Chapter 552: This Fiancé Can’t Be Wanted (Part 2)
He raised his hand and placed it on the little girl's shoulder, holding her in his arms with a protective and possessive gesture, then raised his head and swept his cold, dark eyes over everyone.
Everyone felt a chill run down their spines when they saw him, and they all looked away guiltily.
However, although his eyes moved away, his mouth was still not quiet.
The female member who had just flirted with Ruan Qi murmured in dissatisfaction, "Boss, why are you so petty? Even a glance won't cost you a piece of meat."
"That's right. We didn't intend to do anything, we were just admiring her beauty. Tsk, how possessive."
"It's not easy being a boss, actually. It took me 27 years to find a girlfriend, and I'm always being coveted."
"Hey! In my eyes, the boss is just an evil dragon that stole the princess. I, the prince, want to duel with the dragon, but I can't beat him!"
Everyone thought they were speaking quietly, but both Xi Jiu and Ruan Qi could hear it clearly.
Xi Jiu's face became darker and darker, as cold as ice.
Ruan Qi glanced at his expression and couldn't help but burst out laughing.
The little girl is very beautiful when she is not smiling. When she smiles, her eyebrows are curved and her eyes seem to be filled with stars, making her even more beautiful.
Many members of the Eagle Tribe exclaimed in amazement, and some who were itching to do something brave enough even whistled.
Xi Jiu's face darkened a few shades.
He gave a warning look to his subordinates who were trying to join in the fun, then turned around and bent down to help the little girl brush off the dust.
Ruan Qi grabbed his hand and said, "Jiujiu, Simon and Kerry are still hiding at the bottom of the hill. And Sister Mo Lan and the others, they all separated from me."
Simon was injured and bleeding. Mo Lan and He Ma had disappeared again, and it was unknown whether they were alive or dead. Thinking of this, she felt a little anxious.
Xi Jiu rubbed her head comfortingly: "Don't worry, I'll send someone to look for it."
Ruan Qi: "Then I will too..."
"You can't go." Xi Jiu interrupted her, "Baby, you're hurt."
Ruan Qi had been so focused on protecting Simon and Kerry that she'd exposed herself to the hail of bullets. She wasn't an ironclad woman, so naturally, she'd been wounded. But she was incredibly patient, not even crying out in pain. She even managed to grit her teeth and kill most of the X organization.
Everyone thought she was strong and powerful, able to fight against the heavy artillery fire on her own.
But Xi Jiu only cared about whether she was in pain.
He softened his grip and pinched the girl's pale face. His voice was low and gentle, "Be obedient, baby. I'll ask Bo Ye to find Mo Lan and the others. Just stay here and rest, okay?"
Ruan Qi knew that Xi Jiu felt sorry for her, so she hesitated for a second and nodded.
Xi Jiu immediately raised his hand to call Bo Ye and asked him to take people down to find Simon.
Then, he arranged another thirty to fifty people to conduct a carpet search for Mo Lan, He Ma and Xi Xi in the surrounding area.
After arranging all this, Xi Jiu picked up Ruan Qi and walked towards the Hummer closest to them.
Gu Feiyang, who was leaning against the car smoking, raised his head to take a look, then turned around and extinguished the cigarette in his hand.
Xi Jiu opened the passenger door and carried Ruan Qi to the seat. Then he walked to the back of the car, opened the trunk, and took out a medicine box.
Gu Feiyang, who was leaning on the side, glanced at him, then raised his eyelids and glanced at Ruan Qi who was covered in injuries. He stood up, opened the back door of the car, and took out a bottle of mineral water from it.
"Brother Jiu." He handed the mineral water to Xi Jiu.
Xi Jiu thanked him, took the bottle of mineral water and unscrewed it, then pulled Ruan Qi's injured right hand and poured water down on the mud and blood on her palm.
