Chapter 749: Company
Jimmy was stunned when he saw Zhuang Long faint.
He could not help but suspect that Zhuang Long was acting and pretending to be unconscious. Until Xiao Li cried out in pain and asked him for help, “Uncle Jimmy, can you help move him away from ?” Zhuang Long fell on her and his head hit her chest.
The two lumps of soft flesh on her chest hurt badly.
“Oh, sorry, I’ll be right there!” Jimmy quickly walked forward and carried Zhuang Long off Xiao Li without much effort.
Xiao Li quickly buttoned her shirt and sat up.
Glancing at him and seeing that Xiao Li was already dressed, Jimmy said to Xiao Li, “Miss Lawson, I have to tell you seriously that Mr. Zhuang’s condition is very bad. For the sake of safety, I suggest that you don’t contact him too much.”
Xiao Li bit her lip, her expression still a little flustered and filled with fear. She cald down and said, “It’s my fault this ti. I said sothing wrong and angered him.”
Jimmy frowned, his eyes filled with hesitation.
He did not believe Xiao Li.
Seeing that Jimmy was suspicious, Xiao Li quickly said, “Really, Uncle Jimmy, you’ve observed him for so many years. You know very well that he’s a kind man. Today is indeed my fault. He only beca like this because I said sothing that made him lose control. Uncle Jimmy, please believe .”
Jimmy struggled against the woman’s pleading blue eyes.
“Miss Lawson, don’t be like this. If he loses control, you might be the first to be hurt. You…”
“He won’t,” Xiao Li said firmly. “He won’t really harm .”
Jimmy glared at her.
“Uncle Jimmy, please help send him ho. He’s still sick and his body is as hot as a small furnace!”
Hence, when a retired elite police officer saw a dangerous person, not only did he not arrest him and send him to the police station, but he also did his best to send this dangerous person ho safely.
Ji Yinbing heard the commotion and ran out of the room.
She was also a little shocked when she saw Jimmy and Xiao Li helping Zhuang Long back to the house. “What’s wrong with Zhuang Long?” Xiao Li quickly helped open the door and the three of them helped Zhuang Long lie on the bed. Xiao Li thanked Jimmy and waited for Jimmy to leave before Xiao Li took off Zhuang Long’s shoes.
Ji Yinbing poured cold water.
She was about to remove Zhuang Long’s clothes to wipe his body when Xiao Li said, “Let do it.”
Ji Yinbing hesitated.
She asked Xiao Li, “If it’s inconvenient for you, I can…”
“It’s okay. I’ve already seen what I shouldn’t see. There’s nothing to worry about.” She took off Zhuang Long’s clothes and wiped his body with a cold towel. Ji Yinbing stood at the side. She stared at the scar on Zhuang Long’s chest and asked Xiao Li, “Do you know what happened that caused the scar on his chest?”
Xiao Li paused in her actions.
Ji Yinbing noticed it and narrowed her eyes.
She had only discovered the long scar on Zhuang Long’s chest when she cooled him down last night. At that ti, she felt that it was strange. The color of the scar was already very light, and it looked like it had been there for a few years. She thought that Zhuang Long had undergone surgery when he was young, so Ji Yinbing did not take it to heart.
She saw it again and asked about it.
However, from Xiao Li’s reaction, it seed like there was sothing else.
Xiao Li pretended not to know what Ji Yinbing was thinking.
She raised one of Zhuang Long’s hands and bent down to wipe his armpit. She said in a calm voice, “He had a heart surgery when I was young, so the scar was left behind.”
“Is that so?”
Ji Yinbing felt that Xiao Li was lying.
However, since Xiao Li said so, she naturally refused to tell the truth. No matter how much she asked, she could not get to the bottom of it.
After Xiao Li was done, Ji Yinbing gave Zhuang Long an injection.
Xiao Li watched from the side. After she fixed the pillow, she asked, “Is his cold serious?”
“If we ignore it, a cold can burn people to death.”
Xiao Li frowned and asked, “What’s wrong with him? Why does he have a cold?” Recently, the weather had been getting hotter and the temperature had been increasing. Wasn’t it cold and hot at the sa ti? How could he have a cold?
Upon hearing this, Ji Yinbing shrugged and smiled. She scolded, “He’s courting death!”
“Really?”
“I heard from the head butler that Zhuang Long ca back in the middle of the night two days ago and ran to the boxing room to practice for an hour. Then, he lay in that room and slept for the entire night…”
Xiao Li’s eyebrows twitched. “Is he a fool?”
“Of course.”
Xiao Li felt helpless towards Zhuang Long, but she remained silent.
Ji Yinbing suddenly said, “He’s a fool and aren’t you his favorite?”
Xiao Li was stunned and looked at her in surprise without saying anything.
Ji Yinbing smiled faintly at her. She sat down beside Xiao Li and said, “I can tell that you’re worried about him.” She tilted her head and looked at Xiao Li. She asked her in a curious tone, “Why do you want a divorce? You clearly can’t let go. Did sothing happen?”
Xiao Li could not maintain the smile on her face.
Her lips moved, and she almost said those unknown things. However, her gaze shifted to Zhuang Long, who was lying on the bed. After thinking about it, she held back. Seeing Xiao Li’s hesitation, Ji Yinbing guessed that she had sothing she could not say. She thought about it carefully and finally decided not to ask her.
Xiao Li was already an adult and a smart adult. Her every move should have her intentions.
That night, Xiao Li stayed in Zhuang Long’s room.
Ji Yinbing was also guarding at the side. When she was halfway done with the bottle of dicine, Xiao Li suddenly said, “I’ve been married to him for six years. I can count the number of tis I’ve been to this room with one hand.” She looked up at the room and found it unfamiliar everywhere.
As a woman, Ji Yinbing felt that it was not worth it for Xiao Li.
“I’ve always wanted to ask, why did you insist on marrying Zhuang Long back then?” Ji Yinbing had wanted to ask this question since the first ti she saw Xiao Li. She knew that this question was very impolite and had always endured it. Now that Zhuang Long and Xiao Li had already co this far, and Xiao Li looked especially fragile tonight, Ji Yinbing naturally asked this question.
Xiao Li said, “If I said that I wanted to give it to him because I love him, would you believe ?” Xiao Li seed to be joking, and her tone was self-deprecating.
Perhaps because they were both won, Ji Yinbing thought that what Xiao Li said was true.
“Was the first ti you t really in the Middle East?”
“What do you think?”
“I don’t think so,” Ji Yinbing said. “That ti, I’ve been accompanying Zhuang Long. His attitude towards you is the sa as how he treats other patients. It doesn’t make sense that you would fall in love with him just because he saved you once.”
Ji Yinbing’s burning gaze landed on Xiao Li’s face. She said, “Infatuation at first sight might be very simple. It’s just a glimpse, but love is not.”
