Thinking of this, Li Ruo felt a pang of guilt, and the words of refusal stuck in her throat, unable to be uttered.
She gritted her teeth helplessly and said, "Just this once!"
As she spoke, she moved a stool and sat down next to Wen Huaiyan's bed.
While silently staying by the other person's side, they observed whether the wound was bleeding.
The ward was too quiet. As time passed, Li Ruo finally couldn't resist the drowsiness and fell into a deep sleep by the bedside.
Just as her breathing became steady, Wen Huaiyan, who had been "sleeping" for a moment, paused slightly and slowly opened his dark eyes.
His gaze fell on the girl in front of him, and his expression became increasingly complicated.
...
the next day.
When Li Ruo woke up, the sun was already streaming in through the window.
She instinctively wanted to stretch, but found that a blanket had somehow appeared on her.
Thinking that she was too tired last night and couldn't stay awake, she couldn't help but feel a slight tremor in her heart.
Could it be that Wen Huaiyan helped her cover herself with this blanket?
"Now that you're awake, go and call the nurse to change my dressing."
Just then, a deep voice came from above her head, which startled Li Ruo.
She looked up at the man, only to find that his eyes remained cold and unchanging.
Thinking of this, Li Ruo couldn't help but shake her head vigorously, trying to clear her mind.
After all, Wen Huaiyan only restrained and coerced her, so how could he care about her?
You're overthinking it!
After regaining her senses, Li Ruo quickly nodded: "Okay."
As she spoke, she didn't even dare to look at the man in front of her anymore and hurriedly fled.
After all, yesterday's instructions were still vivid in her mind, and she really didn't want to endure this man's "nagging" any longer.
However, just as Li Ruo finished informing the nurse and turned back to the ward, she suddenly found that there was an extra person in the ward.
The moment Li Ruo saw the other person's face clearly, her expression froze.
"Fu Zhiqing?"
When I spoke to Wen Huaiyan on the phone last night, she was in a state of excitement and therefore did not notice anything amiss.
But after hanging up the phone, I realized that Wen Huaiyan's voice sounded a little weak.
Out of concern, she contacted the Wen family's driver.
That's when I found out!
So she rushed over early in the morning without a second thought.
Coincidentally, Li Ruo had just left the ward at that time, so the two did not bump into each other.
Following the driver's directions, Fu Zhiqing saw Wen Huaiyan's pale face as soon as she entered the door.
She was startled and quickly approached, asking, "Huaiyan, why didn't you tell me you were injured?"
In fact, it has only been half a year since I returned to China.
During this period, she barely met Wen Huaiyan.
But Fu Zhiqing deliberately acted as if she was deeply in love, her bright eyes fixed on him, her pretty face full of heartache.
What brings you here?
But Wen Huaiyan wasn't buying it. Upon seeing her, he paused for a moment, then a hint of impatience flashed in his cold eyes.
Fu Zhiqing, however, seemed oblivious to the situation. Instead, she wore an expression of extreme distress and said with a hint of grievance, "Huaiyan, you were already injured last night. Why didn't you tell me when you called? You pretended to be nonchalant and tried to comfort me. You have no idea how worried I was about you."
"My affairs are none of your business."
Wen Huaiyan's expression remained unchanged, but the words that came out of his thin lips were extremely cold and indifferent.
Upon hearing this, Fu Zhiqing paused abruptly, a hint of disbelief flashing in her eyes.
What happened?
He was so gentle with me yesterday, how come his attitude has changed so drastically in just one day?
"Huai inkstone..."
She opened her mouth, wanting to say something more, but Wen Huaiyan didn't give her the chance. Instead, he frowned and asked, "Did the driver tell you I was here?"
His whereabouts have always been kept secret. The Wen family's driver has been with him for so many years; he wouldn't break such a basic rule.
Unless it's Grandpa interfering again!
Thinking of this, Wen Huaiyan's eyes darkened even more imperceptibly.
Fu Zhiqing, oblivious to his change in expression, continued her trembling argument, "Huaiyan, I was just worried about you, that's why I asked Xiao Zhang. Blame me if you want."
As she spoke, she couldn't help but sob, her beautiful face filled with pleading: "I just beg you, if something like this happens again, please don't hide it from me, okay? At least I can come and take care of you."
Her tone was so pitiful, she had practically humbled herself.
This scene was witnessed by Li Ruo upon her return.
If it were someone else, she might believe it to some extent.
But ever since she learned about Fu Zhiqing and Li Zhiqi's affair, she has become even more certain of this woman's superb acting skills.
The last time they met, the other person looked like they wanted to kill her, but in the blink of an eye, they've become a pitiful little white flower.
It's a shame she's not good at acting, with that kind of ability to change her expression so quickly!
Noticing the commotion at the door, Fu Zhiqing was slightly taken aback, and instinctively turned her head to look.
But the moment he saw Li Ruo, his expression changed drastically: "What are you doing here?"
