Chapter 1785: Chapter 1786: Not Entirely Just Helping You
Rong Yan measured her temperature and took some medicine, then someone arranged a room for her.
The fever medication contained a sleeping aid, and although she struggled to stay awake, she ultimately fell asleep due to her weak body.
This sleep was extremely restless. In her dream, she was trapped in a small dark room, watching Li Shengxiao refuse to eat or sleep in search of her, his stubble grew out, and he had lost a lot of weight.
Little Baby was also crying intensely, sobbing and fussing to find his mother.
In the dream, Rong Yan shouted and screamed, desperately trying to tell them she was fine and would return soon, but no matter how hard she tried, Li Shengxiao and the others couldnât hear her voice.
Finally, she woke up in a panic.
Outside had long turned from day to night, with only the moonlight quietly shining in.
Rong Yan let out a breath, about to sit up, when she sharply sensed something was wrongâthere was someone by the bed!
Everything on her had been searched and taken, but the anesthetic needle hidden on her was still there. The needle was coated with her specially prepared anesthetic; it wasnât just enough to knock someone out, even an elephant couldnât withstand the dose she used.
She hadnât used it before because she only had one needle, and she didnât know how many opponents there were. Now, Rong Yan tightly gripped the slender needle hidden in her sleeve, holding her breath.
Just as she was tense and uneasy, the lights in the room suddenly turned on.
The âMr. Nieâ she met during the day appeared in front of her, "Youâre awake?"
"Uncle?"
Chu Aotian jokingly said, "I just heard you shouting and yelling in your dream, scared me for a moment."
"...Sorry, I didnât know I was talking in my sleep, did I disturb you?" Rong Yan sat up from the bed, her eyes still showing a trace of vigilance.
It was the first time Chu Aotian was stared at defensively by a young girl, somewhat amused but intrigued as he explained to her, "I heard your voice and thought something happened, so I came to check. You didnât disturb me, I am the one who startled you."
Rong Yan was indeed frightened, but after hearing his explanation, she realized she had overthought things, feeling inexplicably embarrassed.
"Sorry."
Looking at Mr. Nieâs appearance and status, he didnât seem like the kind of man who would sneak into a girlâs room at night to be a rogue.
Her nerves had been stretched too tight these past few days, leaving her jittery.
Everyone looked like a villain to her.
"...I misunderstood you."
Doing what she did, Rong Yan admitted sincerely.
She had indeed misunderstood Chu Aotian just now. The man had helped her, and she had doubted him, so she should apologize.
Chu Aotian showed a hint of surprise in his eyes, not expecting Rong Yan to admit she had misunderstood him earlier. After a moment of being stunned, he smiled and said, "Itâs alright. Itâs normal for you to be scared alone outside. You donât have to be too tense, we will reach the dock tomorrow, and once we arrive, you can contact your family to go home."
"Thank you."
He waved his hand, looking at Rong Yan with a distant gaze and spoke warmly, "You donât need to thank me, I have my own reasons for helping you."
"..."
They had never met before, what reason would he have to help her?
As if he heard her inner voice, Chu Aotian calmly said, "You look very much like how my wife looked when she was young. Seeing you is like seeing her when she was young, and combined with the fact that youâre about the same age as my lost daughter, thinking that she might be in danger and unable to find help like you, I decided to help you. Without these conditions, maybe I wouldnât have helped you during the day."
