Chapter 11 You Are Just Worried About Me
The ward was quiet for a moment.
Ji Li slowly raised his head, and his eyes regained their previous calmness.
It’s more like numbness than calmness.
"I'm sorry, Mistress, but I have something to do and have to leave now."
Without waiting for Jiang Wangyue to respond, Ji Li threw off the quilt and got out of bed, but because he had not yet fully recovered his strength, his legs went weak and he was about to fall.
Jiang Wangyue's body reacted faster than his brain. He rushed forward and held him with both hands.
Looking at Ji Li's still pale face, Jiang Wangyue couldn't help but ask, "Why do we have to go now? Can't we ask for leave?"
Ji Li didn't say anything, but Jiang Wangyue felt him pushing her hand away, gently but firmly.
"Wait until I come back and I'll let you punish me."
After leaving these words, Ji Li left without looking back.
Jiang Wangyue stood there, a little dazed.
Several images flashed through her mind quickly, all of which were scenes of Ji Li saying this.
It's like this every time.
Without any explanation, he just came back covered in bruises, and then silently endured the beating from the original owner.
Jiang Wangyue couldn't help but clench his fists. He wanted to drag Ji Li back and scold him, but he wanted to scold his stupid leader who didn't even let the patients go.
But then she lost her temper.
She didn't even know what Ji Li's job was, so how could she scold his leader?
Jiang Wangyue found it funny when she thought about it. The original owner had been married to five beast husbands for a year, but she only knew the work units of Yun Miao and Lan Xue, and knew nothing about the other three.
Oh, that's not right.
Jiang Wangyue thought expressionlessly that Feng Yan should be a businessman because he gave the original owner the most money, which the original owner guessed.
As for Ji Li and Su Hui, I really don’t know. These two guys are more mysterious than the other.
Jiang Wangyue collected his thoughts and turned to walk out.
After all, the patients had left, so why was she still here? To have fun?
The gloomy sky looked like it was about to rain. Jiang Wangyue wrapped his coat tightly and frowned slightly as he looked at the blonde female blocking his door.
Tinar.
I didn't expect her to react so quickly.
Tinar took a step forward and stared at Jiang Wangyue with malicious eyes.
"You reported this nighttime encounter to the sheriff?"
Jiang Wangyue glanced at her calmly and said, "You're overthinking it."
"Then why didn't you go last night?"
"I'm sick, isn't it?"
Tinar sneered, "You're sick and yet you're going out wearing so little?"
"You care about throwing away garbage?" Jiang Wangyue continued to talk nonsense, "I didn't expect that I would see another pile of garbage at my doorstep right after I threw it away."
"you!!"
Tinar was so angry that she took off the whip from her waist and swung it at Jiang Wangyue without saying a word.
Her movements were too fast. Even though Jiang Wangyue reacted and quickly took a few steps back, the whip tail still swept across his exposed calf. A blood mark immediately appeared, and Jiang Wangyue gasped in pain.
"Are you crazy?" Jiang Wangyue shouted. "You attacked me, a female, in public. Even if you are a noble, you will not escape punishment!"
Tinar raised the whip high again, with viciousness flashing in her eyes.
"So what? Jiang Wangyue, don't forget, I'm an A-rank, and you're just a useless C-rank. Even if we bring this to the Female Protection Center, the most I can do is pay you some money!"
“Whoosh—”
The sound of breaking air was heard again, but this time Tinar's whip was tightly grasped by a slender and powerful hand that suddenly stretched out, and did not touch Jiang Wangyue.
Lan Xue hurried back and looked at Tinar with a cold look. She exerted a little force on her hand and pulled her to stagger.
Tinar shouted, "You lowly male! How dare you attack me?!"
Lan Xue's lips curled up into a faint sneer filled with contempt. "Then where do you get the courage to lay hands on my female mistress? Just relying on your reputation as a poor nobleman from Rodriguez?"
Looking at the other person's tense body, Lan Xue let go of her hand without warning.
Tinar was instantly staggered by the rebound force of the whip and fell to the ground in a mess.
"Miss!"
"Mastress!"
Several male orcs who had been standing behind Tinar hurried forward and helped her up.
After Tinar stood up, her face flushed red. She was a noble, but she had lost face in front of lowly commoners!
She pointed at Lan Xue with trembling fingers, and her sharp voice hurt people's eardrums.
"Go! Kill him!"
Before Jiang Wangyue could say "be careful", Lan Xue narrowed her eyes slightly, and the huge mental power directly blew away the male orcs.
Obvious suppression of mental power level.
Tinar looked at Lan Xue walking towards her with horror in her eyes, subconsciously took two steps back, and shouted fiercely: "What are you doing?!"
Lan Xue sneered and stopped. "How dare I do anything to a noble female like you? I just want justice for my mistress. Apologize, or let her take it back. You have to choose one."
"Impossible!" Tinaer refused without hesitation.
"Oh?" Lan Xue smiled playfully, then slowly raised her hand, "Then I can only..."
Before Lan Xue could finish his words, Jiang Wangyue grabbed his wrist and stopped him.
Leaving the frightened Tinar with a single word, "Get out", Jiang Wangyue pulled Lan Xue into his own yard and slammed the door shut.
Lan Xue was pulled so hard that her steps became unsteady. When she walked into the living room and was about to speak, she was interrupted by Jiang Wangyue's cold voice.
"Do you really want to go to court for intentionally harming a Class A female?"
Just like the male orcs brought by Tinar did not take action before, how the females confront each other is their own business. At most, they will be punished afterwards for failing to protect their female masters.
But once Lan Xue attacks Tinar, no matter what his reason is, he will be sued by the Female Protection Center and may be exiled at the very least or executed at the worst.
Jiang Wangyue looked at Lan Xue with complicated eyes.
She didn't believe that the meticulous Lan Xue would disregard her own safety in order to seek justice for the original owner.
Lan Xue looked a little stunned after hearing Jiang Wangyue's words, but then he smiled.
He knelt in front of Jiang Wangyue, gently put his arms around her waist, and looked up at her.
"Madam, are you worried about me?"
Jiang Wangyue's forehead was throbbing, and he couldn't help but raise his hand to pinch Lan Xue's face, gritting his teeth and saying, "Did you hear what I was asking you?"
Lan Xue's skin is very white, and Jiang Wangyue didn't loosen his grip because he was angry, and the place where he pinched turned red instantly.
Lan Xue didn't care about the pain on her face at all, and even moved forward.
"You're just worried about me."
Jiang Wangyue lowered her head and looked into his deep blue eyes that were filled with smiles and tenderness, and suddenly felt deflated.
