If they really couldn’t even secure this house—
The entire interior fell into a dead silence that seemed to have no end.
In the afternoon, Tang Sili followed the treatment procedure to change the dressing on Gu Nuan’s head wound.
While enduring the sting of the disinfectant, Gu Nuan asked, "Professor Tang, aren’t you going back to the hospital?"
"Without Mr. Xiao’s permission, I can’t leave," Tang Sili naturally replied. Then, as if he knew what she was actually asking, he added, "Dr. Ou has been left at the hospital. Since his mother came to visit that day, I was afraid that his mother would accuse me of kidnapping him and hiding him, which would cause trouble for Mr. Xiao, so I told him to stay put in the hospital."
Ou Chunhua came looking for him?
Gu Nuan’s eyes narrowed slightly.
Tang Sili, catching a glimpse of her expression from the corner of his eye, quietly removed his disinfection gloves, concluding the treatment. ɴᴇᴡ ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀʀᴇ ᴘᴜʙʟɪsʜᴇᴅ ᴏɴ 𝕟𝕠𝕧𝕖𝕝·𝕗𝕚𝕣𝕖·𝕟𝕖𝕥
Suddenly, the door opened. Gu Nuan had just turned around when, sure enough, she saw Yebai stride in from outside and headed straight towards her.
Seizing her hand, Yebai asked unhappily, "Why didn’t you call me when you were changing your dressing?"
Why should she call him?
Yesterday when she changed her dressing, he insisted on accompanying her. Fine. She hadn’t even felt like crying out in pain, and there he was beside her, yelping away. His yelps were so lifelike and even more irritating than a dog barking.
Having just voiced his grievances, the little guy immediately received a cold glare from his wife, so he tucked his head back in and dared not protest any longer.
Turning his head, Xiao Yebai asked Tang Sili, "How is she?"
Tang Sili, who had been standing to the side, was used to the sight but still amazed at how quickly his boss could change his demeanor, especially the stark difference when facing his wife compared to others.
"Madame Xiao’s wound will take some time to heal. As for removing the stitches, probably tomorrow," Tang Sili concealed his thoughts and answered properly.
"What about the other concerns? Didn’t you suspect she had a concussion?" Yebai continued.
"For now, it doesn’t affect Madame Xiao’s daily activities. Concussions can vary greatly in severity, but it doesn’t seem very serious at present," Tang Sili continued to answer his boss’s questions respectfully.
It wouldn’t be appropriate to ask more in front of his wife, and if he pulled Tang Sili aside to ask, his wife might suspect something.
Considering this, Xiao Yebai waved his hand, indicating Tang Sili could leave. He wanted to spend some tender moments with his wife.
However, his wife "snubbed" him, saying, "I want to step out for a bit."
"Where are you going?"
He stared intensely at her face, making her instantly think of a stick of gum.
"If you’re worried I might have another accident outside, you can have someone accompany me," Gu Nuan replied.
"Can’t I accompany you?" His eyes seemed like they were going to devour her. What, sneaking out behind his back?
The little guy lacked a sense of security.
Gu Nuan could only instruct him like a kindergarten teacher, saying, "Isn’t your birthday coming up soon? I want to go buy you a gift. How could I let you come with me?"
Xiao Yebai paused for a moment, "You know my birthday?"
"When we registered for marriage—" Gu Nuan felt embarrassed as she spoke. What was the situation back then? She actually paid attention to his birth date.
Xiao Yebai quickly grasped the implication in her words. Then, his cunning eyes gleaming like those of a cat, Yebai happily squinted them into slits and said, "So you had me in your heart back then. How is it? Was it because I’m very handsome and charming, that you fell for me at first sight?"
Gu Nuan lightly coughed and said, "I was afraid of being deceived, so I habitually memorized your ID number. It’d make it easier to report to the police if needed."
