Ye Chen slept soundly, but Xiao Churan beside him barely slept all night.
After this evening, she clearly realised just how much she loved Ye Chen.
If she had taken this step earlier, the past six years of married life would surely have added many wonderful memories, and perhaps they would even have had the fruit of their love by now.
Unfortunately, people never have the chance to go back.
The next morning, Xiao Churan’s phone received a WeChat message from Tang Sihai using an alias account.
The content of the WeChat was actually a collection of chat records.
The chat records were sent by someone with a girl’s profile picture, starting with a few sentences: An elderly Chinese gentleman in his sixties was attacked on the streets of Melbourne, and the perpetrators were all local underage teenagers.
“These people are really too much, they beat an old man until his head was bleeding, and he was sent to the hospital for emergency treatment!”
Following that were several pictures, some screenshots from passers-by and surveillance footage, even video clips, the images clearly showed Tang Sihai being surrounded by these people, and finally being attacked by them.
In front of these young people, Tang Sihai had almost no ability to fight back, he was soon knocked to the ground, his face covered in blood, unconscious.
In the later photos, these teenagers leisurely fled the scene, and Tang Sihai was taken to the hospital by an ambulance called by passers-by.
In the chat records, someone asked the girl: “My God! What’s the situation? Why did they beat him?”
The girl said: “This old man was walking normally on the streets of Melbourne, several local teenagers suddenly rushed out from a nearby alley and surrounded him, demanding money to buy cigarettes, after the old man refused, they beat him up in broad daylight, knocked him down, and robbed his wallet and the watch on his wrist!”
“Damn, that’s way too much! How is the old man now, is his life in danger?”
“It’s not clear yet, I heard this old man just immigrated to Australia not long ago, he has no relatives here, we local Chinese are trying to contact and help him.”
The collection of chat records ended there, Xiao Churan was shocked as she looked at it, because she could tell that Tang Sihai’s injuries in the pictures and videos didn’t look fake.
Combined with the frequent reports lately about these lawless teenagers in Australia attacking Asian immigrants on the streets, she realised that Tang Sihai had thrown himself into the situation, created this news, and hoped to draw Ye Chen’s attention to it.
Amid her surprise, she couldn’t help but sigh in her heart that the old subordinates of the Ye family were truly loyal to Ye Chen.
Immediately, she couldn’t help but ask Tang Sihai: “Are you alright?”
Tang Sihai replied: “Thank you for your concern, Madam Ye, it’s not a big deal, I have to trouble Madam to find an opportunity, and find a way to let the young master see this content too.”
“Okay!” Xiao Churan immediately replied.
Then, she checked the time, it was already 7:30 in the morning, she didn’t dare to delay, she dragged her exhausted body out of the quilt.
As soon as she got out of the quilt, she saw the bedsheet with bright red bloodstains on the armchair by the bed, her cheeks immediately turned red to the roots of her ears, she still remembered that after staining the bedsheet last night, Ye Chen simply removed the bedsheet, and laid her quilt under them.
She hadn’t paid attention to these details at the time, but now she discovered such an embarrassing situation, so she quickly took advantage of Ye Chen not being up yet, and carefully folded the bedsheet.
Although her movements were very careful and gentle, they still woke Ye Chen from his sleep, Ye Chen opened his eyes, saw his wife tidying the bedsheet, and couldn’t help but ask in surprise: “Wife, why are you tidying things up as soon as you get up?”
Xiao Churan was startled by him, and quickly said in a panic: “Ah, nothing, just tidying up casually, you’re awake!”
Ye Chen nodded, sat up, and opened his arms to her, saying: “Wife, I want to hug you a bit more.”
Xiao Churan blushed and said: “Don’t hug now, get up and wash first since you’re awake, I’ll call to order some breakfast to be delivered to the room.”
Ye Chen subconsciously said: “We can just go to the restaurant for the buffet.”
Xiao Churan shyly complained: “Then you go by yourself, my whole body is sore, aching, and tired, I don’t want to move at all.”
Ye Chen suddenly realised, so he quickly got up from the bed with a smile, saying: “Then wife, you rest on the sofa for a while, I’ll call to order the meal.”
At this moment, Ye Chen only felt that life was incredibly happy, this qualitative change brought an earth-shattering improvement to their relationship.
After making the call, the hotel soon delivered the breakfast on a trolley to the room, the two sat opposite each other in front of the floor-to-ceiling window where they had eaten cake last night, outside the window was a vast white world, the snow on the roads had been cleared, but the rooftops, treetops, and the tops of many passing vehicles were still covered with thick snow.
The weather, which had been warming up a bit, suddenly dropped a few degrees today, Ye Chen sighed: “The weather is so cold, there doesn’t seem to be much to do in Yanjing, why don’t we go back early.”
Xiao Churan pursed her lips and nodded gently, saying: “I’m fine with anything, I’ll listen to you.”
