Bai Yiyan stared at the man"s taut face as he applied the medicine. When she looked carefully, her forehead was covered in a thin layer of sweat. He was actually sweating in this cold spring. Was he worrying about her? Or was it because he was very nervous about her applying the medicine?
"Ji Yueze, listen to me, it"s not that I doubt you have the ability, I just don"t want you to go with me. You have to promise me that you won"t interfere in this matter!" Bai Yiyan said with a serious expression and a resolute tone.
Ji Yueze narrowed his eyes and said lightly, "If a man doesn"t even have the ability to protect his woman, is he still a man?"
Bai Yiyan"s heartbeat quickened again as she stared unblinkingly at the man"s serious expression.
"Ji Yueze, if you don"t mind my current ident.i.ty, I am extremely grateful. I feel that I must have been virtuous in my previous life, that"s why I met you in this life. But, do you know? I want you to live a peaceful life. If I let you take the risk and get injured, then I will really be scared. It doesn"t matter if I die or not, I don"t want anything to happen to you! " Bai Yiyan suddenly reached out her hand and gripped the hand that was applying the medicine on her tightly. She exerted a lot of strength, as if she wanted him to listen to every word she said in his head.
"What are you holding me for?" Ji Yueze frowned slightly.
"Promise me that you won"t interfere in my business. Ji Yueze, I"m not joking with you, you have to promise me." At this moment, Bai Yiyan was so determined that no one could ignore her.
Ji Yueze raised his head and looked at her. His thin lips pulled up into a smile: "I can"t promise anyone."
"Ji Yueze ??" Bai Yiyan was so frightened that her heart went cold. She shouted his name with all her might.
Ji Yueze raised his eyebrows and looked at her with his deep eyes.
"If you don"t promise, then I will break up with you!" Bai Yiyan was both shocked and frightened. She found that there was no other way for him to promise her, so she could only threaten him with her feelings.
"Say that again?" Ji Yueze suddenly held her hand with astonis.h.i.+ng strength.
Bai Yiyan cried out in pain, and the man immediately let go.
"Bai Yiyan, I"m not a timid person, understand?" Ji Yueze sighed and expressed his stance.
"I didn"t say that you"re a coward. I just don"t want any mishap. I don"t want a chance for a little injury. I don"t want any of it to happen to you!" Bai Yiyan had her own insistence. She had been kidnapped twice, so she felt that this society was not safe.
"Alright, let"s not talk about this anymore. Lie down and I"ll wipe the wound on your chest with some medicinal wine!" Ji Yueze didn"t want to argue with her because it was meaningless to argue with her.
However, Bai Yiyan was still very uneasy because Ji Yueze had yet to agree to her request.
"Ji Yueze, are you listening to my words seriously? I don"t want you to avenge me! " Bai Yiyan was still holding onto his arm tightly.
"Lie down!" The man ordered her without explanation.
Bai Yiyan realized that she was being held tightly by this man, so she had no choice but to listen to him and lie down. Ji Yueze poured some of the wine on his palm and smeared it over her injured spot.
It was as big as the palm of his hand, and all of it was red and swollen.
"Do you want to go to the hospital for an examination? I"m worried that you won"t only be injured on the surface!" Every time Ji Yueze looked at it again, the shock in his heart would roll over every time he looked at it. It was enough to make his heart ache to death.
"It"s fine, just help me wipe it off!" Bai Yiyan shook her head. Right now, she didn"t want to go anywhere. She just wanted to stay by his side. No matter how much it hurt, she was willing to stay by his side.
Ji Yueze pressed his finger down hard, causing Bai Yiyan"s body to tremble uncontrollably from the pain.
w.a.n.g Cheng had kicked him in this position last night. After a whole night, the wounds had already swelled up. The pain spread to every inch of his body, making it difficult to endure.
"Aside from injuring you, did they ??" When Ji Yueze was halfway through his words, he suddenly stopped because he didn"t dare to ask.
"No!" Bai Yiyan knew what he was asking and immediately replied, "I really didn"t!"
Ji Yueze"s throat was dry. He bit his lips tightly and did not ask any further questions.
However, the strength of his fingertip didn"t decrease, because blood stasis could only be dispersed by force. Although Ji Yueze saw that she was in so much pain that her face turned pale, he didn"t want to show mercy.
After Ji Yueze had wiped her dark blue skin, Bai Yiyan"s whole body trembled from the pain as cold sweat seeped out.
"Lie down, I"ll make you something to eat!" When Ji Yueze saw her pitiful appearance, he really wanted to bear all of this for her.
"En!" Bai Yiyan didn"t have the strength to get up now. She curled up in his blanket and slowly closed her eyes.
Smelling the familiar masculine scent, Bai Yiyan was finally able to fall asleep.
She dreamed of Bai Zhenzhen lying in a pool of blood, and she dreamed of a car charging at Ji Yueze, and she dreamed of herself being thrown into a lake, cold and lifeless.
"Ah ??" Bai Yiyan woke up from her nightmare to find that the sky outside her window had changed. It was dark and looked like it was about to rain.
"What"s wrong?" The bedroom door was pushed open and Ji Yueze walked in quickly.
"Did I sleep long?" Bai Yiyan asked while rubbing her sore neck.
"It"s already past 2 in the afternoon. You"ve slept for a few hours, get up and eat something!" In the end, Ji Yueze got his a.s.sistant to send some light and easily digestible food over. He didn"t know how to cook it and even tried to cook it, but he couldn"t even eat it, let alone feed it to her.
Bai Yiyan wiped the cold sweat off her forehead and asked with great difficulty, "Is there any news about my mom?"
Ji Yueze"s face slightly darkened: "She"s already been locked up. Don"t worry, she"s very safe in there. For the time being, her life is not in danger!"
"Thank you!" Bai Yiyan couldn"t help but say gratefully.
Ji Yueze mocked, "Actually, I want to quickly convict her. Unfortunately, due to various reasons, we can"t convict her yet, but, it"s safer to be locked in here than outside, right?"
"Yes, she told me before that she wanted to be locked up ??" Bai Yiyan lowered her eyes in grief.
"Alright, I think she volunteered to go in for your safety!" Ji Yueze didn"t want to see her despair.
"I really didn"t expect it to be her daughter!" Bai Yiyan was also forced to accept her new ident.i.ty.
"No one would have thought of that!" Ji Yueze snorted.
Bai Yiyan felt like her life had been disrupted with a single blow of a stick. She couldn"t even find a direction and a sense of belonging.
"Ji Yueze, if your mother knows about my relations.h.i.+p with her, she definitely won"t accept me anymore. If that"s really the case, then we"ll ??"
"You gave up pretty easily!" Ji Yueze was instantly enraged.
"No, I don"t want to give up!" Bai Yiyan shook her head, feeling conflicted.
