Ye Wangchuan closed his eyes slightly, his features were sharp, and no pain could be seen from his expression.
But when Qiao Nian moved her eyes downward, she saw that the veins on the back of his hands grasping the bed sheet were bulging, and he did not look as calm as he appeared on his face.
Qiao Nian had experienced this pain before, but she couldn't bear to turn away her eyes. After the effect of the medicine wore off, she turned back and wrapped the wound on his shoulder with gauze layer by layer. She whispered, "I will change the medicine every three days, and after a month, change it to once a week until your wound scabs over."
"Yeah." Ye Wangchuan opened his eyes. The sunlight from outside shone in and fell on his tall nose bridge, casting a layer of gold on his eyelashes.
He pulled up his clothes and buttoned them while talking to Qiao Nian, his voice hoarse: "Are you going to let Nie Qingru go?"
"She can't die in an illegal area."
Qiao Nian did not mention the transaction between the Hidden World Family and the Capital City. He bent down to take away the medicine box, sat down on a chair beside the bed, picked up the fruit bought by Qin Si and others on the table and began to peel it.
"I went to see her, and she didn't know that the Hidden World Family was about to impeach her. When she returns, she will have a lot to do."
Qiao Nian handed over the peeled orange. There was a glimmer in her dark eyes, and her tone was as careless as ever: "Sometimes it is more painful to break a person's willpower than to kill her. It would be too easy for her to die like this."
After Ye Wangchuan heard what she said, he reached out his hand to take the orange in mid-air. He took one look at the coldness that the girl couldn't hide and knew that the scene when she met Nie Qingru would not be good.
He no longer mentioned Nie Qingru. He lowered his head and patiently tore off the silk screen on the surface of the orange, and said softly: "Then Zhai Xicheng..."
"I'm still asking someone to look for it." Qiao Nian frowned in annoyance, fumbled for the lighter in his pocket, and tried to take it out.
Before that, she noticed the man on the bed again, and silently took out a candy, pinched it between her fingers but didn't eat it. She relaxed her brows and pretended to be relaxed and said, "It's impossible for a living person to disappear for no reason. He must be nearby."
In fact, Ye Wangchuan thought of a possibility, but he did not say it out loud because he saw the anxiety in the girl's eyes. Instead, he carefully peeled off the orange and handed it back: "We will find someone eventually."
Qiao Nian saw the orange she had peeled returned in front of her again. She paused, looked up, and saw the thick inkstone under the man's eyes.
My heart skipped a beat.
She took it slowly, her eyes dark, and pursed her lips and said, "I haven't figured out how to explain to you what Lu Zhi did this time."
Just because Lu Zhi did something like this, everyone would definitely be angry.
She is not one to hesitate.
But Jian Jin is also involved here.
Qiao Nian has always been indifferent to outside affairs, but he knows what Jian Jin's dream has always been.
Jian Jin always wanted the three of them to stay together forever.
This time, Jian Jin was willing to risk a falling out with Lu Zhi and rushed to the Red Alliance headquarters regardless of her own safety. No matter what, at least she couldn't cause trouble for Lu Zhi right afterward and make him lose limbs.
But after this incident, Qiao Nian was sure that she and Lu Zhi could no longer be friends.
Everyone has different standpoints and different principles. Not to mention that Lu Zhi's actions this time touched her bottom line and went too far.
Even if they had a life-and-death friendship in the past, he would not use it like this.
PS: Don't worry, the old witch will be unlucky.
