Qiao Anlu immediately noticed him looking at her, her panicked eyes unsure of where to rest. She tugged at the blanket and realized that wasn’t right, so she grabbed the apple and fruit knife from Ji Niandong’s hands, "I’ll peel it myself!"
She said awkwardly, then started peeling with the fruit knife. She couldn’t peel properly, practically cutting chunks of skin and flesh off!
However, she did move quickly. Since Ji Niandong had already peeled most of the apple, she finished in a few strokes, presenting an apple that was miserable to behold!
She looked up and saw Ning Zesheng standing by her bedside, not daring to lift her head completely, she lowered it and was about to bite the apple in her hand. Thinking it over, she reached out and handed it over, "Mr. Ning... Ning, do you want some apple?"
She kept her head down, looking pitifully timid!
Ji Niandong suddenly remembered Ada saying that perhaps only one person in this world could keep Qiao Anlu in check—was it Ning Zesheng?
She couldn’t help but glance at Ning Zesheng; his cold, handsome face never showed even a hint of a smile, those deep-set eyes, although obscured by his gaze, were intimidatingly icy. Even Qiao Anlu seemed frightened!
Perhaps only a perfect woman like Gu Xiyao could manage him!
As she was pondering this, Ning Zesheng unexpectedly reached out and took the apple from Qiao Anlu’s hand, then bit into the portions she had poorly peeled!
Qiao Anlu finally swallowed a gulp, relaxing slightly, but her eyes were still cautiously glued to Ning Zesheng.
Ning Zesheng’s expression remained completely unchanged!
This person truly imparted pressure!
Ji Niandong couldn’t help but take a step back!
Ada, meanwhile, seemed entertained, leaning back in her chair with a calculated smirk, feeling slightly better seeing Qiao Anlu’s fluster, "Mr. Ning, thank you for bringing in a VIP like Doctor Zhu to bandage this troublemaker’s wound!"
She emphasized "bandage the wound," making her implication clear to anyone listening! Nᴇw ɴovel chaptᴇrs are published on 𝕟𝕠𝕧𝕖𝕝~𝕗𝕚𝕣𝕖~𝕟𝕖𝕥
A genius doctor like Doctor Zhu was summoned to bandage such a trivial wound.
Ji Niandong remembered when she had cramps, Doctor Zhu was also ordered around, suddenly feeling sorry for Doctor Zhu!
Ning Zesheng turned to look at her, his tone as flat as ever, "Whereas you’re his classmate!"
"You’re his junior," Ada retorted sarcastically.
Ning Zesheng didn’t reply, directly saying, "I’ll investigate today’s incident thoroughly!" He glanced at Ji Niandong, then at Qiao Anlu, "Those who harm you will face consequences! Since you’re all okay, I’ll take my leave!"
He stuffed one hand in his pocket, eating an apple with the other as he walked out.
That contrast, so endearing!
Qiao Anlu shook her head, she actually found it kinda handsome when Ning Zesheng said, "Those who harm you will face consequences!"
Oh my! She slapped herself! She must be seeing things!
"Sister Lu, what’s wrong?" Ji Niandong asked upon seeing this.
Ada snorted, "Ignore her, she’s acting up again!"
"Hey, hey, Sister Ada, I’m injured, and a hero for my actions, can’t you treat me a bit nicer?"
"If you didn’t cause me trouble all the time, I’d treat you like a queen!"
"Forget it!" Qiao Anlu shrugged, "I don’t want to be that old!"
Ada was left speechless again!
Seeing her so spirited and articulate, she indeed seemed alright! Ji Niandong finally felt much relieved, her mood naturally improved!
