Upon hearing Lin Xihe say, "Just pretend you've never known her," Ji Zhuo froze instantly.
Seeing that he had stopped moving for the time being, Lin Xihe thought that her words would calm Ji Zhuo down, so she continued, "What you said is all right. It's your bad luck to know me. If you leave me, your life will definitely be smooth sailing from now on. Just pretend you've never known me, and please don't get into any conflicts with Gu Qinghuai, okay?"
Ji Zhuo slowly turned around, took a deep breath, and tried hard to suppress the anger that was about to burst out of his heart. He suppressed the urge to strangle Lin Xihe on the spot and said coldly, "Do I look that easy to bully? You betrayed me and you think you can get away with it so easily?"
Lin Xihe quickly explained, "That's not what I meant."
"So what do you mean? You go to him when I'm not in the capital, and you stay with me when I am?" Ji Zhuo's voice was filled with undisguised anger.
“That’s not how it is. I’ve already made it clear to him that I chose you. I know you can’t forgive me, and I didn’t expect you to forgive me. I just hope that you two won’t have any arguments because of me.”
"Oh....."
Upon hearing this, Ji Zhuo was so angry that he laughed instead.
He forcefully pulled away Lin Xihe's arms, which were tightly wrapped around his waist, and flung them to the side.
Although he was furious at the moment, he subconsciously didn't dare to use too much force with his hands.
However, Lin Xihe lost her balance and fell heavily to the ground.
The fall was quite severe; as soon as Lin Xihe landed, a piercing pain shot through her abdomen.
Just as Ji Zhuo opened the door to leave, he heard Lin Xihe's painful murmurs.
"pain....."
"ah......."
Lin Xihe never expected that a simple fall would cause such pain, so much so that she curled up on the ground, unable to get up.
Ji Zhuo had already taken a step, but when he heard the sound, he subconsciously turned around. He thought Lin Xihe was just pretending, but when he looked closely, he saw that her curled-up body was trembling violently, and he panicked.
"Xi'er!"
Ji Zhuo hurriedly turned around and ran to Lin Xihe's side.
"Ah Zhuo...it hurts so much..." Lin Xihe's face turned deathly pale instantly as she weakly cried out.
"Does it hurt anywhere, Xi'er? Where did you fall?" Ji Zhuo was extremely anxious and dared not move Lin Xihe, fearing that she had just fallen and injured some vital part of her body. He could only kneel down beside her and let Lin Xihe lean on him.
Ji Zhuo shouted loudly towards the outside of the courtyard, "Ling Shuang!"
Ling Shuang and Yue Feng, who had been outside, were already extremely anxious upon hearing the heated argument between the two inside.
But without being summoned, they dared not go in rashly.
Upon hearing Ji Zhuo call her name, Ling Shuang immediately rushed into the house.
"Ling Shuang, quickly check on Xi'er, what's wrong?"
Ji Zhuo knew that Ling Shuang had some medical knowledge.
Ling Shuang quickly knelt down and took Lin Xihe's pulse.
Although her medical skills were not particularly outstanding, she could still roughly diagnose the condition after a careful examination.
Ling Shuang examined him for a while, her brows furrowing tightly.
A hint of surprise flashed in her eyes as she looked at Lin Xihe.
Lin Xihe was in great pain at the moment. Seeing the strange look in Ling Shuang's eyes and feeling the intense pain in her lower abdomen, she seemed to understand a little.
"What's wrong with Xi'er?" Ji Zhuo asked anxiously.
"This servant...this servant couldn't diagnose it," Ling Shuang hurriedly knelt on the ground and replied to Ji Zhuo.
"You can't diagnose it?" Ji Zhuo's tone was filled with anxiety and dissatisfaction.
"Yes." Ling Shuang lowered her head, not daring to look Ji Zhuo in the eye.
Seeing the troubled look in Ling Shuang's eyes, Ji Zhuo immediately instructed Yue Feng, who was standing at the door, "Go and fetch a doctor."
Lin Xihe panicked. How could she let Ji Zhuo know about that? Enduring the excruciating pain, she reached out and grabbed Ji Zhuo, weakly saying, "No, don't go to the doctor. It's just... it just hurt a little from the fall. I'm fine."
Ji Zhuo, however, left no room for argument, coldly saying to Yue Feng, "Why aren't you going yet? Go and fetch a few more doctors!"
