Ye Mian quietly looked at the man who was sleeping on the edge of the bed, her eyes were full of grievances and puzzlement.

Gradually, she noticed that there were several strands of white hair on the side of his sideburns, and that his nails were yellow, caused by long-term smoking. I heard Qin Ran say that he had a bad stomach and had stomach bleeding that day.

In the past two years, he doesn't seem to be doing well, he is much thinner than before, his shoulders are like hangers, supporting his suit, too thin.

dumped her, a bad wife, and married Bai Fumei, shouldn't he have a prosperous life and reach the peak of his life? Why are you so emaciated?

Looking at his appearance, the tip of Ye Mian's nose was pantothenic, her eyes were full of tears, and she clenched her hands.

Qiao Zhanbei slept very lightly, her hand just moved, he sensed it, woke up, and met her teary-eyed appearance.

His heart suddenly twitched, "What's uncomfortable?" ”

Ye Mian looked at his handsome face with a sense of decadence, and tears fell uncontrollably.

The man's cheeks were thin, the dark circles under his eyes were heavy, and his eyes were full of concern.

Qiao Zhanbei was so frightened by her tears that he rang the call bell without thinking.

He pulled out a piece of tissue paper, gently wiped her tears, wiped off a little, and poured out again, unable to wipe it all.

"Is it a headache or a wound on your body?" He asked in a trembling voice.

Distressed.

Ye Mian answered him in his heart.

Doctors and nurses rushed to examine Ye Mian, and after making sure that she did not have a concussion and was fine, they all went out again.

In the ward, only the two of them remained.

Ye Mian's head was groggy and his mouth was dry, Qiao Zhan brought a glass of warm water from the north end, helped her sit up, he sat at the head of the bed, and let her drink water by herself.

She leaned limply against him, the familiar masculine smell of tobacco enveloping her, and he brought the glass of water to her mouth, a hand on one of her shoulders.

Through the thin fabric, you can feel the temperature of his palm.

Her heart warmed, and she was also in a trance, as if she had returned to the time when she was not divorced.

After drinking a few sips of water, he didn't want to drink it anymore, he didn't force her, helped her wipe the overflowing water from the corner of her mouth, put her down, and covered her with a thin quilt.

Qiao Zhanbei sat down on the edge of the bed, "Keep sleeping, I'm guarding you here, don't be afraid, that scum has been caught." ”

He spoke softly, soothing her.

As the words fell, his long fingers gently brushed the hair from her cheeks.

The man's rough fingertips rubbed against her skin, like an electric current, bringing a tingling and shivering feeling.

Ye Mian's heart palpitated, and the sweet memories of the past swept in.

"Who is bullying me?" She forced herself to calm down and asked lightly.

The man appeared in front of him, with a pair of fierce eyes like a falcon and a wicked smile. However, in retrospect, I am not so scared.

Qiao Zhanbei put down the cup, the force was a little heavy, and the thick bottom of the glass hit the tabletop, making a dull sound.

"It's called Xiao Yi, a brute who does all kinds of evil, and has been handed over to the police. He is Shangguan Ting's righteous son. ”

That Xiao Yi is Shangguan Ting's minion, helping him manage entertainment venues, casinos, and launder money.

Ye Mian remembered that he hugged her that day and begged her to keep her away from Shangguan Ting, and she looked at him with wide eyes.

More and more, I feel that he has something to hide from himself.

Qiao Zhanbei came into contact with her puzzled eyes, his throat rolled, and he diverted the topic, "Your head has been hit, rest more, don't think about it, sleep steadily." ”

Seeing that he didn't explain, remembering that he still had a fiancée, that Qin Ran seemed to be pregnant, Ye Mian's heart was half cold.

She almost forgot that they had been divorced for almost two years, and that he was now a man with a fiancée.

"You go back, I don't need you to take care of me here." There was coldness in her tone.

Qiao Zhanbei's heart sank suddenly, "You are hospitalized alone, I ......"

How can he put his mind at ease.

"Sleep!"

Xu Mobai, who got the news, hurried over, he pushed open the door of the ward and shouted anxiously.

Seeing that Ye Mian seemed to be safe and sound, he breathed a sigh of relief, and his gaze fell on Qiao Zhanbei's face.

"Brother Mo Bai, I'm fine." Ye Mian wanted to get up.

Qiao Zhanbei stepped forward to help her, but she shrunk her shoulders and avoided him and didn't let him touch it.

The man's heart tugged, and he was hurt by her slight movement. He also suddenly remembered that she was now Xu Mobai's person, and they even had children.

"Mr. Qiao, please go back." Ye Mian's tone was indifferent and alienated.

Qiao Zhanbei swallowed his throat, gritted his teeth secretly, and he smiled stupidly, "Then you rest first." ”

Ye Mian let out a faint "um".

"Mr. Qiao, thank you for saving sleep tonight, another day we are a family of three, please have a meal." Xu Mobai said politely to him.

Hearing this, Qiao Zhanbei's forehead twitched, and he watched Xu Mobai sit down on the edge of the bed, looking at Ye Mian with concern in his eyes, and shushing her for warmth.

His heart was like a steamroller, rumbling past and crushing his heart to pieces.

As soon as he got out of the ward, Qiao Zhanbei smashed his fist on the cold wall, and his knuckles were suddenly blurred.

In order to protect her, she had to force her to divorce, and as a result, she turned to another man and had a seven-month-old daughter.

Whether she loves him or not, can she be so desperate and ruthless.

He took a step and looked at the door of the ward, thinking that it was Xu Mobai who was taking care of her at this time, his heart twisted again, and he was distressed to the end, only sadness remained.

Finally, turn into a wry smile.

In the ward, Xu Mobai looked at the bruises on Ye Mian's forehead, his breathing was short for a while, he picked up Ye Mian's hand, put it in his palm, and held it.

Ye Mian, who had not yet fallen asleep, immediately shrank back, and she opened her eyes.

"Brother Mo Bai, I told you before, I have always treated you as a brother." She looked at him and said seriously.

Xu Mobai's heart was blocked, he raised his lips and smiled gently, "I also said that liking you is my own business." I'm sorry, I just overstepped the norm. You sleep, I'll go rest on the couch over there. ”

As the words fell, he got up.

Ye Mian looked at his back, only sorry.

He showed his love for her during the Chinese New Year this year, and she rejected him at that time. Even if she was rejected, he still took care of her without regrets as before.

In the second half of the night, Ye Mian's heart was in turmoil.

On June 6, since the start of construction, in the past two years, Qiao's Plaza, a large business district in Qingzhou District, has finally been grandly opened. Qiao's move in led the surrounding commercial real estate to spring up like mushrooms after a rain, and it was a thriving scene.

This is also Qiao Zhanbei's second uncle, Qiao Jin's first fire after taking office.

Shangguan Mansion, Shangguan Ting sat on the sofa, watching the opening ceremony on TV, he had a cigar in his mouth, and in the sofa next to him, Gu Ye was sitting.

Gu Ye was dressed in black, wearing a baseball cap on his head, and the brim of the hat covered the upper half of his face.

Looking at the colorful picture on the TV, the uncle and nephew of the Qiao family, whom he regarded as a thorn in his side, Shangguan Ting smiled gloomily.

He prepared a generous gift for their uncle and nephew today.
