Heâ¦
I mean, your boyfriend, he will gradually come to terms with it!â
Lu Yinchu couldnât say much more.
All he could do was comfort her and be there for her.
Nanxi bit her lip, holding back tears that shimmered in her eyes, but she was determined to not let them fall.
What does it matter if she cried in front of Lu Yinchu?
Lu Yinchu no longer spoke, his heart heavy, suppressed, and filled with sorrow.
He took her to the Gu familyâs hospital.
As they got out of the car, Nanxi looked at him, taken aback, âWhy did you bring me here?â
She had been lost in her thoughts the whole way, not realizing where he was driving.
Lu Yinchu reached out and took her hand lightly, âYou hurt your hand, didnât you notice?â
Nanxi was taken aback, looking at her hand, it seemed a bit twisted, and there were clear red marks left by Li Weihuanâs grip.
Her eyes darkened as she heard the man speak, âLetâs go.â
He reached out to touch her face gently, noticing the wound at the corner of her mouth.
His lips twitched, gripping her tiny hand tightly as he led her inside.
Gui Xi was not on duty today, so he was not in the hospital.
But Lun Ying was there and her presence was just as comforting.
In the doctorâs office, Lu Yinchu smoked in the corridor while Lun Ying applied medicine to Nanxiâs hand.
Nanxi gazed down, her eyes full of hidden sorrow, inducing a sense of pity.
âDid something happen between you and Mr.
Lu?â Lun Ying suddenly asked.
Nanxi stilled, shaking her head, âNo, nothing happenedâ¦â
âOh.â Lun Ying didnât say anything else, continuing to treat her wound, advising her on precautions, and nothing more.
Nanxi felt that Lun Ying was acting a bit strange today.
After the treatment, Lu Yinchu was already waiting at the door.
Without hesitation, he took Nanxiâs hand, thanked Lun Ying, and left with Nanxi.
Watching their departing figures, Lun Ying felt a chill in her heart.
So, it really happened, didnât it?
How is he doing, then?
â¦
Lu Yinchu escorted Nanxi out of the hospital.
As they got to the car, Nanxi was reluctant, âTake me back to Susuâs place, or I wonât get in the car!â
Lu Yinchu furrowed his brows slightly, âNanxi, donât be unreasonable!
Tonight, you must stay with me!â
âThereâs no reason!
Lu Yinchu, I broke up with my boyfriend and almost immediately started dating you, what does that make meâ¦
Anyway, I have to go back.
If you wonât take me, Iâll take a taxi!â
Nanxi prepared to leave, but Lu Yinchu stopped her, sighing in resignation, âFine, Iâll take you there!â
Nanxi bit her lip.
It felt as though she was being unfair to Lu Yinchu.
But at this moment, she didnât have the energy to worry about his feelings.
She just wanted to be alone!
Lu Yinchu helped her into the car.
She pushed him away, âI can handle myself.
Donât treat me like a childâ¦â
She didnât like feeling like a child in his presence.
She wasnât that immature, surely!
Lu Yinchu didnât let go.
Instead, he hugged her tighter, âI am ten years your senior, so naturally, you would seem like a child to me.
Itâs my duty to protect you, now and always!â
Nanxiâs eyes shimmered, a wave of sadness washed over her due to his words.
He had waited for her for eight years, but it took her eight years to fall in love with him!
In truth, this was quite unfair to him!
Once they got in the car, Nanxi became much quieter.
Although she remained silent, her hand was tightly entwined with his â their warmth transferring between them.
Forty minutes later, they arrived at the apartment complex where Nanxi and Yang Su were staying.
It should have only taken twenty-five minutes, but he droveâ¦
very slowly, just to spend a little more time with her.
Nanxi noticed this, but she said nothing.
After getting out of the car, Nanxi told Lu Yinchu, âItâs late, you should go backâ¦
Also, donât contact me or come find me for a while!â
Lu Yinchu frowned but didnât respond.
Nanxi felt her actions were perhaps a bit extreme and hurriedly added, âOnce Iâve collected my thoughts, I will come to see you!â
Lu Yinchu fixed his eyes on her, sighing.
He wrapped his arms around her and answered with a gentle voice, âAlright, Iâll wait for you!â
Nanxi burrowed into his embrace, without a word.
Her heart felt a little wounded and disorganized.
