Chapter 2096: House Arrest

The man’s actions were always rough, forcing Ye Wanting to take a few steps back, protecting the small cake in the paper bag.

Suddenly looking up, she saw these two men exuding an extraordinary aura, especially their eyes, which were too piercing, choking back the words Ye Wanting wanted to say. A cold chill ran through her, and it took all her courage to keep standing there.

“Who are you? Why are you standing here?”

The two men glanced at her critically but did not answer.

Ye Wanting broke out in a cold sweat. She was very scared, but she was even more concerned about Yaen Chi. Why was he being watched over by such fierce people? Had something happened?

The more she thought about it, the more alarmed she felt, biting her lip hard to give herself strength, deliberately asking loudly, “I’m a friend of the patient inside, who are you? This is a hospital, not a place for messing around. If you don’t leave, I’ll call someone!”

The two men still ignored her, like two door gods, not budging an inch.

Ye Wanting almost wanted to force her way through, but didn’t have the courage. Yet, thinking of Yaen Chi still inside, she gathered her resolve and charged forward.

Little did she know, when those two men saw someone crashing into them, instead of moving aside, they didn’t hesitate for a second and stood in the middle, blocking the door completely.

Ye Wanting couldn’t stop her momentum and closed her eyes in fear.

Oh well, if it hurts, it hurts.

At least she could make a noise to alert the people inside.

But the expected disaster didn’t occur. Suddenly, a pair of hands appeared at her waist, pulling her aside and then supporting her waist securely.

Ye Wanting’s frail body crashed into the man’s solid embrace.

She opened her eyes, almost joyfully looking up, but instead of the face she expected, she saw a half-familiar one.

“You…”

“You?”

They both spoke at the same time, but it was clear Li Jian had already recognized her.

“Aren’t you the little sister always protected by young Yaen Chi?”

He had been to a few gatherings of these people before in Rongcheng City.

He hadn’t directly interacted with Ye Wanting, but he was habitually vigilant, needing to get a clear understanding of the surroundings and people. He indeed had investigated Ye Wanting, a rather pitiful little girl, with no background or temperament. He had heard a few details from his subordinates’ reports, and because Yaen Chi was always protective, he paid a bit more attention.

Ye Wanting, however, had forgotten about this person. Realizing they were too close, she immediately backed away, retreated a few steps, and stood from a distance.

“Who are you?”

Li Jian raised an eyebrow and laughed. He had been resting next door and came out when he heard the commotion, “Little girl, looking for Yaen Chi?”

Ye Wanting’s expression became even more tense, urgently asking, “Who are these people? Why are they guarding Brother Chi’s door?”

“Oh.”

Li Jian turned his head to ask the two bodyguards, “She’s asking you, who are you? Why aren’t you answering? Have you gone mute?”

“…”

The two subordinates looked bewildered.

Is this something they could talk about?

If they let slip a word, wouldn’t Li Jian train them half to death when they get back?

“See,” Li Jian raised his hand to point, then spread his hands at Ye Wanting, “No response.”

Ye Wanting became even more anxious, “Then who are you? Do you know who they are? Brother Chi is still inside, why… why are they doing this? This is a hospital, it’s too outrageous!”

Li Jian was quite surprised, wondering if young girls naturally imagine themselves in melodramatic plots?

He found it amusing and deliberately teased, “How outrageous? Do you think they’ve kidnapped Yaen Chi?”
