"Dr. Xu, please be a little gentler..."

Jiang Qiaoqiao watched as Xu Yizhou used tweezers to roughly remove the small stones embedded in Huo Beixiao's flesh and couldn't help but remind him.

Xu Yizhou:......

A man like Boss Huo wouldn't even flinch if he needed ten or eight stitches without anesthesia. So why bother being gentle with a minor scratch?

He was just about to tell Jiang Qiaoqiao about Huo Beixiao's heroic deeds when he heard Huo Beixiao hiss softly, even letting out a very faint cry, "It hurts..."

Xu Yizhou:......

He looked at Huo Beixiao in disbelief.

This world is magical!

Jiang Qiaoqiao suddenly realized what was going on when she saw Xu Yizhou's look.

Given their relationship, how could they not cherish each other?

Why is she worrying about this?

She rubbed her nose somewhat awkwardly.

Xu Yizhou finally understood Huo Beixiao's meaning and quickly said to Jiang Qiaoqiao, "Sister-in-law, I'm a bit clumsy and might be a little heavy-handed. You girls are more delicate and gentle. Why don't you bandage Huo?"

Jiang Qiaoqiao couldn't help but feel that Xu Yizhou's words had a sour taste in them.

She quickly waved her hand, "No, no, everyone has their own expertise. You bandage Bei Xiao, I'll go wait outside."

After saying that, she quickly ran out.

She felt a pang of regret; how could she be so forgetful?

She should have come out immediately after dropping Huo Beixiao off, giving the two of them more time alone. She's so inconsiderate.

You mustn't forget next time.

Inside the room, Xu Yizhou met Huo Beixiao's sharp gaze, his face full of helplessness. "Boss Huo, you can't blame me for this. I already told your wife what you meant, but she wasn't happy about it..."

"If you ask me, it's because you're too unrestrained, and your sister-in-law is afraid of you. That's why, as soon as she heard about getting intimate with you, she was afraid you'd have ulterior motives, so she quickly... ran away..."

Before Xu Yizhou could finish speaking, his legs went weak under Huo Beixiao's terrifying gaze.

He forced a smile, then gave an awkward laugh, "Hehe..."

Huo Beixiao stood up and walked out. When he saw Jiang Qiaoqiao kicking pebbles outside, his previously domineering face instantly showed a hint of grievance. "Qiaoqiao, can you help me bandage this? Xu Yizhou's hand was too heavy."

"Ah—I..." Jiang Qiaoqiao hadn't reacted for a moment when she met Xu Yizhou's eyes, which looked like those of a wronged little wife.

"Um, I..." She was about to make an excuse when Huo Beixiao said first, "Qiaoqiao, I got injured today because I saved you, so you have to take responsibility for me."

Jiang Qiaoqiao: ...

"All right!"

Jiang Qiaoqiao followed Huo Beixiao back to the clinic.

Cleaning and bandaging the wound was a piece of cake for her.

She carefully picked out the fine sand embedded in Huo Beixiao's flesh, then rinsed it thoroughly with iodine, and finally bandaged it carefully.

He was extremely focused on every step and every movement.

Her gaze never left Huo Beixiao's wound, while Huo Beixiao's gaze remained focused on her, never looking away.

Xu Yizhou:......

He was standing there without eating anything, so why did he suddenly feel full?

Why do I even feel like burping?

After bandaging Huo Beixiao, Jiang Qiaoqiao specially prepared a gauze to hang around his neck.

He instructed, "Don't move this arm for the next couple of days. Otherwise, moving your elbow joint will cause the skin to rupture, making the wound harder to heal. Call me if anything happens. Don't take it lightly or try to be brave, understand?"

Looking at Jiang Qiaoqiao's serious little face, Huo Beixiao couldn't help but smile and nodded, "Okay, I understand."

Jiang Qiaoqiao asked Xu Yizhou to pay the bill.

While paying, she found an opportunity to whisper to Xu Yizhou, "Dr. Xu, don't misunderstand! Bei Xiao and I have a very simple working relationship and a pure revolutionary friendship. Today, he asked me to bandage him, probably just because he was injured while saving me, and he feels unbalanced."

Don't worry, I'll try my best to create more opportunities for you two to spend time alone together in the future.

Xu Yizhou:......

He opened his clear eyes wide and looked at Jiang Qiaoqiao.

What is she saying? What does she mean by these words? Why does he want to be alone with Boss Huo?

At this moment, Huo Beixiao looked at Xu Yizhou, who was whispering to Jiang Qiaoqiao, with a gloomy and sharp gaze.

Xu Yizhou shivered involuntarily.

What on earth are these two doing?

One was pressuring him to find a partner quickly, while the other wanted to create opportunities for him to spend time alone with her man.

Are they trying to kill him?

Jiang Qiaoqiao, wanting to be a good person to the end, decided to send Huo Beixiao directly to the electronics store.

When Huo Beixiao realized where Jiang Qiaoqiao was going, he frowned. "Qiaoqiao, why are you taking me to the electronics store?"

"Didn't Tong Xuejiao say she was waiting for you in her office?" Jiang Qiaoqiao replied matter-of-factly.

"You really want me to go see her so quickly?" Huo Beixiao's voice carried a hint of coldness.

Jiang Qiaoqiao immediately realized that Huo Beixiao was still angry with Tong Xuejiao because of what happened this morning!

Jiang Qiaoqiao thought for a moment and asked, "Was she waiting for you to discuss business matters?"

"What if that's the case?" Huo Beixiao asked.

Jiang Qiaoqiao said seriously, "If so, you should go. Business is all about profit. You can't let personal grudges affect your wallet! Hehe."

Looking at her like this, Huo Beixiao was unsure whether he should continue to be angry. "You certainly know how to do business."

"She probably wanted to talk to me about business, but it's not anything too important. I'll go with you to set up your stall first," Huo Beixiao said.

Since he had already said that, Jiang Qiaoqiao didn't say anything more.

When the two arrived at the market, Zhou Yang was already busy.

Since their stall business improved, there are now many more clothing stalls in the market.

The stalls offered a wide variety of styles, with varying quality and prices, and business at their stalls was much slower than before.

But compared to other stalls, it still has the best business.

Jiang Qiaoqiao immediately got to work with Zhou Yang.

By around 11 o'clock, the market was almost deserted, and Jiang Qiaoqiao packed up her stall and asked Zhou Yang to take the goods back.

"Sister Qiaoqiao, aren't you going to help Brother Yang today?" Zhou Yang couldn't help but ask when he saw that Jiang Qiaoqiao didn't seem to want to go back with him.

Jiang Qiaoqiao smiled and said, "I have some other things to do today, so I won't be going. Please tell my mom and older brother for me."
