Chapter 449 - Chapter 449 Chapter 449 Acting Like a Thug_1

Chapter 449: Chapter 449: Acting Like a Thug_1 Chapter 449: Chapter 449: Acting Like a Thug_1 “Why don’t you hold your wife in your arms, and comfort her a little?” The attending doctor suddenly suggested. “Just be careful not to touch her right leg.”

“Fine fine fine! You can piss off now! You’re such a quack.”

“…” If he was a quack, why was he still needed?

Huo Beijiang sat on the hospital bed, cautiously lifting his wife into his arms, tenderly placing a kiss on Nan Fei’s forehead.

“Wife, don’t be afraid of the pain! If it hurts, I’ll kiss you to make it better.”

“It hurts…”

“Huo Beijiang?” Nan Fei strained to open her eyes from the haze of her pain and saw Huo Beijiang’s handsome face close to hers. She was much more lucid than she was in the evening, and her brain was functioning normally again.

She blinked in bewilderment, a slight smile rising unbidden from the depths of her eyes.

This is great!

She’s alive!

She still has a chance to fall in love with Huo Beijiang.

“Wife?” Huo Beijiang looked at Nan Fei, who had woken up and was gazing blankly at him without pushing him away or struggling. He found it quite incredulous.

Could his wife be confused?

“Silly wife? Could you be confused?” Huo Beijiang joked. “Well even if you are, at least you won’t run off or attract any unwanted attention anymore.”

Nan Fei finally responded, “You’re the one who’s silly!”

“Stop talking nonsense.” Huo Beijiang responded seriously, “Have you ever seen a fool as good-looking and capable as me?”

“I hadn’t before, until now.”

Huo Beijiang noticed that she’d stopped saying she was in pain, his heart eased a bit, but he feigned laughter, “So, have you started to like me?”

“Yes!” Nan Fei responded honestly, no longer evading or feeling shy.

However, her simple two-word answer left Huo Beijiang stunned for a while, even unconsciously tightening his hold on Nan Fei’s arm until she cried out, jolting him back to reality.

Nan Fei felt sweetness blooming in her heart, as if the pain in her body had lessened. She rested in Huo Beijiang’s arms, frowning a little, wanting to cry out in pain, but not wanting to worry him, she grit her teeth and bore it.

Huo Beijiang held her gently, his own body rigid with tension, afraid that any careless move would cause her pain.

“Wife?”

“Hmm?” Nan Fei responded sleepily.

“I… I want to apologize to you.”

Nan Fei blinked, waking up a bit before saying, “It’s not your fault.” She understood that Huo Beijiang was apologizing on behalf of Yuan Xueshan.

But there was no need for it.

Nan Fei was clear that Yuan Xueshan didn’t really want to kill her, and everything that happened today was indeed an accident. However, the reason for Yuan Xueshan’s betrayal was because of He Jinlan and Qiao Jingxuan.

Of course, she wouldn’t forgive Yuan Xueshan, but revenge was not hers to take.

Every debt has its debtor.

He Jinlan, Qiao Jingxuan, she would make sure to get her revenge.

Huo Beijiang squinted slightly, letting the topic drop. He could tell that Nan Fei was tired and just wanted her to get some rest. His arm, which had been bandaged in the morning after his release from the hospital, was stained red with blood from holding Nan Fei.

But he didn’t care at all, as if he couldn’t even feel the pain.

Nan Fei, in a daze, no longer felt the same level of pain she did before and gradually she drifted off to sleep.

“Knock, knock!” There was a soft knock on the ward door.

“Come in!” Huo Beijiang was worried that the position he was in might make Nan Fei uncomfortable, so he gently placed her down on the bed, picking up a large pillow to put under her head.

The door opened, and the attending doctor poked his head in with an ingratiating smile.

“Captain Huo, it’s time to change your bandages.”

Huo Beijiang looked the doctor up and down, ensuring Nan Fei’s blankets were adequately covering her before getting up.

Once outside the ward, he looked down at the doctor, his gaze passing over the doctor’s chest, wondering if this doctor named Lu Xiang had taken the wrong medication.

Huo Beijiang’s gaze was too obvious, and hard to ignore. “Hello Captain Huo, my name is Lu Xiang. I’m in charge of Jiang Nanfei’s case, and we’ll be seeing a lot of each other, so I thought I’d introduce myself.”
