But the words, she would not say. In the future, perhaps, it won’t be said either …
“Why don’t you put me down and I’ll just go in by myself.” This topic, finally, was not suitable for them who were already divorced. Her body struggled, wanting to slide down from between his arms, but Xia Feiqing was unwilling to put her down just like that, and only said, “Take out the room card and go in.”
Zhao Lanlan had no choice but to take the room card out, open the door, and be carried inside by him. Xia Feiqing put her down on the bed, glanced at her, and asked, “Do you want to get a doctor to take a look? You’ve been overly shocked.”
“No, I’m fine.” She wasn’t quite able to adjust to him being so concerned about herself. And … if she called the doctor, I’m afraid she couldn’t hide her pregnancy very well.
“Don’t worry, that person just now wasn’t a thug, just an ordinary traveler.”
“Huh?”
“Hmm. I heard you gave yourself a shock and passed out?”
Zhao Lanlan’s face instantly turned red. Would she … she be too ashamed? To actually faint in fear because of the other party’s sudden proximity.
“I … am sorry.” Zhao Lanlan wooed and apologized, remembering what the man said at the end, she was a little worried, “Did I get you in trouble? That man said he was going to sue you.”
Xia Feiqing had already forgotten how long it had been since they had spoken to each other as calmly as they were at this moment. He said, “Well. I was a little too heavy-handed.”
***
Xia Feiqing’s words had only fallen, when the door, was slapped with a ‘pop’.
“Hey, come out here! Don’t be afraid to sue if you hit someone!” The man outside yelled.
Zhao Lanlan’s heart is worried, Xia Feiqing’s identity if the accused, is going to be some trouble, on his career naturally have an impact. She did not want to worry about him, however, this matter is because of their own will become so, she does not want to owe him.
Xia Feiqing got up and went to open the door, the man was standing outside.
“You tell me how to fix this today! You beat me like this!” The man pointed at his red and swollen face from the beating, still on fire inside.
Without waiting for Xia Feiqing to open his mouth, there was already a soft voice that took the lead to insert, “He was just too impulsive, that’s why he struck out so hard. Big brother, we have something to talk about, you must not sue him!”
“Lan Lan, get out of the way.” Xia Feiqing said.
“You get out of the way!” She returned to him without a good mood, ignoring his slightly changing face, and only said with the other party, “I’ll accompany you to examine your injuries, and we’ll pay for all the medicine. Also, if you want him to apologize, I’ll let him apologize to you.”
“Well, it’s fine if you don’t sue! I won’t test the injuries, please. You guys give me this amount, plus an apology, and this matter will be settled!” The other party compared a ‘1’.
“1000?”
“1W!”
Ten thousand?
Is this a robbery?
Xia Feiqing wanted to say something, but she had already been stopped by her, and she said decisively, “Fine, ten thousand is ten thousand! Do you have cash on you? Point ten thousand out.”
She turned her head to look at Xia Feiqing, who raised his eyebrows, flipped out his wallet, decisively drew a wad of money out of his wallet, and spared a couple of even looks at her, “Is it a regret that you haven’t spent my money before?”
He felt deeply that this woman must have done it on purpose. However, it was money he was happy to spend.
“Yes, this is revenge.” Zhao Lanlan handed the ten thousand dollars directly to the other party, and the other party didn’t leave, simply waiting for that apology. Zhao Lanlan sidled up, “Come apologize.”
Xia Feiqing was surprisingly well-behaved.
“I was wrong about this, and I apologize.”
After saying that, he was turning his head to look at Zhao Lanlan, “How is it, is it okay?”
Zhao Lanlan was speechless. He asked this as if she wanted a word of apology from him.
“OK, since your sincerity is good, then … this matter will be forgotten.” The other party weighed the money in his hand, and naturally accepted it. Suffered this injury is just a superficial wound, less than 100 dollars of medicine can be fixed.
Once that person left, Zhao Lanlan breathed a sigh of relief. However, before she could relax, she remembered that only she and Xia Feiqing were left in this room. The strings in her heart, slightly tightened, she pursed her lips and said, “Go away, I’m already fine.”
“Sure it’s okay?” Xia Feiqing asked rhetorically.
“… Uh-huh.” She’s actually a little bit vain. It was dark outside, and when the lights were off, you couldn’t see anything.
Xia Feiqing walked to the window and looked around, “Since you’re doing the interviews for this case, you should know very well that two female customers died in the hotel room.”
Zhao Lanlan winced, “Don’t scare me! With so many police here, it’s impossible for the murderer to still show up here.”
“Yeah, knowing that it’s impossible, I was still scared into passing out in the elevator just now.” Xia Feiqing gave her a somewhat playful look, and finally, nodded, “It’s getting late, you rest early, I’m going out.”
He also really didn’t stay much longer, turning around and walking towards the door. Zhao Lanlan looked at him and almost couldn’t help but call out to him, she was really a bit scared. However, by the time she came back to her senses, the door had already been closed.
