Chapter 55: Chapter 55 Eating
“You’re bleeding, and still you say it’s nothing?” Ji Luochen frowned, his voice carrying an obvious displeasure.
“It’s just a cut. It bled because I strained the wound when picking up the folder just now,” Mu Lingyun said, seemingly unconcerned.
Ji Luochen did not respond, instead making a call to have the butler bring up the medicine kit. Then he rolled up Mu Lingyun’s sleeve and removed the gauze that had been bandaging the wound.
By the time the butler had brought up the kit, he had already removed everything that had been bandaging Mu Lingyun’s wound.
The wound appeared to be rather deep and indeed was bleeding due to being strained.
He first disinfected it with iodophor, then applied some yunnan baiyao to stop the bleeding, before finally taking a clean piece of gauze and rebandaging it for her.
Watching the young man beside her carefully and attentively bandaging her wound, the corners of Mu Lingyun’s mouth lifted slightly.
Suddenly, she felt that Ji Luochen probably didn’t dislike her, did he? Otherwise, why would he bandage her wound?
After readdressing Mu Lingyun’s wound, Ji Luochen finally asked, “How did you get this wound?”
“I just accidentally cut myself,” Mu Lingyun said, intentionally downplaying the situation.
Ji Luochen frowned; this wound clearly wasn’t something one would accidentally inflict on oneself.
Just as Ji Luochen was contemplating this, the nanny arrived, asking if they were ready to eat since the meal was ready.
“I’m hungry,” Mu Lingyun said, not wanting Ji Luochen to keep probing, and looked at him with a pitiable expression.
Hearing this, Ji Luochen told the nanny, “Let’s eat.”
Since she didn’t want to talk about it, he would just have to investigate on his own.
If he ever found out who had hurt her, he certainly wouldn’t let that person off easily.
Therefore, he sent Xiao Kai a message to help him investigate what had exactly happened to Mu Lingyun today, before going downstairs with her to eat.
–
Mu Lingyun had initially thought that the two elders would be present for the meal.
But in the end, it was only she and Ji Luochen eating together.
“Where are the two old men?” Ji Luochen asked the nanny.
“The two gentlemen said they had appointments and left just a short while ago,” the nanny answered.
Ji Luochen didn’t inquire further but simply nodded.
After sitting down, Mu Lingyun picked up her chopsticks, only to find that using them would strain her wound. She frowned, finding the situation rather difficult.
Seeing this, Ji Luochen asked the nanny to provide Mu Lingyun with a spoon and fork.
Once she had the spoon, Mu Lingyun was satisfied and attempted to scoop up a shrimp. However, before the spoon could even touch the shrimp, Ji Luochen blocked it with his chopsticks.
Immediately afterward, Ji Luochen told the nanny, “Take the seafood away.”
Mu Lingyun:…
Watching the various seafood dishes being taken away by the nanny, Mu Lingyun was somewhat speechless.
“Is that necessary? It’s just seafood, why so stingy?” Mu Lingyun pouted.
Ji Luochen’s lips curled up slightly, “You have an open wound on your hand. Isn’t it common knowledge that you shouldn’t eat seafood in such cases?”
Mu Lingyun:…
She indeed had forgotten; the doctor in the company infirmary had indeed said that, if possible, she should avoid food like seafood for the time being.
But she had just now forgotten about that.
“Here, eat this,” Ji Luochen said, offering Mu Lingyun a piece of hand-torn chicken.
Mu Lingyun did not refuse and used her spoon to eat the hand-torn chicken.
At the dinner table, due to Mu Lingyun’s inconvenience with her hand, Ji Luochen essentially helped her with picking up food.
And whether deliberate or unintentional, Ji Luochen always picked out her favorites, making this meal a very pleasant experience for her.