Ruan Qi injured her palm while sliding down the hillside. She held onto Simon and Chris with her left hand while she slid down the hillside with her right hand, searching for support. As she slid down, she scraped a layer of skin off her palm.
Ruan Qi had been so busy running for her life that she hadn't felt the pain. But now that she had relaxed, the pain came back to her belatedly.
The little girl couldn't help but gasp softly.
Xi Jiu paused for a moment while pouring water, then hardened his heart and continued to help her rinse.
After washing away the dirt and blood from his palms, he opened the medicine box and took out a bottle of hydrogen peroxide.
When Ruan Qi saw the white bottle, her hair stood up.
"Jiujiu... I don't need this..."
A layer of skin peeled off the palm of her hand, and then she soaked it in hydrogen peroxide, is she still alive?!
The little girl pulled her hand back desperately, with a stubborn attitude of "I'd rather my hand rot than use hydrogen peroxide."
Xi Jiu was both amused and distressed by her, but he could only harden his heart and pull her hand out from behind.
"Baby, please bear with me for a moment, I'll be gentle, okay?"
Ruan Qi shook her head like a rattle, and her whole body, even her hair, exuded rejection.
Xi Jiu sighed helplessly, stretched out his long arms and held her in his arms, and grabbed her little paws with his big hands.
He turned his head and looked at Gu Feiyang: "Second brother, come and help me."
Gu Feiyang's eyes flickered and he walked over.
Xi Jiu freed his right hand and handed him the hydrogen peroxide and medical cotton balls: "Soak the cotton balls."
Gu Feiyang skillfully opened the hydrogen peroxide, poured it into the disinfection tank, and then dipped the medical cotton ball into it with tweezers.
The medical cotton ball was instantly filled with water.
Xi Jiu took the tweezers, picked up a cotton ball, and carefully touched Ruan Qi's palm.
When the transparent hydrogen peroxide touched the wound, white foam appeared instantly.
At this moment, the piercing pain rushed from the palm of her hand straight to her brain nerves. Ruan Qi was stimulated and shuddered, and reflexively pulled her hand back.
Xi Jiu immediately held her down with force, his big hand firmly gripping her wrist.
Ruan Qi was in so much pain, but couldn't escape, and her eyes suddenly turned red with grievance.
"Jiujiu, it hurts so much..." The little girl who had faced the hail of bullets without changing her expression just now, now became a spoiled girl.
When Xi Jiu saw her red eyes, his heart ached. But for the sake of the little girl, the wound on her hand had to be disinfected, otherwise it would easily become infected.
Xi Jiu hardened his heart, said nothing, gritted his teeth and pressed the cotton ball on Ruan Qi's wound.
Most people couldn't stand the pain of hydrogen peroxide touching a wound, let alone the fact that Ruan Qi's palm had peeled off a layer of skin.
After just a few breaths, she was sweating from the pain.
Xi Jiu knew Ruan Qi was in pain, so to spare her the pain, he simply sped up the disinfection process. The cotton balls in the disinfection tank were gradually reduced, and when Ruan Qi's palms were almost numb from the pain, the disinfection was finally over.
The little girl couldn't hold it back, and tears stimulated by the pain flowed out.
She was crying, her eyes red and she asked tremblingly, "Are you done?"
"We're done." Xi Jiu threw the tweezers back into the disinfection tank, then pulled out two tissues from the center console and wiped the tears from her face distressedly. "Don't cry, baby. Your eyes will swell up if you cry any more."
The little girl couldn't help sobbing again.
Xi Jiu rubbed her head distressedly and whispered softly, "I'll bandage your hand. Bear with it for a while, baby. After I've treated the wound on your hand, I'll check the other wounds."
As he spoke, he glanced at the half-full bottle of hydrogen peroxide left and said to Gu Feiyang, "We probably don't have enough hydrogen peroxide. Go look in other cars and bring a few more bottles."
Ruan Qi: “…”
The sobbing stopped abruptly.
She was silent for two seconds, then burped.
Scared.
