Because I Cannot Hurt You

Zhiyuan held Xinyi's hand after listening to what had transpired. "If you will blame yourself, then I will be really angry at you. They are your shares, Xinyi. You can do what you feel is right. It was about our son's safety. Don't think that Keung won."

Xinyi pursed her lips. "But he said that my signatures were the last he needed to take over the company."

He smiled. "Don't worry about the company, Xinyi. We will figure something out. Even if he wins, it will be temporary. Snatching everything by unfair and threatening means doesn't last for long. He won today. We will win tomorrow."

She pouted. "How can you not feel even a little bit tense? You have worked so hard to bring Han Corps where it is today. Keung is taking everything away from you, and who knows what harm he will do to the company."

Zhiyuan said, "Come a little closer. I have a secret just for you."

Xinyi curiously leaned in. Zhiyuan slightly raised his head and pecked on her cheek. The doctor had temporarily removed the oxygen mask, which Zhiyuan took full advantage of.

Xinyi - "..."

Zhiyuan laughed. "You look so cute."

"Zhiyuan! This is not the time to act romantic."

"There is always time for a little romance. Don't blame me. I have missed a lot of days because of that damn poison. I want to compensate for the intimate time we have lost~"

Xinyi dryly looked at him. "Look at you! You were attacked three times, but you look so relaxed."

"It's because you are in front of me. I always feel naughty whenever you are so close to me."

"..."

This man…

Xinyi took her purse. "Fine! If you are so energetic, then you don't need me by your side."

Zhiyuan gasped. "How could you think that Xinyi? I feel so weak. Touch my forehead. I definitely have a bit of a temperature."

She glared at him. "Ask a nurse! Hmph."

"What if the nurse fell in love with me? I don't want a messy time in the hospital. My heart is always with you."

Xinyi's jaw dropped.

When was Zhiyuan such a narcissist?

She stomped her way away, but Zhiyuan quickly called her back. "Wait, wait!"

She stopped and turned. "Do you realize your mistake now? Will you have a serious conversation with me now?"

He sheepishly grinned. "It's not about that. Can you pass my phone?"

Zhiyuan's phone was lying on the table at the side. Naturally, he was too weak to move.

Her nostrils flared. "Aren't you so energetic? Do it yourself!"

She went out and shut the door in frustration. Zhiyuan sighed and simply waited.

A few seconds later, the door opened again. Xinyi refused to look at him as she hastily picked his phone and dumped it on his chest.

Zhiyuan grinned. "I knew you would come back. My wife is so sweet~"

Xinyi ignored him and scurried away again.

Zhiyuan chuckled. Then his expression slowly got colder and deadlier as he picked up his phone and dialed a number.

"Yunru."

Two days later, Zhiyuan got discharged. It was a happy celebration for everyone. Zizi eagerly said, "Let's go quickly, bro! We have planned a welcome party for you! I am already feeling hungry~"

Xia Liqin lightly smacked on her forehead. "Don't be hasty. Zhiyuan has just gotten better."

"Mom, bro must also definitely want to hurry back as soon as possible too! He must be so bored of eating the bland hospital food."

Zhiyuan nodded. "I am! I am missing braised pork the most."

Xinyi raised her brow. "Zhiyuan, don't forget that you still have to control your intake. You cannot irresponsibly eat heavy food and get yourself sick."

Zhiyuan cleared his throat. "Of course, I know…"

"You better not forget that the doctor has told you to maintain a light diet for a few days."

That traitor doctor! Even though I said not to utter anything about a light diet!

Xinyi smiled. "I know. You tried your best in bribing the doctor, but I know you too well."

"What are you talking about, Xinyi? I don't understand," he feigned ignorance. "Why will I bribe the doctor. I have my morals!"

"We will see about that at home how well you are able to control yourself."

Xia Liqin laughed. "That's right, Xinyi. Don't be soft on this idiot. Otherwise, he will land himself in the hospital again."

Siying, who was hugging Zhiyuan, whispered into his ear. "Don't worry, Dada! I will secretly bring you all the yummy food!"

Zhiyuan always let Siying eat ice cream whenever Xinyi didn't allow it. As a responsible son, he felt it was his duty to do the same for his father.

They shared a secret high five.

Xinyi narrowed her eyes in suspicion.

Aren't they too close today for some reason?

Before leaving, Caihong came to bid a quick goodbye too. "Take care, Zhiyuan."

He nodded. "Any improvement with Xiaosi?"

She sighed. "Nothing."

Xia Liqin patted her head. "Don't lose hope dear."

"I won't. I will wait for as long as it takes."

She looked at Zizi. "I heard that... Yunru is searching for my mom…"

"En."

She let out a breath, unsure of her feelings. "Will you tell him to inform me too if he finds her?"

She paused. "Are you sure?"

"Yes. I want to meet her just as Dad wants to. Even Shuang too."

She nodded. "Okay. I will tell Yunru."

"Thanks."

---

Reaching the Han villa, Xinyi supported Zhiyuan's arm on her shoulder as they walked.

Zizi grinned. "Let me check if Ah Cy and Liang are already here."

As they stepped in, they heard a sound of someone clapping. "Welcome my dear cousin."

They froze in their steps. Xinyi widened her eyes, seeing Keung seated on the couch with a smile on his lips.

"Hello there. Long time no see, cousin Zhiyuan. I see, you have got discharged. How are you feeling now?"

Xinyi gritted her teeth. "You....Keung. What are you doing here!? How dare you show your face here?"
