Chapter 512: Chapter 512: Beg You Chapter 512: Chapter 512: Beg You “Second brother, may I co in?”
An Zhiyuan had just removed the gauze from his shoulder, the gauze still bearing blood, yet the skin beneath was as smooth as ever, showing no sign of the knife wound that had once been there. He couldn’t help but cast a deep glance at Bai Xiao, who sat there reading the newspaper without changing her expression, seemingly engrossed.
She’s got so nerve!
No choice but to worry about it himself from now on.
Why did he feel like he had boarded a bandit’s ship?
Right then, he heard An Zhixiang’s voice. Before he could reply, An Zhixiang had already turned the doorknob and entered, slipping one arm into his shirt.
“Co in,” he said.
He buttoned up his shirt without changing his expression, completely covering his shoulder.
As soon as An Zhixiang entered, he saw his second brother getting dressed and noticed the gauze on the table at a glance.
It was still blood-stained, clearly indicating that his second brother had been changing his bandages.
“Second brother, are you changing your bandages? Do you need my help? Let apply the dicine for you.” An Zhixiang wanted to curry favor; after all, isn’t there a saying about biting the hand that feeds you? He didn’t know if buttering up his second brother would be of any use.
“No need. I’ve just finished changing it. This is the used gauze. Besides, if you were to clumsily handle it, you’d probably cause more pain than before,” An Zhiyuan said buttoning up one fastener after another.
“Am I as exaggerated as you make out to be?”
“Just spill it. No beating around the bush. The number of tis you’ve co to my room in the past year can be counted on one hand. We barely see each other as it is, and when I go to the team, we might not see each other even once in a year and a half. You’re not the type to show up without a reason,” An Zhiyuan changed the topic.
Seeing An Zhixiang co in, Bai Xiao stood up, “I’ll go fetch so things downstairs; you brothers should talk.”
She was leaving the room to them both.
Seeing Bai Xiao leave, An Zhixiang squird a bit before speaking up.
“Second brother, I have a favor to ask of you.”
An Zhiyuan scanned his younger brother; all of An Zhixiang’s thoughts were evident on his face.
“If you’re here to plead on Ding Min’s behalf, you can save your breath. Let’s not let an outsider cause a rift between us brothers. I’d rather not speak harshly and damage our rapport,” An Zhiyuan said with asured gravity.
An Zhixiang almost choked on his frustration.
“Second brother, can’t you just let Ding Min go? In my life, there’s nothing else I’ve asked you for. Could you please, just this once, let her off for my sake?” An Zhixiang persisted, emboldened by the usual tolerance his eldest and second brothers showed him.
“Little brother, I beg of you, don’t ask anything like this ever again in our lifeti. No matter what, we are blood brothers. Now you’re asking for the sake of soone else, soone who just stabbed your own brother in the shoulder. The way you talk, it seems Ding Min is even more important to you than I, your brother. It really breaks my heart, little brother,” An Zhiyuan said with earnest sadness; his younger brother was indeed too emotional.
“Second brother, we’re blood brothers. That’s why I’m asking you—because I know you are my kin. Ding Min isn’t unforgivably wicked. She was just impulsive today, and she has already learned her lesson. I promise, I will only ask this of you once in my life, I’ll never ask anything of you again, just please, for my sake, let her go this ti,” he pleaded.
“Little brother, by doing this for Ding Min, you’re weighing our brotherly bond against her. You’ve truly hurt .”
An Zhiyuan never expected his brother to be so reckless for Ding Min’s sake.
“Second brother, let tell you the truth. I like Ding Min, just like you like your sister-in-law. Everyone advised you against her, but you were willing to face the world for her sake. My feelings for Ding Min are the sa. I’m asking you just this once to let her go,” An Zhixiang said with resolution.
An Zhiyuan was speechless.
