Abandoned after first marriage due to infertility, married into a wealthy family and had two childre

When Bai Xiaowei woke up, she felt sore all over, as if she had been beaten up.

Having had this experience once before, she knew she had a fever.

It makes sense. He was sweating while running away, and then lying in the wilderness exposed to the wind for half a night. It would be unreasonable for him not to have a fever.

My throat feels hot and it hurts even when I swallow saliva. This should be a symptom of the fever.

All I could see was white. She should be in the hospital.

She blinked, and at the end of her memory, there remained a handsome face and a pair of deep starry eyes gazing at her, making her feel as if she was in a sea of ​​stars.

"Xiao Rui...Xiao Rui..."

She called out.

After I opened my mouth, I realized that I couldn't make any sound and I was just making lip movements in vain.

"woke up?"

A familiar voice rang in my ears, and in the blink of an eye, a handsome face appeared above my sight. His facial features seemed to be carefully carved by the best painter. Even from such a deadly upward angle, his beauty was not diminished at all.

She couldn't help but sigh: "It's so beautiful..."

Although he couldn't make a sound, Gu Wenrui understood her lip shape at a glance. He raised his tightly furrowed eyebrows and was almost amused by her.

He picked up the warm water on the bedside table, put a straw in it and put it to her lips: "Drink some to moisten your throat."

As the warm water entered her mouth, Bai Xiaowei frowned, then quickly relaxed.

Gu Wenrui glanced at the purple fingerprints on her neck, and the smile in his eyes gradually disappeared, turning cold again.

After taking a few sips, Bai Xiaowei stopped.

Although she tried her best to endure it, swallowing was too painful.

Gu Wenrui used a cotton swab dipped in water to moisten her chapped lips bit by bit. His movements were gentle, as if he was protecting the most precious treasure in the world.

Enjoying his attentive service, Bai Xiaowei's eyes were also filled with tenderness and affection.

The ward was quiet, with only two thumping hearts slowly approaching each other...

At this moment, a loud voice rang out: "Everyone, get out of my way! If you don't get out of my way, you're obstructing public service. Arrest them all!"

"Please keep your voice down, the young lady is recovering from illness..."

"Get out of here, what young lady? She's my sister! You have no right to stop me, either in public or in private. Get out of here!"

Immediately afterwards there was a crackling sound of something breaking.

Bai Xiaowei got anxious and reached out to grab Gu Wenrui, who immediately extended his hand for her to hold.

"Let him in!"

Because she couldn't make any sound, she didn't say anything complicated, but only made the simplest and most understandable lip movements.

Gu Wenrui frowned, looking unhappy.

Bai Xiaowei pulled his hand and shook it, her pale little face full of pitiful pleading.

Gu Wenrui lowered his eyes and looked at her for a moment, but he was finally defeated by her pitiful appearance. He turned his head helplessly and shouted to the outside of the door: "Let him in."

"Yes!"

Gu Yong responded and went out to bring people. Bai Xiaowei heard the noise outside pause, and then there were footsteps coming closer and closer.

Judging from the sound, there are quite a few people coming.

The door opened and people outside rushed in, blocking out the sunlight.

Gu Wenrui stretched out his arm around Bai Xiaowei, helped her sit up, and placed a special lumbar pillow behind her waist so that she could lean back comfortably.

When he stood up, he kissed her on the forehead as if no one was around.

If it was just a kiss under normal circumstances, Bai Xiaowei would still be able to remain calm.

But today, when she saw who came in, she was so embarrassed and ashamed that she wanted to suffocate herself in the quilt.

Her pale face due to the high fever was instantly flushed with red, making her look no longer bleak.

That’s right, it wasn’t just Ma Yingjie who came in, there were also Director Yan, Meng Yujiao, and Chu Sichen!

Bai Xiaowei was socially devastated when she was kissed by a man in front of her boss and colleagues.

Not only Bai Xiaowei was embarrassed, but Director Yan, who was already old, couldn't bear to watch this at all. He coughed twice and shifted his gaze.

