Returning home, Zhuang Shuqing found it inconvenient to do anything with her injured hand. She gave up the idea of cooking and went downstairs to buy a few instant noodles.
Used to living alone, she didn’t find independence to be difficult, but with one hand less, she truly felt it was extremely challenging, especially taking a bath.
Standing in the bathroom, Zhuang Shuqing struggled with her clothes, regretting her choice of clothing that day. What was she thinking wearing a pullover?
Sounds of knocking came from outside, she rubbed her hair irritably, straightened her clothes, opened the bathroom door, and walked out, asking simultaneously, "Who is it so late..."
Opening the door, Zhuang Shuqing was stunned to see the figure before her, stammering, "You...why are... you here?"
Under the dim staircase light, Lu Jinyang’s sharp features were clearly outlined, his dark eyes unwaveringly fixed on her face for a long moment before shifting to her bandaged hand, signaling a brewing storm.
"What happened?" His tone was cold, causing Zhuang Shuqing to shrink back.
"What happened?" He asked again. Nᴇw novel chapters are publɪshed on novel-fire.ɴet
She was fine when he dropped her off; just an afternoon apart and she injured her arm.
Seeing his stern face, Zhuang Shuqing quickly stepped aside to make way, "I got hit by someone at the hospital."
He came in, closed the door, pulled her to the sofa, and began to unravel her bandage. Zhuang Shuqing realized what he was doing too late.
"Ouch~ Don’t touch me, it hurts terribly."
His grip was strong, squeezing her wrist, and she gasped in pain.
Lu Jinyang’s expression grew colder, "How did this happen?"
"A woman ran into me," she replied irritably, glancing at him. What was the point of asking, did he intend to find that person and make her hit back?
Unexpectedly, Lu Jinyang was not just asking casually; he pulled out his phone, dialed a number, and said into the phone, "Send me today’s video from the children’s hospital..."
"Lu Jinyang, you’re crazy!"
Zhuang Shuqing immediately snatched the phone and ended the call, angrily saying, "It’s just a minor injury, what are you trying to do with such a big fuss?" If people knew about her relationship with Lu Jinyang it could bring endless trouble to her.
Lu Jinyang sat on the sofa, silently glaring at her, she could feel the coldness emanating from him, yet his eyes looked incredibly fetching.
Her lips pursed slightly, and after a while, she explained, "There were so many people in the hospital, it’s normal to be accidentally bumped, besides, the person might have been in a hurry."
For some reason, Zhuang Shuqing didn’t want to mention Tan Biyang in front of Lu Jinyang at all, especially now that he had leverage over her, she didn’t want any attention on this matter.
Indeed, after hearing her words, the hostility in Lu Jinyang’s brows dissipated slightly, "Just a bump and the hand turned ? Are you sure it wasn’t a hit?"
Zhuang Shuqing paused, "I fell to the ground."
"Fell to the ground?"
"Yes, that person walked too fast and didn’t notice me."
"As my woman, being this frail won’t do."
"Is your woman not human?" she felt frustrated. It wasn’t like she fell deliberately. It was really because Tan Biyang moved too quickly, and she wasn’t prepared.
Seeing Lu Jinyang looking at her with a half-smile, she belatedly realized what she had just said, feeling extremely embarrassed.
"Now you admit that you are my woman?"
