Chapter 116: Deliberately Causing Trouble
Translator: Dragon Boat TranslationEditor: Dragon Boat Translation
“Wanwan, there’s no one here…”
Halfway through her sentence, she suddenly paused.
Zhao Zixuan actually came back on his own!
Xu Wanwan frowned slightly and walked quickly toward him. “Where did you run off to?”
“Hmph, I think he’s deliberately torturing us! We’ve been looking for him for half a day but couldn’t find him, and now he’s back on his own.”
Lin Jianan was so angry that she couldn’t help but complain when she saw Zhao Zixuan.
Xu Wanwan was still sensible. She quietly sized up the person in front of her and was a little puzzled.
“You… why are there so many wounds on your face?”
Although his face had been bruised when he saved her before, it wasn’t like this.
Moreover, these wounds were still red. It was obvious that they were new injuries.
Zhao Zixuan had already thought of a countermeasure. He pointed at the small bowl on the bedside table with a sincere expression.
“Wanwan, don’t you like street food? I went to buy it for you just now. Quickly try It.”
Xu Wanwan was stunned. “You just went out to buy me food?”
“En…” Zhao Zixuan moved slightly, deliberately acting as if the wounds on his body were very painful. “I just didn’t expect to accidentally fall on the way back, but I’m fine.”
Xu Wanwan didn’t have any intention of blaming him anymore. She suddenly felt a little guilty.
She lowered her eyes and whispered, “It’s my fault, I didn’t take good care of you.”
“Don’t say that. I’m already very happy that you’re here to take care of me.” Zhao Zixuan smiled gently, but his seemingly calm eyes were secretly filled with smugness.
Hmph, she was indeed a stupid girl from the countryside. She was actually moved by him.
‘When he was beaten up at the hotel just now, he had deliberately pretended to faint.
After leaving the hotel, he hurriedly took a taxi back. In order to deceive Xu Wanwan, he conveniently bought some food at the intersection.
He did not expect that it would even be easier to deceive her than he had imagined. At this rate, he would be able to get her very soon.
Xu Wanwan pursed her lips. “Stay here and don’t move. I’ll go and get a doctor to take a look.”
“Wanwan, don’t go.” Lin Jianan felt sorry for Xu Wanwan, who was sweating profusely from running all over. “It’s just some small wounds. You can treat it yourself.”
“But there are so many wounds on his face. It will definitely hurt.”
“Jianan, please help me look after him again. I’ll be back soon.”
Lin Jianan could not persuade Xu Wanwan, so she could only stay in the ward to take care of him.
After a while, Xu Wanwan came back with a cotton swab and ointment.
She sat in front of Zhao Zixuan and dipped a cotton swab into the ointment. She was about to help Zhao Zixuan apply it.
Zhao Zixuan closed his eyes in satisfaction, and a smile involuntarily tugged at the corner of his lips.
Lin Jianan glared at him fiercely. No matter how she looked at it, she felt that this smile was very strange.
“Wanwan, the doctor asked you to fill in the information form just now. Leave this to me.” Lin Jianan could not stand it anymore. She took the cotton swab from Xu Wanwan’s hand and made a gesture of helping to apply the ointment on Zhao Zixuan.
Xu Wanwan was a little embarrassed. “Jianan, you’ve helped me so many times. Why don’t you go back first? I’ll come back later to do it.”
“That’s right. How can I let Wanwan’s friend be so busy? I can do it myself.” Zhao Zixuan reached out to grab the cotton swab.
What he wanted was for Xu Wanwan to personally serve him, not for this fierce woman to throw her face at him.
The comers of Lin Jianan’s lips curled up slightly as she moved the cotton swab away without batting an eyelid. “Wanwan, it’s fine. You go and do your work first. Just treat me to dinner later.”
“Alright then.” Xu Wanwan glanced at Zhao Zixuan again. “I’ll be back right away.”
After the door of the ward was closed, the smile on Lin Jianan’s lips instantly disappeared as she pressed the cotton swab on Zhao Zixuan’s wound with all her might.
It was not enough to just press it down. She also made it a point to turn the cotton swab and rotated it with all her strength for a few seconds.
“Hiss!”
Zhao Zixuan was in so much pain that he sucked in a breath of cold air. “I’m now a patient. Can you be a little gentler to me?”
Xu Wanwan looked gentle and weak. How did she manage to make such a fierce friend?
“Wanwan is kind-hearted. She can be gentle with you, but I won’t.”
After Lin Jianan said that, she took a cotton swab and pressed it on the corner of Zhao Zixuan’s eyes.
“Stop!” Zhao Zixuan’s expression twisted in pain.
“Hmph, now you know that you’re not feeling well?” Lin Jianan snorted coldly. “You pretended to buy things for Wanwan. You didn’t tell her before you went?”
“You’re already so old. Why didn’t you bring your cellphone with you when you went out? Since you brought your cellphone, you should be able to see the news, right? I think you’re deliberately pretending to be blind, right?”
Zhao Zixuan’s face darkened. “I saved Wanwan’s life. If she finds out that you’re treating me like this, do you think she’ll be angry?”
“Wanwan’s not someone like you!”
As she spoke, she pressed down on Zhao Zixuan’s arm and used a cotton swab to viciously wipe his face.
“You still dare to threaten me? Mind your own business first!”
“Hey… It hurts!”
When Xu Wanwan returned to the ward, she saw a very harmonious scene.
Zhao Zixuan lay quietly on the hospital bed while Lin Jiannan was peeling an apple. It seemed that the two of them were getting along really well.
The comers of her lips curled up slightly. “Jianan, you go back first. Leave this to me.”
“Okay, then I’ll go back first,” Lin Jianan said and gave Zhao Zixuan a warning look. She bit the apple in her hand and left.
Seeing her leave, Zhao Zixuan finally let out a sigh of relief.
Damn it. It was all that woman’s fault. His face was still hurting badly.
“Wanwan, is that person your friend?” Zhao Zixuan asked deliberately.
Xu Wanwan was sorting out the medical records and paused. “Yes, that’s right.”
“That friend of yours doesn’t seem to like me very much,” Zhao Zixuan pretended to say unintentionally. “Is she usually this rude to others?”
Xu Wanwan stopped what she was doing. “She’s my best friend. Besides, she helped you apply the ointment just now. I won’t allow you to talk about her like that.”
“Alright, I won’t say anymore.”
Zhao Zixuan was displeased and forcefully suppressed his anger.
To put it bluntly, today was a bad day.
He originally thought that he would be able to punish Xu Wanwan on the spot. He did not expect that he would be beaten up instead after such a huge incident.
‘When he thought of this, Zhao Zixuan finally thought of settling the score with those men in black!
That night, he took advantage of the fact that Xu Wanwan was sleeping in the corridor outside and went to the bathroom to call the Xu family.
“How are you doing things? Do you not want Xu Mingcheng to come out of the police station?”
On the other end of the phone, Xu Zhongyi said, “Young Master Zhao, we prepared everything according to your request. Don’t tell me that you don’t want to settle the score after receiving it?”
“What did I get?” Zhao Zixuan tried his best to keep his voice low and said impatiently, “Let me ask you, are those men in black your men?”
“What men in black? We only hired a driver to knock Xu Wanwan out and have her sent to the hotel.”
Zhao Zixuan narrowed his eyes… “You really have no idea?”
