Hospital, Qin Miaomiao sat by the bedside, peeling an apple. Joanna reclined partway on the bed, her beautiful eyes fixed intently on her, so soft that it seed tenderness might drip from them.
"ow ow ow, thank you for saving ." Joanna struggled with Qin Miaomiao’s na and couldn’t pronounce it correctly.
"Actually, it was more like I got you embroiled in this."
Joanna suddenly wrapped her arms around Qin Miaomiao’s waist, resting her head on her shoulder, savoring the fragrance on her body, her heart racing wildly.
"No way! ow ow ow is the best. How about you stay here in Paris and don’t go back to the country, okay?"
At least if she stayed in France, Joanna would still have a chance—opportunities to see her, to hug her, to kiss her, and maybe more.
Qin Miaomiao felt deeply guilty for being the cause of Joanna’s injury, so she did not react too strongly against Joanna’s intimate actions.
"You should rest and recover. If there’s a chance in the future, you can visit in Yan Jing."
Joanna looked up at her, her lake-blue eyes suddenly clouding with sorrow. Qin Miaomiao instantly felt as if she’d committed so kind of unforgivable cri.
The door creaked open as Lu Qing appeared at the doorway, followed by George. The temperature in the room seed to drop by ten degrees at the sight.
George’s right eyelid twitched. Without a second thought, he lunged forward and threw his arms around Lu Qing!
"Lu, calm down. My sister’s a wounded person right now—she can’t handle being tossed around."
"Let go."
"No way!"
George frantically signaled Joanna with his eyes: Sis, if you don’t back down now, even I won’t be able to save you!
Joanna glanced at Lu Qing, then, in a provocative move, smacked a kiss onto Qin Miaomiao.
Qin Miaomiao was instantly petrified! When she regained her senses, she instinctively jumped up and kept a ten-ter distance from the bed to make her position clear.
Lu Qing imdiately threw George over his shoulder and slamd him onto the ground, eliciting a shriek of pain. "Ahhh, ouch, ouch, ouch...!"
Unfazed, Joanna spoke daringly:
"Lu, what do I have to do for you to agree to let ow ow ow be with ?"
Lu Qing stepped toward Qin Miaomiao, placing a hand on her shoulder—how painful...
His lips curled into a smile, but the coldness in the curve would send shivers down anyone’s spine.
"Miaomiao, do you like Joanna?"
Huh?
Joanna’s gorgeous eyes turned to look at her. She nodded slightly. Her shoulder hurt, so she quickly shook her head instead.
"Do you want to stay here?"
She shook her head.
"Good. Then it’s ti for us to leave."
Lu Qing wrapped his arm around her shoulders and led her out. Joanna called out urgently behind her:
"ow ow ow..."
She turned her head and saw Joanna’s ocean-deep eyes, looking so pitiful. She...
"Joanna’s injuries aren’t fully healed yet. How about—"
Lu Qing’s expression darkened: "I’ll arrange for the best doctor."
"Oh."
His grip on her shoulder almost felt like it was crushing her collarbone—Yamade! She quickly clarified:
"Um, Joanna, I’ll head back first. Once you’ve recovered, you’re welco to visit Yan Jing as a guest."
The mont she finished speaking, Lu Qing dragged her away.
As the door shut, Joanna’s face turned noticeably darker. After a long mont, she murmured:
"Brother, no one has ever been willing to risk getting caught just to save ."
George understood his sister’s notoriously headstrong personality—she was impossible to control.
"So?"
"So, I want to keep her by my side."
"Lu is not soone you can ss with."
Joanna smiled confidently: "Neither am I. Brother, are you willing to let take your place?"
"What are you planning?"
"Dad said I’m more suited for it than you. I used to think it was boring, but now it seems interesting. Brother, if I’m strong enough, I’ll be able to openly take what’s mine, won’t I?"
George reminded her:
"You’re a woman. This is a man’s world."
