and the mastermind behind it was Yang Feng.
This Yang Feng had built a road in Gengxu Town, and it was said that you were the only one opposing the allocation of funds?
