Chapter 747: Chapter 747: Promised Him Not to Get Hurt
His grip turned sticky, and Li Shengxiao suddenly changed his expression. His gaze dropped to Rong Yan’s hand, forcefully turning over the palm of her hand.
“Li Shengxiao, I’m fine,” Rong Yan still wanted to hide it.
But her wrist was held so tightly that she couldn’t break free at all.
The distinguished man’s face darkened, a storm brewing in his eyes as he grasped her wrist, “What did you promise me just now?”
Li Shengxiao’s sharp gaze made Rong Yan inexplicably guilty.
“Before you went in, you promised me you wouldn’t get hurt. What’s with your face? And what happened to your palm?” Li Shengxiao wished he could crush her wrist, especially since this little woman seemed not to know pain.
He suddenly regretted letting Jiang Meiqi and her daughter Rong Weiwei off so easily.
Rong Yan’s hand was held so tightly that she couldn’t pull away, nor did she know how to explain the handprint on her face.
It was Cui Jiangjing who couldn’t stand it any longer, commenting, “I beg you guys, can you stop showing affection in front of me? At least be mindful of your surroundings; this is a hospital, not a cinema. If patients come in and see this, they’ll think they’re in the wrong place.”
Showing affection was one thing, but affecting his business was another. That would truly be a torment both physically and emotionally!
He walked over to examine Rong Yan’s bleeding hand and confidently said, “It’s fine; it seems like the wound on Rong Yan’s hand that had been stitched up has torn open. It’s a minor issue. I’ll have a doctor come and re-stitch it for her. You should take her back to the ward first.”
How on earth did it tear open? Li Shengxiao’s eyes darkened inch by inch, his piercing gaze sweeping over her injured left cheek again, with a ferocious look flitting across the depths of his eyes. Just as Cui Jiangjing thought he would pursue the matter to the end, the noble man pursed his thin lips and suddenly bent down to scoop Rong Yan up in his arms.
“Hiss, Li Shengxiao.” Rong Yan was startled, instinctively looping her arms around his neck.
The sensation of the delicate woman in his arms was soft and warm, but between breaths, there was no usual scent of her bath products, only the smell of blood and disinfectant. Li Shengxiao didn’t smell at all! Holding her securely, he said in a husky voice, “I’ll take you back to the ward.”
“Oh.” Rong Yan was aware that she hadn’t come out unscathed as promised, and he was bound to be angry. Feeling guilty, she didn’t ask to walk on her own and obediently let him carry her towards the VIP ward area…
“Little Yan Rong has a torn wound in her palm, not an ankle injury… hey, I said stop showing off your love…” Cui Jiangjing watched the man’s steady retreating back, rubbed his nose in frustration, sighed, and followed them to arrange for medical staff.
Outside the Capital City Police Department.
Journalists who had caught wind of the news blocked the roads around the police department, thronging in layers and nearly bringing traffic to a standstill.
The police had no choice but to collaborate with traffic officers to set up checkpoints, clearing away obstructing vehicles and preventing some journalists from forcing their way in.
Despite such an extensive setup by the police, the journalists were still more agitated than ever, some even pointing their long and short cameras directly at the officers on duty.
“Please, is it true that the popular actress Rong Weiwei was brought in for questioning?”
“Sorry, we cannot answer that.”
“Everyone’s saying that Rong Weiwei is involved in a criminal case. Can you disclose what case it is, and is it related to Jinxiu Hotel? This afternoon, it’s said that the Jinxiu Hotel was blocked for a period of time. Why?”
