A complete stranger, a frail girl, risked her life to protect a bag. What a kind-hearted child she must be.
The warmth from her palms and the backs of her hands overwhelmed Bai Xiaoruo; she hadn't felt such warmth since her mother passed away.
"Grandma, please don't say that. This is what I should do."
“Grandma will definitely thank you properly for being such a kind child. Let’s take you to the hospital to get your wound bandaged first, in case it gets infected.”
"No, no, it's okay, I'm fine. There's no need to go to the hospital, I'll just put some band-aids on it when I get back."
“That won’t do. Besides, your clothes are dirty. You can’t just go home like this. How about this: since you don’t want to go to the hospital, let’s go to Grandma’s house. I’ll ask the family doctor to come and bandage your wound, and I’ll find you some clean clothes.”

Unable to resist Lin Suqing's repeated requests, Bai Xiaoruo had no choice but to agree, "Alright then, I'll go."
"That's more like it, what a good boy." Lin Suqing glanced at her lover, who had remained silent, and asked, "Zhengsen, you don't have any objections, do you?"
“Of course, this little girl is so brave, we should really thank her properly.” Xuan Zhengsen nodded.
Although he was very grateful to Bai Xiaoruo, the girl who had helped him and risked her life to protect his wife's handbag, he still couldn't let his guard down and needed to observe her more closely.
