Chapter 324 Standoff



Li Ruo was completely unaware of all this.

She went to Wen Huaiyan's side and silently examined his arm. After finding no obvious bleeding, she frowned in confusion and asked, "Are you sure it's your arm that hurts?"

If she remembered correctly, Wen Huaiyan's arm was not injured; she had been so concerned that she had forgotten about it.

These words instantly shattered the silence and caused the two men to simultaneously avert their confrontational gazes.

Just as Bai Chuan was about to say something to Li Ruo, Wen Huaiyan's eyes lit up and he said first, "My legs are also a little sore, help me back to rest."

"good."

Out of guilt, Li Ruo agreed without thinking and then helped Wen Huaiyan walk step by step towards the ward.

As he turned around, he deliberately gave Shirakawa a meaningful look.

Upon seeing this, Shirakawa clenched his fists tightly in anger, as if his rage was about to erupt at any moment.

But in the blink of an eye, seeing Li Ruo taking such good care of Wen Huaiyan, he frowned slightly and forcefully suppressed his impulse.

After all, today's situation is different from that day. According to Li Ruo, Wen Huaiyan just saved her.

Even if he forced his way in and confronted Wen Huaiyan, Li Ruo probably wouldn't leave with him.

On the contrary, he will become the clown that Wen Huaiyan laughs at.

He absolutely will not allow this to happen!

...

The moment Bai Chuan turned to leave, Li Ruo had just carefully helped Wen Huaiyan onto the hospital bed and thoughtfully covered him with a blanket. She asked with some concern, "Are you feeling better now? Should I go and call the doctor for you?"

Wen Huaiyan was already angry because of Bai Chuan's appearance, and now he was even more enraged by these words. He immediately snorted coldly: "I suffered such serious injuries for you, and all you can do is call a doctor?"

What he wanted to see was this woman's sincerity and expression.

But Li Ruo didn't quite understand what he meant. Upon hearing this, she was stunned for a moment and whispered, "Didn't you say you weren't feeling well?"

If that's the case, then where did she go wrong?

After all, she wasn't a doctor and couldn't relieve his pain.

Upon hearing this, Wen Huaiyan was slightly taken aback, his face darkening further, and he said in an icy tone, "What I mean is, I suffered such serious injuries for you, and in exchange, you have to compensate me."

"compensation?"

Li Ruo frowned in surprise, seemingly unable to believe that these words came from Wen Huaiyan's mouth.

Didn't he just look like he didn't want to see her?

Why did you suddenly change your mind and demand compensation from her in the blink of an eye?

Although Li Ruo had some doubts, she also felt that what Wen Huaiyan said was not without reason.

After all, his injury was indeed caused by himself.

Thinking of this, Li Ruo took a deep breath, nodded, and said, "Okay, how do you want me to compensate you?"

Now that she has just taken back the company from Li Daocheng and bought Lin Dong's shares at a high price, she doesn't have much money left.

However, she didn't want to have anything to do with Wen Huaiyan anymore, so she could fulfill any reasonable request he made!

Unexpectedly, Li Ruo agreed without hesitation. Wen Huaiyan's eyes flickered, and he twitched the corner of his mouth, saying, "You know that I was injured because of you, so during my hospitalization, you not only have to bear all my medical expenses, but also take care of me in the hospital until I am discharged."

"How is that possible?"

Upon hearing this, Li Ruo's expression suddenly changed.

It's her duty to pay for the medical expenses, but she also has her own things to do. How could she possibly stay here to take care of this man forever?

Besides, they have no relationship anymore, so it wouldn't be appropriate for them to stay.

Suppressing the inexplicable panic that arose from this request, Li Ruo sighed and tried to negotiate: "This condition..."

However, Wen Huaiyan didn't give her that chance at all. Before she could finish speaking, the man raised an eyebrow and continued, "Also, during this period, you can't have any unclear entanglements with any man other than me, and you can't meet with them alone. Before the contract ends, you must fulfill your obligations. Even if you don't go back to live there, you must report your whereabouts to me on time. You can't leave without saying goodbye or cut off contact with me like before."

His voice was deep, and one condition after another fell into Li Ruo's ears, leaving her instantly dumbfounded.

Being rescued should have been a good thing, but now, she feels like it would have been better if she had been kidnapped.

"You're clearly taking advantage of my kindness. I can understand paying for medical expenses, but what right do you have to restrict my social freedom?"

As Li Ruo spoke, a hint of mockery crept onto her face.

Although she had known for a long time that this man was like this, she still found it somewhat unbelievable when she actually faced him.

"You said it yourself, I saved you out of kindness."

But meeting her angry gaze, Wen Huaiyan remained calm and slowly raised his head: "Don't you want to admit it?"
