Seeking love through marriage: Mr. is too arrogant

Jiang Manxue licked her lips nervously.

She took a cautious look at Lu Sichen, but she didn't dare to look at him like before, instead she secretly looked at him carefully for a moment.

Probably because of his illness, Lu Sichen looked a little less fierce than usual.His haircut, which was originally meticulous, is now softly attached to the pillow, and even his brows, which are always tightly frowned, are now relaxed.

In the half-closed black pupils, the piercing and sharp light of the past was gone, instead they were heavy, like an endless deep pool.If you are not careful, you will be sucked into it and drown in the bottomless abyss.

"I, I didn't want to run out of the hospital on purpose." Jiang Manxue saw that Lu Sichen was probably in a good mood, and explained falteringly: "I'm really worried about you, so...you, can you not blame me?" Nursing aunt and doctor?"

Lu Sichen lay looking at her, Jiang Manxue's tongue was tied up nervously.Since she was a child, she loved to pick her nails when she was nervous, but now that she kept messing with her fingers, she knew how nervous she was.

"You came here because you were worried about me." Listening to him, Jiang Manxue kept nodding to show her seriousness.Lu Sichen hoarsely asked back: "Then why should I blame them?"

Jiang Manxue blinked, wondering if Lu Sichen said that seriously.

She was stunned for a while, seeing that Lu Sichen didn't intend to lose his temper at all, instead she looked at herself quietly, only then did she realize that what he said was true.So, Jiang Manxue added: "Then, Secretary Zhou...he was also worried about you. He said, he said..."

As Jiang Manxue spoke, she suddenly and slowly turned off her voice.

Lu Sichen was really sick, and even his patience was a little better than usual.

"What did he say? Huh?"

"He said, you've been calling me, my name." Jiang Manxue pursed her lower lip, her voice was dry, and it was difficult to speak.

Hearing the words, Lu Sichen suddenly paused, then turned his head to the side, subconsciously frowned, and retorted casually: "How is it possible. He must have misheard."

Jiang Manxue raised her head and looked at Lu Sichen in surprise.

Her heart was beating 'thump-thump'.She wanted to say no, not only Secretary Zhou heard it, but I also heard it clearly on the phone, you did call my name.However, after seeing Lu Sichen turn his face away and stop looking at his expression of refusing to continue talking about this topic, Jiang Manxue couldn't say anything.

Her gaze slowly lowered, and she tapped her head twice heavily.

"Hmm. Probably... he heard it wrong." When the voice came out, there was an insignificant hoarseness and dryness.

Lu Sichen obviously didn't want to discuss this topic again.He turned his face away and looked at Jiang Manxue seriously.

"Did you just have a nightmare?" The topic came back again.

Jiang Manxue's body froze, and she did not deny it: "Yes."

Lu Sichen asked unintentionally, "What did you dream about?"

"No, nothing." Jiang Manxue pursed her lips and lowered her head.She dodged, trying to escape the question. "You're awake, I'll take a thermometer and measure it for you to see if you still have a fever."

However, Lu Sichen didn't intend to let her escape.He hooked Jiang Manxue's chin with his fingers, forcing her to look up.

"Answer me, what did you dream about?"

Jiang Manxue curled up her right hand nervously and licked her lips.Eyes lowered, not daring to look at Lu Sichen's face.

Seeing that she couldn't escape, Jiang Manxue replied vaguely: "I dreamed about... the past."

"What happened before." Lu Sichen let go of Jiang Manxue's chin, and lay still on the bed. "The thing with me? Jiang Manxue, dreaming about the things that were with me before, will it give you nightmares?"

"No, it's not." Jiang Manxue shook her head, she was afraid that Lu Sichen would misunderstand, so she quickly denied it. "I didn't...didn't dream of you."

Her words made Lu Sichen's face darken.

Lu Sichen looked at her several times, and suddenly asked: "When you were with me, did something happen that I didn't know about?"

Jiang Manxue froze for a moment, then shook her head in denial: "No."

"Then how did you get this scar?" Lu Sichen suddenly reached out and grabbed Jiang Manxue's right hand.With a little force, he pulled Jiang Manxue's arm over, turned over her hand, and stroked the raised scar with his fingers. "Tell me, how did this scar come about."

Jiang Manxue's eyes panicked for a moment. "It's not...it's only after I separated from you."

After all, Jiang Manxue bit her lower lip hard.

Her face turned pale, as if she was forced to recall some things she didn't want to recall.

"Who made it." Lu Sichen's voice was deep, and his eyes darkened instantly.There is a frightening emotion in it, as if there is a bloodthirsty beast hidden in it, just waiting for Jiang Manxue to say the name, and the moment she says it, that fierce beast can devour people like.

Jiang Manxue wanted to withdraw her hand at a loss, but Lu Sichen grabbed it.

"I, I don't know." Jiang Manxue had no choice but to turn pale and turn her head away from him.Her side face was facing Lu Sichen, her eyelashes trembling uncomfortably. "I really don't know who it is. There are a lot of them. I only remember a man's voice. I don't remember the others."

Jiang Manxue's voice trembled, and she pleaded: "Don't ask. Lu Sichen, don't ask again. I... don't want to think about that day anymore."

After saying this, Jiang Manxue moved her fingers again, wanting to withdraw her hand from Lu Sichen's hand.

However, Lu Sichen held her palm tightly with both hands.His thumb gently stroked the rough and ugly scar on his palm over and over again.

Jiang Manxue closed her eyes in embarrassment.

For the first time in so many years, she fully exposed this scar in front of Lu Sichen.

In fact, it seemed that it was the first time in so many years that Lu Sichen faced the scar on her palm like this.

"Why didn't you tell me this morning?" Lu Sichen asked calmly.

why?Jiang Manxue opened her mouth, but no sound came out.

Why else?Because of fear.Because...you always show such an impatient expression to me.I dare not tell you my sadness, my anxiety, my pain, and everything in my heart.It's nothing more than fear.I'm afraid you'll get bored and loathe me even more because I talk too much.I am afraid that you will leave me alone again, and let me live a difficult and lonely life in this cold world.

But even at this moment, Jiang Manxue still dare not speak.

She opened her mouth, holding back the astringency in her heart, and spoke softly.

"I... have already forgotten. You, don't worry about it either."
