Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Jin Qingyan was immediately rushed to the emergency unit of the First People’s Hospital in A City.
Fortunately, Jin Qingyan did not suffer any major injuries. After running a thorough physical check on his body, the doctor said, “Apart from a fracture in his right calf, the rest are all external injuries that are not much of a problem. He’s passed out. Just wait for him to come to.”
“Thank you, Doctor. Please arrange for Young Sir to be admitted to the best ward in the hospital.”
“Alright, please proceed to handle the administrative procedures.”
Word about Jin Qingyan’s accident made it onto the news in less than an hour after it occurred.
However, the exact details of the situation had been kept confidential. When the reporters arrived at the hospital, Xiao Huang and Xiao Lu accepted their interviews after seeking the approval of An Xiaoning.
“Here’s what happened. Young Sir had to go out to handle something urgent that cropped up at the last minute. He inevitably had to drive faster and coincidentally stumbled upon some racers. That’s how the accident happened.”
“What is Mr. Jin’s current condition, then? Are his injuries severe?”
Xiao Lu answered, “Apart from a fracture in his right calf, he sustained only external wounds.”
“…”
After the interview ended, Xiao Huang headed back to the estate since he had to be on duty the following day. Xiao Lu and a dozen of the other bodyguards stayed behind outside the ward.
Due to the fact that there were no available flights at midnight, Fan Shixin and An Xiaoning had no choice but to rush back from B City by car.
It was already six o’clock in the morning by the time they arrived in A City.
The sky had turned bright when they reached the hospital. An Xiaoning did not catch a wink at all throughout the journey back because she was too worried about Jin Qingyan.
She finally felt more relieved after seeing him lying on the hospital bed.
After asking Xiao Lu for the details of the situation, An Xiaoning concluded, “Seems like Henry knows that he’ll never be able to leave Wei Ni Estate using his own identity. That’s why he pretended to be Qingyan. However, there’s something he clearly doesn’t know.”
“Young Madam, what is it that he’s not aware of?”
Shaking her head, An Xiaoning answered, “Nothing, go home with Shixin. I’ll stay here on my own.”
“Young Madam, if you’re tired, do get some rest too.”
“Got it.”
Xiao Lu and Fan Shixin left the ward and closed the door gently after them.
The hospital bed was queen-sized and could fit two people. Indeed, she was rather weary and thus removed her shoes before lying down beside him. However, she constantly pondered over a question.
When he returned from Y Nation, he had told her in private that something had changed within him and that he was now definitely stronger than her. However, he refused to answer when she asked him for the details.
An Xiaoning was no fool, and she could tell all the superficial changes in his appearance ever since he returned after spending several days with Xiao Chenyang. Hence, she had a hunch that he was referring to being stronger than her physically, in terms of martial arts. Apart from that, she could not think of any other reason.
Since he had now become more skilled than her, how could he have possibly been knocked into the ditch by those racers?
Clearly, Henry had no idea.
An Xiaoning was filled with qualms and uncertainty. Jin Qingyan’s greatest enemy was Henry, not Xihou Jiaping.
After all, it would be hard to distinguish Henry from Jin Qingyan if Henry were to pose as the latter.
In fact, he had already pulled that trick.
She felt her eyelids getting heavy, and she closed her eyes to sleep.
She woke up again later because of an excruciating pain.
She opened her eyes and got up from the ground. Staring at Henry, who had kicked her off the bed, she rebuked, “Do you find your non-fractured leg to be extremely useful? Do you really think that I won’t break that too? Let’s see if you can still kick me when that happens.”
“I’m hungry, make me some food.”
“I’ll let you starve to death,” said An Xiaoning, who was grabbing her mobile phone while rubbing her elbow.
She called Fan Shixin and said, “A pig here says that he’s hungry. Go make him some food.”
Upon hearing her words, Fan Shixin immediately knew that Henry was still occupying Jin Qingyan’s body. “Got it, I’ll go over later.”
After she ended the call, Henry retorted in disgruntlement, “Pig? An Xiaoning, you actually launched a personal attack.”
“Not only am I going to do that, I’m also going to attack your body. I really wish I could hammer your head onto the wall with a nail. Now that your calf is fractured, you’re going to be bedridden for more than just a few days. Does it feel great? Are you happy now? You can’t go out anymore, can you?”
Recalling the accident, Henry said in displeasure, “Those fellows better not let me see them again. If not, I’m going to rip them into shreds. They resorted to such dirty tricks just because they couldn’t overtake me…”
An Xiaoning glowered at him and walked toward the other edge of the bed where she sat down. He then kicked her again with his left leg and ordered, “Sit on the chair.”
“I’m tired…”
“Go home and sleep.”
An Xiaoning ignored him and lifted his leg off her before lying down.
“I’ll watch you. You’re not going anywhere,” she said, facing him while lying on her side.
Henry shifted his gaze onto her face. Although An Xiaoning had her eyes tightly shut, she knew that he was looking at her.
“If you kick me off the bed again, I’ll break your leg. Try me if you don’t believe it.”
Henry was filled with discomfort and felt an excruciating pain all over his body, especially in the areas where he was wounded.
He was staring blankly at the ceiling when Fan Shixin arrived with the lunchbox.
“Adjust my bed to prop me up.”
Fan Shixin placed the lunchbox on the table and walked toward the other end of the bed to recline it upward. He then removed the lid of the lunchbox and took out two small plastic bags from the top layer. He handed one to him and brought the other one over to An Xiaoning, who had dozed off just a while ago. He then woke An Xiaoning up.
“Young Madam, have some food before you sleep.”
An Xiaoning took it from him and said with her eyes glassed over, “Go check on things at the office.”
“Yes, I will.”
“Why does she get a more sumptuous breakfast than me?” Henry questioned, staring at her breakfast, which consisted of some eggs, steamed dumplings, and a sandwich. Meanwhile, he only had one small steamed bun in his bag.
Fan Shixin walked toward the table and said, “You haven’t taken the rest out yet.”
He then took out the beverages from the bottom layer of the lunchbox. There was soy milk for Henry and milk for An Xiaoning.
This is such a… huge difference in treatment!
Henry complained indignantly, “I’m the patient here. She’s alive and kicking, why does she need such nutritious food? You should be letting her have the small bun and soy milk instead.”
Fan Shixin rolled his eyes at him and retorted, “Be thankful that you still get to eat after causing Young Sir’s body to be in such a wreck. I really wanted to give you just a packet of instant noodles.”
What a bully!
After Fan Shixin left, An Xiaoning sat cross-legged on the bed and deliberately turned to face him while indulging in her food.
He could fit the entire bun into his mouth and found it to be extremely tasteless.
After having his fill, he said coldly, “I need to use the washroom.”
“Hold it in and wait for me to finish eating.”
“How am I supposed to hold it in…? I need to pee, hurry and help me,” he lamented, squeezing his legs together tightly.
“Hold it in.” She continued eating unhurriedly.
Henry was seething with anger. At last, he hollered, “Hurry, I’m about to wet the bed!”
“Sure, go ahead. I’ll get the nurse to clean up once you’re done.”
Henry could not tolerate it any further. This damn woman!
