Chapter 163 Applying Medicine

Xie Kaiwen's words seemed to have finally settled the matter.

Even though Liu Zhiyi behind him was about to bite his teeth off, it was of no avail.

Amidst the cheers from all over the room, Mr. Xie and Xie Yanchuan looked at each other from a distance, and finally the old man left the stage decisively with a sullen face.

In the end, because Jiang Wanning was still injured, the engagement party ended with just a simple formality.

Jiang Wanning's elder and second brothers stayed behind to maintain order in the venue, while Xie Yanchuan quickly took Jiang Wanning to the lounge in the backcourt.

As soon as they entered the door, they saw Yue Lin with tears in her eyes.

"Ningning, that's great. You're finally back. I didn't realize how worried I was just now."

"If something really happened to you, I would probably have trouble with my conscience for the rest of my life."

This surprised Jiang Wanning a little.

She had always thought that Yue Lin was the kind of woman who looked very strong, but she didn't expect that she had such an emotional side in private.

"I'm fine."

Seeing this, Jiang Wanning smiled and comforted the other party: "Sister Yue Lin, don't blame yourself too much. This is actually my fault."

"Xie Yanchuan and I made this plan, but we were really worried about the crowds and the potential for confusion, so we didn't tell you in advance."

"It's good that you're okay, it's good that you're okay." Yue Lin wiped her tears and wanted to say something else, but finally, under Xie Yanchuan's gaze, she tactfully left the room, leaving the two of them alone.

"Then I'll go wait outside. If you need anything, just call me, Mr. Xie."

Xie Yanchuan nodded without comment.

Seeing Yue Lin finally leaving the lounge with a look of reluctance, Xie Yanchuan lowered his eyes to meet Jiang Wanning's face, which was obviously even paler than before, and then half-knelt down: "Ningning, lift up your clothes a little."

Jiang Wanning's fingertips on the wheelchair couldn't stop trembling.

After listening to Xie Yanchuan's words, the expression on her face seemed to become even paler.

Jiang Wanning felt as if beads of sweat the size of beans were rolling down her forehead, along the ends of her hair, and sliding into her neck.

After a long while, she seemed to finally regain her senses, and raised her hands tremblingly to lift the clothes covering her abdomen.

At the same time, her slender waist, which was not even as thin as a hand, was exposed.

At this time, it was almost covered by a large piece of gauze and most of it was wrapped with bandages.

And now, traces of bright red blood had seeped out of the originally bright white gauze.

Jiang Wanning gritted her teeth and closed her eyes, feeling dizzy.

At the same time, she sighed inwardly, she had indeed reached her limit. Fortunately, Xie Yanchuan had asked Yue Lin to leave just now, otherwise, she would probably faint in front of everyone due to physical discomfort in the next second.

A rustling sound came from her ears, and Jiang Wanning opened her eyes again. She saw that Xie Yanchuan seemed to sigh, and then took out new gauze and painkillers that had been prepared long ago from the side.

"The wound is still torn and bleeding."

Xie Yanchuan's eyes seemed to blame Jiang Wanning for her reckless behavior, but in the end, after seeing the latter's innocent and slightly painful look, he couldn't help but feel distressed.

"I'll change the medicine for you first. It might be a little painful, so you need to bear with it."

The man's tone was gentler than ever before.

Such a rare and even somewhat strange scene, if seen by opponents who had fought with Xie Yanchuan before, they would probably be so shocked that their jaws would drop, and they might even wonder if he was possessed by some strange creature.

Jiang Wanning nodded reluctantly. In fact, after the previous burst of energy passed, the pain came back and she was in so much pain that she could hardly speak.

With Xie Yanchuan's hand, Jiang Wanning took the painkiller. When she lowered her eyes, she saw Xie Yanchuan carefully picking up the gauze on her abdomen that was already oozing blood with tweezers.

In fact, when Xie Yanchuan was younger, getting injured and treating wounds was a common occurrence for him.

Sometimes, the injuries he suffered were even more serious than Jiang Wanning's this time.

During the most serious incident, Xie Yanchuan nearly lost half his life, but he remained calm and dealt with his injuries. He then attended two meetings in a row. He collapsed straight down at the end of the meeting, almost scaring Wen Shihua, who was accompanying him, to death.

So to sum up, he had been through so much, and logically, he should have been accustomed to wounds of this extent, but right now, the man's hand holding the tweezers couldn't stop trembling slightly.

It was just a simple dressing change, but it made him sweat profusely. He looked even more embarrassed than the patient Jiang Wanning.

Seeing the blood-stained gauze falling to the ground in clumps and being replaced with new ones, the two seemed to feel relieved at the same time.

Jiang Wanning's long eyelashes trembled slightly. What she didn't say just now was that perhaps because Xie Yanchuan's movements were too gentle, the wound on her abdomen didn't actually feel that painful.

In addition, there was even a slight, barely perceptible itch that made her gaze involuntarily fall on Xie Yanchuan's exquisite face.

Jiang Wanning's originally quiet heartbeat also began to beat wildly.

It seemed more intense than any previous time.

Jiang Wanning couldn't help but close her eyes tightly, feeling that she was becoming more and more "terminally ill".

It wasn't until the dressing change was finally over that the painkillers she had just taken seemed to take effect, and the pain in her abdomen, which had been too painful to ignore, seemed to be relieved a lot at this moment.

Jiang Wanning let out a long sigh: "Xie Yanchuan, let's discuss something."

"What's up?"

Xie Yanchuan, who was packing his things, looked up when he heard the voice and suddenly met her sparkling eyes.

Being looked at like this, Jiang Wanning seemed a little embarrassed: "It's just..."

She hesitated for a moment and said, "Can you please keep my injury a secret for me and don't tell my brother and the others?"

"What is it that you want to hide from us? What is it that we cannot know?"

But almost at the moment when Jiang Wanning finished speaking, the door of the originally locked lounge was opened from the outside.

Jiang Wenzhou and Jiang Qingyan came in at some point, and Yue Lin, who looked obviously embarrassed, was standing outside the door.

"I'm sorry, Ning Ning, Mr. Xie. I saw they were your brothers, so I let them in without permission."

Jiang Wanning: “…”

Jiang Wanning's prepared words were caught off guard by the real person, and the originally obedient expression on her face instantly turned into a bitter one.

Jiang Wanning looked at Xie Yanchuan for help, but was met with a look that clearly showed she was "helpless."

Just as he was about to explode, Jiang Wenzhou's "rebellious" big hand fell on his head.

The eldest brother rudely ruffled her beautiful long hair, and said with gritted teeth: "I was the one who found the hospital that Xie Yanchuan took you to."

"Are you planning to find an accomplice to hide this from me?"

"Neither of you can escape today!"
