Chapter 16: Chapter 16: Jiang Mian, You Stay Behind

Fu Sichen looked at everyone resting and said, "You can go have a meal now, and then take a two-hour nap afterward."

"And make sure you all eat enough. Ladies, don’t hold back. It wouldn’t look good if you faint from low blood sugar."

Fu Sichen’s gaze landed on Jiang Mian when he said this.

Jiang Mian thought Fu Sichen was hinting at her, so she pretentiously nodded in agreement.

Now wasn’t the time to offend Fu Sichen, after all, the proverb goes, ’A barking dog never bites.’

Unexpectedly, in the next second, Fu Sichen’s gaze fixed on Jiang Mian, and he said calmly and clearly, "Jiang Mian, you stay, everyone else can go to eat."

Huh??

What was Fu Sichen up to with this mysterious act?

He really was unpredictable.

As everyone else headed to the dining room, Fu Sichen glanced at the camera about to be shoved in their faces and said, "Some military matters are not suitable for broadcast; please excuse us, Director."

Jiang Mian: ?? What the hell?! Fu Sichen, don’t you dare put me in trouble.

Director’s team: This isn’t part of the procedure?!

Xiao Zhang: Should I stay or should I go... save me, please!

Audience comments: [??? What the heck are these two up to alone together!!! Jiang Mian, don’t ruin my husband]

Yet Fu Sichen spoke with such logic and reason, no one could discern any issue.

Xiao Zhang, who had been following Jiang Mian, obediently left after receiving instructions from the director’s team, and the live feed switched back to the dining room, leaving this side in the dark.

Jiang Mian looked at Yu Xinting, still unconscious on the bed, then turned towards Fu Sichen, her arms crossed, and asked faintly, "What’s the matter?"

Humph!

With no one around, there was no need to pretend anymore.

Fu Sichen suddenly picked up Jiang Mian, causing her to exclaim in surprise.

"Fu Sichen, what are you doing? Put me down."

Fu Sichen, composed, walked towards the inner sickbed and said, "This room isn’t soundproof. If you don’t want people to misunderstand, it’d be better if you kept your voice down."

Damn it!!

The scoundrel’s learned to threaten now!!

Truly—

A colossus of ultimate deception!

A bully riding on power!

Absolutely intolerable!

Jiang Mian felt her knowledge of idioms was getting pretty good.

Fu Sichen placed Jiang Mian on the sickbed, her legs dangling off the edge.

"Give me your hand."

Jiang Mian frowned slightly but still instinctively stretched out her hand.

Fu Sichen examined her open palm, his eyes and brows showing a touch of concern, "Don’t you know when it hurts?"

Her normally fair and clean palm now bore some dirt and several obvious scratches oozed with blood.

Jiang Mian’s skin was delicate to begin with; even though the abrasions were minor, they looked quite distressing against the surrounding skin.

Fu Sichen said this while searching for alcohol to disinfect her wound.

"Hiss—"

The sting of alcohol on the cut made Jiang Mian instinctively want to withdraw her hand, but the man gripped it firmly, saying, "I’ll be gentle."

As he spoke, he blew on the wound, and the cooling sensation seemed to lessen the pain.

Fu Sichen quickly treated the wound and applied a band-aid, "Be careful not to get it wet for now, and change the band-aid often. You can remove it before sleeping to prevent the wound from getting inflamed due to the heat."

He continued to inspect her other hand while he spoke and wiped it with a disinfectant wipe he picked up from nearby.

Seeing Fu Sichen crouch down, Jiang Mian immediately grabbed him, "What are you doing?!"

"I’m checking if you hurt your legs when you fell."

Jiang Mian laughed at Fu Sichen’s worried expression, "Are you silly? I didn’t fall on my knees just now, I’m not injured."

At Jiang Mian’s words, Fu Sichen immediately caught the important part, "You fell on your butt?"

"Stop, that’s enough."

If they continued, this man would certainly insist on checking whether her butt was injured, which would be way too embarrassing.

Jiang Mian held her stomach, her voice soft with a hint of complaining and aggrieved, "Training all morning without even a bite to eat..."

If there was something Jiang Mian was adept at, it was acting pitiful and sweet.

Fu Sichen’s magnetic voice was laced with laughter, "Alright, let’s go eat. Make sure to speak up if you’re injured."

Now he was worried.

And who was it that acted cold-hearted and uncompromising before?

Jiang Mian hopped off the bed and patted the dust off Fu Sichen’s shoulder, "If you treat us better, how could we get injured, right?"

Fu Sichen looked at the woman in front of him, who was deliberately provoking him, with a playful gleam in his eyes and a low chuckle.

Mischievous Mrs. Fu.

Jiang Mian walked out without looking back and immediately saw Yu Xinting sitting up with wide, round eyes, "You... you guys?"
