Chapter 108: Chapter 108: Too Foolish
When Qin Xiao burst into the chamber, what he saw was Xiao Li stabbing Fang Haiqiang with a knife. Because she needed to exert force to stab him, and since Xiao Li was drugged, she had no strength...
She had to use both hands to stab Fang Haiqiang, and because of this, her left hand was cut by the knife as well.
As soon as Qin Xiao entered, he saw Xiao Li’s hand bleeding profusely. He rushed forward in a few steps, kicked Fang Haiqiang aside, and immediately took off his shirt to press on Xiao Li’s hand to stop the bleeding, then carried her away.
Before leaving, he said to Feng Ye, "I’ll leave it to you."
Cheng Jue was first stunned by Xiao Li’s act of holding a knife to hurt someone. Before she could come to her senses, Qin Xiao had already barged in with people. When did the chamber become so easy to find?
Cheng Jue was completely bewildered by the sequence of events.
When Qin Xiao carrying Xiao Li reached the chamber’s entrance, Xiao Li saw an old man standing there. She thought he must be Wen Xiaozheng!
Perhaps the reason uncle found the chamber so quickly was because of him!
Wen Xiaozheng was momentarily stunned seeing Xiao Li’s face, which looked remarkably like Bai Ruoqing’s. He didn’t recover until long after Qin Xiao had left with Xiao Li...
As soon as Qin Xiao got into the car with Xiao Li, he immediately took the medical kit from the car to treat Xiao Li’s wound.
Throughout the process, Qin Xiao’s jaw was tightly clenched. Xiao Li knew he was in a bad mood because she was injured...
Qin Xiao’s face looked extremely grim, but his hand movements while treating Xiao Li’s wound were very gentle, trying his best not to let her feel any pain.
But no matter how gently he cleaned the wound, it still hurt...
The moment the disinfectant was poured onto the wound, Xiao Li winced in pain, but she forced herself not to cry out...
Though she didn’t cry out, her hand inevitably trembled slightly when the disinfectant was poured on.
Seeing this, Qin Xiao said in a low voice, "Bear with it a little longer, if you don’t disinfect it properly, the wound will get infected."
Hearing Qin Xiao speak, Xiao Li instantly felt like her hand didn’t hurt anymore, "Uncle, it doesn’t hurt, it’s just a little scratch, it’s not painful..."
Listening to Xiao Li’s comforting words, Qin Xiao’s face remained gloomy, "We still need to stitch it later, and you call this a minor wound?
Why did you have to do it yourself and even hurt yourself for someone like that?"
Qin Xiao said while his hands moved quickly, disinfecting Xiao Li’s wound and simply bandaging it.
After treating the wound, Qin Xiao took a spare shirt from the car and put it on. The car always had two or three spare sets of clothes for Qin Xiao’s needs.
As soon as he changed, the car started heading to the hospital.
The Wen Family’s old house is in the suburbs. It takes about forty to fifty minutes to drive back to the city, which is why Qin Xiao chose to treat the wound first rather than taking Xiao Li directly to the hospital.
After changing his clothes, Qin Xiao held the exhausted Xiao Li close to him in silence, his expression still tense.
Seeing this, Xiao Li could only explain, "That disgusting person lunged at me, and I didn’t know when you would find the chamber. Of course, I had to resist a little!"
Qin Xiao’s voice lowered even more, "What if you hadn’t stabbed him just now and he snatched the knife instead?
Have you thought about how dangerous that would be?"
Xiao Li was silent for a moment, then said, "I did think about it, but I’d rather take the risk than be humiliated!"
Hearing Xiao Li’s words, Qin Xiao, who had been resting his eyes, immediately opened them, turned Xiao Li around, and angrily said, "Xiao Li, do you not trust me?
If you’re in danger, I’ll come to your aid with all my strength. No one can harm you!
Remember this, no matter what happens in the future, the only thing you have to do is stay alive and wait for me to rescue you!"
Xiao Li had never seen Qin Xiao so angry in two lifetimes. It was the first time he had lost his temper at her, and she was momentarily at a loss.
Seeing Xiao Li scared by his own demeanor, Qin Xiao took a deep breath, suppressing his inner anger before gently embracing Xiao Li...
"Nini, I’m sorry! I shouldn’t have lost my temper...
No, I wasn’t mad at you; I was angry at myself, angry for not protecting you well!
Since I’m letting you encounter mishaps repeatedly in front of me...
I don’t even know what to do anymore?
Nini, should I tie you to me 24/7? Only then I can protect you at every moment...
Nini, I can endure anything happening to you except for you leaving me forever.
If you really left, you know, I would follow you.
I would go wherever you go, even to the ends of the Earth or the underworld.
So, Nini, promise me, no matter what happens, you have to live..."
Qin Xiao’s words were becoming a bit incoherent, and his hands trembled slightly as he held Xiao Li...
Hearing this, Xiao Li felt a fierce pounding in her chest.
Even though Qin Xiao’s words were jumbled, Xiao Li understood them all.
Thinking back to the previous life, when she had become a wretched ghostly figure, Qin Xiao never abandoned her and in the end, joined her in death; what else did Xiao Li not understand?
Xiao Li’s heart suddenly ached. In both this life and the previous one, Qin Xiao’s love for her surpassed her love for him.
In her previous life, she didn’t trust him and had no feelings for him.
In this life, although she had started responding to Qin Xiao’s deep love, she had always been passive in this relationship, and her trust in Qin Xiao was insufficient.
If she had trusted him enough and knew he was already at the villa, she wouldn’t have needed to resort to self-defense.
However, Xiao Li did not regret what she did.
Since being reborn, she has experienced many accidents, constantly worrying Qin Xiao, like the last hospital incident and now this.
She couldn’t keep making Qin Xiao worry!
So she needed to become stronger, at least be capable of self-defense, only then can she not make Qin Xiao worry about her.
Qin Xiao said it was his fault; he didn’t do well enough, always letting her encounter accidents, but he was already great.
The hospital incident was due to the grudge she held with Xiao Yan from her past life, which was unavoidable.
This time, Qin Xiao reacted quickly. After receiving her message, he arrived immediately, even finding Cheng Jue’s supposedly secure chamber so swiftly.
If he hadn’t come quickly enough, by the time Cheng Jue and Fang Haiqiang’s henchmen reacted, her fate wouldn’t have been good...
She used up all her strength with that one stab...
Xiao Li reached out her weak hand to hold Qin Xiao back, "Uncle, I know your intention to protect me, but the real way to protect me is to let me have the ability to protect myself.
Now, I kind of understand why clan education teaches girls martial arts; it’s all necessary.
I should also start learning..."
