章節 182: I'm Sorry
When Han Meixiu woke up again it was already evening. Liu Zijian just came carrying some fruits. The day ended just like that without much happening.
"Are you hungry?" He gently asked.
"Not yet." She simply answered.
"Do you want some fruits?"
"Can you peel an apple for me?" She sweetly said.
"Sure." Liu Zijian carefully washed an apple and carried a tray towards Han Meixiu.
As he started to peel the apple he heard his wife.
"Jian, did Mommy Yi visit me when I was sleeping?" She asked curiously.
Liu Zijian paused for a while. Although it was very quick, Han Meixiu noticed it.
"Did something happen?"
"..."
"Jian..."
"Eat your apple first." He responded and fed her the sliced apple.
While munching the fruit, Han Meixiu didn't rest her question.
"Did you have an..."
"Meixiu, can we not talk about it?" Liu Zijian said without looking at her and was instead concentrating on peeling the apple then slicing a small portion. His voice sounded painful.
Since she couldn't stand seeing him like this she reluctantly agreed.
"Okay. Peel more faster." She gleefully said to change the mood.
Han Meixiu started to plan on how to find it out. She couldn't bear to see Liu Zijian who was seemingly distancing himself to his mother.

It has already been five days since Han Meixiu woke up and she was about to be discharged but she still didn't see any other Liu Family members.
Liu Zijian was avoiding the topic and she couldn't squeeze out any information from Ye Ming. The latter might not really know what's going on between Liu Zijian and Mommy Yi or he's just absolutely loyal to Liu Zijian.
"We can schedule your discharge tomorrow." Liu Zijian said. He has been his personal nurse for the past days not living her alone longer than 30 minutes.
Except from checking his phone from time to time, he didn't really do anything.
She asked him one time if it's okay for him to stay in the hospital this long and not work. He simply answered 'of course'.
Han Meixiu thought that since she would be discharge tomorrow then she could only wait and ask Mommy Yi when they arrived at Liu's Residence.
She passed the entire time sleeping, eating and reading books brought by Liu Zijian. They would also discuss some theoretical topics from time to time.
The next day, although Han Meixiu still has a cast, she could already move freely.
In all honesty, she could have leave the hospital sooner but Liu Zijian opposed it. He reasoned out that she still needed to be checked thoroughly.
Han Meixiu normally wanted to cry inwardly. His attention to her was a bit too much?
Of course she liked it but it seemed that Liu Zijian's days only revolved around her. What about his other responsibilities?
As they silently sat on the car, Han Meixiu noticed something strange as the car steadily moved along the highway.
Her eyes were fine, alright.
Those billboards along the way, they have pictures of her?
When the car stopped because of the red light, she saw that in the magazine stand her face was the cover?
"Why do I feel that I can see my pictures everywhere?"
"Everyone knows you, now. It won't be easy to go out. It's best to leave Q City as soon as possible." Liu Zijian answered.
He remembered when the press were loitering around and pestering him to ask for a permission to publish something about the two of them.
Maybe in the past he wouldn't agree but he really wanted the world to know his wife thus he agreed.
The people were actually delighted to get his permission and started to do their job enthusiastically.
Liu Zijian assigned people to monitor all the published information and pictures circulating in all forms of media.
"What do you mean everyone?" From what she could remember she never stood out. She simply didn't want to. Thus only few people probably knew her.
"After the engagement party." Liu Zijian said. As much as possible he didn't want to recall those times but his wife wasn't someone to stay silent.
He knew that she's been holding herself back not to ask him and probable she's at her limit.
"Huh?"
After that party? Han Meixiu remembered that they didn't actually attend the event. Like always, she wanted to ask what happened but couldn't voice them out.
It seemed a lot things transpired during the time she peacefully recuperating. She looked outside and pouted a little out of frustration.
Liu Zijian sighed seeing her reaction.
"I'll tell you after we arrive."
Han Meixiu turned towards him and smiled. She moved closer to the man and leaned on him peacefully as she closed her eyes.

"We're here." Liu Zijian gently woke Han Meixiu up.
Han Meixiu lazily steched out her body and was surprised to see the place.
"We're not staying in Liu's residence?"
"We'll stay her until we leave Q City."
Han Meixiu just nodded. It's not a bad thing to have their own place but her plan to 'interview' Mommy Yi became an impossible task unless she could get her husband's permission.
After finally settling down, Han Meixiu looked expectantly at Liu Zijian.
"You can ask."
"I don't even know what should I ask. How about telling me what happened from the time you left me with Madam Bai?"
Liu Zijian inhaled deeply before he started to tell her. From the moment he finished ensuring their safety, to the time he found out she's missing, Madam Bai's message and his fight with Chen Dewei.
"After that you found yourself lying on the hospital?"
"Yes. I immediately checked you as I was not really hurt."
"You weren't hurt? Right. Jian I saw your bruises and dried blood when I picked you up..."
"Those were nothing compared to yours."
"I was only exhausted..."
"How do you explain your shoulders?"
Han Meixiu sighed. Knowing him, unless she would admit that she really suffered more than him, they would eventually have a long discussion.
"I got it probably when I fell after the explosion since the ground shook and affected my balance. But it's nothing..."
"You really carried me..." Liu Zijian whispered. The doctor told him about this probability.
Indeed it was him who injured her. Sitting on the sofa he held his head with both hands.
"Jian, I must do it. I can't leave you alone in there!" Han Meixiu tried to explain though she didn't really understand why she had to. But looking at his dejected expression she felt she should say something.
"It should be me saving you. It should be me carrying you and not the other way around..."
"There's no rule that wives can't save their husband! I was the one capable so I must do it."
Was he blaming himself all this time? Was that the reason why he didn't leave her alone?
Han Meixu stood up and knelt down in front of him. She slowly removed his hands and placed her own, cupping his face.
She was right. He's indeed in pain. While she was unconscious he must have been torturing himself.
"I'm sorry..." Liu Zijian murmured.
"Jian, I'm fine. It's not your fault. Whoever set that up, we just need to let them pay, alright?"
Liu Zijian's reaction was not what Han Meixiu expected.
He laughed dryly. The pain on his eyes got even worse.
