Chapter 77 Acciden (2/2)

But before he could solve the problems that his company was facing, Ying Qingcang himself had an accident.

”How could this happen? Where is he?” Xin Qing rushed into the ER. Young Master Shen quickly held her back. ”Don't panic. It's just a flesh wound. The doctors are handling it!”

”Why would he get his head smashed all of a sudden?”

Young Master Shen was a little fearful too. ”That neon sign is quite old. There were also heavy rains for the past few days. I guess the metal supports failed.”

Today at noon, as Ying Qingcang was leaving the company, a neon sign fell off the top of Ying Enterprises' main building. Luckily, Ah Che had been quick to react and had shoved Ying Qingcang away just in time. The signage had smashed a hole through the roof of the car. In his fall, Ying Qingcang had smashed his head into a metal railing, though the injury was minor. It was just a gash.

Ying Qingcang walked out of the ER holding his head. Xin Qing closed the distance between them. ”Does it hurt? Are you okay?” she asked anxiously.

”I'm fine. Didn't even need stitches. They just disinfected the wound and put some ointment on it.” Ying Qingcang was just about to remove the gauze to show her his wound just in case she did not believe him. Xin Qing stopped him immediately. ”Don't. Later it'll get infected again.”

Ah Nan came over, carrying Ying Qingcang's medication with him. ”Should I leave this at the company or would you like to bring it back home?” Ah Nan asked Xin Qing.

”I'll take it home. I know first-aid,” Xin Qing said without hesitation.

Ah Nan passed her the medication while relaying the doctor's precautionary advice. Beside them, Young Master Shen joked. ”Tsk, tsk. I think this is the second time in your life that you got hurt after that outdoor survival camp that year.”

Ying Qingcang ignored him and pulled Xin Qing to leave. At night, Xin Qing took care of Ying Qingcang's wound. After that, she stepped into the shower alone. When she came out, she saw Ying Qingcang on the bed.

”It's been a month, and tonight's the night of the full moon!”

Xin Qing blushed. She really had forgotten that tonight was the night of the full moon. Hurriedly, she grabbed the blanket and threw it over Ying Qingcang's body. She turned around, switched off the lights and crawled into bed. Ying Qingcang pulled her into his arms the moment she got onto the bed.

”Be careful of your head wound,” Xin Qing said when she noticed the consistent bobbing of his head.

Ying Qingcang bit down on her lip. ”I need to put in more effort. You said you like kids, right? If I don't step up my game, how would we ever get a baby?” Xin Qing's eyes softened at his words. All this while, she had thought that Ying Qingcang did not care about the child at all. But the truth was that he just did not want her to suffer emotionally.

Xin Qing returned to school. She had caught up just fine in all her courses except for one. She had fallen too far behind in her French course. In the end, she had to spend her self-study time in order to sneak into the public lectures held in the French department. Even though Ying Qingcang had been busy recently, he would still come to pick Xin Qing up after she finished her classes. It took Xin Qing considerable effort to get him to agree to let her go shopping and have her meal with her best friends.

”I need to tell Ying Qingcang that he would be suffocating you if he keeps this up. Women will feel stressed if their man controls them like this.” Zhang Mi felt that if Xin Qing was already being controlled even before she was married, then Xin Qing would lose all her freedom after the marriage.

Xin Qing smiled like she did not care at all. ”He was still a bit tense after the abduction. But I think this is fine.” Probably because she had very little familial care in the past. Xin Qing found it quite nice to be worried and fussed over by her partner.

Shi Qianqian sat opposite the other two, sipping her coffee. Her mind seemed to be miles away. Xin Qing and Zhang Mi looked at each other. ”So. What's up with that house guest of yours?”

”What else? She wouldn't leave, of course. I can't chase her out either. By the way, do you know who she's become friends with?”

At those words, Xin Qing's curiosity was piqued. ”Are we acquainted with that person?”

”Oh please. You're more than just acquainted. In fact, you know her very well!”

Xin Qing's eyes went wide. She did not know a lot of people at all. From Shi Qianqian's face, it was clear that this was not a person Xin Qing liked. That woman immediately sprang to mind. ”Xin Yudie?”

Shi Qianqian raised her thumb at Xin Qing. ”Clever!”

”How'd those two end up being friends?” Zhang Mi said. ”Well, I guess thrash would prefer to be associated with each other.”

”How should I know?” Shi Qianqian's face bore a look of disdain. ”I saw them one day when they were having a meal together. They seemed to be in good terms with each other.”

Xin Qing suddenly went still. She stared blankly out the coffee shop's window. ”Speak of the devil,” she muttered.

The other two women followed Xin Qing's gaze. Xin Yudie and the woman she had been chatting happily with walked into the coffee shop...
