Cinderella Innocent and Boss Charming - Chapter 249
Chapter 249 I Don’t Care about Whom I Saved
The green light on the sidewalk lit up. Xia Xiaowan put her hand on her burning cheek and quickly walked toward the opposite side of the street. The headlights of a car parked in front of the traffic light suddenly turned on, casting a streak of shining light. It shocked her so much that she blocked it with her hand. Before she could think, she heard the sound of someone stepping on the gas. The car actually rushed towards her quickly.
Xia Xiaowan got panicked and quickly ran to the opposite side. However, it was too late. The car moved very fast. In the blink of an eye, it was right in front of her. At that time, a black shadow rushed to hug her and rolled on the ground, barely avoiding the car.
Xia Xiaowan was screaming as the black car had already sped away without a trace.
Although she fell to the ground so quickly, Xia Xiaowan was not injured. She completely fell on that person. There were only scrapes on her hand, causing a bit of stinging pain.
She quickly sat up. Ignoring herself, she looked at the man under her. That kind of strength was surely from a man. However, she instantly froze. Why was it him again?
The words of gratitude were stuck in her mouth and she could not say them. She just stared at him blankly.
Jiang Kaiwei frowned and his expression was indifferent. “Are you alright?”
“I’m fine.”
“If you are fine, get off my body…”
Xia Xiaowan came to her senses and quickly got up. Jiang Kaiwei slowly sat up and put his hands on the ground. Just as he was about to stand up, he sucked in a breath of cold air and fell back down as if he had been injured somewhere.
Xia Xiaowan looked at him coldly and asked in a rough voice. “Are you okay?”
Jiang Kaiwei rolled up his trousers to check his ankle. “It seems that my ankle has been twisted.”
“Where is your driver? Tell him to send you to the hospital.”
“I drove myself.” Jiang Kaiwei took out the car key from his pocket and pressed it forward. Not far away, the lights of a black car flashed. “My car is there. Help me up. I’ll go to the hospital myself.”
Xia Xiaowan didn’t want to touch him. However, after all, he had just saved her. This was one thing. So she couldn’t really leave him on the ground like this. She could only bend down and grab Jiang Kaiwei’s arm to pull him up.
As soon as Jiang Kaiwei stood up, he immediately took out his arm from her hand as if he was disgusted with her. Xia Xiaowan rolled her eyes in annoyance. He was clearly the one who begged her to pull him up. Yet he still put on airs. He was disgusting!
Jiang Kaiwei limped towards the car. Xia Xiaowan noticed that his right foot was injured. Then… could he still drive? She silently followed him. When she saw Jiang Kaiwei opening the door to the driver’s seat, she said, “Can you still drive with your injury? You may have an accident.”
The corners of Jiang Kaiwei’s mouth curved up. He jeered, “You don’t need to worry about whether I will have an accident or not.”
“I don’t care about you. I’m just afraid that you might hurt someone else. No one deserves to be hit by you,” Without any explanation, she took the car key from him and got into the driver’s seat.
Jiang Kaiwei probably knew that he couldn’t drive in this condition, so he didn’t say anything. He silently limped around the front of the car and sat in the passenger seat.
Xia Xiaowan started the car and stepped on the accelerator slightly, driving the car into the road.
The two of them were silent. The atmosphere seemed to have been glued and was slowly solidifying, making it difficult for them to breathe. Xia Xiaowan finally couldn’t hold it anymore and spoke first, “Don’t think that I will be grateful to you just because you saved me! I will only hate you for the rest of my life!”
Jiang Kaiwei’s face was gloomy. He looked straight ahead and said indifferently. “It doesn’t matter.”
“Did you regret it after you found out that it was me whom you saved?”
“No, I am not a person who only stands by when people are in danger. Saving others is just an instinct of mine. I don’t care about whom I saved.”
She remembered that he had saved her three times. But so what? Compared to the pain she suffered, that was nothing at all, and she would not feel grateful to him!
She sneered. “Even if you save me a hundred times, I still won’t be grateful to you.”
“I have said that it doesn’t matter.” Jiang Kaiwei propped himself up and changed his posture to put the weight of his body on his left leg. “Everyone knew that I hate you, and I don’t need you to owe me anything.”
“Since you hate me, why did you save me?”
“I didn’t know it was you.”
Xia Xiaowan snorted coldly. “You saved me, yet you can kill me again.”
Jiang Kaiwei said in a deep voice. “I am not hating you to the extent that I want to kill you.”
“You have already killed me once.” Xia Xiaowan turned to look at him with a cold gaze. “Don’t you remember? Perhaps tonight is a good opportunity, and you and I can die together.”
Jiang Kaiwei was silent, but suddenly reached out to hold the steering wheel. The car did not slow down. It made a beautiful drift on the road and then straightened its body again.
Xia Xiaowan looked back and was so scared that she was sweating all over. The car almost hit the guardrail. If it really hit the guardrail, the car opposite would be too late to avoid, and then a deadly accident would be inevitable.
She was flustered in her heart, but she didn’t stop her talking. She sneered, “What? Are you finally afraid of death?”
Jiang Kaiwei said indifferently. “You just want me to die. You don’t need to die with me.”
As Xia Xiaowan turned to look at him again, Jiang Kaiwei shouted in a low voice, “Pay your attention to the road!”
Probably due to a guilty conscience, Xia Xiaowan did not refute him and just drove the car carefully.
Late at night, it was always quiet. The light of the street lamps sprinkled like soft satin, comforting the persons who returned at night.
Xia Xiaowan looked straight ahead. She held the steering wheel tightly with both hands on it and frowned slightly. However, her gaze was not as cold as before. She seemed to be deep in thought. But, Jiang Kaiwei suddenly said, “Why do you always go home so late?”
