Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Cui Shiji had a complicated expression on his face. After a long time, he said solemnly, “He’s fine. Leave.”
Hearing that he was fine, Lan Jingbai’s worried heart relaxed, and he couldn’t help but look inside.
Cui Shiji said in a low voice, “Have you forgotten what you said?”
Lan Jingbai’s heart trembled, and his expression gradually darkened. He stood up numbly and bowed to Madam Cui Shiji.
She looked at his zombie-like appearance and thought of Cui Muzhi’s empty eyes lying on the bed. They were all children raised together.
Madam Cui couldn’t bear it. “Why don’t…”
“Impossible, absolutely impossible!”
Cui Shiji was so angry that he blew his nose and glared at him. He couldn’t even be bothered to go to the flower appreciation event. He turned around and entered the house. He even instructed the steward, “Don’t let a fly in!” Then, he glanced in Cui Muzhi’s direction and said, “Take good care of Young Master. Before he recovers, don’t let him leave the door for even a half-step.”
When the steward received the order, he immediately instructed everyone in the house to take action.
Madam Cui felt uneasy. When she arrived outside Cui Muzhi’s door, the servant bowed to her and whispered, “Young Master seems to be asleep.”
Since she was asleep, Madam Cui would not enter.
After she took two steps out, her gaze landed outside the villa. She suddenly walked back and knocked on the door. “Muzhi, it’s Mother.”
There was no response from inside.
Madam Cui’s heart skipped a beat. She took out a spare key and quickly opened the door.
In the empty room, the window was open. Madam Cui went forward and saw the scattered ropes. She immediately shouted in shock, “Hurry up and find Muzhi!”
The wounds on his body had yet to recover. How could he get out of bed casually?
Moreover, even if he went to look for Jingbai, what outcome would there be?
It wasn’t like he didn’t know that with his father’s temper, he would never allow the two of them to be together.
Cui Muzhi held his stomach and dragged his leg that had twisted after he jumped off the wail. He gritted his teeth and chased after Lan Jingbai.
Ding, ding, ding –
Gou Houxing pa.s.sed by while carrying Zhao Lanzhi and asked in surprise, “Cui Muzhi, didn’t you just undergo surgery? Why are you here? What happened to your leg?”
Cui Muzhi turned a deaf ear to it. It was already like this, but he still rushed forward.
When Zhao Lanzhi saw that Cui Muzhi’s stomach was bleeding, she hurriedly jumped out of the car and said to Gou Houxing, “Hurry up and send him to Doctor Gu.”
Seeing that he did not seem to listen to his advice, Gou Houxing carried him and pressed him against the back of the tricycle. “Tell me where you want to go. If it’s settled, let’s go to the doctor, okay?”
Cui Muzhi stopped insisting and pointed. “This way!”
Gou Houxing turned around and said to Zhao Lanzhi, “Be careful on the way. If 1 don’t come after work, 1’11 get Old Li to pick you up.”
Zhao Lanzhi nodded. “Go quickly. I understand.”
She stood where she was and watched them gradually leave. Then she turned and walked towards the Cui residence.
Seeing Cui Muzhi run out like this, she must inform the Cui family about this.
Gou Houxing strode forward with his long legs. Cui Muzhi quickly discovered that familiar figure in the crowd.
He was about to jump out of the carriage in joy when a beautiful figure ran to Lan Jingbai’s side like a b.u.t.terfly. She reached out and brushed Lan Jingbai’s messy hair behind his ears affectionately.
Gou Houxing followed his stunned gaze and looked at Ziya. “Your sweetheart?” He glanced at Lan Jingbai and said, “If you’re a man, rush up and s.n.a.t.c.h her!”
Cui Muzhi held his stomach and jumped out of the carriage in a sorry state. Gou Houxing regretted it a little. Would he be beaten up if he rushed up like this?
Thinking of the relationship between the Cui family and his sister-in-law, Gou Houxing hurriedly followed. If there was a fight, he would carry him away.
In any case, there would be plenty of opportunities to s.n.a.t.c.h her away in the future.
He couldn’t let him become crippled now.
Cui Muzhi approached step by step. As if they were telepathic, Lan Jingbai turned around and their gazes met in the air. The corners of their eyes were red.
Ziya looked at the thin young man in the crowd and wondered why he was standing there. She also wondered why Lan Jingbai kept staring at him.
Could it be that they knew each other?
Ziya asked, “Is he your friend? He seems to be injured.”
In the next second, Lan Jingbai rushed towards Cui Muzhi at the speed of light, picked him up horizontally, and headed towards the medical center.
Gou Houxing, who was guarding against the two of them fighting, and Ziya were shocked at the same time, their expressions filled with disbelief.
Gou Houxing looked at their backs. No way, no way. Could it be what he thought?
Ziya was a native of the southern frontier and was not surprised. It was just a pity that she quite liked Lan Jingbai.
In the end, it ended just like that.
Ziya sighed deeply. From the corner of her eye, she saw the tall and mighty Gou Houxing, and her eyes immediately lit up.
This was not bad either.
He was bursting with masculinity and would definitely be even more ferocious in bed.
Most importantly, his looks were her type.
Ziya swayed her hips and walked towards Gou Houxing. She flicked her beautiful hair and had just smiled when Gou Houxing ran away as if he had seen a ghost.
The local women of the southern frontier were quite bold.
Gou Houxing had already experienced it before. When Zhao Lanzhi saw him with one of them, she did not speak to him for a few days.
He did not want to get himself into trouble again for no reason.
The two men he had taken a fancy to had run away. Ziya stomped her feet when a man in a helmet suddenly b.u.mped into her.
Zhao Pengfei hurriedly apologized, “I’m sorry, Miss. I didn’t mean it.”
Zhao Pengfei was certainly handsome since he had been admired by Zhao Lanzhi for so many years.
Although it was not as domineering as Gou Houxing, as cold as Lan Jingbai, he had wheat-colored skin and looked knowledgeable with his eyes. He was quite uniquely charming.
Ziya pretended to be angry. “If you hit someone, shouldn’t you treat me to a meal?”
Zhao Pengfei was still in a hurry to teach. Without thinking, he took out a stack of bills from his pocket and handed it to her. “Miss, this is all I have on me.”
Ziya asked him to treat her to a meal. This blockhead actually thought that she was extorting money.
Exasperated, she said, “I want you to treat me to a meal, not give me money!”
Zhao Pengfei was not stupid. He could tell that this beautiful girl in front of him was interested in him.
However, he really did not have the mood to do so now. He might as well take a detour.
He had apologized and paid for it. He was not afraid that she would be unreasonable.
Ziya blocked his way. “There’s no way you can escape!”
Zhao Pengfei circled around her again.
Ziya stopped him again. “Ding, ding, ding-” A bicycle was approaching.
Ziya could dodge, but she did not. She was waiting for Zhao Pengfei to pull her.
At the critical moment, while the bicycle owner was cursing, Ziya was pulled in front of Zhao Pengfei.
She looked at him with bright eyes and said righteously, “You saved me. According to you Central Plains people, I have to devote myself to you! Come back to the tribe with me!”
Zhao Pengfei felt as if he had created trouble for himself. He let go of her hand but was grabbed by her again. “You’ve already grabbed it. Isn’t it a little too late to let go now?”
“Don’t worry, I’ll definitely treat you well.”
She had spoken in a familiar tone to countless people.
Zhao Pengfei frowned and pointed behind her. “Look!”
Ziya turned around. She did not see anything abnormal but Zhao Pengfei had already run dozens of meters before she realized that she had been tricked..
