Chapter 40: Chapter 40 Sleeping Together
Chapter 40 -40 Sleeping Together
Li Yehan could barely suppress his urge to laugh at her adorable awkwardness.
“I’ll turn around, then you help me rinse off.”
Li Yehan turned around and Nan Qiao frantically poured water on his back.
Thankfully it was summer, so it wasn’t too cold.
After the cool water had been running for a while, Li Yehan’s clothes were no longer wearable due to the sulfuric acid contamination.
Once sufficiently rinsed, Nan Qiao helped Li Yehan into her car and took out the first aid kit she kept there.
She disinfected a scalpel, then tore away Li Yehan’s shirt from his back and tossed it aside.
She stuffed a pill into Li Yehan’s mouth, saying, “Bear with it for a bit, I didn’t bring any anesthetic.”
“I trust you,” Li Yehan said with a light chuckle.
Nan Qiao ignored him, removing the necrotic flesh, pouring medicine over it, and then dressing his wound.
Li Yehan endured the intense pain, feeling every movement of Nan Qiao’s hands as he lay across the table without making a sound.
Nan Qiao helped him up, frantic with worry, “I am taking you to the hospital for a thorough check-up.”
Li Yehan met her dark eyes and asked with a smile, “Are you worried about me?”
Nan Qiao ignored Li Yehan and, along with his subordinates, hurriedly took him to the hospital.
Zheng Qinnian was on duty at the hospital today and, having received a call from Nan Qiao, was already outside waiting.
Relieved that it wasn’t Nan Qiao who was injured, Zheng Qinnian sighed upon seeing Li Yehan’s wounds.
Due to the sulfuric acid, Li Yehan’s back injuries were quite severe and required IV fluids as well as hospital observation.
Secretary Zhao rushed to the hospital as soon as she heard the news.
She completed Li Yehan’s admission procedures, brought him several changes of clothes, and even bought milk tea and some snacks.
Nan Qiao was surprised to see Secretary Zhao arrive with hands full, “Secretary Zhao, why are you carrying so much junk food?”
Li Yehan, who was receiving the IV treatment, turned his head to look at her, “I bought it for you.”
Nan Qiao’s heart fluttered, not expecting Li Yehan to still consider her needs.
Nan Qiao stood up, “Secretary Zhao, your timing is perfect.
Stay with Li Yehan; I need to go back.”
At a glance from Li Yehan, Secretary Zhao quickly backed away, “Miss Nan Qiao, I don’t have the time.
With Mr.
Li hospitalized, all the company matters fall to me.
Please, Miss Nan Qiao, don’t let me die young; I don’t even have a partner yet.”
Nan Qiao: …
Secretary Zhao, seeing the approving look from Li Yehan, continued, “Miss Nan Qiao, as a doctor with excellent medical skills, you staying with Mr.
Li is for the best.
Should any issue arise, you can treat him right away.
I won’t disturb you both, I’ll have someone deliver meals to you three times a day.”
Nan Qiao: “I need to go to the police station.
Manager Liu and Manager Xu conspired against me; I must seek justice.”
Secretary Zhao said, “Don’t worry, Miss Nan Qiao, Mr.
Li has already instructed us to handle the matter.
He has hired the best lawyer for you; these murderers will get theirs soon enough.”
Nan Qiao: ??
After finishing her piece, Secretary Zhao dashed off as if pursued by a flood or wild beast.
Nan Qiao: …
Li Yehan almost laughed, barely containing his amusement.
Secretary Zhao had done well, her salary would be doubled this month.
Li Yehan lay in bed, his upper body bare.
“Qiaoqiao, my back really hurts.”
Nan Qiao approached, sat by the bed, and saw the wound on Li Yehan’s back.
Although it was already covered with gauze, blood was still seeping through the white fabric.
“Don’t move.
Didn’t the doctor tell you?
You need to eat light food these days, and you can’t get your back wet.
It’ll hurt at first, but it will get better in a few days.”
A needle was inserted into the back of Li Yehan’s hand, and medicine slowly traveled through the tube into his vein.
