After Nangong Yi took away the pear juice, Su Xiaoxiao did not go to the room to wait for him as he had asked.
After returning to her bedroom looking tired, she deliberately dragged a sofa next to her to block the doorway after locking the door to prevent Nangong Yi from suddenly coming in.
Su Xiaoxiao lay on the bed with a pale face, her mind replaying the scenes of her living with her grandfather.
But when she thought of what she had seen at the hospital during the day, she unconsciously curled up on the bed, hugging her arms tightly to her chest, her eyes filled with pain.
This way.
When Nangong Yi returned to the bedroom and did not see Su Xiaoxiao, his expression immediately turned cold and stern.
"Damn woman."
He had just been thinking that Su Xiaoxiao's unusual behavior might mean she would simply 'run away'.
However, he did not expect that she not only locked the door from the inside, but also blocked it from the inside.
Nangong Yi did not force his way in; he simply called her before returning to his room.
"Su Xiaoxiao, open the door for me right now."
Nangong Yi's voice was cold, like icicles in the dead of winter, exuding a chilling aura.
Even though Su Xiaoxiao wasn't in his presence, she sensed his anger, but she still mustered her courage and said, "Nangong Yi, I'm really tired right now. Let's talk about it tomorrow."
Nangong Yi sensed something was off about her voice, and when Su Xiaoxiao hung up the phone after speaking, he became even more certain of his suspicions.
The night grew deeper and deeper.
Nangong Yi tossed and turned in bed, unable to fall asleep.
After thinking for a long time, he left the bedroom again and quickly jumped onto Su Xiaoxiao's balcony using the balcony of the guest room next door.
When he saw that the light was still on in Su Xiaoxiao's room, he immediately went forward and forcibly opened the door to the French windows. When he entered the bedroom and saw the person curled up on the bed, his brows furrowed.
"Su Xiaoxiao, what tricks are you playing now?"
Nangong Yi glanced at the door blocked by the sofa, then immediately went to Su Xiaoxiao's bedside. Listening to her moans of pain on the bed, the coldness in his eyes suddenly turned even colder.
He coldly pulled her out of bed, but the unconscious Su Xiaoxiao felt very heavy and uncomfortable. Even though she could hear sounds, she couldn't open her closed eyes.
"It hurts...Grandpa...it hurts..."
Su Xiaoxiao kept murmuring softly, and a layer of sweat seeped from her forehead.
Nangong Yi immediately turned his gaze to the back of her injured right hand. When he noticed that the white gauze was stained with a trace of blood, he panicked for no reason.
What he didn't notice was the fleeting pity that flashed across his eyes at that moment.
"Su Xiaoxiao, stop pretending to be dead here."
After Nangong Yi let go, he realized that she was shivering from the cold.
He immediately moved the sofa aside and, without disturbing his grandfather, quickly summoned Qi Yanyang, the attending physician of the Nangong family, to Su Xiaoxiao's room.
"What's going on?" Nangong Yi asked, standing by the bed with an icy expression.
"Young Master, the young mistress has a low-grade fever, but her condition is not serious, so you don't need to worry."
Qi Yanyang quickly unwrapped the gauze from Su Xiaoxiao's hand, and when he saw the injury on the back of her hand, he couldn't help but gasp.
Nangong Yi had been watching the doctor treat her wounds at the ward entrance, but he hadn't expected her burns to be so severe. Thinking of her silent and forbearing appearance at the time, the coldness in his eyes intensified.
