Liwei looked at Jin Liang who was looking down and was not even looking at him.
Hearing Jin Liang's words, he sighed and looked at him for a while and said, " Don't blame yourself. It's not your fault. It's that man's fault who kidnapped Xie Ming. You don't need to feel guilty."
" And if there is any one's fault, then it should have been me. I should have picked her up rather than letting her take the taxi or at least send a car for her."
" It's not your mistake. What's done is done. We can't change it. For now, we can only go through this and try to overcome this unfortunate situation."
Jin Liang looked at Liwei and felt more miserable when he heard his brother's words. Right now, he did not seem cold like his usual self but he was strangely calm and tender while speaking.
If Liwei has shouted at him than he would have been felt less guilty but now when he is not blaming him, Jin Liang felt more distressed and guilty.
Mother Jin saw Jin Liang's expression and sighed." Liwei is right. It's not your fault. Don't blame it on yourself. More importantly, Xie Ming is fine now."
Mother Jin tried to calm him and patted Jin Liang's shoulder.
Jin Liang looked at Liwei and said, " Brother, you should have yelled at me and punish me. Saying all these words, you're making me feel more guilty and miserable, " he said in a low voice.
Liwei looked at him in amusement. Whenever he punishes him or shouts at him then he complains to his mother like a child. But now when he was asking him to let go then he wants him to punish him.
He sighed and shook his head helplessly.
He walked towards Jin Liang and said coldly, " Give me your card." while extending his hand.
Jin Liang looked at him in confusion. Card? What card?
He blinked his eyes innocently at Liwei.
" You said you wanted punishment. So I am taking your card and will keep it for a month. You will only use your allowance that I give you and no extra spending. This will be your punishment."
Jin Liang: " -_-"
" Brother, that's not what I am talking about. I.. How will I live without my card? If you want to give me punishment, then I will not go to the club for a month. But.. not the card, please. How will I survive this month." Jin Liang begged him.
Mother Jin doesn't know whether to cry or laugh.
Just know Jin Liang was feeling down and looks like he was truly guilty and now he was negotiating his punishment.
She shook her head, ' I unestimated him. '
Jin Liwei didn't say anything to Liang and extended his hand as if asking him to give the card.
Jin Liang tried to look as innocent as possible but Liwei didn't bother with him. In the end, Jin Liang had to give his card to him with much reluctance.
.....
When the Jin family left the Villa, Jin Liwei went to Xie Ming's room and sat by her side.
She was still sleeping but her brows were furrowed. Her expressions do not seem to be fine and sweat beads were forming on her forehead.
He felt bad seeing her in this condition. He placed his cool fingers on his warm forehead and tried to remove those creases on her forehead.
He kept patting her lightly on the forehead and her breathing seems to look normal and she was sleeping calmly.
Liwei reluctantly had a few bites of the food because Mother Jin asked the butler to make sure that he eats dinner.
After that, he laid beside and hugged her to sleep.
....
The next morning, Xie Ming woke up and reluctantly opened her eyes.
She felt the pain in her head and lightly touched it.
" ssh." she winced in pain when she touched the bandage on her forehead. She remembered all the events that happened yesterday. Her body shudders at the thought.
She unconsciously turned to her side to see Liwei who was sleeping beside her with his hand wrapped around her waist.
Under his eyes, she could see dark circles and his face looked exhausted and worn out.
Xie Ming felt a surge of emotions in her heart when she realized that she was home.
She remembered what happened yesterday but she was not sure how did they found her and when.
She held her head and tried to remember and the only thing she knows that the man stabbed something in her leg which makes her fall unconscious.
She doesn't know what happened to her and when did they find her out.
She suddenly sat up and looked at her clothes. She was wearing her pajamas but don't know who changed her into one.
She was frightened and kept looking at her pale face in the mirror in front.
Liwei woke up when he felt her movements and saw her sitting on the bed. Seeing that she woke up, he immediately sat up and asks her, " Ming, do you feel uncomfortable anywhere?"
" Is it painful?" he said while lightly touching the injury on her forehead.
Xie Ming looked at him in a daze and hesitantly asked him, " Liwei, did something happen to me when I was unconscious? Did... That man.." her voice trembles when she spoke. She wanted to ask him if that man did something to her but he interrupted her.
Before she could complete her words, Liwei looked at her intently and said, " Sshh. Don't think too much. Before he could touch you, we found you. You're fine. Nothing happened to you."
Liwei could see the panic in her eyes. She was frightened that when she was unconscious something happened to her.
She was trembling at the thought that the man has taken her advantage when she was unconscious.
But when she heard Liwei's words, she felt relieved.
Liwei saw that she was still a little scared, and pulled her into his embrace, " Don't think too much. Now you're home. You're safe."
Xie Ming was feeling emotionally drained and tired but in his embrace, she felt secure and warm.
" Thank you for saving me. If not for you than I don't know what would have happened to me." her voice trembled when she said those words in his embrace.
When Liwei heard her words, his heart ached because her body was shivering in his embrace and he could feel the fear in her heart.
He lovingly rubbed her back and coaxed her, " Nothing would have happened to you. Now don't think about what happened. You're fine and that's all matter." he pecked on her forehead when he finished his words.
Xie Ming smiled when she received his kiss.