“Can you blow on it for me?
It really hurts.”
The normally imperious man spoke with an enthralling and coaxing voice.
Nan Qiao sat beside him, looking at his back, which was devoid of any excess flesh.
Broad shoulders and narrow hips, wheatish skin that led down to a lean waist—it looked like he was full of strength…
Nan Qiao’s cheeks flushed red, spreading to her ears, just like a fully ripe tomato that one couldn’t resist wanting to bite into, to taste this juicy little tomato.
“It really hurts…”
Li Yehan turned his head to look at her, and Nan Qiao pressed on his head, “You first lay down properly.”
She couldn’t look directly into Li Yehan’s eyes for fear that she would get lost in them.
Li Yehan lay on the bed, feeling the warm breath on his back.
Nan Qiao really blew on his wound, and it really didn’t hurt anymore.
After blowing on it for a while, she took out the medicine she had made and applied it to his wound.
“You lay still, I’ll change the dressing for you.”
Li Yehan obediently lay down and indeed did not move.
Nan Qiao peeled off the gauze, applied the ointment, and after she had finished, it was cool and very comfortable.
“You sleep for a bit, I’ll watch over you.”
Li Yehan said, “You eat some snacks, take a sip of the milk tea while it’s still warm.
You’re taking care of me without eating or drinking, I can only repay you with my body.”
“Who wants you to repay with your body…” Nan Qiao lowered her head, picked up the milk tea, and took a sip.
Deliberately sitting in a spot where Li Yehan couldn’t see, she ate and drank.
Nan Qiao’s family didn’t know what had happened to her, neither did her colleagues.
Li Yehan intentionally kept the matter secret, wanting to spend more time with Nan Qiao.
Nan Qiao took out her phone and sent a message to Hou Ze.
She was surprised to learn that Li Yehan had really taken care of those two murderers.
Li Yehan was a man who always kept his word; she shouldn’t have doubted.
The feeling of being protected, she had only experienced that with Li Yehan.
Looking at the man lying on the bed sleeping, Nan Qiao felt a softness in her heart.
While holding her phone, Nan Qiao sorted out some work matters and sent a message to Chen Xinwan, saying she would go home later as she was having dinner with a friend.
As the sun set outside the window, Nan Qiao’s eyelids grew heavy, and she fell asleep against the back of the chair.
When Li Yehan turned his head to look at Nan Qiao, he caught the afterglow of the setting sun completely enveloping her frail figure.
Nan Qiao was so beautiful it seemed unreal, making Li Yehan’s throat tighten.
He got up, bare-chested, and came to Nan Qiao’s side, bending down to her lips.
The bodies of the two merged together under the setting sun.
Li Yehan picked up Nan Qiao, gently placed her on the bed, lay beside her, and wrapped his arms around her.
Just like that, the two fell asleep.
When they woke up, it was already six in the morning.
Nan Qiao woke up in Li Yehan’s embrace.
The warm embrace inexplicably brought comfort, but Nan Qiao was startled and shivered.
Why was she sleeping together with Li Yehan?
What was happening?
Nan Qiao pushed away Li Yehan’s arm that was over her, slowly retreating backward.
Li Yehan, half-asleep, thought the restless Nan Qiao was about to fall out of bed and subconsciously scooped her up, tightly holding her in his arms.
Nan Qiao took a deep breath, struggled to push away Li Yehan, and finally broke free, getting out of bed.
Just as Nan Qiao was about to leave, Li Yehan’s voice sounded from behind, “Where are you going?”
Nan Qiao subconsciously turned around, faced with the man’s strong physique, she was so frightened that she stumbled backward. novelbuddy.cσ๓
Li Yehan caught her slender waist, drawing her back into his embrace.
The disparity in strength between men and women caused Nan Qiao to collide into his embrace once again.
At that moment, the door to the sickroom was pushed open, and standing outside were Bai Zhenyang, Chen Xinwan, and Bai Yurou.
The three looked at the two people embracing each other inside in disbelief.
“What are you two doing!”
