Li ngjie did not keep silent but instead blurted out, "Xue Jiu, how can you help him bully ? I’m doing this for your good, you know. If the Cold Bodyguard is ssing around with other won, that shows no respect for you, his future primary wife. So, we must teach him a harsh lesson."
"Don’t drag into this," Ling Xuejiu sniffed. "Whatever he does with won has nothing to do with ; after all, he’s not mine in any way."
Leng Xuan rubbed his head, sensing a tone full of resentnt in her voice, but wisely chose to stay silent. Getting involved now was just asking for discomfort.
Under Ling Xuejiu’s relentless "Finger-Flicking Technique," Li ngjie finally opted to surrender, "Alright! Alright! I’ll stop talking. Xue Jiu, please let go, you’re practically pinching to swell."
Ling Xuejiu withdrew her hand and glared, "That’s for not keeping your mouth shut. If you dare to talk nonsense again, I’ll find a needle and sew your mouth shut."
After freeing herself from Ling Xuejiu, Li ngjie imdiately turned her fierce gaze towards Leng Xuan, irrationally blaming him for everything. She thrust the lunchbox in her hands in front of Leng Xuan and said, "Here."
Leng Xuan took the lunchbox, perplexedly asking, "What for?"
"Eat it," Li ngjie pursed her lips and said.
"Huh?" Leng Xuan replied awkwardly, "I already ate, you saw it."
"I don’t care," Li ngjie tossed her head, saying dictatorialy, "We worked hard to bring you food, and you must eat it all up, no matter what. Otherwise, don’t think about setting foot in this house again."
Leng Xuan offered a bitter smile. Sure enough, his fears were being realized; it seed he had no choice but to finish the al if he wanted to appease Miss Li. So, he sighed and nodded, "Fine, I’ll eat."
However, Li ngjie seed unwilling to let him off so easily. She continued, "Isn’t that beautiful nurse coming to deliver your dinner tonight? We’ll bring sothing too. You decide whether you want to eat ours, hers, or maybe finish both."
Upon hearing this, Leng Xuan nearly collapsed. What was this girl thinking, being so ruthlessly insistent?
Just then, Ling Xuejiu seed to take pity on Leng Xuan and intervened, "Enough, Xiao Jie, stop making trouble." Then, changing the subject, she looked at Leng Xuan and asked, "How did your injury heal so quickly? Last ti we ca, you were still lying there, wrapped in bandages, immobile."
Leng Xuan set down the lunchbox and smiled, "I’m quite robust, so my recovery is fast. If the doctor hadn’t insisted I stay in the hospital for a few more days to stabilize, I could’ve been discharged already."
"Wow! Really, Cold Bodyguard? That’s great to hear," Li ngjie exclaid joyfully, "You have no idea, over the days of your hospitalization, our house was surrounded by bodyguards. We weren’t allowed to leave except for attending school, for fear of encountering danger. I was nearly bored to death. If it weren’t for my call to Uncle Liu saying we were coming to see you, those bodyguards would never have let us out."
Listening to her, Leng Xuan nodded silently. It seed this must have been Old Master Ling’s directive. Without him by her side, Ling Xuejiu’s safety indeed wasn’t guaranteed, and the only alternative was to limit outings to reduce risk.
