"What are you stopping my lover for? Is there something you need?"
Xie Jingchen, dressed in a neat and imposing green military uniform, stood authoritatively behind his petite wife, his thin lips parting slightly again to ask.
Seeing him speak and frighten the other into a sudden step back, gaping with an open dark mouth, revealing teeth blackened from smoking opium, they completely forgot what they had originally intended to say.
Although Xie Jingchen’s face did not show any surplus emotion, his ensuing action made Zheng Chunhe feel an intense ’threat’.
"Hubby!" Yan Jinsu, hearing him, turned around in delight, twisting her body sharply, and just then threw herself into the strong build of Xie Jingchen as he steadily approached.
Because she had overused her spiritual power in her haste to return, she had immediately withdrawn her spiritual power upon reaching the clinic to reduce the overspending of it.
"Wife, are you alright?" Xie Jingchen glanced at Zheng Chunhe, naturally placing his large hand on the back of her head, bowing slightly to ask in a deep voice.
His tall and sturdy body tightly shielded her slender frame beneath him, his actions implicitly conveying to the onlookers: the woman in his arms, is under his protection.
Xie Jingchen’s gestures were few, but they made Yan Jinsu feel a warmth, her lips biting tightly as she gazed at him.
Out of the corner of her eye, she saw the aide following behind her husband. Yan Jinsu stopped sniffing for a moment, her small hand still resting on his arm, the two of them gazing deeply into each other’s eyes for a few seconds before Yan Jinsu gradually calmed her excited emotions.
"I’m fine," Yan Jinsu whimpered a little, lifting the corners of her mouth to reveal a light, comfortable smile.
From the perspective of Zheng Chunhe and Sister-in-law Chen, they felt that the tall and imposing military officer was protectively drawing Mr. Yan into his sphere of influence.
Even though he said little, just a sweeping glance was enough to induce timidity in others.
"Wife, who is this?" Xie Jingchen glanced at Zheng Chunhe, who had quietly retreated several steps back, then looked towards Yan Jinsu.
"Oh, Old Xie, I was almost back to county town X, and when passing through town L, a pregnant woman alarmingly stopped my car while I was dealing with the situation," Yan Jinsu originally wanted to call him hubby, but seeing the outdated dress of those around her, she immediately came back to her senses.
"Don’t be afraid, I’m here," Xie Jingchen said, his tiger-like eyes sizing up Yan Jinsu’s body again, seeing no injuries or blood, yet still feeling uneasy, he was about to act when he heard Yan Jinsu’s explanation.
"Brother Chen, you misunderstood, that pregnant woman wasn’t someone I hit and sent to the hospital, she didn’t even touch my car, she just fainted on the roadside.
The gynecologist who examined her also said that she got into trouble because she was excessively abused by her husband and in-laws. And, just a few days ago, her eight-month-old fetus died in her womb, it really has nothing to do with me."
Yan Jinsu’s words simply informed Xie Jingchen what had happened to her while she was driving back.
As for the pregnant woman being Zhang Baoni, uh, to Mr. and Mrs. Xie Jingchen, it really wasn’t important.
"Sister-in-law, rest assured, I will handle this now, you and the commander should go back and rest first, I’ve got everything here!" Guan Dapeng immediately stepped forward, taking on the task himself.
