“No need. This matter is partially my fault. Let him rest well, and notify me immediately once he recovers.” Yuan Ling spoke with guilt, glanced once more at the bed, and then bid farewell and left.
Qu Xiaojue looked at the person on the bed. The sunlight was exceptionally good today, and his bed was next to the window. When the sunlight came in, it cast a soft, gentle light on his cheek, yet it was not warm.
She suddenly felt powerless and smiled wryly. Her first thought was not to investigate why this happened, but simply to sit quietly and wait for him to wake up.
Xu Wanzhi had not intentionally jumped into the water. The two packages of medicine in his room were untouched, and he did not want to create unnecessary trouble for Yuan Ling. Originally sitting quietly in the lotus pavilion, he noticed small fish jumping among the flower leaves. He walked into the water corridor to get a closer look. Who would have thought that Yuan Ling, whom he met a few days ago, would slowly approach him?
After an insignificant conversation, he became somewhat impatient. Hearing Yuan Ling ask why he had come and not stayed, he felt bored and frustrated. What did all this have to do with Xu Wanzhi?
The problem was that the man here was truly fragile and helpless.
When he turned to leave, Yuan Ling felt particularly aggrieved, thinking about losing face in front of a merchant’s husband. In her excitement, she almost slipped into the water. Xu Wanzhi, who had not yet seen this happen, instinctively reached out to pull her, ultimately falling in himself.
He had not intended to drown and, upon reflection, was too lazy to struggle. Perhaps this was an opportunity?
Of course, he was quickly pulled out by the tall woman from the Qu family and now faced the awkward situation of having to wake up.
He ground his teeth and opened his eyes, indeed seeing Qu Xiaojue’s cold face, instantly wishing he was in an unreal dream.
His jaw suddenly tightened as he opened his eyes, meeting a pair of cold eyes. He heard a cold warning from above: “Husband, since you’re awake, get up and drink the medicine before resting.”
Was she angry with him?
