When Xiang Zhilan opened her eyes, the room was somewhat dim, but the crystal chandelier on the ceiling looked very familiar.
She stared blankly for a while, then snapped out of her daze and sat up abruptly. She felt someone holding her left hand, her neck stiffened, and she slowly turned her head to look. She saw Shen Muzhi, and her hand was pulled back as if she had been electrocuted!
Startled awake, Shen Muzhi instinctively looked towards Xiang Zhilan. Seeing that she was awake, he reached out to touch her to check if she had a fever.
Before his hand could even touch her, Xiang Zhilan cowered in fear and backed away repeatedly.
Seeing that she was about to fall off the bed, Shen Muzhi quickly reached out and grabbed her wrist, pulling her forcefully.
Xiang Zhilan was pulled forward and crashed solidly into his arms!
Her head hit his chin, making her see stars.
Shen Muzhi was hit so hard that he bit his tongue, and the taste of blood instantly filled his mouth.
His first reaction wasn't pain, but to check Xiang Zhilan's forehead. Fortunately, it was just red and not swollen.
Once Xiang Zhilan recovered from her dizziness, she quickly pulled away from Shen Muzhi's hand, got out of his arms, and ran out barefoot without even putting on her shoes!
Shen Muzhi got out of bed, his wound slightly tugged, but he didn't even frown as he walked out of the room.
“Miss Xiang, you can’t go out now. There’s already an orange rainstorm warning today, and there’s been a landslide ahead. You can’t drive out now!” Butler Chen directed the maid to stop Xiang Zhilan from rushing out.
Xiang Zhilan didn't want to stay a moment longer. She broke free from the arms of the two maids and ran towards the door.
Butler Chen had already had the door locked, and without the key, it couldn't be opened from the inside.
Xiang Zhilan pounded on the vermilion wooden door, shouting, "Let me out! I want to leave!"
“Miss Xiang, going out at this time will cause trouble. Let’s wait until the orange alert is over, then I’ll find someone to take you out, okay?” Butler Chen advised gently.
Shen Muzhi walked downstairs and saw Xiang Zhilan banging on the door haphazardly, even hitting the gold-plated doorknob!
He hurried over, grabbed her wrist, and sure enough, the back of her hand had been cut by the sharp edge of the doorknob.
When Xiang Zhilan saw Shen Muzhi, she was so frightened that she immediately tried to pull her hand back.
"Don't move!" Shen Muzhi hissed, bending down to hug Xiang Zhilan's legs and hoisting her onto his shoulder!
"Let me go! Let me go!" Xiang Zhilan twisted and struggled on his shoulder, hitting Shen Muzhi with her hands and legs.
"Sir!" Butler Chen exclaimed in surprise as he saw Xiang Zhilan's knee strike Shen Muzhi's wound hard!
Shen Muzhi remained silent and carried Xiang Zhilan upstairs.
Butler Chen had no choice but to go find Dr. Wang, who was staying in the guest room, and lead him upstairs.
Shen Muzhi carried Xiang Zhilan into the room, placed her on the sofa, held her wrist, and took out cotton swabs from the first-aid kit on the coffee table.
Xiang Zhilan struggled and moved, but Shen Muzhi held her tightly, saying in a cold voice, "If you hate me, then take good care of yourself, so that you will have the strength and energy to stab me again."
Xiang Zhilan was pulled back to her senses by him, panting heavily, staring at him with bloodshot eyes.
Shen Muzhi quickly bandaged her up, and when he looked up, he saw that her eyes were full of hatred and disgust for him.
He was stung by that gaze, and his heart began to ache dully.
At this moment, Butler Chen pulled Dr. Wang over, saying urgently, "Quick, quick, the master's wound is about to reopen!"
