Chapter 229 Vomited a large mouthful of blood
Lu Yuan must have just woken up. His upper body was wrapped in gauze, revealing his strong chest and well-defined abdominal muscles. He was only wearing a thin outer garment. His lips were pale, but he seemed to be in good spirits, which relieved Jiang Zhi.
"Boss, it's all this person's fault for waking you up. Go and get some rest, I'll chase her away."
"Get out." Lu Yuan's voice was cold.
"Did you hear that? Our boss wants you out."
"I said, get out." Lu Yuan looked at his clueless subordinate with weary eyes.
“Ah, me?” He pointed to himself.
Then, to his surprise, he watched as his boss stepped forward, took the woman's hand, and pulled her into the room.
He was kicked in the leg and stumbled out the door. With a bang, the door slammed shut in front of him.
...
Jiang Zhi was pulled into a hard embrace.
She suddenly remembered something and jumped in fright, quickly dodging away, "Your injury!"
Lu Yuan hugged her even tighter instead.
Before Jiang Zhi could say anything more, Lu Yuan's kiss landed impatiently.
His left side was wrapped in gauze, and his left hand was hanging down and unable to exert any force. He could only use his right hand to tightly grip her waist.
Jiang Zhi was afraid of touching his wound, so she didn't dare to move at all, while Lu Yuan pressed down harder and harder, almost breaking her waist.
Jiang Zhi's mouth was completely overwhelmed, and she gripped his thick arm tightly, feeling the throbbing veins on it.
Lu Yuan lowered his head and hunched his back, his hand climbing up her waist and pressing down on her shoulder blades, leaving no gap between them.
Jiang Zhi never expected Lu Yuan to act so recklessly even when he was injured. She seized the opportunity to say, "Don't move around. What if your wound bleeds again?"
Lu Yuan's breathing became heavy, and a beautiful color appeared on his pale and cold face. He said in a hoarse voice, "Alright, then sit down."
So he took a long stride and sat down on the edge of the bed, supporting Jiang Zhi with one hand, and let her straddle him.
“Ah Zhi is right, this is indeed much easier.”
This posture made Jiang Zhi a little shy.
Lu Yuan held her close, his voice unconsciously gentle, "I'm injured, shouldn't you take the initiative?"
Kiss me.
He stared at her intently.
Jiang Zhi's heart skipped a beat. Facing his surging gaze, she cupped his face and offered her lips to him.
Lu Yuan suddenly lost control, and the hand holding her waist gradually tightened.
"what to do?"
Jiang Zhi could naturally sense it.
Half of her body was numb, but she still shook her head firmly, "No, you're so badly injured, how can you do this kind of thing? Wait until you're almost fully recovered."
She came here to check on his injuries, not to offer herself up for him to eat.
Lu Yuan pursed his thin lips, his eyes darkening as if he were staring intently at some prey. "Then help me."
"What?" Jiang Zhi didn't react at first.
Lu Yuan then took her hand and traced it from his bare chest down to his lower abdomen...
Jiang Zhi flinched for a moment.
"help me."
He was concise and to the point.
Faced with Lu Yuan like this, Jiang Zhi couldn't bring herself to say a word of refusal.
Lu Yuan's entire body tensed up. He felt no pain from the injury on his back, only a tingling, itchy sensation that crept up his spine, causing him to let out a low, sexy breath.
Just seeing Lu Yuan like this made Jiang Zhi's body go limp.
Normally, he sits upright, stern and aloof. Perhaps only she could see the Commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard so engrossed in passion in private.
That's so... alluring.
After everything calmed down, Jiang Zhi's hands were so sore that she couldn't lift them.
"Sorry, I got it dirty." He looked down at her slender fingertips.
Jiang Zhi was afraid of him.
I thought he wouldn't be in the mood to do anything since he was injured, but I didn't expect him to be so energetic.
She could only get up and wash her hands in the copper basin on the shelf next to her, changing the subject, "How are the Di people who kidnapped me doing with the interrogation?"
Lu Yuan walked behind her and took her hand with one hand to help her wash.
His fingers were long and slender, his palms broad and calloused, easily enveloping her, moving in and out between her fingers.
"Xie Qi's side didn't yield any results. These Di people are similar to our assassins, believing in dying for their mission. They have undergone rigorous selection and possess extremely strong willpower. Ordinary torture has little effect on them."
His voice was still hoarse. After helping Jiang Zhi wash up, he took a towel from the shelf and carefully dried her hands.
Jiang Zhi didn't show much disappointment upon hearing this.
This kind of thing shouldn't be rushed.
“By the way, I don’t know your taste yet,” Jiang Zhi asked him again. “Since you’re injured, I’d like to cook some light meals and bring them to you later.”
Lu Yuan's brows relaxed. "I'm often out and about and just grab a quick bite. I'm not picky about food. I like anything you make for me."
He paused for a moment and then said, "But that would be too tiring, so I won't."
How could a well-bred young lady who never lifts a finger do such a thing for him?
Jiang Zhi was particularly stubborn, "No, you've saved me so many times, and now you're so badly injured, it's only right that I cook some food for you."
Lu Yuan wrapped one arm around her from behind and rested his chin on the top of her head. "I did all this voluntarily, and I don't ask for anything in return from you."
“But I want to do something for you,” Jiang Zhi smiled and said, “I’ll bring it to you tomorrow, just don’t mind my poor cooking skills.”
“Of course I wouldn’t dare,” Lu Yuan laughed along, “Even if you gave me poison, I would gladly accept it.”
Jiang Zhi glared at him.
Seeing that it was getting late, Lu Yuan straightened her slightly disheveled clothes and called in the men who had been there earlier.
"I'll have Ye Qi escort you back to the General's Mansion. You should rest well." He said as he led her to the door.
Ye Qi, who had been so arrogant just moments before, now wore a wide smile. "I'm sorry, Miss Ji, I was blind to your greatness. Please forgive me."
"It's alright. Ignorance is no excuse, and besides, it's your duty."
After saying goodbye to Lu Yuan, Jiang Zhi followed Ye Qi out of the inn and asked him, "Is your commander's injury alright?"
"It's alright, Miss Ji, there's no need to worry," Ye Qi said vaguely.
Jiang Zhi had a feeling that something was wrong.
Lu Yuan made her leave in such a hurry, which was not like his usual style at all.
It was as if they were afraid she would see something if she lingered too long.
She stopped in her tracks. "Oh right, I forgot something at Lu Yuan's place. I need to go back and get it."
She turned around and headed back the way she came.
Ye Qi was startled and quickly stopped her, saying, "How can I trouble you with such a small matter? Just tell me what it is, and I'll go make a errand. You can wait here for me."
"Get out of the way." Jiang Zhi said coldly.
Ye Qi looked troubled. "Miss Ji, the boss instructed me to take you back safely."
"What exactly happened?"
Is there anything Jiang Zhi doesn't understand now?
Lu Yuan was hiding something from her.
She pushed Ye Qi aside and walked towards the inn.
Ye Qi was caught in a dilemma: whether to stop him or not. He had no choice but to grit his teeth and follow.
When Jiang Zhi pushed open the door to the inn, a strong smell of blood hit her.
Lu Yuan vomited a mouthful of blood, with bloodstains still on his lips, and his knuckles, which were braced against the table, turned bluish-white.
