He asked in detail about the whole process, from how they entered the paddock where the assassins had ambushed, to the guards' reactions to the attack, to the injuries to the horses, etc., and Wei Hanzhang answered very cooperatively.

Until Chen Zishu appeared and saved her, Wei Hanzhang's voice unconsciously became softer. The hand on her shoulder gently tightened, and Xiao Junzhan comforted her, "Ranran, don't worry. Chen Zishu saved you. The situation was dangerous at the time. You took refuge in the cave as a last resort. I don't mind."

Wei Hanzhang laughed dryly and looked up at him carefully: "...Really?"

Why is she so unconvinced?

Xiao Junzhan hummed, lowered his head and kissed her forehead, then asked, "Did he bandage the wound on your arm?"

The aura of an adult man was extremely overbearing, completely enveloping her. Wei Hanzhang found herself curled up into a small ball, just in time to be rolled up in his arms...

She stiffened her neck and stepped back awkwardly before answering, "Yes, there was a lot of blood..."

"No need to explain these. We have to make decisions in an emergency. Your safety is more important." Xiao Junzhan interrupted calmly, and moved his hand on her shoulder to behind her ear, slowly stroking her delicate earlobe, and asked again: "What about you? Did you treat his injury?"

"..." Wei Hanzhang choked and whispered, "You don't mind, why are you asking?"

Although she didn't give a direct answer, the answer was obvious.

Xiao Junzhan's expression suddenly changed: "Chen Zishu was injured in the back, did you bandage his wound?"

He didn't mind because it concerned her safety, and nothing was more important than her safety.

It doesn't mean that he wouldn't mind if his beloved girl applied medicine and bandaged other men.

Wei Hanzhang understood what he meant, and felt inexplicably uneasy when he was stared at like that.

"Speak!" His chin was clenched and raised, and Xiao Junzhan leaned his forehead against hers. The two looked at each other, and he gritted his teeth and said, "You took the initiative to apply medicine to him?"

"..." Wei Hanzhang's breathing slowed down. He lowered his eyelids to avoid his gaze, and then explained in a low voice: "He is seriously injured, and there are assassins chasing us... and it is very dangerous in the mountains and forests. If I help him, I am also helping myself."

She was obedient and didn't get annoyed when he questioned her like that.

But the more seriously she explained, the angrier he became.

...If she didn't feel guilty, with her temper, she would never have paid any attention to him.

Why do you feel guilty? The answer that flashed through his mind made Xiao Junzhan a little breathless. He subconsciously let go of her chin, sat up, and calmed down his violent emotional fluctuations.

After a long while, he lowered his eyes and said, "The wound is on the back. How did you bandage it?"

“……” Wei Hanzhang opened his mouth, but under his gaze, he was unable to utter a word.

"Speak!"

Wei Hanzhang shuddered and said quickly, "How else can I bandage it? Just wrap it like that."

Xiao Junzhan's eyes darkened and he asked coldly, "You took off his clothes?"

"Didn't you also say that we should make decisions in an emergency?" Wei Hanzhang simply sat up: "I didn't see him or anything, and I don't have any thoughts about him because of this... Please don't be angry, okay?"

Her expression made Xiao Junzhan even more upset. He tried his best to suppress his anger and asked through gritted teeth, "Since you knew I would be angry, why did you touch him?"

"I didn't touch him!" Wei Hanzhang was already frightened, had lost too much blood, was sleepy and tired, and had to be interrogated repeatedly. He was also annoyed: "It was just the two of us at the time. I couldn't just watch Chen Zishu get injured and die, right? If he died, what would I do alone?"

"Also, I really didn't touch him!" She pointed seriously with her fingers and said, "He took off his clothes by himself. I just applied some gold powder on him. I didn't touch him at all."

"Really?" Xiao Junzhan stared at her with his dark eyes, and suddenly asked, "If it were someone else, would you also take the initiative to apply the medicine?"

Wei Hanzhang was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said, "Of course."

Knowing this man's jealousy very well, she said helplessly, "Please don't mind this, okay? Chen Zishu and I don't have any emotional entanglements, and in my eyes, he is definitely not different from what you think."

"Don't be angry, okay?" She tentatively reached out and held his hand: "I'm tired and sleepy, I really want to rest."

"Answer me one more question and I'll let you rest." He gently held the back of her neck, looked into her eyes, and asked softly, "Chen Zishu saved you twice. Are you happy with him for this?"

"Of course not!" Wei Hanzhang said firmly, as if offended by the question, and said loudly: "Xiao Boqian, how many times do you want me to say it? I will never be interested in Chen Zishu."

This was originally a perfect answer, but Xiao Junzhan seemed to be distracted and stared at her intently: "Do you hate him?"

"Is it not okay for me to hate him?" Wei Hanzhang frowned and asked, "Do you want me to like him?"

“Wei Hanzhang!” His face changed drastically, and the hand holding the back of her neck clenched uncontrollably. He pulled her closer and asked in a stern voice: “Tell me, who should you hate!”

“What are you doing!” His expression was ferocious and terrifying, causing Wei Hanzhang to feel pain and fear. He struggled and said, “Let me go!”

Her struggle made Xiao Junzhan unable to control himself any longer. He grabbed her neck and pressed her down on the couch. He raised his hand and tore off her pajamas, looking straight at her uninjured left arm.

Her smooth and delicate skin was dazzlingly white under the candlelight. He only took one look at it and his eyes became red. He leaned over and pressed down on her like he didn't believe in evil, burying his head in her neck and kissing her fiercely, "You hate me? Shouldn't you hate me the most? It's only been a short time, how come you have changed!"

The tone of voice was no longer as calm as usual, and there was a bone-chilling chill in the violence.

While struggling, he accidentally touched the wound that had just been bandaged. Wei Hanzhang's body trembled slightly and a cry of pain escaped from his mouth.

Xiao Junzhan's heart tightened and he subconsciously stopped all movements. After checking that the wound was not bleeding, he slowly let her go.

Both of them calmed down.

His face was still ashen, with a cold look between his brows. He looked at her quietly for a few breaths, and said in a trembling voice: "Ran Ran, you told me that you would never transfer your feelings to others."

Wei Hanzhang had already reacted and understood the reason for his rage. He stared back at him in a daze, speechless.

How outrageous.

She actually felt disgusted with her savior.

It happened when she was poisoned by the love poison.

So, she really fell in love with someone else?

Wei Hanzhang swallowed, his lips trembling slightly, and tried to explain: "I don't hate him that much."

She looked very cautious, as if she was extremely scared.

Why is she afraid of him?

Xiao Junzhan closed his eyes and actually smiled.

He laughed at himself for being so stupid. During the autumn hunting period, they became closer and closer day by day. She no longer rejected or resisted him, and her eyes no longer revealed disgust uncontrollably.

No matter how intimate the act is, her body won't resist.

Everything is returning to normal.

He was delighted to think that she was breaking free from the control of the love poison and falling in love with him again.

As a result, it turned out that the person I loved had changed...

The little girl whom he held in his hands and whom he could never pamper enough fell in love with someone else.

This fact made Xiao Junzhan's heart tremble.
