She didn’t wait for Gong Juechen to speak, An Jing continued, "Let’s pretend this never happened. I won’t tell this girl, so you better leave quickly. It’s for the best, for you and her."
Apart from this, An Jing didn’t know what else to do.
Previously, she thought Gong Juechen was skilled in medicine and could cure this woman, which is why she had Meng Zhuqing summon him. She truly only thought about saving the woman first, but who knew Gong Juechen would shamelessly do such things to her.
Usually, Gong Juechen’s shamelessness was just in words, but she truly did not expect him to actually act on it.
And if the woman found out she had been taken advantage of by Gong Juechen, she might actually seek to end her own life.
It was better to act as if nothing had happened.
But Gong Juechen refused to leave, shamelessly clinging to the bedpost, "I’m not leaving. I want to stay with my wife. Wherever my wife is, I’ll be there. It was not easy for me to finally meet my wife, even if you beat me to death, I won’t leave."
An Jing sneered, "I won’t beat you to death, but I will knock you out!"
Without waiting for Gong Juechen to speak, An Jing turned her head and shouted outside, "Meng Zhuqing, come in quickly and knock this shameless guy out!"
Upon hearing her, Meng Zhuqing immediately rushed in and swung a hand knife down on Gong Juechen’s nape, who was still clinging to the bedpost. Gong Juechen’s eyes rolled back, and he fainted.
Looking at Gong Juechen, knocked out on the ground, Meng Zhuqing asked, "Madam, what should we do now?"
"Throw him out," An Jing said uncompromisingly. "He’s really too outrageous!"
After that, Gong Juechen, knocked unconscious, was tossed outside the door by Meng Zhuqing.
By the time Gong Juechen woke up again, it was just when An Jing and Xiao Changyi were having dinner.
An Jing: "..." The third time! This is the third time! It’s truly unbelievable!
Once Gong Juechen finished scrounging dinner at An Jing’s place, he went to squat by that woman’s room door. Gong Juechen did want to enter the room and stay with the woman, but unfortunately, Meng Zhuqing guarded the door, ready to knock him out again if he dared to take another step forward, without any mercy.
And he, he didn’t want to be knocked out again.
He could only squat pitifully and obediently by that woman’s room door.
While squatting there, Gong Juechen kept talking, "Wife, your husband is right outside your door. Have a good sleep. Don’t be scared, don’t worry, I will protect you."
Meng Zhuqing said irritably, "You should protect yourself first! If you can’t even protect yourself, how do you plan to protect someone else!"
Gong Juechen immediately said happily, "Zhuzhu, so you really care about me! Later, I must tell Lanlan how much you care about me; she will definitely beat you up hard for it."
Looking at Gong Juechen as if to say ’it’s all because you showed me kindness,’ Meng Zhuqing: "..."
The next day, as soon as An Jing stepped out of her courtyard, she saw Gong Juechen squatting at that woman’s room door, which made her ask on impulse, "Don’t tell me you’ve been squatting here all night?"
Gong Juechen said, "How could that be, I didn’t squat all night. I just woke up on the ground here."
Gong Juechen continued, "Last night, I saw Zhuzhu dozing off, so I tried to sneak into the room to see my wife. But who knew Zhuzhu suddenly woke up, caught me, and knocked me out again. Then, I slept here on the ground all night. I just woke up, I haven’t even brushed my teeth yet."
After a moment of silence, An Jing said indignantly, "Hurry up and go brush your teeth!"
