Chapter 874 Security
"You...how do you know?" Jiang Mubai was even more surprised. She remembered that she had not told him about this.
Shen Fang looked at her, a subtle hint of deep meaning flashed across his eyes, but the smile on his lips became even gentler: "I naturally have my own channels of information."
He paused, then continued: "Xiaobai, are you hiding something from me?"
Jiang Mubai's heart tightened. Shen Fang's eyes were too sharp for her to handle. She avoided his gaze and answered vaguely, "No, what can I hide from you?"
Shen Fang did not ask any more questions. He just smiled, opened the thermos, filled a bowl of porridge and handed it to her: "Eat something first. You don't look well."
Jiang Mubai took the bowl of porridge but did not eat it immediately. She hesitated for a moment, but could not help asking, "Mr. Shen, do you... know that Lu Qing..."
"I know." Shen Fang interrupted her, his tone calm but with a barely perceptible chill, "I know he approached you for the jade ring."
Jiang Mubai was stunned for a moment. She opened her mouth but didn't know what to say.
Shen Fang looked at her shocked expression and sighed in his heart. He reached out and gently stroked her hair, saying softly, "Xiaobai, don't be afraid. I will protect you."
His voice was as gentle as the spring breeze in March, soothing the anxiety and fear in Jiang Mubai's heart. She raised her head and looked at the man in front of her who had always treated her gently, and an inexplicable sense of security surged in her heart.
"Shen Fang..." She called his name softly, tears welling up in her eyes.
Shen Fang held her in his arms, patted her back gently, and said softly, "It's okay, it's okay, I'll take care of everything."
With Shen Fang's comfort, Jiang Mubai's emotions gradually calmed down. She leaned on his shoulder, feeling his warmth and security, with mixed feelings in her heart.
She didn't understand why Shen Fang was so good to her? They were just partners, and he should have been like Lu Qing, approaching her just for the jade ring, but he helped her and protected her again and again, even at the cost of offending Lu Qing for her.
Could it be... that he really likes me?
As soon as this thought came up, it grew wildly in Jiang Mubai's heart like a weed. She couldn't believe that a man as outstanding as Shen Fang could fall in love with an ordinary woman like her?
"What are you thinking about?" Shen Fang's voice sounded in her ears, interrupting her thoughts.
Jiang Mubai came back to his senses and quickly shook his head: "Nothing... nothing."
Shen Fang looked at her flustered eyes, and a meaningful smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "Xiao Bai, you are blushing."
Jiang Mubai's face suddenly turned red with shame. She wanted to explain, but she didn't know what to say, so she could only bury her head even lower.
Shen Fang looked at her shy appearance, and his heart moved. He lowered his head and whispered in her ear: "Xiao Bai, be my girlfriend."
Jiang Mubai's head exploded with a buzzing sound. She raised her head suddenly and looked at Shen Fang in disbelief.
Shen Fang looked at her surprised expression, and the smile on his face deepened. He asked again, "Be my girlfriend, okay?"
Jiang Mubai's heart was beating wildly. She opened her mouth, wanting to agree, but she was afraid that this was all just a dream.
"Why, you don't want to?" Shen Fang raised his eyebrows and looked at her, with a hint of danger in his tone.
"No... No!" Jiang Mubai quickly denied it. She bit her lip and mustered up the courage to say, "I... I do!"
A brilliant smile suddenly broke out on Shen Fang's face. He hugged her in his arms and bent down to kiss her lips.
"Hmm..." Jiang Mubai exclaimed, but soon indulged in his kiss.
In the corridor outside the ward, Lu Qing stood there with a thermos in his hand, his face gloomy, looking through the crack in the door at the two people kissing in the ward, his eyes full of hurt and anger.
He clenched his fists so tightly that his knuckles turned white, and the thermos in his hands was deformed by him.
"Shen Fang, you dare to snatch a woman from me!" Lu Qing gritted his teeth and said, with a sinister light flashing in his eyes, "I will never let you go!"
Shen Fang's kiss was overbearing and passionate, as if he wanted to rub Jiang Mubai into his body. Jiang Mubai was overwhelmed by this sudden happiness, she closed her eyes and responded to his kiss.
The ward was suddenly filled with an ambiguous atmosphere. Pink bubbles filled the air. Time seemed to stand still. Only the sound of each other's heartbeats could be clearly heard.
Suddenly, the door of the ward was pushed open, and Lu Qing walked in angrily, holding the twisted and deformed thermos in his hand.
"Shen Fang, you are such a despicable person!" Lu Qing gritted his teeth and said. Seeing the two of them kissing, his anger grew even stronger. "You actually took advantage of someone's misfortune!"
Shen Fang slowly let go of Jiang Mubai, turned around, looked at Lu Qing with cold eyes, and raised a mocking arc at the corner of his mouth: "Master Lu, what you said is really interesting. It was obviously you who didn't have the ability to protect Xiaobai, and now you blame me?"
"You..." Lu Qing was so angry that his fingers were trembling as he pointed at Shen Fang. "Don't think I don't know that you approached Xiao Bai just for the jade ring on her hand!"
Shen Fang didn't comment, but just said calmly: "So what? At least I won't be like you, using some despicable means!"
"You!" Lu Qing was completely enraged by Shen Fang's words. He suddenly threw the thermos in his hand at Shen Fang.
Shen Fang dodged quickly, and the thermos hit the wall heavily with a loud bang, and the chicken soup inside spilled all over the floor.
"Lu Qing, are you crazy?!" Jiang Mubai was frightened by this sudden change. She hurried to Shen Fang to check if he was injured.
Seeing Jiang Mubai's nervous look, Lu Qing felt even more jealous and angry. He grabbed Jiang Mubai's arm, pulled her to his side, and shouted, "Follow me!"
"Lu Qing, let me go!" Jiang Mubai struggled, but couldn't break free from Lu Qing's grip.
"Xiaobai, are you really going to go with him?" Shen Fang looked at Jiang Mubai, his eyes filled with hurt and loneliness.
Jiang Mubai looked at Shen Fang's hurt eyes and felt a pain in her heart. She wanted to speak, but didn't know what to say.
"Why, you can't bear to let go?" Lu Qing sneered, "I tell you, Shen Fang is a hypocrite. He approaches you not because he really likes you!"
"Lu Qing, shut up!" Jiang Mubai finally couldn't help it. She shook off Lu Qing's hand and shouted, "You have no right to talk about him!"
Lu Qing was startled by Jiang Mubai's sudden outburst. He stared at Jiang Mubai blankly, his eyes full of disbelief.
"I'm telling you, it's my freedom to choose who I like, and you have no right to interfere!" Jiang Mubai pointed at Lu Qing's nose and said angrily, "Also, don't come to me again in the future!"
