Jiang Shangheng frowned: “Dislocated. Bear with it.”
“Ah?” Gu Qingtong looked up in surprise. The next moment, a pain shot through her ankle, and her light exclamation of surprise turned into a cry. But she immediately bit the back of her hand to stifle her scream.
Here’s the edited version of the article with irrelevant content removed:
Jiang Shangheng glanced at her stoic and enduring appearance and smiled faintly. He massaged her ankle, suddenly remembering that if a woman’s foot was seen by a man, she was supposed to offer herself in marriage. He glanced at the white jade bracelet on her wrist: However, she was a trial bride and probably wouldn’t have such thoughts.
Gu Qingtong spoke up: “Since you’ve seen my foot, do you have to marry me?”
Jiang Shangheng was stunned: Was she… trying to pin him down?
Gu Qingtong saw his incredulous expression and laughed: “I’m just teasing you!”
Jiang Shangheng didn’t feel relieved. Instead, he felt somewhat uncomfortable and stared at her large eyes. Her gaze was frank, without a hint of calculation or shame. He slowly put down her ankle: “Sit and rest. Don’t move around.”
“Okay.”
“Brother Heng, Brother Heng!”
Hearing Luan’er’s call from outside, he stood up at the shallow shore: “I’m here, and…” he turned back: “What’s your name?”
“Gu Qingtong.”
“Are you Han Yue’an’s adopted daughter?”
“Yes.” Gu Qingtong thought Han Yue’an’s reputation was quite significant since he knew about her. She was secretly delighted.
Jiang Shangheng’s face darkened as he turned away: “The young lady who just fell into the water is here too.”

Hearing his words, he immediately ordered people to approach the shore: “Tong Tong!”
“Father, I’m here!” Gu Qingtong wanted to stand up, but her ankle was weak, so she could only look at Jiang Shangheng helplessly. However, Jiang Xiuluan’s pleasure boat had already arrived. He looked back at her but didn’t board the boat, nor did he come to help her.
“Tong’er!” Han Yue’an’s large ship was now close, with Ji Chen and Lüguo disembarking first.
“Lüguo, my foot is weak. Come help me quickly.”
“Yes.” Lüguo hurried over.
