"Ye Xuan, is it true? You’re not lying to comfort me, are you?"
Han Xiaoying blinked a few times, looking at Ye Xuan with concern.
"Of course not, don’t you believe me? I stopped those guys before they could do anything to you," Ye Xuan explained helplessly.
"But I still feel like you’re just comforting me. Otherwise, how could you have arrived just in time?"
Han Xiaoying pouted; Ye Xuan had arrived just when she was about to be violated! Wasn’t that just comforting herself?
"Uh... I really wasn’t comforting you."
Ye Xuan touched his nose, somewhat amused.
This woman’s thinking is really strange. Isn’t it good that she wasn’t violated? Does she need to feel violated to be happy?
"Xiaoying, why would I lie to you about this? If you don’t believe me, you could always test it out," Ye Xuan said after some thought.
"Test it out? How would I do that?" Han Xiaoying asked curiously.
Ye Xuan spoke seriously, "Aren’t you Xiaobo’s girlfriend? Why don’t you two go ahead and have sex? If your hymen is intact, you’ll bleed and know you’re still a virgin. That way, you’ll know I didn’t lie, right?"
"Ah? Ye Xuan, you’re so annoying! How can you... how can you joke about something like that with me?"
Han Xiaoying’s cheeks instantly turned red, and she gave Ye Xuan a reproachful look.
"What’s there to be embarrassed about? As his girlfriend, it’s something you’ll have to face sooner or later; you might as well get some practice in early," Ye Xuan said, shaking his head.
"Oh! You... you’re still talking about it, I haven’t even agreed to be his girlfriend yet."
Han Xiaoying’s cheeks were exceptionally rosy, like they were painted, which made her look very cute.
"Xiaoying, can’t you see how Xiaobo feels about you? Today, to save you, he was willing to get seriously injured. Such a devoted man is hard to find. Think it over," Ye Xuan spoke up.
On hearing this, Han Xiaoying fell silent. She had seen everything Zheng Xiaobo had done for her today, and it would be a lie to say she wasn’t moved!
What woman wouldn’t want a man who cherishes her and protects her from the storm? Zheng Xiaobo might just be a security guard, but he was ready to risk his life to protect her.
And she had promised before—if she got out of this safely, she’d spend the Qixi Festival with Zheng Xiaobo! Does this count as accepting him?
Han Xiaoying thought to herself silently.
Looking at the unconscious Zheng Xiaobo next to her, concern showed in her eyes as she spoke seriously, "Ye Xuan, I know Xiaobo cares about me and I can feel his love, so I’ve decided. Tomorrow, on Qixi Festival, I’ll officially be his girlfriend!"
"Hehe, if Xiaobo hears this news, he’ll definitely be ecstatic."
Ye Xuan smiled slightly, feeling that his efforts hadn’t been in vain; lovebirds were finally getting together.
"Ye Xuan, please don’t tell him right away; I want... to give him a surprise." Han Xiaoying’s cheeks blushed, but her words were firm.
"Haha! Whatever you just said, I didn’t hear it. You can tell him yourself tomorrow!"
Ye Xuan laughed loudly, his mood very uplifted.
Han Xiaoying’s cheeks remained flushed, her gaze falling again on Zheng Xiaobo, she asked, "Ye Xuan, how is Xiaobo’s injury? Is it serious?"
"His injuries aren’t severe, and luckily they’re just superficial wounds, nothing serious!"
Ye Xuan pondered for a moment, then smiled at Han Xiaoying, "Here’s what we’ll do; you get off the car first. I’ll treat Xiaobo, help him expel the toxins from his body, and then there won’t be any serious issues."
Han Xiaoying nodded and happily agreed, thinking to herself that she hadn’t expected Brother Ye to know medical techniques. No wonder Xiaobo was so admiring of him!
After glancing at Zheng Xiaobo, she pushed open the door and stepped out of the car, leaving the space inside for Ye Xuan to treat the injuries.
Ye Xuan also got out of the car, then climbed into the back seat and began the treatment by lightly pressing his fingers on the wound.
It took about ten minutes.
Ye Xuan carefully massaged each of Zheng Xiaobo’s bruises all over his body, expelling the toxins, before he finally stopped.
As Ye Xuan ceased the treatment, Zheng Xiaobo, who was lying on the back seat, also emerged from his daze.
Suddenly opening his eyes, Zheng Xiaobo thought he was still inside the factory. He sprang up from the seat, roaring, "You scumbags! How dare you hurt Xiaoying, I’ll fight you with my life!"
"Cool it, don’t throw your life away! If you die, who will take care of Xiaoying after?"
Ye Xuan said, amused, while pressing down on Zheng Xiaobo’s shoulders to make him sit.
"Eh? Boss! Why are you here?"
Zheng Xiaobo saw Ye Xuan and exclaimed with a surprised look, quickly shouting, "Boss, it’s great that you’re here! Please deal with these bastards, and make sure Xiaoying isn’t defiled. Hurry and save Xiaoying."
Ye Xuan rolled his eyes, both annoyed and amused, "No need to save her now, those bastards have already been taken care of by me, and Xiaoying is all right! Didn’t you see where we are?"
Hearing that, Zheng Xiaobo was stunned for a moment before he looked around and realized he was no longer inside the factory; he was in an SUV.
He slapped his forehead, realizing that the boss had arrived just in time and dealt with the kidnappers, rescuing them!
His eyes suddenly lit up, and he anxiously asked, "Boss, since Xiaoying has been rescued, where is she?"
"Didn’t you see? She’s right outside."
Ye Xuan pointed toward the car door; Han Xiaoying was standing there. She had come over just as Zheng Xiaobo had woken up.
"Xiaobo, I’m alright now, thanks to Brother Ye who rescued us in time!"
Han Xiaoying stood gracefully outside the door, her voice tender as she spoke, looking at Zheng Xiaobo with a special gleam in her eyes.
Seeing her safe, Zheng Xiaobo finally breathed a sigh of relief, his excitement and thrill surging, and he leapt out of the car and quickly approached Han Xiaoying. Without saying a word, he opened his arms and embraced her tightly.
"Xiaoying! I’m so happy you’re safe. If those scoundrels had harmed you, I... I don’t know what I would’ve done!"
Zheng Xiaobo spoke excitedly and incoherently.
"Xiaobo, don’t worry, I’m fine, aren’t I? And I’m also very happy that you’re unharmed!"
Han Xiaoying comforted him, her words gentle.
"I’m sorry, Xiaoying, I was so useless! I failed to protect you." Zheng Xiaobo said, full of self-blame.
Han Xiaoying gave a slight smile, playfully blinked at him, and said, "Don’t blame yourself, you tried your best to protect me!"
"You don’t have to say anything, I understand your feelings!"
Han Xiaoying pressed her index finger against his lips, gazing at Zheng Xiaobo and speaking softly.
At that moment, Ye Xuan walked over, his expression serious, "Actually, the person who should be apologizing is me."
