(46)

Ye Wenyu said to Lin Tingfeng, trembling, "They haven't caught up." She was breathing heavily, wiping the sweat from her forehead. Her back was completely soaked with sweat, and she looked as if she had been pulled out of the water.

If it weren't for General Manager Lin's timely appearance, the consequences would have been unimaginable.

Lin Tingfeng also gradually slowed down the car.

"Mr. Lin, thank you so much for today. If it weren't for you—" Her voice choked with emotion, and tears welled up in her eyes. If he hadn't appeared in time to save her, she would have been raped and killed by those thugs today!

Life is sometimes as fragile as a reed.

She looked up gratefully, her large, crystal-clear eyes meeting his, and noticed that his injured right arm was soaked in blood. In addition, drops of bright red blood still seeped through his clothes, falling down like raindrops onto his thigh and then into the car.

"You're bleeding?!" She stared in shock at the wound, her face as pale as snow. Her nerves, which had just relaxed, tightened again, as if the injury was very serious! Blood soaked his entire arm. It was autumn, and he was wearing a black trench coat over a gray sweater, but the blood seeped through the coat and kept flowing.

It was all because of her—a sense of guilt burned like a raging fire in Ye Wenyu's heart.

Hearing her trembling voice, Lin Tingfeng said gently, "It's alright, I'm glad you're okay. I'll take you back to school now." He was clearly exhausted after the fight and the blood loss.

"No, let's go to the pharmacy. I can stop the bleeding and bandage your wound!" She was afraid he would get hurt, afraid of losing him. Seeing that he remained silent, she looked up at him pleadingly, tears welling in her eyes, and insisted.

Gazing at her, at her tear-streaked face, he realized she was actually shedding tears for him—

Lin Tingfeng finally gave in and said gently to her, "Alright."

The car turned around and, following the directions on her phone's navigation, drove her to the nearest pharmacy. Without him even asking, Ye Wenyu immediately got out of the car, ran to the pharmacy at top speed, bought some hemostatic and bandaging medication, and then quickly got back into the car.

She said to him, "It will hurt a little, but it will be fine soon. I've learned first aid. Quickly take off your outer clothes so I can see the wound." Her tone was like that of a pretty young nurse.

For the first time in front of her, Lin Tingfeng acted like an obedient child. He took off his trench coat, revealing a black cashmere sweater underneath. The blood was not visible against the black background, but when he reached out and touched it, he found that the sleeves of the sweater were heavy and wet, clearly soaked with blood.

Ye Wenyu's hands trembled with fear. With so much blood, could it have damaged a major artery? If so, her life would be in danger; she had to be taken to the hospital immediately.

She reached out and rolled up his sleeve to check his injuries. This was the first time the two had skin-to-skin contact. His skin was a clean bronze color with a burning heat, while her hand was slender, snow-white, long and tender, but her palm was icy cold. One was black and the other white, one was cold and the other hot. With the blood gushing out, both of them trembled slightly.

Time seemed to stand still, and my mind went completely blank.

Ye Wenyu forgot to breathe. It was as if all the air in the carriage had vanished. Her heart was pounding wildly in her chest. It was as if the whole world was extremely quiet, and all other people and things had receded, leaving only the sound of her huge heartbeat.

She tried desperately to calm herself down and not lose her composure. Just now, he had risked his life to save her, and now she had to make sure he was safe and sound. She composed herself and calmly checked his injuries. Fortunately, his aorta was not damaged. Like a little doctor, she gently said to him, "Don't be afraid. His aorta is not damaged. I'll bandage it up in a bit, and the bleeding will stop."

Lin Tingfeng smiled. Of course he knew it wouldn't be a problem. From the moment the knife landed in his hand, or even earlier, he knew it wouldn't damage his aorta. However, seeing her serious and nervous expression, he couldn't help but feel a tender tug at his heartstrings.

All the sacrifices were worthwhile—all the calculations were for this moment—

Ye Wenyu carefully disinfected his wound, applied the blood-clotting powder, and then bandaged it properly. She looked up, her hands still pressing tightly against the area around the wound to prevent the bleeding from flowing too quickly. She smiled at him and said, "All done."

Her eyebrows and eyes were curved like a new moon.

Lin Tingfeng stared at her, feeling as if he were standing in the center of a fire.

Ye Wenyu's face suddenly flushed red. A few minutes later, the bleeding stopped successfully. She reluctantly let go of his hand, sat back in the passenger seat, and said to him, "The bleeding has stopped."

Lin Tingfeng smiled and said to her, "Thank you."

Ye Wenyu's face flushed even more, like rouge. Uh, he was the one who saved her, yet he thanked her.

She mumbled, "I should be the one thanking you."

Lin Tingfeng said gently to her, "Alright, now I'll take you back to school."

Ye Wenyu nodded, and the two fell silent.

A few minutes later, after the terrible ordeal had subsided and reason and calm returned to her, the question in her heart resurfaced: why did he always appear in time whenever she was in trouble? This was abnormal, extremely abnormal! After all, he was the busy Chairman of the Board and General Manager of the Lindi Group.

If it's a coincidence, then there are far too many of these coincidences; it doesn't seem like something that would happen naturally.

Confused and puzzled, Ye Wenyu mustered her courage, turned to the side, and looked curiously at Lin Tingfeng, who was driving, and tentatively asked him, "Mr. Lin, what brings you here today?"
