Chapter 708: Chapter 708 It’s Not a Coincidence_1
Xiao Lang released her hand, pursed his lips and said, “Come with me, I’ll help you unravel everything.”
After saying that, he opened the door and got out of the car, waiting for her outside.
Jiang Yufei hesitated for a moment, then also pushed open the car door, deciding to trust him this time.
Xiao Lang was right, running away is not the solution to the problem.
She may face many problems in life, and even if she runs away now, she will have to face them one day.
Following Xiao Lang into the villa, a maid came forward, bowing reverently, “Young master, you’re back.”
“This is Miss Yufei, take her to a room to rest.”
“Yes.” The maid extended a hand with a smile, “Miss Jiang, please come with me.”
Xiao Lang also smiled, “Go ahead, I think you need to wash your face, or take a bath.”
“…Thank you”, Jiang Yufei lowered her head in embarrassment.
She did look very disheveled, covered in dust.
Her eyes were red and swollen from crying, and her face felt dirty…
The maid took Jiang Yufei to a guest room, thoughtfully asked her clothing size, and quickly had someone purchase new clothes for her from a nearby supermarket.
“Thank you.” Jiang Yufei took the stack of clothes and said gratefully.
“Don’t mention it, let me know if you need anything else.”
“Okay, I got it.” Jiang Yufei nodded with a smile.
The maid gave a small smile and left respectfully.
After taking a shower in the bathroom, Jiang Yufei changed into clean clothes, dried her hair until it was half-dry, then sat on the bed and rolled up her pant leg.
She still had the medicine that Ruan Tianling bought for her in her backpack.
She reached for the backpack intending to take out the medicine, when she heard a knock at the door.
“Come in.” She called out aloud.
Xiao Lang entered the room, holding a bottle of Yunnan Baiyao.
He approached her, offering a smile, “Time to apply the medicine after taking a bath.”
Jiang Yufei withdrew her hand from the backpack, “Thank you.”
“Yufei, stop thanking me all the time, it feels strange.” Xiao Lang sat down next to her, reaching out for her ankle.
Jiang Yufei pulled away like a startled snake, Xiao Lang’s hand froze in the air, his eyes dimmed imperceptibly.
She was still so guarded and unfamiliar with him…
“I can do it myself, thank you.” Jiang Yufei attempted to ease the tension with a smile.
Xiao Lang looked up and offered a warm smile, “I told you, you don’t need to thank me.”
“Okay, I won’t say it anymore.” Jiang Yufei smiled and took the Yunnan Baiyao from his hand, unscrewed the cap and sprayed some on her ankle.
The smell of the medicine floated in the air, seemingly dispersing the heavy atmosphere between them.
Jiang Yufei randomly initiated conversation with him, “Thank you so much for today… but it’s quite a coincidence, how did you guys just happened to be there?”
Xiao Lang laughed, “It’s no coincidence.”
“Not a coincidence?” Jiang Yufei looked up in surprise.
“Yes, I had Di Sheng stay at the hotel last night because I was worried something might happen to you. He followed you and called me when he saw you being robbed, then went after you.”
Xiao Lang paused before continuing, “But you guys were too fast, and reckless in crossing the road, he couldn’t catch up… Yufei, you shouldn’t have followed the robber to a secluded place, what if he had hurt you?!”
The last sentence was said with seriousness by Xiao Lang, a tinge of reproach and fear in his tone.
Jiang Yufei knew he was worried about her and smiled, “But I’m fine, right?”
