âEnen, please lift your left hand a little. Yes, gently lift it. If it hurts, stop there;
I mainly want to see how your bone is healing.â
Chi Enen did as told and gently lifted her injured hand, but as soon as she got halfway, it pulled at the wound on her shoulder, causing her to purse her lips in pain.
Just as she was about to try again, someone forcefully lowered her arm.
âFind another way to check!â came a forceful command.
Si Chen was truly helpless this time and said sullenly, âYouâre not asking for a CT scan, yet you wonât let me touch her. What can I do? I donât have X-ray vision to see through her clothes.â
Li Beijueâs falcon-like eyes narrowed. His half-veiled gaze was thick with possessiveness, and his voice was as chilling as Long Winter, âIf you had X-ray vision, Iâd send you to the Military District to have it dug out and studied.â ââ¦â Chi Enen stood by silently, speechless. This really was his typical style! Simple and brutal!
Imagining the scene of having his eyes gouged out, Si Chen shuddered inexplicably, his smile stiffening as he quickly waved his hands, âJust kidding. I didnât say anything.ân/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
âHow is she doing?â
He didnât even look, yet he thought he knew anything! Cursing inwardly, Si Chen nevertheless spoke with fake professionalism, âThe wound has started to scab over, and the muscles and bones are healing. As long as we take care not to get her wound wet, she should be able to go outside for some fresh air.â âShould?â The cold-faced man was clearly dissatisfied with this answer.
Si Chen quickly corrected himself, âI misspoke. She can go outside for some fresh air, no âshouldâ about it.â
Chi Enen looked up in confusion. What did he mean by going outside? Was Li Beijue going to take her out?
Only then did she notice that, for the first time ever, Li Beijue was dressed formally today. The crane-colored military uniform he wore fit him perfectly, dignified and resplendent. His bearing exuded a pride and superiority instilled from a wealthy upbringing, which was mesmerizing to behold.
Lin Anxin indeed couldnât look awayâher attitude towards Si Chen earlier transformed completely, and her eyes shone as if she were a fan girl seeing her idol, making Si Chen beside her even more morose!
Li Beijue completely ignored everyone else in the ward. He bent down, scooped up the woman from the sickbed with a princess carry, and placed her in the nearby wheelchair. Then, without looking back, he dismissed the others, âAlright, you can leave.â
âYes, yes, Iâm leaving,â Si Chen muttered as he caught a glimpse of the still uncomprehending woman, grabbing her hand and dragging her along, âBeauty, itâs a beautiful day outside, letâs take a walk together.â
âAre you crazy? Who wants to walk around a hospital? I wonât, let go⦠letâ¦â Lin Anxinâs struggle was futile, and before she could finish speaking, she was dragged outside.
âClickâ, the door closed.
Chi Enen felt a splitting headache, already contemplating how to explain everything that happened today to Lin Anxin the next time she saw her.
While she was thinking, a manâs arm appeared before her, and the authoritative request from the man above came through, âHelp me fasten the buttons on my sleeve.â
âOkay.â
Chi Enen snapped back to reality and after fastening the metal buttons on his sleeve, she looked up, asking curiously.
âLi Beijue, are you taking me out?â
âI have a place to go.â
âThen you go, Iâll wait at the hospitalâ¦â Before she could finish, he glared at her angrily.
Seeing the little lady in the wheelchair wisely shutting her impudent small mouth, Li Beijue was satisfied as he curled his thin lips, casually picked up a blanket from the bed, roughly covered her legs with it, and pushed the wheelchair to head outside.
