Chapter 33: Chapter 33 Do You Come or Do I Come? (1)_1

"You guys leave, I’ll check her out!"

"Oh oh oh, okay okay!" Having snapped back to reality, Zhang Te reflexively sprung towards the door. Halfway there, he saw Dr. Xie and Jingnian’s cousin still standing in the room, so he retreated, grabbed them both, and rushed out.

As the door closed, Jingnian immediately walked towards Xia Wan’an within the next second: "Do you want to do it or should I?"

Xia Wan’an blinked, not immediately registering what Jingnian was referring to.

Jingnian, standing in front of her and seeing her lack of response, spoke again: "I meant, do you want to undress yourself, or do you want me to do it for you?"

Xia Wan’an’s face flushed red instantly. She shook her head vigorously and instinctively stepped back: "There’s no need, I’m fine... really..."

Before Xia Wan’an could finish her stuttering sentence, Jingnian reached out, impatiently pulled her into his arms, and unzipped her dress before she could react.

Xia Wan’an instinctively wanted to flee. She reached out to grab her dress, trying to resist him, but the moment her fingertips touched the collar, Jingnian had already turned her around to see her back...

Jingnian’s cold gaze froze instantly when it landed on her back.

Realizing that she had been too late, Xia Wan’an stiffened, utterly rooted to the spot.

Had he seen the large bruised area on her back?

Xia Wan’an’s fingertips could not help but tightly grip the neckline of her dress.

Jingnian stared intently at Xia Wan’an’s back for a while before regaining his composure.

Her entire back was almost covered in bruises, some areas a deep purple... She must have bumped her back when she fell earlier, one spot was bleeding...

Jingnian stared fixedly at Xia Wan’an’s disturbing back for a while before snapping back to reality again.

Apart from the bleeding area, the other places were old injuries... but the bruises had not faded, they must’ve happened recently... just last week when he went home, she hadn’t had any injuries, so it must’ve happened within the last few days?

Such severe injuries, she must’ve been in the hospital, right? But how could he... not have known?

Before Jingnian could react, Xia Wan’an was the first to move. She gently took a step forward, picked up her dress, and covered her back, hiding the numerous scars.

Her movement snapped Jingnian out of his trance.

He looked at her for a long time before he finally spoke: "How did you hurt your back?"

It seemed like this was the first time he had asked her anything since their marriage...

Xia Wan’an was both surprised and incredulous. She quickly lifted her head to look at Jingnian, then gave a faint smile. As if the injury was not hers, she casually replied while zipping up her dress: "Just a minor accident, got banged up."

After pausing for a moment, Xia Wan’an added: "It’s almost healed now."

Jingnian remained silent, just looking at her.

Xia Wan’an was unsure what his gaze meant and felt very uneasy under his scrutiny. She glanced awkwardly around the room, then spoke again: "Um, there are still many things that need your attention, you should get to them... I, I..."

She wanted to say that he didn’t need to worry about her, but the words stuck in her throat when she realized that he had never cared for her.
