A Long Way to Marriage: Ruan Shao's Replacement New Wife

Xi Elm stood by the door and stared blankly, feeling a little indescribable in his heart.

Ruan Peichen took a black knit coat from the cabinet and put it on. Seeing that West Elm was still standing there blankly, his gaze seemed to be on his lap.

Ruan Peichen looked down to see the injury on his leg, pulled his clothes to cover it, and then walked slowly to Xi Elm.

"It's a bit scary, but it's really not a big deal. Go take a shower."

West Elm raised his head and asked, "Will your leg suffer from sequelae? After all, you have been injured one after another for more than a year. You told me last time that you might have a blockage of Qi and blood and difficulty walking. If it is more serious..."

Ruan Peichen put his hand on Xielm's lips, interrupting Xielm's words.

He had deep brows and eyes, but said calmly: "It's nothing, everyone is old, and their legs and feet will not be bad."

West Elm grabbed Ruan Peichen's sleeve, frowned and said, "You know that's not the case. In fact, when I was in the hospital, I heard... what the doctor said to you."

Ruan Peichen's eyes were slightly cold, and after a moment of surprise, he said: "The worst case the doctor said is just in case. Don't worry. Even if I don't take good care of my body, Steward Chen and Steward Zhou will not allow it. Now that medical technology is so advanced, these problems may not be considered problems at all in another ten years."

Xiyu wanted to speak, but was hugged by Ruan Peichen.

He lowered his head and leaned into West Elm's ear, and said, "Xi Elm, you sympathize with me, but you are still worried about me."

Xiyu was slightly startled, she was still holding the corner of Ruan Peichen's clothes.

There were only the two of them in the cloakroom, and it was quiet. The crystal chandelier above the head emitted a warm yellow light, giving the room a quiet and warm feeling.

After a long time, Xielm let go of Ruan Peichen's clothes and said, "I don't know, maybe... I'm worried."

Ruan Peichen's eyes shifted, and a faint smile rose from the corner of his mouth.

If it's not sympathy, it's fine.

After taking a shower, West Elm came out of the bathroom, the bedroom door was closed, and there was only a cup of still warm honey water.

She took a sip of the honey water, then turned around and came out of the room, and walked to the door of the next room.

She hesitated outside the door for half a minute, then raised her hand and knocked on the door.

But no one responded at the door. It was very late now, the lights downstairs had already been turned off, and everyone else in the villa was asleep.

West Elm reached out and pushed the door open.

The lights in the room were on, but there was no one, and Ruan Peichen was not in.

West Elm closed the door and came out, turned on the lights and went downstairs, and there was no one in the garden. She went to the kitchen to put a cup, and just happened to meet the servant who got up to go to the toilet, and asked, "Do you know where Ruan Peichen is?"

Seeing that it was Xielm, the servant said, "Sir, I received a call from the hospital just now. It seems that Miss Peizhi is in the hospital for rescue. He hurried out."

"Did he go out by himself?"

"That's right, Xiao Liu and Housekeeper Zhou are not here. Mister drove out by himself. Mister said that if you ask, let me tell you, I just went up to deliver honey water and saw you taking a bath, so I came down first."

West Elm put down the cup, went upstairs and immediately changed into a set of clothes and came down, then hailed a car to go to the hospital where Peizhi was.

Ruan Peichen rushed over in such a hurry, probably because the situation on Peizhi's side was very urgent.

Xielm felt that she should go and accompany her at this time.
