Chapter 274: Chapter 274: His Sacrifice for Her

Jiang Yan pursed his lips, obediently taking her hand to return to their room. He planned to have a good talk with her back in the room.

Wang Miaomiao didn’t notice his intentions, yawning as the day’s unexpected events had been rather thrilling. She was physically and mentally exhausted, and finally, after waiting for Jiang Yan to come back, sleepiness hit her hard and couldn’t be stopped…

Back in the room, she got into bed and under the covers in one smooth motion. “Turn off the light…” she said, before burying her whole body under the quilt, leaving only half her head outside, and fell asleep as soon as she closed her eyes.

Jiang Yan looked at her delicate nose and curved eyelashes for a long time… noticing her steady breathing, was she asleep?

He shook his head with a wry smile. He originally wanted to talk to her, but now he could only accompany her to sleep. Forget it, she was tired today, they could talk tomorrow, anyway, she was in his arms and wouldn’t run anywhere.

Thinking this way, Jiang Yan turned off the light, got into bed quietly. As soon as he lay down, Wang Miaomiao wrapped her arms and legs around him. Jiang Yan habitually stretched his arm under her neck, hugging her securely as he fell asleep peacefully.

Human habits are really strange. A few years ago, even if he was beaten to death, he wouldn’t believe he could sleep so unruly.

He used to think that sleeping straight on his back in the army was ingrained in his bones. Unexpectedly, after meeting her, he realized that nothing was impossible.

A dreamless night passed, Wang Miaomiao slept soundly, seemingly unaffected by yesterday’s events.

Upon waking up, she found something unusual.

Opening her eyes, she saw the man who always woke up earlier than her for his morning training, surprisingly hadn’t gotten up yet today. Strange…

Wang Miaomiao looked at the man right in front of her, his features were exquisite, his profile clear-cut, with thick eyebrows and long eyelashes, a high straight nose, and thin lips slightly pressed together…

Uncontrollably, Wang Miaomiao reached out to touch his lips; people said those with thin lips were indifferent, but she knew that wasn’t true.

His lips were well-shaped, typically thin-lipped, yet he was deeply emotional. Whether towards her, his family, or comrades… he would never let down those he held dear.

As she gently caressed, unable to let go, suddenly, his thin lips parted slightly, and her finger was lightly trapped, which startled Wang Miaomiao. She quickly withdrew her hand like a frightened little rabbit, her eyelashes fluttering, looking up at the man and indeed, met a pair of deep, ocean-like black eyes.

In that instant, those eyes sparkled like stars, now carrying a slight smile, “Awake?”

The deep, slightly hoarse voice with a hint of magnetic charm, gave Wang Miaomiao the feeling that her ears were getting pregnant from listening.

“Mm…” Originally reddened from just waking up, Wang Miaomiao’s cheeks now turned even redder, her ears flushing pink, extremely adorable.

Perhaps in Jiang Yan’s eyes, she was the most beautiful no matter what she looked like. Even that scar on her forehead, in his eyes, was beautified.

To him, that light pink scar was a tiny, pink, heart-shaped mark, equally adorable.

Sigh, indeed, beauty lies in the eyes of the beholder.

Seeing her embarrassed, Jiang Yan softly chuckled, leaning over to leave a gentle kiss on her forehead, “If you’re awake, get up, it’s not early anymore…”

Jiang Yan actually woke up earlier, but seeing her sleeping so soundly, for once, he didn’t want to leave, savoring the rare occasion to laze in bed. He realized that every time he lingered in bed, it was only because of her…

Jiang Yan sat up, dressing himself while handing her clothes. After he dressed and got out of bed, Wang Miaomiao had only managed to pull a sweater over her head.

“Haha… need my help?” Jiang Yan stood by the bedside, looking down at her with a teasing smile…

“No, you go…” Wang Miaomiao buried her head deeper into the sweater collar, stubbornly saying, “I’ll get up after you leave.”

Jiang Yan, having no alternative, agreed, “Alright, I’m going.” As he said this, he thoughtfully placed her clothes beside her pillow, ensuring she only needed to stretch her arm slightly to reach them without getting cold.

Jiang Yan left the room without asking her about yesterday’s matter.

After a night’s sleep, seeing her state now, he felt there was no need to ask anymore.

After breakfast, Jiang Yan insisted on taking Wang Miaomiao to school. As they walked on, Wang Miaomiao finally realized things and wiggled their intertwined fingers, “Honey, did you find out?”

Jiang Yan softly affirmed, “As soon as I got home last night, Grandpa told me. I’m sorry, Miaomiao, for not being able to be there to help you when you needed me…”

“You don’t have to apologize; it’s not your fault. No one expected her to suddenly go crazy and start attacking people,” Wang Miaomiao detected the guilt in his tone and immediately retorted.

Such unexpected events aren’t something anyone wants, so how can responsibility be blamed on someone unrelated?

Jiang Yan had anticipated his wife’s understanding. He lightly affirmed without refuting her words, gently rubbing her head… eliciting her impatient huffing.

Wang Miaomiao had thought he would be furious, yet he just lightly accepted it. Such an attitude… is it right? Wasn’t she his most important person?

Wang Miaomiao glanced at him, and he gave her a slight smile. She looked again, and he smiled once more. After several of these exchanges… finally, Wang Miaomiao pursed her lips angrily, entered the school gates, and, caught up in her little mood, forgot to even say goodbye…

Jiang Yan watched her sulk with a slight smile, her temper, sigh…

Would Jiang Yan just let it go like this? Of course not, watching her figure grow distant and eventually out of sight, he waited a bit longer… before finally turning to leave.

He didn’t go to work first but went to the police station.

As Wang Miaomiao walked into a corner, she stealthily turned back to check, seeing her man standing straight and tall there, like a landscape, attracting frequent glances and peeks from the girls on campus, or openly admiring the handsome figure…

In Wang Miaomiao’s heart, there was pride mixed with jealousy, truly a bittersweet feeling.

“Miao Miao, you’re here… how’s it going? Is there any result?” Li Jiajia’s voice rang out from behind, prompting Wang Miaomiao to turn back and smile, “I don’t know, it’s not that fast.”

“Right… it’s only been a night.” Li Jiajia realized her impatience, laughing awkwardly.

Walking side by side, Wang Miaomiao said, “Yeah, anyway, the person has been caught, and the police will definitely give me an explanation, no rush.”

The two walked towards the classroom, naturally encountering classmates, but none cast strange looks at her. Wang Miaomiao raised an eyebrow, somewhat surprised…

She had expected that even though she had given a warning after yesterday’s incident, there would be no shortage of people talking behind her back.

Unexpectedly, today was so peaceful. Then again, she remembered that it seemed the principal came yesterday, could it be due to the principal’s influence?
