A week went quickly, and surprisingly Xiao Ni and Wang Kai haven't been fighting again. The next day when she woke up in their bedroom, Wang Kai has gone to the company. He did not leave any notes for her, so she was assuming he was still angry at her.
Although it was heartbreaking, she has no choice but to accept the silent treatment.
Perhaps, this is the best solution for them right now.
But to her surprised, he sends her an email in the evening.
Wang Kai <Z@wkxn.wf>
To: <W@wkxn.wf>
'I know you felt traumatic still. I'm sorry that I failed to protect you at that time. I won't make you feel uncomfortable, but can we at least talk? With message? You don't have to see me this way, right?'
Wang Kai
Wang Kai <Z@wkxn.wf>
To: <W@wkxn.wf>
Ps. I'm still angry.
Wang Kai.
He sounds so desperate, but salty makes her even sadder. Xiao Ni contemplated it before she types an 'okay' and sends it to him. But the conversation is more like a QnA rather than chatting. Wang Kai will ask her something, and she will reply shortly.
But he did not complain and still sending her text every day. The old Xiao Ni would happily cheer upon their change of role. In the past, she has to be the one to start a conversation. But she has become Wang Kai now!
It was a week after she got out of the hospital. Xiao Ni was bound to meet her husband. Wang Kai did not say a word to her, but every now and then, he would take care of her.
When she wanted to drink, he grabs the bottle first and opens the lid.
When the road is bumpy, and she almost jerked to the front. Wang Kai's long-arm would protect her.
Even when her phone battery low, he casually throws his power bank to her side.
Xiao Ni really wanted to make up with him, only that it would make her want to tell him the truth. Can he forgive her for what she has done? What will happen after she tells the truth?
She could only take a deep breath and daze off once again. After the general check-up, Wang Kai stays longer to ask the doctor several things while he 'chase' Xiao Ni away. Since she was bored, she starts to walk around the hospital.
She ends up bumping into Senior Song Wei Long.
"Xiao Ni?"
"Oh, Senior Song! How coincidental to meet you!"
"Yes, how coincidental. Follow up general check-up?"
Xiao Ni nodded her head, then look around. The hall was quite deserted, with only a few people seating or passing by. "You are not busy...?" Xiao Ni raised her eyebrow.
Upon hearing her question, Song Wei Long lowered his head and chuckle. He raised his index finger to brush his eyebrow and tease Xiao Ni. "Are you chasing me away right now?"
Xiao Ni realized her question might cause a misunderstanding. She quickly waves her hand frantically. "No, I don't mean it like that... It just, in the movie, the doctor seems to be busy that they usually run in the hallway treating a patient."
Song Wei Long grinned and reply. "Well, you might see that on the Accident and Emergency department. Not on the VIP ward."
"Ahh... I see, people still do that, huh?" Xiao Ni smiles warily. Song Wei Long did not say anything but wrinkles his nose. Cute.
Rich people like to exaggerate things. So in this VIP Ward, there are more healthy patients that then seriously ill one. Usually, Song Wei Long would refuse to take care of VIP patients. However, the director of the hospital gives him exceptional cases.
He's working with several top doctors to treat this. Especially one patient. He agreed because the patient is someone he knew. Tired, they decided to sit on the bench while chatting.
Chatting with Song Wei Long is incredibly relaxing. He's so smart and charming that Xiao Ni felt very comfortable around him. She did not even realize that she is telling him about her problem.
"I have two dogs. They are especially naughty and gluttonous. However, I think my husband is spoiling them. They only wanted to eat steak and never ate a vegetable!"
Song Weilong laughs before shooking his head. "You have such a fancy dog. But you don't need to worry dog naturally does not eat a vegetable. However, giving them human food is especially not good for them."
Xiao Ni gasp and quickly cover her mouth after the shockwaves. "What? Not good? what will happen to them, will they died?" She was worry right now.
Oh no, Mumu and Momo especially enjoy eating steak and brown ketchup minced meat. Although she likes to complain of how high maintenance her kids were, she did not hesitate to give them their favorite food every day.
If their kids really died, it's all because of her!
Song Weilong shook his head, give her a reassuring smile that calms her a little bit. "No, don't worry. It's not that severe. But I suggest you give them raw meat or dog food instead."
"Oh... I see," Xiao Ni mumbles. Those two rascals did not even want to eat chicken. Can they eat raw meat or dog food?
"Just take it slow," Song Weilong said kindly. Xiao Ni nodded her head, returning the smiles. Song Weilong saw Wang Kai piercing look towards him but quickly averted his gaze to Xiao Ni.
"Your husband has come out."
Xiao Ni turns her head and saw Wang Kai cold face from the doctor's door and quickly bid her goodbye. Wang Kai waits for Xiao Ni to approached him before he starts walking to the car.
His whole face was dark. He did not even try to hide his anger in front of Xiao Ni. The pressure coming out from his expression is enough to make Xiao Ni distress.
"I was just talking casually to Senior Song because I was bored." Xiao Ni verbally talks to him for the first time in a week.
Maybe because he has long not heard her soothing voice and how she willing to explain, Wang Kai's anger disputes into half. He hummed and said, "I know"
Xiao Ni nods her head did now know how to continue the conversation. It's so funny how they could chatting nonstop in the past but now they did not have extra words to say to each other.
"The script you choose is very hard, are you sure you wanted to do this?" Wang Kai raised his eyebrow.
Despite in the middle of the cold war with Xiao Ni. Xiao Ni is still his wife, his responsibilities. He didn't want to put her on more stress after forbidding her to do something she wanted.
Initially, he also likes the script the first time he read it. The story is touching and meaningful. However, the condition and setting of this story are too harsh. But Xiao Ni was determined this time, she mentions about this script several times.
In the end, he could only give in and do what he could to prevent the unfortunate event. That's why he stays very long at the doctor's office.
"I want..." She answers.
Wang Kai nodded then typing something on his phone until they reached the car. Xiao Ni once again got an email with a pdf file. What she doesn't know is, he also send it to Lulu, her assistant.
"I can't come with you there, I have an important business meeting. So can you please let Taylor go and protect you?"
He asked in such a gentle and polite way. Xiao Ni would we unreasonable if she didn't agree, so she nodded.
On Monday, she travels to the rural village with the crew to shot the film. As she has agreed, Taylor was there to protect Xiao Ni this time. What she did not expect is Wang Kai give Lulu another job, which was...
"Mr.Wang we are boarding soon," Lulu said as she directing the phone towards Xiao Ni. Xiao Ni was dumbfounded when she found Wang Kai nonchalant face on the screen.
"Hmm, good. The area you wanted to reach is a little bit hard to reach. I've prepared a helicopter for you. Be safe." Wang Kai said to Xiao Ni.
Xiao Ni nods her head slightly. "You too, be safe."
Wang Kai was stunned. It's a simple sentence but make his heart pound. How long it is since she cared about him? He suddenly felt refreshed as s a gentle little smile tug on his face.
"En, I will."
He continued his work afterward and Lulu closes the video call after the board the plane. What she doesn't expect is, Lulu will call Wang Kai afterward, and continue the video call.
"..."

Xiao Ni : "Aren't you being too much?!"
Wang Kai: "Did I hinder the course of shooting?"
Xiao Ni : "No! But videocalling for 24/7, that is too overbearing!"
Wang Kai: "Stop complaining. Either I follow you there right now or let me have my peace from this videocall."
Xiao Ni : "..."