Even Chu Sichen, who was always the talkative one and was known for being an expert at livening up the atmosphere, was speechless.

The instigator of all this, however, was oblivious to the surroundings and pointed to the sofa opposite the bed nonchalantly: "Everyone, sit down."

"Xiaoyong, serve the tea!"

The suffocatingly awkward atmosphere did not come alive because of his words. Chu Sichen glanced over at Bai Xiaowei and Gu Wenrui, and the disapproval in his eyes almost overflowed.

The first to break the silence was Ma Yingjie. He did not follow the others to sit on the sofa, but walked towards the bed, frowned at Bai Xiaowei and asked, "How are you?"

The tone of voice was not really good, but when Bai Xiaowei thought of the words "she is my sister" she just heard, her eyes became a little hot.

She pursed her lips, pointed her finger at her throat, and gestured with her hands and mouth: "I'm fine, don't worry."

"My voice is hoarse and I can't speak."

As she gestured, everyone in the ward looked at her neck.

The purple pinch marks on the fair skin looked even more shocking, indicating that the owner's life was once in danger.

Ma Yingjie's face changed drastically, and he asked in a deep voice: "Did those people do it?"

Director Yan, Meng Yujiao and Chu Sichen could no longer sit still and immediately stood up and walked towards the bed.

Director Yan gritted his teeth and said, "They even dare to kidnap the prosecutor. How outrageous!"

Meng Yujiao's face was icy: "I will apply to Prosecutor Qi for early intervention. This case must be handed over to me when the time comes!"

Chu Sichen changed his nonchalant attitude and said in a cold voice: "This is a slap in my face. Damn it, if I don't let him spend the rest of his life in jail, I won't be named Chu!"

Bai Xiaowei: "..."

She opened her eyes wide in confusion, looking left and right, not understanding what they were doing.

Just when I was about to ask Gu Wenrui what happened, the nurse came in and gave her an IV.

Because there was an IV in her arm, the operation was simple. The nurse connected it skillfully and explained the precautions. Bai Xiaowei thought she had finished and was about to continue the previous topic.

Unexpectedly, the nurse took a cotton swab dipped in iodine and wiped her neck, then took out a bottle of spray and sprayed it on the wiped area a few times. After waiting for three minutes, she applied an ice patch to her neck.

This series of operations completely confused Bai Xiaowei.

It was not the first time for her to have a fever, but when her throat hurt, they applied iodine and sprayed medicine on her neck...well, this operation really made her confused.

Seeing her staring at her movements blankly, the nurse smiled gently and said, "Don't worry. We took an X-ray yesterday and the laryngeal cartilage is not damaged. The pain you feel is caused by contusion of the soft tissue in your neck, which has caused congestion and edema of the subcutaneous tissue. I just sprayed you with medicine to reduce swelling and dissipate blood stasis. Combined with ice compress, you will be well soon."

Bai Xiaowei: “!!!”

Neck soft tissue contusion?

She often saw this statement in the human injury appraisal reports issued by forensic doctors - generally speaking, injuries to the neck or soft tissue contusions were mostly caused by someone strangling the neck forcefully.

She asked why her throat hurt so much, and it turned out that she was pinched?!

When did it happen?

She only remembered that she resisted too fiercely in the car and was knocked unconscious by someone. She had no memory of anything else.

Could it be that after those people knocked her unconscious, they were planning to strangle her to death?

It would be easy for four grown men to strangle an unconscious woman to death, but why is she still here alive?

Is it because of that unidentified oriole?

Who is the yellow bird?

"Xiaowei."

Seeing Bai Xiaowei in a daze with a thoughtful look on her face, Gu Wenrui put his arm around her shoulders and hugged her in his arms, saying in a low voice, "Don't be afraid, it's okay! I promise, this will never happen again!"

"Ah!"

A sneer of disdain rang out, Ma Yingjie crossed his arms over his chest, looking down at the two people leaning on each other on the hospital bed: "Afterthought!"
