After all, this was a state-owned restaurant with people coming and going. In the end, Wang Yuanyuan withdrew her hand. "Will you... really help me?"
Wang Yuanyuan lowered her head slightly, with tears still hanging on her eyelashes. She really looked like she needed to be protected. She had always known that she was beautiful. Since childhood, she liked to imitate Wang Meixia and even practiced her every frown and smile in front of the mirror. She knew what kind of expressions could evoke sympathy and pity. However, she forgot that there was still a clear tooth mark on her neck at this moment.
Sun Wenbin was also a normal man. He had done a lot of debauchery in the past. Now, after changing his identity and coming to the countryside, he had been pent - up for so long. Looking at Wang Yuanyuan's broken and deliberately flattering appearance, his eyes were full of pity, but his heart was surging with perverted possessiveness. This woman was both beautiful and stupid, simply a plaything and a pawn sent to him by God.
"Of course," Sun Wenbin's voice was low and full of certainty. He slowly approached Wang Yuanyuan and gently wiped the tears from the corner of her eyes with his fingertips. His fingertips were calloused, and he deliberately softened his movements. "Look at you, ruining yourself like this. How can I ignore you? Eat your meal first, and then we'll discuss a way."
"Don't worry. My family has some connections. No matter what kind of grievances you've suffered, as long as you tell me, I'll do my best to help you."
His words precisely hit Wang Yuanyuan's sore spot. Her shoulders trembled violently, and tears gushed out like a broken - dammed flood.
She really needed someone to give her a hand now, even just to comfort her. She had gone through such a painful thing. Clearly, she was the victim, but no one felt sorry for her. She was very aggrieved. Her grandmother always wanted to find a good family for her to marry into, calculating the benefits she could bring to the family. Her little aunt seemed to be kind to her, but that was also because of her constant flattery. And her parents' partiality... All these things made Wang Yuanyuan always feel that no one was really good to her.
At this moment, in Wang Yuanyuan's eyes, Sun Wenbin was the only one who was good to her.
Wang Yuanyuan held the chopsticks that Sun Wenbin had handed her and nodded gently.
Sun Wenbin looked at her completely dependent appearance, the corner of his mouth twitched into a smile that quickly disappeared.
After the meal, Sun Wenbin took Wang Yuanyuan back to the village. He asked Wang Yuanyuan to wait at the foot of the mountain, then went to the male educated - youth dormitory to get some ointment. He took Wang Yuanyuan up the mountain. Along the way, Sun Wenbin told jokes to amuse her and picked wild flowers on the mountain for her. Wang Yuanyuan was also touched by Sun Wenbin's cheerfulness. She regretted why she hadn't discovered Sun Wenbin's goodness earlier. If only last night hadn't happened.
Sun Wenbin led her to a secluded place and asked Wang Yuanyuan to sit on a rock. He took out the ointment and gently applied it to Wang Yuanyuan's wound. From Sun Wenbin's eyes, Wang Yuanyuan seemed to see a mist, with both pity and helplessness.
Under Sun Wenbin's gentle gaze, Wang Yuanyuan belatedly remembered the tooth mark on her neck. Suddenly, she felt an inexplicable sense of shame and subconsciously lowered her head, but was gently held by the chin by Sun Wenbin, forcing her to look up. "You don't have to be like this. It's not your fault." Sun Wenbin's fingertips rubbed against her lips and slowly approached.
Wang Yuanyuan's heart was pounding wildly. When Sun Wenbin's fingers brushed across her lips, she trembled slightly as if stung, but was reluctant to dodge.
This was the first time a man had looked at her with such a gentle look. Wang Yuanyuan closed her eyes, and her eyelashes fluttered. The smell of soap and sweat on Sun Wenbin made her feel very safe. She felt his warm breath on her face. The next second, Sun Wenbin's lips gently landed on her forehead, a kiss as light as a feather, and then quickly left.
Wang Yuanyuan suddenly opened her eyes and saw Sun Wenbin's blushing cheeks. At this moment, Wang Yuanyuan's heart was completely softened. There was no calculation or possession in this man's eyes, only pity. Wang Yuanyuan instantly broke down, reached out and tightly hugged Sun Wenbin's waist, buried her face in his chest, and cried loudly, "Brother Sun, I only have you... You must help me."
Sun Wenbin could feel her heartbeat through his clothes. He suppressed the desire in his heart, and the corner of his mouth twitched into a very faint smile, so fast that it was hard to catch. He raised his hand and gently patted Wang Yuanyuan's back.
He couldn't be hasty now. Although he was a little impatient in his heart, he knew that one couldn't eat hot tofu in a hurry. He wanted to make Wang Yuanyuan completely at his disposal. He gently tapped her forehead. "From today on, you are my woman, and I'll protect you for the rest of your life."
"You said that the entire Xiao family has been sent to the countryside. Then we'll start with the Xiao family. See if you can find out where the Xiao family has been sent. We can use the Xiao family to contain Xiao Mandong."
Suddenly, Wang Yuanyuan felt a sense of enlightenment and nodded vigorously like a chick pecking at rice. "I'll ask my little aunt tomorrow to see if she knows. If she doesn't, see if she can find out."
Sun Wenbin smiled contentedly and reached out again to wipe the tears from her face. Good, the pawn was in place.
Meanwhile, Xiao Mandong was called to Shen Linzhou's ward by Zhou Qichuan. Zhou Qichuan reported to his superiors today, and the superiors gave instructions. This Old Kai was a remnant of the Kuomintang's Secret Service and an important figure in the contact of spies. This person must be captured at all costs, and of course, the safety of the masses must also be ensured. Shen Linzhou was also involved in this capture operation, and of course, Xiao Mandong's cooperation was also needed.
The army had investigated Xiao Mandong's file at the fastest speed. Although her family had been sent to the countryside, the Xiao family had donated supplies to the country during a special period. In fact, the Xiao family was a red capitalist family. The biggest suspicion about the Xiao family was that there was a daughter who had gone abroad. However, after investigation, this aunt of Xiao Mandong who was abroad had not had any contact with the country since the Xiao family was sent to the countryside.
Finally, the army decided that Zhou Qichuan should tell Xiao Mandong the truth with some reservations, hoping that Xiao Mandong could cooperate with the army to capture this Old Kai.
After listening to Zhou Qichuan, Xiao Mandong sat on the bench and thought for a long time. Xiao Manxue really wasn't suitable for the countryside, and now the matter of the spies was also urgent. Even if Old Kai was captured, they would have offended these people. For the sake of safety, they should take this opportunity to find a better place for Xiao Manxue, so that she could help her family who had been sent to the countryside without any distractions.
"I'll go out for a while." Xiao Mandong turned and walked out of the ward. Xiao Manxue was still reading medical books in her office.
People were coming and going in the office. Xiao Mandong pulled Xiao Manxue to the window at the end of the corridor. "Manxue, do you want to go to school?"
"If I can get you a quota to enter a worker - peasant - soldier university, would you like to go to school?"
