Chapter 1708 - Where On Earth Are You Touching?! (18) (1/2)

Oh, damn.

Qiao Yiyi cursed silently. She quickly looked down, trying to remain expressionless, even though the pain in her shoulder was quite unbearable.

She stole a quick glance at her own shoulder. Fortunately, she was dressed in red today and, even if the blood were to seep through, it would just look like a patch of a different shade. If one wasn’t paying attention, it would be hard to tell it was a blood stain.

She clenched her jaw tightly.

It was summer now and, on top of that, she had only managed to tend to her wound after some delay. Together with Lu Nanze’s unprofessional stitching skills, the pain she was feeling from the gaping wound now was so intense she could not speak.

She kept her head down and fell silent.

When Qiao Gang saw Lu Nanze, he immediately withdrew his hand. Smiling sheepishly, he exclaimed, “Mr. Lu, you’re home!”

Lu Nanze nodded.

He threw the two men a few puzzled glances, but recalled how frightened Qiao Yiyi had seemed when she had found out he had gone into her room. Immediately, he kept his mouth shut.

Without giving the other men another look, he went upstairs.

Once he was upstairs, he threw a sidelong glance at the three of them again. He saw that Qiao Yiyi still had her head lowered, but she was pale from the nerves. It was stifling just watching her.

What sort of wife had he taken for himself?!

She was as timid as a mouse.

Oh well, nevermind. It would be better to keep a distance from her from now on.

–

At this point, Qiao Yiyi had turned pale from both the blood loss and the pain. She had no idea at all that Lu Nanze had already misunderstood her.

The only thing on her mind right now was the blood seeping out of the wound, and the possibility of an infection if she didn’t try to close it up quickly.

And if that led to more complications, then she would be in trouble.