“En?” Xia Xiaowan subconsciously asked, “What?”
Her tone was normal as if she was talking to a friend. Jiang Kaiwei was slightly stunned, and his voice unconsciously softened. “I asked you why you always go home so late.”
Xia Xiaowan quickly glanced at him. “You don’t need to worry about this. I find it strange. Why do I always meet you? Could it be that you are monitoring me?”
“I don’t have so much free time to monitor you.” Jiang Kaiwei leaned back lazily. “Don’t drive so fast. You are going to drive over the speed limit.”
Xia Xiaowan did not say a word, but gently lifted her foot on the accelerator to slow down the speed.
After a while, Xia Xiaowan spoke again, “I heard that you were fighting against Gu Nianbin?”
Jiang Kaiwei retorted with what she said a while ago, “You don’t need to worry about this.”
“Originally, it wasn’t my turn to worry about it.” Xia Xiaowan said indifferently, “But Gu Nianbin is the one who will marry me. Do you still think it has nothing to do with me?”
Jiang Kaiwei said sarcastically. “He had already proposed to Du Xiaoxian in public. Do you think he will change and propose to you? You are dreaming.”
However, Xia Xiaowan was full of confidence as she raised her eyebrows. “If you don’t believe me, just wait and see!”
There was a subtle change in Jiang Kaiwei’s indifferent expression. It was like a leaf falling into the water, causing gentle ripples. He suddenly remembered seeing Xia Xiaowan come out of the hotel that morning. Later, he asked the driver to investigate her. Sure enough, she was with Gu Nianbin. His hands unconsciously clenched into fists, and his eyes became gloomy. Even his breathing became heavy as if he was enduring something.
Fortunately, they had arrived at the hospital. Xia Xiaowan parked the car in front of the front lawn and threw the key to Jiang Kaiwei. Then she ignored him and went straight to a nurse to treat her wound. After all, there were scrapes and there was dust on the ground. It was better to sterilize the wounds in case of infection.
Sitting in the treatment room and watching the nurse skillfully sterilize the wounds and apply medical powder for her, Xia Xiaowan suddenly felt ridiculous. It was rare that they could stay in the same car and talk calmly. They didn’t glare or shout at each other.
She just felt a faint sense of uneasiness. She met him at night several times in a row. Was it really a coincidence?
Could it be that Jiang Kaiwei knew her intentions, so he sent people to monitor her? With his character, he could do such a thing.
But he was so rich and powerful that he even looked down on Gu Nianbin. So how could he be afraid of her?
In a trance, she seemed to hear the cries of babies. She could not hear clearly as the sounds were faint. Was this place next to the gynecology department? Thus, there were babies crying. However, her heart suddenly beat violently. Her face gradually turned pale and her head was covered with sweat. It was as if she was sick. She staggered to her feet.
When the nurse saw that Xia Xiaowan’s complexion was not good, she could not help but ask, “Miss, are you still feeling unwell? Do you want to take a detailed examination?”
However, Xia Xiaowan did not say a word. She just pushed the nurse aside and quickly walked out as if someone was chasing her from behind.
But as soon as she went out, she was stopped by another nurse. “Are you the person who came with that man a moment ago? Please pay the bill.”
She looked at the nurse in panic. She could only see the nurse’s lips moving, but could not hear what the nurse was saying. She was very anxious. She pulled the nurse aside and said hurriedly, “Let me go, please let me go!”
The nurse looked at her confusedly. At that time, the nurse who sterilized her wound also came out and said, “Miss, what’s wrong with you? Do you feel unwell? We can help you!”
“No, you can’t help me. No one can help me!” Xia Xiaowan suddenly became hysterical and pulled her hair ferociously. “Let me go. I can’t stay here. Let me go!”
The two nurses were frightened by her appearance. One of them said, “You stay here and watch over her. I’ll go find a doctor.”
The other one said nervously. “Go quickly. She seems to have been shocked.”
The nurse ran away quickly. The nurse who stayed with her tried to comfort her. “Miss, calm down. What do you want to say? You can tell me. I can help you.”
Xia Xiaowan hammered her head hard as if she was in extreme pain. Her sharp cry echoed in the silent corridor, which was a little scary.
The nurse got closer to her and grabbed her hand, “Miss, don’t do this. If you have anything to say, say it! We will help you.”
Xia Xiaowan became strong as she got mad. She shook off the nurse’s hand and crashed into the wall.
The nurse let out an “ah” and quickly tried to pull her back, but only pulled Xia Xiaowan’s sleeve. In front of them, a group of persons rushed over. The one running in the front was Jiang Kaiwei who had sprained his foot. Because the nurse pulled her, Xia Xiaowan slowed down and just happened to bump into Jiang Kaiwei’s arms.
The force was so strong that Jiang Kaiwei with an injured foot lost his balance and almost fell down. Fortunately, the persons behind him supported him.
Jiang Kaiwei grabbed Xia Xiaowan and shook her hard. “Wake up, what’s wrong? What happened?”
Xia Xiaowan looked at him blankly and suddenly grinned. She pointed at him and said in a sad voice, “You murderer! Return my life! Return my life! Return…” Her threatening gestures were a little scary as she clawed at Jiang Kaiwei’s face with her sharp nails.
The person next to her quickly caught her, and a doctor said, “Bring her in to get a shot of tranquilizer! Now!”
Several nurses forcefully pushed Xia Xiaowan into the treatment room. Jiang Kaiwei was still standing there in a daze. He didn’t understand. Why did such a healthy person suddenly get mad like this?
