Lu Jingheng watched as her face turned red from holding back her cough, cursing him for being shameless.
He was afraid she would get too agitated, so he couldn't help but try to calm her down, saying, "It was my shamelessness, it was my lack of decency, please don't get so worked up..."
If Xu Rubao could move his feet right now, he probably would have kicked him directly.
What did he take her for?
Is she a toy, or a prostitute? Can he do whatever he wants to her?
When I'm happy, I tease her; when I'm unhappy, I humiliate her at will.
After a long while, Xu Rubao finally stopped coughing. "Lu Jingheng, what exactly do you want?"
Lu Jingheng realized he had acted too impulsively and probably frightened her.
"I didn't mean anything by it, don't be angry, it's my fault."
His sudden change of attitude and admission of wrongdoing left Xu Rubao wondering what he was really up to.
She gave him a wary look. "You...you should stay away from me."
"No, you're injured now, I need to take care of you. Do you want Grandpa to know you're hurt?"
"No, don't let Grandpa know."
Xu Rubao immediately refused when he heard his grandfather's name.
He's already so old, yet he still has to worry about her all the time; Xu Rubao couldn't bear it.
"Then I'll have to take care of you. Don't get angry, it's bad for your health. You have quite a few scrapes and cuts on your body. Although the wounds aren't deep, you need to take good care of them to prevent scarring."
Xu Rubao pursed her lips, glanced at him again, and said, "If you stay away from me, I'll be fine."
Isn't it him who's always making her angry? How dare he say that?
"Okay, I'll try not to make you angry, but you can't be too far away, at least within my sight."
After Lu Jingheng finished speaking, Xu Rubao listened for the time being, lying on the bed and not making any more noise.
Lu Jingheng felt it was necessary to explain, "There is no relationship between me and Cheng Meilin. She is just a guest of the Lu family, so I naturally have to take care of her. Please don't misunderstand."
A misunderstanding? Did she misunderstand? She's practically clinging to him.
Xu Rubao snorted inwardly. She was already clinging to him, and she had nothing to do with Cheng Yiqian, yet he still said those things to her.
"You don't need to explain to me, I'm nobody to you."
Judging from her tone, Lu Jingheng knew she was still angry; what he had said earlier had been far too much.
"Ah Bao, I'm sorry..."
Xu Rubao was taken aback by his sudden, serious apology and couldn't help but glance at him.
Why are you apologizing?
"I misunderstood you before and said so many hurtful things, please don't take it to heart. Once you're better, how about I beat you up so you can vent your anger?"
Xu Rubao didn't expect him to apologize; it was indeed a misunderstanding.
"Who's going to hit you? So as not to hurt my hand."
"Want me a stick? That way your hand won't hurt."
Hearing his words, Xu Rubao thought he was being childish. "Lu Jingheng, you're crazy."
After saying that, she turned her head away from him, but the corners of her mouth couldn't help but turn up slightly.
However, she dared not let Lu Jingheng see her smiling, so she could only turn to the side and smile secretly.
His apology was a complete surprise to her.
Lu Jingheng leaned closer. "You smiled, does that mean you forgive me?"
Xu Rubao immediately pursed her lips, "Who laughed? Where did you see me laugh?"
"Both eyes saw it..."
