Jing Tian was stunned. âHuh?â
I said frankly, âIs my leg broken? Is it incurable? Do I need to use a crutch or a wheelchair in the future?â
Jing Tian raised his eyebrows. âWhat nonsense are you talking about?â
I patted his chest with my movable hand. âItâs fine. I can accept the truth.â
Jing Tian pulled my hand away. âWhat truth? Why do you need a wheelchair or a crutch? Havenât I told you that youâre fine?â
I looked at Jing Tian and said carefully, âNow youâre more like your normal self. You were so gentle earlier that I had to assume the worst.â
Jing Tian didnât know whether to laugh or cry. He poked my forehead. âWhatâs all this nonsense in your head? We should send you to the neurological department to see if your head is injured too!â
I felt more at ease when he used this incredulous tone. I reached out to hug his arm. I rubbed my face against it. âWell, I was heavily injured. Can you blame me for thinking that Iâd be crippled?â
Jing Tian rubbed my head helplessly.
Mai Qiâs injury was the lightest. So I saw her the afternoon I woke up. She had a bandage around her arm. She walked with a limp but her mood was not bad.
âNanxing, is it painful?â She brought me a cup of fruit tea.
âWhat about you?â I asked in return.
She shook her arm at me. âItâs just some surface injuries, not as nearly as bad as you two.â
âWhereâs Jing Ni? Have you been to see her?â I didnât understand why Jing Tian didnât put Jing Ni and me in the same ward. Was it because Jing Niâs injury was more serious than mine?
Mai Qi flashed me a mysterious smile. âIâve been to her ward. She doesnât need me to take care of her.â
I nodded. âAuntie Bai Rui is taking care of her? Sheâd cry Jing Ni a river.â
Mai Qi smiled, âDo you really think Auntie Bai Rui would be notified about this?â
I was curious. âThen who is taking care of her?â
âTake a guess!â Mai Qiâs smile was gloating.
I shook my head. âI have no clue. Itâs not my little uncle, is it?â
âYour little uncle has been rejected already, so itâs not him.â Mai Qi took a sip of her fruit tea.
I sighed helplessly. My poor little uncle.
Maggie kept me in suspense until I begged her to tell me the truth. She finally leaned in to whisper conspiratorially, âMr. Qu Hao.â
I was stunned. âWhat about Mr. Qu Hao?â Then it hit me. âWait, Mr. Qu Hao is taking care of Jing Ni?â
Mai Qi nodded.
My eyes widened. âFor real?â
Mai Qi nodded with a smug look on her face.
I kept staring at her, and she nodded again.
âIsnât that incredible?â She asked.
This time, it was my turn to nod. âThatâs incredible. But how is this possible? Theyâve met... only two times before.â
Mai Qi shrugged, âPerhaps this is destiny?â
I was speechless. If it was destiny, its power was strong.
âBut why would Jing Ni like Qu Hao?â I muttered to myself.
Mai Qi huffed, âHave you seen my brother? He is the perfect man! So why wouldnât Jing Ni like him?ân/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
I raised my hand in surrender. I apologized for what I said.
Mai Qi sighed. âSay. My brother is perfect, so why doesnât Jing Ni like him?â
âHuh?â I was shocked again. I tried to parse the info in my mind. âYour big brother is taking care of Jing Ni because he likes Jing Ni, but Jing Ni doesnât really care for your big brother?â
Mai Qi nodded and sighed. âMy brother is such a good man. Jing Ni will be so happy being my sister-in-law.. Plus she wouldnât have any mother-in-law to serve. Ah, I really hope my brother can win over Jing Ni!â
