I forcefully pinched the hand that was reluctantly wrapped around his shoulder. He glanced at me sideways, a bitter smile emerging, “I’m glad that you’ve finally put me in your heart. Even if it’s hate, I can bear it.”
I clenched my fist, unable to listen to Liu Yu’s words anymore. Why would your love be like this?
Liu Yu lifted the beaded curtain with one hand and carried me to the front hall.
“Your Highness,” Shui Ruohan stood up from one side, his body so thin it seemed like the wind could sweep him away, with faint dark circles highlighting his pale eyes.
Liu Yu glanced at him, suddenly tightening his hand at my knee, and spoke in a neither warm nor cold tone, “Why are you here, not having slept all night?”
“Yes,” Shui Ruohan’s already pale face instantly turned bloodless, as if Liu Yu’s words were sharp blades. I was somewhat stunned – he actually sat in this hall all night?
“Bring someone,” Liu Yu said coldly. A maid walked forward respectfully, and Liu Yu said, “Go and invite the best doctor from Suzhou.”
“Yes,” the maid responded and quickly left.
Only the three of us remained in the hall, the atmosphere eerily strange. Shui Ruohan broke the silence, “Your Highness, I am a doctor myself.”
“You’ve been here all night, go rest,” Liu Yu’s tone expressed concern.
You must be in my heart
“My foot hurts,” I spoke softly, unable to look at Shui Ruohan’s pale face.
“Jiao Long…” Liu Yu held me tightly, clearly displeased with my timing.
“We’ll wait for the doctor. Whether my foot is disabled or not isn’t important,” I said coldly. Liu Yu’s clear eyes concealed a barely contained rage. Knowing my foot injury wasn’t serious, he still placed me on a nearby table and told Shui Ruohan, “Bring medicine.”
Shui Ruohan smiled at me, light as a breeze. I looked at him gratefully, though my hand was gripped painfully. I turned to look at Liu Yu, lowered my eyes, and fell silent.
“You only save your smiles for him?” I glared at him, “You’re the one who said it was fine.”
“But you must have me in your eyes and heart,” Liu Yu gave me a look that said I clearly hadn’t understood his meaning.
